A SPECIMEN OF RURAL GRAFT.

While so many stories of official cor ruption are coming out, here is one worthy of attention. George Bishop of Buffalo was a sailor. In the summer he made his living on the great lakes. In winter his occupation was that of professional prisoner at county and village jails. This was his method as related by himself:
 T get into town and I goes up to a cop and says, Say, how are you fixed for a lttle time?' And he says how much do you Want| I say. oh about five or ten days Then him and me fixes it up. He takes before the justice and 1 pleads guilty and down I goes. Time up, I get a tip and skip over to other parts, where the officers are Ill right, get a little time off them, and back I comes under a new name, down again and so on.'
 Tn most of the rural parts of New York, as in other states police officers are paid by fees for each arrest made, and sheriffs or jailers are given an al- lowance for the board of each prisou- CT while in custody. The explanation is sufficient to show the full meaning of the sailor-t tramps story. It implies direct collusion De:Ween hoboes and various rural officials. The tramps are boarded free of cost and in idleness. Tn addition Bishop said he usually made from $50 to S75 from tips from officials whom he accommodated The officers get the profit from boarding men and the fees for arresting them. Bishop said he knew about forty men who follow this life every winter.
 This story was told on the witness csfg slf TTf1 in, I.. investigation of the sheriff of Orleans county, New York, who has resigned under charges. It is here related in

JAPANESE PROVERBS.

There is no miracle in true doctrine.
Human life is like the dew Of the
morning.
The fallen blossom never returns to
the branch.
There Is no shore to the brtter sea Of
Birth and Death.
Never let go the reins OF the wild
colt Of the heart.
One confession effaces the sins Of
even three years.
Only by reason OF having died does
one enter into life.
With one hair Of a woman you can

Thomas A. Edison.
Thomas A. Edison once told friend
the story Of his first acquaintance with
any big sum of money. 1t was when
he was struggling with his earlier in
ventions, and he had about as clear
an idea of the value of bank check
as the man in the moon. He had final
ly sold his patent on the gold and stock
Indicator to the Western Union Tele-
graph company and had called at its
Office to close the deal. After a few
preliminaries he was given a check for
$4,000. He eyed it curiously and APP
peared to be puzzled what to do with
1T. Observing his perplexity, General
Lefferts. then president of the Western
Union, told him that if he would go to
the Bank of America, In Wall street,
he could get the cash on his check

carefully folding up the check, and
