THE CES OF A “ASTER THIEF. "llzmg the Women to eece the Gen- erous, and Setting a Trap for Car Fares. It was a cheerful morning. Tl e loss crook leaned languidly against the door post of a saloon on West srect, and eyed with the luck of a connoisseur the crowd eme rging from the gates of the Pennsylvania ferry house. The assistant crook leaned, not quite so languidly. against the d( or pOst of a saloon a liitle further down the street. His express on was also tl at of a connois- seur, but it lacked the implicit sslf-confi de non of the boss crook's. There was a lit- tle anxiety in his look, as though he Wkl‘J afraid something of importance might es cape his view. Vigilance was not such a. matter of course With him as with the ho: s crook. His eyes covered the exits of the New Jersey Central ferry. It is not haz arding much to say that between the bOss crook and his assistant not one of the coun trymen with {at wallets who might at any time, while the crooks stood sentinel, inzer New York from these termini of two great railroads, could escape the vigilance of these apparently uncrnceined individuals. They operated with gcod judgmint and (n a system. There is no better stand for the business in the city, and jo'n'ng fl rces in' sures aceuracy. As the reporter. who had been to New Jersey, crossed the street, he caught the boss crook‘s eye, and the boss crook recog- nizing him, became hilarious. “I’ve got a new racket, and Iguess you’ll think it’s a funny one,” (xclaimed the crook. » "If it's new, hadn’t you better keep it awhile?" exclaimed the reporter in an un- guarded moment of simple gt nerosity. “Wfll,” was the reply, “it's been going about a. fortnight. It is one of those, though, that pays handsomely while it’s go- ing on, but busts in about two weeks. This one’s been running just long enough. I'm going to call it in, can it, and keep it in stock for future use. You see a racket that’s old enough to be forgotten is about as good a commercial article as a fraud new racket. But even if I weren't going to cell it in I wouldn’t mind telling you. It’s a most wonderful thing, but publication don't seem to hurt our business. Our game's about the only thing I know (if that don‘t suffer frcm exposure. You newspaper in! n might publish something every day about the antique racket of calling a. man by a wrong name, finding cut his real name, and having your pal come up to him later and address him correctly. Just as many would walk into the 1r.lp Folks would read about it, callfhe victims fools, and feel confi' dent they’d never be caught. But the most confident are the first caught. You see, it's confidence against confidence. “'6 play on a. man's biggest bumpâ€"his greed for money. But, as I was saying, this racket’s just about up now, and it's newr bcrn givm away. ’cause it’s never been worked before. I’m the inventor and sole patentev. I’m especially proud of it, because it helps solve the problem of what to do with our Supn“ fluous frmininity. It enlarges the sphere of woman’s work.” “And how did this noble and philanthro- pic ides. (riginate ?" “In a very simple manner, my dear Ici- low. One day I was strolling down Broad- way. . Near W'all street two Sisters of Charity passed me. I’ve always admired Sisters of Charity. I’m serious now. I think that they’re about the pluckiest women there are. I’ve seen them out in the poor- ing rain or in a freezrng winter’s storm when strong mon kept at hLme, either visit- ing some abode of the pOU‘, to lring good cheer, or some rich man’s home to get some- thing to give to the poor. So they general- ly draw my attention. Well, one of these did specially. She was quite young with anoval face and brown eyes. I tell you, a painter who'd put hr r on canvas would turn out the prettiest picture of the year. I thought to myself that. the stoniest heart would melt before her. It was an easy matter to follow her into a law officeâ€"ask for some one else in the building, you know, and have the managing clerk give you di- rections that sounded like the descriptions of property in a mortgage. Well, sir, I saw one of the hardrst looking skinflints I ever laid eyes on shell out a fi y'er. And then the idea. came to me. “My girl’s not only pretty : she’s am- bitious. She'd been bothering me all along to take a. bind in the game. Bit somehow the idea didn’t strike the other fellows. You see co-opsration's the life of our trade, and I couldn’t well kick against them. But when I saw that fiver coming out I thought to myself, why couldn’t my moll draw out a fiver, too? “’ell, sir, I told her about it. and she was just wild over it. It was all I could do to get her to wait till I could get an outfit for her and her sister, who was to wcrk with herâ€"co operation again, you see. You should have seen her when she was fixed up. She looked as if her lips never moved to anything but paternosters. One morning they started off, and when I came home they th‘a counting over in much money as I’d bring home in a week. Well, things went on that way till about three days agoâ€"nearly a fortnight. They came home and said they hadn’t found folk so willing, and they’d been pretty hard pressed by some. I knew then it was time to shut down on the racket, and it's ofl” You see, the difl'x rent charity orgaiitzaticns try not to interfi re with one another, and go different routes, They are sure to find out, sooner or later, any one trespassing over their respective routes. I knew it wouldn't be pleasant for my girl to be found out, so I shut right dovi 11.“ "By the way,” he said, as the reportrr was going, "things are getting dull here, and starting tomorrow for a trip up the river.‘ "Going to play any game from there 2’” I “Only an old racket.

For several months Southern papers have been describing the wonderful perzorrnauces of a young girl known as Lulu Hurst. These reports have stated that she possessed a un- ique and extraordinary "force." We were pleased, therefore. to rcceive re- cently a very careful and conscientiously written account of this phenomenon from Dr. Seth N. Jordan. of Columbus, G L. Dr, Jordan states that, in company with I).‘S. George Grimes and Cailisle Terry, be e amined Miss Hurst, and that they all agreed that she is not a fraud, but possesses some (xtia'rdinary and occult power. He writes that she in fifteen years of age, five feet four inches high, weighs one hunond and twenty five pounds, is of moderate muscular devol- opmcnt, in good general health, hm mcn- strunted regularly, is of an intelligent and amiable disposition. She first became aware of the possession of her “fires” list S ptem- her, and it has continued ever slnce, wit: tle exception of a brief interval when she had a "cold." ' Drs. Jordan, Terry, and Grimes,‘ havmg purchased a new umbrella, experimented with her for four hours in the room of a hotel. The phenomenon develr ped was somewhat as follows 2 Two or three scientific persons take hold of the handle of an open umbrella, and hold it fast : Miss Lulu then touches it with her open palm, when, pr: sto l the uml-relln is turned inside out, or snst thâ€" ed away despite every effort. Me.nwhile other persons find that no muscular con- tractions have taken place in L'llll's arms. Three strong and scientific men lift up a chair, and hold it in the air. Lulu places her hand upon it, and it sinks to the flowr despite every effort. Dr. Jeran and others took hold of a long stick, the phenOmenon touched the other end and it rapidly revolv- ed, or pulled the three experimentalists roughly about the room. Miss Hurst's “force” seems to have a peculiar “penchant” for uinbrel'as and caries, so that she cannot carry the former article at all, the mystical someth ng snatching it away and leaving her out in the wet. W'itli the exception of the production of knocks and raps, the above are the chief phenomena. exhibited and described. \Ve fully believe that Dr. Jordan has de~ scribed them Lorrectly. and that Miss Hurst is a remarkable girl. But there is one feat- ure in her performance which no one, not even Dr. Jordan, seems to have noticed, or at all events carefully studied. This is, that all the exhibitions of her wonderful force are exhibited in opposing Velvntary muscular effort in otheis This force has no power over dead matter, but only over liv- ing. conscious, muscular exertions. This fact explains, we believe, the mysterious energy which the Georgian phenomenon ap- pears to develops. It is the experimenters, not the subject. who knock themselves and umbrellas stout. At any rate, the matter ought to be investigated from this standâ€" point. It will probably be found that Miss Hurst’s (xhibitions are only another phi-is: of the hypnotic phenomena.â€"Medical Re- cord. SONGS OF THE PEOPLE. Famous Popular Pleces that sell by the Hundred Thousand. Stephen C. Foster, the author of 'Old Dog Tray‘ and 'Old Folks at Home,’ was a genuine American, a. farmer’s boy, who had but limited opportunity for musical instruct- ion : still of his 'Old Folks’ fully 1 000,000 copies have been sold, and of his 'Old Dog Tray' 600,000 stldes these he ‘Uncle Ned’ and ‘Suianna' are favorites. The reason of the pepularity of Foster's songs lire in their easy flowmg melody, the ad- herence to plain chords in the accompani- ments, and the advoidance of intricacy in the harm<ny or embarrassing soiidentals in the melody. I was present when they bur- ied this sweet singer in Pittsburg in 1846, to the strains of his own long. ‘Come Where My Lave Lies Dreaming.I It is the simplici- ty and sWeetness of the tune that makes the popular singer, and the same conditions hold 503d to-day. Henry C Work, anews- paper man, lately deceased, is the author of ‘Come Home Father,’ and ‘Grandfather's Clock'; of each over 200 000 copies have been sold. The famous ‘Silver Threads am ong the Gold,’ with as large a sale as the two former together. is by H. P. Dmks, an organist. Will S H iys, another newspwer man, wrote the Songs ‘Evangeline.’ Nero O Neill.’ and ‘Shamus O Brien.’ each having a sale of over 100,000 copies. ‘Shoo Fly, Don't bodder me.’ ‘Put Me In My Little Bed.’ and 'Corne, Birdie, Come,’ are compos. ed by C. A. White, and have been published by the author. 0f each of them full 150,- 000 copies have been sold. lDon't be arrow- iul Darling. and ‘Larens,’ are by J. P. \Vebster, a simple country music teacher, and ‘Gathering Shells by the Sea Shore' is by W. S Thompson, each song having a. sale of over 300 000. ‘Leaf by Leaf the Roses Fa 1.’ and ‘Pretty as a. Pict- ture’ are by T. B. Bishop. a musical broker, who his the satisfaction of knowing that over 100 000 copies of his songs have al- ready been sold, and an equal number will be sold before they die out “Of John Howard’s Payne's wonderful air over two millitn copies must have been sold and the publishers will grow rich fro n the work of the singer who died away from the home he so passionately loved. To this same clues of popular songs belcngs Thomas Moore's 'Last Rose of Summer.’ of which 1,500,000 copies sold in this country. and it has, therefore, a place among American songs. 0 'Kmtlileen Mevourneen,’ by F.

A steady improvement, how'ever. toward the old time prosperity is now seen by comparing the pr )ductions of latter years with that of 1866, when it had dwindled tn the compiratively insignificant amount of 12,002 080 pounds. Viry few besides Chinese anil nagroes can be kept on the plantations as lworkers, and owing to the intensely trying nature of the climate in summr, with its accompanying marsh fevers, the question of labor supply is a very serious one to the planters ; but while the old-fashioned method of cutting, sowing, and transpraing still prevails on most plantations, numerous labor swing machines and improvements have been in troduced with marked success in the varioui milling processes. Many large mills are to be seen on the low shores of the Mississippi, in too vicinity of New Orleans, but those at Charleston and Sivannah are perhaps the largest and most complete in the r appointmeu's. Many are lrfty buildings of brick or iron, their many storeys cro wded with the latest improved machinery for hulling, dusting, cleaning, burnishing, anl packing the grain ready for shipment. Sitiated at the water’s edge, their tall chimneys pouring forth heavy col urrrls of smoke, their derricks lifting the rough grain from the decks of the river craft, while the elevaters, with long-armed spouts, dip deep into and fill the great holds of sea-going steamers with milled grain, the clouds of drifting chaff dust, the whir of machinery. and hurrying of boats and tugl, all present amcst charming picture. and un- mistakably indicate the rapid reviv ll of one of the most valuable of the Southern indus- tries. A SLY SAURIAN. And me Struggle with a Bull-Beaded Beetle. An alligator not more than six inches long is s.ourely housed at 190 West Seventh street. He was born an Orphan last winter in New Orelans, and during last spring cams North to spend the summer in an aquari- um. Il: is only within the last few days he has become reconciled to the climate of Cincinnati, and begun to develope an appe- tite for things terrestrial, such as files. dim- inutive bugs, and other objects of interest to entomolo ists. Early ast Saturday an enormous beetle flew into the house where the alligator is being entertained, and fell to the floor. One of the occupants of the house scooped up the intruder on her fan and flirted it off in- to the aquarium. The water in this orna- mental vessel is very shallow, so much that when his alligatorship stretches his six inches along the botlom his back and tail are not submerged. Luckily for the beetle, he lmded well up on the alligators till, high and dry, so high that the 'gstor couldn't double up and nib him. The reptile lashed the water. and in his contortions described nearly all the curved letters of the alpha- bet. but to no purpose ; the beetle hung on and appeared to enjoy the ride. DOYng a moment when the alligator was at rest the rider appeared to let go his hold to secure one more suitable, when quicker than lightning he was shaken off, and was floundering in the water. Instantly the ’gator twirled to get his prey, when his tail again touched the drowning insect. and again there was a passenger aboard elated owr his narrow escape. Not contented with the ptrilous pesition from whicha moment before he had been thrown, the beetle begun crawling up the back of his enemy to what looked like more secure quarters. With the sagucitv of the fox the reptile now lay quiet. evidently hiding the time when Lhc death walk would be sure to end. Slowly the beetle crawled, fastening his feelers one by one int) the youthful scales of his enemy. The ’ga‘or moved not a muscle. He did not even breathe, while his eyes shot forth the malignant hatred of a l).1$lllol£. The beetle finally reached the ugly-shap- ed head, which was held Well up out of wa- ter. In a twinkling the head was ducked, the beetle was ag sin in the water. and in another instant the incipient teeth of tlm reptile had crushed down through the still cased Wings of the bug, and the struggle was owr. The alligator made no Llfort lo de vour the elephantine bug. He simply held on to him, half of the corpse in his mouth and the other half in the water, and not un- til an hour or two after daylight yesterday morning did he spit out the mouthful and evince a. desire for his usual breakfast of half-dead fliesâ€"Cincinnati Enquirer.

OONBDY’S CARRIAGE TOPS is one of the best. Not that a carriage top is nice, but the urea: paint of something more perfect than the heavy. expensive. inconvenient top: in use, suggested the inVUntiou of the Conboy adjustable tops. which has been altered .ind improved until it now stands without a rival. The styles and grades now manufactured are the most popular, and are varied enough to suit all tastfl. Mr. \Jonboy is the Pioneer in the business. It has been his aim since the commencement to merit the patronage and confidence of the trade and the public,by producing durable and convenient, and at the same time. elegant and stylish tops. that could be sold at ex- ceeilingly low prices. That this end has been attained is abundantly proved by the thousands sold, and the numerous letters received from the leading carriage builders through the country. Since moving to .Toron- to, Mr. Conboy is giving his whole aim to the improve‘ ment and manufacture of carriage tops, where his ln‘ creased facilities, his practical knowledge as a carriage builder, and his numerous parentsnd improvements. give him great advantage over all competitors. 407‘KING STREET, WEST.
