A ragged and dirty vagrant who gave the name or John Walsh, 44 Ilurward street, Brooklyn, was arrested the other day by Policeman McGowan at the cor ner of Fulton and Cumberland streets in that city. Ho was charged with loung ing and vagrancy. When the sergeant took stock of the contents of the man's pockets, he nearly fainted with astonishment First a roll of bills amounting to $.10 was found then an Emigrant Savings bank book showing deposits of $2,200 turned up, and lustly the officer took from an Inside pocket a book issued by the Provident Savings bunk of Jersey City, which gave John Walsh credit for having $1,000 in the bunk's keeping. Then the man him self produced from another pocket a certificate of dcKsit in mi English bank which added f'.'.OOO to his linnets. In the Uutler street court the wealthy vagrant was lined $:l, which he paid with some reluctance from the roll of bills found upon him. New York Adver tiuer A Veteran's Cull on tli President. "I am 00 yours old and was hers in the days of Webster and Calhoun. 1 simply called to see the president and pay my respects." This was the statement made to the doorkeeper at the White House recently by an old man whoso hiiir was snow white, whose form was bent with age, but whose step wus firm as that of any of the cullers who climbed the stairway. The venerable visitor was ex-Senator Dradbury of Maine. Ho wos not read ily recognized by the doorkeeper, so he was requostod to wait out In the corri dor until some of tho senators and rep resentatives who thronged the cabinet room bad been disposed of by the presi dent.

Washington Letter. Fighting lu th TranaTaal. A novel method of knocking out an enemy's brains is described by a gentle man who was camping some years ago in the Transvaal. Everything had been made snug for the night, and before turning in lie wus sitting with some of bis companions about the fire. Soon an altercation sprung up between two of bis attendants, a Mashoana and Makolo lo, who were standing uot far off. The object of discussion was a piece of meat they were broiling. One word led to another, writes tlW traveler, till both men became extreme ly angry, and although I did not under stand they were doubtless nsing the choicest billingsgate that they could command. At length both rushed to the wagon. My servant whispered in my cur, "Assegai, boss!" so 1 sprang np to prevent them from obtaining these weapons, of which an abundant supply was fustened on the outside. Frustrated in their attempt to arm theinsol ves, they rushed upon each other. I would nave interfered but that my countryman quietly said, "Let them fight it out, or you will have no peace." I lot them do so. Immediately they clasped each other and commenced butting their heads to gether like u pair of sheep. The blows were terrific and sounded almost as loud as a well executed clap of the hands. There was no attempt at boxing, only butting, and so effectually was it per formed that blood began to flow from both of tho antagonists' noses. After a lapse of five minutes employed in this kind of exciting work both sat down to recover breath in ordor to renew the en counter. Then I interfered, and about half an hour luter I saw the combatants sitting at tho same fire und chatting to each other most cordiully, as if the recent fight had no pluce even in their motn- ories.

The English are very fond of the curl 011 game of billiards, and a lotter has been discovered in the British museum which gives the origin of the national eiwrt. It was invontod by a London pawnbroker, whose name was William Kew. Kew not only lent money, but be sold cloth, and for the latter purpose had a yard measure, with which ho used to compute the amounts. One day to dis tract himself lie took the three round bulls which are the emblems of his trade they may still be seen in front of cer tain shops in London and placing them on his counter began to hit them about with the yard measure. He found it made a pretty game. lie got a kind of skill in making one ball glunce off tho other, and his friends who saw him thus employed culled the game Bill s yard. It was soon shortened into billiards. But the yardstick was the in strument witn wiucn the bulls were knocked about, and difficulty arose as to what to call it They called it after the name of the pawnbroker a Kew. Puris Figaro. lloneit ve. Olahoneat Advertlalng. A pleasant featuie of the advertising nut forth by the Hoval Baking l'owdcr Company, frequently commented npon by consumers, is the absolute confidence that may be had in the truthfulness of all its claims and statements. There is evidently the same care and accuracy in the framing of the Hoval advertisements that there la in the com pounding of the Hoyal Powder. It appears, unfortunately, that not all baking powder people are so scrupulous ly careful. The recent letter from the Jndge of Awards on Baking Powders at the Chicago World's Fair, exnoeing the liilnitr of the claim of another )ione that its baking powder had received the highest award for strength, nnritv. ex cellence, etc., is a scathing rebuke to those manufacturers of inferior baking powders who have no regard for the troth, but habitually seek, in their pub lic announcements, to deceive consum ers, the Judge of Awards states that no such award was given to the concern in question, and has notified it that it most cease publishing his name in con nect, on with it false statements. The harbor of Acaptilcois an ideal one for shelter, and after the steamer is one at anchor it is a source of mystery to the passengors who have not been on deck how she ever eutored the quiet Iittlo bay The high, blue mountains in the back ground, the tii.ll palmsnnd tropical green down to the water's edge, along the shore the tiled and thatched houses among the oldest on the const and on the rising ground to the right the an cient fort and military prison all these make a sight that fills a lover of the pio tnresque with enthusiasm. Tho waters about the steamer are thick with the boats and dugouts of the bum boat women and dirty native boys ped- llmg fruit, shells, pearls and a world of indescribables, all keeping up a constant Jin of jabbering jargon, that, with the hundreds of half nuked natives passing from the ship to the lighters discharging cargo, makes an exciting scene, in sharp contrast to the peaceful outlook on the shore beyond. From the ship the city seoms but collection of small adobes, scattered here and there along the hillsido, with an oc casional long, low white building in viow. But no sooner has the traveler passed the gates of the custom house thau a little city of 13,000 inhabitants lies bo- fore him under the shelter of the hill, with thriving stores thronged with dark eyed senoritas and men in white linen or bespangled velvet, many of the hitter with the flaming serape hanging over the shoulder. Edmnnd Warron represented an Amer ican house. He had taken tho place of the traveler who for years bad made the annual visit to the Mexican seaports. He had never seen Acapulco before, nor had Henry Sanford, who accompanied him on this trip. Thoy hud only just landed and become Bottled in the miser able excuse for a hotel in time to enjoy a delicious comma, when thoy felt an impulse to join the throngs which filled the clean paved streets as evening came and night soon followed the footsteps of the sultry duy. Passing down the street leading by tho stores, the market and the pluzu, just back of the custom house, a small space under sheltering palms opened to view, where night after night the lower classes assembled to wutcb the fundango. The crowd of dark skinned mon and women, all dressed in the garb of the locality, stood out in the dim light of the lung torches planted here and there among the throng, like ghosts of departed senor itas and cuballeros. All were watching the couples dancing the monotouous clog quadrille on the low platform to the urn- sio of drum, tambourine and guitar. With hands on hips und heads thrown back, the dancers faced each other on the boards arms' length apart, and the constant stamping of Iittlo feet und the changing from side to side was kept up until all were exhausted and others took their places. The Americans had mingled with the throng about the dancers, watching ul ternately the platform and tho groups of iflrls about, soon soft eyos hud discov ered the strangers, und coiiuettis glances went out from beneath long lashes, Wurren was never happy unless in love and ia love with every pretty face that canio ucross his path. His heart beat fusterus hecaught the glances shot at himself and and Ilenrv. and he nearly pinched the latter s arm oil as a smile came from a dark eyed beauty on the edge of the throng, Gad, Ilenryl Such eyes! Did you ever see their like? he exclaimed. "I must see where she lives. Are you with me?" and he rubbed Ins hands in untici pation of an adventure, Henry was quite as ready for a lurk as his com pan ion. Ten o'clock. The dancing was over, and the crowd scattered through the dark streets. "You had better look out for that tall Mexicau with your beauty, Ned. Ho may stick a knife into us," cautioned Henry. "Nonsense. Come on." was the othor's rejoinder. They did not notice the nutivo police. not uniformed, but armed, following some distance behind as the Americans dogged the footsteps of the first conquest of the amorous Warren, nor did thoy know their custom of "running in" the foreigner on any pretext whutovcr for the revenue of the paltry fine. Miiriollu Narvaez know full woll that her new ad mirers were close behind, and so did her tall lover. He undo her good night as Warron and Snnford passed, and went back toward the pluzu. If the Ameri cans could have heard his consultation with Old China, tho bumboat woman and character of Acapulco, they might even now bo back in their native city. The young men retraced their stops and found tho olive skinned beauty still in the door. They saluted. The bow was returned. Adelanto, sonors "So yon waut to buy the Block Pearly To buy itl Yon fool!" shrieked Old China when the Mexican bad finished his story. "What do you know about It?" "I know what was said when the com andante waa found dead, and that the police were afraid to search for it. Five hundred pesos for its nse tonight that is all 1 ask." "The K)lic aro fools, and you are a fool. I know nothing abont the Black Pearl." "Come, China. A thousand pesos for Its use and the knowledge how to use it." "A thousand pesos," muttered the old woman. "Huve you the money with your" "Aye, that I have, and I want its om for only this one night." China waddled into an adjoining room, whence after nincb delay she brought forth a pnekngo carefully wrapped and sealed. "Yon must uot nndo this, sonor," she suid, "or you, too, will suffer if you see the pearl. Tito laughter and song in the adobo casita stopped at a knock on the outer door, and Ned Warreu's pretty Acapnl can answered tho summons. A neat parcel was banded her by the messenger. which she eagerly unfolded. "With the compliments of ," it said, but she knew the handwriting. How funny at this hour! she thought, but her snapping black eyes danced with glee as she undid the parcel and found it to contain hu immense black pearl set in beaten yellow metal of quaint work mnnship. At her exclamation of delight the others grouped about, and the object of their admiring glances was laid ujion the table for inspection. An instinctive shudder passed through Sanford as Muriella laid it under the candle light. It seemed to emit a pecu liar light, and a queer, pricking sensa tion went through his veins as ho viewed the jowel the largest of its kind he bad ever seen. As he looked a reeling or ex hilurution came over him, such as be bud not felt during the evening. That lust drink of tequila was too much, he thought, but the others, too. were beginning to evince signs of liveli ness even greater than all the hilarity of the night had brought forth. A faint blue haze seemed to cover every object in the room. The figures of the girls at intervals looked fur away and then near by. while a feeling of ntter recklessness pervaded bis whole being. All the plmn- tuHinB of the opium eater could not be more weird than those which came into San ford's brain as bis gaze was riveted on the jowel lying umong the candles grouped around it on the table. In their dim light it seemed to grow and grow, emitting a demoniacal glow that, but for the spirit of recklessness which possessed him, would huve filled his soul with dread. 'The fandango," cried one of the girls, with a wild burst of laughter, "Lot us dunce once more, for I feel as though uiy feet were en fare, and when the guitar sounded the notes of the dunce the dune ers seemed to enter into it with fiendish delight und boisterious enthusiasm. Buck and forth they crossed, swaying like wil ows in the wind, with hands on hips and heads well back, their feet puttering and stamping to the twanging of the guitar Faster and faster their movements be came, as the music seemed to till every fiber with its wild action.

The trouble arises over the fact that Juror Oswald is taken with a fit every time blood is mentioned, und the case has to rest until he recovers. The very mention of a wound or the showing of a knife sends him into a lit of shivers, and the attorneys are struggling along in an effort to conduct the case without the use of gory details.

I was tumbled overboard head foremost iu tho water, some 40 to 60 feet deep. Ai I struck tho water the fish that I had caught, a man eating shark, laid hold of tho calf of my right leg. The pain was fearful, and I felt myself jerkod rapidly down toward the bottom of tho sea. "In my full I did not relax my hold on tho lino, and ns soon as I realized my position I knew that my life depended on my ability to hold on to tho cord. The strugglo I know wus not long, bnt to mo it seemed like au ago. The cord was fastened to a beam in tho boat, and inch by inch I gained on my antagonist, and ns soon as I appeared on the surface the boatmnu came to my assistance. The shark retained its grip on my leg until my body was entirely o"ut of tho water, and oven then it did uot let go nutil the boatman knocked it off with an oar. When I wns safely 011 the inside, how ever, we pulled for tho shore, and as my hook wns securely fastened in the month of tho shark no trouble was ex perienced in landing tho fish. It was between 5 and 6 feet long. "Chicago Post JOHN BULL'S HUMOR. Rather Too Much of a Good Thing. When J.

In 1864 a squad of the Fifty-fourth t'ennsylvnma cavalry, who were out on a scout endeavoring to learn something of tlie movements of Oeneral Forrest, camped at a spring near Mr. Railey's residence. The following morning be fore departing they rode np to Railey's, ill bat one, who was walking. The man nn foot went to the barn and led out the finest horse there, Railey expostr lated in vain. "Let that horse loose. 1 wouldn't l:ike (230 for that horse, you low down Vankee thief," he angrily exclaimed. "Don't worry yourself so, pardner," mildly replied the soldier. "You see, my horse died last night, and I am bound to have another. If I were to depend on my feet to get me ont of this country, Forrest would get me sure." And he took the horse. At that time Bailey was well off. but now he Is poor. Recently be received a letter signed Frank K. Walldran, which contained $685, the purchase value of the horse and the accumulated interest Mr. Walldran lives in Reading, Pa., and though for a long time himself the vic tim of adversity is now well to do and ha at last found himself able to pay for the horse he took so many years ago.
