Morgan, of JTer York, and it reveals tlie most as tounding frauds perpetrated upon that monomaniac purchaser of pictnies, china, jewels and other decorative objects. The executors f?nd that she expended a total sum of quite $.",000,000 for ornamental things, including great extravagance in orchids; and the rareful estimate by experts of the amount likely to be realized through auction sales is only $500,000. Taking into account the difference naturally expected between auction price3and those fairly charged by retail dealers, the calculation is that Mrs. Morgan fooled a,vay not less than $2,000,000. The disclosures are wonderful. She seems to have been crazed by her passion for beautiful articles, and to nave exaiiea ner desire in propor tion to the sums demanded for them, quite regardless of intrinsic worth. Agents took advantage of her weak ness to impose upon her. Suits to recover some of the money thus ob tained from her are to be instituted in the instances where false repre sentations can be clearly shown and the sellers are financially responsi ble. A favorite method" of duping her was to represent that ceramics, of fine yet not unique character, had been bought at enormous trouble and expense from the private col lections of European or Asiatic aristocrats. In that way she was induced to pay $5,000 to $10,000 a piece for china not worth more than as many hundreds. For one small vase she gave $15,000. Another vase. fiEtirincr at $8,000. in nro1v worth $500 in the market She spent a round $1,000,000 for paintings which possess only a fraction of that salable value. Sometimes the gain ers by her gullibility as to pictures were the artists and sometimes dealers. But it was in precious stones that she suffered the heaviest losses. On the averago she paid double prices, for, while some were regularly purchased at the counters of honorable merchants, many were foisted upon her bv rascally operators. Still, certain "Broadway firms are inculpated. The executors are willing to sell the entire collec tion of jewelry at one-third the sum that Mrs. Morgan paid out. Instan ces of downrightswindlinghave come to light. A gambler, reduced to his last diamond a big one, worth about $1,000 had it curiously set in an original manner, took it to her, related how the gem had been brought by him from Brazil, where it had been the property of Dom Pedro, and thereby sold it to her for $0,000. A hoop of gold set with three diamonds is offered for sale at $30,000 less than she paid for it. Mrs. Morgan had an incurable malady, and was aware that she would inevitably die soon. Site aimed to get as much pleasure as possible during her remaining days, and her reckless expenditures were for that purpose. "While lying in her invalid chair, she would have a pict ure, piece of pottery, or some other beautiful thing, placed before her for contemplation; and they were usually changed every hour as long as she found diversion in trazing a! them. When her disease arrived at a stage that threatened to confine her to her bed, she gave orders for a sumptuous decoration of a chamber and a couch, with furniture and walls set with jewels and painted with the fineness of a Meissonier can vas; and this work, which would have cost $100,000, was barelv be mm when she died more suddenly than she had expected. She was the widow of the founder of the Morgan line of steamers, who left $7,000,000 to her. The estate is not now ex pected to yield more than $3,000,000 in money. Equal to the Emergency. A short time since a gentleman who lived in a small town not far from Buffalo went the way of all flesh, and the burial ceremonies to be performed over his remains were committed to the charge of a local undertaker. The funeral was quite an important one, for the gentleman was prominent in his own town and a number of his friends from the city were present. The services wero hold in the church, but just as the time arrived for taking the re mains to theceraetery,a severethun-der-storm came up and it was consid ered best not to start until the worst of the storm was over. The wait was rather an embarrassine one, bat the undertaker was equal to the emergency. Standingon thecbancel steps he shouted so as to be heard in the choir loft at the other end of the building: "The organists will please give us a little music to while away the time." Even the mourn ers smiled. Buffalo Express. A hygienic journal recommends sweeping, if properly done, as one of the very best kinds of exercise for women. Now, if some genius will invent a species of tennis that may be played with brooms, he will be a benefactor of society. New York Graphic.

Tony Flash could scarcely remem ber when he was an honest man. He didn't think, indeed, he had ever been anything but a thief ever since he was a boy. But he never liked to think about his boyhood. He swore terribly if anybody spoke about his mother to him. And so midnight, this Christmas eye, found him engaged in his profes sional duty of "cracking a crib." He wa3 in a house that belonged to and was occupied by another citizen. That citizen and his family were sleeping the sleep of unsuspecting innocence. But Tony Flash did not waste the lone, starry hours in sleep, love. That was just when he made his best time, right on the midnight stretch. He had been pretty thor oughly through the citizen's house, and his canvas bag was full of swag, silver spoons and tea things, silk dresses, costly furs, some watches and little articles of escritoire and bijouterie and such little parterre. He is about ready to depart, but pauses near the fireplace, wondering if he had not better step into an adjoining bedroom, and knock the party who is snoring in the head before (s)he wakens some of the fam ily. The bell in the spire of Saint Mammon's tolls twelve. What was there in the vibrant tones of the midnight bell that fell upon the burglar's callous heart like a voice from long ago? Some thing that awakened echoes long silent; something that touched a chord long vears unresponsive. His hand trembled. "What's this?" he whispered to himself. "Am I a woman?" His eye3 fell upon a row of wrinkled, dimpled little stockings hanging beside the fireplace. The shape of the little feet was still there, thoiipll th ctnolrincra Vmlornrl nTld bunched with the little toys thrust in them. The robber looked at them. "This is Christmas eve," he said under his breath, "I had forgotten." Ay, long years had he forgotten, but it all comes to him now. lie presses his brawny hand upon his heart to still its beating, and his eyes are chained to the little stockings. In the next chamber he can hear the soft breathing of the little ones who, in sweet, childish confidence, had hung them there. He was once a child himself, innocent as they; had he forgotten it? He had children of his own, young and fairas they. Did he forget them? His heart gave a bound like like a frightened hare. His little ones 1 In that moment he passed through a bath of fire. "Good enough," he muttered hoarsely, "just the thing for the kids." And with one quick movement of his muscular arm the robber swept the whole line of stockings into hi3 treasury pack, and, hurrying noise lessly down-stairs, stepped lightly over the prostrate figure of a vigilant policeman asleep on the front stoop, and disappeared in the direction of his favorite fence. Brooklyn Eagle. .Servant in. Euslisk Ho lines. Over in England in a great house thirty or forty servants is no unusual number, and when there is a house party, as many as 100 arc often as sembled,foreachguestbringshisown servant, and the various valets and maids, the extra coachmen and grooms, make up a company that rivals the array in the drawing room for pretension and p?ide; for all these especially the uppor servants must be placed according to the rank of their masters. The servant of a duke, of course, precedes the servant of an earl, and the valet of an ambassador naturally goes before the gentleman of a mere envoy. They are usually called by the names of their "masters, so as to settle at once this point of prec edence. Reconciled. Smythkins is very superstitious.
