suspiciousflthe coming storm. It is per-
haps needlms to state that James immedi-
ately enscohced himself behind a large tree,
out of harm's l'woy. About this time a re-
port , which would done credit to a twenty-
four pounder,'uroused the folks in the house,
who, on muse, rushed out to the scene of
the slaughter. At first nothing was visible
but smoke and dust, next about two score
of chickens were raising and falling, flop-
ping and squaking. The ground was strewn
with the mangled remains of about forty
more, while the remainder of the once in-
teresting flock was making for neighboring
ranches, to avoid unotbcr earthquake. But
what of All Skoo't? Did that mass of torn
and dishevclbzd rags resemble the once fes—
tivc youth whose delight had once been to
experiment! It was he. The kind Indies
approached him, and tenderly, 011,50 tender—
ly, raising his head, they essay-ed to admin-
ister spiritual consolation from an old black
bottle. which the lady had produced. By
and by. the distorted features showed sighs
of animation, seeing which the old lady
said: “ Speak to me, Skooty! 0h, Speak
to me 1" John raised his head and gave vent
to the following: “Speakce! Wussu matter
speakce? More bluntly; too mutchy!" It is
perhaps unnecessary to add that John is
now in quest of another situation.

Six THOUSAND Tumvns.-Tbc police are
in possession of many trustworthy and
curious statistics with regard to the pur-
suits and Icgulur. or irregular “ business" of
no small portion of our city population. It
is estimated that at least six thousand’per-
sons in ,thls city—men, Women, and a lorge
number of children—get their living, and,
in a few instances, actually acquire a com-
petence, by thieving. It isu recognized pro-
fcssion, with its preparatory schools, in
which old Fagins instruct ynung Dodgers;
and it. has its grades, ranging from the bold
burglar, whose “ operation" are in bank-
vnults, plate, silks, and other valuables,
down to the sneak-thief who watches his
chance to steal an overcoat or a hat in a hall,
a restaurant or a barber‘s shop. The bond
robbers are a small and select class of ex-
perts, who have nearly the entire monopoly
of the business, and they are so well known
to the detectives that a. bond robbery can
generally be traced and the usual comprom-
ise, resulting in a. return of at least of a por-
tion of the bonds, can readily be efl'ected. At
any rate, the usual sourse in such matters
warrants this supposition. Equally, indeed
much better khown are the pickpockets who
frequent the street can, especially on the
lines of the Third, Fourth, Sixth and Eighth
avenues, and who liberally and profitably
patronize the Broadway and Fifth and Mad—

How LETTERS ARE OPEXED .um READ nv
FRANCE—A pamphlet by M. Emile Lum~
bry, an employe in Paris, gives some curious
details about the “ Cabinet Noir“ as the dc-
purtment for opening letters from suspected
persons is called in France. Letters were
opened under Charla X.and Louis Philippe,
but under the Second Empire the “ Cabinet
Noir" acquired an importance previously
unknown. The dishonorable office of head
opener of letters. was occupied by a man
named Simonel, who from M. anbry's ac-
count, seems to have been singularly well-
fitted for the post he held. At first Simonel
only stopped letters in obedience to a list sent
to him from the Prefecture of Police. These
letters were put in a bag and forwarded to
the Prefecture where they were opened and
read. Simoncl‘s way of proceeding was as
follows:
When a suspected letter fell into his bonds,
be inserted the point. of a very thin knife,
specially made for the purpose, under the
seal, then, by dint of steady pressure, and
thanks to the skill acquired by long practice,
he removed the seal whole without tearing
the envelope. The letter read, and if nec-
essuiy copied, Simone] slightly warmed the
bottom of the seal, so as to melt the wax
sufficiently to attach it again to the paper.
By this means he was enabled to defy dc.
faction. When letters were fastened with
gum or a wafer it was still easier to open
them; a few drops of hot water were all
that was necessary. Foreign mailbag:
passed through Paris were not respected
any more than letters to be delivered in
France.

CLmomo ron Lira—A young blacksmith
of Fort Stone, Arkansas, named Englebert
Shuber, not long since discovered a canoe
lodged on a drift pile in the Arkansas river,
and resolved to secure it. For this purpose
be tied two log-s together with grape vines,
and pushed out into the stream, which at
that point is very deep and rapid. About
seventy-five yards from the shore his craft
encountered one of those huge wayfaring
logs so common in western streams, and was
driven in pieces by the shock. Shuber, as
his only chance, leaped upon the slippery
log, and clung for his life. A companion
who saw him start out. went back to the
town for help, but when help arrivedit was
nearly dark and a northern hurricane had
set in, dashing the icy waves over the log
which was the young man’s only salvation,
and though his friends attempted to reach
him, every wow and flat boat which wu
put out swamped at once, and they were
obliged to leave him to the almost certain
fate of a lingering and painful death. All
that night he remained upon the iceooated
log, exposed to the gale, washed by the
waves untilho was encrusted in a solid or-
mor of ice and tumbled shout by the currents
of the river. The next. morning it was re-
ported in town that he was seen on the log
stiff in death. When they reached him, how-
ever, he was found still alive, but with his
face and limbs fear-fully frozen. He had
been eighteen hours upon the log.

HERO or AK HOUR—A friend of ours
who likes a joke, tells the following laugha-
ble incident of his travels, while on his way
home from Chicago, during the fore part of
November last. It will be recollected that
about that time there was considerable
inquiry as to the whereabouts of Brigham
Young. We print it as be related the story
to us, retaining the first person. He says:
I went to the depot in Chicago at 5 P. 1.,
without having previously secured a sleep-
ing-car ticket. Was told that the two
through Pullman cats were full. Noticed
that many others beside me desired to take
a sleeping car, and yet there was no room.
Before starting, however, we organized and
booted an extra Pullman tobe “tucked, the
conductor of which (a colored boy witks,
very small squeaky voice)wns directed to

glad tidings to the bmkesmen, who in turn

themselves in 3 similar manner, by stain;

the passengers came stringing into ourcxr,

veritable sinner—(in disguise). At length
we approached and stopped at London,
where I had fondly hoped to be relieved
from longer playing the character of such 1

ed as a lion. The news, tint Brigham

the good people took me for C. S. G.—-but
no one made or offered me a present.

Another instance of the pitcher going once
too often to the well has occurred in India.
Captain Doig, an infantry officer, had be-
come renowned as a tiger hunter, and the
fame of his exploits had even reached Eu-
rope. He was supposed to be invincible,
had performed almost fabulous feats, und
was held by the natives to bear a charmed
life. The poor gentleman was, notwith-
standing, killed by a tiger early in Septem-
ber. He went out one day and had a bril-
liant success, slaying a fine tiger singlehund-
ed. Four or five days after, news came that
another tiger was lurking in the some place,
and about six miles from the cantonment.
The new arrival at once began todistinguish
himself by slaughtering bulloti, and Cup
tnin Doig rcsolvcd to bring his sport to on
end. Unaccompanied, except by his own
“Shiknrics,” the hunter repaired to the spot.
The savage beast was soon found, and Capt.
Doig got rather a long shot at him, and felt
sure he had hit him in the head. His lm‘
pression, however, was that the tiger bod
got off into the jungle not much hurt. Ind
that he must beat again for him in a fresh
quarter. While preparing to do this, Capt.
Doig being at the moment alone, the enraged
animal suddenly leaped from cover, and in
an instant seized his foe and bore him to
the ground. Capt. Doig afterward said thnt
the onset was so swift that he never even
saw the beast until he himself was on the
ground, and being, as he expressed it,
“calmly eaten.” A hon'iblc struggle ensued.
The “ Shikaries" sprang to the rescue, and
the intrepid hunter actually fought himself
out of the tiger-'8 clutches, and not only tint
but managed to destroy him. The encoun-
ter was, nevertheless fatal. Capt. Doig had
the pluck to ride back to the automate-t.
being lifted to the saddle for that purpoue.
But he never recovered from the shock and
the frightful laceration he received, and five
days after breathed his last. For men who
get celebrated for this kind of Aching-mat
its pursuit seems to have irresistible fuel-
tion, and the and case of Capt. Doig his
many precedents
