tbe same-sixed pile of silver dollars.—
A dice box and six dice completed his
outfit. By paying 60 cents a man
had me throw with Abe dice. ,ty A he
threw six sixes he took the entire pile
of gold; if h.e threw si^aces he was
11 Ithdstfyeti Of oourse
e knew no oiie would ever throw all
tbe sixes, neither would it be possible
to geffbe aces to come all in a bunch,
sn might as well expect to be
k by lightning from a cloudleai
sky from noonday as to throw six
sees; it’s almost an impossibility,
tbaf'a »Uf, * WeP, tbe feUbW made sev
eral buodred dollars and left.”
Stopping to dntw a long breath, tbe
jeirelry man continued bis interesting
gU>ry. V ?1 tell you, yon cab humbug
anybody. I am not unlike the rest of
tbe world. I would bite at my own
iriek'e if I was in the crowd.
“While I was at Brunswick I took
revenge on the town by playing what
we term the ‘give-away racket.’ It’i
u mighty fine thiog to play, but a very
langerons one in some localities. I
bail been using a big umbrella, Lrge
enough to cover fifty people, when
one uight on the street a crowd of
sailors, led on by some of the town
boys, threw rotten eggs at the um
brella and broke up the crowd. Then
I resolved op the ‘give-away racket.’
A fellow has to be mighty careful
about working it, or he will get
caught, It epn only be played onoe
in a town. \i
‘The way to do it ia this: Get a lot
of flue gold rings, which coBtabout $1
a dozen, and propose to be advertising
some big gold concern in New York.
I called mine the ‘brazed gblii of Ban*
Francisco,’ stating that I wonld soon
sbo«f tV» crowd ktyoji or two, and
soon some of them got interested.—
First, I j made * speech in which ,4
stated my business, them I oommeifc-
e.l offering the rings at any price from
iwlo t ents up. telling them that they
conlil not lie bought for less than $4
each at any jeweler's. I lst£dt about
twenty rings kt two cents, and then
.naked everybody who had bought one
h,‘,l'd it up.' Distantly everything
. >V as iti tlie air. ‘Now,’ said I, address
ing goods for my bouse, and Imd
plenty more things to give away.—
Next I took up adme of my handsome
diamond studs, which I explained
were Lake George diamonds, equal to
any on forth, etc.', and that I was go
ing to sell them from 26 cents up, the
more one paid the better it would he,-
of course for him. Twenty studs were
soon out, and the some speech made.
Then I made the crowd hold up the
diamonds, and each man who hod
bought got fifty cents back.
‘‘The thing began to be very inter
esting, and the crowd numbered 300
or 400. Then I got out some beauti
ful gold-plated s'eeve-buttons, which
I explained coilld not lie bought for
less than $12. These I proposed to
sell for fifty cents each, giving to nl^
who bought a dollar additional as be
fore, each. time, doubling tbe money
gift. The buttons soon went off, and
the-other tbiugs, and I was ready for
the final ‘bite’ at ’the^crowd. The 20
pairs of sleeve buttons.had been sold
fur 60 cents each, and J bad given
back twenty silver dollars. ‘That fel
low is a fool,’ I heard all about me,
but I replied to this by saying that
last week, in Macon, I had given
away $1,600, and that I was ready to
do it again. •. •• -.i <> a is
“The orowd was perfectly crazy to
see what came next. It was watch
chaiqs. Tbe chains I was to Soil at
any price from $2.60 to anything
above that anyone wanted to give, I
telling them the while that the more
they paid’ the better.it would be for
them. I hinted that the wacbes would
come next, and this let them off like a
lot of madmen. The v trick now was
to sell as many ohains as possible at
$2.65. I had an awfnl lot of chains,
and I sent them out right, and left—
Tbe dollars came rushing blindly at
me, and I raked them in like chaff.—
Tbeu I got out of chains.
'Previously I had prepared two big
red silk handkerchiefs, exactly alike,
and os soon as the chains were all
sold I took the money, and, in pres
ence, tied it all up together, and, after
making a speech, proposed to throw
the bundle into the crowd for the best
man to take. While talking I pur
posely dropped tbe bundle into my
box by my side, in whiob was the oth
er handkerchief. In this was $10 io
silver * and some paper to make it
stand out like tbe one I bad dropped
All this bad lieen arranged before
hand, of coarse. With a whoop I
swung tbe bag around my bead, after
stooping to piek it up where I first
dropped if, end up it went into the
air. Gije^ heavens, yon should have
seen the mobT -1 ne’er saw anything
like it. They) fodght like tigers over
tbe handkerchief, while I took ocCtk u
siou vo leave the spot. I bad also ar
ranged to briog things to a crisis
about the time the Albany train left;
so I was driven at once to the depot.
1 was jusi $280 ahead. But I got very
weak in the knees white waiting at,
the depot. I was a little too soon,
and about a dozeu young men ran up;
raising the very mischief of a noise,
which I thought was for me, aiuf A
proved to be ti ue. They saw ine and
came around me,-lnnRfrtngxTtd knock
ing each other likfi i'fe'rtsiy' iadti. 1 ( I
didn’t know: what on earth was tbe
matter, until they finally told me that
it was the best joke that hnd ever
been played on Brnuswick, and, al
though they had been victimized,
tliey wauled to assure me it was all
right. ,
“I had Hold the chains to nearly all
the host men in Brunswick, some of
it down for a fact that any average
American crowd can be humbugged
tbe same way every day in tbe year.”

Almost Anybody dan bo Poor.

[Tbs msMsIitoc thU bohuan will It* rinilebed

diet chunker tbla dty—Ec.)
An exohange, in order to eucourage
every young man struggling under
discouragement and poverty, recites
the historical facts that President
John Adams, Andrew Jackson, James
K. Polk, Millard Fillmore, James Bu
chanan, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
Johnson were all offsprings of poor;
humble parents.
Tbe list is very good as far ns it
goes, but it enu be extended almost
indefinitely.
Captain Kirld, whose reputation as
a pirate is second to none, was a poor
boy. His parents were in-bnrable cir-
mmstances that he was obliged to:
steal from perfect strangers the mon-'
oy with which to buy dime novels, and
yet, see what he accomplished.
Jesse Jsipee, tvho might be Govern
or of Missouri bdt for bis ^untimely
decease, was a poor boy. He was so
poor that be bad to borrow the pistol
with which I to 1 shoot au obnoxious
school teaoher-who gave him impu
dence. ,\uir i : ’>
Dorsey had; a hard 1 struggle -in life,
but by perseverance; and having re
duced plunder to a system, be has ac->
quired so much. Wealth'that as a Star
Router be ean ret tbe United States
at defiance.
Jay Gould used to shine bis owU
boots, but now he takes tbe shine off
nil tbe other millionaires. ’ 1
Oliver Cromwell bad to borrow bid
brother’s pants when he, Oliver, went
to balle and parties.
We might go on and cite any num
ber of men who 4ave climbed tbe lad*
der of fame whose pants needed re
pairs when they began to climb at the
lowest rounds of tbe ladder. There
is no trouble in being poor. Almost
anybody can be poor, partioalarly if
they have some assistance from their
parents in early Ufa
Postmaster-General Howe propos
es to furnish the people stamped en
velopes instead of postage stamps for
three cents, on tbe ground that tbe
increased certainty that mail matter
will be stamped will reduce tbe ex
pense of tbe dead letter office nearly
enough to pay for the envelopes.—
That is not a bad idea, if the fact of
saving is well established. Moreover
that wonld tend to do away with tbe
champion idiocy of the department in
its present rule that an unstamped
letter must be held for postage while
tbe poetmsetoy'Oonsalts tbe addressed
by postal card and advises him to re
mit In tl|e mean tiiae tbe corres
pondence ie deliyed and probably
rendered fruitless by this utterly fool
ish display of red tape. It there is
any reasob for giving 'away stamped
envelopes, it is in the stupidity of the
post office rules rather than of the
r , .(J 11V/ r
people.

A correspondent, sends us tbe fol

“If God does not punish men for

that be notices sin?
“But if God panishea wap.for all

With all the ebbs and Hows of pub*

progress is being made with reference
