THE DUTCH MERCHANT.
nr cnntBTABEii nosr .
On the evening of the 20th of January ,
1705 , the city of Amsterdam WM thrown
Into unusual buitlo and confusion by the
entrance of the French array under
Pichcgrn. Whllo tbo troops with stacked
arms awaited tholr billets and rations ,
tbo citizens hastened to illuminate in
her or of tholr arrival , nnd In aplto of the
piorclng cold , thronged to welcome the
Tttrocs.
Amid the general rejoicings , ono house
alone remained with closed doors nnd
darkened windows. It was tbo dwelling
of the wealthy merchant , Wordon , who
wholly occupied in business , cared little
for politics , still loss for the arrival of the
French , and was far too careful of his
money to waato it In Illuminating like his
neighbors. Wrapped in hit far dressing
gown , a sealskin cap drawn closely over
the few gray hairs that tlmo had loft
upon his head , ho bad wheeled his easy
chair close to the ohtmnoynnd ho rubncd
his hand over the bright ooal fire Booming
lost in a rovorlo from which neither the
beer nor the long clay pipe on the table
had power to reuse him.
Alljit once the'sllenco was broken by a
violent ring at the doorbell. The old
man started , nnd turned to a stout , rod-
chtckcd eorvant , who , seated at a respect
ful distance , was occupying herself in
knitting a stocking.
"See who it Is , Jaquollno , " eatd he ,
"that comes to disturb us at this unseasonable
enable hour. "
Iu a few minutes n tall young man entered -
tored , and throwing off hlsclouu , saluted
the old man as father.
"Hal is it you , Wllhnlm ? I did not
expect you backs.scon. . "
'I have just returned from Broeck ? "
replied the ether , "and should have ar
rived long ago , had not the road boon so
encumbered with troops and other
idlers. "
"Havo you seen Van Elborg ? "
"Yes , " answered the young m n , tak
ing his seat by the fire , "and ho consents
to my union with his daughter , but re
fuses to glvo moro than iour thousand
ducats for her dowry. "
' 'Then ho may keep both ducata and
daughter , " eald the morcbant angrily.
"Rut consider , father "
"Consider what ! " Interrupted Wor-
den , "There Is nothing to consider. I
know that nt your ago love outweighs
gold , but time will teach yon that when
poverty comes in at the dear love files
through the window. "
"But. father , " argued the yonng man ,
"Vtn Elberg is one cf the richest mon
in the country , and sooner or liter his
daughter must have all his fortune. "
"Tut , tutl" said Wordon , "Van Elberg
knows well what he la about , but cunning
as ho is , he shall not put a bid bargain on
me. As for you , Wilhelm , i have prom
ised to glvo you up my business , and I
now recommend your taking a word of
advice with it : never glvo moro than you
receive , and always consider 'your tran
sactions. Rely on ir , that is the only
way to prosper in business as well as in
lovo. And now wo will drop tbo sub
ject. "
The yonng man know his father's hu
mor too well to press the matter further ,
at least at that moment. As ho sat
brooding over his disappointment the bell
rang and the tiead of a horse's feet waa
heard In the courtyard , while the witch-
dog commenced a furious barking.
' It Is certainly a stranger this time , "
Biid Mynhoor Worden. "There's no
mistake in the dog's bark. "
He was interrupted by the servant
bringing in a package.
"Commissariat department ! " said her
master , with no little surprise , as he
opined it ; but on expression of uneasi
ness , which had at first slightly contract
ed his features , changed into one of pleas
ure as ho read on : "An order to deliver
400,000 herring for the usn of the French
array , " ho continued ; "a very acceptable
commission. Wilholm , you shall marry
Van Elberg's daughter and ho shall glvo
her a handsome dowry In spite of him
self. "
,
"How eay you , my dear father ? " re
plied the eon , unable to believe his senaon
at this unexpected transition.
"Leave that to tno , Wilhelm , " said t
Worden. "Order our horses to bo sadi
died at daybreak , and mind that I am
called in tlmo , for wo must bo at Broook
before 12 o'clock. And now , good
nlphr , "
The rielcg sun saw our travelers on the
road to that calobrated village , where t
lcanllness Is carried to euoh an extent
hat before entering the streets both :
ather and son , in compliance with an in
variable custom , were obliged to dls- >
nonnt and leave their horses in the care
f a servant. At the door of Van El-
lerg's hence they were required to do
That , a few yearq later , neither Napoleon
lor the En per or Aloxendor wore ox
rnipted from , and taking off their boots ,
oplaced them with sllppora before they
vero allowed to enter the room where heat
at with his daughter Olothildo ,
"Good mornlrg , Mynheer Worden , "
aid he , as ha shook hands warmly with
rlond. "Havo yon been frightened out
if your good city by the French that
'ou honor mo so early with a friendly
"Not at all , Von Elborg , " said the
ither. "I care nothing about the
French , and as I never meddle in poll-
ICB , It la quite Immaterial to mo who
ovorus our town. But I came to make
'ou a proposal , I have undertaken to
urnlsh the commissariat fonr hundred
houaand herring on this day month , and
wish to know if it wou'd bo convenient 0 ,
or you to procure thorn for mo In three
reeks ) "
At what price ) " asked his friend.
"Ten guilders per thousand. "
'Ten guilders , " repeated the other.
'You shall have them. "
"Draw out tha contract , then , " said
ot [
/orden , "and when it la signed 1 shall otw ,
3 hippy to partake of your hospitality ,
r my ride has given me aa appetite. "
hen turning to Olothildo , ho continued ,
I have coma to arrange another matter ,
W (
10 , which we can discuss after dinner. "
ar
It was In rain that , during the eve-
Ing , Worden trloi every way to change ncWf >
Is fciend's resolution recnectlng bis
kughter'tf fortune. After a' long dls-
isilon ho was obliged to giro up the th
lnt , and the manhge was at length lai
ced to take the
place following week.
nlj
Next day , when Wilholm and his
ther returned home , the former could
wi
it refrain from expressing some cur- hit
Aio concerning the cause of this change
hto prospects. pai
"What do you mean1 ' he csked his arc
by
.her. "Have ion not given up the
sin
int about his daughter's fortune ) "
tlu
"I h ald havB thought you knew mo 3
tter , " replied Worden , looking elily at I
Boil. "But no matter ; It IB ruifllclontl
it jou niarr ) ' the girl you like. " | kue
Dcco more at home the merchant shut IMI !
usalf In hia ofllce until evening , when hflr
reappeared with a packet of letter * , rail nil ! , ,
loh wera luitncdlaibly posted.
} n the day sppolutoa let the marriage
Wllhelm and his father arrived nt
Broock , whcra they foond n large parly
of friends and relatives assemble to meet
them. Van Elbor/j / welcomed thorn cor
dially , but there was no expression of
cato and embarrassment un his face that
made the bridegroom fear new obstacles
to his happiness. The elder Warden ,
however , In no way shared his son's
anxiety , for ho conld glvo a tolerably
good guess at the cauio of his holt's un
easiness.
"Mynheer Van Elbcrg , " ho exclaimed ,
"irhat can bo tbo mattetl Are yon un
well ? "
"No , no , my dear frlond , " replied the
ether , "not nnwell , but in the most un
pleasant dilemma possible. I wonld wish
to speak with yon immediately In ptl
vato. "
"Is It anything roapoatlng the mar-
rlogil" asked Wordon. "If yau wish to
bo off yonr word there is otllltlmc. "
"Not for the world. "
"In that case wo will proceed at once
to the church. You know that I like to
do things rfgnUrly , and as I came here
to see my son mariiod , wo will finish that
bnstnets first and the a I shall bo happy
to hoar what you have to any. "
There wan no remedy , and It was not
antll after the happy couple had been
made hnsband and nlfo that Van Elborp
conld succeed in catching his friend
alono.
"I am bound to deliver to you 400,000
botrlng In fourteen days , " sold ho , "and
not a alnglo fish can I got at any price. "
Wordeu could not restrain his laughter.
"I dare say not , " ho replied. I bjught
them up long ago. "
"In that case , of conrae , the contract
is at an end , " a ld Van Elborg , looking
doubtfully at his friend ,
"By no means or , at Joast , only on
certain condition * . Wo have this day
united our children , Van Elbcrg , nnd
shall leave them a fortune when wo dlo.
But as regards the present , matters are
less fairly arranged. My son received a
capital business , whllo you only gave
your daughter 4,000 duenti. Now'as I
did not like to make thorn unhappy by
refusing my consent to their marriage , I
thought you and I would settle tha mat
ter another way. You nro to deliver
400,000 herring at 10 guilders per thou
sand ; yon can gat thorn from no one but
mo , and I must have 50 guilders per
thousand or I do not part with a single
tail. The difference is 16,000 guilders ,
which I intend to pay my son as his wife's
just dowry. "
Van Elborg looked rnthor foolish dur
ing this explanation , but at the end re
gained his self-possession , and oven
smiled as ho said , clapping him on the
back :
"You'vo outwitted me , Mynheer Wor
den , and I must pay the penalty , so say
no moro about it. And now let us join
our friends. "
Eight days aftorwsrd Van Elborg went
to visit his daughter at Amsterdam , and
in his tutn found Worden In the greatest
perplexity.
"You are the very parson I wanted , "
said ho , sizing his hand. "Unless you
can assist ma 1 am a ruined man. The
herrings are all ready , but high or low
not a barrel la to bo found. "
Van Elbsrg's little gray eves twinkled
cunningly.
"Every man forhlmsolf , Wordon. You
bought the nth and I bought the barrels.
Bat as old friends , 1 won't take advan
tage of you , and yon shall have as many
as yon want for exactly 16,000 guilders
above the csat. "
Wordon looked rather blank , but did
bis best to conceal his vexation.
"Tho trick is not a b d ono , " said he
with a forced smile , "but you must con-
fees I taught it you. "
"Ay , ay , " returned the othor. "You
are clever fellows at Amsterdam , but we
are not all fools at Broeck. "

two weeks the neighborhood known as
Poesum Bend , on tno Missouri rlvorsov-
3n mllcasouthof this city , has baen in a
favor of oxcltomont over the doings of a
; host.
The scene of his visitations is a solid

cloeo roof.
The ghost makes It exceedingly lively
or Henry Wlhon and family , who are at
ircssnt occupying the honso. The ghost '
r spirit , or what over It la , is quite mus
suhr. A few nlfrht'a since , after Mr. and
Urs , Wilson hjd retired and were gently
Iroppinc ; into the arms of Morpheus , a
lolto was hoard under the bed , and the
text moment the worthy couple were
brown out on the floor wllli the bedstead
ind bedding on top of them. The lamp
ras lighted and a search of the room was
nado , but nothing was discovered.
Righting up the bed and again retiring
hey were startled by an unearthly
cro m , blood-curdling and oar-splitting ,
11 the furniture in the room at tno same
Ime dancing a jig. A light was again
irocurod , bat as before nothing was dls-
ovetod.
The next night Mr. Wilson was awak-
noi by being struck In tbo face "by wet
nd heavy corncakoa. Becoming atcl
larmed at these nightly manifestations clat

3 watch for tbo spook. But this only B <
semed to anger the uncanny visitor , and th
videncea of his displeasure were dle- BO
layed in many and strange freaks. re
Mr , of the v ]
Stlgall , one young men
ailed In , was given a resounding slap on he
10 fsoj , and which caused the tears to to i
ow and made a whole firmament of stars re
unco before his oyes. Mr. Gaston , the M
her yonng man , was struck In the face ha
1th wet clods and thrown across a table fa !
id given other evidence that the ghost lei
OB amply able to take care of himcolf. In
Maniacal screams were heard , doors all

How PoBtal-Cards Are Made ,
Up to Friday last , Woolworth & Gra
ham , of Odstleton , N. Y. , who have the
contract for supplying the government ,
with postal-cards , haa only turned out
659,000 , while the demand averages
1,000,000 a day. The contractors eay
they will got up to tbat mark this week ,
however , and hope to supply all that are
wanted iu a very short time. The now
cards are composed of 25 per cent wood
pulp and 75 per cent One rags. The
paper from which the cards are made is
manufactured In a mill owned and oper
ated by the contractors , adjoining the
postal-card vtorks. The raw material
can be converted into postal-cards In
about twelve hourj. About ISO
persons , mostly women r > nd
jlrls , are employed in the mllli ,
and an average of between 1,000,000 and
1,000,000 postal rarJs are turned out
laily. These are bunched into packigos

machinery from the sheets containing
'orty cards each. The llttlo paper binds

JUSTICE IN PBUSI.1.
Punishment * Indicted on the 8nb-
j utH nt the KliiR of
St. James' Gazotto.
The judicial punishment of Portia cer
tainly seems very craol , but the most enlightened -
lightened raters cf the country insUt that
they are not vindictive ; they sra simply
deterrent. The late lllsiam u-Sultanoh ,
undo of the king , was ono of the most
sevcro of provincial governors ; yet , as
ho himself triumphantly pointed out to
me , ho shod less blood , first ani lastthnn ,
his rlv l , whllo the provinces under his
government were remarkably free from
crimes of violence , "I , " ho remarked ,
take iho great criminal red-handed , ana
I pnnUh him In such a wy that his pun
ishment will not bo forgotten and that
his fate will bo n terror to evil-doors.
Uuliko you Europeans , I don't ' shut the
man up fur years ; I have no grndgo ; my
punishments are policy , I commanoad
my governorship by oovoro measures
toward criminal * , to lot them know whom
they have to dual with. It Is true I then
mercilessly execute some of them ; bat
there are no moro crimes of violence
daring my tennro of oflioo , no more un-
sifo roads , no burglaries. Murder *
mostly unpremeditated mutdors there
certainly are , as there will bo In all coun
tries ; 1 execute these mon lu a simple
way. So do Europeans. " These are
the Idcaa of a great Persian statesman.
The result In Persia Is undoubtedly what
the Hlsaam stated ; The pro\-lnoa is
quiet , criminals ore afraid , honest mon
are safe.
The ordinary punishments era the
bastinado , fines , Imprisonment ( simple
confinement ) imprisonment in irons ( the
chain-gang ) , maiming , death. The baa-
tinndo ia administered upon the bare solos
of the fcot. Save by the king's express
order it is never nowadays carried to a
fatal Issue , iu twenty years I never hoard
of a fatal biatlnc ; . Tno ordinary appli
cation of tlio bastinado means what wo
should term a "gaod hiding" nothing
more. In the eyes of a Persian lliero is
nothing degrading la having "oaten
stick. " Witnln the last ten yoara the
Mnachir-ul-Molk , the then wealthiest
man in Fsrs , ( the richest province iu
Persia ) , was severely bastinadoed ; ho
was over seventy years of ago , The bas
tinado ia usually administered to all small
delinquents who are not fined. It la tha
pnnlsnmoutof peccadilloes. The accom
plices of criminals are usually bastina
deed to obtain confession Criminals of
the minor class are generally bastlna-
deed and discharged. The stlckn used ,
ara not , aa in Turkey , heavy batons , but
sticks tapering to a pcint. The bsst
criterion of the real Vilua of bastinadoIng -
Ing may bo atrlved at from the reply of
a soldier who , when I asked him which ho
would prefer , an ordinary beating on his
eat such aa was being given to one of
his fullowe , or Iho loss of a month's pay ,
answered : "Why , the boating , of
couraa. " Criminals , whoa offered the
choke of a line or the bastinado , always
choose the latter. It must bo remem
bered that the lower classes lu Porsln
walk much barefoot nud that their feet
are hard. Of course , to a European a
bastinadoing would bo a terrible punish
ment. Mlrzk Abdul Wnbab Khan , late
physician to H. K. H. Zil-cs-Sultan , told
me that ho had seen 2,000 sticks fairly
broken over ihe feet of a criminal jay
(3,000 blown. This was done by tha shah'd
farrashes ; the man survived. Fines vary
according to the position cf the person
Quod or the rapacity of the finer. Simple
Imprisonment is dealt out to those wuo
ire guilty of robbery or misdemeanor or
the greater crime of not paying their
taxes. Imprisonment in a chain-gang , or
mprlsonment in iron ? , Is reserved for
; rimes of violence , burglary , coin-
ng , or theft from the person.
Maiming is resorted to for thieves
from shops , cat-purees and horao and
: attlo Btoalors. As a rule a single
olnt of tbo finger is cut off for the first
jll'ensu , tha hand for a second ; or the
irlmlnal is lamed by removing a portion
if the tondo Achlllis. Blinding of ono
r both oyoa Is now a rare punishment.
Sometimes the oars are cut oiF or the
lese slit , and the criminal is led through
hobaziar by the executioner. ( It may
> o mentioned that at every execution the
executioner levies , as a right , a foe of a
ow coppars from each merchant and
bopkeepor. ) ] Amputation of the tongue
ias not occurred within my knowledge
luring the last twenty years. S trance to
ay , in such oiaos the eulfdror gradually

? tie objection to surgical amputation in
bo oitst generally , and especially In
'ortia , arises , from the terrible loss of
jste to those who are maimed ju-
( daily.
Death painless and instantaneous Is
sually Inflicted by throat-cutting. The
Imply puulshmout of death la mostly
xecutod on murderers , robbers , and
iioeo guilty of crimes of vlobnao , aud ou
lie sectaries of the Baub ; it is oho the
cnaliy tot high treason. In eoma caeca
ten of high rank , condemned for the
ittar crime , are cither poisoned or
irangleU. In my time , Zohrab Khan ,
ho oould not p y his ravonuo to the
own and therefore revolted , had hla
iroat cut in Shlraz. Ho had sutrjn- '
erod upon a aworn promise that hla life
