BOLD BENJAMIN BRAIIIM , How Ho Swindled the Pawnlroker Oat of a Gold Watch , And Caused Him to bo Whipped nnd Fined Tor hying and Kobbory. Mohammed Ben Brahlm vras a private of tlio 8d regiment of Tnrcos , Arab 5n- lantry , in the French service. Ho was tall and raw-boned , fearing nothing , be- Moving but lllllo in Moliammed , the prophet , and not at all in Allah. Ho drank wino and ate pork , two things held in abomination by the Mohamme dans ; ho swore in bad Arab and worse French ) in fact , ho was the most perfect blackguard in the whole body of Tttrcos , which was 10,000 strong , and that is say ing a good deal. Ben lirahlm lived happy and contented until ono daj' , whllo pitssing before the bric-a-brao pawn office and dry goods shop of YnssufT , the richest Jew of Oran , ho saw hanging In the window some gold watches. Then liis happiness was gone , for ono thought invaded his mind so comolotely that twenty times a day ho exclaimed loudly : "By the pronhut's beard , I must liavo onot" And by the prophet's beard , ho got one , too , and this is how it came about. Mohammed Bon Brnhlm had a cousin , a licutunnnt in tlio same regiment , nnd ho wont to him anil tola him a story about his mother being sick and needy , and the lieutenant , who loved his aunt , jjnvo him 13 francs , with the recom mendation to use them well a thing that the Turco did , much to the sorrow of Yussuu" , in whoso shop ho appeared five minntes lator. YnssulF was alone , and , seeing the Turco entering his stores , ho arose to meet him not through deference - enco for the caller , but from a knowl edge that the Turcos are the greatest prowlers of Africa. "I salute you , Rabbi YussufT , " said Mohammed , touching his fez. "I salute Turco " YussulY you , , replied , , "what do ' ' politely you want ? " [ came to pay you 12 francs for the 7 yon loaned mo a fortnight ago , " an swered the Turco. "Did 1 loan you money ? I do not recollect to Imvo seen you bisfore ? " "You don't ? Well , then , you were more drunk than I was when I borrowed the money from you. But no matter. 1 owe you 12 francs , and there they are. " Then the Turco put 13 francs in the other's ' hand. YussufT took it jusl as an Arab p'riest entered the shop. YussuIYsaluted the new-comer with the greatest respect , as ho was ono of his best customers , and said : "Will you allow mo to present this Turco to you as one of the few honest men wo have in this town ? " Tlio Arab looked with astonishment on the pair. "Well , well ! " thought ho , "what are wo coming to , if a Turco turns to bo as honest as to be praised byYussuil' ? " Then he asked : "May I inquire what this Turco has done to deserve your commendations , Yussull' ? ' ' "I loaned him 13 francs , and I forgot all about it. Many would have taken advantage of my lack of memory , but ho did not , but bo has paid mo like an hon est man that he is. " "My friend , " said the Arab to the Turko , "will you favor mo with your company to my house ? " Mohammed Ben Brahiin answered that as soon as Uabbi Yussull' had returned his pledge , he would follow him. "A pledge ! " cried YussufT , turning pale. "You have given mo uono. " "What ! " replied the Turco , indignant ly , "that gold watch there is mine. " And Mohammed pointed to a watch worth about § 00. "That watch was bought by mo from a chief now dead ! " yelled Ynssuu" . "YifsufF , " interposed the Turko , "it seems to me that this chief died very con veniently for you. Will you give mo my watch ? " "No , " answered Ynsjitfi" . "All right , sir. I will have you ar rested on the spot , " and , opening the door , Mohammed went into the street calling for the police. In a minute two of those worthies made thuir appeaoanec and inquired the cause of the uproar. "Arrest that man. " said the Turco , pointing to Yussull' ; "ho robbed mo. " The police took YussufTby the throat , and the whole party left the store to go to the judge. In Africa the judge's court house consists of a piece of carpet two yai'ds snuaro thown on the pavement in the market place , where the juilpo sits surrounded by the police , who make arrests and bastinado the culprits at the judge's command. It is justice in its primitive- state administered on the rapid transit plan. "What is the matter ? " inquired the Arab magistrate. "Your wisdom , this man has robbed that Turco. " replied the other. "Turco. how did the thing happen ? " inquired the judge. "Your wisdom , this man loaned mo 7 francs on my gold watch. I returned him his money , together with G francs as interest , and now lie refuses to give mo my watch. " "How did you get a gold watch ? " "Your wisdom , it is a present from my dying father. " "Did any ono see you paying the money ? " "Your wisdom , this holy Arab was present. " "Arab , is it true what the Turco is say ing ? " "Your Wisdom , ho lias spokqn the truth , " replied the Arab. "Ynsson" intro duced the complainant to mo with the re mark that he was one of the few honest men wo Imvo in this town. " "Yussull' , do you deny the accusation made against you ? " "Your Wisdom. I do deny it. " "IJid you take 13 francs from the com plainant ? " "Your Wisdom , I did. " "For what ? " "Because I loaned it to him. " "Without any pledge ? " "Yes , your wisdom , without any pledge. " "Omccrs , go to YnssufPs house and bring here all the gold watches ho has , " said the judge. The olhcora wont and soon returned , bringing about thirty gold watches , whioh tho.v bpread before tlio judge. "Look iiml see if your timo-piooo is there , " said the magistrate to tlio Tureo. The cunning Turco advanced , ami without any hesitation took , not the bust , but the third from the best. The jiul o , who had eyed shraply the action of the Turco , seeing him discard' jng the costliest watch to take another interior In value , felt convinced of the justice of his claim to the object of his se lection. Ho said to him : "Take it nnd go. Homeinbor , that u present from a dying father is u nacrcd thing , not to bo polluted by the Hands of this money lender , who is a thief , a usurer , and a liar. ( Jo ! " Mohammed lien Braliim did not wait for a second invitation 10 take what did not belong to him ; ho bowed low to the judge , kissed tlio Arab on the shoulder nuu departed. Then the jungo said to YussulV ; " 1-or lying to mo , for exacting usurious rates of interest , for trying to rob a poor soldier of a sacred memento , from a bo loved father , you shall get fifty strokes on the soles of your fout : nnd if in two hour * you have not paid JfS'W line , you shall got 100 more , Uniccra , execute the ecntenco , " Kvcrybudy applauded the justicu of the judge's decision * iJo , I am mistaken , not all. There was ono who did not. Can you guess who ? * TWO GREAT GENERALS. Early Friendship llctwcon Grnnt nnd Itnncock , nnd Their Falling Out. ( Jen. Badcau , writing to the Philadel phia Press , says : Hancock and Grant were nt Wct Point together. They wore good friends there , nnd Hancock used to call his future chief by tlio familiar nick name of "Sam Grant. " Ixjnor afterward , during the Wilderness campaign it was the day after the great attack at Spott- sylvaiiia , when Hancock reported : "I have finished up Johnston nnd am now going into Early. " Grant nominated llancock for brigadier-general in the regular arm y. Hancock remembered the old relationship of the cadet time , and said to tlio brother-in-law of the general- in-chief , who told him the uows : "I love Sam Grant. " Tlio regard was mutual. At'otio moment - mont in the battle of the Wilderness things looked very dark. Warren was driven back at the center , and a rush of stragglers came hurrying in low-mi Grant's headquarters with tie ( news that Hancock was routed. Grant was seated on the ground whittling a stick ) ho sim ply turned the stick around and whittled the other and ; and when it was reported that llancock had boon driven ho said grimly : "I don't believe it. " In a few moments word came directly contrary to the earlier rumor. Instead of retreating Hancock had pushed tlio enemy. Then Grant looked up and said with as much enthusiasm asl ever know him to betray : "Hancock's a glorious soldier. " He never changed his opinion. Han cock was nlwnysjgiven the advance or the exposed position. Hoboro the bruntof the battle of the Wilderness ; lie made three terrible assaults at Spottsylvanla ; ho led the march to the North Anna ; ho was in tlio thickest at Cold Harbor. His troops were the first of the Army of the Potomac to come up fore Petersburg and in the subsequent movements on both sides of the James , : \t Deep Botlom , and at the explosion of Burnsido's mine al ways , until the opening of the old wound compelled him to leave the Hold , Han cock was given the command which re quired the most superb daring , the clear est head , the most sustained military ability. Moro than once I heard General Grant say that if Meade wore removed ho should give the command of the Army of the Potomac to Hancock. In the march from Cold Harbor to the James , Grant's headquarters came up with Hancock at the point whcro Long B rid go had once crossed the Chickahonu- ny. While the troops wcro passing the commanders dismounted , and Grant , Hancock and Mcaile were sketched on the grass together with their ollicers a-'ound. Never wore three great soldiers more in complete personal accord. There was no assumption on the part of Grant , and the feeling of camaraderie was per fect. They dialled each other ; they told stories of West Point and the frontier ; they discussed the movement in which they wore engaged ; and finally Meade referred to some resolutions of a Penn sylvania convention nominating Hancock for the presidency. Both Grant and Meade poked fun at Hancock for _ this , and ho peed nntnrcdly received it all. indeed , it rather tickled him. Ho was not appointed a bricadjcr in tlio regular army for Sppttsylvania , but Grant was persistent and in August nom inated him again. This time the promo tion was coiilerrcd. In 1800 the grade of general was ere- a ed for Grant. This mndo Sherman lieutenant general and loft a vacancy among the major generals , to which Grant promptly appointed Hancock , who thus received both of his promotions to the rank of general from his old cadet comrade. During the reconstruction period they were on different sides. Grant believed that congress was right in the Ions strug gle with Andrew Johnson , but Hancock espoused the cause of the president. Grant at first had no suspicion of the loaning of Hancock , and when it became apparent that Mr. Johnson was determ ined to remove Sheridan from coinnrmd at New Orleans and substitute Hancock , the genoral-in-chicf sent a staff olliccr to warn him of the purpose of the president and what ho considered its mischievous tendency. Hancock , however , was ordered by Johnson to report at Washington before ho went to New Or leans , and Grant , who was now convinced that Johnson 'H course was full of dan ger to the country , went in person to visit Hancock at his rooms in Willard's hotel to put him on his guard. But Han cock had already determined on his con duct , and was not to bo affected by Grant's ' advice or urging. From this time their relations wore strained , llancock proceeded to Now Orleans against the wish of Grant , de termined to carry out Air. Johnson's policy , which hisgeuoral-iu-ehief Imlioved to bo almost treasonable , and which ho was directed by congress to thwart , llan cock constantly issued orders in conform ity with the views of the president , which Grant as constantly overruled. Finally Hancock asked to bo relieved and the re quest was granted. They never again had any pleasant in tercourse. There wcro times \vhon _ each supposed the other had been discour teous. Grant was told that Hancock came to his headquarters , and wrote his name without payinghis general in chief the courtesy of a further visit , and re marks of each were repeated to the ethernet not calculated to encourage amiable sen timents. But there was no positive hos tility. tility.When When Hancock was nominated for the presidency Grant , in the privacy of his own house at Galena , uttered some caus tic criticisms to an indiscreet visitor , which the same day wore telegraphed to the entire world. Among the other things that ho said was that Hancock was "ambitious , vain and weak. " Hancock at first refused to believe thai Grant had used the words ; but , though they wore never meant for the public , Grant could not and would not disavow them when the reporters rushed for confirmation or denial. Then Hancock was very much pained , and 1 doubt whether a reconclla- tion could over have been affected. In his hist days Gen , Grant moro than once spoke to mo about this eircum- stance , and regretted the pain ho had given Hancock. Ho was generous in his praise , and though ho criticised what ho thought foibles and graver faults , ho de clared that ho ought not to have used tlio words whloh Hancock disliked. This H.incook never know ; but with equal nobility ho bore his part in the great funeral over his ancient chief and coin. nulo. The majestic character of those rites that attracted the attention of the world was greatly duo to the tender care and chivalrous punctilio of him oven though the dead chieftain had wounded him. him.Tho The two soldiers have fought their last Jteht and ended every difference.

Amusing Scrambles ror the Exclusive lllRlit to Use llnrlicr-Shnp , Sa loon And Store "Windows. Philadelphia Kccord : A dainty little show-bill , in Iho center of which was a capital portrait 6f Modjcskn , nnd of the si/.o so often sccti in the windows of sa loons , harbor shops , small stores and cer tain of the big Chestnut street establish ments , lay on the table in the oflico of a manager of a city theater , and furnished the text for an interesting chat on tlio subject of theatrical advertising by means of the lithographs now so popular with dramatic stars and combination compa nies. "Tho public would bo surprised , " re marked the manager , "to know to what extent this branch of the business is carried. 1 have four men cmuloycd who do nothing but distribute lithographs among the saloon ? and shops , nnd they are entirely separate from the billposting ing department. These four men cover about thirty routes each Monday and Tuesday , and visit nearly 1,500 separate places , where they leave anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 lithographs advertising the show that will be given at this house on tlio following week. Of course , if an at traction is baled for more than one week only ono vi.Mt is made. The lithographs arc supplied by the manager of the star or company , and they , as a rule , send me word now many wo may look for , and then the lithographs either come on by express from the city where the attraction then is , or just as often from the estab lishment in some distant city where they are printed , for it is a common thing for the best known theatrical printing linns to take n contract for ! ? 10,000 worth of 'paper , ' get the route of the show and the number of pictures need for each city or town , and then send them direct to the theatre n week or ten days bctore the company arrives. "When the men take the pictures out they very often give the proprietors of tlio saloons or other places a ticket for the show whioh is oulv good on the first night and calls for a eat in the balcony. The average number of tickets for the first night will be S30 , for in hundreds of cases lliu peep le are giail to get tlio portraits traits of the actors and actresses , and many of the more costly ones are worth a frame , and form an attraction on the walls of the .saloon or barber shop. They are never called for , and so in the course of a year or two a man gets quite a col lection of theatrical scenes and celebri ties. As for Philadelphia , it is the best place to 'lithogL'ftph' in the country , and takes far more Ulan any other city. It takes clever men to do the trick correct ly , and good'ones are very hard to get. as a man inu j ; 'I ' ) } ) thoroughly popular all along his route , keep an eye on the licen ses issued to now saloons , watoh out lor empty shops , the windows of which couhfbo iitihzodiimd , if possible , got the monopoly of desirable places. The heav iest routes , are of course , those thorough fares that serve as great arteries of travel to the people who like bright pictures and are fondtof { poking in the windows , and so Hidgc , Girard and Passyunk avenues , Secpiul , street , South street and others of that class are the best to keep liberally suV > pIibd. When wo receive a largo btippiy of 'napor' the men distrib ute it as farmns ) "rankford , Hiehmond , Germantown , "Rlanayunk and the out skirts of West "Philadelphia , and some times even go over to Cnmdcn. One of the very best men in the business was poor George Howe , who died recently , and who had been with mo for many years. In the summer he traveled with the big circuses , and last year caught a cold , from which he never recovered , lie papered a room for my little boy , ceil ing and all , with the brightest and best of his collection of lithographs , that was a work of art , for he always had a great eye for effect , and did his work like an artist. " The proprietor of a popular beer sa loon in , speaking on tlio same subject , said : ' 'You would bo surprised to know how much competition there is between the lithograph men of the different thea tres , and when 1 tirst opened tiiis place I was visited by half a do/cn of them , each of whom tried his level best to secure the monopoly of my windows and walls for the 'paper' ' ' of his house. I gave them all an equal show , however , anil so pot a good many tickets for tlio first nights , and the ! < o I generally turn over to my best customers. 1 learned a trick , and that was this : The theatrical men watch for the licenses to ho issued for new so- loons or new owners of places. When they ascertain the man's address they rush oil'to him and offer all sorts of in ducements for the exclusive right to use his windows and saloon. 15ut they did not catch mo that way.

A Copyright Puzzle. NEW Youic , Fob. 17 The heavy profits made by Gilbert & Sullivan , through thu Mikado in this country , and tlio lilcuwi&o great sum whioh piracy ol the opera has deprived them of , have led them into the tremendous anxiety as to their next work and its protection. Sullivan consnlted with lawyers while recently here on the .question whether , if ho WITO to become a naturalized citizen of the United States , ho would lese Ills copyrights in England , in which case his musio would bo lost to him in that country , though Gilbert might still protect the words there , and they would not be available here without the notes. The scheme was abandoned. The present Idea \3 \ to asso ciate an American author in the next opera to a sufficient extent to let him copyright the work. As portions tions written by him , distributed through the work and music , need not bo dis closed until an action in court against in- fringcrs made it essential , it is thought that the device may prove effective. The now piece , which by contract is to bo ready for production next October , is to present tlio story of _ an Egyptian girl who learns that she is a descendant of an ancient princess , ami undertakes to live up to her Illustrious ancestry The fun is to arise from the mixture of by-gone Egyptian and present English dress , cus- developed York colaborer has received his assign ment of several brief passages of dialogue nnd music to write. It docs not follow that his small part of the work will re main ns ho provides it , but it will bo enough his own to inako it defensible. BUCKSKN SAM.

Adult renders may not recall him at all , but juvenile grief will bo as wide spread as the country's borders. Ho was the author of Indian stories , such as tain Bravo. " Uo was not a humbug , who had never been further west then Michi gan ; whoso knowledge of horses was eon- lined to saw-horses and ot Indians to the Niagara Falls specimens. Fifty years n ; o the Hall family , of Lcominstor. Mass. , had a son born to it. They named him Sam H. Ho grow to early manhood. in the quiet Now England neighborhood. Sam Hall demanded excitement , nnd the community frowned on his favorite methods of obtaining it. So ho ran away from homo and wandered down to Texas. The first that was known of him there was as ono of Hen MeUul lough's roughs. lie had at last found congenial employ- incut , and from that time until the break ing out of the rebellion there was no harder riding or lighting dare-devil than he. His companions named him Buck skin Sam. Hovas slender and under sized , with good features , gentle voice and manner , and dark oycs of moro than ordinary beauty. Ho rode at about 123 pounds , and fought at four or live tons. The rangers wont nn and down the Hio Grande , killing Indians usually and Greasers sometimes. It was not long be fore Buckskin Sam became known as a dead-shot , a skillful equestrian , a hard drinker and a man without fear. That ho was the chosen companion of Big Foot Wallace , Joe Ford and the Ben Thompson who was hhot recently at , San Antonio , shows what sort of stull he was made of. Tlio war came on , and men in Texas had to choose sides ; or , rather , they had to choose ono side , and that the southern one. Sam was a New Englander - er , and ho took no toel { in secession. If ho did , along with the other rangers , join the rebel army , it was undoi com pulsion , and it was not long before ho appeared within the Union lines. Until the close of the struggle ho did service as a spy and scout in the Army of the southwest. When Sam reappeared in the Now England village his hair was long , his hat. wide-brimmed , and his aspect that of the most picturesque of rangers ; and yet his reception was not warm , for ho tried to turn the town into n border camp for roystoring inebriety , and ho soon got ejected from the family domicile. Ho came to this city , and how he lived for awhile nobody knows ; but eventually Col. Front iss Itigraham and Buffalo Bill befriended him , discovered that ho had unusual facility for description , and ad- visud him to write fiction based on bis own personal experiences. So Sam turned in to a cheap publishing firm a story called "Kit Carson Jr. " The man uscript was so crude that they could not use it as it was , but they discerned merit in it , and advised him to have it edited for them to read. Ho then bargained with u professional writer , an Oxford graduate , to lick the narrative into read able shape. This partnership lasted until Sam's death. The publishers say that the charm of these scries of stories lay in their truthfulness to reality and their freedom from coarseness. Buckskin Sam found the temptations ot Now York too much for him. In Wil mington , Del. , lived George M. Dutcher , nn old Texas friend , wiio had been ono of the toughest of the rangers , but had reformed and become a temperance re vivalist. Sam wont thereto bo improved by his former "pard. " Ho staid there until his moral teacher ran away , leaving a helpless family , by whom Sam stood sturdily to the day of his death as feolo .support. lie was ono of the characters of Wilmington , marked by his retention of the ranger hair anil sombrero , and when occasionally ho insisted on daubing the town red ho was allowed to do it without great hindrance. But that sort of life could not last , oven with a steel- wire constitution , and so it has come about that Buckskin Sam died , sur rounded by the family of his old pard. Tlio mayor of Wilmington has written to his publishers , and they have responded with a check sufficient to bury him neatly. _ _ IIOUSEKKEPEKS that fail to acquaint themselves with the value of JAMES 1'YLK'S PEAHLINE in the kitchen and laundry deprive themselves of the most convenient and useful article of the ago- Tnhn G.

Did you ever on a railway car observe the many bits of pasteboard that are thrust out at the conductors who hesi tate bof&ro they punch them , and hand them back with an air that seems to say : "Well , 'tis none of my business , " and move on to another ? That's ' the "puss , " ami a mighty handy thing it is where tlio fchekels are not redundant and the ways are long. Lecturers find it so especially , and Saxo now old once told mo ono of his experiences that was very amusing. Ho had passes on all the railroads and steamboats in the west , ho thought , but at ono time ho found himself on n short road not down on his chart , upon which ho had no ticket. As the conductor came along ho took all his pusses from his hand like a dock of playing cards. "Mr. Conductor , " feaid ho "do you piny cnchroJ" "Yrs , sometimes , " "Wolf , whattthould you say to a hand like that' " "I should say pass , " and Save put up his curds as the conductor passed laughingly along.
