The Rook Island Decides to Get a Share of Omaha Easiness- THE DEMOCnATIC PATCHWORK. llio Police Itnll-iltirt 1 r n Wire- ' Daio Ilntl Court Notes The Olovc Contest Oilier Local News. Anotlinr I/lvc Stock Itntc U'nr. l-'or seine lime back il hns boon no secret , with those conversant wllli rail road matters , that tlio relations botweun the Omalia ami Chicago roads was bo- coining very much strained , owing to tlio existing rtilos governing Uiu'c \ \ stock tratlic. At the time of the cut in live slock rates , early Intho season , an ugrcc- mcnt wns onturcd into by the Chicago Rock Inland fe Pncltfu , tlio UlilcflRO , Hur- llnglon & Qtilncy , llio Chicago & North western nnd the ChU'nco & Milwaukee , that they would haul nil live stock from Omaha to Chicago at the proportionate rate of the through charges. That is , stock could be billed to Chicago , from any western point , by the way of Omnhn , nnd could be halted at Omaha and reshipped - shipped , or if fcold the buyer could rcahlp to Chicago at the same rate charged for stock going straight through. The Chica go & Northwestern and Chicago , Hurling- totiiS : Quinoy insisted upon this exception being made , that all stock coming into Omaha on any of their branch lines should go out over the sumo road to Chicago cage , or otherwise bo compelled to pay local rules. The enforcement of Ibis rule was equivalent to limiting the Chicago it Hock Island and Chicago & Milwaukee to such stock as came in over the Union I'aeillc. It soon became apparent that they could not ovun depend upon tlio Union I'aeilie stock , for when a buyer buys a numbi'r of cars of cattle or hogs , and is compelled to ship ono or moro of them over a certain road , ho qulto natu rally wants them all to go together , and hence that road gets llio whole shipment The Milwaukee gave up with goodgiace , to what appeared to bo the inevitable , and looked quietly on while the other roads fought over the bone of contention. The Hock Inland struggled hard all sum mer to maintain her ground , but was compelled to see ono after another of her old shippers drop oil'and go over to either the Chicago , Burling ton & Quiney or to the Chicago & North western , for the single reason that she was cut off from hauling anything except Union I'aeillc stock. On Wednesday evening of this week the Hock Island hauled out a tram of livestock , consigned to Ktist Cambridge. Mass. , and shipped by an old patron of the Hock Island , who had lately been shipping over the other roads. As soon as it wi\s known that there woru sovora ) cars in the train be longing to the Chicago & Northwestern and to the Chicago & Burlington , there was a general excitement among the rail I road men. Yesterday morning W. fl. Habcock , general western agent of the Chicago & Northwestern , hastened to the Omaha stock yards lo investigate thu reported action of the Hock Island. Ho looked the iield over carefully and it was quite evident that he was not over and above well pleased with tlio outlook. He talked the matter pver with the stock yards people and is reported to have hinted- that ho would stop the live stock on the line ot his road . ( from coming to Omaha.iuiless h\s \ road J could haul it out again. Last night the Hock. Island hauled out stock that had come in over the 15. & M. , and a pro longed howl went up from the Burlington. It is quite evident that the Hock Island lias determined upon having her sIntro of the Omaha life stock trallic , and it remains to be seen what tlio other roads will do about it. PATCHING UP THE TICKET. Tlio ( Jaunty Democracy Skirmishing ; Tor Senatorial Timber. The democracy arc having a hard time in finding men who will act as standard bearers for divided factions in a hopeless contest. They hold two meetings in thn city yesterday to select men whom they hone will consent to allow their names printed on the ucnatorial tickets. The lloat senatorial convention composed of nine delegates from Douglas county and live from Sarpy , mot at H. W. Patrick's ofllco yesterday afternoon to select a candidate for lloat senator. Mr. Charles Kaufmann was chosen chairman of the convention. The committee appointed to see the Hon. 1'reil Mate nnd induce him If possible to make the race reported that they had carefully performed the duties of their appointment , but that their prayers and tears and coaxing hail all been in vain , as Mr. Mctz was firm in Ids intention and detorminalion lo take no part whatever in the contest. The delegates then cast about tor a substitute for Mr. Met/ , but failed to find ono among the prominent Gorman oitl/ens whoso names have boon mentioned In connection with the place. They finally selected upon .lames K. Campbell , of Sarpy county , and , llnding to their joy , i that ho would probably consent to nitike the race , nominated him oy acclamation and then luljourned. Mr. Campbell is at present county treasurer of Sarpy county , liavieg hold the po.Mlion for live years. JIo was county clerk for a number of years before ho was elected to Ids pres ent position. I'AXTON AND 1'AULSKK. The democratic ! county central commit tee met last evening at the corner of Thirteenth and 1'tmiuni , to select a can didate for senator , vice James Croighton resigned. Mr. Crelghton's card , ad- drcb.sod to Chairman Martin , was as fol lows ; I , respectfully heir h'avo to tender to your committee my declination of a nomination for the oltice of xtuto hunutnr , and In this con nection 1 dottlro to tlmnU yourcomiuittcu and .tlio democracy of this county fur tlm high honor Intended to ho contuiiei ) , and which I am tumble to nmtut. Coupled with this declination cntno llio statement of Captain C , li. Hnstin , the other senatorial candidate that under no consideration would he allow his name to bo used as a candidate , and that if elected , to the plaeo ho would not servo. After Bomu dibcusslon the commlttoo selected William A. 1'axtou and J. T I'anlMin as senatorial candidate. ! . It Is not Known that either of these gentlemen will no- copt the nomination. Huso It.ill Not OH. President K. K. Murphy , of the Western League , writes that n intuiting of the League will bo hold in Loavenworth ixbout the middle of November.

The Police Bull. The event at the exposition building last night was the much-talked-of , widely advertised police ball. About night hun dred people were in attendance , and it is safe to say that every ono enjoyed him or herself to the utmost. All arrange- mcdts had been made beforehand to ensure the success of the affair. The consequence was that everything passed ofl smootlilv. No objectionable charac ters were allowed on the lloor , and for this the management deserves all duo credit , ' The programme was ono of twenty- oicht dances and kept the many thrones busy until a late hour this morning. The Musical Union orchestra furnished excel lent music. John McDonald was the able and gracious master of ceremonies. Work of n Wire. A rather peculiar accident occurred on Tenth street near Jones about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Several lads were playing together , when , a boy named Powers engaged in a race with one of his companions. 'U bile running at full speed young Powers struck a telegraph wire which repairers had stretched from u polo. The wire caught the boy by the neck , and such was his momentum that his foot were thrown oyer his head and he fell a distance of over five feet on the hard pavement. He was picked up in an almost unconscious condition and taken to Bell's drug store , whore Dr. Darrow sowed up a largo gash in his cheek caused by striking a sharp paving block. Court Notes.

" _ "Years have not seen and time shall not seo" the people sit down quietly to sutler pain , when enterprise can afford such a panacea as Salvation Oil. The old saying "opposition is the life of business , " has not been sustained in ono instance nt least. Since the introduction of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup nil other cough remedies have been dead Block. Cnptaln notfc * ' Trlclc. lloston Travollor : Captain Boggs , a Virginian , who held n captain's license on Ihu Mississippi river boforu ho wns of ago , nnd who for fourteen years had tlio contract to supply thu military posts in Utah , Colorado , Now Mexico and Ar- i/.ona with fuel , tells the following storv : "I was down in the Ute reservation in Colorado and had strolled down to the shores ol a small lake while ray mules and teamsters were eating cfinnur , when 1 came across a party of about a dozen Indians. They were armed with rilles and were shooting at a snag which stuck out of the water about 200 yards distant. The stakes for which they wore shooting were composed ot a quarter of a dollar for each man. I stood watching them for some time , and then decided to cuter thn competition , Each man had three shots and the man who hit the snag the most times won the pot. Tho- > misses were told by thu nplunh-in the wat'ji'i the hits by the absence of the splash. After some parley with the redskins I got them to allow mo to enter the matoh though thoj compelled me to deposit half a dollar while they put in but a quarter I had a IIiMiry repeater with mo that , fortunately for my purpose , was then un loaded , i was accounted one of the best shots in that country , but knew that the Indians were not by any menus slow. I slipped three cartridges into my rillo , and as I did so I broke the ball oil' , thus leaving a blank cartridge. Of course , no splash"followed any of my shots , and the Indians thouirht I had hit the snag every tune. I won that pot , but the next time E intentionally lose by not breaking the balls oft' , and by taking indifferent aim. J then broke all the balls off until I had won $18. Then the Indians , who began to look at mo with suspicion or awn , re fused to shoot any moro. I invitcil them up to the store and spent tlio money on knick-knacks , which I divided among them. I then took them back to the lake ana showed them the trick. They were very much surprised , but took it in good part. On returninjr that way a few days after I found the same tribe on the lake shore shooting a big matoh with a neigh boring tribe , whom they were rapidly cleaning out of everything. I learned that they had 'skinned' every Indian in the country that they could get to shoot against them. I said nothing , but mused on the readiness of the savage to adopt the white man's tricks. "Wine With n History. Salt Lake Tribune : J. A. Murray , of IJutte , Mont , is the possessor of twelve bottles of wine with a history. The ear liest known of this wine is that it was found in a subterranean vault inside a stone receptacle , in a Jesuitical monas tery that was demolished during a local fond among religious fanatics , It so happened that the eye of an epicurean fell upon it , and he secured it as the most valuable of the treasures , carried it into Poland and prc-mntcd it to the crown , for which ho was rewarded by the highest honors and titles that could be conferred upon : i private citizen. At the marriage of the Princess IJeehorniz of Poland to the heir apparent of the crown of Franco thn only remaining basket of this price less vintage was presented to the prince for tlio nuptial occasion. An adven turer by the name of Houforte , who had secured the position of hcconcl steward to the crown , stole twelve bottles of the precious nectar and replaced these with twelve of an inferior article. These twelve bottles he brought with him to America in the year. 1700. " lie communi cated the nature of his special.treasure to liiu niott trusted friend , Henry Coatway. The cupidity and avarice of tlio latter overpowered his reason and he killed lioutorto lo secure the wino. The deed was no sooner done than ho feared the vengeance of the law and resolved to lly to distant parts , for a time at least , until the excitement of the murder would die nut. liefore leaving he buried the twelve bottles with their history far down among the roots of an ancient oak. Fifty years after , on uprooting this same tree , a newly converted Mormon found the treasure and tooK it with him when ho migrated to Utah. Whim lirigham Young was made ac quainted with the nature of the valuable articles contained In the twelve bottles ho informed the owner that God had made him the instrument to llnd this treasure that he might give it to the head of the church , and forthwith took the vintage. The wine wns in turn stolen from Hrigham by an apostate Mormon , who brought it to Montana , and on his death bed , at the mining camp of Pioneer , ho bequeathed to J. A. Murray this wine of such an eventful history as a testimonial of his gratitude to that gentleman for Ids having loaned him $000 at one time for the purpose of calling a hand for Julius Jxivy , by which he took down a pot con taining $1,8011. A Missouri burglar , while attempting to enter a house , hau his lower jaw shot off. A local paper , in describing the affair said the victim " , "resolutely re fused to talk. " THE ART OF , POLITESESS , Strange That Civility , Should Bo Used So Sparingly , The Sillily of .Mantier-i KtiRnRP1 * tint jjlttlo or tliq'lhrniRhto of ilu- tmuilty In thh Hustling null Practical ARC. Philadelphia Ucpordi In this bustling and practical ago1 wc , are tOo apt to bo careless as to gruels of manner and con versation.Vo look back occasionally on the days of Porieles , when llio Alho- nians talked In high-sounding phrases nnd saluted each other with the defer ence which subjects only give lo kings , or on the days of the ancient reglnu1 , when the courtiers of a Louis worn Con spicuous for a conventional politeness and grace that scarcely served to conceal the hatred , the venom , the meanness and vulgarity that lay beneath. And , there fore , associating politeness cither with a state of society whore there is but litllo freedom of thought , speech or action , and where llio social fabric is built up of classes who are divided by laws of caste , or else with sleepy oriental countries where men lead the life of lotus- enters and rust away In idleness , the study of manners engages but litllo of our thoughts. Wo tacitly admit , of course , that tlio oxoroiso of such mi attri bute is all right ; but our great weakness is to look to results instead of to details , and wo are too apt to forgot that those results are brought about by the very means which we make light of. It must bo admitted , however , that wo admire politeness in olhcrs. As a people , be- nealli the rough exterior winch we so often assume , wo have n sympathetic and a kindly nature ; wo are alive to a tale of distress and are ready to respond to the cry of suffering ; but wo are too carelesa of thu litllo courtesies which add such s charm to either social or business inter course. Politeness my bo styled one of the delicate Immunities ; it sweetens ex istence ; and besides being a high social virtue it is and this is something worthy of attention in such a practical age- really useful in many ways , and proves itself to be n safe and remunerative , business investment , It is hardly possible to estimate the amount of unconscious egotism to bo found in every man nnd woman. Il crops out in the most unexpected quar ters , and exercises a largo intluoiico on the common alfairs of life. Civility , therefore , alfeets us more than nalivo modesty would probably care to ac knowledge. Wo look for it in others , no matter what may bu the particular rela tion which they sustain to us and we to them , ami we fool disappointed and are rullled by its nbsptlco. 'The larger the city and tlio morc ! ; . ' ro.wtlcd the commu nity the less do we fihd co'mmorcial po liteness ; it seems , | to , dwindle away in an inverse ratio to Jhc Kquare of business. Men will tell you , -if they ever stop to dis cuss the matter , it3mt < tiey have no time to bestow on hollow phrases and super fluous conventionalities , and that there is no place in the cquutinir room , tlio store , the warehouse , or , the factory for the meaningless umj 'stoqrotyped genuflec tions of tliu , , ( c,6u'rt or drawing room. This may/j bo true , but theie is "ample room and verge smile when , witnqs.mg. ' "Pjniiforo' . ' at tlio absurd suggestion j > ( $ ir > < Jo'souh.

And'ywt ' , after jitht'rejs \ | a sound principle ilrtderly'iriit this piece of burlesque. The man who is kind and gracious to those who for the time being are under him will certainly have his re ward. Every reader of Dickens can re member the dosnairing cry of 'Joe , tlio strcot waif , in "Bleak House" ' 'lie wor real good to mo , ho wor. " This portion of the scum of a soothing city , with scarcely a glimmering instinctor an idea as to right or wrong , was touched by kindness and by gentleness. Ho could not understand it ; he did not com prehend its significance or .meaning : but it was something different from what ho bad over met withCor knowja , and so in his blind and ignorant groping ho came upon the truth as to That best portion oC a Rood man's life , Ills title , nameless , iiurciricinbered acts O kindness and of love. Men will argun sometimes that they have no time to bo polite , forgctling thaf , it takes the same amount of time to bo uncivil and disagreeable. There are moro thln < rs needed to insure success than money , experience and integrity. The amenities which some despise so much arc also potent factors ; anil even if you can point out a man who is rude and churlish and yet successful in life that is no argument against the truth of the theory ; It simply show's that ho has suc ceeded in spile of the want of politeness. If , therefore , civility bo such a largo and potential ingredient of success , it is strange that it should bo used so spar ingly. It costs nothing , it requires no room for storage , and can , in fact , bo carried in the vest pocket or put in a glove boy , and the moro of it that is given the moro remains. When people can bo made to understand that the use of it may bring dollars and cents , then they may also bOKin to consider it in its morn ! aspect nnd make life brighter by showing it in its liner ways and moro subtle forms. * COMMON AND HORSE SENSE. Things Many Pcoplo do Just for Kiibhlon'H Snko. Manchester Union : Ono of Iho dic tionary definitions of-common sense is : "Such ordinary complement of intelli gence , that , if a person bo deficient therein , is accounted mad or foolish. " Now a person may be unllty of a mad freak or a foolish , act , and still bo ac counted neither mad or foolish as the world goes , undjttik Amb of us but has friends who at b6htj'tinio | ; ' or other have done something fwlubh 'has shocked and surprised us witjtoiK raising a suspicion that they worn no Jf their right minds. Wo seoni to nocU/anotbor term to desig nate that lovol-hOnTledness which distin guishes some peUpUf'from ' the common run , which provq'npr.tticm . from making mistakes met.wiui8frequently { In olhers , and that loads tliginjiinstinctivoly , as H woro.to'do thorigJi'ttlWngattho ' right time in the right wiM "riijs. qufdity has bebn coarsely termcij } ] "horse sonso. " as distinguished frdrtl cqmmon sense , and though the phrartKjiot < a pleasing pnu , ft is frequently usHer | | want of ti bettor or moro cupjionionj U-inn. Possibly there mihl bo diversity of opinion as to the Vfelirfivo merits of thesq two kinds ot sense , Htit for our present purpose the dictionary must bu authority for the one , and ouch reader's experience supply his idea ot the other , In giving his notion of the dilfcronco between hnro sense and common sense , the Humbler wishes to disclaim any intention of pro claiming it as the only true onu. It is what ho believes , sinmly , and the reader is at liberty to ugrco or disagree , to subtract - tract from or add to as ho pleases. By way of illustration , let us recall the recent spell of cold weather , when forstiv- oral mornings in succession the mercury dropped to or below the freezing point , A northwest wind forced the cold into most houses , sending the temperature down to a point uncomfortably low. It is safe to say that there are in this city very few houses of the middle and well- to-do clussos.lhat wore not at that time provided with fuel and healing appal * ntus , nnd horse sense would have klndleit n lire in stove hint furnace without di-litv. Common scn o says : "No ; It is lee early in the season lo build tires. Wo shall have moro warm weather yet before fall really sots in" So mm shivered ever Iholr break fasls.and delicate women put light shawl * oil their shoulders It uolng too early forjwarni clothing and spent the day trj mg in vain to got warm. Hobnst mon eaught i-oliU , and women who were not robust were prostrated with throat and hi tic troubles , and wcro lucky not to have pneumonia. This ac curately describes the state of aflairs In four-fifths of the houses of well-to-do cltirens last week , and tin-so people , amply endoWi-d with common sense , set Hi ) a universal howl against the "horrid climate , when a little horse-sense would hpvo led llu'in lo adapt them elves to it , inndo thorn warm their dwellings and put on thicker clothing , oven though tlio change was but for n day or two , and a warm stiell was sure to follow Iho eold snap. The ineonvonioni'o of thus meet- iug the change in temperature is nothing when compared with thedaligertohealth and comfort incident to enduring the cold without llannels or fires , tosnynoth- ii gof possible dot-tors' bill. Common HIMISO in the feminine gender goes thinly clad in gauzy garmentM up to n certain date In the Reason because fashion so decrees , though the night ! ) bo frosty nnd the biting northeast wind penetrates lo thn very marrow , thus be coming a ready If not a willing victim to "providential" disease and early death , Wlik'h horse sense would have easily averted by the aid of warmer clolhlng. Common sense In the school board per mits children to sit In school rooms with the temperature twenty degrees lower limn is safe ; selects and retains incompe tent teachers ; makes an errand bo.y ami clerk of a high-salaried superintendent ; gets up personal wrangles and quarrels among HIM members of the board all of which a little hor.so sense would avoid as detrimental to the uublic school in terests. Common sense sends the boss of a gang of city laborers down into a hole to do a laborer's work while ten or fifteen men stand Idle waiting for homo ono to tell them what to busy themselves about. Horse sense tolls the boss If ho would put his coat on and do nothing nut direct Ills mon so ns lo keep all of thorn oin- ployed , each in his proper place , ho would get more work done by nightfall , and really earn moro money for the city. Common sense may bo u willing and ready worker at manual labor , but It takes horse sense to engineer a gang of hands so that no time is frittered away. Common sense builds a sewer hundreds of feet without putting in cesspools at street intersections , .so ns to fool Iho pub lic by making it appear that the appro priation is going a long ways. Hor.so souse would finish tlio work as It went along and make no transparent attempt to deceive the public , which often sees much deeper into .such schemes .than it Is credited with doing. Common sense unless wo nro willing to admit that the majority of our citizens are mad or foolish combines to put men in office , clothing them with authority to make laws and squander treasure , when such men are totally unworthy of trust. Horse sense would send some of thorn to the penitentiary and keep others in pri vate life where they belong. Common sense keeps thousands of mon tied down to routine business year after year , robbing them of all pleasure ex cept that of money-getting , until they are so fettered by habit that it is impossi ble to break away. Horse sense says : "Put on your coat and hat , lake your family , if you have one , or if not go alone into the country or anywhern you choose away from your business and enjov yourself. Your business will run itself a few days without you. If it -won'tf you havohnildod all these years to little purnose. You will live longer and bo happier and your family will bii ben efited by the ohango. Common sense loads many men into all sorts of visionary schemes , political and others , in behalf of temperance. Horse sense would look closer after the young , provide healthful places of amusement for thorn , teach them the benefits of so briety and industry , and , instead of let ting theni como up themselves , brine thorn up in such a way that they shall lay the foundations for honorable and useful lives. Common sense keeps the open horse cars in use long after they should bu dis carded , and they go through the streets crowded with shivering mortals , who , unable to walkaro compelled to undergo the torture of partial free/.ing. Horse sense , just the tiniest grain of it , would house the open cars quicker than a pro fessional tax-dodger can get round the corner , or a mugwump change his poli tics. Such heedless management can hardly bo said lo bo endowed with com mon sense oven , for it comes very near the line of foolishness on the part of the company and makes its patrons decidedly mad. This list of differences between the two senses might be extended indefinitely , but the above mustsullicofor the present. Wo think our readers will agree with us that horse sense Is rarer and more valua ble , for although Iho multitude manage to get along and do fairly well on com mon sense nlono , it is horse sense that makes ono of practical value to his fellow men. and enables the possessor thor oughly to enjoy life under conditions where common sense fails to render one the moans of being comfortable or happy. A man with a goodly share of horse sense is often looked upon by his friends as an "odd stick , " but in an emergency ho is the first ono they will call upon for help out of their dlllicnltic.s. BLANK CARTRIDGES. They nro n Hoou to the JCcnlistlo Drama , anil are UHOI ! ia Other Wayn. Now York Sun : From the point of view of the man from the far wostproba- bly the most useless thing in the world would so cm to bo a blank cartridge , for out where the sun goes down drawing a pistol is very serious business. Yet there is a very great demand for blank cart ridges , and even western mon , at least these of them who are connected with Bulftilo Bill's show , hayo oomo to look upon the harmless noise producers with tolerance , nnd oven approval as mater ially enhancing their safety in llio vigor ous and rculit-tiu bhiun fights that they go through. Many thousand oases of blank cart ridges are made ovpry year h.y the big .cartridge manufacturing establishments , nnd command prices only loss than those with bullets in them by about ns much as the value of the load would bo , Great quantities of them are sold for Fourth of July celebrations , and u good many are lined by the military in firing salutes. The theatres are , however , the bust , bo- cnuso the most constant and steady , customers for them. When the heavy villain shoots the hero , remarking. "Never again will you cross my path , " nnd the hero , miraculously saved , pops his ancient enemy , stiying , "Die , villian , " they both burn blank cartridges ; and when the English soldiers fire a volley after the escaping Irish patriot they uxo blank cartridges , and their guns boimr loaded in thul way explains why "tho finest peasantry" so easily kill them off with stuffed clubs ; and when the property man arranges the expulsion that is to rend the noble ship and sink her In the middle of the broad ocean , ho fixes a lot of blank cartridges in an apparatus that will set them all off simultaneously with a torrilio bang. And so in n thousand ways the utapu depends upon blank cart ridges for tiirllling effects. Now and then the blank cartrldzo "nroyes recreant to the trust reposed in it" and spoils an effect. Actors tell of n sensational star whd was playing a part in whjch he had 'to lllo'off his chuini , break out of prison , ellmfe a wall , and just nt the hiomeiU when ho was about to achieve liberty , bo shot bo a vigilant sentry , fall , and dlo to slow niuMo. He had climbed the wall and waited for the fatal shot. It did uol como. Again and again the sentry snapped his gun. but the Cartridge would not explode. . Did the actor let thai failure cut him out of his death scene ? Oh.no. With a shriek of agony and appropriate pniitomlmu1 trimming ! > lioutchiiined : "Great heavens ! In my excitement I have swallowed Ihu file1' ! fell from the wall , and died Iti his most otlVellve fashion. Blank cartridges are ofteti bottghl for Iho loading of pistols that peojilo keep In the house lo scare burglars if thny hap pen to cnmo. The good folks who have that liumnno nnd pretty plan understand very little about burglars , or they would know that those gentry are so delieii-nt in n sense of reciprocal humor that they habllually shoot back , and with bullets instead of blnrk cartridges. Little argu ment can bo required to demonstrate that the householder is at n disndvanlago in proe'ocdings of this nature From an incident that occurred in tx police court a few days since It would appear that there nre young mon who carry pistols loaded with blank cartridges and lire them oil on occasion to make themselves nppoar dangerous , lint thu dealers say that , so far as they know , .such Instances must bo rare. _ A Singularly Itotnnntlo Htory. Sidney Mail : Truth is nt nil. limns stranger than lid ion. A few days' ago there sailed for England a young man whoso career would furnish materials piumuli lo construct a romance out of It. His father was a younger son of jiood family , and related collaterally to a bar onet of old descent , living on a valuable estate In ono of the midland counties. Ho was somewhat wild In his youth , and a clever amaluur actor. A junior clerk ship was procured for him in the treasury and ho used to spend ivft many evenings as ho could in ono or other of the thea tres , where ho foil in love with and mar ried n pretty ballet girl , whoso father was the stage doorkeeper and who'.o mother was the wardrobe woman in the theater from which the husband took her. The union gave great offense to his friends , who found very litllo dillioully in prevailing upon him lo quit England and go out lo Australia , accompanied by his wife , and furnished with the sum of iOOO ever and above their passage money. During the voyage a son was born to them , nnd a serious disaster befell the child s father. Ho accidentally fell down Ihe hold and injured hisspine so severely that he was bedridden from that time forth. Ho lingered for a twelvemonth after his landing and then died. His protracted illness had exhausted his re sources , nnd his young widow found her self worse than penniless somewhat in debt after paying the funeral expenses. But she was a bravo lilllo wo man , and soon obtained nn engage ment nt the Theater Hoyal , under her maiden name , and was enabled to ni'itntain and give a tolerable education to her boy. She died of cancer before he was seventeen , and his life since then which was about five years ago , has been one of vicissitude. Latterly he has been acting as waiter at ono of our restau rants , where a certain inherited elegance of manner and rolinement of accent on his part lias often caused mo to specu late as to his history. By chance I had the opportunity of rendering him a frilling servico.which encouraged liiscon- fideiicc , and ho told mo his personal his tory. A fq\v months nno , glancing down tho'advertisiiiir columns of the Times. I noticed ono inqviring fora missing heir and the particulars given seemed to tally with those of his own narrative. I called his attention to it , and the result was the opening ; up of a correspondence with ivli rin of'solicitors in Lincoln's Inn Fields followed in duo time by a remit- unco from them and the information that ho had succeeded to a baronetcy and 12,000 a year. No less than three lives had stood between him and it when the old possessor ot the title died , but these had all been removed by accident in the short space of eighteen months. One had boon drowned while bathing near Mount Orguoll , inJersey ; a second had slipped into a crevasse upon the Alps , and a third had broken his neck while riiling to hounds in his own cotmlry.
