It has often been a matter of wonder to casual purchasers that small articles of Japanese manufacture , such as toothpicks and fans , could bo sold at such low prices The small fans ore sold at a cent apiece , while the dainty Ilttlo toothpicks command the same price per bundle. When ono examines either of thcso prod ucts nnd speculates upon the amount of labor that must bo spent to make them In any quantity , the natural Inference , says the Jewelers' Hovlow , Is that the well known xmallncjs of Japanese wages contains the explanation At a first glance this seems to bo the naural explanation. Such skilled workers as watchmakers get but a trifle more than $1 a week for their services , and the less skilled and moro mechanical trades command a pittance that to our western Ideas seems Incredibly small Hut small as the wages of the Japanese worker may be , there are considerations that Indicate at once that some other cause must be found There Is a duty on both the articles mentioned , and In addition to this It must bo romcmbere-d that Japan Is a good piece away , and that , In the natural course , freights would glvo a considerable price In this market to articles that were entirely without cost In the Orient A visit to several Japanese Importing houses which deal exclusively In flno Sot- suma and other native wares and In Japanese curios revealed the secret of the prices at which the small wares could bo offered hero. The largo vases which form the staple Im port of the concerns called upon requlro the most careful packing , leal on their long Journey they como to grief ; and hero Is where the toothpicks and fans not only work their passage , but legally cscapo duty. Packed In and around the vases are many thousands of thcso articles , and by this use they lone their character u merchandise trud become merely so much "packing , " HI would be difficult to estimate the enormous quantities of this "packing" which would bo required for a single shipment of vases. The market here Is constantly glutted , nnd Now YorUcL * can purchase hero at homo these trifles nt the same prices that are naked In Toklo , nnd their wonderful cheap ness makes American competition totally out of the question.

There was once n grand Jiiry up In Hawcs county. In one of the Missouri river territories which -but perhaps jououlil better hear the whole story tohl by the Chicago Times- Hcralil , and then jou will understand how easy It Is under nny circumstances In the world to mass men Into combination for some dellnlto object. In those old terri torial and steamboat days the population of Hawcs county , though limited In quantity , as swift In motion and morality. A man 'ho dismounted from the lower Missouri tcamboit at the le\co was obliged to wear saddle blanket o\cr his head ns ho walked l > town to keep his vl\ld blushes from Ignallng the down boat to atop. This was specially true In the case of Hcnsford , he county seat , and It pot worse as you irogrosscd Into the other settlements. The ounty scat wis sat down In 1 > > a sort of ; eneral riff-raff of bullwhackcrs , steam- oil roustcrs and horse thieves of all north west natloralltlcs There wcro also others horn It was n matter of pain to mention ho conglomeration made the night an orgy .vlth . sides and end gates piloted red and ho voice of virtue was as the \olco of a deaf mi to. Into this county seat ono day came Judge \rllnprton now a federal Judge In that same Dakota country to hold a small amount of ourt , and to sentence some three dozen rep- escntatlvcs of the offscourings of the earth o bo hangcid The sheriff had the Jail > acl > cd with criminals of all \lclons sorts ml there was a general clamor for a debut f the district cottu , so that the population mtilde the Jail might have a decent chance o get Inside , where It belonged Judge Arlington therefore tra\clcd up the Missouri her , ami belli ; ; met at the landing by n viinl of distinguished villains , was escorted p town to the hotel , which was a saloon as .veil . , and In a room In the second story of -vhlch - It had been designed that court should )0 held A sort of platform was put tip at ) iio end of the room , the support thereof ) clng beer kegs , and the work of Impaneling a. grand Jury was entered upon. The grain ! "ury exhausted a largo share of the popula- lon of the town and the sheriff was obliged o liberate two distinguished desperadoes rein the Jail to complete the- panel , but , na lieso two were held for merely Incidental nurder Instead of horse stealing this was ; nnsldcrc < l all right The remainder of the ury was built up of halfbrecds , hnll- Uiackcru , rous'crs. freighters and dance hall Ctpers , and when It lined up before Judge irllngton for Instructions before going down talrs to the room In the rear of the saloon 'or dcllbcutlon on prospective Indictments t wan the hardest looking throng that ver got together In the holy name of ustlec. I do not know exactly what occurred In .ho rear rom behind the saloon before the firing began It Is certain that seven rounds of liquor were served to , the grand Jurcrs In the first hour and when Enoch Weathciwax was triumphant ! } Indicted on sixty-two ac counts for horse and cattle stealing the bar keeper threw open the Intervening door and asked the Jurors to kindly take possession of the stock , the occastpn being considered i > him as ono of the great moments In She tilstory of the town. It was -shortly after this that the first bullet zipped up through the floor and past the left car of the Judge A few moments later another and half a ilozcn others followed , and to the jildgo It seemed that an Inverted rain storm of bul lets had struck that region and lia ! place was elsewhere. Ho did not know Just what the men were fighting about , but guessed It to bo the third count In the Mtddlcton Indictment. As a matter of fact , they were not fighting at all , but were merely cele brating the event of the court sitting , and although the bullet which went through the fleshy pirt of Judge Arllngton'fl leg was productive of some pain , still It was meant solely as a witness of the esteem In which he was held. The Judge didn't know that , and , looking out of the window , he Raw the Rosebud coming down the river. Without a word to an > body ho made a running Jump and cleared that window Itko a sort of forensic antelope. Twenty minutes later he was on the lloscbud and had crawled as far up on the bow as possible , so as to get out of to.MI the quicker. Ho had not waited to direct the sheriff to adjourn court. The court was abandoned b > him whllo still In session. Tbo legally con stituted grand jury was not curtailed of It/i powers , but was left to grind cheerily on In Its murderous way as though life waa one grand holiday of Indictments and there was no such thing as a closed hunting season The Jury accepted that view of It , and when the. Judge's absence was made known to Its members the foreman simply shot aollcj out of his revolver and declared that the powers and authority of the Inquisitorial body could not bo swindled away from It by the btampodlng of any tenderfoot Jurist who ever ran to catch a boat to get out of the society of perfect gentlemen The Jury , therefore , kept right at Its Job Daj.i passed Into weeks , and Indictment fol lowed Indictment. There waa no court and no semblance to usual court practices anil customs , but HardcHty , the foiemail , In sisted that It was the Jury's duty , as Ameri can citizens , to maintain Its unity. After a while the body had Indicted cvcrjbodj against whom complaint had been filed , ami then It began to broaden Its scope. It en tcrcd upon the fashion of Indicting In a speculative way , Just to sco what thcro was In It A man would come to town with a wagon loaded with freight , and the Jurj would hear of It and get together and Indict him for cruelty to animals or something , and confiscate his property , and If ho made any complaint the foreman would sit down and reason with him and show him that ho ought to ho glad that the body had not Indicted him for horse stealing and murder , or some other offense punishable by a pain ful and Inconvenient death Steamboats wcro visited by vldettes for the Jury , and passengers were hauled Into the back room and cxpedltlously Indicted for as much property as they possessed , and If any ob jected the foreman was at great pains to Inform him of the perfect legality of the thing , laying special stress on the fact that the Jury was by law In continuous session Hy and by , as members of the ptncl were killed or died off'It hccimc evident that some means must be taken -to Insure the permanency of the , fastjtutlon. HO associate members were elected , and now blojd was Infused , so that tUcforwas a certainty of the continuance of itliQ profitable business of the Jury I3vcrytfitliK was done In a per fectly legal mannor.'j'however. and no man was allowed to take 'a place on the panel without a thorough''examination by the foreman , After pasilns ho was allowed to appropriate and sll'dot with the bett of them , being protected by his official position j and by the lawa governing contempt of court. It finally got so , lliat Hawcs county was ono entire grand Jilrj'ouiihollcHt sort , and many attempts vvcrq made to clean It out by the river captajiH | , who were tired of concealing their passengers In the hulls of the boats so as to pjry crvo them from being served with cliatlop jti/appear and bo fined for contempt. Vigilance committees were formed In other comities and wcro marched over against the Hau < o grand Jury , but as the Jury now numbered 2J5 persons , these Intruders were successfully beaten off , the foreman of the Jury Instating that their In vasions were villainous violations of the rights of free people and of the forms of the law. The question of bow to Htop the Hawcs county rapine was a most complex ono until ono day Judge Arlington had an Idea.

The report that Chinamen are being pulled across the St. Lawrence liver by means of a rope stretched from Iro-juols to Hogaiisburg , thus gaining an entrance to the land of the free , Is being widely cir culated , says the Norwood ( N. J ) News. The lack of particulars has led people to think that It Is no trick at all for the almond-eyed celestial to do the rope passage , but people who are acquainted with the old St. Lawrence know that It taken lots of nerve to hang ou to a rope and bo dragged from Iroquols to Hogaiisburg In the witch ing hours of night The strong current of 'the ' river makes U Impossible to pull straight across , consequently quently Hogitiiburg Is somewhat down the river from Iroquols , and In order to kcop the rope In place It has to run through several guldo pullo > o anchored on shoaling poinU These pullc > s are a source of an- uoyanco to the passenger , and , as It Is Im possible to eeo them In the night , their posi tion h not Known until a thumb or finger Is cut off It VPS the finding of these lingers and thumbs In the etomachs of fish caught along the river that Ir-d to the discovered of this method of crossing.

IMJ TII12 CI.OCIC. rilllllllnr I'lK'i-H ( lull Ari > Seldom ( > > < ! - One ot the popular habits of the people of Now York City Is to consult the clock almost on every occasion when an opportunity Is presented. It matters Ilttlo whether any special need requires that consultation or not , sa > s the Mail and Kxprcts , the clock will thus be consulted , Especially Is this the case If a particular clock has the repui tatlon of being a good timekeeper So well Is this known by many stoickcepers that they will place clocks In their stores so situated au to bo easily been by persons who may bu passing along the adjacent bldewalk If the clock has a good reputation and the pedestrian Is fortunate enough to carry a watch , a compailsun Is almost sure to be made. Many times a clock with a good reputation placed In the back part of a store becomes a protection thereof , especially at night. If near It Is located a light strong enough to Illuminate UK face and show the time. A policeman told a Mall and Kxprcss reporter the other day that a good clock , thus situ atcd , Is better than a private watchman for a Jewelry stord , as every bolatcil pnescr-by Is likely to look through the store to see what tlmo It Is , and would be almost certain to notice anything unusual In the appearance of the place. It therefore becomes Indirectly a silent watchman guarding the premises ngalmit the depredations of burglars , and makes tbo pedestrians , us It were , assistants In the work. Church clocks have alwajs had a largo number of patrons In the work of consulta tion and nothing deems to be so annoying as to find such a clock Inactive. When an event of this character occurs , especially If the church Is located on or near a busy thor oughfare , the fact of the clock being stopped , or that some defect appears to exl t , Is often made the subject of a notice In the dally papers. Hiipcclally was this the cane when the steeple of St. Paul's was recently undergoing renovation , and It was a Joy to many on noticing that the newly gilded hands of thn clock wore again traveling along their accustomed circuit , and the deep- toned bell was ready to strike the hour onto moro.

The lives of passengers being togaulcd more valuable than gold dust , drivers were In structed to makeno resistance to the de mands of road agents , but to stop when ordered and throw out the bo\ without aigu- incut. If no shotgun messenger happened to bo on the stage the road agent usually had no dlfllculty in getting the box , the pas sengers belt.tf onlv too glad to bo let alone. Hut once In n while 11 passenger with more grit than discretion made resistance , s > > > s the Cincinnati nnqulrcr , and the road ugcut did not always get the best of the con troversy One Oa > in the early 70s three men btopped the Marysvlllo btage and or dered the passengers to get out. All but ono obeyed the order olid ono of the rob bers marched them along up the road , whllo the other two remained by the stage to at tend to the treasure box , an Iron nn.ni bolted to the llooi of the coach. . Jacob Illlllnger , an excitable and obstinate German , had Ignored the older to disembark nnd remained seated Inside the coach. Ono 01' the robbctb got half way Into the coach to examine the treasure box , and , seeing Illlllnger sitting there , asked him gruttly why ho had not got out Hy way of reply Hllllngcr placed his foot against the rou- ber s stomach and with a vigorous shove sent him heels over head Into the road The robber yelled when Uilllngc'i's foot stuick him and hU companion wheelejl around and discharged a load of buckbhot at UlllltigerH bretist and eut off one of the bows tint upheld the eanvas top of the wagon , the charge striking within nil Inch of llllllnccr s head. The report of the gun frightened the horses , nud they ran away up the road nt the lop of thelt speed. The passengers ahead heard the team tearing along , and scattered into the brush , and their guaid had to Jump asldo to avoid being run down When the driver stopped his team ami : ho passengers had collected once more. Illlllnger was asked why he made such a break and took the chances of being shot "Why , " replied Illlllnger , "that fellow haf 110 right to get in our stage already I pay for my seat and don't get oudt until I was ready myself What business that fellow lialf to meddle with the box7 Some of my money was In there already , and you think I let any son-of-a-gun who couuu along take that box ' No , sir "Any man who tells me to get out whet I pay for my ride I kick him yust quick li dcr stomach every time , you bet your life' Along In the summer of 1SVO the Marys- vlllo stage had another of the pcrlodka hold-ups This time John Davis was among the passengers Inside An Italian was the highwayman on this occasion Vhero weio four or live passcngcra besides Davis , al young , strong men , who would not like very well to sco their names In print In conncc tlon with this Incident. The Italian highwayman a tall , athletic fellow , stepped out from behind a rock at the foot of a Btfep hill , and , leveling a shot gun at the driver , ordered him to stop am throw out the bo\ . The driver obeyed , am ! handed the box , which contained ( several thousand dollars , to the robber , who took It In his left hand and remarked that thai was all he wanted. Davis looked at the robber a moment ami said * "Don't you think you've' got a lot of check to hold up a stage with five men In If" "It strikes me , " said the robber , "that you'vo got a d sight more check to make any Impromptu remarks on the nubject when nobody has bothered you. Iltivo yoi got any money about you ? " "Yes , I have , " said Davis "I've got a hundred dollars ; but what of that' " "Nothing particular , except that I vant It and will blow your head off If you don't band It cut lively " And so saying- the lob- her sighted along his gun barrel nt Mr Davis' head He looked as If ho meant business , and Davis leUurcly fished out his purse and held It out to the robber Davis sat on the front step , between the driver and another man and in handing the purse to the robber he had to lean forward and across the other passengers while the lou- ber had to lower his gun. step up clcso to the btago and reauh up for the purse with his left hand. Ji'st as the robber grasped the purse Davis pitched forward and hurled hlmsell upon the fellow , lauding him on the grouml with a crash. Davis weighed over 200 pounds , and the Italian had a hard Jcb to shako him off , but Davis was much the older man and his wind did not last long. The struggle on the ground lasted for a mlnuto or more , ami had the other passengers gone to Davis' as sistance they could have overpowered anil bound the robber without any dlfllculty but not a man of them stirred hand or foot to help the old gentleman , and In a few mo ments the Italian got out from under him and regained his gun , which he had droppei when Davis fell upon him "You are the cheekiest old man I ever saw , " bald the Italian , as Davis , almosi breathless nnd wholly disgusted , bcrambleu : to his feet and began brushing the dusl from his clothes , "That's all right , " panted the old gentle man , "but If any of those d cowards or the stage had stood In we'd have had yoi tied up and the Joke would have been 01 you " Now , It would bo a line ending of this In cident to relate how the read agent , ad miring the ( spirit and courage of the oh gentleman , returned to him his purse am punished the cowardice of the other pas- seiiRcrd by compelling them to give ui their money and watches , but highwaymen of that type went out of fashion long ago and the cold , tinrcmantlc truth of the- mat ter Is that the Italian kept Davis' $100 didn't rob the others nnd went away Into the brush with his gun In ono hand and the express box In the other. The eherlff took his trail the name day and arrested him In a wayside saloon , but forgot to search him , and when the rob'jcr ' was taken to Jail ho gave Davln' $100 tea a lawyer to defend him.
