An Organ Grinder’s Sparring Coinbinati on
An organ grinder who has been in this
city for a month has a scheme which is
making him a small fortune.
Instead of the customary one monkey
this industrious son of Italy carries two.
When he stops the ordinary tricks of
climbing and begging are dispensed
with, the monkeys are set to fightingand
bets are made by the owner with any of
the spectators who are so inclined as to
which monkey will win.
The owner’s bets are freely taken, and
they rarely go against him. The result
is that where, under the old method, he
would probably receive a few nickels he
now receives dollars.
A reporter watched the man with the
monkeys for nearly an hour in front of
the new city hall, where he was sur-
rounded by a large crowd, who were

Voyage of a Bottle.
A few weeks ago a bottle went ashore
in Stage,harbor, Chatham, near the old
wharf, containing a business card of Mr.
Ring, a wholesale jeweler, Detroit,
Mich., with a statement, in pencil on the
blank side, of disaster to the boat and
probable loss of the crew, and signed by
Mr. Ring. Mr. J. El. Howell of the
Standard Oil company, Jersey City, was
in the Chatham Monitor office, where
the bottle was deposited, and as he was
going direct to Detroit opened the bot-
and took the card to Mr. Ring to see ff
there was any meaning in the writing.
Mr. Ring was found to be still alive. He
was slow to believe that this card came
from Cape Cod until convinced that it
was the truth.
Mr. Ring says that on the 25th of May
he and others were out fishing on the
Detroit river, and in a spirit of fun
wrote the message, inclosed it in a bot-
tle and cast it to the waves. To get to
Chatham it had to travel the length of
Lake Erie, over Niagara Falls, the whole
length of Lake Ontario, down the St.
Lawrence river, through the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, into the Atlantic ocean and
thence to Chatham, a distance of 2,500
miles, and all in less than sixty days.—

Stone Collins.
A discovery of great interest to archae-
ologists has just been made at Malmes-
bury. In order to enlarge his premises,
Mr. J. Moore, of the Bell hotel, has
pulled down two adjoining cottages, and
the laborers in the employ of the build-
ers while excavating underneath the
foundation discovered two stone coffins,
the lid of each of which weighed from
seven to nine hundred weight. In these
were found from sixteen to seventeen
perfect skeletons with remarkably fine
sets of teeth, scarcely one being missing,
although it is supposed the bodies must
have been buried over a thousand years.
The dividing wall between the hotel
and the cottages was six feet thick, and,
on this being removed, underneath the
center of it was found a shaft, 14 inches
by twelve, beautifully walled up, lead-
ing, it is supposed, to a chamber or sub-
terranean passage. We understand that
the vicar, who is very interested in the
discovery, has expressed his opinion that
this is the site of the Malmesbury castle
which was built by Roger, bishop of
Salisbury, for the purpose of defending
the abbey, and that it will help the
Archaeological society to trace a more
correct history of the western part of
that grand old building.
On the skeletons being found they were
carefully collected by Mr. Moore, and
the Rev. G. Windsor Tucker at once
visited the spot and gave orders for a
grave to be dug near the Russian gun in
the churchyard for their interment.
Subsequently more skeletons were found
and a second grave had to be dug. The
discovery altogether has excited great in-
terest.—Wilts and Gloucester Standard.

Repulsed.
A clerical tramp, one of the begging
letter Pecksniffs so often met with in
London, called q,t Spurgeon’s house, but
refused to give his name. “Say, if you
please,” said the tramp with upturned
eyes, “a servant of Christ asks for a few
moments of his precious time.” The
butler came back immediately with the
reply, “Mr. Spurgeon requests me to say
that he is occupied with your master.”—
San Francisco Argonaut.
The Relationship.
Redfield was frequently at Hatfield,
and among other anecdotes relates one
told him by Lady Salisbury of a house-
keeper who, on going around with a
party, pointed out a portrait as Cathe-
rine de Medici, sister of Venus de Medici.
—London Spectator.
Why Oysters Have to Be Cultivated.
The oyster, though a very prolific
shellfish and widely distributed, has so
many enemies and is so helpless to de-
fend itself when young and tender, that
its chance of escaping extinction rests
almost wholly upon its cultivation and
care by artificial methods. This fact
has come to be so generally recognized
in recent times that all nations on whose
shores this delicious bivalve grows have
legislated on its behalf and made many
experiments for increasing its numbers.
In spite, however, of all that has been
done for it, there is still a curious di-
versity of opinion as to its nature and
habits. Whether it is hermaphroditic
or bisexual has been warmly discussed,
each contention having earnest adher-
ents.—Joel Benton in Drake’s Magazine.
His Fortune.
Wealth and poverty are relative
terms, as almost every one must have
learned by his own experience. Many a
man who now thinks twenty dollars a
week pretty small wages can remember
the time when he felt rich with half that
sum.
A citizen of Westerly, R. I., says the
historian of the town, enlisted as a pri-
vateer during one of the early wars of
the country. It was perilous business,
but patriotic feelings and visions of gold
carried the day with him.
His cruise was long and eventful, but
at last he returned home and received an
appropriate welcome. As soon as the
first greetings were over, his mother in-
quired:
“Well, Harry, how have you made
out? Did you get much money?”
“Oh, yes, mother; good luck. I am
rich. I shall have enough, with pru-
dence in the care of it, to carry me
through life, I hope.”
“I am glad, my son; but how much
did you get?”
“Well, I don’t know exactly, but I
think when we settle up l shall have as
much as thirty dollars. ”
Seemed Like Amos.
Silas Rodes was a strong, hard work-
ing farmer; his brother Amos was a con-
firmed invalid who, three or four times
a year, had “spells” of expecting to die,
but, nevertheless, always managed to
live. Still, he was really ill, and many-
thought him to be in considerable danger.
But, while Amos was sick and expect-
ing to die, it chanced that the strong
Silas did actually die very suddenly. A
messenger carried the sad news to his
sister Elvira, a grim spinster, who lived
in a distant part of the town.
She heard the message with some in-
credulity.
“ ’Taint Silas ye mean; it’s Amos,” she
said in reply.
“Why, no,” answered the messenger.
“I mean Silas. Amos is all right. It’s
Silas that is dead.”
“Wai, p’r’aps it’s so,” was the reluctant
rejoinder, “but I wouldn’t ha’ b’leeved
it o’ Silas; ’t seems a good deal more like
Amos.”—Youth’s Companion.
Water Is Cheap.
In the old days when water was car-
ried around on carts the price per barrel
was nine cents. That price did not seem
exorbitant; was thought cheap. Now
the cost to the consumer is about one-
third of a cent per barrel—thirty barrels
for ten cents. And at that rate the city
makes large profits. Out of these profits
is paid the cost of pipe extensions and
renewals and of various other matters,
and still there remains untouched reve-
nue amounting to nearly $600,000. The
rate of profit will rapidly increase in the
future, inasmuch as a great deal of
piping has been done in advance of pop-
ulation. Vacant spaces will henceforth
be filled in with improvements and peo-
ple rather than new spaces acquired.
Extensions of the water service in many
directions and to extreme distances are
therefore nearly complete and perma-
nent.—Chicago Herald.

Marine Notes.
Two steamships now loading from
lighters, the Charrington and Bentala
are expected to finish today and go to
sea.
" The steamer Emily R. arrived from
Brazos this morning with freight and
passengers.
The British steamship Manin has her
“Bluepeter” up and expects to sail this
evening
The Mallory liner Nueces got away
yesterday afternoon. She was scheduled
to sail on Tuesday morning.
The Mallory steamship San Marcos
will get away during the afternoon and
Leona of the same line is expected in.
The fruit steamer Breifond arrived
from Bocas del Toro, isthmus of Pana-
ma, about 7 o’clock last night.
The schooner Fair Wind is loaded at
Morgan City with ties for Galveston and
is the only vessel known to have made
the run eastward during the lately pre-
vailing easterly winds.
The schooner Pat Christian, recently
beached near Lafitte grove, has been
floated by George Murray and success-
fully brought into this port, where she
is now lying in the stream, apparently
none the worse for her late mishap.
The entire coasting fleet left yesterday
for eastern ports, the wind having
changed to the north, which gave them
the first opportunity to do so for nearly
three weeks. Among them were the
schooners George Ball, A. J. Perkins,
James Andrew, Rapella and Caroline.
I
Honest Regret.
Little five-year-old Arthur had been
sent into the country to stay three
months at his grandpa’s. It was bitter
March weather, too cold even for the
lad to see out of doors, for the windows
were coated with thick white frost.
“Can I go outdoors today, grandma?”
bravely asked the lad, as he came down
stairs the second morning after his ar-
rival. “No, of course not. You must
stay right here by the fire, where it is
warm.”
The boy sighed and began playing
with the cat. “Arthur,” commanded
one of the three maiden aunts, “get up,
quick; you will soil your stockings.” Spanish ss Ida.
The young nephew obeyed without pro- ---
test. But it was rather lonesome, and
pretty soon he tried the organ.
“Arthur,” commanded aunt No. 2,
“stop that noise immediately. Your
grandpa wants to read.” Again the
youthful visitor obeyed. This time he
went to the window and began scratch-
ing the frost off with a pin so that he
could see out. “Arthur,” instructed
aunt No. 3, “stop that! Come away
from the window.”
Arthur stepped back from the window,
put his hands in his pockets, looked first
at the spectacled grandparents, then at
at the*three aunts poised about the room
like statues on a pedestal, and said, “If I
didn’t have to live here I’d be glad.”—
