Stock Exchange business through an . outride broker. With alibis astuteness. . he Bhared the idicyiicrasy of many A eieer people, oi beuig soniewnat care lees about tbis private affairs, and the - plowing advertisements of Messrs. Vant & Slowbody had proved irresistible. ' He had not idone badly by the firm, upon the whole, when one morning he learned to bis great disgust that the junior part-1 ' net nac! disappeared after com nutting eztensiTe defalcations. ' i ! . Mr. Oimblet, fortunately,, had reoent ly realized nearly all ; his securities and 'f -duly received payment. There remained balance due, to him, but it "was not .'efy much, and if the failure of Messrs, ' ' Tant & jSlowbody had occurred in the T ordinary way, he would have borne his loss with equanimity. But, according . to the reports published! in the newspa y pent, it; appeared that the misfortune had been entirely brought about by the V jftagrantr dishonesty of Mr. Slowbody, : who had taken advantage of his senior's ' temporary absence to abscond with an enormous sum of money, and had ap parently oontrived to get clear away yjHh his booty. The greatest sympathy :4 .'ripreesed for Mr. Vant, who had i&stened home on hearing the startling ' news, 6nly to find himself utterly , ' ruined.

' "Anything "you have to sug gest will receiveHhe most careful atten tion." - r Mr. Qimblet wended his way home ard in a Very thonghtful frame of mind y after this interview. The fact was that ne felt completely myshhed by Mr. Vant's behavior; While that gentieman Was making his statement to his credit ors, the ex-detective had been struck by a sudden suspicion that he was acting tk part. The idea came to him with tna force and suddenness which he hod learned from experience to associate with a happy inspiration. ; The great se cret of Mr. Gimblet'e success in his pe culiar line of business was a singular knack of forming a correct conclusion without the process of reasoning. He was by no means wanting in logical per ception, but he was frequently aided in his investigations by a sort of intuition which put him on the right track when others were vainly groping in the dark. He had instinctively mistrusted Mr. v ii tiuui tuo tuvuicn uo ut'iuuiruuci his speech, and when the proceedings lermmaiea ne ieis nnpeiiea to engage hini in conversation in order tofruage his character. He had no difficulty in this, for Mr, Vant's demeaiior had not been calculated to inspire7 confidence. In fact, Mr. Qimblet had'a very strong impression that, in spite of direct evi dence to the contrary, the gentleman was no more entitled to sympathy than his defaulting partner. When he came to consider the details, however, Mr. Gimblet was inclined to mistrust his opinion. It was quite clear that Mr. Slowbody had decamped as al leged, and had involved his partner inj rum. xne report oi tne aocountains, a firm of high standing, proved indisputa bly not only that Mr. Slowbody bad robbed his clients but also he had pledged troperty belongmg to Mr. Vant, 1 besides appopriating the whole of their I joint capital The statement of aflaira j disclosed the most shameful frauds on j ajne part oi Mr. Biowbody, in none of i i .ich was there tha alforhtoat iii.u Vr,a BHO" m.r. vant nad been impu tMed.

"I want you to make a few inquiries about a Mr. ant," said Mr, Gimblet, thoughtfully drawing crosses with his pen on his blotting-pad. "Is that the gentleman who has been swindled by his partner 1" ' "Yes. The matter doesn't press at all; any time will do. Juat find; out when he. left Biarritz, and what day he re ceived in Paris the news of Ids partner's disappearance. Ton may be able to get it from one of the servants." , .Aiter this Mr. Gimblet dismissed the subject from his mind, having more im portant business on hand. He learned . . U A . . . . . . w from the newspapers that no clue had been obtained as to the. whereabouts of the defaulting partner, and it seemed pretty certain that he had made good his escape. At length his subordinate re minded him of the mission he had in trusted to him. "WelL what have vou ascertained ?'. "I made the acquaintance of the gen- ' o raioa, but, wnu auuuoipaniea tne family to Biarritz." - "Yes r "Every one in dophain sympathizes very much with Mr. Vant.

"You may tell that to the marines. sir," said Mc Gimblet, with a wink. "Do you mind my telling you a little story ?" ; ' "What about ?" murmured Mr. Vant "About two friends of mine call 'em Smith and Jones," began Mr. Gimblet, quite cheerfully. "Smith and 'Jones were in-business together, but things went from bad to wotao till nothing re mained but to' shut up shop. But Smith, who was an enterprising fellow, proposed to-Jones to raise all the money thewjould, to collar every tning they could iay their hands on, and to make a boll? : Nothing of the kind ! nothing of the kind I gasped Mr. Vant ; J.llfc J OHS JlAQ & j that," resumed Mr. better idea than "He Giniblet- suggested instead that Smith should do as he proposed, find leave him behind.

Mrs. liinooln, of the Boston Cooking School, tells these stories of stupid wo men: It chanced that one afternoon some wooden spoons, such as Mrs. Lincoln uses, had been ordered by her for vari ous ladies who had wished to buy them.

Another pupil was much excited bv the faot that when it was desirable to in crease the beat of the gas range the jets in the chandelier were lowered. "Why," demanded this bewildered fe male in an awes track tone, "whv does she have to fry her croquettes in the dark?" ' - She evidently thought the frying of croquettes to be a religious rite which demanded a dim and mystic light for its proper pursuanoe. Yet another intelligent questioner but this was in the old days 'of Miss Parloa propounded this oounmdrum, with all the gravity which befitted its weight: "Miss Parloa, my family is so large that one-loaf of angel cake is not enough. Now, if I want to make two loaves, must I double the quantity of materials?"

The census, of 1880 shows that the agricultural workers, all told, number 7,670,493, Of these 2,323,876 a,ro counted as Wage workers, the rtwt being farmers, etc. Strange to say the amount paid, for wages is not given in the last census; but, using the figures given in the census of 1870, we find the wage-workers then only got an average of $53 per year; add to this $100 for board and we have the average wage of farm hands as onlv $153 per year. Yet these men all have votes, and they vote lawyers into nearly all place of profit and power. There are by tho last census only 6037 lawyers in the United States. The very poorest public office which lawyers fill is worth $1,000 per year, and from that up to J udges and Commissioners, which get $5, QUO to $16,000 per year. Those offices and those wages are voted by the farm workers whose wages are as above mentioned. - . v ; . : If the farmers ean stand that soil of thing the lawyers ,ean., - But one wonders why a Clerk of a Court should get five k . fifty . times : nore than a far mer. -J its tice.

The alkaline matter existing in snow ana in rain unaei certain condi tions of the atmosphere worts , through the best coatings, and reaches the iron. Varnish,, as ordinarily laid 01, is objec tionable, as it gives a gun, a " Brumma gem " lpoJc The best plan it the follow ing : Heat the barrels to the temperature of boiling water (not any hotter, or you may injure them), and rib them with the best copal varnish, giving them a plentiful coating. Let them remain hot half an hour, and then vipe them clean with a soft rag In tideway you can get enough of the varnish into the pores of the' metal to act as a preservative ; at the same time, no oae would suspect that the barrels had ever been touched with varnish. We hve applied boiled oil, beeswax, parafhae, and some other substances in the same way, and ob tained good results ; but, on the whole, we find nothing better , than good copal varnish. - ; - ' . i Djcath to - Moths. A . housekeeper writes to ah Eastern contemporary: "It gives me pleasure to inform you what will entirely exterminate, root out and destroy every moth, or egg of moth, whether in clothes, carpets or furniture. I have a large house, full of the richest carpets, all very woolly, also rich" furni ture, all of which has been in use since 1875, and not a moth has been seen at this date. Bnt the first year we moved in we had nillions, although everything was new. Twice a year I take turpen tine and a paint brush and saturate the edges of the carpets all around, move all the furniture, and get . at the dark and dusty corners, and in dark' closets I rub the brush all over, if car peted. For ricl furniture, take paper and wet it with turpentine, and nail the paper under the sofas and chairs. The smell of this will drive out the moths and kill tieir eggs. To protect clothes, rub the brush over the bottom of your trunks or drawers, and put paper with' turpentine on around the furs or clothes. You know that turpentine is harmless, being nude from pine, and often used for cleaning carpets and clothes. It will rajher brighten the colorof carpets than otherwise." , A. Friend of Conover's.

The Columbia public have heard as read of the wonderful power at the con ' mand of the now famous Miss Ltd ; Hurst, of Georgia. This young ladj who is apparently "sweet sixteen," ha a very pleasant face and is of admirabl contour, but displays no muscular powe.' -superior to others of her sex, ana as she appeared upon the stage at the Opera house last night no one would have : dreamed that she could push and twirl stalwart men at her pleasure. A number of prominent citizens were invited to the stage to witness the per- formance, and yet others to take part therein. Age and youth, strength' and :grip, weight and endurance, skepticism and, we had almost said credulity, were represented on the stage. The. assort ment of mind and muscle was as won- Iderful as the phenomenon. I Miss Hurst placed her hand upon a billiard cue, while a gentleman held it with a vise-like grip, and in a moment: be would be dancing about the floor-,. while Miss 'Hurst, with no apparent ef- fort, would drive him all over the stage. She held the cue, and several gentlemen mado futile efforts to forcefjne.sdtft Wthe ttftelt 'tSiiopen umbreUa in her hom J yile a gentleman held the handle with''H;ji hands, and in a few moments Miss llurst would have him cavorting over the stage, and finally forced him behind the wings. This she repeated with several gentlemen. Miss Hurst held a chair with one hand and gave a number of gentlemen repeated trials to force it to the floor, in whioh , they ' invariably- failed, bnt when one, two, and three gentlemen , would Tiold the chair Miss Hurst would with one hand and no exertion gently press it to the floor. One stout citizen went npon i the stage with an air of confidence which made the audience reel that ; Misa Hurst had met her match, but she twirled him over and off the stage with marvelous -ease, and apparently with- the ideav of making more sport of him than of much , smaller men. , Miss Hurst, by simply placing , palms of her hands against the main ; rights, moved a chair and the gentler;' occupying it back and forth on t stage. Many attempts to put the chail t to the floor while Miss Hurst held it were utter failures; but the most won derful feature of the entertainment was the final act. - Miss Hurst , held a chair with ono hand, and two ' gentlemen could not-' force it to the floor; three, four, six, eight, and ten gentlemen, re minding one of the pchool-boy play of "more weight on the crate, f all crowded on the Chair, but made a complete fail ure in their combined efforts to press it to the stage.. The entire performance was a wonderful exhibition of an unac countable power, and the immense au dience were delighted and amazed, Columbia liLOHeaister. i NETER TOO IlTB TO MEND. A Tender C'onscieaee Caases ftieaey ta lald te the Caeteaas OfflctaJa. Oharles Reade maintains that" it ia '"never too late to mend." t The records of the New Ywk Ctastdm-house illustrate the 'theory of the novelist. In May, 1882, a check for $87 came to hand from a troubled individual who had imported ' silks, laces, and linens in 1873, and which he then believed to be free, but had since discovered to be dutiable to to that amount; $50 to correct an under valuation arrived the week before. Col lector Schell once received $1,600 from a burdened conscience, the owner of which requested, him to i acknowledge the receipt in v daily paper; whioh he did. Smaller sums appear in the list of the Conscience Fund, such as 836. $10. $7.27. Most commendable of all is an item of $10 transmitted to :the Collector by an inspector, into whose Docket it had been thrust by a passenger. Tender conscience or something else would not -allow it to stay there, and the bribe was "covered into the Treasury. " Collector Robertson received in the month of October, 1882, a check for $10,000 from a most excellent merchant' whose clerk, unknown to him, had defrauded the government of about that sum bv under valuations. The fact of undervaluation had not been suspected at the Custom house, and the length of time that had elapsed since ii took place had placed ue loss peyona tne limits of legal re covery. ; "' v .. -J, 8tranAT School teaoher "Tommv. why did Pharaoh kill the boy babies of the Hebrews and not; the girls t", Torbmy "Please, air, wasn't it beoaosa Pharaoh objected only to Hebrews and noitoShebrews?' ..--H y".
