DICK POOLE'S JUMP. Dick Poole's father came of a stock me rooies or t'oolesarra of hard cr.nkers and hard riders, who were never Known to do a useful thing or u uuiuuu net, ana who were conse- Muvuuy very popular with the tenants. It need scarcely be eald that Poolegar ra was in Ireland, and that the system of management pursued by the owners was such as to reduce the dimensions of the estate, until, when It came to the hero of this tale, there was little left vi me ancestral acres, Hut Dick Poole cared naught for this. As long as he had the privilege of fishing and shoot lng over the old place (and the new comers never refused him), and could procure enough money from his agent to get drunk as often as he liked, he let the world wag. and saw the proper ty slide from him with the equanimity of an lmpecunlo;:s philosopher. Ho had been weaned, so to speak, upon the bott:e. When a boy, his father used to encourage him to sip stilt Punch from a tumbler specially reduc ed In dimensions to suit his tender years. A gun was made for him with a similar view to the fitness of things, when he grew up he was presented with a larger tumbler and a bigger gun. On one occasion he rode a steeple-chase, and when he came In a win ner, his father delightedly exclaimed, 'Dick, I'm prouder of you this mo ment than if you wrote the Bible." His education was supposed to have been amply provided for when he could hold his own with the hounds and dis tinguish himself with a gun in tho bogs or the stubbie. j I he consequence of this hereditary course of training was that Dick be came a dead shot, and possessed of a wonderful head for whiskey. He dis posed of (aim after farm of his es tate, until at length there was nothing lix. him but the old house, which ho stuck to. mm an old retainer, Dan Do herty. who clung to his fortunes with a fidelity which might be djscrlbed as melodramatic. Poole, of course, from hii, habits, was not a welcome gue.it aiiiong the country families, though they universally admitted his right to i.rsider himself of their eaet. lie kept U) however, a custom of visiting the c Jei-s who were stationed at a small garrison town In the neighborhood, aud It was. at their mess, to which he was invited, that the circumstances at oae, the sequel of which rendered his le a household word throughout tne province. During dinner Poole conducted him sen well enough. He was fortunately "tAI- iu a quiet sucking ensign: uui wnen the claret was disposed of tvnAn 1 l . . "ucu l"c major lert the room, and strong waters were called on, Poole laid himself out, as was usual with mm, xor a hard nigiit. A few of tho "cu, seeing me rate at which he went, calculated on putting him under the tsMe; but before Dick had shown the slightest token of ui.duo exhilaration several of his entertainers were talking thickly and laughing loudly. Hunting and Ehootlng stories were exchanged with a crescendo of mendacity on the part of the narrators as the night ad vanced. Dick had set them ali In a roar by describing how ha had shot down every bird In a covey save cue iiu i ieic mm, ' shouted Dick, breed!" At length the upon swimming. Talk.ng about swimming." put in roo.e, 'do you know the cliffs at the seaside of Poolegarra? I'll bet any -man that I'll Jump off the highest pari . those cliffs, and carry another feller,- on my tack." Uli1yir3al bl,rst of laughter, and cries of "Take you up, old boy! How much can you book for?" greeted this insane challenge. KlrtLhenr ,th! "oise ha1 somewhat sub sided, Lieutenant Browne, the senior LhL-?uceda i stuu to jjick: " you are ferious.

Lieutenant Browne evnressed himself well to win: 'ofr if the foot should be mad enough to attempt such a thing himself, there la no one living who would be Idiot enough to go on his back, thought he. Next morning Poole told Dan Doherty how he en! then1" " and then mUe.ly men'k-eJ the bet as if be made nothing of it. Dan for a few seconds could not speak a word, for horror and surpii.se; at last be man aged :r stammer out: "CM-. Master Dick, Master Dick, what ever t.rl ye make by it? u it out av yer s.nsen ye are intirely?" "Ku, you old goore. I'm not out of 1T.7 te::tes," replied Poole. "I want to 'ia a hundred pounds, and; what's jr.ore, Dan," he went on. coaxinsly "you must help me to win it " "Bc-gorra Ulln 1 won't!" 'burst out Dan, with rebe'lious Krv ..t... saru-d you, man r.nd boy, this many a year; out hand or part or fut or, h.i. make such a wager w'thoiit taking care 'hat I fhoulti have nn advantage over t'r.ete English boobies?

The eventful moraln.s arrived a co d. gray morning It was, iu July.

Tint Individual had uiifady iKSio mlsivins touching the oraer of pioceedlug; and when Dick peremptorily ordered h'm to take oft h'.s clothes, he showed decided svmp tc.is of his courage oozing, like' that of ,Mrb Acres, from his fingers' ends. Poole, however, whispered a fpw re us.irlng words in his ear. "Besides." r??:rctrl Dan, as his teeiTi chattered wiih the fi'sht and cold, "I've tould the pollss meseif. for fer.r iv any mis take.

Dun prolonged his unrobing ns much cs i cssible; but at length he stood trftnibllo In cuerpo, and bii'ore he couHl distinctly realize the situation he fouad himself oa his master's back. Glancing over his shoulder In mortal terror, he saw the gleJ caps of the police aproaching. "Are they couilog, Dan?" whispered Dick, softly. l s, master dear, yls; only hold on for n minit." "Are they very near?" "Quite close, yer honor." responded Dan, now becoming easy in h!s ml.-irt. At this moment a constable ran for ward, Lroaking from the olilcera who tried to intercept him. lint what .

"Some pennies are worth a good deal of money," said a dealer In coins, the other day, to a Brooklyn Eagle re porter. "If you come across nu old collection of copper cents In an out of the way corner, you will do well to ex amine their dates carefully. From tho j oint of view of the numismatist their value depends largely upon their con dition. For example, for a cent of 17S9, in a fair slate of preservation. we pay five dollars; but for a speci men of tho same issue in first-rate con dition we would pay from ten to twen-ty-flve dollars and for a perfect cent ot 1799 that Is, a bright and sharp as the day it was coined we will pay one hundred dollars.

Gold and silver coins may bo rinsed, not wash ed, In hot water and soap. Copper coins should be placed In swcot oil only to remove grease and dirt. Acids and scouring will ruin any coin of worth.
