A Just Retribution.
The other day a, well-dressed Rtranger,
carrying a hnnc! valle, called Into a
life Insurance offlco and Inquired If the
Agent was In. The agent camw for
ward, rubbing his hands, and tliu
stranger asked :
''Do jou take Ufa Insurance risks
hero J"
"Ye?, sir, glad to pee you, sir sit
down, sir," replied the agent,
"What do ynu think of life Insur
ance, anyway?" Inquired tho stranger
as he sat down and took off his hat,
"It's a national blessing, sir an In stitution
which U looked upon with
sovereign favor by every enlightened
man apd woman In America."
"That's what I have always thought,'
answered the man. "Does your com
pany pay lu losses promptly 1"
"Yes, sir yes, sir. If you were In.
uured wth me, and you should die to
night, I'd hand your wife a check
within a week."
"Couldn't ask far anything bettor
than that."
"No, sir no, sir. The motto of our
company Is, 'Prompt pay and honorable
dealing I"
"How much will a $5,000 policy
cost?" inquired tho stranger after a
long pause.
"l'ou are let's seo say thirty-five.
A policy on you would cQst$H0tho
first year."
"That's reasonable enough."
"Yes, that's what we call low; but
ours Is a strong company, does a safo
business, and Invests In only first class
securities. If you are thinking of tak
ing out a policy, let me tell you that
purs is the best and the safest, and that
even the agents of rival companies will
admit the truth of what J say.''
"And when I dlo my wife will got
her money without any troublo ?"
"I'll guarantee that, my dear sir?"
"And I'll get a dividend every
year ?"
"Yesj this Is a mutual company, and
part of the profits gome back to policy
holders," "And it won't cost me but $110 for a
policy of $5,000.
"Tl(at'B the figure, and Its as low as
you can get safe insurance anywhere.
Let mo write .you a policy. You'll
never regret it."
"Them's the blanks, I s'pose?" said
the stranger, pointing to the blanks.
"Yes," said the agent, as he hauled
one up to him and took up a pen.
"What do you say shall J fill out the
application?"
"No, I guess I won't take nny to
day," replied the stranger, as he un
locked his valse; "but If you want
something that will take that wart off
your nosu inside a week, I've got it
right hero I It's good for corns, bun
ions, the toothache, sprains ."

A Singular Experience.
We find the following In the Dover
(N. II.) Enquirer: Some eight years
ago a lad of thirteen, a son of Charles
E. Meyers, a well known citizen of
Portsmouth, while fishing from onp of
the warves of that city caught a fish
hook In tho fore finger of tho right
hand, near the roots of tho nail, draw
Ing It Into the bend of tho hook, Ills
father saw at onco that the only thing
to ha done was to open the fincucr on a
line with tho hook and tako it out, but
preferred to call In their family physl
clan to do It. after looking at It for a
moment tho Doctor, by a sudden twist,
wrenched the hook from the fingor,
minus the barb and point. The parents
wero justly Indignant at such rough
treatment, and insisted th.it tho hook
was not al removed, whllo the boy
camo near fainting from oxtreme an
Kulsh, The Doctor, however, Insisted
that no Inconvenlenco would result.and
dressed tho finger in somp sme and
safo manner and lu due time the wound
,e?,e, ' Buttl'eflieerandarm troub
led him for a long time. After a year
or two the lad's health had so far failed
M to become a subject of serious alarm
to his friends, ho belntt subject to fro
quent and alarming fainting fits, and
other spasmodic affections or symptoms.
This slate Qf affairs continued for years
with more Intensity until n year or two
PRO, when the boy's health became
nearly or ou,,ere8tore(li In thoSpr
or 1874 the young mn, while dressing
' mieir one morning tore a pimplofrom
his left shoulder, and, on examining It.
he drew from the flesh the point of the
hook which seven years before was Ira.

all that before. When before the Judge,
the man had no difficulty In proving
that ho was a M. X., mlllonnire.nnd
the owner of a large city property. Ills
only fault was that he wore shabby
clothes. This brings up a story of that
scnslblo lunntlc, as they used to call
tho Pjio de Grammont-Caderoussa n
few years ago. This gentleman w.ts n
wild blade, It H true, but yet a good
fellow n uvpry penso of tho word, a
grfliid seigneur, polite and kindly, but
often given to eccentricities and to acts
of the wildest extravagances, lie was
tho early friend of Mile. Hortenso
Schneider, nnd the Duke did a good deal
to for her during her first yeurs upon
the stage. He committed sucdo ntthe
age of thirty-two. One evening a party
of young men were dining at the Maison
d'Or, when the Duko, gave expression
to a number of democratic theories, and
his comrades accused him of too great a
fondness for tho people. After having
answered according to his conscience,
tho Due do Grammont said: "Very
well, gentlemen, I will bet you that,
without having any reason whatever
thereof, the police will arrest me with
in an hour."
"Without you doing anything?" ask
ed one.
"Without doing anything to Justify
tio arrest."
"Done for fifty .louiel"
As there was no time to lose, Cader
ousse Jumped Into a cap and rodo to the
temple and came back In tho most sorr

Tho old, greay cap upon his head, the
pantaloons In rags, the old shoes brok
en at tho toes, and the greasy coat gavo
him the air of a miserable. IIo black
ed is face and grimed his hands, then
begged his comrades to follow to wit
ness the arrest. They followed him to
a cafe ou tho Boulevard Polssoniere,
where tho Duke seated himself at a ta
ble with a sidelong, sneaking motion,
and after a moment callsd to the wait
er: "Garcon, bring mo a bottlo of ckam
pagnel" The waiter hesitated, looked at his
clothes aud then said:
"But, mon bonhouime, that coits
twelve francs."
"Well, supposo It does, grumbled
Caderousse, do you think I havn't the
means of paying?'
And as ho said this he drew from one
of his dirty pockets a package of bank
bill and laid 40,000 franks down before
tho astonished waiter. The latter ran
for his patron, nnd was sent nt ouce lor
the sergeants de vllle, who took tho
Duko Into custody upon suspicion of
having soien money upon his person.
The other young men lollowed, and
heard a curious dialogue between tho
also voyon and tho officer, the latter
tayng that he was not to be taken In
by such tales aud that he must explain
how ho came by the money beforo M. lo

"Jonslour. I am the Due de Gram

prove It, nnd it only remains for me to
