that he was for a number of years
employed by a tea house in England
as a professional "taster," at a salary
of .0(1(1 a year. He came to the Unit-
ed States in 1878, and ilt ouoe settled
in Detroit. His first place otemgloy-
u ent was at A. W. CoplaniVs store. in
the Russell house block, where the
Bazaar now is. When that situation

Samuel Il,. Bateson, merchant tailor,
with whom he remained until May 6,
1877. Since that time, according to
his own nceo•rnt, Wilson has been out
of employment, and be asserted to a
reporter of the Frio Press yesterday,
that he had eaten nothing but two
sandwiches in eight days.
'What induced you to steal those
boots ?' inquired the reporter.
'To tell you the honest truth,, he re-
plied, •I was very hungry; I went in-
to the Y. M. C. A. braiding and smelled
the food' cooking in the restaurant, and

to eat. The result was that 1 tock two
books, as I have done under exactly

Do yea m san to say that you have
Millen books at other times at the

ent.
It's too true. I realize my position
fully ; but it seems to me that there
on ;ht to be some more humane method
of punishment than the disgrace of
imprisonment as a common felon. I
know–I admit I am guilty of stealing.
I sou also guilty of hunger. To cure
one evil I applied another, and you see

'have you tried to pet work ?'
*Indeed I have tried,' ho answered.
'They say there's plenty of work in
the country among the farmers.' I
have travelled days and days on foot iu
the last month trying to get work in the
fields ; but the farmers either do not
want to hire tabor or they thick I can't
work. I am willing to do anything,
• but God knows a man can't starve.

.cad after a momentary survey of the
great cataracts,Dr. Stein asked if there
were any carriages to be a:een upon the,
bridge in either direction, The boy
looked and answered no, "Is there
any one in sight at any part of the
bridge ?" inquired the old gentleman.
"There is no one at all," said the boy
after a,sherp look. At the same in-
stant Dr Stein seized the bey, and en-
deavored to throw him over the railing
of the bridge. The lad screamed with
all the energy he possessed, and by
clinging to the timbers defeated the ob
ject of his insane companion. Mr.
Tooker consilers it wonderful that any
sound could be heard shave the roar of
the Falls. Perhaps the struggles ot the
man to throw, and the boy, to save him-
self, caused the bridge to oscillate to a
marked degree ; at any rate, the at-
tendants of the bridge at each of the
shore ends rushed out and made for
the rescue. This Dr. Stein perceived,
let go of his well nigh exhausted vic-
tim, climbed to the top of the railing,
and, without a word, sprang into the
misty air, and the unfathomable pool
down below, In falling he struck one
of the bridge guys, which, springing
from the concussion, threw the dis-
tracted more up stream and changed
his attitude from a nearly upright to a
prone position. With arms ind legs
extended as if swimming.be fell flat on
the turbulent green -hued waters of
the Niagara, and that was the last of
him, although a thousand dol-
lars reward has been offered for the re-
covery of the body, and hundreds have
looked for it night and day since. not a
vestige of it has come to the, sur face.
A leading maxim with almost every
politician is always to keep Ms is'unte-
nance, and never to keep his word.
'Shall I have your hand ?' said an
exquisite to a belle, es the dance was
about to commence. 'With all my
heart,' was the soft response.

daughter twenty years younger than
