"Ttit're have been litletly extra-
ordinary stories told of the inyenui•
ty of thieves in the [,u1 suit of their
nefarious calling, hut M case which
or•rnrrt(1 while I was at Chatham
recently heats anything 1 ever
heard," remarked a nuwly•arrived
Englishman.
"A girl was brought before the
police court on the charge of robbing
milliners' shops. She was only
fourteen years of age and of very
innocent appearance. "What puzzled
the magistrate was that none of the
w•Itne&Hee ever saw her take any•
thing, or at least they would not
swear 10 it, although after she had
left a shop where she had been
articles of value were missed,
"When arrested nothing was
found upon her, The Magistrate
said lie could not convict the girl on
mere suspicion, and there bt'gan to
cross examine her himself in a kind,
fatherly way, which touched her
heart, and 811e broke down 81,l coil.
fessed that, she was guilty, and
explained her methods to the
astonishment and amazement of the
court and spectators.
It seems that she had a tame
white rat which she carried about
with her in a Muff. She .would
enter a shop full of girls and worsen
and ask the price of 801110 article,
and while looking at it drop the
rodent on the floor.
"Anyone can imagine the result.
Those near the door dashed into the
street., while the employes jumped
on the counters and chairs, wrapping
their petticoats tight round their
ankles, and 'screamed like mad' as
the prisoner expressed it, amid the
laughter of the court, in spite of
the assurance that the rat was quite
tame.
"In the scrimmage elle would
help herself to what she wanted,
catch the rat in her muff, apologize,
and walk oil. The magistrate said
that on account of her youth, and
a9 14118 had voluntarily confessed to
the thefts, he would give her one
more chance, and bound her over in
the suns of £50 to conte up for
judgment when called for.
"Of course her friends soon enter•
ed the required bonds, and Mary
Barton will have to find 80me other
place to practice on the weakness of
her sex. The t.arne rat dodge won't
work in Chatham any longer."
A WOMAN OF NERVE AND BUSINESS
ABILITY.
Mrs. A. H. Perrine, the Alabama
woman who helped to capture the
Fulton county murderer, Jim
Richardson, in Alabama, about a
week ago, 18 a remarkable character.
She owns and runs a plantation of
2,000 acres in Randall county, Ala.,
in the very heart of the negro belt.
[ler executive power is something
wonderful. There are few men who
could profitably and successfully
take her place rte manager. She
rules like a dictator. Last year she
ginned 600 bales of cotton, running
the engine herself. She is a notably
handsome woman, superbly made,
with a face indicating intelligence
and masculine determination and
nerve,
She never has serious troul,le
With dal turbulent ,cud unruly
negroes upon the plantation, is
thoroughly feitlIlia' with every de-
tail of farm work, works herself
and personally euperintends all the
labor, and wakes one of the most
successful planters to be found iii
the state. Her promise is good for
an order of $5,000 at the store, and
her business obligations are always
discharged promptly.
I "I didn't think it would do much
good to ask an unknown woman to
help arrest a negro murderer," re-
marked Sergeant Osburn, yesterday,
"but she fooled me. 1 have seen
police and detectives before, but 1
never Saw one that could beat her.
"1 knew very little about her,
except that her note is good for
almost any antouut down there, and
elle is the nerviest woman I ever
saw. Not one elan in 10,000 could
manage those laborers as she does.
At work on the plantation, they
tell ate, she wears short skirts,
reaching to her knees and rides and
works like a man. She is plain–
spoken and rather masculine in her
ideas, but she bears a good °tlar„e.
ter in every way and is respected
by her neighbors.
"Slee is a mystery. She lives on
her plantation apart from the world,
and don't ask any odds of anybody.
She is a remarkably handsome
woman, and would attract favorable
etteutiou in any crowd. You cer-
tainly wouldn't thinit, to look at
her picture. that she run the engine
lest year and gluued 600 hales of
her own cotter).
WIIAT AN ENIGMA IS WOMAN'S HEART
When the Atlantic express arriv
ed yesterday morning, among those
who alighted here was a couple who
seemed to be in a great hurry to get
off. The pair alighted from differ
e11t eeL'tlnlla of the train and were
apparently strangers, for each went
out by different wage. One wag a
young woman, stylishly dressed,
whose bearing indicated refinement.
She was about twenty-two years of
age, tall and good looking as far as
could be discerned through the hea-
vy veil which partially concealed
her features. 011 alighting from the
train she walked into the hall of
the depot and passed swiftly through
to the porch beyond,
The other was a Blatt heavy set
and with coarse features, intensified
by the shining black hat which he
carried ,jauntily 011 one side cf his
!lead. A diamond pin blazed from
a crimson necktie only partly visible
from out his closely fitting black
coat, which exposed to view the
ends of a pair of checked trousers
and the No. 12 shoes of as shady -
looking a colored elan an ever came
in on a train. Graspiug a couple
gripsacks in each hand he passed out
through the exit and reached the
porch.
In any ther moment the soft,
yielding form of the young girl was
clasped in that of the ebony -hued
character; his heavy lips were
brought into contact with her rosy
cheek, a few remarks quickly ex-
changed, and tete ill•assorted pair
walked quickly away and disappear-
ed from view. All the information
that could he obtained about either
was that they cause from Fort
Wayne, Ind.
LOVERS SEPARATED 13Y A KISS.
A nephew of Justice Lamar, Mr.
Cooke Faruum, now a prominent
attorney at Santa Paula, Cal, create
ed a sensation. He was to be
married to Miss Emma E. Layton
at 259 Waverly avenue, Columbus,
Ohin, an aristocratic section of the
east end, hut. at noon, when the
guest,: had arrived, the prospective
hush -ed coolly sent two letters say-
ing gleet he could not till his engage-
ment. Ili the letters he said that
he had concluded not to marry her,
and that lie did not want to marry
anyone whose affections were divid-
ed. In one letter from Springfield
he naid that, "Ere this reaches
you I will be dealt in some ignoble
way." Mis Layton became acquaints
ed with F'arnunl two years ago,
when he was a resident of Atlanta,
Ga., and an engagement soon fol.
lowed.
Last Sunday a large leutnher of
Miss Layton's friends called at the
house and bide her good-bye. In
the evening, while her affianced was
there, a young gentleman called.
When ho left i\liss Layton assisted
him in putting on his overcoat, and
said good-bye to him, when the
young man took hold of her and,
drawing her to him, kissed her fare-
well. The young lady did not think
anything of this, as she felt toward
the young man as a sister. But this
seen18 to have awakened Farnum's
jealousy, as that was the last time
he called.
HER SECRET COULD NOT BE KEPT.
11 tri Irvin liellar,a handsome young
man, whose home in Philadelphia,
has been courting Miss Edith Overs
halzer, who lives at Tremont hear
that city. The wedding was set for
Wednesday night. All prepare.
tione had been made, the guests in,
vited, and the bride's trousseau pre-
pared. At the last minute someone
took the groom aside and asked hint
if he knew his bride had already
been married.
Tho news came like a thunder
clap to the young bridegroom. Tho
girl's foru►er husband Was Arms
strong. He had been sent to the
Ohio penitentiary for a cutting fra-
cas at Lawleuceville, Ohio, about a
year ago. She had then secured a
divorce from hila and taken her
maiden name.
Kellar knew nothing of the girl's
past history, and sbe never spoke of
it. The young man did not remain
to upbraid the girl who had deeeiv.
ed him, but left at once for his home
in Philadelphia. He said to a friend
before he left shat his life was ruin•
ed, and he felt that be should never
be the same man again.
WHY BIG MEN HAVE LITTLF WIVES
There isa very general and ancient
impression that big men, iu ehoos-
ing wives prefer small women. At
firer glance this would appear to be
true, because the number of big men
with little wives I8 certainly in an
overwhelming majority, as we see
thew. In the five years [ have
held my office I have learned a thing
or two through the medium of the
marriage license office, and it 114 my
iutprettsion that it is not that big
men prefer little women, but that
little women prefer big wen,au'1 it is

TOO MUCH FUSS OVER ONE
LION.
Detroit Free Prose,
Forepaugh's traveling circus and
Menagerie had been ditched by a
a railroad accident on a road in
Tennessee. and one of the Hone had
escaped from his broken cage and
sought shelter in a log cow pen near
at hand. Our train was following
the circus and had come to a stop
and most of the passengers went for -
word to lend the 8how•met) a helps
lug hand. The lion was the only
animal which got away, and the
men were calling for nets and ropes
and vuluuteers, when a lanky an.
eular native, who hadn't heed hie
hair cut for a year, and who was rid-
ing a mule even more homely than
himself, reached the highway cross-
ing and dismounted.
"Who's a lying 1" he demsuded as
he heard the men tailing to eaeh
other.
"A lion has escaped," replied
one,
011, that's it 1 Wheel.; lie

"Hiding in that shed,"
"Nell, why don't you get hint
out?"
ewe
are goiug to after a while,''
Seems like a good deal of fussing
over one lion. Lemme see what I
kin do."
He unbuckled the hitching strap
from his bridle and coolly walked in-
to the barn, and half a minute later
he crime out leading the beast and
saying :
"Tried to skeer me by growlin'
and showing his old yeller teeth, but
found it wouldn't work. Here
'hie is, and now whar' do you want
him 1"
One of the showmen told me that
he would not have gone into the
tilled after the beast if a reward of
$1,000 had been offered for so doing.
The manager gave the native a $10
bill for his pluck, and as the
mail mounted his mule to ride on ile
took another look at the money and
said :
"Shoo ! That waeu't nothing !
Why, I'd her tackled the Guyasti-
cubus for half that money, though
they do say he got teeth a foot

THE WHEELBARROW TEST.
Now York Sun ; Three or four of
us on cue car were talking about
General Sherhnan'8 death, and, as
might have been expected, one of
the group modestly admitted Mat he
was with the lamented General on
his famous march to the sea. There
was a woman in the seat ahead,
surrounded by bundles and baskets,
and evidently going some where on
a visit. The war talk soon stirred
her up, and she turned to the veter-
an and queried :
"Were you right in a batt'e 3"
"Yes'm."
"Dead men all around?"
''Yee'm"
"Wounded crying for water 1"
"Yes'm."
"Bombshells and cannon halls
falling around you like haul"
"Yes'm."
"And you didn't run 1"
"No'm. I should hope not," he
modestly replied.
"Stood right there and never got
scarf, eh 1"
"Well, now, I don't belieye it 1"
she bluritly exclaimed. "It aint
human natur'. It ain't accordin' to
things."
"I hope you do not doubt my
word, madame."
' "Yes I do." she sharply replied,
"1 don't believe you have got any
more nerve than toy Sans has, and
Sam can't stand the test."
"Then you have a test 1"
"Yes I have. You jest get off at
Seottdale, where I am going to stop.
There'll be a wheelbarrow some,
where around there, and you lest
stand off about thirty feet and let
we bear dowu ou you with it. If
you don't jump or dodge or climb a
telegraph pole I'll give in that you
are the bravest man I ever slaw."
"I—I'nl afraid I haven't time to
stop off'," he stammered.
"I icnt'w you wouldn't have," she
dryly replied. "They never do.
They talk about bombshells and
dead 111811 and slaughter dens, and
they wake out that they charged up
t0 the roaring ealln011 ; but the
minute I tal k wheelbarrow they
knuckle. You needn't say no more.
You've wilted."
And he hadn't another word to
ut ter.
THE G. T. R. AND THE
ELECTIONS.
A Chicago .paperiof n recent (late
publishes a statement in regard to
the !Grand 'Trunk Railroad and its
connection with the recent election
in Canada. It gives publicity to a
rumor that that road had violated
the Inter -State Commerce Act by
taking about 150 CanRdlaus from
this city and about 1,000 more from
vat i(us points in Wisconsin and
Michigan to Canada to vote and re-
turning theta free of charge. It
then gives an interview with Gen-
eral Dleuager Reeve, in which lie
says:—It is true we carried between
150 and 200 Cauucks to Canada a
day or two before the election. 'We
also carried several hundred from
Various pointe 01) the litre 111 Indiana
and Michigan. They went to Can-
ada for the purpose of voting the
Liberal ticket. 1 am not ashamed
of it. I am an enitexationist, and
have Leen for twenty years, I wish
we had been able to ulunler thous,
ands wore. As 1t was, we could not
muster enough for the election, and
it went against us," and Ma. Reeve
siltiled sadly. Did you furnish the
men with free transportation'?
"Nu; we were paid for it, We are
not running a gift enterprise." Did
any one furnish them with free tran-
sportation? "I couldn't say as to
that. I keue 1 tied, t furnish thane
with any transportrtion. Of course
I tried to induce as many to go as
possible. 1 see now, however, that,
I made a Mistake in not working
harder. 1 ought to have organized
bureaus and induced every Canuck
in the western country to have gone
and voted against Macdonald and

CANADA IS NOT SLOW.
That was an excellent letter sent by
Mr. George 1[ague, of the Mer-
chants Bauk of Canada, to the New
York Commercial I3ulletiu. Mr.
Hague points out that Canada is
not a slow country. Since the de•
claration of independence, ho say's,
the United States has increased
twenty -fold in population, while
Canada has increased thirty:five-
fold. Since the war of 1812 the pop-
ulation of the republic has increas-
ed eight -fold, ours twelve -fold.
Since 1878 values of bank stocks
have increased $27,000,00; bank
and other savings deposits'have in-
creased $110.000,000; bank dis-
counts have increased $63,000,000;
railways have increased -8,000 miles;
railway freights have increased 12,
000,000 tons yearly. Are these
evidences of slow growth 1 The
United States had the start of Can-
ada by a century. That is not to
our discredit. It is n0 more a mat-
ter of reproach that Canada enter-
ed the race behind the Unite,!
Stales than that the United Stales
entered it behind Europe. The
fact is we are holding 0111' own. In
proportion to population we export
more goods and import more goods
than the United States; we hale
more miles of railway, mere Canal+
and more shipping. It is a great mis-
take to say Canada is slow.
