Old Reginald |and the Common | _ Reginald was a pleasant old gentleman, with a fine sense of humor. He had considerable property, and lived on Wimbledon Common. He had one beautiful daughter—but that Is not to the point. One afternoon, as Old Reginald was reading books in his drawing-room, it was announce! to him that a Common Man desired to speak with ; him. He gave orders that the Common Man should be admitted. And admitted the Common Man was. Hewas a very Common Man, indeed. Tall, shambling, ill-looking fellow, with an irresolute manner and 81 ing eye.

And the burglar wept like a child. “ This, I Dresurne, is Remorse,” said Old Reg- inald. “No, guv’nor, it ain't Remorse,” said the lar. “It’s Funk.” (he same thing.” said Reginald. “Tt ain't the being a burglar that I object to.

Now, I see a handsome silver salver and coffe: pot and cream jug as [come in here, Wot might he the value of that handsome silver salver and | coffee-pot 2” “The cream jug is electro. The coffee-pot, with sugar basin and salver, nay be worth five and forty pounds.” “That's near enough. I'll take ‘em. Here is a tlimsey for fifty quid.” And he handed Old Keginald a bank note for the amount. till I don’t quite understand—” Want you, guv‘nor, to be so good as to leave your Ded-room window open to-night, and place that silver and them silver traps where I can get ‘em. I shall have cracked my crib, bagged my swag, and made myself safe until my turn came round again.” * Certainly,” said Old Reginald, holding up the note to the light. “ But let me ask, how can you afford to pay so handsomely for your depreda- ton?” “There was a dozen of us, sir. Each on us cracks a crib once in four ‘months, and each sWags at least tity pounds worth—often more, but at least that. After each plant the profits are divided. Last quarter the twelve cribs cracked brought us in eleven hundred pounds— that’s ninety odd pounds apiece. When my turn comes I pay a fair price for the fifty pounds worth swag (for I have been honorably prougat ip), and I gets forty pounds to the good. And quarter 1s a hundred and sixty x And I lives on it. Sometimes iUs more—now and then it’s less, but whatever it is I lives on it.” And the honest fellow took a receipt for a note and departed. Cld_ Reginald was as good as his word. He left his bed-room window open and placed tie salver where the honest burglar was as good as his word, and at 2 o'clock in the morning he came and found it. So far all was simple and straightforward enough. But now comes the curious and in- credible part of my stor; The fit d part of the proceeds of a previous burgla e number of the note was known, and traced to Old Reginald, who had to account for its being in his possession. ‘Now the twelve burglars had in the mean- time been arrested by the police (chis a credible), and were condemned to p tude for life. ° So Old Reginald had no hesitation in stating the facts as i have stated them. No one believed him, as no one will me. So he appealed to the honest. bargiar & roborate his story. But the honest burglar, having discovered the whole thing, coffee-pot, salver and all, was the commonest clectro, Was so shocked at Old Regi- nald’s dishonesty that not only did he decline to corrobrate his story, but actually, and I think very properly, identified him as an accomplice. And Old Reginald was also sentenced to penal servitude, and heand the honest burglar worked for any. years together on the sume works, and had many opportunities of talking the mat- ter over from its moral, social and political point of view.

The | least enjoyable portion of bis duties was theex- | hibition of Christianlike forbearance whenever Monk, or Mr. Patti, the satellite that revolves about his domestic moon, was afflicted with a fit of ill temper. He put up withseveral of Mr. Movk’s expicsions, as did all the rest of the party, but on Sat y evel he lost his temper ard created an impassable breach in their relationsy aS well 43 In Mr. Monk's garments, by violently kicking him. The scene of the preliminary skirmish was the dining-room of the Palace Hotel, where Mr. Monk, his domestic pate de fois (eel and Fischof were dining. Mr. Monk dec! that there was no legal means of collecting a debt in Ubis country, and Mr. Fischof presumed to differ. ‘rhis uncalled for action on his part. mace him the recipient of a linguistic donation rom Monk in choice Italian, comprising ail the insults he could think of at short notice. Fis- chor finished his repast on trifles, chewing his moustache and his anger, and as soon as the pany ad adjourned to the 1} collared Mr. fouk and began to take pbysical satisfaction from the prima donna’s worse half. The fracas was stopped and the interested parties ad- journed nomediately to Annie street, in therear of the hotel, where Mr. Fischof expressed his sentiments So impressively that after a pum- meling Monk beat a masterly retreat, helped on by Fischot’s boot. Monk went straight to Pattt and told his story, and she wrote a letter dis- charging Fisehof on t spot. He replied in conservative fashion and laid his case before Colonel W. H. L. Barnes, who. at his request, is pre; aring papers to sue for Fischof’s money and his return passage to Austria as per contract. Fischof, who has evidently been expecting some Nnal fuss of this kind, has kept a record of Monk’s eccentricities, which reads as follows, the sad story being made still sadder by the pathetic patois: M.

After an In- troduction, the editor said: “General, 1 should liketo get your ideas on the Indian question. We are very much inter- ested in the matter in the East, and your views would be read with great attention.” “Ye-es,” drawled the General in a medita- tive strain, caressing his moustache. ‘Your name 2” “Smith, sir.” “Ye-es.

[From the Telegraph’) The first cabin into wich I went was a place that an Englishman would think too bad for his pig. Its floor, of earth and stones, reeked with damp, and ‘water even stood fn the hol- i the only furniture was a few cups and saucers, a Stool or two, and as many tubs and pots; in one corner a mass of dirty straw had evidently been used us a bed, and on the wretched hearth smoked rather than burnt an for a fire. The-man of the house— s and coatless, pale and haggard—sat idle upon a bag of Indian meal, beyond waich his food resources did nat go, and through the gicom around the hearth—there was no wia- dow to speak of—could be dimly made out one or two crouching female figures. I gever saw anything in the way of a home in a civilized ntry—and I have seen a good deal—more palling than this. Yet here was tge case of a man rentivg three acres of land, and usually getting what he would be conteat to calla lv. ing outotthem.

But the poor little children, half-clothed, thin and holiow-eyed, were there to plead with heartrending eloquence for aid. Once more I heard the old story. The land had yielded no- thing; no turf could be obtained for ‘fuel shori of a journey of oe miles, and the family had touched absolute destitution.

A family who formerly lived near here emi- gre to Kansas about a year ago, leaving be. hind them an old dog, named Dash. Dash had been biought up in’ the family from puppy- hcod; he had kept faithful watch every night in winter and summer weather, and he was deeply attached to his master. “Dash was not ugly in Gisposltion, and he discriminated in- stinctively between the wandering reprobate, whose presence in the neighborhood was disa- greeable, if not dangerous, and the substantial citizen out for a walk ora drive.
