Our ‘Thursday is their Sabbath. They fast forty days In the spring, but are not over strict in the ob- servance Of such fast, preferring rather todo it by proxy. One member of the family fasting will do for ali the others as well as himself. Children are immediately aiter birth baptized with the water of the holy spring at the grave of the Sheik A A Spurious Gold Bar, Some western “greenhorn,” who evidently has more money than brains, says the Philadelphia North American, purchased what he supposed to bea bar of gold and forwarded it to the United States mint, wnere 1t was received yesterday. The bar resembled the precious metal both in size and looks, but the mint assayer Was not to be Lin posed upon. He decided at once that the bar was Spurious, and wasn’t worth much. A real bar of gold of the size of the one received would be worth abOUL $35,000. Superintendent Fox stated that the person who had sent the bar had been vietim- ized, but he declined to give any names. He said that he had telegraphed to the person whoo had sent it, informing him that the bar Was worthless. A runior circulated here yesterday that a well- kaoown Western bank had been 1m) and had advanced money on the bar of spurious gold which was received here. ‘The bank will have been badly “burnt” if the rumor is correct, as the sharpers Who worked off the spurious metal on tt are not likely to have waited for developments. ‘There are several bars of spurious gold now in the mint. The general plan of the sharpers is w bore two holes in the top and bottom of the bar in the Presence of their pro vicum. By a slight-of- hand rick Uney substitute real gold borings for the spurious stuff. The gold borings are given to the victim to be analyzed. The man gets it analyzed, and fds that the borings are pure gold. He concludes that the whole bar is pure, and he purchases {t. ‘That’s the game 1a short, Sheriff Steele's Fix. ‘From the Pittsburg Commerciai-Gazette. A remarkable case of mistaken identity oc- curred recently in the Cincinnati court, William J. Long was arrested during tae centennial on a charge of robbing Mrs. Comorford of $300 at the West Penn depot.’ While incarcerated in jail Long allowed his beard to grow, presumably with the gbiect of changing his appearance, When placed in the dock Long sat with his hand onghis chin, concealing is beard, aud te close resemblance the prisoner bore to “Deputy Sheriif Steele, who, by the way, is a remarkably handsome man with @ magnificent mustache, Was commented upon by the court offictals. ‘The case was called for trial, and Long took a seat behind his counsel at the table, While sheriff Steele busied himself about bts duules in the courc- room. Mrs. Comertord took the stand and related Uhe ineldents of the tnelt, “District Attorney Por- Ler asked the witness if she could recognize the thief, “Yes,” she replied. “Wny, there goes the man bow Who stole my money; Lie’s leaving the court-room,” pointing to Depuly Sheriff Steele, Who was making a trip to the jail after a prisoner. ‘fhe deputy sheriff was surprised to hear him- self accused of sucha crime, but Mrs, Comertord ‘Was positive Ubat she was correct in her identif- cation. Mr. Steele thereupon took the witness- stand, and effectually dispelled any belief that might linger in the tninds of tue lobby that he Was in the habit of varying bis official duties with raids upon the pockets cr ladies. Long was then ordered to stand up where Mrs. Comerford could see him, and, after a close inspection, she decided that she had been mistaken and that Long Was the man who had robbed her. ‘The prisoner appewred lo enjoy the perplexity of Mra, Comertord, and probauly expected tat it might result favorably vo him, but in tis ie was. mistaken, a3 he Was convicted ana remanded to Jail for sentence. ———__e-_____ Electricity in a Meat Market, ‘When a clerk in Brown’s meat aud fish market on Grand avenue, says the New Haven correspon- dent of the New York Sun, accidentally laid his hand ona big cleaver on Saturday night ne re- ceived an electric shock that caused a st prickling sensation to pass througu his system, ‘Was ascertained that through some disarrange- ment of the electric light wires the store was thoroughly charged with electricity. A crowd juickly gathered, and Mr. Brown, bellg of @ jovial tion, determined to have some tun. Onone of the hooks of the rack back of the meat bench hung the carcass of a lamb, A stout Irlghinan came in ut that moment and in- quired the price of the shoulder. Mr. Brown offered the Whole lamb to him if he would Temoveit from the hook and carry it off. Pat put nis sturdy shoulder unger the carcass, threw 18 arms around Jt and tried vo lift it, ‘Tne shock he got nearly threw him to the floor. " A basket ot oysters stood leaning against the wail and touched @ water pipe. A young man came in to buy @ peck and was told to help nimseit. He ittted one and dropped it with a howl. A barrel of cabbages was also charged with theelectricity, When Mr. Brown told a woman who wanted one that she might have it and welcome, as she was an old customer, she swooped down on the barrel and picked out the nicest head she could see. She will not touch another if you offer to pay her for it, She set up a Screecing and groaning and rushed through Jeering crowd out of sight, and Mr. Brown sadly ‘contemplated the fact that he had lost her trade. Just at this time a lineman came along and soon, found out Where the trouble was. It took him a few minutes only to repair the wire and business was r. Brown says 1 Was tie highs trade he ever had, — — A Bemarkable Fast. ‘MISS ELIZABETH OSWALT FASTS SEVENTY-PIVE DAYS AND GRTS MARRIED.
