With this desire he went to see his friend Baillet, the boat-builder, at Asnieres , and explained his project. \Ilold 1 \ said Baillet, \I have just what you want, a boat intended to be used for a ferry.\ Daubigny, who was accom panied b y his son Karl, looke d over the boat, which was some twenty - eight feet long, six feet beam, flat- bottomed, and drew only eigbteeD Inches of water Baillet agreed to complete it, so that three o r six rowers coul d be used, and a sail at will. At the stern was to be placed a cabin in pin e sufficiently large to Work and sleep In, with lockers o n each side to con tain beddinjr , cooking utensils, pro visions, and artist's materials.

I propos e t o save about fifteen .lobar s on lawn mowing this summer, nn d t want the exercise . I could have got a Health lift , but I thought I would com bine business with pleasure. Always kill tw o birds with on o stone when chance offers. I'l l work u p a muscle i n a coupl e of weeks to astonis h you.

Th e only thing yo u wouldn't oppos e is my dying!\ Mrs. Bowser ha d nothing more t o say , aud after dinne r Mr . Bower mado ready for his exercise. He got into an ol d sui t of clothes, dragged the lawn mower int o th e back yard an d oile d i t up, aud wa s presentl y ready t o make a star t He looke d up a t th e bac k windows, and see - IIIU' nothing of Mrs. Bowser, he spa t o n his hands and said. \Ha! This is what'll give a man muscle. Only costs $9, nud I'l l get $100 benefi t out of it . I suppose I might a s well'make a start.' ' Ho made one . Ho had gone about te n feet when the mnchine stopped sud denly. So di d Mr . Bowser. He stopped so suddenl y that his feet left the ground and the handle o f the mower just missed his chi n oa an upper cut . \Struck n post, eh?\ he muttered, a s he investigated and . found one rising about six inches out of the earth. \That's al l right, however. I didn't expec t t o mow down post s a3 well a s grass . Seem s a s i f my muscl e was work in g up a littl e already. ' He dodged the pos t and headed foi the bac k fence , nnd hi s countenance had just begun to beam again when thero was a grea t clattering and the machine stopped. \Oyster cans!\ he growled, as ho kicked two or three ou t of the grass. \Shs's probably wntching me, and she's probabl y tickled hnl f t o denth, but I'd mow thi s yard if i t wa s full o f deadly torpedoes.\ He reache d the fenc e without further misuap , leaving a trai l behind him a3 crooke d as a serpent's, but at the fir3t das h h e made on hi s return journey something happened a;ain. The ma chin e stopped with a bump, and Mr. Bowse r pitched forward over the handl e an d brought up i n a heap on the ground. \Now I hope to never draw another breat h if I don't slaughter somebody fo r this!\ h e yelle d as soon as h e could got his breath . He wn3 going to jump up and kick somebody o r something, but i t occurred t o him tha t Mrs. Bowser might be look ing, and he 'sat up and looked around nnd pretende d to re3t. Nothing could be see n of Mrs. Bowser, however , and after a coupl e o f minutes h e got u p nnd moistened hi s hands fo r a fresh start . Everything went as smooth as greas e fo r the next twenty feet . Then th e mower picked up a hundred feet of stovepipe wir e and waited fo r results . \That woman's baud again!\ hoarsely whispere d M r Bowser, a s h e saw what wa s th e matter; \but I wouldn't give i n now if I knew that death wa s two rods off'\ I t too k him ten minutes t o clear away the wire . When this ha d b;en accom plisbed h e pulled off hi s coa t and vest , glanced u p at al l the back windows, and ther e wa s a dangerous ligh t i n his eye a s h e grippe d the handle, drew a lon e breath , and went ahead. At the fiftL ste p Mr . Bowser's right foo t foune l a pos t hole, and followed i t up until he tell forwar d o n his stomach and plowed alon g th e grass. His first thought wa 1 t o get tip anel kick both lin e fences down au d make a bonfir e of the splin ters , bu t as h e slowly reache d his fee t a better ide a occurred t o him. He pickcu u p th e mowe r by the handle and raise d it ove r hi s head, and pounded the eartt with it unti l nothing but the handle wa s left. Then he gathered u p wheels, cogs, ratchets , flues, pulleys, cylinder heads, anel lo w water indicators, aud tossed them over the back fence and walked int o th e hous e Mrs Bowser sat rea 1- ing , au d looke d very innocen t and hu-n- ble, but h e was not t o be deceived. Standing befor e her in hi s sternest atti tude h e said \.Mrs. Bowser, there is an easier way'\ \Why what elo you mean?\ \Kill m e off!

A Close Call. \I was onc e sentenced t o be blown from a guu,\said Majo r John Hitchco;k, a t the Southern. \I had long been a residen t of that land of revolutions, Cen tra l America . During on e of the semi annua l political upheavals I was cap ture d b y a savage mob known as the Army of Sa n Salvador an d sentenced to death. I n the camp of in y captors a six pound gun was fired a t high noon by mean s of a sur. glass, nnd t o the muzzle of thi s antiquated smoothbore I wai strappe d and left i u the broilin g sun to awai t m y fate. Now, I hav e facei l sev eral kinels of death i n my day , but that knocked all the nerve ou t of me. 1 coul d no t se e the small, fiery spot made by th e su n glass , but I kne, v that it was creepin g slowl y but surel y t o the powder at the vent. I imagine.! I could heat the powder hissing wi* h the heat. The bla7 .ing su n beat dowu upo n my bare heael, ohnding me and seeming to boi l th e blood i n my veins.

The troop s were dozing i n the shade. A few , awakened by the bell, raise d up o n thei r elbow s and watched m e with laz y interest , expecting every moment to se e me blow n t o shreds. One—two—three —four—five—with maddening delibera tion cam e the strokes of the bell , when suddenly a harsher uote wa s heard—the roa r of musketry.

Some simply write their names across the back without specifying that the proceeds are to be paid to anybody in particular. This is the least desira ble of any way, for a check so In dorsed passes from hand to hand like . 6 hank note, and i f It be lost in the mail or stolen it may be cashed by the bank upon which it is drawn as If the check had been originally drawn to bearer. Moreover, when a check i s once in dorsed In blank, that is , by the payee limply writing his name across the back, the payment can not be re stricted by any subsequent Indorse ment, For example, it would be useless fo r the bank where the check i s de posited to Indorse \pay to the order of such and such a bank,\ naming its out-of-town correspondent. Such an attempt' to restrict the payment o f the check would not amount to any thing after the first payee had in dorsed in blank, A very favorite way to indorse a check i s \for deposit only to the credit of. \ This i s good enough as far as it goes. The trouble I s that such an Indorse ment transfers the title o f the check to the bank where it i s deposited,and if it be followed up by similar in dorsements as it passes from bank to bank on the way to its final destina tion, the title i s transferred at every stage. Now, tho check having reached the ban it on which it i s drawn, it i s paid, and the money starts on the return trip. If at any point on the way back a bank should fai l with the money ih It s possessison, that money would go into the general fund, to be distrib uted pro rata among the credit ors. But if the original holder o f the check were to indorse it in this way! \Collect fo r account of, \ or \Collect fo r my account,\ then these words would operate as a notice to all con cerned that the original holder had not parted with his title to the check, and that all subsequent hold ers were agents fo r the purpose o f collecting onlv. If, after the check had been cashed and the proceed 1 ; on the way back, any bank should fai l with the proceeds i n its possession the original holder can follow the proceeds o f his check and compel the receiver to pay over the amount to him i n ful l It i s worth while noting that checks should be cashed promptly This i s a case i n which it may truly be said that delays are dangerous and some times fatal. The bank may fail , or the drawer may fail , or his funds may b e attache-e l i n some legal pro ceeding o r the drawer may die. Massachusetts i s probably the only State i n the union which provides by act o f legislature that a bank may pay checks fo r a certain time after the death of the drawer. rjiseoreretl. M de Sartines, at one time chief of the polic e o f the city o f Paris, was a master of his profession. The crimi nal to whom he gave his attention was almost sur-e, sooner or later, to be brought to justice. An incident which illustrates the thoroughness o f his work i s recorded, reluctantly ono may imagine, in the Vienna police reports. The chief o r the Vienna police wrote to him describing a criminal who hail fled from Vienna and taken refuge in Paris, and requesting Sartines to dis cover and sci/e the fugitive. Sartines gave his orders fo r a search fo r the man. Two months passed. Then he wrote the Vienna officer . \I have sought the criminal you described on al l sides, and for a long time i n vain But at last the efforts of my agents are rewarded. We have found the man. \He i s i n Vienna, which city he has not left at all . You will find him at Fauburg N—, Number 50 . There is a flower pot iu his window.\ Tfor litonltlotr liens.
