BY ELEANOB KIBK. «¥*,! am pleased to see you, and yon cau take mj career for a text if tbat |8 your object in visiting me; but you are not at liberty to mention my name. Ton can call me Jack for short You see I have had notoriety enough. Your article may be valueless without my name? Very sorry, indeed, but the talker in this case must only be known to the talkee." There was no way of evading these terms, and they were accepted with thanks. "How is it that my English is so good ? Then you do observe a differ­ ence between my English and that of most men of my profession? I am glad this is the ca*e, I had a good ed­ ucation; in fact, I was intended for the ministry. You laugh, my friend? I assure yon that it was only a feather's weight that decided my vocation. My mind was of a studious, philosophical, and scientific oast. I got into a bog about free-will and predestination, and then I stuck. It was impossible for me to honestly preach either doctrine, and I certainly was bound to commit myself to one or the other. There was •till another obstacle in my path. It was: I was born with an overween­ ing desire for the unattainable." ; • This was certainly a poetic way of yetting around the eighth command- . ment, and the writer's respect increased prodigiously. "I was so constituted," the speaker ' proceeded, "that I could not care for anything, however beautiful, which was within my reach. Now, I was not responsible for coming into the world, neither was I responsible for the law of heredity. It was a great deal safer to address a cultivated audience twice a Sunday, and make a few pastoral calls daring the week, than to climb into a man's house at dead of night, and creep into his bedroom and walk off with liis pocket-book und diamond studs. 1 studied theology with the best old man that ever lived, and he considered me a brilliant and hopeful disciple, but I spent three weeks planning to rob Irim--to rob him. artistically, I mean. I conld have done this without suspi­ cion at any time, for the whole house Was open to me, but the things that I coveted were not valuable to me until they were locked up. This desire was stronger than life and stronger than death, lor I risked death many a time to accomplish it. I could not believe that I had been predestined from the » beginning of things that my career was to be that of a buf-glar, and I knew .that I was not a free agent. You can comprehend my dilemma?" This was plausiblo, though the treat­ ment of the subject, it was obaerverd, was somewhat new, as well as a trifle tnystical. "Yes," was the calm response. "You have become accustomed to certain terms, certain forms and modes of ex­ pression. and you don't know how to get outside of them. Most men are like you." "Are you willing to tell me your method of attack--so to speak--or did you enter houses like other " "Burglars. Do not be afraid of the ' word. I think my methods were or­ iginal, if not unique, though, on I never , liad any dealings with men of my pro­ fession. I may be arrogating loo much." "You never had a companion, a pal? ; WP never a member of any clique ?" *7 "Never, and my contempt for thieves Was probably as great as your own. I .. iiad no wish for such society, and up to tlu! time 1 wai e.inglit and convicted I : liad as good a name as any other man. ,A house that was easy to enter I al- " ""way* y>as?ed by, for, as I told you. I cared only for the unattainable. My \5i v. tools could all be carried in one pocket. ?' .* When I bad such work in my hand I nlways dressed myself scrupulously. The professional burglar can never be mistaken for a gentleman for he looks jike the tramp he is. My linen was in­ variably immaculate, my boots were well blacked, and my whole appearance *' | unexceptionable. I should have i'--' blushed to rob a man in old clothes." "And you were never caught but cnce?" , ' Only once, though I had two or : .-ifiiree hair-breadth escapes. One of these was when I attempted to rob a house on the Hudson, said to be as im­ pregnable as a fortress. It took three f hours of the hardest work I ever did ?S:to effect an entrance, and after I had succeeded in doing so I found, to my ureat chagrin, that I did not feel at ', Jiome." T "Feel at home? That is. funnier ' f than all the rest" "A great psychological truth under­ lies that feeling, sir. If I could not . bold my head up in a man's dini^g- "irootn or library, and feel in a large and ^comfortable sense like the proprietor, .v :>|I was in danger. In the house I hare ' • -mentioned I was indeed a cat in a t6^nve«tigat«, l bad not goaeiar whan a door softly opened, and a woman met me topoto the threshold." "But yon were not atraid of a wo­ man?" "I was never very mueh afraid of a man. This woman was ascalm as the summer night, or rather the summer morning.for then it was nearly 3 o'clock. 'What do you want?' she as %ed coolly. I glanced into the room and saw that she was alone. 'What do you think I want ?' I replied. 'It you did not look so much like a gentleman,' she an­ swered, 'I should, of course, think that you had come to rob us.' 'Thank you for the compliment,'said I; 'but where is your husband?' 'He is in Toronto,' she responded. 'Perhaps you bring bad news of him?' 'Oh, no, madam,' I answered, reassuringly; 'but it cannot be possible that your husband leaves you alone in this great house?' 'By no means; my servants are all within call,'was the suspicious response. 'But will you not be seated ?' she added po­ litely. This was a poser. Now I never struck, abused or insulted a woman in my life, and the most disheartening feature of my self-imposed employment was that I was sometimes compelled to frighten these tender and susceptible creatures. I took a seat near the door, so that my companion could not pos­ sible give the alarm, and she sat down on the other side of a large center table, and as she did I distinctly heard the fclick of a pistol. She had cocked the pistol and was ready for me. "This incident happened at the height of the Beecher trial in Brook­ lyn. That woman was game and I knew she would never let me leave those premises without a spunky at­ tempt for my apprehension. Most of my surprises have come from women, but I was never so utterly dumfounded as when this one calmly asked me for the latest news in the Beecher trial. I have tried to show you tbat only a small part of my nature, was really burglarious, and that in all other re­ spects I was a gentleman. When I found that this woman was alone, I would no more have placed a hand on any of her possessions than I would have cut my own throat There were two reasons for this. The first 1 hope was my innate respect for women in general, and my great admiration for this woman in particular, and the next was because of the predominant trait of character which made everything valueless which was not obtained by the hardest work. I could have taken this woman's little toy away from her, and locked her into her room with the greatest ease, and I would not have hurt a hair of her head; but such a tnssel would have been unmanly and ridiculous. So I answered her in­ quiries as politely as I could, and now .comes the part which will doubtless seem incredible to your practical mind. I became so interested in this singular conversation that a whole hour passed without my being aware of it. "My hostess"--a curious smile flitted across the ex-burgiar's serene count e- iiaucti as he uttered tlu# word--"was talented, refined, well informed. She regarded the matter from the stand­ point which was always most fascinat­ ing to me--that of philosophy and pre­ cedent. She was analytical, and I dis­ covered in the course of the conversa­ tion that she was a close psychometric student I forgot my inglorious inten­ tions entirely, and was only recalled to the object of my visit when my com­ panion, with the dash of a gazelle run­ ning away from a rifle, threw up the window and screamed at the top of her voice. I heard the rumbling of a wagon, and the shouts of. men, and had only time enough to escape by the back door into the woods. I take off my hat to that worn an ̂ metaphorically--a dozen times a day. "I told you the narrative would seem incredible, but notwithstanding my past career, which probably appears to you allied to every other weakness and wicknesa, I am not, and never was, a liar. "One other experience I will recount before I make the application of the sermon you are to preach for me. I had resolved to rob the house of one of our millionaires. This had been at­ tempted several times by others, and their failure was, as usual, an inspira­ tion to me. So I dressed meself in my best clothes, took my little tools, and started one dark' night about 12 o'clock. It was nearly 2 before I got in, and here, as in the other house I have told you about, I did not feel at home. I was an alien and a stranger. The sound of my own footsteps made my heart beat audibly. Bat I was a fool again, and did not fly as I should have done. I had lighted the gas iu the dining-room, and was about to re- conn oiter when I heard a quick step, and in an instant a man was upon me. I had time to seize aiv hat,which I had dropped upon the table, strike a digni­ fied attitude, and await developments 'Well,' said the man rather sharply, 'what do you want?' I turned, and this time met an old clmm of mine whom I had not seen lor fifteen years. 'Why,' he exclaimed, calling me by name and extending his hand cordially, 'what in the world brings you here at this time of night? I am delighted to see you.' I responded in perfect good faith, 'and I don't wonder you say this time of night. But I have been here since, 11. waiting for Mr. ,' calling the millionaire by name. 'And he is not in yet,' my companion replied. 'Come into the library and have a glass of wine with me. He will have to be here very soon now, you see,' he added, as I followed his lead, with my heart in my mouth. 'I got interested in a book, and forgot. al>out the time. I am thankful that I did, and now how are you, old boy?' There.are some mo­ ments in a man's life which no words can ever describe! I mado up my mind if I got out of this house with my real character unsuspected, that I would kill myself as soon as I reached home. "My old friend's delight at seeing me distressed me, and lor a few moments I forgot the danger of my position and everything else save my own unwortlii- ness to grasp a good man's hand. He told me that he was a tutor in the mill­ ionaire's family, and was perfectly4iap- py in his vocation. He offered me wine and I drank it He gave me a cigar, and I lit it and did my best to keep it glowing, but the fire went out repeatedly. Once I had a wild thought of telling him the nature of my errand to this house and throwing myself upon his mercy and generosity, but I could not do it. To watch this man's face as I sank lower and lower in his estimation was a process I conld not bear. No, 1 must get out of it some other way. My companion listened oc­ casionally as the sound of wheels was heard, showing that his employer was expected in a carriage. I listened for wheels also, and if you are possessd of imagination you can form some idea of my state of mincl. ft mta. raaa and WMt to the " 'Mr.------has oometC iM&'fe* aaWL "My companion's back tented* for » moment and I took a quick ad­ vantage of this fact and hurried out of the room. Once out of his presence fear and shame lent me Win presenc J* and readied the back window "through which I had entered to hear the voice of the imlHonaira wlmyn J 5md intended to victimize close beside me. " 'You had better give Kate soma water,' he told his coachman; and as he spoke I could have reached out my hand and touched his sleeve. But I kept in the shadow and as soon as the coast was clear I took myself out of the way. "And you did not kill yourself?" "No. Once safe, the old love of life returned and the keenness of my shame soon became blunted. If it were not for this dulling process, this world would consists of graves and lunatic asylums only." "And you were at last caught and sentenced. You did not serve your whole time, I believe." "Scardely half. Good behavior and paralysis opened the prison dobrs for me. I was caught in the act of rob­ bing a safe in a bank. It was my first and last attempt at a bank robbery. I never stepped upon so homelike a scene aa this was. The atmosphere of the place was entirely new io me. I had never had a bank book, never been a president, or a defaulting cashier, and I tried to convince myself that this was the cause of the strangeness. But it was the old warning, and it served me right that I did not recognize it A night watchman and a policeman swooped down upon me, and the result,' as you know, was a sentence for ten years' hard labor in states prison. I came out in lesB than five, a white- haired, decrepit man; old before my time, with nothing pleasant in the past to look back upon, and no chance of contentment or usefulness in the future." "If you were in good health, what do yon think would be the chances of your old occupation ?" "I often ask that question of myself, but I have never ahswered it The old Adam might be strong within me if I wers as well as formerly. It does not seem so, however; though with toy ex­ perience to refer to, it would be very illogical for me to predicate anything of a healthy condition from a diseased one. I feel at times perfectly con­ vinced that toy shame and remorse are genuine emotions, and the old longing for--" X "For the unattainable--" "Thank you-ffor the unattainable is dead.

Ephraim Peabody told this anecdote with great relish: He was at a Swiss railroad station, when a small-sized, choleric, half-pay British officer with one leg was hop­ ping round and swearing vigorously at nis courier for some neglect of duty. The man explained the matter coolly and respectfully, but the officer seemed to be in a greater rage than ever, and attracted unusual attention. At last his wife, a quiet j^rson, said to him in a low tone: "My dear, don't you think you may be wrong yourself?" 'I know I'm wrong." he shrieked, with an oath, "and that's what makes me so mad." The Inventor of Lneifer Matches*' According to a German paper, the inventor of lucifer matches was a polit­ ical prisoner, who perfected his idea in 1833, within the walls of a state prison. Kammerer was a native of Ludwigs- burg, and when sentenced to six months' imprisonment at Hohenasburg, he was fortunate enough to attract the notice and to gain the favor of an old officer in charge of the prison, who, finding he was studying chemistry, al­ lowed him to arrange a small labora­ tory in his cell. Kammerer had been engaged in researches with a view of improving the defective steeping sys­ tem, according to which splinters of wood, with sulphur at the ends, were dipped into a chemical fluid in order to produce a flame. If the fluid was fresh the result was satisfactory, but as it lost its virtues after a time, there was no general disposition to discontinue the old-fashioned system of using flint and steel. After many failures Kam­ merer began to experiment with phos­ phorus, and had almost completed his term of imprisonment when he discov­ ered the right mixture, and kindled a match by rubbing it against the walls of his cell. On cuining out of prison^ he commenced the manufacture of matches. Unfortunately, the absence of a patent law prevented his rights ftom being secured, and on Austrian and other chemists analyzing the com­ position, imitations speedily made their appearance. In 1835 the German states prohibited the u>e of the matches, con­ sidering them dangerotif. When they were made in England and sent to the continent these regulations were with­ drawn, but too late to be of any benefit to the inventor, who died in the mad­ house of his native town, in lt&7. The Two (iihrsHarfc I do hot think it is generally known that there are two Gibraltars in An la- lusia. . One is the solid and substantial rock-built fortress which owns Queen Victoria as its sovereign; the other is a fantom cry, of which Alfonso XII. is lord. Alter the capture of Gibraltar by the Bri ish in 1734 the inhabitants dispersed throughout the neighbor­ hood, finding refuge for the most part in the Villages of Los Barrios and San lioyne and amidst the ruins of the an­ cient City of Algeeiras. It was some years, however, belore the officers and gentlemen of the City of Gibraltar took steps to assert their existence as a cor­ porate body, which still retained vitali­ ty after the capture of their city. They accordingly met in solomn conclave under the Piesidency of their Cor- regidor, Don Bernardo Diaz de Isla, and declared the complete re-establish- ment of the Cabildo or Council of the City of Gibraltar, appointing San lioyne for the time being as the locali­ ty in which the iribunal should meet. Since that time, in the degfees of the King of Spain and in other official documents, the three towns are not named separately, but are styled "Our p most loval and noble City of Gibraltar j in the -Campo of Gibraltar, the City o!

Luis de Morales was born in 1509, and was the tirst Spanish painter Who acquired a reputation outside of his own country. His subjects were all re­ ligious, and he was called "El Divino," or "the divine," on this account. When Morales was fifty-five jears old, Philip II. invited hint to court. When he appeared before the King, ho wore so magnificent a costume that Philip was angry, and ordered a sun jpf money to l>e paid the artist, and a dismissal sent him at the same time. %o mortified was Morales that be for­ sook his art and fell into great poverty. In 1581, Philip visited Badajoz and saw Morales in a very different dress from that which he had worn at court. "Morales, you are very old," said the King. "Yes, sire, and very poor," replied the painter. Pliilfp then commanded that two liundt ed ducats of the crown rents of Badajoz should be given eacli year to the painter to supply him with dinners. Hearing this, Morales exclaimed: "And for snpoer, sire?" ,This aptness so pleased the King that he added one hundred ducats to the pension, and these sums gave Morales comfort for the rest 6f his days. The street in Badajoz in which he lived still bears his name.--Si.
