One h1undrod thousan( dollars is a big sumlli of' money ; it has gone rally been considored a capital sufiflient for many kinds of' busi ness. That any man should do liborately throw such a sum1i away 11n only bo explained by tho protld lesiro to outrival somno greater fool.

'HEEiTE "CONF~OUNDEDL Mo TIlER" WVAs.-A gentleman who came up the HIudson, tells this story: "1 noticedl," hie said, "a seriotus looking man, wvho looked as if ho might be a clerk or book-keeper.

A.s the child became rest less in the berth, the gentleman -tookc it in his arms and carried it to and fro in the cabin. The sobs of the child irritated a rich man, who was trying to road, until ho blurted out loud enough for the father to hear ."What does he want to dlistuirb the whole cabin with that d--d baby for ?" The) man only nestled the baby more quietly in his arms, without saying a word. Then the baby sobbed again. "Where is the confounded me theor, that she don't stop its noise ?" continued the profane grumbler. At this tihe father came up to tho man and said: "I am very sorry we dlistur'b you sir, but my dear baby's mother is in bor' coffia down in the baggage room, I'm Itaking her back to Albany, where we used to live."
