Deau Hkkman and Canada Dill.
Canada BUI one time pawing
througu Washington on his way to New
York, after a succesiiful gambling trip on
the steamboats of tiie western and south
ern rivers. The thought struck him that
he would stop and see Beau Hickman,
the great vug, then world famous as a
clever trickster. The two Fports met on
the Kteps of the huge marble capitol.
Hickman had been pointed out to Can
ada Bill by a bootblack.
"Is vour name Hickman, pard?" in
quired Bill, extending his hand.
"The same, sir. Whoeo hand might I
have the honor of pressing?" returned
Hickman, thinking that his new ac
quaintance was a newly-arrived western
member of congress.
"The hand you grasp, pard," responded
Bill, "is one generally known as being
more able to deal cleverly than fairly. 1,
like yourself, am one of society's razor
stros. I am "
"Canada Bill, by gum V
'Shake the member two times for
I'm glad to see you, Hickman."
"How long are you going to stop in
town ?"
"Stepped off expressly to make your
acquaintance."
"Are vou known in this city ?"
"So.""
"Then 311 turn you to good account.
How much money llavo you to venture
vv. a sure thing?"
"Ot S'i.UOO."

approached each group he Mould bow
and say :
'(ientlemen,I am collecting monev for
a Avidow lady and her three children.
They belong to a once-proud but now
cast-down family. If you will aid them,
i leae ask no further questions, but give
what you see tit."
In the entire hotel the gentlemanly
beggar only received three donations of
twenty-live cents each. The others
waved him impatiently aside, while
some plainly told him he was an impos
tor. Before leaving, he said quietly to
the three gentleman who had given him
money :
"This will be repaid yon tenfold to
morrow evening at t his hour."
, lie then took the address of each, ask
ing them to not fail to be in the parlor
the next evening to get their money, and
cautioned them to speak to nooneof his
promises that he was Sir Orlando Mat
terson, president of royal London society
for the encouragement of benevolence.
As a matter of course, before he had
got a block away from the hotel every
one knew rdl that he had said and done,
and all considered him some crazy fan
utic. Then a report got about that he
was an immensely rich but insane Eng
lish nobleman, who spent yearly hun
dreds of thousands in seeking those out
who were willing to lend aid to the
needy, and in rewarding them after
wards, so that, according to his cracked
brain, the cause of charity might be in a
general way accelerated.
The next evening he came again, ask
ing alms, and everyone was on the look
out for him. He lirst singled out the
three gentlemen who had given him
twentv-iive cents each, and very quietly
pased each an envelope containing two
dollars and fifty cents, and a small card,
upon which was printed: "Give, and you
shall receive." "Cast your bread on the
waters and it shall be returned to you
tenfold." "Lemember the example of
Sir Orlando Matterson as you journey
through life."
Sir Orlando Matterson took seventy
three dollars in donations from the
house that night, and it was noticeable
that those whom his example had thus
quickened were very careful that he
should have their correct address. The
K.iue result followed in each of the
scores of hotels nnd sample-rooms which
he had initiated on the night before.
The third night he, with a solemn face,
returned to each donor of the previous
night the exact tenfold promised.
"It would be a jov which I would con
sider cheaply purchased." said he confi
dentially to a dozen gentlemen, "if at the
cost of half a million dollars I could
teach the citizens of this beautiful city to
i-e thoroughly generous to the poor."
This night lie was like the ticket-seller
.t the railroad depot. One, two, five,
ten and even twenty dollar bills were
shoved at him on all sides, so great had
been the awakening in the cause of be
nevolence which the example of .Sir Or
lando Matterson had aroused. A benign
smile hovered about his mouth, and a
tear that glittered betimes in his mild,
kind eye proclaimed the ioy his soul felt
as he shoved bill after bill into his pock
ets and gazed with the look of a father
upon his converts.
"We'll split her now," suggested Bill,
as he ceased counting.
" Twouldn't give you $12,000," quoth
Hickman. "Let it be till to-morrow
night. I think I can raise a little 'hush
money' on this racket."
Next night Beau Hickman went the
rounds, ami found groups of expectant
converts waiting to see Sir Orlando Mat
terson. One at a time, as fast as he
rould do so, he would take one after an
other of the most prominent gentlemen
aside and whisper in his ear:
"I have got a little subscription book
here which was handed to me by a
friend as he took the train this morning
for New York. Sorry yon got sold on
Sir Orlando Matterson. He's skipped out.
That was Canada Bill, the three-card
xonte man."
"Is that so?"
"Sure. Here's the book with your
name A it for twenty dollars."
"Well, for gracious sake, Beau, don't
show that note-book to anyone. And
scratch rny name off it, will you?"
"Certainly," returned Hickman,
' scratching over tho name wjfh his pen
rii. "But, governor, I'm kind o' short
to-night. Couldn't you lend mo twenty
dollars until to-morrow?"
With a wry face, the victim would pull
forth his pocket book, and, placing the
bill demanded in Hickman's hand, would
slip quietly from the hotel to the Btreet.
That night the two worthies divided,
and tho share of each was over twelve
thousand dollars.
Both Bean Hickman and Canada Bill,
hose tricks on the unwary obtained for
them thousands of dollars, died poor and
were buried as paupers; and tho moral
is, that no matter how much a man
makes dishonestly or by trickery, he will
sooner or later be found out. and doubt
less die a miserable, deserted outcast.

Ufa in Cuba.
Our first evening, in Havana, says
friend, was pe nt in a visit to the cele
brated Casino Kspanol, to which, through
the kindness of our Cuban friend, Mr.
Luis Begueria, we received an invita
tion. This club is the oldest and most
important of the Western Hemisphere.
A membership is looked upon as a great
honor, as many of the greatest political
movements of Cuba originate within
this body. The club-rooms are very ex
tensive, consisting of immense rooms
for social or political gatherings, a large
library, reading, billiards, and card
rooms, and lastly, a, room the smallest
of all, set apart as n place of instruction
for the young sons of members. Our
party was gracefully and handsomely
received by the Secretary of the club,
and after a stroll through the various
rooms, we were treated to a lunch in one
of the large salons. Signor Begueria is
connected with the leading journals of
the city (the Diario de la Marina), and to
his untiring attentions our party owe
the most of their pleasure in Havana.
A peculiarity of tho Cuban bed is
the lack of a mattress, a substitute for
which is a piece of linen duck, stretched
across the frame-work, or a woven wire
mattress with a thin blanket to prevent
the iron from pinching or scratching.
Notwithstanding this lo.ss, we managed
to gain a good night's rest, and were
ready for a jaunt next morning. Tho
i otlu ials of our party went to pay their

in shackles. An
:hat thev vowed never to taste the stun"
again. Before the day was lone they
had all forgotten the resolution, ami
seemed to enjoy the sweets of the table
with the same relish.
Mr. Lawton. an American merchant
residing in Cuba, gave us a cordial invi
tation to visit his home in the pretty
suburban town of Marianao, some eight
miles out of Havana. A short ride on
the train brought us to the station, and
one might easily have imagined oneself
in the ancient city of Fonipeii modern
ized and improved. The houses are all
of one story, with large porticos on the
street. They are built of brick, plas
tered ami painted in high colors, Hat
roofs with white railings around the top
and large open windows, protected with
iron bars or fancy iron frames, the in
variable rule of the country. Long ave
nues of thick foliaged Mexican laurels
furnish a dense shady drive through the
place. The residence of Mr. Lawton is
arranged in the form of the letter K, as
are most of the houses there. A large
parlor opens directly on the portico,
immediately in rear of which is a broad
piazza, blinded, but overlooking a court
yard tilled with llowers, which eerves as
a dining-room. In the wings of the
bulding are a series of sleeping-rooms,
all opening into each other, and also into
the courtyard. The ceilings are all very
high, and arranged expressly for cool
ness. Mrs. Jawton, a most charming
lady, formerly from New Y.orkj received
us with true American hospitality, seem
ing as happy to meet us as if we had
known her always. Through her kind
ness our ladies received many advanta
ges, and we all began to realize how
strong the tie of country becomes when
separated from the fatherland. God
bless her warm and generous heart.
May life spent so far from home b
brightened by many a friendly visit
from her countrymen.
A stroll through the crowded parks
ami a drive through the brilliantly il
luminated streets occupied our evening.
Next day our gentlemen went on a shop
ping excursion, to which the ladies were
not invited. It would be easy to imag
ine they returned laden with boxes of
cigars lor themselves and all their par
ticular friends, you know, at home, tak
ing good care to caution their devoted
wives before they started out not to in
dulge too freely in laces and fancy
articles; they were simply extrava
gances that could be done without.
Cigars will last so long and be so useful,
while laces soon go off in smoke and
are fontrotten.
Never too Late to Learn.
Socrates, at an extreme old age learned
to play on musical instruments.
Cato, at SO years of age, learned to
speak the Greek language.
Plutarch, when between "0 and SO,
commenced the study of Latin.
Boccaccio was ,v years of age when
he commenced ids 'studies in light lit
erature, yet he became one of the
greatest masters of the Tuscan dialect
Dante and Petrarch being the other two.
Sir II wiry Spelman neglected the
sciences in his youth, but commenced
the study of them when he was between
50 and CO years of age. After this time
he became a most learned antiguarian
and lawyer.
Doctor Johnson applied himself to
the Dutch language but a few years
before his death.
Ludovico Monaldesco, at the great
age of 115, wrote the memoirs of his
own times.
Ogibly, the translator of Homer and
Virgil, was unacquainted with Latin and
Greek till he was past 50.
Franklin did not fully commence his
philosophical pursuits till he had reached
his oOth year. '
Dryden, in his GSth year, commenced
the translation of the Iliad, his most
pleasing production.
V ronld iro on and cite thousands of
examples of men who commenced a
new Ktndv. cither for livelihood or
amusement, at an advanced age. But
every one familiar with the biography
of diKtiiiL'tiished men will recollect in
dividual cases enough to convince them
that none but the sick and indolent will
ever say, I am too old to learn.
It becomes professed Chiistiansto
take rare that they do not dishonor the
Gospel and its Author by sulxmlinatlng
them to the claims of worldly admira
tion. If others come to the place of
worship with no higher wishes, let the
spirituality of pious hearers "helping
together by prayer," so co-operate with
the preacher that the worldly spirit sliflli
1)0 awed and hushed by the unworldly
influence that pervades the place. The
sermon Mill then le in harmony wfth
the worship. In both God will r ex
alted, and lie will make them a bless
ing and a power.

the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully com

still so effectual as to purge out from the
