If an in-<lb />vestigation could be made, he went<lb />on, it would most likely be found<lb />that this unclaimed sum was nearer<lb />$5,000,000 than $2,500,000.<lb /><lb />A most curious case was that of a<lb />wealthy merchant in Leadenhall<lb />street, whose forgetfulness was a<lb />byword. Ten years ago he placed<lb />$50,000 in his bank, to his private ac-<lb />count, and immediately forgot. all<lb />about it, having neglected to fill up<lb />the counterfoil in his deposit book.<lb /><lb />A few months ago, while tearing<lb />up some old papers, he came across<lb />a penciled note bearing the words:<lb />~o~Bank $50,000," and a date which<lb />he was unable to decipher. He made<lb />inquiries into the matter, and found<lb />that be was wealthier than he<lb />thought by $50,000, with interest.<lb />How he overlooked the amount it is<lb />difficult to say. He is still noted<lb />for the haphazard way in which he<lb />keeps his private accounts.<lb /><lb />The old woman who forgot the ex-<lb />istence of a legacy of $1,000 a fear<lb />from her master was another in-<lb />stance of carelessness. Here the<lb />old lady, a one-time housekeeper,<lb />could hardly read or write. When<lb />she received a letter from her late<lb />masterTs solicitors to the effect that<lb />the legacy would be paid quarterly<lb />on @pplication at a city bank the<lb />lucky woman for a fortnight was<lb />noue the wiser.<lb /><lb />The important look of the seal on<lb />the envelope and the fine note paper<lb />caused her to make inquiries, and a<lb />friendly neighbor, after much effort,<lb />spelled through the letter. The<lb />old lady, who was in poor circum-<lb />stances, could not believe the good<lb />news. and so, without going to the<lb />bank, she decided that the letter was<lb />a hoax.<lb /><lb />Five years passed away, when her<lb />only son"a soldier"returned from<lb />India. One day he. accidentally<lb />came across the letter, readit, and<lb />asked his old mother the particulars.<lb />But her mind was a complete blank<lb />on the subject. However, the son<lb />'| madeinquiries, and the result was<lb />that his mother and he found $5,000<lb />awaiting them at the bank and the<lb />promise of $1,000 a year during the<lb />forgetful oid ladyTs lifetime.<lb /><lb />Old misess who have amassed<lb />small fortunes have more than once<lb />destroyed their bank books and all<lb />evidence showing they were pos-<lb />25253 af money. and in this war 2=°<lb /><lb />well-known Dang Orice vénentean +O<lb />the extent of $40,000. None of the<lb />relatives of the old man knew of<lb />his fortune, and such things are<lb />never the concern of the bank.<lb /><lb />The money was kept in the de-<lb />positorTs name for five years, when<lb />it passed into the bankTs own ac-<lb />count. No doubt, if a claimant<lb />came forward, they would give the<lb />money up, but they would probably<lb />fiercely fight the case if the evidence<lb />on the other side showed any weak<lb />loopholes.<lb /><lb />At present there is money in dif-<lb />ferent banks in the metropolis<lb />which never will be claimed, for<lb />naturally a bank is not inclined to<lb />go to great trouble in finding right-<lb />ful owners if they fail to come for-<lb />ward of their own aecount.<lb /><lb />BLACK ROSES.<lb />The Unique Production of a German<lb />Gardener.<lb /><lb />We learn, on good authority, that<lb />a certain enterprising gardener has<lb />at last succeeded in producing a<lb />black rose"~~as black as soot,� as<lb />he proudly declares. Perhaps it is<lb />needless to say that this persevering,<lb />but rather melancholy, person is a<lb />German. So far his achievement is<lb />unique, though green roses were ob-<lb />tained some time ago by a member<lb />of his fraternity. Science, we sup-<lb />pose, makes every experiment worth<lb />while, otherwise one would be<lb />tempted to question whether the re-<lb />salt were worth the trouble taken,<lb />as a black rose certainly cannot,<lb />from a purely Philistine point of<lb />view, be considered as beautiful as a<lb />pink or yellow one. Moreover, the<lb />good man is a trifle behind the<lb />times, since the artificial flower<lb />makers succeeded in making us all<lb />thoroughly tired of black roses quite<lb />a twelve-month ago. It is tobe<lb />hoped that the craze for unnaturally<lb />colored flowers will not spread,<lb />otherwise we shall see black lilies,<lb />like those in the mosaic pavement of<lb />Santa Maria de Flori, in Forence,<lb />and what a misfortune that would<lb />be."Lady.<lb /><lb />Queer Pool Playing.<lb /><lb />~~There are many ways of playing<lb />pool, but the queerest way I ever<lb />saw the game played was at the<lb />Louisville hotel the other night,�<lb />said arounder. ~~He was a young<lb />man, and was the admired of every<lb />pool player in the room.<lb /><lb />~He played with two cues, but<lb />never struck a ball with his cue. He<lb />held acue in each hand, with the<lb />points touching. He picked his cue<lb />ball up with the cues and rolled it<lb />back into the groove formed by hold-<lb />ing the cues nearly together.<lb /><lb />oThen he took aim, and slanting}<lb /><lb />his cues down let the cue ball shoot<lb />down. the improvised ve.
