on board the United States steamship Chattanooga,

The Her. William D. Siegfried is a gentleman who
is not altogether unknown to the public Those
especially who are in toe habit of perusing the ad
vertisements ot patent mudioinos and nostrums of
11 sorts, have olten ruu across his name at the loot
of an eloquent tribute to tho Imarvellous efficacy of
sundry, universal cuiealls. Ue hu also contrived
to keep his name si-mi-ocoasionally boiore the
publio as the manager of a Home tor Wanderers,
which was located until of late in tae lower por
tion of tbo city, but is now removed to some point
up the Dolawaie.
A lew months ago Mr. Siegfried was officiating as
the pastoi ota small but entirely respeatau.e congre
gation in the northern section ot the city. While
thus engaged his mind became excited over the
wonderlul turns in the wheel of fortune which
ocourred to the benefit of sundry speculators in ml
with whom he had some acquaintance. Under the
inspiring influence of petroleum ibegospei became
exceedingly dry in comparison, and his labors in
the cause thereof exceedingly lukewarm.
The temptation to add a mite to the worthy
laborer's proverbial hire was too strong to be re
sisted. Following the example ot thousands ot
others, whoe minds were as well-balanced and
Whose integrity was as unquestioned as his own, he
took on interest in a well. This be divided up into
an indefinite number of shares, ana by means of his
standing in the church and Ida community he suc
ceeded in disposing ot them1 in a manner that
was entirely satisfactory to himsolf. Satis
factory to himself alone it proved, how
ever; and as time panned tho Rev. William D.
Siegfried acquired a rathur unsavory reputation in
his neighborhood, being openly acousoa ot finan
cial operations which by no means became a saint.
Legal proceedings were hula in ihe case, we behove,
but with no very pratuvinc lesult to the dupes of
the reverend speculator. Finally he resigned his
ministerial charge, under the professed plea that be
bad acquired such a snug Hit u iortune that bono
longer enjoyed an easy conscience wlil.e serving as
a hireling priest; and with the avowed determina
tion of ottering his services to some congregation
who, bv iei son ot their poverty, were unable to
sustain becomingly a minister to their spiritual
wants.
As to the tnannrr in which the Rev. Mr. Siegfried
bas carried out this laudable and truly apostolio
determination, an incident transpired yesterday
alternoon in the office of Alderman Dougherty,
throwing conslderab o light upon it. Mr. Siegfried
was brought belore tbe Alderman on a warrant
charging him with adulieiy and the larceny ot $20u0,
under circumstances ot a very pooul.ar but not loss
shocking character. .
.The prosecutrix in the oaso was a young woman
with a pleasing lace, but possessed of iiwol tho
accomplishments ot fashionable liie. She was rep
resented bv William it. flood. Esq., and when nut
upon her oath deposed to the loilowing state of
laotst
She gave her name as Mrs. Byard, and her age as
twenty-eight years. Her original residenoe, and that
of ber ianilly, was the Utile town ot I'ouieroy, in the
(State ot Ohio. She had been married onoo, but
death bad deprived ber of husband aud all other
who were near akin. .Leaving Fomeroy, she had
proceeded to Fitt-burg , where she resided for a time
with a brother-in-law, who was steward of a vessel,
and therelore absent from bis home for a considera
ble portion ot the time.
As she was passing along the street one evening
she was accosted by a gentleman, who tapped her
familiarly upon the shoulder, and proceeded to enter
npon a conversation The lady asaured him that
she was not accustomed to pick up acquaintance', but
the gentleman persisted in his attentions, aud finally
auoceeded in overcoming ber soruples so .tar as to
induce her to aocompunv him ta Concert Hall
where the marvelous "Blind Tom" was discoursing
his musical stiains. Alter the concert had closed,
the gen tleman, whose name was "Mr. Jones," de
sired tbe pleasure ot tbe ladv's company to Wheeling
and return. A gentleman resident in that oitv with
whom be bad bad sundry dealings in tbe matter of
oil, yet owing mm me mtie sum ot kiuuo.
Mr. Jones i desired to collect this Item. It Is to tie
presumed that be succeeded in bis mission, tor on
their return from Wheeling the next day he ap
peared to be in funds presenting trie lady with the
magnificent total of $6.
Ihe generosity ot ur. Jones did not stop at this
Tiemt. however tin ort red to conduct the ladv to
Philadelphia, and there provide for her in a perma
nent and generous manner. rJiie accepted his kind
proposition, and tbev at once started on tootr jour
ney. Being a long one, and continuing over night,
tney took a state room together m a sleeping car
W hen the ladv bad disrobed, the gentleman made
a discovery which interested him not a little. I his
proved to be a muslin ueK walch she bad horaelf
constructed, and wore next her person. On in-
airing into the contend, of the belt, the lady at
first thought it best not to maice anv disclosures.
but she was finally over-persuaded, and confessed
that there was secreted in it no less a sum than
2000
She bad inherited lrom ber mother, three years
bef ore, tbe sum ot 88000, and these V2000 were the
remnants Mr. Jones infeirnd irom this raoid ex
penditure that bis travelling companion was not a
sale person to have tbe custody of suoh a large sum
ot ready cash, and so he benevolently offered to take
care ot it lor ber
So the matter was arranged, and in due course of
time they reached t. is city. .Becoming anxious then
about her little fortune, she begged Mr. Jones to re
turn it into her nossesslon.
This Mr. Jones declined to do, arguing sueolouslv
that bo could and would take much better care ot it
than she herself could, and she finally oonsented to
the Arrangement.
The gentleman then procured lodging lor her In
Pace street, visiting her frequent y by day, but
spend tig the night in the Dosom oi nis lamuv else--where,
lie was a lit known a Mr. Jones and the
lady a Ins coueln. - But the latter, on dtsoovenng

Hthii Tact' she came to ibe thrown entirely npon

without tbe character that was necessary to enable
ber to earn an honest livelihood.
PTfvions to her acquaintance with Sir. Jones, she
stated npon her solemn oath that she had never de

During ber residence In the city, Mr. Jones, has at
various times furnished hor with money In sma I
amounts, sometime with the paltry sum of a single
dollar. . .
j When pressed to repav tho 92000 which he had
taken into nis custody, ue pad declined for trie
alleged reason that he had suffered severe lopses in
tbe course of bis oil speculations, and had, moreover,
to suffer from the losses he sustained by many of his
co-speculators.
Thus the case stood on the lady's own sbowin.
Fevcral witnesses, who are sup Honed to be oof ul
aant of tbe most material facta in the case, were
subpoenaed, tut none of them appeared.

Odd Expression s. In view of the all-
prevalent use of slang phrases, we would suggest
that some of our enterpruing publishers would do
well to print a comprehensive dictionary ot oul-ot-the-way
expressions. Our young men and
maidens indulge in language to-day which would
have astonished and disgusted their grandparent.
The iaBt young man, wnon ne wonia arms tana
that's always), asks for a "wash." When be would
smoke be demands "a torou." When be eats he
"wiestles bis hash." Wben he is drunk ne is
"swlpsey." When he gambles be "slings the paste
boards." When be sleeps be is "under the bdnks,"
and when hn steals be "goes through somebody."
His fiiends are "gay duck," no Blouches," "bully

"suckers." A good writer ' slings a nasty quill " A
dancer "throws herself into a dangling attitude."
