Forged Autographs. A man known by the
names of William R. Emerson, Samuel It Hampton,
M. I)., and other aliases, had a hearing before the
Mayor this afternoon upon the charge of obtaining
moneys by false and fraudulent pretenses from citi
zens by means of letters forged, purporting to bo
the original signatures and writings of eminent men
f past ages. The evidence showed thut he
would get hold of an original letter and trace copies
of the same, then dipping them in coffee would
give color of age to the letters. These he would
send to parties having libraries, representing them
to be original, and asking them to purchase them, as
the proceeds were for relatives of the writer, who
were In destitute circumstances. The prices in sono
instances were over20. In isr9 the prisoner was
arrested by Mayor Henry, but at that
time, was not prosecuted. He then went
to Canada and wrote letters from this plaes In the
name of Emma llardlnge. He then went to Balti
more and from there to England, carrying on the
sale of the autographs, whicii he represented to be
original. In London and other places he was ex
posed, but never brought to justice. The evidence
of Detective Franklin showed that Emerson had
made considerable money at his illegal business. In
November, 186H, ho wrote about eighty letters, the
replies beim: sent to Richmond, Va. He received
in answer seventeen letters, three containing money.
The letters were in the name ol Dr. s K. Hampton.
This was his first attempt. His second attempt
was the Jackson lefVers, which was immediately ex
posed in England. Defendant was held to bail for a
further hearing,

the advanced pupils attend school at seuond and

almost wholly devoted to business, and which, on

EUGENIE.
llw Mie Dabble In Politicx, Atlvlsm uio
Icon nnd l)oe Whatever hlie Wishes.
A correspondent writing from Paris relative to tho
Empress's Eastern Journey, says:
One reason for the choice of bo late a day was early
et afloai by Madame Rumor: that it was to enable
Eugenie to kill two birds with one stone to go to
E?).PK an'l 10 take ner accustomed place at the coun
sii,tble when the Chambers are called together. If
ttie day for their meeting had been tho 2tith of this
month she could not, of course, have made her East
ern trip; and. indeed, It was said that when there
eemed reason to think the earlier, constitutional,
rials would be decided upon, Eugenie at once gave
, op her journey, and only resumed her preparation
lor lt wiieo assured by her hosoond that he would
ut a..ow any aosurd predilections in favor of his
own constitution to Interfere with her wishes. That
Engenle had anything to do with the Anal, unlucky
decision, baa been strongly denied, with a serai
official air by, 1 believe, the I'atrie, and It was Killed,
at the same time, that the popular notion that the
Empress exercises a great Influence upon the policy
of the Government, is equally mistaken. I doubt if
this point-blank assertion found many so credulous
as to believe It.
That Eugenie has always meddled In politics, and
that she still does so ; that she Is, as is finite natural,
always manoeuvring for her son; and that, in case
a regency is, for any reason, made necssary, she
will make a stroke for the regency In her own per
son; that she Is the life and soul of tho French
movement against Italy, And that she sent the sol
diers to Rome, and kepi them there who, outside of
a little circle of Imperialists, does not believe ? And
the belief of a whole population, strengthened by
years of observation upon passing events, is not to
be broken up by a simple newspaper paragraph.
What makes It liiiily enough that the wishes
and interests of Kugiil ; may have been con
sulted In fixing so laie'a day for the convocation, is
that It Is the only reason which Ins any reason In It
It, cannot nave been on iiec'iuntof Louis Napoleon's
health, for -that was us completely restored a week
ago as It Is ever likely to tie. Th Leg s'ativo body,
then, will have to wait tcr 'in; return of her majesty,
lis the trains for Versailles had to wait the other day
for her departure!
I mav add here, that if the French people arc ex
pected'to believe that Louis Napoleon's wife plavs
no part In politics, the Austrian people, according to
all accounts, are by no ni.-a'is of that opinion, oill
clall.v her reception in Vienna lias been all that
could have been desired, and the people have
thronged in crowds to see tin fireworks and Illumi
nations, but Eugenie herself has been treated bv the
people with merely respectful politeness, mingled
with a natural curiosity.
A 1'KAUK
A Ioiiiik Fellow Pnliulnir Himself (Ml ns
President (ii'iiMI'it NciiIkmv.
We lind the following iu tho IIVM Munich cor i
l'c.,puudence : ;
1 lind a curious story about a self-styled nephew
of "liencral Urant," wli.th.is hern astonishing the
natives in the Austrian Tyrol. The case is interest
ing psychologically. A young fellow of twenty, em-
ployed in a savingf bank at a salary of iloo ilorlns ,
(Hiioiit sine) a year, hiw who had been so employed
for Rome six inonllis, was set to count iis.ooo florins
in bank notes, which tiie bank was to forward to
Innsbruck. This was Ht Liinz, the town whose
bishop got himself locked up Uio other day for con
tumaciously resisting the law.
The handling of these rustling, mighty bank notes
was too much for the poor lad's weak wits. It liter
ally made him drunk ; drunk with vague desires and
bewildering dreams; drunk as by the touch of
Aladdin's lamp. He privilv abstracted 2-'oo florins
from the pile, gave the rest, to his chief us "all right,"
nnd, at the close of business hours, bolted. Kor
three days he was neither seen nor heard of. The
deficit was discovered at once, of course, and tho
police were set on the track of the defaulter. On the
sixth day after his lit of abstraction took him, he was
captured at St. Oilgal In the mountains. He had
rushed oil' it seems, at once from Linn for a tour
r ii timiul Hciinettr. "Being very dark, almost a mu
latto," says the narrative, "lie thought to pass Him
self oil' for an American."
Very nattering this to the pure Yankee race! He
registered his name at the hotel as "Lewis Urant,"'
said he was "a nephew" of the immortal 11. Sidney
l lysses Samuel, exhibited a dagger which he de
clared had been "presented to his grandmother by
t lie mother of the late Abraham Lincoln," and sig
nalized himself everywhere by the most astounding
nnd proluse geneio'sity. One v.aiier testified that
the noble youth gave hiiii ' live tlotins' ;fv;r bringing
htm a glass of vino. Another said, ''1 ilitive served
many great, lords: never one so lavish ;as this one."
He Insisted on presenting the land
lord of the inn wtiere "stopped''
with a liandsonie sunn-box, saying, 'it is my custom
to give everybody a gilt." Lewis Grant's last per
formance before his arrest was to cause the land
lord at St. Uilgal to invite all the village, at his ex
pense, to a grand ball. For tills te Insisted on
having the American (lag hoisted on the highest
point near the lake. The landlord was all com
pliance But where to lind the flag of the free'.'
Lewis (irant kindly condescended to have one
made. Ha sent for the village tailor and caused
that, worthy to const met a "flag of thrco
white stripes on a red ground, with a
blue field in the corner and seven stars thereon."
This all St. Uilgal took to be the "star-spangled ban
ner," greeted it with loud acclaim, danced and drank
beer under It, and wondered gladly at the grace and
generosity of our truly noble countryman. It sounds
jike a scene from a vaudeville, docs it not? But it is
tin, simple story of a hanlcss young scamp gone mad
people or
intance
working
town.
DISASTER.
Explosion of '.'.nfc In n ffnffj Works Shnft-l-'ou
Men Injured.
rrolh lie f m'fam! Leader of Tuesday.
Yesterday morning at half-past 9 o'clock, the men
working in tho water works, near tho lake shore,
discovered that gas was bubbling up out of the water,
which is about a fool deep at the bottom of the pit.
They worked there sonic time without experiencing
any Inconvenience. They were all working in the
bottom of the pit, rilling a large bucket with dirt and
bringing it up to be emptied us of ten as filled. Tho
accident happened as they were coming out of the
pit, Two of them were standing in the bucket and
the third right on the edge.
A fourth person was standing at, the mouth of the
pit looking down. As they had come up abaut thirty
leet from the bottom of thd pit, one of them lit a
mulch, and the explosion then Immediately took
place. Men then near said it sounded like distant I
t hunder. The earth seemed to shako beneath their
feet. Tho llrst thing they saw on looking towards j
the pit was several timbers Hying tlirougn the ulr, i
and then thev heard the cries of the three persons
in the pit- The man standing at the mouth of t ho
shaft, Hie dumper, was but little injured, and with
two other workmen immediately descended Into tho .
nit to irive relief to his comrades. James Morrison,
Who resides at No. Mulberry street, was standing
on tho rim of the bucket, and wa3 thrown up i
lnio the iitraiul fell flown, a distance, of front thirty .

as Mulberry street. The third sufferer, whose name
we could not lea'n, appeared mow injured that uny
of the others. Bis lace and body were very badly
burned. Dr. N. B. Wilson was Immediately sum
moned to the scene of the calamity and with Dr.
Prentiss, who soon uft-r arrived, brought every
nossible relief to the sufferers, (me -was taken to
the Wilson street Hospital and the others to their I
homes on Mulberry street.
our reporter was on the ground about an hour
after the accident took phiee, and learned the above
particulars from the workmen preseutand from Dr.
Wilson. No work was then being done. At tho bot
tom of the pit gas was still bubbling fortli and sent
an odor up to the surface of the ground. Ttie heavy
beams above had la-en wrenched completely out oi
place, and boards were Iving forly feet, oil", wlieiv
they had been thrown by i lie explosion. Tho result
ol the accident was aiso seen iu deep cracks mi l
fissures in the solid brick wall, which was shukcu us
if bv an earthiiuake.
The clothes worn by the three victims were all thai
remained on the irroiuul to show the effect of Hi
oicldent. Tlicirt'osts, pantaloons, and shirts were
lllied with large hob s, burnt by tno sudden flame,
and show that the wl.de nodv was almost enve
loped at the siiuie time. Noonekuew why the ma'ch
was lighted, but the dumper says ij was merely to
see whether there was any gas so high up.

Iter. Ileman Ilnnes.
From the Sewllaven Journal, .You. 3.
We are called upon this morning to make the pain
ful announcement of the death of the venerable
Hev. Ileman Uaups, whicii took place yesterday at
his residence, No. 90 Howe street, after an Illness
lasting many weeks. Kev. Mr. llanos had reached
the advanced ace of seventy-nine, and has been for
raany years past one of the foremost preachers
of the Methodist Church In the New York
East Conference. For more than forty years
he has been an active aud eifectiv'e min
ister, having been settled during that
time in several places, one of which was thpi Second
M. E. Church In St. John street, in this citv. Kor
seveial years he was the Presiding Elder for the
New Haven District, and last year was the Presiding
Elder of the South Long Island District, which in
cludes a large part of the city of Ilrooklvn. At the
last Annual Conference, held in Mlddletown, he
stated that Increasing years and falling strength
rendered it necessary for him to give up the active
duties of the ministry, and he Intimated his desire
to not engage further In active work, which wish
was granted, and at the same time, through the
effort of a few friend", ho was presented with $:)0ao.
The occasion was one of great interest to all the
clergy present. No man in ttie Conference was
known more intimately and favorably than the de
ceased. Passing through a ministry of over forty years, in
which he performed much arduous but poorly com
pensated labor, he, by hU active, earnest, ami most
zealous etlorts, built up and strengthened the
Church wherever he was stationed, and won to his
side warm and lifelong friends. At the camp meet
ing ami the revival his plain, practical, and stronir
common-sense stylo of presenting the Divine truth
had a powerful effect, and brought many a penitent
within the fold of the Church. He was everywhere
known as an ardent, faithful worker, an unostenta
tious man, a zealous, large-hearted christian,
whose death will be learned with deep regret
by all members of this vinirch, and sincerely
lamented by thousands who have labored in other
parts of the Lord's vineyard.

A Relle In .Missouri.
From the Hamilton Mu.) Ac ten.
Itecenrly we visited tho ruins of the ancient city of
the Latter Day Saints. About thirty years ago the
Mormons took forcible possession of a tract of land
about two miles square, situated on tho bluffs of
tirand river, in Daviess county, .Missouri, intending
to erect temples of worship, etc. They laid out thu
city of Diamond, and in a short time had congre
gated several hundred devotees. They subsisted by
depredations committed upon the people of tho ad
jacent country. From the settlers who were co-existent
with them wc learn that the Mormons took
possession of tho dwellings located within their
chosen spot of earth, and burned the dwellings of
those In immediate proximity to them. They pre
tended that, through, revelation made to them, they
knew that to be the veritable tiarden of Eden; that
here repose the remains of Adam. There are, in
deed, some striking peculiarities In this spot of
ground, one of the chief products of whicii is an end
less amount of crab apples, which to them, perhaps,
answer to the "forbidden fruit." But of the city no
thing but ruins remain. Their cemetery is now a
cornfield.

SOHENQK'S OOUUMfM.
CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
BEAD THE EVIDENCE,
"Facts are stubborn things," nnd It fa to taots
alone that it is desired to direct the Attention of
the readers of this article.
Many years of severe and thorongb practical
trial have demonstrated beyond the perad venture
of a doubt the fact that the medicines prepared
by me, nnd known as SCIIENCK'S MANDRAKE
TILLS, SCIIENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC, and
SCIIENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP, have proved",
extraordinarily successful In tho cure of diseases
of tho Pulmonary organs, or what is usually
termed CONSUMPTION.
I am fully aware that there are many persons
whoso prejudices rule them so completely that
"proofs strong as Holy Writ" would fail to con
vince them of tho cflieacy of my remedies; and
that there aro others who, under no circum
stances, could bo prevailed upon to admit their
merits, simply because such an admission would
prove detrimental to their particular pcrsoual
interests.
Fortunately for the welfare of mankind, those
doubting people form a comparatively small
portion of the community at largo. They are to
be found here and there, but, compared with the
ereat ir.ass of the world's population, their num
bers are sw small that I dismiss tbem, and ad
dress myself to those who are willing to listen to
the dictates of reason, r.nd who are disposed to
admit the strong logic of wcll-esUtblishcd facts.
We are told almost dally that Consumption,
the scourge of die American people, is Incurable;
that a man whoso lungs are diseased must be
given over to die; that he must abandon hope;
and that the arrangement of his temporal its well
as spiritual affairs should claim his earliest atten
tion. If there were not facia as undeniable as
that the sun will shine in a clear heaven at mid
day to controvert these random and not nnt're
quently hnrmful assertions, I should feel un
willing to take np the gage of battle against
them; but, fortified with results aef which
neither theory nor mere assertion can overturn,
and PULMONIC SYRUP will, If used in strict
accordance with the directions, in a majority of
cases effect that which the faculty pronounces
Impossible they will cure Consumption.
An ounce of solid fact is worth a pound o!
theory. Let me, therefore, present the facts
connected with my own individual experience.
Many years ago I was a confirmed consinuptive,
and, like thousands of other uufortunatcs, was
given up to die. Eminent physicians pro
nounced my case u hopeless one, and told me
that if I had any preparations to make for the
final solemn event, that I had better make them
speedily. I believed this just ns confidently as
did the persons who thus affectionately informed
me that my days were numbered and that re
covery was impossible. Still, the desire to live
lingered In my bosom. I was young, and clung
to life with the same tenacity that young mon.
nnd old men too, ordinarily do. I did not feel
willing to abandon hope as long .is a single ves
tige of It remained. I had full faith in the sad
information conveyed to mo by my physicians,
but still there was a lingering belief that some
thing could be done, though I knew not in what
direction to seek for the riiuch-desired relief.
It was at this gloomy and eventiul period of
my history that I first learned of the roots and
herbs from which my remedies for this dreaded
disease aro now prcpurcd. I procured and used
them, and, to the utter amazement of all phy
sicians, friends, and neighbors began to im
prove. My entire system commenced to undergo
a complete renovation. Expectoration, which,
formerly had been diiUcult and painful, now be
came comparatively easy. I threw off dally
laree quantities of offensive yellow matter. At
tne samo time my long-iost appetite returned.
i nte irceiy et sue 11 loou as was palatable to me,
and which was at the same time nutritious and
wholesome. Expectoration became less copious
aud less offensive; exhausting night sweats
ceased ; the racking and harassing cough abated ;
tue lever uroMj; me pain departed; llcsu planted
itself on my sadly-wasted frame, and with flesU
came strength aud full health. From a more
Ekeleton 1 became u stout, stroutr. robust man
and I have maintained both strength and flesh:
to this day. I weigh two hundued aud thirty
live pounds; I um blest with an nppe'.ite vouch
safed to bnt few men, while my digestive organs
arc amply equal to all the requirements of a
healthful condition of my system.
isow, 00 it remembered, all these wonderful
changes were wrought by ttio use of the medi
cines 1 prepare main LivKrj I ILLS, SEA
WEED TONIC, and PULMONIC SYRUP. A.
eure eecmingiy so miraculous naturally created
astonitihmep iu tho minds of those who knew
me. L war, literally besieged on all sides. I had
visitors daily who besought mo to give them the
remedies which had wrought the wonderful
restoration aud bad wrested mo from the very
aws 01 aeatu. Letters were reeeivcti uy scores
mportuning mo to Impart the secret and inform.'
the writers where the specifics for consumption
could be obtained. Others, who were too weak
to travel, not satisfied with writing, sent for and
consulted nio in regard to their cases. To all
thei-e applications I responded as I was able.
I had fully regained my health, aud gratitude
for the happy result prompted me to turn my
attention to the science of medicine, with the
hope of thereby beiug able to bo of service to
my sintering ieiiow-ereaiures. 1 acvotou myseil
tloeely to my studies, nnd more especially to
that branch of them relating to the terrible dis
ease from which I had suffered so long and so-
mueu. x incMiiucu it 111 uu u icanui puases,
in order to assure myself that my case was not
un exceptional one. The closer my Investiga
tions the more satisfactory were my conclusions.
I felt convinced that tens of thousands of my
fellow-creatures wero dying annually from con
sumption whoso cases were not us desperate and
apparently nopeicss ns mine nau ueen, ana 1
argued from this that remedies which had proven
so effective with me would prove equally so with,
others. I prepnred my medicines In a pleasant
nnd attractive form, and announced them to the
world. Tho results aro well known. Thou
sands of 6uitering men, women, and children,
who wero on their way to the grave, have been
cured, and aro to-day living evidences of the
fact that CONSUMPTION CAN lsE CURED;
and I think I may say, without arrogating t
myself anymore than is justly my due, that I
have had as much experience in the treatment
of consumption ns any other person in the coun
try, and that my success has been wonderfully
great.
Let the reader remember that these are not
mere fancied statements. They aro positive
livinir facts of which I am the llvlnsr evidence.
There is an old adage which says, "What has
been done may bo done." I have been com
platcly cured of consumption by the remedies I
now oiler to the public. Thousands of others
have testified to similar happy results from their
use, and thousands of others still might be bene
fitted as I have been could they but be prevailed
upon to try tho virtue of Ttie Mandrake Fills,
tuaveed Tonic, and i'w'inonio Syrup. All that
Is necessary to convince the moat skeptical of
their merits is a fair trial. . .
Full directions accompany each of tho medi
cines, so that it is not absolutely necessary that
patients should see me personally, unless they
