THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1870. xr n w-y one x s m a. From Our Own Correnvonatnt. New York, April 2T, 1870. In tho ConfVaelonal. , The reader of these pKos will probably re member that Charles Dickens, la his novel of David Coppcrfleld," In sketching the character of a page whom that hero was weak enough to make part of bis domestic establishment, takes occasion to remark that he was filled with sudden fits of confession, each one more free and open than the Inst, and in the course of which he would own np to everything that he had done wrong, or had Intended to do. Some such prin ciple as this seems to ha?e guided the Mysterious Boy who a conple of weeks ago disappeared from the office of his employers In company of a check for $350, payable at sight. Tho said boy is Bennett by name, and last February reached the mature age of sixteen. lie has already made three separate confessions. The first I have already acquainted you with. It is that he was accosted by a strange man, who mopped his faco with a saturated sponge; that Bennett was conveyed in a state of unconsciousness to an obscure den; that he was drugged for ten consecutive days; and that at the end of that time he found him self penniless in Washington Park, whither he had been mysteriously conveyed. This sounded ' romantic enough for a dime novel, and was confes sion No. 1. No. 2 was to the effect that after draw ing the check he bought himself some clothing, purchased a ticket for Boston, and went to that city and bad a good but unholy time for several days, returning home last Saturday night. Confession No. 3 extends the trip not only as far east as Boston, but as far west as Chicago, and winds np with a Green-street bagnio previous to his return home. Number three is probably nearest the truth, but probably numbers four, five, and six will come nearer yet, until the bull's-eye shall be hit. One of the effects of Bennett's absence was to kill off a benevolent gentleman who had taken a fancy to him and adopted him. In addi tion to his other trouble this poor man grieved so hopelessly over the mysterious absence of his protege that it is probable his death was caused almost as much by a broken heart as anything else. A One-String Teloclpedestrlnn. A Mr. August Slegrlst, Jr., is performing a very remarkable feat at the Bowery. It (con sists in riding a velocipede npon a single wire from the back of the stage across the parquette to the second tier of boxes, as well as returning. He performs this feat very neatly and fearlessly, and this is more than can be said of most of the recent entertainments in that line at this forlorn establishment. Soapstone T.nna;. In one ot the suburbs of New York a man has just died who possessed the remarkable faculty of breathing through a pair of lungs which ap peared to be fashioned out of a material resem bling soapstone. Two or three days ago he in terfered between two boys who were fighting. The father of one of them in return came out and struck him a severe blow on the head. The next day the man who was struck died. To de termine the cause a post-mortem examination was made, and it was discovered that through the process of disease his lungs had been entirely transformed into a substance exactly similar to soapstone. As a natural consequence the man who hit him on the head was exonerated, and the soapBtone was brought in guilty. Taking Possession. Two evenings ago a lady bearing evidences of Irish descent in her accent and general appear ance rang the bell of a quietly-handsome resi dence In one of the most respectable streets of the city, and inquired if the gentleman of the house was home. The door happened to be opened, as luck would have it, by the lady of the house, who appears to have had her own reasons for replying that he was not. In that particular bouse, however,' the salla-a-manqer, instead of being downstairs, happened to be upon the parlor floor, and the lady from Erin, rapidly slipping past the one who had opened the door, darted into the dining-room, where, to her gratification, but not to her surprise, the master of the house sat quietly sipping his tea, and eating his bread and butter and currant jelly. The lady of the house, leaving her sta tion at the front door and following the strange visitor into the dining-room, of course a dtnone ment was improvised. The gentleman dropped his currant-jelly sandwich and gazed at the visitor In monosyllabic horror. "Jane !" was all he was able to exclaim. 'What means this, Willyum?" interrogated the lady of the house, laying upon his shoulder, with a grasp of iron, those same fingers which had cut and spread the bread-and-butter slices. "It means, ma'am," said Jane, "that this man is my husband; that he married me six years ago in Ould Oireland, and that for five years I've never set eyes upon him."' Before the sentence was completed "Willyum" had started up, seized his hat trom the rack in the ball, and fled from the house, and the two wives were. left alone. The precise terms in which the interview was conducted will of -course ' never be known, but certain it is that she wfiom we have mentioned as the lady of the house followed "Willyum" that self-same night, and "Jane" remained in triumphant possession. Not only that; it has since been intimated that she intends selling everything of .value that the place contains, and making off with the pro ceeds. The nine points of law represented in possession are in her favor. An Bab a. nilSICAL AUD IKAIT1ATIC. The CJICT AmuMnrati, At the Academy of Music Siirnor Jrlgnoli's season of Italian opera will conclud to-night with Donizetti's comic opera of Don 'asauale and the third act of Faust, in which' iBrignoli will appear for the first time as "Faust MISS UARL.OTTA JrATTl Will maKO .aDnearances inouera in this citv on the tier first Bvenlngs of Monday and Tuesday next, when she will sustain trie role of "ine yueen oi jxigm in Mozart's Magio Flute A matinee will be given on Wednesday.

At the Walnut Mr. and Mrs. Barney Wil - lams continue to attract crowded houses, aud they appear to be as popular at ever. The Connie Hoogati, with which they have coin tnenced the second week of their engagement, is one of the best and most popular pieces In their repertoire, and it affords ample opportuni ties for the display of those qualities that de light the admirers of Mr. aud Mrs. Williams. The play is acted in a spirited manner, and apparently to the entire satisfaction of the audi ence. This e7enlug the Connie Uoogah will be repeated.

We call attention to the statement of th Maiieechasetta Mutual Life Insnranoe Company in another eoluma, This institution eonimandi itself moat strongly to tha confi dence of all who ha? interest in tho subject of Lifa Insur ance. A glane at tha report will show extreme careful naea and aklll in the management of ita affaire. The in vestment are of the moat substantial oharacter, and sire asaurano to the poller holder that their money fa placed almost beyond the chance of leaa, and the dividend com pare moat faTerably with thoae of any other company. The law of Massachusetts whioh reqnire the oompanie char tered by that State te keep their policies in full force while the premium paid for iniurano are inexhauited, render this company especially attractive to thoee who desire te avail themaolveeef the advantage ef Life In raranoe, and who would not have their care rendered use lew through the chance ef audden aickaeaa or other ina bility to meet their premium on the very day they fall due.

A Welcome Dihh at the Table, and at the Oonca of the Invalid. The counties way ia which the Sea Moss Farina may be ntilized in cookery, the immense number ef dishes some plain and simple, other of the most delicate and delioion nature to which it Impart not enly all that is desirable in quality, but a wonderful increase of quantity, are among ita strongest recommend ations. There is no kind of farinaoeou preparations, no kind ef soup or gravy ia which it may not be used to ad vantage; and the blano mange, puddings, custards, oreams, jollies, gruel, etc, made from it are not only un surpassed, but. in our opinion, unequalled. Invalid Whose stomachs are so eaaaltlv as So reject all ordinary preparation for the sick-room, And no difficulty ia re taining and digesting the light and nourishing food ef whish this article form the basis. On the score ef economy the Sea Mesa Farina is cer tainly Infinitely preferable to any ef the starches, farinas, gelatines, etc, made from the oeroals or from maize. We are assured that a paokage of it, costing only twenty-five cents, will produce no ls than sixteen quart ef blano mange, jelly, custard, or Moss Farine cream. The quan tity aeem almost inoredible, but the statement is made on good culinary authority, and our reader can easily tost it accuracy for themselves. Sometimes a cold will not yield to ordinary. BEMEDIES, because of the severe inflammation of th.' delicate lining of the tubes through which the air we breath i distributed to the lungs. This Ot'etruotion produces pain and soreness, hoarseness, oough, i oulty of breathing, heotio fever, and a spitting of blood, matter or phlegm, finally exhausting the strength of the patient, and developing very seiious disease. Dr. Jaynes' Bxpeo terant seldom fail to remove these symptoms by relieving the lung of all obstructing matter, and healing all sore ness. Pleurisy, Asthma, and Bronobiti are likewise cured by this standard remedy, and the reputation it has maintained for pver thirty years afford the best guaranty of it merit. Sold everywhere.
