Particular Notice.
There are many preparations sold under the name of
Bitters, put up in quart bottles, compounded of the
cheapest whiskey or common runt, costing from 20 to
40 cents per gallon, the taste disguised by Anise or
Coriander deed.
This class of Bitters has caused and will continua to
cause,llS long as they can be sold, hundreds to die the
death of the drunkard. By their use the system is
kept continually under the influence of Alcoholic Stint
ulan ts ofthe worst kind, the desire fur Liquor is crea
ted and kept up, and the result is all the horrors at
tendant upon a drunkard's life and death.
For those who desire and will have a Liquor Bitters,
we publish the following receipt. Get One Bottle Hoof.
kart , s Cerma- , Bitters and mix with Three Quarts et'
Good Brandy or Whiskey, and the result will be a prep
aration that will far excel in medicinal virtues and
true excellence any of the numerous Liquor Bitters in
the market, and will Cost much less. YOU will have
all the v irtues_of Hostland's Bitters in connection with
a good article of Liquor, at a much less price than
these inferior preparations will cost you.
Attention Soldiers!
AND THE FRIENDS OF. SOLDIERS.
We call the attention of all baying relations and
friends in the army to the fact . that "1100FLAND'S
German Bitters" will cure nine tenths of the diseases
induced by exposures and privations incident to camp
life. In the lists, published almost daily its the news
pencil), on the arrival of the s'ek, it will be noticed
that a very large proportion are suffering from debili
ty. Every case of that kind can be readily cured by
Hoolland's German Bitters. Diseases resulting from
disorders of the digestive organs are speedily removed.
We have no hesitation in seating that, if these Bitters
were freely used among our soldiers, hundreds of lives
might be saved that. °theme ice will be lost.
We call particular attention to the following re
markable and well authenticated cure of one of the
nation's heroes, whose life, to use his own language,

A Detective's Story.
The following is a true story, by a
late well known member of the detee.
Live service, and, with the exception
of some names of persons and pia•
ces, is given preeisely.as be himself
related it:
Late on Friday afternoon, in the
latter part of Nov.lB—, I was sent
for by the chief of the New York po
lice, and was told there was a case
for rue.' It was a counterfeiting af
fair. Notes had been forged on a:
Pennsylvania bank; two men had
been apprehended, and were in cue•
tody. The first, Springer, had turn
ed State's evidence on his accomplice,
Who, according to his account, was
the prime mover in the business.=
This man—Daniel Hawes . by name
—had transferred the notes to a third
party, of whorb nothing had been
ascertained except that he was a
youna man; wrote a beautiful hand,
and tiad been in town the Monday
before. He was the man I was to
catch.
It was sundown when I left the
Superintendent's office. I had not
Much to guide me; there were hun
dreds of young men who wrote a
beautiful hand. and had been in town
lastbiondaY. But I did not trouble
mySelf about what I did not knoW ;
I confined myself to what I- did
know. Upon reflection I thought it
probable that NY bIAN bad been in
intimate ,relations with Hawes for
thelast few days—probably since the
preceding Monday—although it was
not k-:nown that he bad been in town
since that day. He might r►ot be a
resident in the city ; but 1 determin•
ed to seek him here—isinee, if he had
not left town before the arrest of
Springer and Hawes, he would nut
just now run the risk of falling into
the hands of the police by going to
any railroad station or steambOat
I determined, therefore, to follow
up the track of Hawes, and thereby,
if possible,-:strike that of his confed
erate—which was in fact, . all that
could be done.
Hawes was a small broker. He liv
ed in Eighteenth street, and had an
office in Wall street.
He lived too far up town, I thought,
to go home every day to his dinner;
he went, then, most probably, always
to the same eating-house, and one not
far from his office.
After inquiring at several restau
rants near by, I came to one in Lib
erty street, where, on asking if
Hawes was in the habit of dinin g
there, the waiter said yes,
'Have you seen a man hero with
him lately r I inquired.
'No; no one in particular,' replied
the waiter.
'Are you sure of it? Come, think.'
After scratching his head for a mo
ment, he said :
'Yes, there has been a young man
here speaking to him once or twice.'
'How did he look y'
'Tie was short, and had black hair
and eyes!
'Who is he ?. What does he do ?' •
'He is clerk to Mr. L , the
linen importer!
'Where does Mr. live ?'
The waiter did not know. Look
ing into a directory, I ascertained his
residence to be in Fourteenth street.
The stores by this time were closed ;
BO I went immediately to M.r. L---'s
house, and asket to see him. Se
was at dinner.
am sorry to disturb him,' said I
to , the servant ; 'but I wish to speak
to him a moment on a matter of im
portance, and cannot wait.'
Mr. L— came out, evidently an
noyed at the intrusion.
'Have you such a person in your
employment ?' said I, describing him.
'No,-sir ; I have not.'
'You had such_a person ?'
have not now.
'Did you discharge him ?'
'Yes.'
'Why ?' -
'What business is that of yours ?'
he asked, rather huffily.
'My name, sir, is M—, of the de.
festive police. lam after thift fellow
-that's all. Tell me, if you please,
why you discharged him.'
'Oh, I beg your pardon,' said Mr.
L—. took you for one of his
rascally associates. I discharged
him a week or ten days ago. He was
a vet y dissipated, good for nothing
+Was he your book-keeper?'
'No; be was a junior clerk.
4 Have you any of his hand-writing
that you can show me?'
He furnbled in a side pocket and
drew out a pocket-book, from_
be took a memorandum *of agree.
meat, or Eiciine paper of the sort, to
the bottorn Of which a signature was
attached as witness.
'That's his writing,' said he.
It was a'stiff schoolboy's scrawl.
This Was not my man, then. I
ap,nlogiied to Mr. L— for the
trouble" had given him, and with
drew.
Lest time, said Ito myself, I am
on the wiong track. I must go back
to the enting-honse and begin the
chase again from the point where I
left off. ,
I saw the same waiter.
want you to think again,' said
I. 'Try, hard to, remember Whether
there 'waver was any other'man here
with nawes on 'any occasion.'
After" eflecting for a little' while,
he said'lTlthoaght he recollected his
going up'staira not long ago With an-
other man to a private room.
, Did you wait on him yourself at
the time you speak of?' I asked. -
'No ; most likely it was Joe liar
ris.'
`Will !you, send for :him, if you
please ?'•
Yoe Harris came.
'You, waited on Mr. Hawes a few
days ago, when he dined With anoth
er gentleman in a. private room up
stairs, didn't you 7'
'Who - was that other man?'
'He is a young man who is a clerk
in a livery stable in Sullivan street.'
'What aro his looks ?'
'He is tall and light haiited.'
'Do you know his name ?'
'His name is Etigat.'
I hurried up to Sullivan street,
went into the first livery stable I came
to, inquired for 'tire proprietor, and
asked him if he had a young "man in
his stable of the name of Edgar.
He said he had. -
‘Dols he keep yotr books r
'lreS--he takes orders for me.'
'Let the see some of his hand-wri
ting, ifyou please.'
He stepped back into the.offlee and
took from a desk a little order-book.
I opened it; there were some m'ders,
hastily written, no doubt, but in a
hand almost like beautiful copper-
plate. 4
'This was my man—l felt nearly
certain of it. I asked where he liv
ed, and was told with his mother, a
widow woman, at such a number in
Hudson - street. I started for the
place. " - Itmas now nine o'cleck. Ar
riving at the house, I rang the bell.
It was - answered by a servant girl.
'Does Mr. Edgar live here,' I .in
quired.
'l c es sir.'
'he.au.homer,
'No ' sir.'
'When will he come home ?'
don't know.'
'Does he sleep here ?'
'Sometimes he does, and sometimes
he doesn't.'
'Where is he likely to be found ? I
should like to see him.'
She said she realty did not know,
unless perhaps it might be at a bit-
Hard saloon not far off.
I went there. A noisy crowd was
around the room, and I closely scru
tinized every face. No tall, light
haired Young. man was there. I ask
ed the barkeeper if Mr. Edgar had
been there that evening. He said no;
he had not seen anything- of him for
two or three days. I asked him if
there was any other place he knew
of that Edgar frequented, and was
told he went a good deal to a bowl
ing alley in West Broadway, near
Duane street. Not much yet, I
thought, as I hurried on West Broad•
way. Descending a few steps into a
sort of vestibule or office to the bowl
ing saloon.

With the utmost rapidity; but, on
reaching the theatre, found, to my
disgust, what I had already feared,
that the play was over, and the thea-.

A tall young man, with -light hair

tain he had gone home with the
girl. Where she lived I did not
know; but 1 thought it probable the
actor could tell me. So we started
on to Walker street. There are—or
were at the time I speak of—several
boarding houses in Walker street.—
We passed one or two three story
houses with marble - steps.
'Shall I ask along here ? said
Clark.
'No,' I answered ; 'poor actors don't
hoard there—we must look for him
further on.'
We kept on ; and after ttlittlo while
we found one that seemed to. me to
betsthe house we were looking for. I,
rang the bell and inquired for Mr.
Levison. He was gone to bed.. It
was now twelve o'clock. I desired
the mans that opened the door to tell
him that.somebody was ,below to see
him immediately. Ho soon returned,

thought.it necessary to frighten
him a little ; sot son t up word that I
was an officer of police, and he must
come down instantly, or 1 should go
up.and fetch him. In a few n - io.
ments the actor made his appearance,
terribly frightened. Before I could
say anything, he began to pour out
such-a flood of questions and assever
htions that I could not get a word

His huddled words and apprehen-

was no concern of mine then. I seiz

him to be quiet.

"Indeed!"
"Yes; I've got a eborlatell key

MOSS PURPOSES,
'Since its location upon Chestnut
street, the central office of the Muni•
cipal Telegraph - has grown to be a
place of some note and importance.—
Many persons,,are,, attracted thither
in the regular course of business, and
.their constant arrival and departure
tends to make it the scene of consid
erable bustle and animation. For ob
vious reasons the locality is the gen
eral resortiof the reporters connected
with the public press of the city. In
fact, it is their headqiiarters. It is
also much frequented by persons de
siring to witness the: operations of
the instruments, many of whom are
stran g ers in town, and are taken
there by friends anxious to .do the
agreeable by assisting to gratify a
very laudable curiosity. Once at the
office, every facility is afforded for
the attainment of the.objects of such
visits,, especially if the parties visiting
are strangers. The operators, we
are glad to say, arc proverbially
obliging, and do their utmost to ex
plain accurately the workings of the
system. Should the Superintendent
of the line or his Assistant happen to
be present on such occasions, one or
the other of them immediately take
the visitors in hand and assume the
task of explanation. We • mention
this matter thus particularly, in or
der to illustrate in detail the follow
ing incident which occurred at the
office a few evenings since, and which
for the time being created considera
ble excitement•.
entleman, accompanied by a
friend—a small man with a huge
moustache, and wearing a slouch hat
well over his eyes—called at the of
fice on the evening in question,.and
inquired of one of the operators "if
he would oblige himself and friend so
'far as to show them the operations
of the telegraph." The reply was
'certainly, gentlemen ; please step
inside.'
It so happened that, the Assistant
Superintendent was present at the
time, busily engaged over his news
paper: Upon' the pattance of the v is:.
itors, however, he immediately laid
aside the paper and rose to greet them
and do the honors of the occasion.—
After a few words had been inter
changed, the gentleman who had
hitherto done all the talking - Willed
to his friend and introduced him as
Mr. Evans, of Bourbon county, Ken•
tucky. Mr. Evans at once advanced
and exchanged . salutations. There
was nothing peculiar in the appear
ance or bearing of this gentleman,
save in his quick, restless movements,
which only denoted an active ner
vous temperament. His speech was
mild and gentlemanly, though thick
ly interlarded with the 'TEARS' and
i wIIARB' so characteristic of a true
born Southerner.
The Assistant Superintendent en
tered upon hia task with the greatest
zest, apparently, and was soon deep
in the mysteries of the 'menus °PEA
ANDI2
From the frequent, exclamations of
delight, to which the little man gave
utterance, it was safe to judge the ex
planation in progress was not thrown
away upon an inattentive auditor.
At length the batteries and instru
ments had all been gone over, and it
only remair.ed to show the speaking
tube communicating with the bell
ringer in the State House steeple,
and. point oilt its peculiarities.—
Turning to the tube, our friend the
Assistant plumed himself for a final
flight,. 'This, gentleman' said he, 'is
the speaking tube, by which orders
for the ringing of the State louse
bell, in case of fire, are communica
tes to the watetiman always on duty
in the steeple.'
'ltow 'do you attract his attention ?'
said the little Kentuckian, interrupt
`By placing the Maid) against the
mouthplace - and blowing in it, which
causes a road whistling noise at the
other end of the tube,' was the reply.
'ln the same manner,' continued the
Assistant, 'light or fire before the of
ficers have time to spring an alarm
station. We then place the ear a
gainst the mouthpiece and listen to
the communication in regard to the
lacality of the fire. In the same
manner, we tell him how to ring when
an 'alarm is received in the ordinary
way.
At this moment a perfect blast was
blown froM:the pipe.
By Jove, gentleman,' exclaimed
the Assistant delightedly•'you are
just in the nick of time; there goes
an alarm;' and running to the tube,
he sung out; , What do you want?'
'Big light northeast ; appears to be
in the neighborhood of the New York
depot; aak Seventh ward about it,'
was the answer.
He was about to comply with this
request, when the voice again called
out, 'Hold on, don't call that station
yet; the fire - appears to be feather
north'
'Shall I. call the Nineteenth ward,
then ?'
'N j o, don't call anybody yet; wait
awhile.'

a set of loots, and you are another. Do
you think I'm crazy r (The latter part
in a regular sereech.)
'Yes, I do,' candidly replied the ma.tt
below.
The two strangers during the whole of
this scene were cool and collected, though
apparently vere much interested in what
was transpiring.• The Assistant, on the
contrary, looked rather the worse for the
eucounter ; to us; a popular expression,
he was 'dead beat' For a few moments
he stood scratching his bead in Utter per
plexity and bewilderment, when suddenly
recovering himself he turned towards the
strangers and began to apologize for the
rather unfortunate ending of the affair.
In the midst of this apology he was inter
rupted by the violent entrance of the bell
ringer, who had come from the steeply
down to the office in exactly three quar
ters of a minute.
'What is all this do* here,' exclaimed
the latter, as soon as he entered the door.
yon don't know by this time, it
is not worth while for Me to tell you,'
said the party addressed, rather fair
ly.
'What do you mean by saying that
I told you thei.e was a fire up town,
when 1 didn't do nothing of the kind,'
fairly hissed the bell ringer.
'Yes, you did ; you know you did,
Teddy, for I stood by and heard you,'
said a voice very deprecatingly,right
behind him.
Teddy wheeled suddenly around td
face the owner. of.that voice, with his
arm in position to strike straight
from the shoulder the moment he was
discovered. All the others present
rushed forward to obtain a Vie* of
the daring individual ; but no one was
to be found. Astonishment Was now
pictured in every countenance, and
from looking for the owner of the
voice they fell to looking at each o
ther; an idea of a decided sell at the
same time begining to be universally
prevalent.
This examination resulted much
more successfully, for the would-be
Mr. Evans, of Bourbon county, Ken
tucky, minus the false moustache and
slouch hat, was found to be none other
than our old friend Signor Blitz, the
magician and ventriloquist.
'Bully for Blitz,' was the eXclama;
tion of some one, as soon as the dis•
covery was made. This expression
was received with shouts of uproari
ous laughter, in which none joined
more heartily than the two gents who
had . been so egregiously sold. The
last we saw of them they were in
close consultation with the Signor.

pose ho made the matter all right.
VIOE lit WASHINGTON,
Vice and wickedness of all kinds
are fearfully on the increase r in Wash
isngton. It has been asserted that
there are full fifteen thousand prosti
tutes in and about the city. This the
Star has attempted to disprove, and
by going into an exact count; shows
that there are only seven thonsand.
In\ addition to this number the STAtt.
says, "There are a number of females
sailing under false colors, and who
until they are found out, frequently
manage to quarter themselves at re
spectable boarding houses. It would
be difficult to estimate the number of
these." Swartnes of these brazen
faced courtesans meet the eye at eve
ry turn. Dressed in purple and scar
let, riding in the finest carriages,
promenadlng with men who no doubt
at home pretend and are taken to be
gentlemen. There are many among
them, though, who at first glance
would seem beautiful, modest and ac- -
complished ladies; but a nearer view
shows that the color on the cheek ie
not the ruddy glow of health ; bat the
rough that hides the last night's de
bauch; and the obscene jest and vul
gar laugh, as they pass, shows that
all feminine delicacy has long since
fled. The brothels where these wo
men belong are, nightly filled with
soldiers - and citifens, and scarcely a

magnificent distances.' The City
Councils have before them a resolu
