Commedore A. 0. llebbs, superintendent
of the Unlmi Metalllc Cartridge company,
though Hi his 78tti year, Is one of the most
expert hick pickers in the world, aud he
consented recently te give some of Ms ex
perience In n lecture before the Hrldirw
bert Hcleiitltlc society. ;Commedoro Hebbs
was born In Husten In 1812, and when 10
years old did chores en a farm. In Tour
years he had seen oneujrh of farming and
get a place In a dry goods Ktore. Then he
tried weed carving, carriage painting, and
J lass cutting.'aud finally went te soiling
ecks and safes. He became acquainted
with Day A Newell, the bank lock makers,
and took entire charge of the sale of their
locks. In ei der te succeed It was necessary
te prove that nil otlier Iesks were net secure,
and he mule a set of line tools with which
he could demonstrate that the vaults and
safes of bankers could be easlly opened.
He inade his II rat call en a bank at rjtam
ford, in this state. In 1817. and round en
the doers of the vault a padlock which was
ojnsldered p?rfe;tly secure. This padlock
held an Iren strap ever the keyhole of un
Andrews bank lock which had cost $150,
aud In addition there was a wnrded lock,
making three lock, any nne of which was
supposed te be sufficiently safe. Mr. llebbs
held a long con vcrwillen with the directors,
Who finally consented te allow him te at
tempt te enter the vault, and promUed te
buy ene or his new locks if he succeoded
v Itheut doing damage te their property.
With his Instruments he opened the out
side deer and picked the three locks of the
vault in twenty-thrce minutes.
In 1848, wblle putting a lock en at the
bank of Lancaster7 i'a Mr. llebbs' at
tention wus called te the odvertisment of a
Mr. Woedbridgc.of Perth Ambey. elfering
vow te any ene who weuiu open nis ieck,
thou en ene of Herring's safes In the Mer
chants' Kxcliaugu reading room iu New
Yerk. He started for New Yerk, found
Mr. Woodbridge, and accepted the offer.
The reward was te any ene who would
open the lock in thirty days by any instru
ment of their own, or he would let them
have the use of the key for 81 per hour,
first having the movable bit taken out and
mixed. Thore being many bits te the key,
only ene of about 470,000,000 changes would
open the lock. A check for ?500 was
placed In the safe, and Mr. llebbs arranged
with the janitor te remain at night while
he worked. Mr. Woedbridgo had se con
structed the Ieck that if any attempt was
made te 'withdraw the belt before the
tumblers wero all in proper position any
key or instrument which might be In the
lock would be fastened thore aud made
immovable Mr. llebbs began his work
ntw o'clock In the evening, and at 11 o'clock
had all the tumblers iu position and ready
te be withdrawn. He then went te his
hotel, and early In the morning sent word
te Mr. Woedbridgo te be Btire and coine te"
the Kxctiange at 10 o'clock, as something
was the mutter with the lock. Mr. Wood Weod Woed
bridgo thought, of ceu r se, that Ids trap
had caught the picking instrument. lie
sent for the directors and the elllcials te
accompany him. Wlien the men arrived
Mr. llebbs sat by the safeaud Woedbridgo
acce&tcd him with:
" Holle, llebbs, what is the matter?"
"Something is the matter with the lock. "
"What is it?"
"Why it won't keep the deer shut,"
and Hebbs threw back the beltnnd opened
the safe The cheek was handed evor, aud
Woedbridgo had te previde a big supper,
which was an oxpcuslve atfalr iu tlioe
days.
Mr. Hebbs had eften heard of a wonder
ful lock In the window of the celebrated
lockmaker, Uramah of Londen, and the
oll'er of 200 guineas te any ene who hlienkl
epen it without the key. He loll in April,
lbel, en the steamship Washington for
Southampton, with his box of locks te nx
hibit, and his chest of tools te test the Eu
ropean locks. At the Crystal Palace, the
Duke of Wellington was much interested
in the exhibition of leeks by Mr. Hebbs,
and finally the queen, with Prluce Albert
and the Prince of Wales, came te see the
great Amerlcan locks.
Mr. llebbs spent much time in looking
at all the Kramah locks In the oxhlbitien,
and also stepped nt the lockmaker's stere
window and llgurcd out hew he would
open It when the proper time came. A Mr.
Chubb 'challenged tlie American te open
nne of his locks, and the oll'er was accepted
and the feat performed in thirty-iive
minutes.
Having disposed of the Chubb lock, Mr.
Hebb went into the shop where the
Hramah lock was en oxhlbitien and asked
the attendant If that was a real lock. The
man asked the strauger if he was a lock
smith, te which a ncgatlve reply was given.
Placing the lock iu Mr. llebbs' hands, the
attendant turned te wait en a customer.
Mr. Hebbs at once began te feel with his
penknife, the points et the interior of the
lock, wlien the shopkeeper became annoyed
and took the lock. One of the proprietors
was called, and attention was called te the
challenge, which read: "The aitlst that
will produceau instrument that will pick
this lock shall receive 200 guineas reward
the instant it Is produced." Mr. Hebbs
then said that it was gouerally iiudoruteod
that the eiler was te any ene who would
pick the lock witheutlnfuringit, regardless
of hew it was done, mm that if they would
net submit it te a test they lnnst take it
out of the window or he would make It
known teJIic public as a fraud. Arrange
ments were then tnnde for a trial aud arbi
traters wero cliosen. On July 21 Mr. llebbs
began his opeialieu, and en Auguxt 2.1 he
exhibited the lock, opened, befere the
Judges. The number of days he was actu
ally at work was sixteen. The key was
tried, and the lock was locked and un
locked as befere, showing that Mr. Hebbs
had doue his work without injuring the
mechaulsm, aud the 200 guineas was paid
ever.
Mr. Hebbs had been In Londen but a
short time when he received a lctter from
William Ilrewn of Li vorpeol, the head of
the banking house of Ilrewn, Shipley ,fc
Ce., requesting him le call at the St. James
hotel. There Mr. llebbs found that Mr.
Ilrewn was the inventor of the lock then
iu use en the bank of the company. This
lock, he thought, was very secure, aud he
expl.ilncd that it had many thousand com
binations and only ene way te open It.
Mr. Hebbs said he thought it could be
easily openeil, whereupon Mr. Brown
again pointed out the impossibility et pick
ing it. Mr. Hebbs said he would leek at
the lock seme time, l'ive months later Mr.
llebbs rccvlv ed u ceny of the proceedings
of the ArchuKilegicaf society of Liverpool,
which; contained a paper en locks, by
William lirewii. M. P., iu which the sauie
lock was dctcilbcd, and it wound up as
fellows :
"During the time of the exhibition in
Londen I saw Mr. Hebbs, and dcscilbed
this lock te him. At llrst he hccined te
think he could open it, but alter a mero
thorough evplanatinu was inade te him,
se that he mero fully underoteod the lock,
I again ftsked him, aud his uiiaWPr was se
evaslve that I concluded he could net open
it, aud I am having another inade like It te
t)ut en a new safe new being inade for our
lank. "
Mr. Hebbs went te Liverpool and was
met cordially by Ilrewn. He slid the new
safe was just coming In, but the old lock
would de as well, if Mr. Hebbs would
llke te test it, as it was an exact duplicate
of the ene making for the new safe. Call
ing in his cashier, Drewn directed him te
lock the safe. Mr. llebbs tlicu began te
explain what he should de If he should at
tempt te pick the lock. There was no key,
but a T wrench was put in a hnle te threw
the bells when the pointers en the dial were
in their proper position. Mr. Hebbs said :
" Yeu de net think anything of that
wrench, de you?"
"Xe," he said, "we put that en lop of
the safe ut night."
Mr. Hebbs then said; If I wanted te
open the sale 1 should take the wrench and
put It in se that I could feel Iho belts while
turning the pointers en the outer dial. "
Just then the cashier called Mr. Ilrewn
away. He asked te be excused, uud
tiirned te go away, but befere he teiched
the deer the belts went back and the safe
deer came open. Mr. Hebbs called te Mr.
Ilrewn saying;
" Don't leave me hore with this safe opeuV
Wheu asked hew it was opened the
great lock expert said: " I don't knew. I
was turning the pointers and Itcamoepcu j
perhaps It was net properly locked. "
The eashlerjockedjt uga'in, aud te show
hew easlly It could be opened Mr. Hebbs
turned his back te the deer, aud without
looking at the lock opened It in less than
ten minutes.
Mr. Hebbs was awarded the Telferd

Hew a Jade Ascertained the Truth la
Dispute Better Hlra.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Londen Paily Ttltgrapk sends the follow
ing Interesting Incident t "That tbe race of
Judicial Solomons Is net quite extinct In
the nineteenth century, even In Russia, la
evldcnt from the following ingenleua
ubvice imagined aj ene OI mem te an
cover en which side truth and Justice lay
la a rather difficult rase that came before
him last week. In the university town or
Dernat a prosaic, plodding burgher com
plained te the 'Judge of the peace' 'that li
had been defrauded by the defendant or 10
rubles (2).' 'I bought a cow from him
he Is a peasant, your honor.' he explained,
'and I ilrst paid for the animal, and then
asked him te drive it from the market
place Inte my yard, this he agreed te de.
Well, when no had tbe cow close by my
heuse he refused te budge a step futher un
less I paid him SO ruble, saying that he
had received nothing from me. This was
an inf , I mean a bare-faced, lie, because
I paid him the nioney a few minutes be be be
eoeo.' "Where are your witnesses?' asked
the judge. Witnesses? I have net a single
witness. What are the witnesses for?
Doesn't he knew right well, the , that I
paid him, the .' 'Yeu must net call
film names, Interposed the judge. 'Did
he pay you the money ?' asks the Judge of
the defendant. 'I never saw the color of
it, your honor. I didn't. Why lr I had,
de you think' 'That will de,' exclaimed
the judge: 'the plaintiff claim, unsup
ported by witnesses or evidence or any
kind, Is null and void. He soems an honest
fellow, though, and has evidently lest his
20 rubles. Let's make up a little subscrip
tion for him. I head tbe list with live
rubles. Won't you give something, tee?"
Inquires the Judge of the defendant, who
had wen the suit. 'That I will,' eagerly
exclaimed the triumphant suitor, 'With a
whele heart. Will three rubles de? Here's
the note.' "
"The Judge took the three-mile note
daintily, examined It critically, looked
suspiciously at the donator, and said:
'Yeu dare te utter false meney In an im
perial court of Justlcet Ilave you any
mero notes of this description? This Is a
very serious matter, indeed. Wbore did
you get this forged meney?' The peasant
turned red and white and yellow, gave a
sorles of explanations that contradicted
each otlier, muttered and mumbled and
iloiinderod about from lie te lie, till at last
In dlspair he cried out. 'If you want te
knew the whole truth, here it is: Tills
here' forged note belongs te the plaintiff.
He did pay me 20 rubles for the cow, the
rascal, but he paid me in ferged notes, and
that's nne of thorn.' It comes te what I
said, that be didn't pay me at all, and It's
he that must go te Slberla for uttering
ferged notes, net I. I am as innocent as
the babe unborn,'
"The judge condemned then and there
that innecent peasant te refund the 20
rubles, for the notes were really as geed
as the best that circulate In the empire of
the czars. "
HOW MEISSUXIEIt PAINTS.
At Werk Mounted en a Stuffed Herse en
Tep of a Tower.
Frem the Philadelphia Press.
A correspondent writing of Melssenier
ten or twolve years age gave the following
anocdeto of the painter while at work en
the 1814, which was sold lately In Paris for
$170,000.
" One cannot imaglne hew much pains
his 1814 cost him. In a biting cold winter
day the writer had geno te Pelssy togetber
with the celebrated art critic, Paul llurty.
It was snowing, and thore was a feet of
snow en the ground. We found Mols Mels Mols
seuler en the turret of his chalet, scated in
the war costume of Napeleon I, en a stuffed
gi ay herse, and painting the figure of the
emperer as It was rendered uy a large
mirror that steed at some distance from
him. He had been thore three hours, un
mindful of the cold, and was porfeetly
happy, as he said, because he had found
the sinister tones of a Itusslan landscape.
Paul llurty ventured te remark that as lie
had already finished painting the landscape
he might withdraw and continue his work
in the studio, without exposing himself te
the same disaster that overlook the 'Great
Army.' 'Hew could I obtain In the studio,'
Melssenier qulte excitedly rojelned, "the
light toue and the true cll'ect of Napoloen's
gray coat In harmonious contrast with the
sembre grays of the sky and the snowy
carpet en the ground, and the Just value of
the flesh tones of the emperor's ceunte
nance darkened bv the dull atmosphero
efa winter sky?' It was thore, en the top
of that turret, that he completed what Is
nnrlians Ills inasterniece.
" About a month later the writer found
Moissenlor in ills stndle scraping the same
llguroef Xupoleou, te paint which he had
endured se many hours efa freezing torn tern
peraturc. 'What en earth are you doing
new?' I asked, almost bowildered. 'An
old servunt of the Emperer has been hore,'
Melssenier roplled, 'who was with him In
Itussta. He liad tears in his oyes, and
spent a geed hour In silent contemplation
hofero my nicture. After I had ceaxed him
for a long' while te tell me whether he
found anything inexact In the canvas, the
geed old man Anally said: 'During the
campaign of Russia his majesty were the
uniform of the Chasseurs, net that of thn
Grenadiers. Moreover, Ills niajesty nover
consented te liave his opaulette uufastoned
ler his tunic. That will explain te you
why the armholes of his overcoat were se
large.' I had painted Napeleon in the uni
form of the Grenadiers, and with the
epaulettes eutside of his coat. Hew could
I holpdelngwhatlainiiowdoing?' Thus,
love of truth overbalanced all ether con
siderations, and Moissenlor began study
ing anew the uniform of the Chasseurs, the
ellcct produced by the opaulettes under
the overcoat, and se en, until he obtained
the same perfection he had reached iu the
accessories of his provleus portrait. This
conscientiousness, perseverance, and leve
of the truth explain the artistic value of
Moissenior's werkH. "
Melssenier is said te have contracted a
sovcre complaint, while at work en his
plcture, in making his studies from herses
which were led te and fro for hours through
depths of snow and mud. His reward
was the drawing of a walking group with
mero truth of action and movement than
can perhaps be found In any ethor plcture
ever painted, and almost rivaling the
realism of instantaneous photography.
