WHAT WAS STOLEN 1
ABOUT flvo yearn ago I received Infor
mnUon that a larceny of great magni
tude) luul beon committed in the residence
of Mrs. Hilllieigh, on Iiolvat street. My
flint inquiry was, "How was tlio larceny
committed?" and next, "What was stol
en?" Tlio last was answered by Mrs. Hilllieigh,
who furnished a list of the missing articles,
among which was a miniature breastpin of
peculiar make. It was in the shnpo of a
hand holding a Htnall gold fan open, nnd
when a concealed spring was touched tlio
fan closed and revealed a miniature of a
gentleman. This nnd a largo number of
valuable diamonds, wcro among the articles
taken.
From one of tlio servants I learned that
about seven o'clock in the morning a mid
dle-aged woman, with a masculine cast of
features, had called with a letter for Mrs.
Hilllieigh, saying that it was of the greatest
importance, and must bo dolivered by her
self to the lady, and that in private. This
woman was shown the way to, and was per
mitted to enter tho room whero Mrs. Hill
lieigh was sleeping. In a liltlo while, sho
came down stairs, and without saying a
word to either of the two servants who
were busy in the main hall, passed hurried
ly out of the front door into the street.
Mrs. Hilllieigh did not come from her
room at the usual hour that morning, and
one of the scrvantB fearing that sho was
sick, went to her bedside, found her in a
profound slumber, and the samo timo dis
covered a small vial which had contained
ether on the bed. A physican was sent
for, who, by the uso of proper remedies,
brought tho lady to, and after that it was
discovered that tho jewelry had been stolen.
When I heard this the truth of tho mat
ter (lashed through my mind in an instant.
A man disguised as a woman had entered
the house under pretext of handing Mrs.
Hilllieigh a letter, had placed her under tho
influence of ether and then robbed tho jewel
casket, which was found with the lid forced
off. .
That it had been done by somo one well
acquainted with iho lady and her modo of
living I had no doubt in my own mind, and
when I suggested to tho lady that it might
be some friend of her family, she laughed
at the idea, for, according to her statement,
her friends were all wealthy and necessity
would not prompt them to commit such an
act '
Again I questioned the servant wh had
admitted tho visitor, but the only descrip
tion I could obtain from hor was that tho
woman, as rather tall, was dressed in a
maroon-colored dress, with overskirt of the
samo color and material, and further that
she wore short curly hair, ; and that there
was a small scratch, apparently a fresh one,
on the right cheek, , , , ,
' It was not long boforo I chanced to get
" on a track of tho jowelry," as wo call ob
taining a view, and in a email jewelry store
kept by a Polish Jew, who was known to
be a "fence" for receiving stolen goods,
we found some of the Btoleu jewelry a
highly demoralized state, for tho valuable
diamonds had been removed from the set
tings. , '
Said Sanog, the jeweler, to mo, in answer
to a question, " Bo help mo rocin gottness,
I didn't was know dot dings vas steal goods;
If I know dot, I never bnysdem, butl dells
you dot was a mans mit gurly hair, und
ein scratch on dot right side von de face,
vot sells dose dings." .
This corresponded in a measure with the
description of the woman by the servant
girl, and now I was satisfied beyond a'doubt
that my conjecture about the thief being in
disguiso waB correct. . . )
' I left my Polish friend and reached Emos
nas street just as I saw a man with a curly
head of hair and a slight scratch on his
right cheek. ;
Ho looked at me for a moment, and sud
denly threw up his right hand to his face
in such a manner as to hide the scratch
from view. I then , advanced toward him,
when he suddenly turned and crossed to
the other side of the street "That's my
man," 1 said to myself, and in a few mo
ments overtook him and bad him in the
detective's office. "
' The man was about thirty-seven years of
age, spoke several languages fluently, and
was ' evideatly well educated. .When I
charged him with the crime the color for
sook his face, and for a moment he was
speechless; but when he recovered the color
returned to bis cheeks. lie indignantly,
yet in a quiet and gentlemanly manner,
denied the accusation. He claimed to be
almost a stranger in "the city, having only
arrived tho day before by steamer, and
offered to exhibit letters as. recommenda
tion, but I declined to see them at that
time.
"That Is the old respectability dodge," I
remarked to a brother offices' who was pres
ent; and then, turning to my frlendj said:
" You run a flno chance of being just where
the dogs won't bite you for sometime," for
I felt sure that I had the right man.
Placing him In one of the cells below,
I started for Mrs. llillheigVs residence to
get the servant to come to the prison to see
if she could recognize In the prisoner the
person who bad visited the house in female
attire; but I bad been gone but a short
time, when toy attention was attracted to
a notorious woman of the town seated at
tho window of a houso, and noticed that a
laco collar which she wore around her
neck was held together by a breastpin,
which corresponded with tho description
furnished of the one stolen.
Entering tho houso I made myself known,
and nsked permission to examine the pin
which tho woman said had been given her
as a present by a friend. Tho jewel was
passed into my hand, and I was looking for
the secret spring, when tho door of tho
room in which we were was unceremonious
ly opened by n man who, the moment ho
saw mo, attempted to retreat, but I stop
ped him the instant I caught sight of his
features, for he also had curled hair and a
slight scratc h on his right cheek. AVhilo
talking to him and examining tho jewel I
touched the spring which I had boon look
ing for, and tho lit tlo gold fan closing ex
posed to view a pot trait of thu husband of
Mrs. Hilllieigh,
A brief inquiry followed, when I learned
enough to satisfy mo this timo beyond tho
question of a doubt, that I had tho right
party, and thercforo took him into etistotly,
and also tho woman. Ho mndo a full con
fession of tho larceny, and Implicated tho
woman, saying that she, as wo term it,
"put up the job" and ho executed it.
My next step was to take the prisoner,
who gavo tho namo of Charles Wellward,
and confront him with Mrs. Hilllieigh and
tho servant. Tho moment tho lady saw
him sho extended her hand in a cordial
manner, saying: " Why, my dear nephew,
how do you do? when did you get back?"
Ho niado no reply but hung his head as all
guilty ones do when detected, and I in
formed tho lady that he was tho thief. She
was loth to believo it at first, but his own
admission convicted her of tho truth of
what I had said. Tlio matter was hushed
up, and Mrs. Hilllieigh was not anxious for
newspaper notoriety, and with means which
she furnished her nephew ho left the State.
Shortly after making tho arrest I return
cd to tho prison and caused tho release of
tho unfortunate man who had fallen under
my suspicious eye. Everything was fully
explained to him, after which I ascertained
that be was the person ho represented him
self to be, and among his letters of recom
mendation was ono from a particular friend
of mine. Ho said ho had come here in tho
hope of flnding employment, but had not
offered his services. I apologized for the
indignity I bad heaped upon him in placing
him undor arrest, and told hiin I would do
what I could to make reparation. Through
my influence I obtained for him a situation
as book-keeper in Richbox's bank, which
place bo (ills to the present day. ..
' ' Saved by a Horse.
Some years since a party of surveyors
had just finished their day's work in the
northwestern part of Illinois, whon a vio
lent snowstorm came on. They started for
their camp,' which was in a grove of about
eighty acres in a large prairie, nearly twen
ty miles from any other timbor. ,
The wind was blowing very hard, and
the snow drifting so as nearly to blind
them. j
When they thought they had nearly
reached their camp, they all ut onco came
upon tracks in the snow. These they look
ed at with care, and found, to their dismay,
that they were their own trucks.
It was now plain that they wero lost on
the great prairio, and that if they had to
pass the night there, in tho cold aud snow,
the chance wits that not one of them would
be alive in the morning.
While they wero shivering with fear and
the cold, the chief man of tho party caught
sight of one of tho horses a grey pony
known as "Old Jack."
Thou the chief said, "If any ono can
show us our way to camp out of this blind
ing snow, Old Jack can do it. I will take
oil' liis bridle and let him loose, and wo can
follow him. 1 think he wili show us our
way back to camp." . . 1 : i
The horse, as soon as be found himself
free, threw bis head and tail into the air,
as if proud of the trust that had been put
upon him. Then he snuffed the breeze and
gave a loud snort, which seemed to say :
"Come on, boys I Follow me ; I'll lead you
out of this scrape." He then turned in a
new direction and trotted along, but not
so fast that the men could not follow him.
They had not gone more than a mile when
they saw the cheerful blaze of their camp
fires, and they gave a loud huzza at the
sight, and for Old Jack. . .
A Wliio Bath. -
i An American traveler desiring wliilo in
Paris to take a bath, his physician recom
mended a wine bath. In tho employ of the
establishment was a colored man whom he
had known in America, and of bim he in
quired how they could afford to give a wine
bath for seventy-five cents.
"Why, niassa," said the negro, "that
wine has been in the bath room one week,
and you are the thirty-eighth person that
has bathed in it."
" Well, I supposo they throw it away
when they are done with it."
" Oh no, massa; they send it down stairs
for the poor people, who bathe in it for
twenty-five cents."
"And then what do they do with it?"
" Bottle t up aud send it to America,
where they sell It for French wine." '

A good old hunter friend, residing in ono
of our romantic valleys in Perry county a
few days ago, followed a deer which had
been chased by ono of tho dogs from a
neighboring wood. This persevering rela
tive of Undo Nimrod, pursued tho chaso
for several miles when a neighboring friend
becoming attracted by tho noiso of tho
dogs nnd tho sight of the deer, 'mounted his
horse nnd pursued the game and finally suc
ceeded in overtaking and capturing it, just
in sight of tho residence of n Justice of
tho Peace. Troublo seemed to staro the
parties In tho face, the man who first pur
sued tho gamo claimed a share, tho man
who captured it was unwilling to leave
without somo remunerative for his trouble,
nnd there was tho good ' Squire' ready to
prosecute tho parties for killing tho gamo
out of season, unless ho received pait of the
prey. A compromise was at onco arranged.
Tho man who succeeded in killingthcgamo
took tho skin, tho man who first pursued
it tho ono half of tho animal, and tho Jus
tice of tho Pcnco, the other half.
Thero is a very important mathematical
question connected with this circumstance,
because when they killed tho animal, they
took two from ono and three remained.

He did not have to wait long for an oppor

Singular Effects of a Bream.
' A remarkable Instance of the effect of
fright In a dream occurred in an interior
town of Wisconsin recently. ' A young man
a school-teacher just married, ' spent ' an
evening in reading to his wife incidents of
Indian life and warfare in the Western
country. Going to bed with his tnlnd filled
with the subject, he dreamed of the scenes
he had been reading of, during which he bad
lost his scalp at tho hands of a redskin,
receiviug thereby a terrible fright. On
being a wakened by the stir in the bouse in
the morning, he found himself unable to
peak, and could only communicate with
the others by writing thus relating his
dream. At last accounts be had not re

Addison's receipt for ft Happy Life.
Irresolution on tho schemes of life which
offer themselves to our choice, and incon
stancy in pursuing them, arc tho greatest
and universal cause of all our disquiet aud
uiihappinesR. When ambition pulls one
way, interest another, inclination a third,
nnd perhaps reason contrary to all, a man
is likely to pass his time but ill who has so
many different parties to please. When
tho mind hovers among such a variety of
allurements, one had better settle on a way
of life that is not tho very best we might
havo chosen, then grow old without deter
mining our choice, and go out of the world,
as tlio greatest part of mankind do, beforo
wo have resolved how to live in it. Thero
is but ono method of setting ourselves at
rest in this particular, and this is by ad
hering steadfastly to one great end as tho
chief and ultimate aim of till our pursuits.
If we are firmly resolved to live up to tho
dictates of reason, without any regard to
wealth, or tho like considerations, any more
than as they fall in with our principle de
sign, wo may go through life with steadi
ness and pleasure; but if we act by several
broken views, and will not only be virtuous,
but wealthy, popular, and every thing that
has a value set upon it by tho world, we
shall live and die in misery and repentance.

If, my friend, in tho pressure and worry,

Ancient Music.
. The Egyptian flute was only a cow's
horn with three or four holes in it, and
their harp or lyre had only threo strings ;
the Grecian lyre had only seven strings, and
was vory small, being . held in one hand ;
tho Jewish trumpets that made the walls
of Jericho fall were only ram's horns ; they
had no other instrumental music but by
percussion, of which the greatest boost
modo was the psaltery, a small triangular
harp or lyre with wiro strings, and struck
with an iron needle or stick , their sackbut
was something like a bagpipe; the timbrel
was a tambourine ; and tho dulcimer was
a horizontal harp, with, wire Jstrings, and
struck with a stick like the psaltery. They
had no written musio ; had scarcely a
vowel in their language ; and yet (accord
ing to Joscphus) had two hundred thous
and musicians playing at tho dedication of
the templo of Solomon 1
Aliiiit. ;
If a youth is wooingly disposed toward
any damsel, as ho values his happiness, let
him call on that lady when she least ex
pects him, and take note of the appearance
of all that is under her control. Observe
if the shoes Ut neatly, and the hair well
dressed. And we would forgive a man for
breaking off an engagement if he discover
ed a greasy novel hid away uuder tho cush
ion of a sofa, or a bole in the garniture of
the prettiest foot in the world. Slovenliness
in a woman will ever be avoided by a well
regulated mind. A woman cannot always
be what is called "dressed," but she may
be always neat. "And as certainly as a
virtuous woman is a crown of glory to her
husband, so surely is a slovenly one a crown
of thorns. ''
tW I observe that God hath chosen the
vine, a plaut that creeps upon the helpless
wall; of all boasts, the soft and patient
lamb; of all birds, the mild and guileless
dove. Christ is the rose of the field aud
the lilly of the valley. When God appear
ed to Moses it was not in the lofty cedar,
nor the sturdy oak, nor the spreading palm,
but in a bush a bumble slender, abject
bush. As if He would by these selections
chock the conceited arrogance of man.
Feltham.
tW One of the most mournful and piti
ful sights to see in this world is one of
those preachers who has grown wiser than
the Bible, so that he disowns its hulp, and
thinks, out of tho small well of his own
understanding, to supply from Sabbath to
Sabbath the spiritual thirst of a congrega
tion of waiting soul.
ry One who studies the Bible much,
with a prayerful, humble mind, will not
be apt to go wrong in matters generally.
It is not what the Church " will let you
do," but what Jesus Christ sanctions, that
must be your guide. Sunday-school teach
ers and others should remember this advloe.
