t a late hour one night lust week, a
Ionian, well known in the business and
J circles of this city, and who occupies
r,0me residence on one of the fa.sh-
i,e thoroughfares, was awakened from
t.UIKl slumber by an unusual noise in
- sleeping apartment, and, after listen-

M-iilv moving about in the room. The

'io most desperate attempts to loosen the
iaiid which grasped his throat like an iron
vice, but his antagonist, although ou the
:;idy side of fifty, was a man of great mus
Jar power, and the fellow's efforts to cs
5'ic were fruitless. Kneeling upon the
pirate form of the panting burglar, the
,.r in the struggle called to his wife to
;dit the gas, a command which the lady,
ubo was awakened by the scuffle, and who
was nearly beside herself with fear, was
t slow to execute.

iwia with light, the gentleman released

and then with a wild cry, in which horror,
shame and remorse were all expressed, the
younger sank at the feet of the elder.
' -Father !"'
'Charlie."
The recognition was mutual ; the excla
mations rang out simultaneously. It was
indued the reunion of a sorrowing father
and a prodigal son. Eight years ago the
former was a resident of "Wilkesbarrc, Pa.,
aud the latter, his only child, was a bright
youth of twenty, who unfortunately fell in
with fast associates and became proficient
in all inanucr of youthful dissipation. Find
ing parental restraint irksome the boy ran
away from home and shipped upon a ves-
bound ior Liverpool. Alter several
v., . t t - i. , i;
ly his wits, he shipped as a cook on a ves
sol bound for Africa, but was prostrated
ly a severe fever and was sent back to
England. Upon his recovery lie went to
S iuth America, where he secured a posi
tion in the employ of an extensive stock
I miser, remained there for four years, and
at the end of that time having saved severa
hundred dollars in gold. Soon the old rov
ing disposition came over him, and he drif
ted off to Cuba and Mexico, and finally
arrived in New Orleans last fall, where he
associated with fast characters and soon
I lest what money he had through the agen
eifs of the wine bottle and the gaining
table. Durinir the winter he worked his
Tray North, and about two weeks ago ar
rived in this city from Cincinnati, with
only 3 in his pocket.
During all the long years of his absence
the prodigal had never written home and
had never heard from his parents. lie was
ignorant of the fact that they had removed
to Detroit, and he determined to earn
money enough, if possible, to take him back
to Wilkcsbarrc, where he intended to cn
ueavor to live a respectable life. Ovvin

was welcomed as if he had not been a pre-

ency sincere in lus determination to re-
brm, and is occupying a desk in his father's
establishment, where he already demon-
trates the possession of admirable business
qualifications, and bids fair to become a
useful member of soeietv.
This story may savor somewhat of the
improbable, but it was related to the wri
ter by a gentleman of unimpeachable vera
city, who enjoys intimate and confidential
relations with the parties, and who vouches
' the entire truthfulness, while at the
same time lie withholds the names and
other facts which mirht afford a clue to

In the polygamy case on trial at Beaver,
Utah, Judge Borenan charges that poly
gamy committed prior to 18G2 is punish
able now; that bigamy is a continous crime,
and that the statute of limitation do not
apply. This is directly opposite to the
charge of Judjre Emerson.

The following story is told about a
Dunkirk man : On Sc. Valentine's day
ic bought ten of the ugliest valentines he
could find, each one caricaturing some well
known fault or foible of his wife, and sent
them to her. "While the poor woman was
crvimr over them and wouderimr if there
really were ten people in the community
who thought so meanly of her, the boy of
the family said : liPa, are those the
pictures you bought at the store where
you got my whistle ?"

A Remarkable Swindle :
One of the most unique swindles on re
cord is reported in the Paris E eminent
About a month since the Havre corres
pondent of a large banking house in Pari
received the following letter from the head
of his firm :
Taris, Jan. 1875
Dear Sir: I write to warm you that
the son of our principal cashier has disap
pcarcd with some 200,000 francs in bill;
drawn upon you by us. lie will prbably
present them in Havre shortly after the
receipt of this by you. Of course you wil
re! use payment. As his lather is a very
old and valuable servant, wc have conclud
ed not to cause him the disgrace aud morti
cation of knowning that his son is a felon
You will therefore allow the scoundrel to
go free. If you can manage to get rid o
him by sending him to America, advance
him two or three hundred louis, and let
him go and hang himself. Confidential
lv.
The day after the receipts of this letter
the Havre house, a young man of fine ad
dress presented himself and attempted to
negotiate the stolen bills. The letter was
shown him, and he fell on his knees in
flood of repentant tears. He expressed
willingness to goto America, and 230 loui
(1,250) were giviu him with many cau
tions to reform.
The young man sailed for New York th
next day, and the day after the Havre
house received an answer to its letter o
advice detailing the facts. No bills had
- KJ
been stolen from the Paris house, the let
ter originally sent was a forgery, and th
principal cashier has no son. The police
of Xew York were notified to look for thi
remarkable swindler, but no liht Las been

Mrs. Fitch has not got the Kdedive's
wedding present after all. Congress passed
the resolution authorizing Mr. Fitch to ac-
ept it for her, and would have remitted
the duty upon the diamonds had not General
Sherman sensibly said that he did not want
Neither the bridegroom not the
'ather, however, can afford to pay the duty,
and, as the bride would hare to leave the
diamonds on deposit somewhere anyhow, it
is decided to leave them in the custom
louse for the present. Their value, by the
way, is not half a million, as supposed, but
only about seventy thousand dollars, and
the duty oa them is 817,500.
An analysis of the population of New
York, made by a leading journal of that
city, reveals some curious lacts as to the
origin of the inhabitants and the national
characteristics of those whose votes actually
control the chief American metroplis. A
ccording to the last census, which is now
agreed to have been quite accurate, the total
population of New York was 912,202. Of
these the proportion born in this country was
)5.52 per cent., leaving 4-1.43 per cent.
who were born abroad. But of those who
were born here fully three-fifths were the
children of foreign parents, who had come
rom other countries and settled in the city;
while only 17 per cent, of the whole popul
ion was derived from native-born parents
Taking the residents of the city by thou
sands it appears that out of every 1000
of
people there are ouly 170 real natives
the country, while 213 are Irish born, 1C0
German, 71 of other foreign nativity, and
3SG children of foreign-born parents. This
is widely different from the ratio existing
in the United States at large, where the
breigu-born element amounts to only one-
seventh of the entire population. This
statement explains the ease with which
Tweed aud the Tammany Ring have been
able to rule and rob the city of New York
The native citizens are so weak in political
power that they could be safely ignored and
snubbed, while the foreign vote as a body
could be easily controlled by making pets
and allies of the Irish and German leaders
The foreign vote,
as the emirrants are

native vote in the same number of people,
aud the naturalized citizens are much more

Thousands of the native citizens of New
York never vote at all, feeling that their
influence at the polls will count for nothing
against the overwhelming numbers derived

that the financial and commercial heart of
the American republic should be under the

the political cunning that has enabled the
Democratic party to engross the whole
strength of this vast bod of foreign voters,
year after year, is equally astonishing.
