An Extraordinary Case of Extortion...
An Old Gentleman Swindled out of
511.000 by the 44 Husband , ' Game.
A few mouths since, an old gentleman from
Newark, Now Jersey, came to Now York on busi
ness. One evening, while passing along Broad
way, he was accosted by a woman. Though his
head was graced with the snows of many winters,
his heart was as inflammable of that of any youth
in the dog days of life. The old gentleman made
but slight resistance to the charms of the siren,
and finally consented to accompany her home.
The happy oouple had scarcely entered the house,
when an infuriated man rushed into the room,
and frantically exclaimed :—" I have found you
out! You are betraying me, but your paramour
shall not escape my just vengeance. I will make
him feel what it is to destroy the happiness of a
loving husband 1" The lady screamed, implored,
wept, and finally, as a last resort, fainted. The
elderly seducer protested on his honor that the
unfortunate lady was innocent. For some time
the husband sternly refused to listen, but at
length, through the entreaties of a friend who
had accompanied him, he agreed to accept a
thousand dollars, and say no more about the
matter.
The old gentleman being rich, was glad to es
cape thus easily. He paid one hundred dollars
down, all the money he had with him, and prom
ised that he would give the rest at ten o'clock
next morning, making an appointment at the
New York Hotel for that purpose. In security
for this agreement he was easily induced to leave
behind his fine gold watch and chain. Next
morning, at the appointed hour and place, the
old man paid over to the injured husband and
frienu the additional nine hundred dollare, and
left for home, thinking the matter was wholly
settled so far as he was concerned. But he was
wofully mistaken, for soon afterward his mascu
line friends called upon him at his own house;
and by threats of exposure and legal proceedings
unless he complied, induced him to pay two
thousand dollars more. This visit they solemnly
promised would be the last, but it was not. They
called again and again, and by means of the old
threats contrived not CO leave empty-handed.
One day, the friend, by whose kind interces
sion the compromise had first been made, called
upon the old gentleman and told him that the
loving husband, whose peace -he had destroyed,
was dying, and for obvious reasons it would be
well to pay him a visit, that he might not, in his
paroxysms, divulge the secrets which it would be
well to keep quiet. The old gentleman followed
to the house of the dying man. He was ushered
into a darkened room, and there beheld the in
jured husband, apparently in the last agonies,
crying out, " Let me clutch the destroyer of my
happiness and my wife's honor ! bring him be
fore me!" The old man, badly frightened,
begged the few. sympathizers who were present
to keep the dying man quiet, and freely left be
hind him two thousand dollars more to pay the
poor fellow's funeral expenses and doctor's bills.
He had paid nine thousand dollars in all, and
now, he thought, the matter must surely end.
But again he was mistaken.
One evening his domestic dares were invaded
by two seedy-looking gentlemen, whose appear
ance indicated perfect specimens of the genus
literary, who live by writing sensation stories,
and digging up scandal like ghouls. They in
troduced themselves and presented him with a
neatly written manuscript, which they requested
him to peruse. To his horror he found it to be
a highly colored account of the nocturnal adven
ture, names, So., in full. The peace and good
name of his family were at stake, so he asked
what sum would induce them to suppress it.
After some consultation they named two thou
sand dollars, saying that their publisher had al
ready paid for it, but out of consideration for his
family they would withdraw it. The money was
handed over, the manuscript burned, the writers
took their departure, and the old man, with his
purse now considerably lightened, plucked up
courage to prevent further extortion. With this
view he notified some New York• police officers,
and begged their protection. One of these offi
cers (Henry Hope), after considerable search,
succeeded in arresting one of the swindlers.
The prisoner was brought before Recorder Bar
nard, who committed him temporarily, an affi
davit having been made against him. The old
gentleman, who had been victimized so badly
and in a manner so old, would not, however,
press the.affair to a further examination for fear
of the publicity which would ensue, but ex
pressed himself satisfied in tho knowledge that
he would not be further disturbed.
Work on a Sugar Plantation.
A correspondent who spent the last winter
on a sugar plantation in Louisiana, furnishes
the Boston Traveler the following interesting
account of the planting, cultivation, and ma
nufacture of the sugar crop in that State:
" Last winter most of my time was spent on
-4 sugar plantation in Louisiana. I found, that
Upon a well cultivated plantation the product
w•ss about 2,400 pounds of sugar and 2,000
pounds or 160 gallons of molasses per acre, and
upon the plantation that I was visiting the mill
produced one thousand gallons of juice per hour,
about twenty hours in a day, giving ten hogs
heads of sugar, or 12,000 pounds, and twenty
barrels of molasses, or 800 gallons, weighing
twelve pounds per gallon.
"In Louisiana the cane never ripens, and
therefore is allowed to grow as long as it can be
done with safety from frosts. In the latter part
of October they commence by saving their seed,
that is by cutting tne cane they need for plant
ing, and securing it by placing it in mats, so
called, on the ground, say twenty feet by forty,
resting it on the embankmeat, with the buts on
the ground at au angle of about twenty degrees,
leaving a mass of tops c, the surface, a foot
deep, and forming a perfect protection against
frost.
"Next they commence to take off thin crops.
Every negro has at all times iu his possession
a cane knife, like a butcher's clever, and' kept
very sharp. With the back of the knife he
knocks off the dry leaves, and cuts of the stook
as of no value where the leaves aro green.
Should a frost come whilst they are making su
gar the work is stopped,. and all hands are em
ployad in winnowing the cane in the fields, as a
fermentation commences immediately if it is al
lowed to stand.
" After making the sugar they commence
pl luting, which is done once for three years.
No manure is used. It is planted by burying
two lines of cane in a plow furrow, and culti
vated like'corn, in rows seven feet apart. The
fourth year the laud is put in corn and peas.
After the corn' is gathered the stocks and peas
are plowed in, and the laud is ready for cane
again.
' " The cane is as certain as any large'crop we
have. The unusual cold for three winters past
has diminished the oror from 440,000 hhds. in
1853, to 73,000 last year. But this year the
(Top will be 250 to 300,000 hhds., and if we
have a mild winter may be as large next year
as in 1852, when the planters sold their molas
ses for four cents a gallon, or three pounds for
a cent.
The high price for molasses the past season
was altogether from speculation."
A Rainy sight In Mo . Care.
The editor.of the New York Courier thus dis
courses upon tho advantages of civilization :
" We have tested the comforts of a night of
rill 1, gloom, wild wind, and all that the storm
could devise to impress upon the traveler what
an invention, what a charm of civilization, thrice
refined, it was to roll securely through all this
gloom, and in the face, in the scowl of the storm,
and while the rain dashed over road and river,
to he borne rapidly and safely in a lighted ruins,
and where the thoughts could glide into indolent
perplexity, the very threshold to sleep.
" A rainy night in the cars! That it is whioh
lifts this century high, if not dry, above all
ethers. Where else but in our times, and where
else but in the lands of the civilizld, could the
traveler smile at the storm, and find rather more
pleasure from the contrasts than hindrance from
its power? The wanderer over the earth a cen
tury or a half-century since would, on such a
night as this,' have been the personification of a
-dull despair. He would have been saturated at
thwfirsi mile, begrimmed at the second, had
been introduced, with every prospect of a close
acquaintance, to consumption and rheumatism
at the close of his doleful journey."
