It was uot until the next morning lllat he found the house. It was an empty build ing at 112 Locust street, next door to the J.iaker City Laundry, ami with a -To Let" on its front.

Since the above letter was received, how ever, it has been found that three men, who are undoubtedly the parties in question, had in 'lie I"reoo6 of the tth visited a second hand office furniture store ou the corner of Filth and Locust streets, ouly half a square from where the robbery occurred, and tried to buy a desk on "tick.

The description on the detective's book tr the three swindlers, furnished by Van Dyke himself, is this : The tea man, alias Pomeroy, is a young man with a smooth lace, wears a gray sack coat and overcoat, light soil hat ; bad an umbrella aud canva-s-covered sample box. The "clerk" in the rretended ticket ofliee Is about 28 year, old, rather slim and stoops a little, has red hair and red full whiskers, nnd dark sack coal, ami i a Germau. The old man who pretended te waut a ticket lor Keutucky is about 60 years of ge, has a gray mousUche and whiskers and a broad-brimmed white bat, woll worn, and wears a suit of gray. Ou this occasion he was gotten up as a dro er, talked like a Kentticktan and carried a drorer's stick in liis hand- The proprietor of the furniture store at Fifth and Locust streets, without seeing or knowing anything of this previous descrip tion, was asked to describe the parties who had called on him. This he did, and his description tallied exactly with the above VlLLXiaY BOLD AJtO a.raiiT. Oue link after another was followed, each step seeming to get nearer the parties. This following up led to the discovery of aa ex tensive phase of villainy that nourishes in this tity among thieves and swindlers--nearly every one oT them ex-convicts utt -def the guise of the tea-business." It !s an ascertained fact that there exists in this nlace. which bare been titled with goods aud signs to represent tea up stores solely Tor the purpose or swindling tid robbing. The men who have run these place, are the ring-leader, of one of the boldest set of confidence swindlers that ever pestered a city. They have a corp. of ono.er.imr. or tools who operate under the f "te Pler;" that in, each one e oritain, Bucks county, on Arch street, and accosting him by name inquired after the people of his neighborhood, rep- hiT,f - r E-At- "'' t1" Lear.

So wheu the third man, Jamison, with hia tea box under his arm, accosted him on Arch street on Tuesday afternoon, he thought the business was becoming old and bail him arrested. He a as taken before Magistrate Smith and at the hearing Mr. Scott related bow this thii'f had approached him. His manner was exactly the same as that of the man related " ,,J,ter ol Mr- ! ke, and every thing seemed to combine to identify the two characters as belonging to one and the sauie person, ilagistrate Smith committed the fellow to JIoj amcnsiiig iu default of $V "i! bail, ou the siirjtle charge to keep the I peace.

The furniture man S..M be would be able to pick 't the three iiK-n who had been iu ' l on the th of April anywhere if he once got his eyes on them. This was re assuring, but the chance did Dot occur.

A negligent and impudent servant ran never become a good master. Tlie policy or the Roman government toward the peo ple they conquered was to take the most cultivated and ablest of the conquered peo ple for servants. They had two reasons lor doing so : The first was, that by removing the people of ability, means, and manners, they removed tbe danger of revolt or over throw of Romaa authority ; the second was, that people of ability and manners made the best servants. When they served they did it with an understanding of the relations that exist between master and servant. It was the boast of many a Roman that he hail iu ' hi. kitchen and on hi. farm, as servants, I men and women who were or the noble families or the people that Roman armies conquered.
