THE PIOUS ROBBER
During Illy twenty-five years' of ac

" Yes, Harry, this is the tenth robbery

work up this one."
" I'll try it, hut, I cannot go to work
till morning, for 1 must rest." 4
"Ali right,"_returned the Chief, and
I tel the headquarters,
The many robberies which had taken
place on Il.(nul street were very myste
rious, and no trace. could be had of the
depredator, for they seemed to have
twee committed by one person. Detec

detective—this is by our Chief—and
nearly all the mysterious and intricate
work was placed in Illy hands.
As I entered headquarters the suc-,
seeding morning I was hailed by Nat
sell :
" Another robbery last night, Harry."
" Not on Bond-iiireet, 1 hope."
" Yes, it is there tignio."
" The devil !" I cried aston
bhed.
" It is either his .Satanie majesty or
IN imps," :,aid the Chief, with a smile
ipon his face.
" Who was visited last night ?"
Mrs. Durant, the 1 rish w 7 idow. She
vas there this Morning, and said that
site bad been robbed of valuablesamoun
ling to over five thousand dollars,"
" \Vhew !" I exclaimed, "that was a
big haul." -.
" Howard, you had better go
and examine the scene of the robbery,
and uo as you think best.".
I left the office and ere long stood on
the marble steps of Mrs. Durant's stone
front. 4\ servant bade me enter, and 1
was conducted to the parlor, where I
found Ibe widow bathed in tears. She
quickly looked up and drew her hand

" You come to investigate the matter,

" I do. 1"would like to see the room
where, you kepi, your valuables."
" Follow me," said the widow ; and
she led pie up stairs to a small room
where the jewel's had been kept.
Things were in a topsy turvy condi
tion. Drawers lay on the floor with
heir contents seat tered about the room.
I'he iron 'safe had teen broken ' open
Ind the money and jewels extracted. I
noticed that there was a stain of blood
upon one of the drawers, and eoncluded
that the burglar had injured himself in
some way, while committing hisdepre
dations. The next moment r picked
up a part, of nn envelop which was
Fiturated with blood. 1 examined it
elosoly, and found that it had 'Well ad

pocket, and lurniugto the window, said:

" Oh, no, I was requested to inquire

"'Phew yip' have no clue," said the
widow, te? I rose. to go out.
" I have nok madam. This is 'the
most complicated ease I have engaged
in. • But I hallo one more question to
ask." If
" Proceed, slir."
• "Can you describe any article that

"Oh, yes:--there was my betrothal

"Please describe T said impatient

"1t is a heavy gold ring, the letters

"That will dd." said 1, and the next
»Annie 7 was walking rapidly towards

of the case which I was engaged. 1
could not believe that Mr, Newton was
the hurglar, but then the question arose,

w 's room ?
Inn I must see the minister and know
more about him: l sauntered down
'Broadway and step

ken. He was a man of about twenty
eight years of age, with a cleanly shaved
face, and was neatly dressed. His eyes
were large and expressive, and the no
ble looking forehead told that ho was
intelligent. Though his looks spoke
well of him, I thought he needed watch
ing, and determined to dolt. When he
lett the store I folloWed him, but ho
went directly to his boarding-house.
The next night I watched ffewton's
house and saw him come forth and
walk away. I followed, and he led me
through street after street, until we en
tered It—street. Was he going to a
gambling hell?
Yes, it Was true. I saw him entering
a fashionable gambling resort. I fol
lowed suit, and saw my man seat him
self at a faro table. He bet heavily, but
lost; and at last he laid his last dollar
upon the table. • This time he wen, and
continued to do so until he was a thous
and dollars ahead. He then left the
room and went to. his boarding-house.
Nigh(after night I followed him to and
from the gambling house, but learned
nothing more. But success was to come.
One night I was looking at some gold
pens in a jewelry store, when a woman
entered and stood near me. Her per
son glittered with diamonds. As she
turned her face towards mo I saw Anna
Rodman, one of the many women in
New ,York w ho
"Barter their souls for the means of life."
,
As'she laid. her left hand upon the
counter, I saw a plain gold ring glisten
ing on one of her fingers. I leaned for
ward, looking at the ring,
and saw the
letters "T. 1)." engraved upon it. 1
knew it instantly.—lt was the betrothal
ring of which Mrs. Durant had been
robbed.
How came Anna in possession of that
ring? 1 must ascertain it; so I hastily
purchased a pen, and took my station
outside of the store to await her exit.
She came out at last and walked rapidly
away. L followed her through several
streets, until, when in the vicinity of
the battery, she was joined by a man
whom, as the light of the lamp fell upon
his face, I recognized as .Noali Newton;
the minister. The two entered a house
near by. Presently Newton came out
and walked away without being fol
lowed. After waiting an hour longer I
saw Anna come from , the building. I
stepped forward'and laid my hand upon
her shoulder.
" Who are you ?"
" Harry _Howard."
"A detective? Yes, I've heard of
you." •
" Anna, I arn engaged in my legiti
mate lminess, and I want you to assist
in catching a villain."
" I will do so HI can, sir."
" Then please inform me who gave
you that ring," I, said, pointing to the
stolen ring which
i vtis still upon her
linger.
"Noah Newton, i young, man who
lives on S streett
" Was it the persun whom you met a
while ago?"
It was, sir."
" Then, Anna, that ring belongs to
Mts. Durant, and that man whom you
met to-night is a preacher, and the cel
ebrated Bond street ..oblrer." .

" Yes, sir; and I hope you will CGatch
him," She answered and walked atway.
It was ten o'clock! now, • but I deter
mined to visit the witdow. She reqived
me kindly, but her Mace wore a look of
disappointment when I told her I had
no clue to the robbery.. After we had
talked a while, she Said :
"Our pastor pr4fiches his farewell
-sermon to-morrow."
" his farewell sermon !'" I cried, tit
!
Icily astonished. ! _
" Yes, he leaves for California imme
diately after the seilvices are concluded.
His brother has written for him to come.
His congregation Will be sorry to - part
with him, and I especially, for he com
forted me when I vas in sorrow and
pointed me tollie Lamb of God!"
"The hypocrite'," 1 mentally ex
claimed.
I lett the widOW in a hurry, and went
to headquarters, got Charlie Ross and
proce e ,d e o n, Newton's house to arrest
him. floc the bird had flown. He had
gone, his housekeeper said, to spend the
night with a friend in the lower part of

We were chagrined at our defeat and
resolved to arrest him before he reached
the church. We went to the church at•
an early hour, but frur game was already
there and the choir was singing. We
entered and occupied a back seat; we
were compelled to do so, for the church
was filled with peciple who had come to
hear the farewell discourse.
The preacher arose and took ; his text,
which I think read as follows ; "Be ye
holy ; for I am holy." The discourse
was a splendid one, In which his tal
ents shone with all their brightness.
He concluded by exhorting his hearers
to take him as an example, and follow
him as he followed Christ!
When the services were concluded,
lie descended frohi the pulpit to receive
the farewells of his congregation. The
ladies gathered around him to receive
the parting; kiss. At last he started to
wards the door.
" Dow's your time, Harry," whis
pered Chlrley Ro!ss, as Newton neared

I stepped up to I he pious robber, and
grasping his arm, cried out:
" Mr. Newton i • the name of the com
monwealth of Ne v York, I arrestyou."
" What for."' lie stammered out.
" For the Bond street robberies."

The next instant Charlie Ross sprang

and Mr. Newton was marched off amid
the shrieks and f roans of his congrega

a full confession, and went to Sing Sing

All the fruits of big robberies were

VENTILATE YOIIII CELLAIIS.—Many a
dangerous fever has been caused by the.
foul air from. dark, damp, and unventi
lated cellars. confined air, without the
purifying influence of Sunlight, soon
becomes impure and unwholesome.
Most cellars serve as ai reservoir for this
impure air, which, in addition, is load
ed with decomirosing organic matteni
and foul gases, given oil' front the
masses of decaying vegetables with.

which they a
re toned. The foul air
finds its way sl wly and constantly
into the upper roi ins of the house, there
to poison the sys ms of its occupants. 1
'Cellars should be zept as clean and pure
as any portion of he house. They afro
should be well v ntilated, which can
easily be done by having a flue opening
from-the cellar into the chimney, and
by having, one or more openings from

A Wicked Prank.
Wednesday night quite a fashionable
wedding was eeletrated in the Fourth
District. The bride was. pretty, as all
newly married ladies are; and the groom
was the glass of fashion and the mould
of form. A number of invited guests
lent grace and beauty to ,the occasion,
and hearty congratulations testified the
good wishes of many friends for the
happiness of the newly wedded pair.—
But the hours waned rapidly, and the
time for retiring came at last. The
bride was led by laughing bridesmaids
up to her chamber door., But imagine
their surprise when it-was opened by a
lady richly and elegantly clad in a trav
eling suit, and evidently waiting for an
interview.
" I beg pardon, niadinw; but you ap
pear astonished," said the strange lady.
" I must confess I did not expect to
see any one here," replied the bride.
" so, madam ; I came in very pri
vately, and wished an interview, sub
ject to no interruption." -
It did not occur to the bride to in-
quire by whom she had been introduced,
flir by what means she had gained ae
ecss to her apartment.
"It is very strange, ma'am, and I
can't imagine why you wish to see me!"
• "The reason is simple. The man you
have just married bus imposed upon
you. lam his wile!"
" Oli ! impossible—y 9 rave!" and
the lady sank into a chair almost faint
ing. Of course, the bridesmaids
screamed. Such asuccession of shrieks.
one has rarely heard. It speedily
brought the family to the door with
terror-stricken faces, and with the
bridegroom, all asking with trembling
lips— •
What in the world is the Matter?"
" Olt ! Edward," cried the I t tridq, ' this
person says she's your wife.' l
Aly wife !" shouted the astonished
litisband ; " why, she's insane," _
The strange lady stood ucalm and
kitiruffied. .1
" Is it possible, sir, that, having- per
petrated this great wickedness, you will
have the hardihood to deny that I am
your lam ful waled' wife?" she asked,
looking tI,V sorely troubled Edward full
in the eye.,
" Why, confound yOu, woman !- I
never saw you before in my life!" p:11-
claimed the astonished Man.
The lady regarded Win. very much as
a minister wouW a person given over to
total depravity.
" Oh ! Edward, Pin afraid its trite!
anti I love you, so!" sobbed the young
wife; " how could you lave treated'me
so?"
" I thll - you I haven't got any wife
but you ; this woman is l an imposter."
The strange lady uttered a low, meek
ing laugh. I The scene was gettingll7
terested to the last degree. The ladies
were all crying, and the father of the
bride looking stern and I indignant. Ile

remarkable and pleasant facts about

night, which I reO•o4ce to show tlie

Two years before the war broke ot.,
Webb ‘Nilder--a dauntless, truthltd,
high-blooded man from Massachusets,
but Westernized in "Wisconsin—crossed
the Missouri river from the Kansas side
and established in St. Joseph a weekly
anti-slavery a vmspaper called tlic',Free
Democrat. lie had been publishing
this paper but a short time in the mi4t
of abuse and danger, day by day, when
young Chenowith i al Virginian,
ap
peared and said to liin - i;
' I believe in the principles you ad
vocate, Mr. Wilder, and I want to be t a
newspaperi nan to help them on. I
would like to buy an interest in your
paper.'
Webb Wilder, laways speaking
from the shoulder :
We two proprietor. are working at
the case, practical printers. It tali - 6s
all our own labur to get up the paper,
without regard to the(laily terror of our
liVes. I would advise you not to risk
your money here.'
Young Chenowith replied, ' If you
will let me put up my money, 1 will go
to the ease and learn to set type with
the rest'of you.' • ,
Ile gave in his fifteen hundred or to
thousand dollars, and ‘l.7ent to the ease.
Those three made the paper jump. It
used all real or speciois arguments to
set the border aflame, and the Personal
gallantry of every min gave their ut
terances character. Even J eir. (Thomp
son, the mayor,' respected these young
men, and, as far as he could, covered

Playing• with Forrest
Not many yeals ago,.one of the most
successful and enterprising of the pros
cut American managers was a scene
painter at a Boston theatre. But though
apparently devoted to theTeneil and
brush, he felt within him the SOUL of
ROscius rather than of Beverly, and
secretly longed for histrionic fame. To
tread the boards before admiring thous
-ands-4o appear in front of the scenes
instead of painting them—this was his
ardent but concealed ambition. How
his ambition was gratified, and with
what results, is a story too long reserv
ed by 'Manager S for his private
friend. •
In the course of a starring tour Ed

not, let me inform-you that Luculluslis
the fhithfiit slave of Damon, who kills
his master's horse to prevent him from
returning to die instead of Pythias.—
When Donlon finds that his horse is
dead he abuses Lucullus violently, and
this scene alWays ' brings down the
house.' .
.Mr. Forrest is the most muscular of
tragedians, and reports of the manner
in which he vented his fury in Damon
and Pythias had reached in 80-fton, and
caused the minor actors to shirk the
part of Lucullus.
Thus eame the chance for which
S hail long and eagerly waited.
He volunteered his services ; and the
great tragedian, after critically inspect
ing the slight figure of S , accept
ed the volunteer and rehearsed with
Win. The rehearsals all went smoothly.
` Here I se'ize you,' said Mr. Forrest.
' Certainly sir,' replied S I ' ' cheer

Suke Baker and I used t• take great
shine to
° one another. Suk: was one of
your right down smart., ell-looking
and good-behaving gals. ~he appreci

never should had no troubl& if it had'nt
been for the old man., He N as a, darned
old snake in the grass, a d made u
more trouble than all th rest of the'
family.. Suke and I never 'joyed our
selves, for he was al,va 's sneakin'
round and throwin' out hin , and mak
in' himself as hateful as h• was home
ly. I got sick pn't and so id Suke. , I
suppose the old scamp didn't like me,
and didn't want me the e. I don't
know what else to make of it, for he
told me more than twe ty times to
leave and not come again.
" Suke's room was in tilt end of the
Chamber, and I told her .ne time to
leave her window up, and I'd come in
and we'd'have a bit of a visi . I 'mowed
she wouldn't hesitate to d • it, for I'm
honest and very 'spectful i • my helm\--
ore. Well, after the. folks were all in
bed, and the how-e was still, I goeS and
gets a ladder and puts it in to the win
dow. I then initial oil' 1 y•boots' and
crawled up. Suite met m at the win
der sill, and a tickelder co pie you nev
er see than we was, but just as I was
trying to clamber in, tin confounded
ladder slid, and dawn it went, thunder
to lick, making noise enough to wake
up the whole town. It li t one of the
'lower winders and knoc -ed 'it all to
smash. I just caught by the tip ends
of my fingers on thu wind r sill. Suke,
seeing me falling, made a grab for me,
agd got me by the hair f the -head ;
aild 'tween us with I just made out-to
stay, but I thought 'Mout I been as well
if 1 hadn't been there for could neith
' er get in nor get away.
Old Baker heard the r, eket, and out
~' he came iu his shirt to se • what was to

suppose the old whelp mi. trusted some
_ thing, for he went and gat a fish pole;

and begun to welt at m linibs really

N',ery harrisin situation. ' There I was
'speeded by the hair—fur Suite did the
most of the hanging m--1 nd old Baker
as mad as a hoc, jilt wallo )in' me down

I should fall perhaps and hi oak my neck.

enough to strike the old whelp dead ;

TE H SHOOTINO FISH. Tois very re
markable fish is a native of' the West
Indies. Natur has co strutted this
aquatic sports' tap in
a very singular
manner, but one admira y adap:cd to
his sporting prOileetions. The fish has
a hollow cylindrical ; btak: - HO fre
quents the rivers on 'th seashore in
search of food, and fron the unusual
manner in which lie pr vides for his
daily wants be derives lii name. When
this hungry gen tleilian spies a .11y or
au insect not. takh -i g du care of him
self, but sitting J oil Jpla is in shallow
water, he swims' tqay t the distance
of four or five feet, :rind - ften six feet,
that he may tale aim JAt his prey, and
when he has done so to 1 is satisfaction,
he then with amazing dexterity and
cleverness, ejects out o his tube-like
mouth, one diup of watt r, which is so
well directed, and so swi 'fly shot forth,
that it never fails'to fins] the fly into
the water, and once the •e, all hope of
escape is gone—the fish farts upon its
prey and eagerly devours it ; thus sup-.
plying us with another i istance of the
