Caught at Last.
Mfl. DAME was a rich, retired mer.
chant, In the habit of currying a
liberal supply of money about hlm: and
given to wearing expensive Jewelry.
lie occupied an elegnut suite of bachelor
apartments, where he was found mur
dered In his bedroom one morning.
The manner of the crime was as little
mysterious as Its motive. The victim's
skull had been beaten In with tsouie
blunt Instrument, and'hts money, jew
els and watch had been taken.
Any brutal ruffian might have done
such a deed. There was no particular
clew to follow ; and eveu Orvllle Thorns
confessedly the shrewdest man on the
force, whose scent on the trail of a crlui
inal seldom proved at fault, was obliged
to acknowledge he didn't see his way.
Mr. ThoniB had won his spurs a year
before, as an amateur, in ferreting out a
formidable gang of forgers around whom
he succeeded in weaving a web of cir
cumstances thut left not a loophole for
escape ; and when the whole band after
their conviction, wagged their tongues
against him, denouncing him as their
ringleader, who had betrayed them for
a price, there was a general Bmile of de
rision ; and, as a mark of the public
confidence in Mr. Thorns, he was given
a place on the detective force, of which
he was a member at the time of Mr.
Dame's murder.
The mayor offered a large reward for
the apprehension aud conviction of the
murderer. Mr. Thorns noticeably prick
ed up his ears at this, lie was not the
man to let such an amount of money
slip through his fingers.
" He'll get it 1" more than one of us
whispered.
And sure enough, on the third morn
ing when we met iignln for consultation,
Mr. Thorns sauntered in, with a smirk
of satisfaction on ills face, aud took a
seat at the table.
The rest of us had nothing new to tell
whereat Mr. Thorns smiled contemptu
ously. " I have a report to make,'' he re
marked quietly.
" Proceed, sir," said the chief, eyeing
him rather sharply.
" At an early hour this moiiilug,''Mr.
ThomB continued, " I noticed a shabbi
ly dressed man enter a pawnbroker's
otlice. His manner was lurking and
Busplcious. I followed him in, waking
a pretext of wishing to pawn a ring I
had taken from my Auger J Whilst hig
gling with one of the clerks, I kept a
keen eye on the man I kad followed, who
was offering a handsome gold watch to
another clerk.
" Let me see it," I said, turning up
my lapel and displaying my official
badge; and placing myself between the
customer and the door, I took the watch
from the counter and examined it. . In
Btde the case wrb the maker's name and
the number. No doubt was possible. It
was the murdered man's watch of which
1 had a full description.
"The man gave no satisfactory ac
count of himself, or his possession of
the stolen property, and of course, I ar
rested him at once. The case is a very
simple one. The murder, it is conceded,
was committed in the perpetration of a
robbery. Part of the property taken is
found in the possession of the prisoner,
a circumstance which he fails to ex
plain. What. .proof, could be any
stronger V"
" Bravo 1" we exclaimed. " The re
ward is yours, Mr. Thorns. It's a for
tune you might afford to retire ou, and
give the rest of us a chance."
Mr. Thorns beamed benignantly, and
the meeting broke up.
I was on the point of leaving with the
others, when the chief touohed my arm
and desired me to remain for a few min
utes. Our brief conference was strictly con
fidential, aud it would not be proper to
reveal it here. At the end of it, I hur
ried out. My way and Mr. Thorns' lay
along the same street ; but he had bo
much the start that I was barely in
time to see him enter his own door.
Bright and early next morning I was
met by our chief at the principal rail
road depot, whither I had cautiously fol
lowed a gentleman in an iron-gray wig
aud blue goggles, whom I lost no time
in pointing out to the chief.
The latter approached and touched
the gentleman's shoulder.
" A word with you, if you please sir,"
said the chief.
" I'm in a hurry," returned the other
" the train is about starting, and I real
ly cannot afford to miss It."
" Do not force me Thorns," the chief
whispered, "to strip you of your dis
guise here. Your plan was cunningly
laid, but, unluckily for you, it has not
succeeded. It was a shrewd device of
yours to feign intoxication flight before
last, and take an exposed seat in the
park. From a concealed spot I saw a
thief approach nd pick yon r pocket of
a watch, as yon designed should be
done. As he hurried away you rose and
followed stealthily, whilst I, tin observed
kept In night of ytm both. VW&ll three
satAttered up and down till morning
came, and the shops began to open. I
saw you and your man enter a pawn
broker's place, aud there 1b do doubt
that it was Mr. Dame's watoh which
was offered to be pledged, and quite as
little that it is the same which I saw
taken from your pocket by the thief
whom you would now bring to the gal
lows with the double purpose of screen
lng yourself and securing the proffered
reward. The object of your present
Journey, doubtless, is to convey to a
place of safety the rest of your lll-got-teti
gain."
The new prisoner was taken to a pri
vate room and searched, and on his per
son were found a number of articles
readily Identified as having belonged to
Mr. Dame.
And so after all, it was our model de
tective who was tried and hanged, and
not the wretched pickpocket who had
been purposely enticed into stealing the
tell tale watch, that he might stiller for
another crime of which lie wus not
guilty, nnd enable the real culprit to es
cape and pocket the reward.
A SHARP PARENT.
AT Baden Budeu,a Hungarian Count,
Christian V , and his daugh
ter Helen came to pass the Beason. The
young Countess, charming aud beautiful
aind heiress to a large fortune bequeath
ed her by her mother, was soon sur
rounded by a host of admirers. She
speedily became captivated by one of the
most worthless of her suitors, Carl M
because he had a handsome face, and
long, black, wavy beard, was gifted with
a fascinating manner, dressed with ex
quisite taste, danced marvelously, and
possessed rare powers as a singer. Curl
was a noted gambler and given to dis
sipation, and Count Christian became
possessed of the information that the
young chevalier had quitted Naples in
couseqeiice of some scnndalous adven
ture in which he hud beeu implicated.
Helen was bo completely Infatuated
with Carl that she gave no heed to the
ndvlce, the prayers or even the orders of
her father. Blie would not believe the
reports of the disgraceful antecedents of
her wily lover. The condition of afltilrs
brought the Count, possessed of a re
markable degree of firmness, to the de
termination of originating some plan
whereby he could effectually overcome
the persistent efforts of Carl to secure
his daughter, us well as convince Helen
that to save her from such an unprinci
pled man was a deed of paternal tender
ness and care.
The chevalier had continued adroit
ly in his work of ensnaring the young
heiress, and finally in direct terms asked
her to elope with him. He wrote a note
proposing a clandestine meeting at an
hour when her father was in the habit
of going out to play whist with some
gentlemen of his aoquaintance, and in
it made the suggestion that, If she fav
ored the proposition, she Bhould wear in
her belt a rose aa a sign of consent.
Jount Christian, having Intercepted the
letter, took occasion soon after to ap
proach Helen, and then ask her to go
out with him, at the same time handing
her a flower, remarking : "Put this in
your belt as an ornament." Bhe smil
ingly obeyed. In the course of their
walk they met Carl, who bowed, and
was overjoyed to notice that Helen had
carried out his request.
The Count conducted his daughter to
the residence of one of his acquaintances
and requested her to wait till he called
for-her. This done he returned to the
house he occupied on the outskirts of
Baden Baden. He had sent away his
servants and was alone. At the appoint
ed hour Carl arrived and leaped over
the garden wall. Finding the door se
curely closed, he entered the house
through one of the windows. With
pleasureable excitement he hastened to
ward Helen's apartments, but great was
his astonishment to find her father arm
ed with a brace of pistols. The Count
closed the door, and said to the miserable
chevalier :
"CarlM si could kill you; I
have the right to do bo. You have en
tered my house at night; you have brok
en in to it. I oould treat you as a felon
nothing could be more natural."
" But, sir," said Carl, trembling, and
in most an inaudible tone, " I am not a
robber."
"Not robber!" exclaimed Count
Christian. " What are you then V" You
have com to ateal my daughter, to steal
an heiress and a fortune, I have your
criminal letter. I shall show you no
mercy, If you refuse me I will elay
you I" ... ;
" What Is your will, sir V"
" You must leave Baden this lnHtarft.
You must put at least two hundred
leagues between it and you, and never
come into the presence of my daughter,
For your traveling expenses I will give
you 20,)00 francs."
Carl endeavored to speak.
" Silence," said the Count Ju a voice
of thunder. " You must obey. In that
secretary is the money. Vake it."
The chevalier ventured the remark!
" Permit me to decline your offer."
The false modesty of the young man
was overcomo by the imperious gesture
of the old mau.
" But," Bald Carl, " the secretary Is
locked."
" Break the lock then," returned the
Count, and with his pistol in his hand
he repeated, " Break lt,or I'll blow your
brains out."
Carl obeyed.
" It is well," said the gentleman,
"those bank notes are yours. Have you
a pocket-book with anything Identifying
it as belonging to you 1"'
"Yes."
" Then let it full in front of the secre
tary which you have broken open."
'What, sir?"
"I must have proof which will con
vict you. I mean to have all the evi
dence of burglary. Robber or death I
Choose 1 Ah, I see your choice Is made.
Now go before me. I do not quit you
until you are a league from Baden. I'll
return late, and enter no complaint
against you till to-morrow noon. Now,
begone."
Chevalier Carl could not resist the
compulsory order.and Count Christian's
plan was carried out to the very letter.
The affair created great noise and excite
ment. Helen could no longef doubt as
to Carl's character, and It was not long
before his image was banished from her
heart, and that was in due time surren
dered to one of her cousins, a captain of
au Austrian cavalry regiment.
Why the Book-Kecper Stole.
HE had a wife. ,
His sulary was $2,000 per annum.
But Bhe complained.
She wanted a better house.
Better clothes.
. Nothing fit to go out lu.
No country cottage.
Nor carriage.
Nor front pews.
Nor society.
She coveted a place on the ragged edge
of the select COO.
She kept it up.
Night and day.
And moaned and
Groaned aud
Growled and
Wept.
He lacked Btyle, also, .
As well as new clothes every six
weeks, and various other things.
He knew how his employer made
several hundreds daily on the Btreets.
A thousand or bo would not be missed
for a few hours.
So he took It, and went up the street
and won.
She got her sealskin.
He took more and lost.
More to get that back and lost.
More yet. 1
Defalcation discovered.
He wears the Penitentiary check.
Others are going, too.
Beware.
But If you win regularly,society won't
be hard on you.
But if you lose, society will Bit down
on you.
Beware.
Better is a modest room up two pair of
back stairs than a cell in the Tombs.
And a plain woolen Jacket rather
than a pair of prison uniform pants on
poor Charlie's legs.
Something In a Name.
Remarked Brother Gardner, of the
Limekiln Club: I, fur one, hev been
pained to obsarye a growin' desire on de
part o' cull'd folkses to knock deir
chil'en down wid silver-plated front
names. Down in my block ebery cabin
hez a Hortense, or a Maud, or a Gene
vieve, who will grow up to go bar fut in
summer an' bend ober de washtub in
winter. I believe dat half what alls de
niggers now-a-days am deir fancy names.
I tell ye, dem am a powerful burden for
a chile to carry. No young gal wid
big root an' a mour like a sasser am
gwine to look any purtler fur bein'
called Cleopatra Viva Clarabel. No,

names, such as Polly, Dinah, Chloe,
Sam, Tom an Jim. Dar's sunthin

(sixteen ounces to de pound. Dis kentry
am trying to get rid of em, an' banks
am bustln', men stealin', towns burnln'

I tell ye, an honest, straightforward

" Old Billy Gray" used to do a big
'lump of the foreign mercantile business
of Boston. One day a new salesman
was employed by Gray's firm. He had
heard much of Mr. Gray's wealth and
was every day expecting to Bee a sleek
old gentlemau dressed in the finest
clothes, with gold watoh, chain, Jewelry
&o. This new salesman bought a tur
key one morning aud was looking out
for somebody to carry it borne for him
A plainly dressed man asked him how
Would lie would give him to carry the
turkey for him. "Nlnepence." The bar
gain was struck aud the two walked
down towards Slate street Bide by side,
the elder carrying the turkey by its legs
in one hand. When the young man's
home was reached the turkey was duly
delivered and the nlnepence paid as
agreed, whereupon the elder of the two
re turned thanks to the young man,
attended with the request that whenever
he wanted to pay nlnepence for the
carrying of a turkey a few blocks on the
way he himself was going to Just call
on old Billy Gray and he would be glad
of a Job by which he oould earn nine-
pence bo easily.
For Ths Tim El
How to Have a Bad School.
TIT J. A. S5ELLEK8.
THIE following which Is taken from
the Pennsylvania School Journal,
may be of benefit to the citizens of Terry
county.
1. Elect the most ignorant, bigoted,
close-fisted old fogies In the district to
the school board.
2. Employ the cheapest teacher you
can get, regardless of qualifications, rep-,
utatlon or experience.
J 8. Find all the fault you can with the
teacher, and tell everybody ; especially
let the pupils hear it.
4. When you hear a bad report about
the teacher or he school, circulate it as
fast as you can.
5. Never visit the school, or encourage
the teacher.
0. If you should happen to visit the
school, take close notice of what eeen
to go wrong, and tell everybody about
It except the teacher.
7. Never advise your children to be
obedient to the teacher, and when one is
punished, rush to the school room before
your passion is cooled, and give the
teacher a hearing in the matter in the
presence of the whole school.
8. Be indiflereut about sending your
children to school regularly.
0. Do not be concerned whether they
have the necessary books.
10. If any of the pupils make slow
progress, blame the teacher for it.
11. Occupy your old. tumble-down
school house as long as you can, and do
not go to any expense to repair It.
12. Do not go to any expense to get
apparatus, improved furniture, etc.
13. If the teacher or pupils should
complain of an uncomfortable or incon
venient school-room, do not consider it
worthy of notice.
14. Get the cheapest fuel you can. In
general, conduot your school on the
cheapest possible plan, and let your
chief concern be to find fault and devise
ways of retrenchment.
If these rules are faithfully carried
out, you are not likely to fail in having
a bad school.
National Handwriting.
It is a remarkable fact that no man
can ever. get rid of the style of hand
writing peculiar to his country. If he
be English be always writes in English
style; If French, in French style; if
German, Italian , or Spanish, in the style
peculiar to his nation.
Professor B states : I am acquaint
ed with a Frenchman who has passed
all his life in England, who speaks Eng
lish like one of our own countrymen,
and writes it with ten times the correct
ness of ninety-nine In a hundred of us ;
but who cannot, for the life of him, im
itate our mode of writing. I knew a
Scotch youth who was educated entirely
in France, and resided eighteen years in
that country, mixing exclusively with
French people, but who, although be
had a French writing-master, and, per
haps, never saw anything but French
writing in his life, yet wrote exactly in
the English style ; yet in Paris all writing-masters
profess to teach the French
hand so it was really national instinct.
Some pretend to be able to tell the char
acteristics of individuals from their hand
writings. I know not bow this may be,
but certainly the nation to which an in
dividual belongs can be instantly deter
mined by bia handwriting. The differ
ence between the American or English
and the French hand-writing U immense
a school-boy would distinguish it at a
glance ; that between Italian, Spanish,
and German handwritings is equally de
cided. In fact, there is about as gjeat a
difference in the handwritings of na
tions as in their languages.
O" Between male and female, says a
modern writer, there is a difference of
kind only not degree. Man is strong,
woman isbeautifnl ; man is daring and
confident, woman is diffident and unas
suming ; man Is great in action, woman
in suffering ; man shines abroad, woman
at home ; man talks to convince, woman
to persuade ; man has a rugged heart, a
woman a soft aud tender one ; man pre
vents misery, woman relieves, it ; man
has science, woman .taste ; man has
Judgment, woman sensibility ; man is a
being of justice, woman au angel of
mercy. It was not au old bachelor who
i wrote this though.
