ANEcDoTE.--An American drummer ha-
wing strolled from the camp, approached the
English lines, and was seized by the piquet
and carried before the commander, on sus-
picion of being spy, disguised in a drum
mer's uniform. On being questioned he
honestly told the truth, and declared who
and what he was. This not gaining credit,
drum was sent for, and he was desired to
heat couple of marches, which he readily
performed, and thus removed the comman-
der's suspicion of his assuming fictitious
character. "But my lad," said he, let
me now hear you beat retreat" GA re-
treafr' replied the drummer. "there is no
such beat IN our service" ,,,.

DEPARTURE OF THE CoNvICTs.-Yester
day morning early, eleven male and female
convicts, who received their sentences the
present week and before, left the city pris-
on under charge of Capt. Knapp and Mr..
Deputy Keeper Stewart, for their tate pr-
son home at Sing Sing, there to drag out
miserable existence. Among the number
who thus went, was Smith Davis, convicted
Of forgery, in putting into circulation an
immense quantity of counterfeit money,
which business he has practised with great
success for the last twelve or fifteen years.
Davis was man of genteel appearance and
address, and pleasing prepossessing man
ncrs, and had an amiable wife and u fine fam
lily of six interesting childeen who had been
well taken care OF and educated, as far as
their tender minds were susceptible of Ii
terary instruction. This care and attention
he had been enabled to bestow, out of the
large profits accruing from his nefarious
trade.
On Tuesday afternoon the wife and chill
dren of Davis were admitted into his cell to
take final, perhaps an eternal farewell OF
their husband and father. The, scene was
one of the most painful and affecting that
can well be imagined. The wife and chill
dren ofthe convict hung upon his neck and
poured out their sighs and tears and groans
in his bosom, which mingled, perhaps for
the last time, with the burning drops of a
father and husband, which he shed. For
while the whole group were incapable Of
uttcrance-grief and overwhelming emo
ton checked the power of speech. After
time, when affection had fed itself with
conjugal and palernal endearments, and
grief had emptied Its fountains of tears, the
wife and children, with screams and convul-
sive sobs, departed, and left the convict to
his fate.
Yesterday morning early, one ofthe pri-
soner's children, impeled by affection for
its father, pressed its way into prison again,
and took another painful and atfectionate
adieu of its father. He wept until his face
and bosom were wet with tears, and finally
took the parting hand of the child, and with
his irons on followed his conductors to tho
boat which was to convey him and his COM
panions in crime to living death. Such
is the unhappy fate of the criminal.-He
suuders all the sweetest aud dearest lies Of
Lille for the glttering bauble gain, and con-
signs himself to an nignominious prison, Sc
cluded from wife, children, and friends, a
wretched outcast from the world. Let this
serve to teach others, who are now running
career of crime, to pause in their cruel
course, before it IS too late.-N Y. Sun.

How IS THIs!--The Hon. Mr.. Kemble,
ths Federal Van Buren Member of Congess
from Westchester county, owns the Cold
Spring Foundry, and has important and
valuable contracts with the Government, in
direct violation of law of Congress passed
April 81, 1908, from which The New York
Times publishes the following sections =
"From and after the passage of this act
no member Of Congress, shall directly and
indirectly, himself or by any other person
whatsoever, in trust for him, or for his use
or benefit, or on his account, undertake, ex-
ecute, hold or enjoy, IN the whole or in part,
any contract or agreement, hereafter to be
made or entered into ,oih any officer Of The
United States, in their behalf, or with any
authorized to make contracts on the part OF
the United States; and if any member Of
Congress shal! directly or indirectly, him
self or by any other person whatsoever in
trust for him, or for his use or benefit, or
on his account enter into, accept of, or
agree for, undertake or execute, any such
contract or agreement, in the whole or in
part, euery member so offending shall, for
every such offence, upon conviction there
OF, having cognizance of such offence, be
adjudged guilty ofa high misdemranor, and
shall be fined three thousand dollars; and
every such contract or agreement as afore-
said shall, moreover, be absolutely void, and
Of no effect"
This Jaw, 1t seems, has been openly and
grossly violated by the Hon. Mr.. Kembe.
The Government, I 10, has made contracts
with Member o Congress in the teeth of
the law! But laws are mere ropes Of sand
in the hands of our present rulers. They
"reward their friends" without regard 10
the Laws or the Constitution.-.Aibony

mained safely slowed away in the tree.
His young wife did not seem very uneasy
about his situation, and ever after, during
tie remainder of his life, when the subject
was alluded to, she would always laugh al
his gallant adventure.
II may not be nmiss to state in the sequel
of our story, that the fair bride, after getting
safely over the creek, pursued her way to
the house Of her husbands friend where she
partook other portion of the dinner which
had been prepared for Mr.. and Mrs. Malo-
ney. Here she made herself quite at home,
where she remained till her waterbound
husband came to visit er.-Picayune.
