haps one Of the most extraordinary ipstan-
ces in the records OF crime in this country.
that an individual should have succeeded IN
battling justice for SO long period as the
young man who has recently been arrested
in Philadelphia.--D DR.. Eldredge was of n
slight person, and rather an agreeable adj
dress, much more so than would have been
expected Of graduate OF the penitentiary.
Ii is now stated that as early as 1884 he es-
capped, or was released from "durance vile,"
and became student with DR.. Mott OF this
city. Accompanying the Doctor TO Europe,
he there made some new acquaintance
which on his return facilitated his introduce
ton 10 q circle Of society highly respecta-
bic.
II is now confidently believed that be
was guilty Of other eccentricities in Paris
besides robbing DIR. Mott of 5000 francs.
Our readers will remember perhaps two
or three remarkable hoaxes that were play
ed off on distinguished American lady
resident at Paris and the circle Of her yis-
ters. Mrs. Wind issued cards for n
large pary.--Somebody obtained posses
sion of Der visiting list, and sent round
apologies" just before the night appointed
IN consequence OF u sudden death in the
family. The lady OF the house was sur.
prised OF course to find that she had her
lighted and garlanded chambers all to her
self--and that in hall and banquet room she
was still SOLITARY and aone" A few
weeks afterwards his agent OF mischief cir
eulated invitations 10 the same parties, who
created Of course as much surprise by their
unexpected arrival, as previously by their
unacouutable absence. A variety Of SINH
lar exploits were achieved at about the
same time, among the American residents
nj Paris, and they are now attributed and
we understand on sufficient grounds, 10 Dr.
Eldredge. 1t would have been well il he
had confined The exercises Of his talents 10
this kind Of agreeable surprises"
We learn from the American that during
his late residence in this city and Philadel

an Infamous print here published, and has
communicated many Of Fashionable" parties

TO THE BALD HEADED AND OTHERS.

Does any know a neighbor or friend who
has been Bald, and whose head is now covered
with fine hair; One whose coat collar
was covered with dandruf, though brushed
every hour-which has now vanished entirely ?
Or one whose hairs at early age were turning
grey, who now has moi a grey hari Children
whose heads were covered with scurf, Whose
hair would not grow, that are now growing
the fullest crops of hair' Some cases must
be known 10 most persons. Ask them the
cause, aud you will be told, these things have
been done by the use of the BALM OF COL
uMBlA. OF 30 years growth is this article,
its demand increasing annually some hundred
per cent.-though when discovered not oppos-
ed By any thing for the same purpose, now
assailed by almost numberess mushroom trash
preparations that will ruin the hair il used To
any extent. Can more than these facls be
wanteJ-reler 10 the recommendations BY a
list OF names of responsibility, unequalled by
any other article. Look TO these things-buv
this article. Stay and preserve your hair by
its use, or if bald restore il. Ladies, attend To
this-hundreds in fashionable life are using il
as the only article really fl for the toiiet. Long
hair is very apt TO fall out. Ladies, use the
Balm Of Columbia in time TO save yourselves
the disgrace oil badness by neglect ofyour per-
sons.
! u is your duty as moralists, 10 preserve the
! heauties of nature, with which a hountiful
/ Creator has endowed you--use the Balm, for
| il will do it,,

RoBBERY.--A fellow calling himself
Lewis Fairwell, apparently about nineteen
or twenty years ofage, lately made his ap-
pearance among US, and hired himself for q
couple of years, as an apprenticeto Mr.. B..
Mclaughlin, tailor. He had not however,
been long in his new employ before he alb
seconded, taking with him his employers
watch, cloak, 'horse, saddle, and bride.
The watch and horse have since been heard
of, the thief having sold them in the nor
thern part of the state of Illinois. We
learn further, that after disposing of the
horse, he succeeded in procuring another
horse in the neighborhood, under pretence
of returning to Southport, with which al
so he absconded.
