"Apropos of beggars-the system Of ingenious
beggary, SO curiously described in Grants g Great
Metropolis is beginning 10 be tried on in n. York
There is one young Indy <of very correct habits,
believe, in point Of fact) who makes living by
means that wear somewhat questionable CON-
plexion out of distinguished strangers"
member Of Congress, or a diplomatisi in transit,
for example, receives note, the day after his arrl
val is advertised, in handwriting OF singular
beauty. In the most graceful language, and with
the daintest Of French phrases be is informed
tina, a young lady who has long watched his career
with the deepest interest--who has feeling for
him which is mystery TO herself--who met him
accidentally in place she will recall to his memo.
! ry should she be so fortunate as TO see him again
who is unhappy creature of impulse, all toe
1 fondly tender for this harsh world and lis con-
structons--would like to see him on a certain
sidewalk between eight aud nine. By holding
his hand across his left breast, he will be accosted
at that time and place The lady.likeness and
good taste OF the note, different from the usual
,entatves of that description, breed second
thought Of curiosity, and tie victim is punctual.
| After a turn or two on the appointed sidewalk,
be encounters tall young lady, deeply-veed,
who addresses him by nasae, takes his arm, and
discourses TO him at first upon his own ambitious
history, contrving to say the true and fattering
thing for which size has duly informed herself
She skilfully eyades his attempts to make her
talk of things more particular, and regretting
feelingly that she can only see him on tie side
walk, appeals to his, So well known generosity"
for ten dollars TO keep her and her dear mother
from being turned out Of doors ! She takes it
with tremulous pathos demands Of bis lonor that
be will not follow her, and slips round the cor.
ner TO meet another distinguished stranger ="

teen minutes later in the next street! was in
= company of s,rangcrn at hotel not long ago,
= when one of these dainty notes produced,
S and It SO happened that every man present had
g one in his pocket from the same hand. Among
. the party there were four appointments proposed
by tie same lady to come off on the four sides Of
Il certain square, for that evening! She is pro-
e badly doing good business.
= Within few days past we have seen
}, recorded in the public prints two cases
5 Of arrest OF fugityes from justice, which
d have lately taken place in Canada under
. the provisions OF the Ashburton Treaty
o The first is that of Denniston Rogers, who
!. murdered his wife about eighteen month:

ia security up to he time Of his being arres
n. ted on an application from this Govern
,e ment. He is now safely lodged in Jail a
p. Cooperstown, New York to await his trial
Sc The other case is that of Daniel Quica
ID who, on a like requisition from our Gov
Il eminent, was arrested in the Niagara dis
!. trict Of Canada on the 10Th inst. and sur
~ rendered by Gov. Metcalie TO The authori

Is murdered q man at the town of Milford
e in Pike county, Pennsy lyania, and had re

K vious TO his arrest. The New York Cou
rler and Enquirer justly remarks, in con
e ncxion with this subject, that if there wer
h no other value in the Ashburton treaty

people Of the L. States and Great Britain
THE WAGES OF FACTORY GIRLS.
The Cincinnati Atlas, speaking Of fac.
tory in that city for the manufacture OF

ven thirty cuts, equal TO 1880 yards, from
Monday morning, for which she was paid
,, twenty cents per cut, being six dollars for
