The hunchback gladly accepted the

being equally pleased with each other.
From that time the little man seldom
missed representation at the Italian

friend of the harlequin, whom, when

A JUVENILE DErAuLrER.-The New
York correspondent of the Picayune
relates the following:
About three months since young
man named Pierre c. Talman found If
necessary to make a sudden exit from
the city to parts unknown. He had
been confidential clerk in the en-
ploy of large importing house of
New York, Messrs Cottinet & Co., who
allowed him the very liberal annual
income of S3O0! He disappeared about
the same time that it was discovered
that some $4,000 had ramosed, but not
one cent of it did he take with him.
One day last week he was traced to
some place in Ohio, and was there cap
tured, brought on to this city and lodged
in the Tombs. He was bailed out yester-
day in the srm Of $4,000.

seems that he became smfrten with
the idea of being literary; so he pos

for it or whether he ever paid for it, is
of no consequence. But it is quite
certain that he had recourse to his
employers cash 10 keep the concern

goods passed through the custom-house,
and they furnished him with checks
to pay the duties. By some piece Of
ingenuity and no little cunning he in
duced one of the deputy collectors to
give the finishing touch to the papers,
80 that he was enabled to obtain the
goods without paying Uncle Sam one
cent. This money he put into his poe
ket, paid it out in supporting his paper;
in buying theatre tickets for some of
his relatives, in speculations of every
kind, in expensive dinners oall kinds
Of people, and, it is now said, in loans
of every amount to people in and about
the custom-house. He seems to have
suffered under miserable vanity which
itched to put him on the best terms
with everybody, and which urged him
to seek the society of literary men,
artists and others. During part Of this,
time he kept fast horse, which he
rarely could find time to use, and yet
not one of his most intimate friends
ever dreamed of his dishonesty. He
spent all his evenings with his relatives,
either at the theatre or at the opera,
and early repaired home, where his
unhappy mother always waited his
coming for the reading offamily pray
ers. What his feelings must have
been, under the circumstances, while
kneeling by her side and extending
his hands towards his God, we shall
not attempt to describe.
This is the most remarkable case Of
we ever heard Of. 1t is

of it were flung away:

II is known that he had not the means
of taking himself out Of the city when
his wrong-doing was discovered. He
seems to have been good-hearted but
weak-headed young man.
A WILD GIRL IN CoNSEcrIcUr.-The
g Hartford Times' relates the following
affecting scene:
An Irish girl, apparently twenty years
of age and frantically insane, was taken
in the woods, about three miles west
Of this city, recently. She appeared
in the road, nearly naked, and waved
an old shawl before the horse Of a gentle-
man that was passing: she then fol-
lowed the wagon for some distance,
occasionally drinking water from the
gutter, which she scooped up with her
hand. The gentleman procured assist
ance at the first house and went after
her. She ran into the woods and made
light of leaping an ordinary fence
When taken she showed fight and it
required three men to master her. She
is represented as very beautiful in per-
son and features, and converses in seve-
raj foreign languages, as well as in the
purest English. She was taken to the
Town House, but will not tell where
she belongs. She says her name is
