Clerer Robbery By Fema'c.-A few weeks
since handsomely dressed fashionable looking
lady drove up in a private carriage to well
known p,ivate naiSon dc Sdnfe, or lunatlc aSy-
~ium. situated few miles from Paris, and re.
sduested to see the proprietor. Her wish was
sspeedily acceded to, and after the usual com.
pliments she informed Dr. that she had
been induced to call upon him under peculiar
u distressing circumstances, and then proceed.
ed to state that her husband, to whom she was
tenderly attached, labored under sort of ma
MIA that he had lost large quantity of jewels
How to account for this strange idea she knew
not; but, after taking the advice of their mutu.
al altriends, she had come to the determination of
placing him for few weeks under the care of
Dr., whose great talents would soon be the
means of curing him ofhis cruel malady. The
doctor at first hesitated, but moved by the fair
strangers earnest entreaties, he agreed to re-
,ceise her husband, and try what could be done
with him. Immediately Oh receiving the as
surauee, the lady drove off to the shop of the
firstieweller in Paris, and requested to see the
stock, as she wished TO purchase a large quan.
ltity to take abroad. In Il short time she select
ed several articles, amounting to some hundred
pounds in value, and after leaving her card and
n small deposit she said to the head of the firm,
"As you don't know me, perhaps you'll send
q responsible peison with me, whom my hus-
band will pay" This was agreed to, aud the
lady drove off, with q confidential clerk, to the
asylun, of Dr.. --. On arriving here, both
were shown into a room, which the lady in a
few minutes left, saying she wished to speak to
her husband. Sho saw the doctor, and she
thought that, for fear ofarousing his suspicious,
she would leave the house without seeing him.
This was agreed to by DR.. --. and the In
dy hastily drove Off The clerk, after waiting
some time, got excited, and rang the bell hurri.
edly, asking what had become of the lady with
the Jewels At the mention of the W ,rd Jewels,
the doctor immediately remembered what his
fair visitor had said of her husbands monona-
mia. and tried to soothe him. This strange con-
duct only made the poor clerk moro loud and
earnest in his questions, and also more strenu-
ously convinced the doctor that he was really
and truly mad. At last he became so violently
excited aboutthe loss of his masters jewels, that
the doctors attendants forced HIM into strait
Jacket. In this state of affairs remained tor
several days, till at last, in consequence of the
lady not appearing ut the doctors, nor the
clerk at his employers, suspicious were arous-
I'd, and the police being informed of all the
facts of the case, discovered that clever rob.
berry had been committed, and that both the
doctor and the jewelers. had, been duped by
this femme d'iadustrie. The modification of
ail concerned was. excessive, but notwithstand-
ing all the efforts Of the police, the lady is yet
non est.

Repty 10 an IaGdel.-An American travel
Ter, being Unexpectedly detained at the mole
or quarantine Of Odessa, was very cviy Of
fered half Of his apartments and a sofa to lie
Oh by young Engshman, who acted as 4
translator to the mole. After they had formed
an intimate acquaintance, and one evening had
retired to rest, the traveller asked his friend how
he could endure the blaspheny which was SO
constantly heard there. The young Engl lish-
man replied that, as agentleman, these things
were dsagreeable to him but as to their be-
ing intlinsically wrong, it was no matter of
concern to him, as he denied the truth OF all
revelation"
The traveller, without supposing the remark
would be needed except by courtesy, replied ::
" Either Christ was an imposter, or he was not.
IF he was an imposter, we have the incon-
ceivable phenomenon of base man practising
virtue, self:denial charity, forgiveness of inju-
res, through his wh"le life, in spite of scourging
,contunely, and even .cruciixion. Is it phiio-
sophical to suppose that bad man would take
SO much paius to make men good But it he
was not an inposter, then he has told the truth,
and we must believe him"
as it possible that have never seen that be.

glishman; but the argument sunk deep into his
leart, aud when the traveller had arrived at
Alexandria he received letter from the former
skeptic, acknow wledging hin, " as the best friend
he ever had," encouraging him to be equally
faithful to others, and praying him not to for.

A TERRIBLE ScENE.--A passenger who was
on board the Autocrat at the time OF the COLI
sion with the Magnolia, one hundred miles above
New Orleans, has given the Louisiana Courier
u brief description of the scene The collision
was at day break, weather clear, and the whole
wide Mississippi for u channel. all the deck
passengers, thirty in number. one engineer, and
three cabin passengers were lost. No names
given. There were eight ladies, all of whom
were saved. The Autocrat sunk in FIVE min-
utes in deep water
a Mr. Ferguson, we do not know his place
Of residence, but understand his father is
landlord OF the Gayora House, Memphis, snatch
ed his child from the arms Of his wife, and ran
to the iorecastle. leaving his wife, i'll the wild.
ness Of his alarm, in the ladies' cabin. He stood
by us Il moment, and made such appeals to
save himself and child, trust in God | never
may have occasion to hear again. We got him
somewhat calm and quiet, and for which he
stopped to thank us; but the next moment the
cry that 'ue are lost was heard, and indeed it
was cruelty true with them, for he attempted to
leap to the Magnolia, and fell with Lis childi Into
the pitiless element to rise no more His wife
was saved, and as she stood on the shattered
wreck watching with the widest eagerness for
the husband and child, she saw man struggling
in the water whom she supposed to be him.
BY maniac yells and distracted appeals she ill.,
duced attention to the drowning man, and by
power almost superhunan he was rescued, and
when he reached the boat the lady fell round
him with her arms, and thanked God for the
salvation of her husband. Poor, hapless, wi.
dowed woman! she awoke from sad aud cruel
dream, clinging with phrenzied tenacity to the
neck of him who was another's. You may
partially imagine surrounding scenes when the
gentleman thus saved remarked that he almost
wished indeed it had beeu'her protector instead
of HIMSELF
