as that of the famed Robinson Crusoe,
In tIe interior was large quantity OF
dried leaves, which served the PURPOSE
of bed there was no article of furniture
in or about the place, but the entrance
was protected by q curtain, which was
also formed Of dried leaves. At the time
the lonely occupant was arrested be was
upon the point Of retiring to bed, having
divested himself Of his bat, boots and
coat. He did net seem to be very much
pleased with tie prospect of being taken
away from his home, but as he is Ger
man and could not speak English, the
officer did not attempt to explain the
cause of his intrusion. Who he is, no
one knows !; but that he is intelligent and
well educated is believed by those whom
he has visited during his residence there,
for the purpose Of begging food andcloth-
ing. He is quiet man, and the cause
of his arrest was only to make him more
comfortable. He has been sent to the
aims house. -.- "a

To THOSE WHO DRINK.-A large wine
dealer in London, recently, on his death
bed, being in great distress Of mind,
acknowledged to his friends that his agony
was occasioned by the nature of the
business he had followed for years. He
stated that it had been his habit to pur-
chase all the sour wines he could, and by
making use Of sugar of lead, and other
deleterious substances, restore the wine
to palatable taste. He said he did not
doubt he had been the means of destroy
ing hundreds of lives, as he had from
time to time noticed the injurious effects
of his mixtures on those who drank them.
He had seen instances of this kind where
the unconscious victims of his cupidity,
after wasting and declining for years,
despite of best medical adyices, went to
their graves, poisoned by the adultcrated
wines he had sold them. This man died
rich, but alas, what legacy did he leave
for his children.

ARREST OF A JUVENILE EXPERT AT
PICKING POCKETS-A BOLD AFFAIR
Yesterday afternoon, boy about twelve
years Of age, named William Riley. was
detected in picking the pocket of Mrs.
Sarah Greenleaf, residing at No. 4 Astor
place, under the following circumstances:
Mrs. GreenleaG according to her own
statement, had that morning left the
house on shopping expedition, carrying
with her porte monnaie containing SIG.
Out OF this amount she had paid at diff
ferent stores upwards Of $50, the b,lance
remaining in the book, which she carried
in her pocket. When near Read street
in Broadway, she felt some one push
against her, and on looking around, she
beheld the boy above named, and from
his peculiar action Mrs. Greenleaf sus-
pected he had taken her porte monnaie,
and Immediately placed her hand on her
pocket and ascertained the book was
gone; the boy was gone, having lodged
across Broadway, between the stages, to
facilitate his escape and elude pursuit
Mrs. Greenleaf, however, was not so
easily deceived she at once instituted
a.. alarm, by calling out stop thief"
and it is said in her eagerness to catch
the young rogue, she exclaimed Muir
der - the alarm at once attracted the
of the numerous citizens always
in that locality, and seeing the boy on the
run, naturally supposed him to lie the
object of complaint, and therefore Joined
in the alarm.
Officer McCawley, of the Sixth ward
police, being near at hand, pursued the
boy and caught him at the corner of
Chambers street and Broadway, Just bv
Stuart's store. The boy when arrested
instantly threw the portmannaie from
his hand, and as it fell on the pavement
it burst open, and sorne of the silver
coin was distributed on the side walk,
and the young rogue together with the
money, was thenconducted to the Tombs
before Justice Bogart, where Mrs. Green
leaf made the necessary affidavit, ard the
boy, who was recognized by the police
to be an expert at such depredaions
was committed to prison for trial On
counting the money in the book, it was
found to be twenty-five dollars less the
proper amount, which sum is supposed
to have fallen out at the time the boy
threw it on the sidewalk when arrested.
