An ACCOMPLISHED SwIEDLER.-The Richmond
Wing says that the fraudulent transactions Of Gish
the forger, are known to amount to over 100000
Such was the insinuating character Of the scamp,
and his success in gaining the confidence Of the
people that the meR who for six months we're aware
Of lis transactions, their own names having been
forged, RETAINED from exposing him on account of
personal feelings and deliOacy. They even suffered
themselves TO be sued and judgments obtained upon
forged paper. The shrewdest did not escape his
wiles, aud quite 8 number of persons have been ru-
ined by their confidence in him.

late to religious revivals.

B6- We have already given some account of a
great sWindling concern in New York city, profess
ing to deal in coffee. The Mayor of New York has
broken up the concern as will be seen by the follow
ing notice, from the EUsamg Post of the Sd.
A SwINDLTyG CoFFEE COMPANY-ANoTHER SEIZURE
OF LETTERS BY THE MAYOE.-The Mayors police
have recently detected extensive sWindling opera
ton conducted by some one whose name is yet IN
discovered, under the false style and firm Of Olphant
Bartlett Co. The method of this sWinder has
been to send circulars TO country merchants inviting
themto become agents for the "West India Company
for the sale Of coffee holding out the most auering
hopes OF making large profits, and requiring remit
tances in advance for the first of coffee
1t is said that since the first Of these circulars were
SENT the amount received has been for the PAST week
two about 81 900 per day, and that the sWindler
mas probably received in all about $40, OOO He had
an Office at POS Broadway, where one clerk, manned
Phiips) was employed. This clerk, when arrested
at the post office, had in his possession about 60
letters that he had just taken from the letter box,
many Of them being registered letters, and all
doubtless containing, money. These were handed
over to the Mayor, who has them now in charge
The principal had not been arrested yesterday.

THE RELIGIOUS INTEREST.

1t affords US sincere qualification, as public jour
nalists to be able to say, that the religious interest
which pervades the country is felt to happy extent
in our own city. Meetings for prayer are held, we
believe, daily in all the churches, and the number
Of hopeful conversions is already large. The revi
val was first felt, we are informed, in the Female
Academy, under the chare of Rev. Mr.. ELLIOTT, and
large number of the pupils of that admirable in.
stitutiOn have PrOfessed religion. Although it is
not province to comment on these matters yet nc
items of news are Of more consequence to cur rea,
ders of more interest to US, than those which re-
late to religious revivals.

OF what an interesting sight was the cx-
clamation which sprung musically from the
Inns of many ladies who tbrongcd the gran
avenue on Monday, as the procession OF ju-
veniles passed along, their young heads almost
bewitched at the display, and their little hearts,
thrilled with the music OF the bands, nearly
bursting with joy, as their glistening eyes saw
approving smiles in every direction.
Where in this world, but in the midst Of
nation whose morals are christian, and whose
laws are based on the wisdom Of the Bible,
could such turn out he seenY The expanded
mind impulsvely responds, nowhere"
And yet such displays are attacked daily,
leading oftcntimes the ignorant into deer-scatcd
prejudice, the polite motive, or the idiotic i'm.
pulse, being unseen. II is true, some bad con.
sequences may proceed from them, in isolated
cases, for the want Of rigid and more enlightened
management generally and in detail, which
more readily appears to the Psychologist, tic
nurse, and the physician. But, that they should
be abolished is an opinion scarcely WORTHY Of
serious thought.
tits said they nurse pride and love Of gau ly
display Granted; but no further than TO cu'-
tivate proper taste, and love of ordera Il field
music, saying nothing Of the freedom from
home and in-school restraint and application,
which must be looked to as a part Of their
training. Other objections are so easily an
swered as to give no alarm.

MIR. Herberrs Domestic DiHculties.

In speaking Of the late Henry William Her
Newark Advertiser says:
1.-THE incidents more Immediately affecting
his mind commenced with his second marriage
which occurred at the House of Prayer, in this
city, on the 10th of February last, the Rector,
Rev. Mr.. Shackleford, performing the cere-
nony. The bride was Miss Adela r. Budlong,
u young lady from Rhode Island, with whom
Mr. Herbert had formed sudden and roman
tic attachment, during visit she was making
in New York. 1t appears from his own state
rncnt to the writer Of this, about the time of
the occurrence, that he rescued her from the
assault e some ruffian in one of the New York
avenues, and accompanied her to her hotel
A correspondence followed, and resulted in the
we'd ing, which was comparatively private,
on y four gentlemen Of this city being present
| by invitation, with two from New York, in ad.
dition to the brides mother and brother They
came from New York in the two p. m. train,
which was delayed by an accident for about
an hour on the way, and il was late in the af.
ternoon when the ceremony was performed.
1.-THE parties proce, ded Immediately to Mr..
lIerberts cottage at "tho Cedars," about two
miles above the centre Of this city on the Pas
sale river, and for a time they were perfectly
happy in each others society. Some six weeks
after this ceremony the reptile spirit of calumny
crawlcd into his quiet home 1t is alleged
that some one, represented to be lady, took
occasion, probably without any idea Of the
tragic result, and poured into his wife's mind
recital Of the worst features of his life in the
usual exaggerated gossip, and on bis return he
found her alone and melancholy She told him
what had passed, but refused to reveal the
person this fired Herbert's inHammable tenn
permanent and in the heat Of his impetuosity he
threatened to destroy himself If she did not re-
val the name. She in turn became frant.
cally alarmed, and ruptured small blood YES
sci, or produced hcmorrhage OF the lungs
This in turn alarmed Herbert who did all he
could to restore her health and relieve her
mind, but from that moment she determined 10
cave him, and did so during his absence in New
York.
According to his representations he passed
out Of his back gate, which leads into the Gem
ctery, and she accompanied him to the fence,
bidding him an affectonate adieu, with kiss.
On his return she bad gone, and the full gush
Of dcsoation and despair unbalanced bis sen
sitive mind. He strove in vain TO bring her
back, and thinking to promote the object, he left
his cottage, which he thought might have been
too lonely for her, and took apartments at the
Stevens House, New York, Gate Delmonico's, }
near the Bowling Green. Here he used every
effort Of his ingenuity to recover his wife, but
she steadily refused to meet him, and finally
instructed her attorney to inform him that she
would receive no further communications from
him. This last drop overfowed the cup of his
tt ness; the future seemed all hopeless, and
Re en- medtated his own destruction"

IVY AsIIINGToN, May IL, 1908.
GAS the first Monday in juno approaches,
excitement begins 10 increase in relation to the
next Mayoralty There are three candidates
in the field--Purdy, Berrct, (the late postmast-
or, and Wallach. 1t is expected that Purdy
viii withdraw, as he has no possible chance,
and leave the contest to the other two. Berrtt
is the Democratic nominee in convention, and
Wallach is an independent or Union candidate,
brought out by the people without conven-
ton. The fact is that the people here are get
ting tired Of the very name Of Berrct. II is
Berret here, Berrctt there, and Berret every
where. II is said there were no less than seren
of them in the Post Office when the pr, sent can
didatc was postmaster, besides these in Office IN
Baltimore The whole family have for 50 many
years fattened at the public crib, that they
seem TO think now that they have a right to
oft either from the President or the people,
and they assume the port and bening Of aristo-
cratic dictators, as if their viii or wish was to
be law. On other hand, Wallachhas always
been with the people and Of the people; ard
years ago, before it was ever thought to make
him candidate, he was styled tho friend ol
the poor; and now he is brought out by men
Of all parties, the candidate Of the pcople--tht

at is hoped that before the election, Con.
gress will pass some police act which will avoid
the necessity of calling out the United States

The ordinary proportion of breaches of the
peace, Of violence, and of murder at other
times. But never before, in the history Of
Washington, has it been found that Congress
has been moved and excited with reference to
their own personal security in passing along
the avenue, as has been the case under the ex-
isting administration ofthe city government
And, sir, l say that it is not the party that
happens to be uppermost, or may not be the
party that happens to be uppermost at this
moment, but it is the radically and inherently
vicious system of elections that is at the bot
tom of it. The authorities of the city of Wash
ington are utterly inefficient; they are utterly
corrupt; they are utterly unfit for the posi-
tons that they hold and they are SO because
the real citizens Of Washington do not elect
them. They are elected by persons as alien to
Washington as those who elected the Presi-
dent were alien to American feelings and into.
rests.
Why Sir, when we strike off what is desig-
mated as the temporary Government vote the
city, and remember that the vote of the city of
Washington is only about six thousand, and
that the existing Mayor was only elected by
about twenty.six majority, we find that nearly
two-tbirds of the whole substantial population
was against the man who now holds the posi-
ton of Mayor. He. holds the Office by the will
of those who hold their bread at the will Of the
Administration; and how that will is exercised
no one in the least acquainted with the affairs
of the city can be ignorant For the first time
in the history of the Government, the working
men who earn their livelihood by the sweat of
their brow, are denied work on the public
buildings if they venture to vote in mere mu-
nicipal election against the Government candi-
date. The present Mayor represents the United
States Administration, and not the will of the
people-the real industrial and laboring and
business men of Washington.
