FILIBUsTER-THE CAREER OF Fast
lOUSG MAN--AmOnS the disheartened fiji
busters, who were sent home in the Saratoga
by Com. Paulding, the name Of Edwin p Biies
stands conspicuous The owner of that name
Is Philadelphian, and his career has been 90
strange that we are tempted to give n sketch
embodying the principal incidents of it.
Mr. BIles Is the son Of a worthy carpenter
now residing in the Seventh ward. About four
years ago, he young man, then just verging on
twenty-One, was employed as a clerk in the
house of HOskins, Heiskell Co. of this city
He was entrusted with the most responsible
duties, and, for three years, was esteemed wor-
Thy OF all confidence. His salary was in the
neighbOrhOOd Of 81 300 per annum. He was.
however, addicted TO some amusements, re-
curing no slight expenditure. Among these
may be classed racing gaming, DC. HIs was
In fact, the personifcation of a - fast Young
man. but rs the accounts with the rm ap-
peared to be always correct and regular, no
complaint could be instituted.
Having served through the Mexican war, the
young man was very fond of the military, and
while acting as clerk was Lieut.. -Co'oneI in
one oil our city regiments. A parade of the
military was to have taken place about June
lat, 1891, and in expectation of this Mr. BiIes
orded n complete uniform from Mr.. Horstman
very valuable uniform it was too. Just about
the time that was completed, the firm by whom
BIles was employed discovered that there were
some slight errors in the books, and proceeded
to an investigation. Suddenly, our hero be-
came non est, and Dir. HOrstman mourned the
loss Of his uniform, while Hoskins, Heiskill 4
Co, found false entries in their books to the
amount Of about S25 900.
For some time the whereabouts of Mr.. BiIes
we're unknown, but at length he turned up
with Gen- Walker, where be held the rank Of
Lieutenant. At the time Of his arrest by Com
fauldlng he was acting az Adjutant, and was
in the height Of his glory. Shortly after his
arrival at Norfolk in the Saratoga. he was
seized, on process issued from the PhiladeI-
phia Police Office, by Detective Russell. and is
now IN company with that officer on the road

How The BAGGAGE MASTER SAVED HIS
fERQCfSIrES ON DOGs.-The Buffalo Express
tells u story of the shrewdness of a baggage
master on the Buffalo and Cleveland line Joe
> was baggage master ON this line, and, with
: others In that department, had been denied the
privilege Of perquisites from passengers for
taking charge Of any property except dogs AT
last row was made by somebody who had been
oyercharged for the transportation of a dog, and
this last perqusite was cut off. No dog could
be carried unless regularly billed, like any
other stock. Joe thought this quite too great
an infringement upon his rights 20 to revenge
himself he originated the following novel plan,
which proved successful beyond his most san
gulne expectations. lie induced a boy, for a
trining consideration, to procure "a number of
dogs, and day after day one of the animals was
sent from Cleveland with a way bill in the usual
form, representing that the dog was for some
party in Buffalo.
The dogs arrived safely, and were taken into
the baggage room and generally tied TO the
trunks. The animals accumulated rapidly as
no owners appeared to claim them, and the
baggage room contained about as many un-
claimed dogs as trunks, to be fed at the ex-
pense of the company. They were as scurri-
lous lot OF NANCY. broken down beasts, as
could be imagined, and became an intolerablt
nuisance, from their yelping and fighting. The
superintendent soon gave up beat and con-
cluded The dog business was not so prof bic
a. IL was supposed TO be and resembling hi:
dog bulletin, issued order to the effect tina,
dogs would not be carried at the expense ol
risk Of the company. Since thar time the bag
gsge-men have retained the prerogative of re-
pienishiDg their pockets with the money re-
-ceiyed for the transportation of dogs. "a

PROFLIGACY AND SCANDAL or THE SPANISH
CoURr.-A member of the CamariIla having

vertiscr) with some revelations from the Palace
L feel no delicacy in extending the confidence
10 your readers, a. they may obtain thereby
some further knowledge of the Paiaciegas mo-
rallty, promising that you may place implicit
reliance on their authenticity Know, then,
that when the pains Of labor were approach
ing, the pangs of remorse rushed in upon the
Queen, and reproacbed her with her dissolutc
career. She sent for Archbishop Claret, n pre-
late who well deserves the glorious name he
bears. The Queen begged his counsel, and as
he is no courtier. be told her Majesty that her
conduct made her the subject Of ribald tests.
and as she was about to be exposed to the
perils attendant upon childbirth, he cxhorted
her To Danish her paramOur, PUG Moro from
the Palace, and country. The increasing
pangs OF the crisis added force to the archepis-
cOpal persuasions, and a promise was made,
but the archbishop, not content with the royal
word, extorted written promise to that effect
He followed up his success by an exhortation
to his royal auditor to be reconciled to her
husband, and even if she felt unable to love
him, he urged her to have more respect for the
propricties of life, and to appear constantly
with him before her subjects. Having obtained
promise to that effect he repaired to the
kings apartments, and gave him like counsel
ihe hihS piomise WAS, however, cohultlonal
only he would consent to be recOnciled to his
wife only on condition that she paid his debts,
and that the banishment Of the Queens para
mOur should be instantaneous. The arch
bishop returned with cheque for the payment
OF the kings debts, and the other promise ;
but although the Queen has the power to ban
ish her paramour from the palace, and had
Naryaez and Nocedal been in power, she could
have shipped him off to the Oanaries or Phil
Iippines, or wherever she chose; yet PUG Moro
refuses to be exiled, demands public trial,
and to know on what charge he is arraiyned.
A compromise has been effected, to avoid the
public scandal which insistance on exile must
occasion and Colonel Puig Moro struts about
amongst hs fellOw-citizens, who have yet
enough OF the leaven Of royalty in them to
look with feelings Of something akin to defer.
ence and respect on one who sustained such in
innate relations with their Queen.
