NOT so SMART AS HE THOUGHT HE wAS.-The
New York Tribune says: About a week or
more ago, well-dressed man, named Fredcr-
rex Leonard, entered the Detective Office in
hTeathleSs haste, and. stating that he had been
robbed OF 81 100, asked that all hands might be
sent out in quest Of the thief He said that
while at circus in WilliamSburgh, his fob
pocket had been cut with a sharp instrument.
and the money, which was in bills of large de-
nominations, taken therefrom. Capt WalIinp
examined the pocket from which the money
was alleged to have been extracted, and found
that the cut in the fob pocket was much larger
than IN the pantaloons. This fact created sus-
plclOn, and Mr. Leonard was closely questioned
bat nothing further was elected His anxiety
TO have the police set out in search of the thief
seemed to abate, and he soon exhibited desire
to leave the Office, which he was permitted to
do.
Son Saturday morning last, Mr.. Morton, of
the same city, called upon the detectives and
said he had noticed an item in the daiIy papers
relative to Leonard, whom he had intrusted
with horse valued at 81 900 to dispose of, and
t,he suspected that something was wrong OFF,
GERS were sent out to look for Leonard, bat he
was non est, and ii was ascertained that he
started for Boston yesterday morning. tele-
. graphic dispatch Of the fact was sent to Boston,
and last evening an answer was returned
; stating that Leonard was apprehended as he
LETT the cars, and that, upon examination near
Iy all the money realized from the sale of Mr.
MortOns horse was found i'm his stocking.
Leonard admitted appropriating the money.
and said that he made the cut in his clothes in
order that his story of the robbery might be
believed"

A HISr TO rHH LADIEs.-It is very rarely
indeed, that n confirmed fiirt gets married
Ninety nine out Of every hundred old maids
may attribute their ancient loneliness to juve-
nile levity. Ii isv very certain that few men
make selection from bathrooms or any other
place OF gaiety; and as few are influenced by
what may be called showing of in the streets,
or other allurements Of dress. our opinion is,
ninety-nine hundredths Of all the inery which
woman decorate and load their person with go
Tor nothing. 50 far as husband catching is con-
cerned. Where and how then do men find their
wives In the quiet homes Of their parents
and guardians, at the hreside, where domestic
gra;es and feelings are alone demonstrated
These are the charms which most surely al
tract the high as we'll as humble. Against these
all the 6nery and airs in the world sink into
in.ignifieance ce-Erceksior.

The IDEAL WOMAN-The true woman. for
whose ambition ashusband's love and her chill
dren's alteration are sufficient, who applies her
military instincts to the discipline of her house
mold and whose legisiatiyes exercise themselves
in making laws for her nurse; whose intellect
has held enough for her communion with her
husband, and whose heart asks no other honors
than his love and admiration: a woman who does
not think 1T weakness to attend to her toilet.
and who does not distain to be beautiful: who
. believes IN the virtue Of glossy hair and WE'LL
lifting gowns. and who eschews rents and raw
eied edges, slipshOp shoes and audacious
makeups; woman who speaks low and does
not speak much; who is patient and gentle.
and intellectual and industrious; who loves
more than she reasons, and yet does not love
bhndly; who never seOlds and never argues,
nut adjusts with smile; such a woman is the
wife we have all dreamed Of once in our lives,
and ls the mother we still worship in the back k
ward distance of the past.-Charles Dickens.

\ SCHOLARS OPINION OF THE WoRLD:-The
Hon; A. b. Longstreet, the President Of the
South Carolina College at Columbia, gave to
the graduating class Of that institution a not
very cheering prospect of the world in which
they were about TO enter, when in his farewell
address, he thus addressed them:
You are embsrking upon a strange world,
my young friends. 1t banished Aristides, pois-
oned Socrates, murdered Cicero, and crucifed
the Lord fGlOry The spirit of Themistocles,
ci Meiltus, OF Anthony and Caiphas, is still in
the world-grealy subdued and law-bound. TO
be sure, but not extinguished. You may ex-
pect, therefore, at times, to be depressed by
your rivals, condemned for your patriotism.
and tormented for your benefactions: to have
your confidence abused, your integrity derided,
and to suffer thousand impOsitions in smaller
matters-frOm those from whom you had right
TO expect better things"

II The \. York correspondent Of the Baltimore
American, speaking Of the sanitary convention to

fear that through inadvertance the hospitalitiss
which have been extended to the members of the
convention at Philadelphia and Baltimore, at the
previous meetings. are to be but lily requted here
as the members of our medical profession here
have not as yet taken the initiation Of welcoming
their brethren" Perhaps the refined Gothamite.

and boarding houses, Of having their private
dwellings overrun with an unknown and possibly
an unwashed and unkempt multitude of strangers

The people of the City of Churches are as

oils. Once they wanted to be annexed to us {:
now they talk of annexing New York to Brook

we are glad that they have got plenty of water,

externally; and remember that the chief Jewel
