John A. Washington's Life at
l0nmf Xern0m.

The eminent F. F. " and patriot, John
A. Washington, will have consultations in
leaving his home at Mount Vernon, besides
that of pocketing a quarter of a million of
dollars for himself and heirs. If this pic
ture, by correspondent of the New York
ETpress of the way he was bothered and
bored by visitors, be correct, life there has
certainly been trying to a gentleman of his
refined tastes and sensitive disposition. No
wonder that his generosity failed before such
constant hordes:
A home here has been no sinecure either
for Mr.. Washington or the ladies of his
household. There are hardly less than from
fifty to a hundred visitors daily. Some
come hungry, thirsty, and drunk, making
their pilgrimage mere frolic and dissipa-
ton. They roam over the plantation like
beasts of prey, rather than as decent, well
conducted people. Not long ago, some of
these persons, wearing the soldiers uniform,
even went so far as to endeavor to steal the
very dinner from the family on its way
from the kitchen, in a huilding adjoining
the dining-room, and it became necessary to
put it under guard. Others go into the
kitchen like so many hungry dogs, and lay
violent hands upon everything they see and
fancy. ! am sorry to hear and believe all
this, even as an excuse for the unpleasant
exclusion from what might otherwise be
be a general welcome TO the public at large.
The innocent, however, have to suffer for
the guilty, and a good many go away curs-
ing the owner and occupant for shutting his
doors in the faces of all visitors, because
some of them would pick his pockets by
day, and steal the bed from under him Mt
night, if there was free ingress to all. But
who can discriminate in such crowds, and
who of us would be amiable, kind, end
courteous, with such provocation to be 9TH

The Forger, Alexander Norton,
Caught.

Alexander Norton, an adroit forger, who,
in January last, swindled Mr.. w. f. Snoddy
of Louisville, cut of several thousand dol
lars, by meaas Of forged drafts, has Just been
arrested at Chicago. - - 80 1-''
The manner of the sgindle was as fol-
Norton made the scquaFakance Of Mr..
Snoddy while travelling on a steasaboat. He
afterwards went to Louisville, sought out
Mr.. Snoddy, and passed off on him three
forgedchecks for $1,000, 81, 500 and $3.50
ON Rockford, Brown 4 Co., of New Orleans
certified by the Citizens Bank of New Or
leans. He purchased of Mr.. s. an iatecest
in 1000 barrels of pork for a bonus OF
$1,000, anegro boy and two Hardin county
bonds of $1,000 each, to the amount in all
Of So, $50, and receiving the cash only on
the two small checks for 81, 500, he paid for
| his purchases with the check for $4,000,
and refusing money for the balance, request.
ed and received a due bill for Sc, 500. He
did not take the negro with him. 1t has
since turned out that he called on Messrs
Dumesneil 4 Co., who were the agents for
the R.,J. Ward, which boat was in port, and
engaged a passage on her for New Orleans.
Being short of funds, owing to his extensive
transactions with Mr.. 'Snoddy,7 he gave
Messrs. d. & Co. sight draft on New York,
which they cashed. 1t was ascertained that
he did not take passage on the Ward, and
the draft turned out to be worthless. De-
tectives were dispatched after him but with
out success. He was heard of in Texas, in
New York, and other parts of the couptry
where he had practised similar rascalities
Yet as he had stiff arm and very peculiaz
| lip, hopes were entertained that ne would
be taken sooner or later, and they have been
realized 's1Tsf ..sibnga - ds79y '1sg;t

Forty five of the chattels of the "peculiar in
sttution" passed down Locust street yesterday
morning, on their way to the "sunny South"
They were motley group, composed of men
women and children, whose ages ranged, appa-
rently, from five to forty years The procession
was composed offathers and mothers with their
little children by the hand, young girls and
men, arm in arm. On the one hand the sight
was suggestive of the "good time coming" for
Missouri, but on the other hand awakened the
liveliest sympathy for the condition ofthis gang
of miserable beings. Nearly every Sabbath
morning witnessed the exodus of these parties
from urshores ST. Louis Democrct l7h.
If we read Of similar scenes frequently oc-
curing in prolessed Christian lands abroad we
should he likely to exclaim "heath ,ns" and
invoke the aid of missionaries in that direction
But as "the Greeks are at our own DOORS" we
"pass by on the other sile"
A friend who recently passed down the Mis-
sissippi on st. Louis boat, writes that gang
Of about thirty chattels were on board They
were ironed while the boat stopped at Cairo,
and though closely watched by their owner,
when some distance below that port, stalwart
fellow bid his comrades in slavery "good bye"
