r. The n. y. Tribune publishes an ar,i-
Gle on pickpockets. 1t says it is not an I'M
usual thing for an expert to start from New
York with scarcely any funds, travel directly
through to New Orleans or some of the weS-
tern cities, and Immediately return with suf-
ac:ent money to enable him to live in idle
ness for several months. These are particu-
arly afraid of the detectives, and will seldom
attempt job when they know them to be
near 1t frequently occurs that at places of
amusement a thief will present himself to
detective who may be there, and beg to be
allowed to 90 inside. lie promises faithfully
not to work" the audience, and if the detec-
I've wishes, he will wait till all the people are
out of the building before taking his depart
Ute. If the officer grants him permission.
the thief pays his money, goes inside and
STATS himself in an obscure corner, from
whence he watches the performance with
pleasure. He always keeps his promise, for
lie knows that if any one of the audience is
robbed, the detectives will be sure to arrest
him immediately.
O. Mr.. Elias Howe, Jr, is said to be
pressing the Patent Office for renewal of
his patent for the needle and shuttle combi-
nation on the sewing machine. AS his clear
profits from that invention, without a renew
al OF his patent, (says the New York Tribune)
can hardly fall below half million dollars,
aud renewal would take at least half mil
lion more out of the poor needle-women of
our country to add to his pile, We trust his
PRAYER will be denied.
WI.M Singer of New York, the well
known sewing machine man, has been put
under bonds for six months to keep the peace
toward his own wife, who alleges such cruel
ties on his part that she dare not live with
him.
A MYSTERIOUS Box. The treasurer of
Amherst College has lately received from Dr.
Daniel Sears of Boston, heretofore liberal
benetactor of the College, small and care
fully sealed box, with the instruction that i,
is not to be opened for one hundred years, on
pain of a forfeiture Of the gift which it con.
tains. Speculation is at fault as to the con.
tents and the reasons for the accompanying
condition. The shrewdest guess is that the
box holds deeds of real estate in Boston, nov
under lease for 100 years, but then to bt
transferred to the college.
