SHREWD TRICK OF A LONDON FEMALE THIEF.
The London thieves are quite rs sharp, but
rarely as successful as their brethren in this
country. One morning recently, a woman
who called herself Clara Jones, went to a linen
draper's shop, in the English city, and chose
quantity of silk, lace, and velvet, desiring
10 have the parcel and bill sent to her ad :
dress. One of the salesmen took the goods to
the place assigned, and was received by Clara
IN the drawing-room. She came out of a bed
room adjoining. and said that the lady who de-
sired the wares, being temporarily an invalid.
and confined to her bed in the next room,
wished to have the lace carried in for her in
spectlon: The salesman hesitated a moment,
but finally gave up the articles, and the woman
retired. When she had gone in he heard a
voice in the bedroom say, in the pIaintive
tones supposed to be peculiar to feminine inya-
lids, II must see the silks So Clara return, 4
to the drawing room, and succeeded in carry
ing in the silks. The young man again heard
two voices in consultation and also saw through
the partly open door what appeared to be
the figure of a woman bolstered up in the
bed This lulled his suspicious, and when
the we'll woman came out the third time to
take in the velYets, he with conparatiye
cheerfulness. allowed them to go ont of his
keeping. Then the door was shut Then the
young man waited, and hoped, and became
very tired. Then he called in the landlady.
The landlady knew nothing about Miss Clara
Jones or her mistress; the former had but tina,

vaded the privacy of the invalid's room, and
found no invalid, only clumsiIy- made dunn

had gone. The latter had played a double

Yenag and Beautiful Heiress, worth Hall

A day or two since beautiful and accom-.
pllshed lady, one of the reigning bellies OF
Louisville, Kentucky, and a member of the
5san monde, appeared here at the Spencer
House with middle aged gentleman of Ger

He was very good natured and amiable

But so it was. He had been her music

completely his. Her romance which ordinarily
would have elected him as her lover. trans

If he was poor, so much the better, for she

Interesting from JaPsn-The Late Trsuble,
In that Country,

A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Kanagawa, Japan, April 2, gives
the particulars of the recent attempt upon the
life of Prince Gotiano, the regent who admin
Of Is, arrives Of age. The regent was beset
by armed party, assaulted and seriously
wounded, though it is not certain that he died
The deed is brought home to Prince MitO,
whose soldiers the assailants were. Mito is
one Of the three titular brothers Of the En-
peror, from whose families the royal success
sion is maintained by selection. On the death
of the late Emperor a year and a half since,
Mito was aspirant to the throne. A young
Prince Of the house of Kinsin, however, was
the chosen one Of the Daimios. Nor was Mito
81 much as honored with the post Of Regent
during the young Emperor's minority. Such
was MitO's attitude toward the government
thus formed, that year since, Mito was forced
TO resign his honors and pretensions to the
crown in favor of his son. Since that time he
has been the unceasing enemy of the present
Government, and what is especially unfortu-
nate, he has been the powerful opponent of
ths new foreign relations of the Empire. just
year previous to this last attack, on the same
day of the year-one Of the great annual holi-
dAys-the Regents nOrimon was fred into.
The ssssilant at that time was a follower of
Mito, and, according to some accounts, il was
this transaction that eliminated in MitOs dis-
grace. The common popular rumors are that
the late Emperor died by poison, given at the
instigation Of Mito, and that the late burning
of the palace was his dissbolical design as we'll.
Mito has fed to his large estates; he is power
full in men and means, and whether he will
openly raise the standard Of revolt, making
his rallying cry equally hostile 10 the present
dynasty and to all foreign relations, We wait
thoughtfully, anxiously to see. The Ministers
Of State assure the foreign representatives thai
