The Escape of Postmaster FOwler--
How it was Effected.--His Last
Hour at the HOtel---COntem plated
Suicide. etc.

How it was Effected---His Last
Hour at the HOtel---Contemplate
Suicide, etc.
The New York Leader of the 1st inst,
gives what purports to be an account of"the
last hours spent at the New York Hotel by
Isaac V. Fowler" The Leader is owned
and edited by John Clancy, personal and
political friend of the late Postmaster. Ac-
cording to this statement, MIR. Fowler
learned on Thursday, the 10th ult., that the
Postmaster General, having returned from
Florida, had dropped on the trail of the de-
fciency and the sext day friday Messrs.
Butterworth & Hall, of the firm Of Butter
worth, Campbell, Hall & Co., started for
the National Capital, their design being to
solicit time for an effort to be made by the
friends 81 Mr. Fowler to raise the amount
due the United States.
On Friday evening, says the writer, Mr..
Fowler's courage seems to have deserted
him, and he walked the streets until day
light without sleep or food. On Saturday
morning be went down to the Office and
found it in charge of the chief clerk of the
Auditors department, a demand for the pay
ment of the deficiency having been made
Although failure to meet this demand in
itself constituted a crime under the law of
the United States, he seems to have enter>
tanned hopes that the efforts of his friends
in Washington would prove successful, and
was quite cheerful in conversiDg with his
friends who called upon him. He dined
that evening with August Belmont, and ap-
peared to be in good spirits, although he
left early, pleading prior engagement.
In the meantime, says the account, Mar
shall Rynders called at the New York Ho-
tel rather early in the course of the evening,
and was there quite unreserved in stating
that he had with him warrant for Mr..
Fowler's arrest. The Marshal remained
inside and around the hotel, but chiefly in
side, until about II o'clock and it is to be

Gains for Losses.

There are gains for our losses
There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth, the dream, departs,
1t takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
We are stronger and are better,
Under manhood's sterner reign;
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air,
But it never comes again.
