A FEMALE m MALE ATTIRE. degree
of interest was created yesterday IN Baltimore:
by the arrest Of a girl about II years OF age Tor
appearing on the street III male attire. ohe.
was observed about o'clock in the mornlng
by Policeman Cunningham, on Lombard street,
near Light, dressed IN new suit OF black
cloth, and having on velvet cap. His atten--
tention was attracted by her appearance, and
on approaching nearer to her suspected that
she was femalc. The officer conducted her
to the Office Of Marshal Van Nostrand, refu-
sing her request to be permitted to return to
the Fountain Hotel, where she desired TO put
on more suitable dress. She refused to COM
nunicate any information with respect to her
self until she had been an hour or SO IN the
Office OF the Marshal, to whom subsequently
she disclosed all the facts concerning herself
and family.
1t seems that she left her home in Wash
ington on Monday and came to this city in
company with a young man with whom she
mad become acquainted twenty months pre-
yious, though the parents had n t any knowl-
lege Of him. He conducted here to the Foun
tain Hotel, and during the day obtained
marriage license from the Clerk of the Court
Of Common Pleas. He went to a house in
this city, where she was married, as she sup
posed; she received written certificate OF mar
riage. The man left her at the hotel where
she had room to herself. She had, for some
purpose not explained, procured the suits OF
clothing, and also q wig, having cut off her
tresses, which were OF a most beautiful tex
rure. She was last evening sent to the home
Of her parents by the Marshal, in charge Of
Detective Cassell. Her parents are very res
pectabe, and are utterly at a loss to account
tor the strange conduct OF their daughter,
whose name, under the circumstances, is with
held. She ha her name registered as Mrs
Rodier from " Washington, ID, Co. Bait. Am.
In his speech at the Union League Meet
ing, in New York, John Van Buren, said:-''I
do not think it to be criminal offence to be
thinking about who shall be the next President
OF the United States. | believe the next
President will be democrat. [ think SC be-
cause the great masses Of the people are rath
er that way and the Democrats are rather more
familiar with the administration Of the govern
ment and more clever, in my judgment, in
the exercise of power than their opponents-
But [ doubt if the next President will be the
candidate of the Democratic party. | do net
believe that any party organization Will succeed

Among other discoveries made in Pompeii,
Is an inscription on the wall of what was prob
aoy workshop Of some kind. as foIlows:-
Otlosjs hic locus non est, Dtscede, Norotor."
This may be translated: ''This place is not for
the lazy. Loafer, depart!' This inscription
IS interesting as showing that there were loaf
ers IN ancient days as there are in modern.
