BOLD ROBBERY IN BosroN.-Between S35,-
600 and $4,000 in money, stocks, securities,
&C., and also large number of papers were,
on Thursday afternoon stolen from the store of
E. & M. Faxon, leather dealers in Pearl street,
Boston. 1t seems that about halfpast twelve
well dressed, gentlemanly appearing fellow,
apparently about 25 years of age, entered the
store and requested of Mr.. Faxon the favor of
change for ten dollar bill, remarkfng that he
would like one-half of it in scrip. Mr.. Faxon
told the stranger that he could not give him
currency, but could accommodate him with
small bills, and the fellow said that would sat
isfy him. Mr.. FaXon then gave him the change,
taking the money from portfolio which he
had locked in small drawer in desk after
which he folded the portfolio, replacdd it in the
drawer, locked the same and placed the key in
mis- pocket, aud the stranger passed out of the
store. AS soon as the stranger left, Mr.. Faxon
says he went down to the wash-room, which is
in the basement of the store, almost directly
under the counting room, leaving no one up
stairs. He does not think he was absent more
than minute and half or two minutes but
when he returned he ascertained that the Office
had been entered during his brief absence, the
drawer of the desk forced open and the port
folio and its contents CARED away.
No clue has yet been obtained to the robber
and Mr.. Faxon says he is not certain he could
identify him.

parade article as n fnt accompi, and this is the
first time any governmenntal writer has made
such an admission, La Presse admits that the
alliance is natural and logical one, and that
ii forebodes storm to which that of last Sum

about universal peace
