CONFIDENCE GAME-A New SwINDLE.-
On yesterday we were advised of new
method of raising the wind or obtaining
money under false pretenses. The game we
are about to relate was played successfully
upon the president of an academy in Cow
ington. A young man with polished adj
dress, easy manners and pleasant converse
ton called on the president of the academy,
and asked for the terms per session for his
niece. The terms being satisfactory, he con-
sents that she shall become a student in the
academy, and gives general directions about
her. In order to assure the president that
the engagement shall be binding on his part
he offers to pay her tuition in advance, and
presents a check for the amount. After
conversation as to the advantages of the in
stitution, the youngman asked presidentif
there ought not to be reduction, as his
niece had entered the academy some few
months after the opening of the session, and
finally urges his claim for a reduction. The
president consented, and instead of altering
the check, he returned the difference TO the
young man, and the parties separated. The
young man, who called himself a captain,
left with some spending-money in his pock-
ct, and the president goes to the bank with
his check, and it is pronounced 10 be worth
less. The swindle became apparent, and
the professor pocketed his loss as dearly
earned leSson.-Gn. Enquirer.

THE VANDALISM OF WAR.
From the New York World

From the New York World
4 note from friend in New Orleans asks
us to call attention to several peculiar adj
vertisements now appearing in the Southern
papers. These advertisements offer rewards
for the return of valuable private libraries
stolen by officers Of the Union armies, and
appropriated TO their own use during the
late war. One gentleman says there were
taken from his house some three hundred
volumes, mostly rare French and Spanish
books, relating to the early history of Lou
isiana, which cannot be replaced by pur-
chase and for which he now offers five dol
lars per volume. Large rewards are also
offered lard no questions asked for the re-
turn Of other souvenirs stripped from South
ern houses, and which are now known to be
in the possession of captains, colonies, briga-
der and maior-generals, who have great
deal to say about their public services and
very little about their private stealings.
Our New Orleans correspondent himself
saw six or eight boxes of household knick-
knacks and women's and children's clothing
which were stolen in Pensacola by Neal
Dow, and were stopped at the Custom House
in New Orleans. This same Dow was con-
victed of stealing a silver pitcher from Bra
dish johnson. Libraries, wardrobes, plate,
closets, and picture galleries in New Orleans,
and in other cities were stripped during the
war; and the peculiar performances of But
Ter and his followers in this line are more
notorious in history than are any of their
exploits in the field. Peace ought to bring
repentance, and, if conscience does not urge
the return of these family relics and private
property, the large rewards now offered, and
which will be offered ought to induce the
particularly patriotic" to disgorge at least
portion of their plumber We do not APP
peal to their sense of propriety, or honesty,
or justice. We merely take leave to inform
them that they can make good thing of it
pecuniarily by disgorging their plumber.
Apropos of Butler. Victor Hugo, in
"The Toilers of the Sea-" draws the follow
ing portrait of certain Captain Zuela: "He
had taken part in the war of independence
in a truly independent fashion, adhering
sometimes to Morillo, according as he had
found it to his interest. He had enriched
himself by serving all causes No man in
the world could have been more Bourbonist,
more BOnapartist, more absolutist, more
liberal, more atheistical, or more devoutly
catholic. He belonged 10 that great and re-
nowned party which may be called the Luz
crative party A retrospect of Buffers
services TO the rebels as well as to the Union,
and, above all his services to himself; his
ill-gotten and anyhow-gotten gains; his
loyalty" during a long political career to
the party which paid him best; and his
present prominence in the party which,
above all others, in this or any country, or
in any time, ''may be fifty called the Lucra-
tive party" all show that Hugo need not
have gone back to Guernsey in 1920 to paint
the perfect portrait which he did of Captain
Zuela.

\ REMARKABLY CASE--A CHILD
CLAIMED BY TWO MOTHERS.

A remarkable case is now on trial before
the Superior Court at Hartford, Conn. The
particulars given by the Hartford Post are
as follows:
A lady, Mrs DeshOn, now Mrs Mary J.
Rand, residing in Boston, had boy by her
first husband. The boy had several sngu-
lar marks on his person, and also n serious
impediment in his speech. When the child
was five and halfyears old it died suddenly,
while its mother was asleep. The singular
appearance of the boy led her to have an
autopsy made, and she afterward prosecuted
the attending physician and apothecary who
had furnished the medicine Rufus Choate
was her counsel at this time Some two or
three years after Mrs. Rand observed child
in Boston which resembled hers so closely
that she followed it for some time but finally
lost sight Of it and its attendants. Two wears
or more elapsed before she heard of it again,
and then found out that it was in the Asy-
lum for the deaf and dumb in this city, be-
ing a charity pupil from the State of Massa-
chusetts. A picture of her husband, whom
she claims was the father of this child, was
shown to him, when he instantly exclaimed.
as well as he could, and in the presence of
several witnesses, That's my father; helives
in Boston,"
A careful examination has been made of
the boy by physician who attended him
during Il three months sickness, and he says
that God might have made two persons so
near alike, but that this was most the first
instance of the kind that had come to his
knowledge" The marks upon the boy now
here correspond exactly to those upon the
one he attended, and who was afflicted with
a serious rupture, which the boy at the Asy-
lum has also. Mrs. Rand's testimony Occu-
pied the Court during the entire day Tues
day, and her counsel, Mr.. Eaton, has consid-
cradle more testimony to introduce, which
he thinks cannot fail to convince any rea-
sonable man that the child of Mrs. Rand
was taken away whilst the mother slept and
another one substituted.
On the other hand, the putative mother,
Mrs. Phillips, Staples, Wilder and Frost, she
having been married several times, claims
to be able to substantiate her claim to the
boy, who says she is hers by Mr. Frost. He
was admittedt0 the Asylum some four years
ago under the name of Edward Frost, and is
now thirteen years of age, and, as we have
said before, as charity pupil of Massachu-
sets, but during the trip his mother, or she
who claims to be such, has paid little or no
attention TO him.
The case is one of the strangest on record,
and will probably las several days, and
a great deal of interest is manifested in the
result

WILL THE OIL YIELD FALL OFF?

The tax on crude petroleum, it would
seem, has crippled the production of oil to
a very great extent, and if not soon removed,
it is argued, will cause the yield to cease
altogether eventually in the Nernango oil
regions At least such will be the result
if new developments are not undertaken,
which will not be TO any great extent until
the tax on crude petroleum is removed.
The Titusville Herald has the following on
the subject Of decreased production:
The oil business was never in more
critical condition than at present. The
doubts expressed in some quaters as to the
repeal of the tax, the very small amount of
development going on, in comparison TO
previous years, the low price of oil and the
present large productions, are subjects which
keep every interest connected with oil in a
condition of the most persleXing suspense.
Letters are written from the Eastern markets
for opinions as 70 how the productions is
going TO hold ont, and letters of inquiry are
constantly sent 10 the Eastern markets in
reference TO the probable demand, but both
parties appear to be nonplussed. 1t may,
however, be a reasonable supposition that,
if the tax is not removed, the production of
oil will he very liable to fall off, as there are
so few Of the wells whose average yield pays
expenses Even with large wells which
are So-called, the tax is a terrible drawback.
We will give sample The Burtis we'll,
now the largest in Pithole, produced in
seventy DAYS $4,000 barrels-the cost of pro-
ducing which, including tax, was S,S3S.
The profits or dividend was Sl0,S51, 81.
which to each one-sixteenth working inter
est would be dividend of S339,l2 The

s.. 90. the highest 1878. This may at the
present time be considered a very large pro-
ducing well but those who bought one-six-
teenth working interest in it are anxious to
see their money back; and if the Burtis well
does not last any longer than the ether wells
Of Pithole the shareholders may consider
themselves very fortunate if they realize the
money they have sunk. If this is the case
with a large producing well, what must il
be with those which are only producing one
hundred barrels and under.
On the other hand il has been proved that
when a well is first struck il generally pro-
duces more than at any future period Of Its
existence, and month by month il gradually
dries away until il dries up. If, therefore,
there is no stimulus given 20 further pro-
duction, the wells now in existence cannot
always be depended upon 10 supply the
market, and from the general appearance Of
the producing territory at the present
moment. there is nothing TO guarantee a
supply equal to even what it was last year,
This Is one reason why the Pittsburg oper-
ators are buying the oil to hold it as the
chances are very much in favor of its becom-
ing a scarce article before next fall, when
il will be more in demand

4 STATE GOVERNED BY PRoXY.-For
some time there has been a suspicion of
something wrong in the Executive Depart
ment of the State of Iowa, and il was even
rumored that the Governor had appropriated
funds of the State of Iowa to his own purse.
A legislative committee having taken the
matter in hand il was discovered that the
Governors Private Secretary, named Orwig,
had devoted about thirty-four thousand dol
lars worth Of land warrants 10 his own use
But this was not the most startling develop
ment Ii seems that Gov. Stone has not
visited the capital above dozen times dur
ing his two years term, having transacted
the duties of his office by proxy Of this same
Private Secretary, who was authorised to
sign the Governors name. Orwig was be-
fore the investigating committee, and testi-
fed that he signed and issued proclamations
appointing days for thanksgiving and cleo
tons, general and special; that he signed
pardons, reprieves and discharges from the
penitentiary, and exercised the pardoning
power where he Thought Justice demanded
it :" that he signed the certificates of Iowa's
six Congressman, upon which they now hold
their seats in Congress; that he signed death
warrants that sent criminals 10 the gallows !;
that he appointed public officers and APP
proved their bonds, and finally, to make a
long matter short, that he had probably
signed the name of the Governor to ninety
nine out OF every hundred official papers that
have needed Governor Stones signature

trial at Auburn, New York, the counsel for
the Government, after severely cross-exam-

severity and exclaimed: Mr.. Witness, hat

a different story ?' :" A different story from

tried to get me to tell different story from
