A. Child Stolen in 1916 Discovers her
Relatives ia 1855.

Quite recently, Mr.. NJ. G. Hallenbeok,
Clerk of the Lost Children's Department
at Police headquarters, received letter
from lady residing at Pittston, Penn
sylvania, in which she stated that she was
stolen from the residence of an aunt, in
Twenty-seventh street, in this city, some
time during the summer of lS45, and that
she was DESTROYS of learning, if possible,
the names and whereabouts Of her survi-
wing relatives. The writer stated that
she thought her name, when stolen, was
Mary Armstrong, and that she was about
six years of age at the time. She also
remembered that the uncle and aunt with
whom she was living when carried away,
were named Henry and Margaret Potter,
and she was of the opinion that that
name would prove to be the family one.
Tho writer stated that she had noticed
an article ia New York paper about the
Lost Children's Department, and request
ed that search might be made for her
relatives, although twenty-one years had
elapsed since she had been separated from
them. Mr.. Hallenbeck takes natural
interest in all cases coming under his no.
tice, and the novelty Of the proposition
Interested him strangely He at once
took up tho Directory and addressed
note to all the Potters found thereon, de-
tailing the circumstances related in his
correspondents letter. No satisfactory
answer was, however, returned, and Mr.
Hallenbeck was about to give up the
search in despair, when suddenly he re-
membered that the Sergeant in command
of the police squad on duty at the Essex
Market Police Court was named Isaac
w. Potter, and he sent for him. Ga
explaining the matter to him, and asking
his assistance, the interchangeable clerk was
both surprised and delighted to find that
the sergeant was one of the relatives so
earnestly sought for.
1t appears that only two members Of
the family arc living--the sergeant and
his sister Mary Ann--and their parents
were the uncle aud aunt with whom the
stolen child was living when kidnapped
in 1915. Notice of his success has been
already forwarded to Mrs. Andrew j.
Morgan, the writer of the letter. Mr..
Hallenbeok naturally evinces considerable
pride in his share of the transaction
Mrs. Morgan, in her note to him, omitted
all mention of her experiences after being
stolen, so that several links in this inter-
esting chain of circumstances are lost
She, however, stated that she was mar
ried and was living happily with her five
children in Pittston. Many singular and
romantic cases have come up from time
to time in the Lost Children's Depart
ment at Police Headquarters, but this last
one may DO fairly pronounced the most
wonderful of them all.--New York

Extraordinary Escape.

We have been placed in possession of
an extraordinary escape from instant death
which occurred ON Thursday night, on
the Little Miami railroad. On the mail
and accommodation train from Columbus
to this city were two "Sisters of the Good
Shepherd,' recently arrived in this coun-
try from France, on visit to their kin
sisters of this city. One of the Sisters
was constantly and intensely fearful of
danger to the train, as she had, according
to the statement Of her pious companion,
even in France, always labored under
premonitions of disaster aboard the rail-
road cars, and was otherwise excited and
restless, evidently from some morbid men,
tal distress. She needed constant satura.
ting of the head by her companion, who
seemed to have been to her tender
watchful friend. When within a short
distance this side of Morrow Station, the
sufferer asked to DO conducted to the sa-
loon, which was done by her friend, who
waited outside for her return but the
distracted creature never returned, but
deliberately made her way through the
window, even though the train was going
at an average speed, and spraug off. It
vas 80 long, however, ere this freak was
discovered, that the train had travelled
several miles before it could be stopped
by the very gentlemanly conductor, Mr..
Cole, who backed the train at a slow rate,
while diligent search was being made
for the unfortunate woman, but without
the desired result The conductor then
sent word by telegraph to Morrow and
surrounding country to search for the un-
fortunate Sister. She was found in
house between Morrow and Deerfeld, nm.
injured, except slight bruise in the
head.
The accident occurred about 3 o'clock
il the morning, and the train was run
Mug at the rate of twenty-five miles an
hour. From her own story, it is learned
that when she sprang through the win
dow she rolled over and over several
times in the grass, and was considerably
henumbed by the shock, but after recover
ing her strength she got up and loisurely
walked to house located near where she
sprang from the train. She came down
TO the city yesterday, and is now safely
with her friends, 1t was truly miracu-
lous Cincinnati Eng.

From The Rockville md } Sentinel.
Yankee Notions.

We have seen it stated in many papers,
that the bone-grubbers employed to take
up the dead Federal soldiers and RENTER
them in the public burial grounds, have
been in the habit of forcing open the
collins, rihiug their pockets, and knock
ing out their teeth and cracking them for
the sake of the bits of gold with which
they may have been plugged. The follow
ing statement on this subject we take from
the Warrenton, (Va.) Sentinel edited by
Jas. G. Cannon, Esq, who formerly
taught in the Academy at Rockville, and
on whose statement we fully rely. These
facts make it probable that the horrible
Ghouls, so often named in the Arabian
Nights Entertainment, were not altogeth-
or fictitious
GRAVE RoBBERs.-Last week, our
town was visited by a detachment of Fed
eral soldiers, who were sent from Wash
iDgton to disinter and to remove to the
Arlington Cemetery, the remains of their
comrades, who were, during the war,
buried in the Warrenton Cemetery.
We would it were otherwise, but we
have the best authority, eye-wituesses,
for saying it, that as soon as a coffin was
lifted from its resting place, the first thing
done was to rip off the lid with an iron
pick, and to rake away the Wondering re.
mains for any jewelry that might have
been buried with the corpse. II any
thing valuable was found, it was hastily
appropriated by these ravenous fends, for
what else shall we call those who have
lost every feeling save their accursed ap-
petite for gold.

Counterfeiting,

The counterfeiting business has become
formidable enterprise, and large amounts
of capital are invested in it. The Treas
ury Department has men (perhaps from
necessity in its secret special service who
are old counterfeiters, acting as detect.
ives, and when they make arrests it is
found the most difficult thing in the world
to prosecute to conviction, the testimony
usually being made to have loose end
by which the guilty are set at liberty
There are some excellent officers engaged
in the secret service, but the history of
important counterfeiting cases tried in
the Circuit Court of the United States,
in this Southern District of New York,
shows that the right men are not always
in the right places.
Yesterday statement was made by
counsel for Henry Holmes, alias Henry
Hall, alias "Little Hank" in an exami-
nation before United States Commission
or Osborn, which was exceedingly bold
1t was to the end that the Solicitor for
the Treasury had made an agreement by
which Holmes, alias Hail, should DO
screened from prosecution for the charge
on which he is now under arrest. In the
presence of any such agreement, Holmes
must have promised to unbosom some
important information relative to the
whole scheme on foot in various direc-
tions to defraud the people and Govern.
ment of the United States by issuing
counterfeit money.
1t is time that proper check was ad-
ministered to this nefarious traffic, and it
is to be hoped that the visit of the So
licitor of the Treasury to this city will
not be without profit in this direction.-
AT the present time it is impossible for
the great mass of the people to keep
track of the various counterfoits with
which the country is flooded indeed, it
is in not few cases difficult enough for
experts in our banking and brokerage es.

what is genuine and what is spurious

Great Guns.

On Saturday, at twelve o'clock, a num-
Der of ladies' and gentlemen were assem-
bled at Fort Pitt Foundry to witness the
casting of twenty-iuch navy gun for
the monitor Puritan, now building in
New York. This is the first gun of the
size cast for the navy. Two other guns
Of this size were, some time ago, cast for
the army. AS far as we are able to
judge FROM the successful manner in which
the mould was filled with the hot metal,
the present gun is perfect success, the
result of the unremitting attention by
Colonel Joseph Kaye, who has been con-
nected with these works for twenty-seven
years, and his assistants. Very few of
the guns cast at these works ever fail Of
being perfect. The one just cast will
undoubtedly be taken from the mould as
complete. Some ten days will be requir-
ed before it will be sufficiently cooled to
be taken out. 1t was cast on the Rod
man principle--that is, with stream of
water passing constantly through the
core.
Among the spectators was Captain
Kholostatf, of the Russian Royal Mining
Engineers, who had been sent by that
Government to inspect our manufacturing
establishments, our social and political
systems, in their every detail, with view
of reporting deliberately to the Govern
ment on the practicability of that Gov
eminent adopting them. He will strong

casting. He says they have our mont
tors now, and to complete them they need
our guns-and they may need some of
our men, too.
The metal used in the casting of the
present gun amounted to 100000 lbs
1t was heated in three furnaces. No. 4
contained $4,000 lbs. ; No. contained
$4,000 lbs. and No. 6, $4,000. Of this
amount of metal, 101 900 lbs. was Juniata
second fusion, and $4,000 lbs. Juniata
pig, from the Rodman and Bloomfield
furnace. 1t is considered the best metal
in the country for cast-iron guns.
The fires to heat this immense amount
of metal were kindled at 435 A. M. on
Saturday. No. 4 was down aud the
melting completed at IL As; No. S at
1915, and No. g. at 1915 A. M. At
ten minutes past II o'clock, furnaces No.
4 and 5 were tapped, and No. 6 few
minutes after. The time consumed in
running the metal from the furnaces into
the mould was very short. No. 4 stop
ped running at ll.22; No. at 1928
and No. 6 at 1921. The metal was very
perfect. At the commencement of cast.

President johnson Wanted in England

PRESIDENT Johnson wanted IN England.
We find the following report of an
interesting case in London paper of
July s.:
ain the case Of the United States VS..
Prioleau, Vice Chancellor Sir. w. Page
Wood delivered Judgment this morning.
This case raised an important question
with regard to international law. The
United States Government had filed bill
to recover from the defendants, who are
merchants at Liverpool, a considerable
quantity of cotton which had been con-
signed to them by the Confederate States,
and which had been contributed by resi-
dents of the Confederate States to enable
the Confederates to carry on war against
the United States. When the matter
came before the court about year ago,
the Vice Chancellor allowed the defend
ants to receive $4,000 out of the pro.
ceeds Of the cotton, toward satisfaction of
their claim against the Confederate States,
for whom they were agents during the
American war, but he required them to
give security to the amount Of 100000
until the final hearing of the cause. In
February last the defendants filed cross
bill against the President of the United
States for the purpose of obtaining full
discovery with reference to this affair."
The defendants averred that there were
matters peculiarly within the knowledge
of the President of the United States in
reference to the cause, and that his evil
dence would be important, and q motion
was made on behalf of the defendants for
the purpose of charging the time for clio
sing the evidence in the original suits
until month after President johnson
should have answered the cross bill on
oath.
at was contended by the counsel for
the defendants that, notwithstanding
the exalted position of presidents John
son, he could not escape from the rule
which applied to ordinary individuals who
came before the court as plaintiffs, name
ly, the obligation of answering upon oath
a cross bill filed against them for the pur-
pose of discovery. The Vice Chancellor
took this view of the case, and said that
all who came for justice to that court
must conform to its regulations. In all
cases of corporate bodies properly ap-
pointed officer should answer on oath, but
he doubted whether the President was a
sufficient person, because it was not clear
that the United States had sufficient con-
troll over him to compel him to produce
papers, &c. What was asked for now
was that the suit should be delayed until
the President of the United States had
put in his answer He could not accede
to that application because he could not
take judicial notice of the President, but
what he could do was to allow the suit to
be delayed until an answer was put in by
a properly accredited officer of the United
States, and he should make an order to
that effect. AS soon as all these prelimi-
nary matters are settled, the case, which
excites much interest in commercial cir
Giles, will come on for hearing"

The VEGETABLE WoRLp-Plants n,

The VEGETABLE WORLD Plants are,
as it were, the most direct language of the
earth. Every new leaf, every strange
flower, is some secret that is pressing
forth, and which, because it cannot move
or speak for joy and love, becomes mute,
quiet plant When we find such a flower
in solitary place, does it not seem as if
everything around were transfgured, and
as if the little feathered tones loved best
to dwell in its vicinity? One could weep
for joy, and, secluded from the world,
thrust hands and feet into the ground and
strike root, in order never to leave the
happy neighborhood Over the whole
dry world is flung this green, mysterious
carpet of love. With every spring it is
made anew, and its strange writing is le-
gible only to the beloved, like the posies
of the Orient. Forever will be read, and
never, and never read his fill and daily
becomes aware of new meanings, new
transporting revelations of loving Nature
