A Sensation Novel of Real Life,

1t is not often that man who begins his
career by embezziement turns out right insthe
long run, and refunds with interest the amount
distracted; but an instance of the kind. very
remarkable in its character, has come TO light
in Liverpool, About six or eight years ago.
a young Jnah, who had been educated at
Trinity College, Dublin, arrived at Liverpool
to push his fortune. His conduct while at
the College had been SO loose and wild that
his parents declined to have anything further
to do with him. But he was clever. a good
linguist, and apt to make himself useful, and
soon he was engaged as a Correspondence
clerk by an influential firm, in whose service
ne worked himself up to such point of eff
cheney that they increased both his pay and
his responsibilities. Atlength, however. the
old Adam asserted itself, and an order to
cover his personal extravaganza, the young
man helped himself to his employers cash to
the extent of GS,090. He of course. himself
eloped, and all the ingenuity of the detective
officials could not Disclose his whereabouts.-
In the meantime the fugitive went to. Ameri-
ca, and Gas afterwards traAspiredl engaged.

in New York, with whom he remained until
the outbreak of the American war. His
master being an ardent patriot, offered to adj

would volunteer for the war, and the hero of
this brief narrative was one who accepted the
offer He went through some of. the 'seyefest
brushes of the campaign without receiving a
wound, fought at Fredericksburg, Seven Oaks
and other places, and held subordinate com
mand during Sherman's great march. AT
the close Of, the war he fell In love with, and
married the wealthy young widow of one of
the Federal Generals who was killed at Get

difficulty in the way-the 93.0Oa. UItiz

would have been no serious accident in itself

horse also ran and strewed the road and field
with fragments of the wagons to which thew
were attached. Yet SO soon was all this done
that 1t was hardly known before it was all

NO one doubted but the hearse and the coffin
had been literally dashed to pieces. The men
turned out with lanterns and lights and
searched far and near but, in about an hour,
word was brought that boy had stopped the
hearse down town, near the ferry. And all
though the horse had run most furieusly. and
knocked off pieces of the hcarse, yet the cof-
I'm was not injured in tile least, and when

rounds of the press every once and awhile.
has the merit ofsbeing an actual fact. Old

the story himself:-
On the morning of the meteoric shower. in
1888, he intended making an early start ID
his work, got up in the midst of the display,,
On going to his door he saw with amazement
the sky'iit up with the falling meteors and he
concluded at once that the world was on FIRE,
and that the day of judgment had come. He
stood for moment gazing in speechless terS
ror at the scene, and then with yell of hor.
ror, sprung out of the door right in the midst
OF the falling stars, and there he commenced
series of ground tumbling that would have
done honor to a rope dancer. Sea
His wife being awakened in the meantime.
and seeing Peyton jumping and skipping
about the yard called out to him to know
What IN the name of common sense he was
dom, out thar dancing round, without his
clothes on" But Peyton heard not. The
Judgement and long black account he would
have to settle made him needless of terrestrial
things; and his wife, becoming alarmed at
his behavior, spraDg out of bed and running
tothe door, shrieked out at the top of her
voice: = b aaitt..I !,
