TnSividunl In Feminino Role,

An Ingenious Thief..-.A Masculine
Individual in Feminine Rolo.
Mr.. Henry Schneider lives at No. o7S
Eighth avenue, between Forty.seventh
and Forty eighth streets. He has only
been o few years in this country, and left
behind in "Fadsrland" . young brother,
John, from whom he had not heard for
some time. He appeared, yesterday, be-
fore Justice Connolly and preferred .
charge Of grand larceny against n Carl
Alderman, who 10 eighteen years Of age, .
paper. hanger. and resides at No. No. 96
Avenue A. It appears that on Saturday
evening, the 22d inst, the accused went
TO Mr.. S%chneidsr's house and introduced
himself a. q very particular friend of'and
the bearer Of Q message from the COM
plainant's brother, whom he had seen in
Germany just previous to the time he left
there for this country. Mr.. Schneider did
all he could to make his new aoquaint-
ance feel at home; they drank and smoked
and chatted together until . late hour,
when they separated, Alderman starting
for home. Just before leaving, however,
he informed Schneider that = certain
young and pretty German actress had
seen him (Schneider) somewhere and had
fallen desperately in love with him, and
desired to obtain an introduction to him.
The information pleased the credulous
Schneider, and he was most happy to
promise that if Alderman would call for
him on the following Sunday evening,
- -o,Id M 90 T;zzin's nth him and
make her Acquaintance. The prisoner
promised faithfully to call for him at the
appointed time, and left. He had not
been gone long, however, before Mr..
Schneider had occasion to get some pa
pers from the inside breast pocket Of
his coat, which hung upon q clothes-
rack in the room. What was his aston
ishment upon putting his hand in his
pocket, to find that his pocket-book, con-
tanning S55. had been distracted there
from during the interview with his friend.
He was utterly at q loss to know who
could have committed the deed, not dar-
ing to suspect that his dear brothers
friend would do such . thing. Here the
matter dropped for the tins. Sunday

not. On Tuesday evening some one rang
the front door-belI Of Mr.. Schnsider's
house, and he answered it in person, glad
to believe that the visitor must DO his
friend for whom he was patiently waiting.
Instead. however, Of seeing a gentleman
he beheld q young lady, neatly dressed,
and quite pretty withal. He invited her
into the parlor, where, after being seated,
she introduced herself a. Miss Stein, the
actress. She said that. unable to get an
introduction through Dir. Ackerman, she
had presented herself in person, and hoped
that he would not think the action bold
| or presumptuous on her part. Schneider
thought he recognized the voice Of his
Saturday night friend, and. upon . close
examination Of her features, he was almost
certain that his impression was correct.
He theleupon seized his visitors bonnet,
| pulled it from his head, tore off his water
| fall" and left his recognition beyond dis
pute. He then began TO think that 1t was
| possible that his brothers friend had COM
| mitted the theft. Upon charging Acker-
man with it, no acknowledged having
taken the money. He was therefore ar
rested and taken before Justice Connolly,
| who committed him for trial without bail.
| His appearance in Court in female apparel
created considerable merriment among the
spectators. Being Of fair complexion, and
| quite beardless. he has little difficulty in
| palming himself upon others ~ one Of the
setter sex.-N. Y. Tines.
DEvILIsH SUGGESTIONS BIZ SOUTHERN
| Cur THRoATs.-The New York Herald oil
| October 18th has the following fiendishly
original idea concerning the possible i'm.
! parchment Of Johnson. It 10 furnished
BY its Washington correspondent:
Tho emotion created by the result Of
the Pennsylvania election 10 sensibly fell
| BY the friends Of the Administration,
| Prominent Southerners declare that the
| Radicals have passed tho Rubicon, and
will march almost unopposed to absolute
dominion. II is imagined that the Presi-
dent will be impeachsd and removed.
The end, in the opinion Of these Southern
politicians, will justify any means. The
| Radicals have the power. and their pur-
pose is fixed. There is but one act OF the
| Presidents Administration Of which they
can constltutionally and legally impeach
and convict him-the murder OF Mrs.
Surra,t and the other victims Of the mill
,ary commission. The Supreme Court Of
the United States has declared such TIL
bunals illegal. Every Democratic Sena-
tor, under the lead Of Reverdy johnson,
v;n n, constrained IN yote save upon
the question of guilty or no. guilty to this
charge. The Senate will DO unanimous
the Radicals from policy and the Demo-
Gratis from conviction. The world will be
taught by another eminent example that
in the ways Of Providence sin becomes it,
own ayenger. That is the view OF
Southerners here, and there arc but few
Of them on hand.
