kept her money, was found one hua-
dred thousand dollars, two-thirds Of
the amount in greonbacks and the re-
mainder in gold,
Mrs. McClintock was hardly cold
in her coffin, before young Steele was
surrounded by a set Of vampires, who
clung to him as long as he had a dol
lar remaining. The young million
aires head was turned by his good
fortune, aud be was Of the opinion
that his money would accumulate too
rapidly unless it was actually thrown
away, aud throw il away he did,

precious Skylarlts. People being called out of
their beds at all hours OF the night, to bail a
set of fellows who are never so happy az when
they're leading sober men to destruction |
should like to know what the neighbors will
think of you, with people from the police
knocking at the door at two in the morning.
Don't tell me that the man has been ill-used;
he's not the man TO be ill-used. And you
must go and bail him | know the end of
that: he'll run away, and you'll have to pay
the money. / should like to know what's the
use of my working and shaving to save farth-
ing, when you throw away pounds upon your
precious Skylarks. A pretty cold you'll have
tomorrow morning, being called out Of your
warm bed this weather; but don't you think
I'll nurse you-not l; not drop of Cruel do
you get from me.
"l'm sure you've plenty of ways of spend
ing your money-nOt throwing it away upon
a set of dissoute peace-breakeTs. It's all very
well for you to say you haven't thrown away
your money, but you will. He'll be certain to
run off, it isn't likely he'll go upon his trial,
and you'll be fixed with the bail. Don't tell
me there's no trial in the matter because 1
know there is; it's for something more than
quarrelling with the policeman that he was
locked up. People ar'nt locked up for that.
No, it's for robbery, or something worse,
perhaps.
"And as you've baled him, people will
think you are as bad as he is. Don't tell me
you couldn't help bailing him; you should
have shown yourself a respectable man, and
let him been sent to prison.
"Now people know you're the friend of
drunken and disorderly persons you'll never
have a nights sleep in your bed. Not that it
would matter what fell upon you, if it wasn't
your poor wife who suffered. OF course all
the business will be in the newspapers, and
your name with it. l shouldn't wonder, too,
if they give your picture as they do the other
folks of the Old Bailey. A pretty thing that,
to go down to your children. Pm sure it will
be enough to make them change their name.
No, shall not go to sleep; it's all very well
for you to say, Go to sleep; after such dis
turbance. But l shall not go to sleep, Mr..
Caudle certainly not.''
"Ier will, have no doubt" says Caudle,

MYSTERY AND PROBABLE MURDER
The body of an unknown colored man was
picked up yesterday, as it came floating
down the river, near the workhouse, and
was transferred to the shore. Coroner Nor
veil summoned jury, and upon examina-
ton of the corps it was found that death
had been caused by 4 bullet, which had
pierced the chin. His dress aud general
appearance seemed to indicate that his
calling was that of deckhand on one OF
the river steamers, and the body had APP
parently been in the water several days.
No clue whatever could be obtained 10 the
mystery, and verdict was rendered to the
effect that he came to his death from gun
or pistol in the hands Of some persons I'M
known.
We heard it stated late last night that
the deceased was resident of this city, and
