RECOVERY OF STOLEN JEwELRY-On the
4th Of March last, the room Of Maj Gen. John
@. Foster, U. s. A., at the Ebbitt House. was
entered during dining hours, and a number Of
diamonds, gold cross and other jewelry to the
amount Of 81, 900, stolen thersfrom. Informa-
tion was lodged at headquarters, and detectives
Claryoe and McDeyitt were given the case to
work up. They succeeded In Arresting two par
ties whom they suspected, and conveyed them to
the Ebbitt House, for the purpose Of identified
tion BY those residing In the hotel. Though the
detectives failed in their being identified BY scr
wants and others, and were compelled to let the
prisoners 20, yet they were satisfied that they
were the parties who had committed the crime.
Messrs. Clarvoo and McDeyitt telegraphed to
Smith, Pierson, and West, the detective firm No
3l7 West Faystte street, Baltimore. and informed
them Of tbs circumstances and Of their suspicious
Of who tho suspected party was. That firm kept
q watchful eye and keen scent, and traced the
thieves to Philadelphia; thence to New York;
and then to Boston, whore twenty-three Of the
diamonds and tho gold cross were recoveredi and
though the thieves were not caught, yet there Is
every prospect Of their being brought to justice
within q short time.
Mr. Foster had his property retained TO him
| yesterday morning at headquarters which he
priIed highly from associations connected with
1t He was profuse in his thanks to the detec'
| tives and left . check with thom for very lib.
eral amount as q reward for thoir energy and
success Messrs. Smith, Pierson, and West are
deserving Of much credit In the affair, and the
quintette can congratulate themselves on their
successful chase after the stolen property.

At the JAIL

yesterday, both preaching and Sabbath school
services we're held under the auspices Of our in
deratigablo young friends of the Young Mems
Christian Association. These exercises were lis
tened to attentively by a majority of the in
mates Of the prison, house, and those who were
apparently uncOncsrned at tho time, showed no
disposition whatever to interrupt the progress Of
the good work. These young men deserve credit
for the work they have so kindly and generously
volunteered to perform, and should DO onoour-
aged by all who are capable Of lending their

SERVICES AT METzERoTr HALL,

The Rev. DR.. Hawos, pastor Of the Congrega-
tional chur ch, Philadelphia, preached last eve.
ming at MetIerott Hall to q full congregation.
The text was from tho Epistles Of Paul to the
Hebrews, chap. II, verse 81, "By faith he forGook
Egypt, not fearing the wrath Of the king for he
endured, as seeing him who is invisible" From
this text the reverend divine delivered an elo.
auent and forcible sermon, enchanting his hear
ers to the end upon the faith Of Moses In seeing
tho invisible, who, he said might have been called
the son Of Pharoah's daughter, and who was un-
doubtedly q radical or fanatic such was his
strength In the faith Of seeing Him that was in
visible. He said there was an invisible world
and It was necessary for us all to look into that
world, for God had giveH man many faculties.
To see, eat, drink, RRd sleep is not life-minds
must seak out and penetrate beyond the visible
and material world but life was great faith In
God, tho invisible. Tho most Of the knowledge
concerning this world Is derived from human tes'
timonyj but there Is something that teaches u'
Of the existence Of the unknown world Just in
proportion as we believe in the invisible, The
question arises as to what is that wsrld whsI
the spirits Of Eve, Adam, and Moses, dwell neal
the throne Of God. To see Jesus, We must endur
as Moses did, for his faith in redemption was hi
ability to SEQ Him. Our space this morning will
not admit Of more extended notice Of this Inter
esting subject and as 1t is likely DR., Hawes will
repeat the sermon, we advise our hearers to hsa
him.
