was promenading up and down on the sidewalk,
waiting for her. These gentlemen went out, and
after an absence of two or three minutes re-

young lady who lost her purse three wears ago.
The report OF the hotel committee was accepted
as the bnal decision, and the confidence game of
the bogus nun was ended. After delivering then
and there very decided lectu. e to the swindler,
her beneactress told her that they must part
company, an announcement which greatly sur.
prised Gertrude, as she supposed she was to re-
turn 10 - and get her trunk which che was
informed she could not do.
Her cool impudence after exposure was even
more remarkable than her previous conduct
had been, She boasted of being the greatest of
mars; detailed with minute exactness the time
when, and the reason why, suspicion as to her
real character arose in the minds OF those with
whom she was stopping. She frankly confessed
that she was actuated in her course of life by
too lazy TO work, and II she did labor she
should be obliged to live with what she called
common people, When asked why she did
not apply for a situation in a store, she drew
herself proudly up, and declared "she would
die first" She always had moved in very good
society, and always intended to. She probably
will until she visits the house of correction, or
some public reformatory institution.
The great secret of her "successn Is in ex-
citing sympathy, She never asks for anything,
and has often protested against receiving moneys
collected for her on the er6"nd that the Lord
would take care of her. This beinS Ihe case,
those whom she has swindled do not have neE
arrested, as she has solicited neither food nor
Taiment, and has received all her favors under
protest. After her last exposure, several bene-
violent gentlemen took her in charge, and at

any terms. So they paid her bill and started
her again on her travels she still trusting in

those familiar with her varied stories will

she will play in the next scene of her opera
tions." In the meantime, her trunk and

The FIRST REFORM SCHOOL EVER EsTAB-
LIsHED.-After reading in the Press OF TINS
morning the interesting editorial account OF
the recent festival at the Reform Schooi OF
Maine, happened to discover on one OF the
shelves of well known Portland bookstore, a
little book which read with very deep inter-
est p few wears ago, and part of whose con-
tents would be exceedingly interesting to all
who have the welfare of the reform movement
at heart. 1t is called Praying and Working,
an unsatisfactory and unsuggestive title, but
one which is explained by the character of the
book. 1t contains accounts of the rise of some
of the most remarkable philanthropic enter
prises OF the present day, and one of its most
striking chapters relates to the so-called Rough
House established by the eminent Wichern,
near Hamburg, the first Reform School in the
world. The writer of these lines had the pleas
ure OF speaking at the school few weeks ago,
of recent visit to that Hamburg institution; ;
and those who wish to see the whole subject
presented in clear, attractive, indeed it is not
too much to say, fascinating manner, are re-
ferred to that excellent little book, Praying and
Working. We have few works in general cir
culation so well written and so well adapted to
interest and instruct at the same time.

OvERBoARD-The worthy captain OF schO0n-

sea Saturday, from Union wharf, missed his
foothold from the rail and pumped overheard

would pop into kettle of fat The CAPTAIN

went the cook, either through gallantry or ac-
cident, perhaps both, and the pair were soon
fiounderlng ON the surface, putting and blow
ing like couple of exhausted porpoises, neither
OF them knowing how to swim. The persons
on board the schooner, Including the captains
wife and another lady passenger, were so COM
pletely bewldered in their astonishment that
not soul thought of throwing rope to-
wards the frantic readings Of the wretched
pair, who with noses just above water, seem
ed about to leave for the region of the aoun-
ders and sculpins beneath. Treble, alto and
bass were the cries that went up for help from
the deck, grating harshly upon the quiet of
that glorious winter afternoon, but lost or un-
heard were they to the passing tug boat, which,
whistling merry as a school boy, still piled
its way EDWARDS towards the islets that
dotted the blue expanse beyond. Fortunate
ly for all, man on the wharf, taking in the
situation, leaped on board the vessel and threw
the acquatics rope, which, being seized up
on by the pair, the captain exclaimed in chok-
ing words of encouragement to his weeping
spouse, don't cry, old gal, / amt agoing to
die yet" and was drawn on board to complete
his preparations for the voyage SO auspiciously
begun, inasmuch as an unpleasant commence
ment betokens happy ending. The cook
soon followed the captain to the deck, and ex-
pressed the opinion that sit was coolish in the
water" II

interference with the Navy Yards. al
The Washington dispatches of Saturdays
Boston Advertiser confirm the impression pre-
yiously existing respecting the political man
agenlent of Secretary Welles during the last
campaign. Here is what relates to the Norfolk
Navy Yard: = .u.ig III. mi ess-.
A further examination of the papers sent to
the Senate by the Secretary of the Navy in re-
ply to the call for Information respecting the
Norfolk Navy Yard, is calculated to confirm
the strong suspicion, quite generally enter
tanned, that the Secretary used the whole ma
chinery of the navy, yards of the country last
fall for political purposes. Among the papers
is considerable correspondence with John
son club organized in the Norfolk NAVY Vary.
1t appears That the club held a meeting on the
9th October and appointed its President. one
Francis A. Gibbons, to proceed to Washington
and lay before the Secretary of the NAVY the
necessity of removing from Office men who
were opposed to the administration and an
pointing in their stead the men who were
known to sustain the same. The club then
proceeded to recommend the removal of about
a dozen OF the principal master-workmen Sc,
and followed tins with list of names of Der-
sons, supporters of the administration whom
it wouidtbe desirable to appoint to the yacan
cies made. Mr. Gibbons, who was recommend
ed Tor the post OF chief accountant of the
yard, did not find it conveniant to come to
Washington, but he wrote the Secretary a let
ter in which he urged him to make the remoy-
ais sand appointments recommended.
and limited to him that the result of the
October elections showed the folly of not act
ing in the matter long ago. He enclosed a
copy of the proceedings of the club. and also
a letter signed by about seventy OF the So
called merchants" mechanics and business
men OF Portsmouth, indorsing the recommend
atoms OF the club, and urging action without
delay. Mr. Gibbons seemed to fear that the
secretary would not act expeditiously enough.
ana 50 he sent another copy of these doom
ments to Col. Tom Florence. editor of tLe
mon newspaper in this city, for delivery to
the President. He earnestly entreated Mr.
Florence to see the President and have these
obnoxious men removed without delav. He
was also desired to call in the aid of General
Ihomas Ewing, jr to bring about Immediate
action. Colonel Florence was prompt in the
matter. The papers were laid before the Pres-
ldent, who referred him to Mr.. Welles and es.
pecially called his attention to the same The
record fails to show whether or not Mr.. Glib
bons got the place he desired, but some of the
others whom the club represented were fortu-
nate enough :" 10 secure appointments. Some
u u",e whose removal was urged were sus-
pended, and re-instated only after long cores
pondence and the most abjeet subserviency,
while others seem never to have been restored
