\ SHRhWD WAY OF CATCHING
THIEVES Paris papers reveal
new style of theft by which jew
elerS are losers. The thief enters the
shop of dealer in diamonds and pearls,
and asks to see some small unset
stones. He is we'll dressed and wears
colored spectacles. The stones are laid
before him, spread on paper. Being
very near-sighted, as his glasses prove,
he is obliged to bring his eyes so near
to the gems that he can pick them up
with the tip of his tongue, and he keeps
them in his mouth until out of the shop.
If he fears detection, which seldom oc-
ours, he swallows his treasure-whence
the slang name Swallow it raw" Civ
en- to this class by the thieves fraterni-
ity. One Of them was caught the 9th
day. The diamond merchant, put up
on his guard, said he had no small
stones, but would have large supply
the next day. A policeman was in
waiting; the diamonds were laid ont
upon papers previously impregnated
with an extremely bitter drug, which
when the thiefput his tongue to them
acted so violently on his sense of taste
that he instantly rejected what he had
Just taken. The policeman appeared
and the thief was taken in the act.

LEATHER BREECIES IN THE OLDEN
TIME.-HOW changed are the fashions
from the olden time! In former days,
remarks a contemporary, working
men and mechanics and country people
universally appeared in their leather
breeches and apron, with baize, red or
green vests. Working boys did the
same. How changed, we say, the
times! An apprentice has now suit
of broadcloth, in cut and style of the
latest fashion, with cap, hat and boots
to agree. But in the primitive times,
all these things were strikingly differ
ent. A young man of eighteen was
genteelly and handsomely dressed in
pair of buckskin breeches, black or
"buff" every week for his Sunday ap-
pearance at church. His legs were
covered to the knees with blue yarn
knit stockings and his feet protected
by coarse leather shoes, we'll creased
and surmounted by brass buckles
Remember, too, that he wore checked
or speckIed shirt all the week, but a
snow white on the Sabbath, and this
he carefully took off when he came
home, folded up and laid away for the
next Sunday services. After long
wear the leather trOuSerlOOns became
greasy, and growing older, were only
flexible when worn, for there were no
stoves, furnaces or heaters to warm
their garments at.

ANALYSIS OF FOOD.-It is stated
that hungry man who sits down be-
fore pound of beefstake, tender, juicy,
and an inch thick, and eats it, will find
upon analysis that siXty-tive per cent.
of his steak was water; that eighteen
per cent. will go to give him an alder
manic fleshness; and that fourteen per
cent. is assigned to warm him, and make
him feel comfortable on cold day.
OF the flesh-iOrming ingredients, accOr-
ding to DR.. Playfair, every one, on an
average, requires ninety-tWo pounds
annually to keep up proper bodily
condition. Ifnot obtained from steaks,
then it must be secured from something
else. Cheese is a great fleSh-former go
per cent? and, taken with beer, speed
ilyconceals all traces ofunsightly bones.
Two ounces of flesh formers per diem
will keep a man alive if he is not forced
to labor, but hard labor requires six,
or the body will run short of starch and
sugar, aud go behind-hand in health
and strength. In 100 parts of wheat
there are 10 pounds of flesh, but there
is nearly double the amount in the
same quantity of oat meal.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Ifall the Southern States are adn IT.
ted, the full electoral vote will be347;
absolute majority required, 159.
Revolutions never go backward, and
the present one will progress steadily,
bringing in under the Conservative
banner other States, and confirming
by increased majorities those that have
already cut adrift from Radical rule.
No one. it is to be presumed, will de-
ny that the following States are abso-
lutely and hopelessly lost to the Rad
icals for the next Presidential contest,
viz; California, Connecticut, Delaware,
Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio.
They poll l19 votes, leaving 40 to in
sure an absolute majority. With pre-
sent prospects, can there be any doubt
but that they can be readily obtained?
Indiana and Illinois give tWenty-nine
votes. Will not both of these States
wheel into line? When we see in one
year a change of $4,000 in the Radical
majority in Massachusetts, may we not
even hope for that fossil State, and still
more so for New Hampshire and
Maine? Then there are several Of the
Northwestern States which undoubted-
ly will cut loose from Radical rule with
in the coming year, and it will be inl-
possible, with all their hardihood ofac-
ton and defiance of the Constitution,
for the extremists to negrOize all the
Southern States, so that some of them
will undoubtedly vote for the Conserva-
tive candidate. Though it will take
some time to reform the S nate, the
Radical rule will be destroyed in the
next House, and all power for further
mischief taken from them. Let us
then be be thankful for the bright skies
above. We have an abiding convic-
ton that the Republic is saved.-Na-

PREDESTINATION.--AMissOuri pa

to Calvinistic clergyman who hap

"Certainly."

observed.
