A Freech Detective Exploit.

The last exploit of V1docq, the fa-
nous French detective, is said to have
been as follows:
A rich merchant went to him to con-
suit on deficit Of $50, 900 francs, which
he had found on his books. Vidocq
demanded:
'What is the age Of your cashier ?"
"Twenty-fve. But l am as sure Of
him rs of myself; he has also been
robbed. He is victim like myself"
g Are you married?" ?"
"Yes,'
GLOW old is your wife ? Is she hand
some? Is she honest %
''Oh, yes, my wife is virtue itself
honorable, attached to me above"
''Never mind all that; your cashier
is Twenty-Five is your wife handsome ?'
''Since vou insist upon knowing, she
is handsome, but"
"But but no matter about the butts
You wish 10 find your money, don't
You, and you have confidence in me -
"Of course [ have, since [ am here"
every well, then, go back home,
make believe that you are going on Il
journey, and introduce me into the
house"
This was done, the merchant left
home, and Eidocq hid himself in the
closet near the chamber of the lady.
Breakfast was served Il young man
was shown in, and addressed thus by
Madame -
every well, Arthur he is gone, but
he suspects u.s."
The rival of Carpenter went over Il
long circle of love and desolation, con-
Guiding with these words:
{" Only one road is left open for us :;
let us take what is LETT and embark
for
Vidocq stepped out of his place Of
concealment.
Tableau.
"My children be calm, or I'll break
both your heads" said Vidocq. " We
understand each other, | suppose. Now
tell me where is the stolen money"
eve have only 100000 francs left"
replied the woman.
=" Are yor telling the truth 20
"Oh, / swear it,
Very well, give it to me-
The money was given over.
"Now, then, let this affair be forgot
ten; never speak Of it to your husband,
and he shall know nothing. As for you,
sir, give me your delicate little
thumbs %
He placed handouts on the gentle
man, conducted him to Havre, put him
on ship bound for America, and left
him with the French adieu:" Go hang
yourself elsewhere"
Vidocq came to Paris, and handed
the lOO, 900 francs to the merchant, say
ing:
"Your cashier was the thief, but he
had spent $4,000 francs of the money
with a dansvese-I embarked him for
New York"
Afterwards no happier family was
ever known than that Of the merchant.

will be more favorable than that of last

"This looking forward to enjoyment don't

way to be happy is to take the drops of hap

Departed this life in the town, of Pittsbo-

uary, 1867, EDWARD HOOKER, son of Charles
a. and Mary Levers, aged 5 years, 6 months
and "a days ls
Little Eddy was no ordinary child No
child was more attached to his parents, and
none was a greater favorite with his little
associates. Indeed he was the pet, and IA
vorite of all, old and young, who knew him.
Kind, dutiful, obedient, respectful to de-
gree that endeared him to all and no child
was ever followed to the grave with more
regret. He had just finished his first week
at school, where he endeared himself to his
teacher and little school-mates, of whom he
frequently, fondly, spoke during his illness.
It is severe stroke to his fond parents, who
have now followed three sweet little boys
to the grave within the past six years
Sammy, Charley and sweet little Eddy. r.
