A NEW swNDLER, named Charles Norton,
has appeared in Philadelphia. He leases a
store and house for five years, and then has
the store fitted up IN an elegant style for
the confectionery business. When the
work is well under way he advertises for
lady to take charge of the store and reside
in the house. The salary is fixed at very
liberal amount, but 500 is first required as
security. Upon one of the stores which
had been taken in this manner, the work
ordered in alterations, &C., would cost at
least 81, 500. On Thursday, no less than
six stores were being fitted up by his or
ders, and as no money had been paid to
the carpenters, they are also victims of the
swindler. AS far as known five women
have been duped. A widow lady with six
children, had only So She gave them to

A JAPANESE MILLIONAIRE AFTER A FRENCH
.ANGEL-The Paris correspondent Of the
New York Evening Mail gives publicity to
the following; There is rumor abroad of
a character to excite decided sensation in
the Partisan. We hear that a Japanese
worth $500, 900, 900, is en-route for France
IN search of French girl for wife. She
must be not more than Is years of age, and
need have no fortune, but must be accom-
plished and beautiful, modest and UMPIRE
tending-in fact, a sort of model of perfec-
ton. A Polish count, aged fifty, came TO
Paris few years ago, in search of the same
rdrd aus. He found it, Of course. An ex-
perienced beldam managed to foist her niece
upon the Count, who had no sooner mar
RED the charming creature than he was I'M
deceived. The fair damsel could not lift
her eyes to look her wooer in the face, and
the wife threatened to tear her lawful
spouse's eyes out In the selection of the
trousseau, which was furnished entirely by
the Count, the delicate girl would have no
thing but articles of extreme simplicity; af-
ter the marriage she made bills for S., 900
worth of cashmeres and laces. The Count
(Welnas by name) sued for q separation on
the ground of deception and treachery, and
also on the grave charge that the young
miss had had several lovers before being
married. The suit was in court for year,
when the Count obligingly died, leaving his
widow and two children an estate of about
100000. If our Japanese 'fCelebs" is not
''cuter" than our Polish one, won't he
catch Tartar which he might have had
without coming more than half the distance
overland.

DEATH OF A MORMON. c. Kimball
Second President" of the Mormon com
munity, whose death at Salt Lake City was
announced recently, was one of the orig
inal converts to the doctrines of Joseph
Smith. Thirty-six years ago, when Nor
monlsm was III its infancy, Brigham Young
and Kimball embraced the new faith, and
they have since been the leaders of the
Saints" sharing equally in the dangers
and privations which have fallen to the lot
OF the Mormons, but not reaping equal
profit; for while Brigham amassed wealth,
and became the acknowledged leader of
thousands of persons, Kimball was forced
to content himself with smaller share of
worldly prosperity, and the second place in
the kingdom" Brigham's pre-eminence,
however, was inevitable; for he not only
e1cels in culture, but also in that peculiar
power of will or magnetism which makes
possessor the leading spirit of his place and
time. Kimball was uneducated, boorish
and often vulgar; and although he was
fluent speaker and delighted in public har-
argues, his actual influence was limited
His son recently accompanied Brigham
Young, Jr., III a mission to England.
kimball was native of Vermont, and in
his 9th year at the time of his death The
Second Presidency, now vacant, is likely
to be filled By one of the younger.

The Execution of Major Andre-By an

three years old, conveyed to their last rest

Jor Andre was executed in the revolution.
She had distant recollection of that event,
though she was SIX years of age at the time
Doubtless there is not another person now
living who witnessed the execution Some
ten years ago. very old lady, Mrs Yer
bruyck, who occupied Washingtons Head
quarters at Tappan Town, and with whom

saw Andre hung and had perfect recollec-
ton OF all the sad circumstances. oh, he
was most lovely man, she said, and was
as gentle and kind as he could be. The
morning he was to be hung, l took him
over four beautiful peaches-it was the sec
ond day of October. He thanked me most
sweetly, broke one of EN- and tried to eat
it; but somehow he didn't seem to have no
appetite He was very handsome and polite.

met, writes our correspondent, ''these aged
ladies never ceased to lament that General
Washington didn't permit him to be shot
instead of dying on the scaffold" 1T was
his last request, added Mrs. Verbruyck,
and until he looked up the gallows, with
a shudder, as the cart came on the ground

THE ANGEL OF SLEEP.

de droOps his plumy, snow-soft wings,
he waves his balmy hand,
And wide the gate Of silence swings
That guards the shadOwy land.
FORGOT Is Time, the sentinel
That stands outside the door;
The gloomy train Of cares as well
That clOgged our steps before;
- river Of oblivion
Thy draughts are sweet and deep,
For Memory slumbers on her throne,
Rocked by the Angel Sleep.
There is j face whose loneliness
Is maFred by hues Of care;
But Sleep hath swept il with his kiss
and made il smooth and fair.
There Is 8 worn and weary brain,
That rests until the morn
There Is a heart that beats with pain,
That feels no more fOrlorn,
Oh Deaths fair brOtheri how divine
Must be that sluulber deep,
More sweet, more calm, more free than thine,
When his beloved sleep.
