SINGULAR CASE OF DETEoTIoN.-The
following singular case Of detection
which occurred in this city recently,
has never before appeared in print. A
young clerk in a Boston commercial
house absconded with $1,000 for parts
unknown. The firm suspecting that be
had gone to New York ts~legraphed to a
detective in this city the circumstances
of the case and a description of the
youth. But so improbable did his ar
rest appear in a large city where there
were hundreds Of persons Of like de-
scription, and with not the slightest
clue to his whereabouts, that the detec-
tive pocketed bis order as II hopeless
job. That very evening, while he was
riding up Broadway in an omnibus,
three young fellows got in, evidently
flush, and on a bender" The detec-
tive paid no attention to them, simply
noticing that the leader "a called
Johnny" After riding with them a
few blocks It suddenly occurred to him
that Joh6ny's appearance answered the
description of the Boston clerk, but be-
yond q general similarity there was no
other ground Of suspicion. He con-
cluded, however, to use o little strategy
10 the matter, and turning around ex-
tended his hand with a smile to the
young man, and said, How are you
Johnny, when did you come from Bos-
toni / used to see you in Browns
there, but perhaps you don't remember
me-" Johnny at first was nonplussed
at this unexpected recognition, but re-
gained his confidence after the detective
had entered into o general conversation
about Boston, although he could not re.
call the strangers countenance. Little
by little, and in a very unconcerned
way, the detective drew out all the facts
be wanted, and found that Johnny"
was his man. As he rose to get out Of
the stage be asked tho youth to accom-
pany him, which the latter regretted he
could not do as some companions were
with him. The detective then whis-
pered a word ip Johnny's ear to his ut
tor dismay and surprise. But denial
was useless; he confessed his guilt,
was arrested and returned to Boston

THE New York Sun urges Horace
Greeley for Minister to England. We
second the acknowledging tina,
Horace will come nearer representing
America in Europe than any man that
has been there since the days Of ''Old
Ben Franklin" But Horace must get
some new clothes, as We Americans all
dress in modern fashion. The old gray
coat, all buttoned down before, the
white cravat with the knot behind the
left ear, and n end pointing back over
the left shoulder, and the other stand

ward the left eyebrow, won't do, when
a shocking bad hat caps the climax.

WOULDN'T BE ARREsrED.-About two
o'clock yesterday morning n high-toned
youth from the State Of Nevada, who
gave his name as Martin Van Buren, AL
len, kicked up a terrible rumpus in the
vicinity of the Union Concert Hall, on
h street. near Third. He desired to
gain admittance to the saloon after its
close and refused to leave, insisting on
Kicking the door down. Karcher and
Van Horn advised him to go away, but
instead he abused the officers and made
an assault with a penkuife on Van. Two
or three thugs sent him on the
ground and a severe struggle ensued for
the possession Of the knife. He was
finally taken to the st~atiou-house, and
this morning will answer before Judge
Foo,e for his foolish conduct.
