AN -CONFEDERATE COLONEL Accused
OF FRAUD.-Several weeks ago one An
drew j. Rogers, formerly Colonel in
the Confederate army, came to New
York, with the ostensible purpose Of dis
posing of property on Morris Island s.
c., the whole of which he pretended TO
own. He subsequently went TO Provi-
dence, r. l., and there obtained $500
on draft signed by himself, from real
estAte agent named Frank G. Allen, un-
der the pretense Of leaving valuable
property as security. As these severa
representations were subsequently, found
to be false, search was made for the Col
onel, in the course of which it was aseer-
tained that Rogers had escaped to New
York, where he was followed by officer
Slocum, of the Providence force. This
officer, assisted by detective Farley, of
the Central Office, arrested the fugitive
on Thursday night. He was arraigned

when he consented to 90 back 10 Provi-
dence without waiting the arrival of a

out of the burning of the United States

cember last. 1t will be remembered chat
George Fahnestock and his daughter,
both Of Philsdelphis, persisted upon that
occasion. A passenger upon that trip,
who resides in Cincinnati, has received a
letter inquiring the time of their death,
in order to determine the legal question
as to the distribution Of their estates,
whose ISOLATION depends on whether the
father or daughter died first. This will

SAND IN SUGAR.-A sugar factor in
Boston recently brought suit against q
purchaser for an unpaid balance. The
defendant plead that the balance due was
offset by the quantity Of sand mixed
with the sugar by the plaintiff. The
plaintiffs insisted that they did not war
rant it, and that it contained only the
usual amount of sand to be found in
Manila sugar. The court charged the
jury that if it was sold as Manila sugar
and was sanded only to the extent that
Manila sugar is sanded, that the plaintiff
was entitled to verdict, and he received

itself that the recent Sprague breach of

a first class Chicago husband is one
hundred thousand dollars. This is toler>

divorce records of the Lake City. "a
jury of Illinoisians," says the Tribune,
"who probably would not have awarded
five cents to Chicago giTl-suppOsing q
Chicago girl would have claimed such
man-took into consideration the terrible
disappointment that a Cincinnati lady
aud family must feel in losing a Chicago
husband Of any kind, and therefore gave
her hundred thousand dollars. Had

of Chicago men her loss would not have
been compensated by half million"

EsgliSh Servants.

From Every Saturday
2 erhsps the best servants we have had
ia America during the past twenty wears
were the blsck slaves in the South but
they were exceedingly lazy, Wasteful,
and expensive, SO that have often heard
q Southern planter declare that he was
the real slave forced 10 work for his ne
grOes. But, thirty or forty years sgo.
there were q set of servants, mostly
blacks, attached to Knickerb0Cker fami-
lies in New York and New Jersey, who
were as near perfection as men and Wo-
men can become. Those were the dsVs
of Dutch kitchens, Dutch dishes, Dutch
nsatness, and Dutch h0Csewifery, now
long past, and never to return. With
them faded away the old faithful race OF
servants, who hon0rsd and respected
their employers, snd were hOnOred and
respected by sl. Occasionally one hap
pens upon q descendant Of this race, with
sll the virtues Of the good old stock but
the accident is very rare. | remember

much better than the present race of
servants ia America, that any American
who values his comfort more than his
democracy, would do well to exchange
countries for this reason alone. Never
theless, we are right to fiatter ourselves
that we have no good servants because

think Of thousands OF young men and
