collection Of the revenue. Good men
have been selected for officers, and we
may confidently expect the work of re.
form thoroughly accomplished. The
President has never been known to do
anything by halves.
There has been some complaint in the
ranks of the party at the distribution of
the offices, but this inevitably falls to the
lot of any Administration. Disappointed
office seekers have talked freely, and cor
respondents for the press have generously
aired their grievances. This is best-the
press acts as safety valve. Our own cor
respondents have done their share of this
work, and doubtless some people have
been made happy in consequence. Wedo
not suppose anybody misunderstood the
character of their services. a.
Upon the whole, therefore, there is every
reason for Republicans to be thankful
that at last they have an administration
which truly represents the liberal ideas OF
the age, and which is unselfshly seeking
to administer the laws in the interest of
the people. Cincinnati Chronicle, April

DODGEvILLE, WISCONSIN, FRIDAY MAY 7, 1869.

even the chief-constable's vigilance had
failed to-
All. that face! There was no mistak-
ing those very strikingly marked features
II was, without doubt, her late admirer,
the ribbed face baboon; and, whether
from motives of delicacy or fear, Mrs.
Stott did dive under the bedclothes then,
with only her nose left out to breathe
through. like the elephant when under
water. as Mr.. Shaw had instructively in
formed her not three hours ago.
She could hear little, however, as well
as breathe and she distinctly caught the
ouiet chuckle of her visitor, and the chink
of her rings as he swept them off the
dressing-t table with his hairy paws. Pres
emily, there was shrill whistle from be-
low, and the chuckling ceased and then
came the sliding, scrambling noise again.
The ribbed face baboon had put the rings
in his mouth-having no pocket-and slid
down the water spout to his master with
the spoil.
"John," cried Mrs. Stott, when the
chief constable put in his long-wished for
appearance, and as soon as he had got in
side the door, GIVE found it all OUT
"Pshaw!' said her husband contempt
uously.
"Lor," cried she, "well, you are won
der! How ever did yoW find out it was
Mr.. Shaw and his ribbed face baboou?"
"Never you mind ma'am," rejoined Mr..
Stott, with his old confident air; haUe
found it out. And now let me hear how
far your testimony goes in confederation
of my views"
The next day, "from information re-
ceived," as he darkly limited, the chief-con-
stable apprehended the keeper of the
menagerie, and searched his house on
wheels with such effect that all the stolen
property was recovered. Mr.. Shaw, it
appeared, had trained the ribbed-faced
baboon to- climb up water-spouts and
sweep from dressing tables all articles that
glittered, which accounted for his taking
the plated inkstand and the municipal
mace. If his education had been suffered
to progress, he would doubtless in time
have been taught to carry off bank-notes
and railway dividends. But, thanks to
Mrs. Stott, his occupation was henceforth
gone. The chief constable, however, got
all the credit for the discovery, and was
held by everybody, including his wife, in
higher estimation for sagacity than ever.
1t was true that he had been at fault at
first, and in more than one instance; but
then, as he himself observed: "I may
still say as no man ever took me in twice,
for this was not Man, but Hape."
The above curious incident happened at
Shrewsbury in 1884, and was without
doubt the circumstance on which Edgar
Poe founded his famous story of "The
Murder in the Rue Morgue" - Chambers

MIR. JOHN sTOTYS DIFFICULTY.

LESS than forty years ago, in certain
west country town of England, lived Mr..
John Stott, head of the constabulary, so
astute thiefcatcher that his friends
thought it pity he should throw his wits
away upon provincial vagabonds, and not
give them broad and noble scope as Bow
Street runner. His enemies, the local
scoundrels, thought the same; but con-
tented themselves with observing darkly
that "he was 80 sharp that he would one
day probably cut himself" or that he
was too clever to live" In spite of these
intellectual advantages, or in consequence
of them, Mr.. Stott was as vain as peacock,
and made the not uncommon mistake of
imagining himself even cleverer fellow
than he really was. He kept the little
town flor it was q little one then) SO clear

WE have heard of several instances
lately of the first use made of the good
fortune which has attended some of the
White Pine adventures that show the
better side of human nature. One man,
who had lost his grip and had become
worthless by drink was accosted, one day,
by friend, and told that he could do
nothing here {; he had no credit and no
influence, and few friends; he had better
60 to White Pine. His adviser offered
to furnish money enough out of his own
moderate earnings to take him there,
and would look after his family in the
meantime. The man went, under promise
not to spend dime of the money so furnish
ed for drink. After while he got hold of
some claims, began to make small remit
tances to his friend, enough in all to liqui-
date the Indebtedness for his outfit. At q
still later day he returned to the city, paid
all arrearages for family expenses, met his
old friend, and told him that from the hour
he had been taken by the hand he had
never spent cent for liquor. If he had
not done much he had become sober
man. The friends parted at the steamboat
landing; the White Pine man returning.
In the hurry of the moment, he recollected
that he had small package for his wife's
friend, which he had nearly forgotten.
The package contained deed for the
house and lot occupied by his benefactor.
The property was worth about eight thou
sand dollars. o6
Another dead broke" man recently
returned from White Pine, and, meeting
one of his creditors, began to talk about
the old Indebtedness. The creditor said
that the account was long ago outlawed,
and he had quite forgotten the particu-
lars. White Pine said that made no diff
ference. He had to come down with
$4,000 in hand to pay his debts. His
first business was to hunt up every cred
itor, paying him principal and interest,
declaring thst he had no right to count a
dollar as his own until he had paid all his
debts.
We have heard of many other in
stances quite as notable. Now, if White
Pine is going not only to develop mil
lions of treasure, but is really going to
help develop what is best In human ma
ture, there will be no estimating the value
of these new discoveries. 1t may yet
fall to the lot of some ingenious moralist
to consider of White Pine as a "means
of grace. San Francisco Bulletin.

TIE CASE OF THE CLERICAL Book THIEF
Among the bills Of indictment returned this fore
noon by the grand jury was one against Isaac j.
Slime, the ex-clergyman, charging him with lar
ceny of books from the stores of Little, Brown &
Co., Edward P. Dutton Co., and Joseph Camp
bell. Upon being arrsigned Slime pleaded guilty
TO a part of the charges, but not guilty to the
Indictment as drawn. He also desired to plead
n0lO cOatendere, but Judge Lord said that plea
could not be taken. Hon. VIM. Brigham addressed
the court in behalf of Slime. He said that the par
ties from whom Slime had stolen books requested
that the indictment be placed upon file and Stine
be allowed to go on probation.
Judge Lord remarked thai the prisoner had
pleaded not guilty, and the case stands moth
ing in that direction could be done.
District Attorney May said that the case was
rather an unusual one. He had reason TO believe
from what had been stated to him by reliable par
ties that the character OF Slime had been good
heretofore. He was in the divinity school at Cam
bridge, coming from the Lutheran denomination
in " whieh be had been preacher. He has q res
pectable family and in every respect the case Is
one, be said, wnere the ends of justice will be as
fully attained by placing the unfortunate man on
probation as to send him to the state prison. He
purchased books at these places until he found an
opportunity TO steal some. But he has made or is
willing TO make restitution, and the parties from
whom he stole have interested themselves so far
as to come into court and say that justice does not
require that he should be punished any further,
and that they would be satisfied if he could have
an opportunity TO go at large and be allowed to

James Freeman Clark had interested himself in
bis behalf, and the district attorney said he be-
lieved it was case in which the best course for
the governments to pursue 10 70 have Slime put on
probation.
Judge Lord said il was q question for the dis.
trict attorney to decide. 1t may be case where
the prisoner should go unpunished; but the fact
that he has been clergyman should be against
him. The fact that he preached morality aud
then stole makes him a notorious thief. Judge
Lord refused TO advice in the matter, and ex-
pre- ssed himself as not reisbng the duty which ob
liged him 10 send rsgamufiin who had nothing to
eat to the honse of correction because he steals
loaf Of bread to keep him from starving, and then
discharge criminal clergyman and allow him to
go home. The court lett the matter with the dis.
irct attorney to decide. II he moved for sentence
the court will have to pass the same but IL il Is
thought to be proper case for probation the
court will deem the district attorneys reasons
Sufficient and grant the request.
