Capt. John Frey, special agent of the post
Office department arrived in this city on
Saturday evening, having in charge VIM.
A. Lane, postmaster at Bland Court House.
This is q case that has annoyed the depart
ment at Washington for over year-a
great may registered and money letters hay
ing been distracted from the mall in that
neighborhood. Through Capt Frey's per-
severance and indciatigable energy it has
been discovered, and the depredator brought
to grief. We, again congratulate the depart
ment upon having SO valuable an officer,
whose services have proved SO successful.
He deserves much credit for the shrewdness,
skill and adroitness he has displayed in fer
reting out these mail robbers, bringing them
to Justice, and thus protecting the interests
of the public and Of the Government. We
understand that our young friend Eugene
Lewis, Esq, of the Richmond office was
with Captain Frey during this last arduous
raid, and. rendered valuable assistance by
standing on picket while the Captain was
skirmishing. Richmond State Journal.

How the Best Liquors are Made.

An exchange says that there may be seen
daily on Chestnut street, Philadelphia, a
man clad in faultless apparel, with great
diamond upon his breast, vainly endevoring
TO outglitter the magnificent solitaire upon
his finger. ...',
In German university, he learned chem
istry, and not even Liebeg knew it better.
His occupation is the mixing AMI the adul-
teration of liquors. Give him dozen casks
of deodorized alcohol, and the next day,
each of them will represent the name of a
genuine wine or popular spirit. He enters
a wholesale drug store, bearing a large
basket on his arm. Five pounds of Iceland
moss are first weighed out to him. d. .s.
To raw liquor, this imparts degree of
smoothness, of olcaglnousness, that gives to
imitation brandy the glibness of that which
is best matured. An astringent called cat
chu. that would almost close the mouth of
an inkstand, is next in order A couple of
ounces of strychnine next called for, are
quickly conveyed to the vest pocket, and a
pound of sulphate of zince (white vitrioD is
as silently place in the bottom of the basket.
The oil of congnac, the sulphuric acid, and
other articles that give fire and body to the
liquid poison, are always kept in store
These things are the staples of his art, and
the mixer buys them at different places.
Chemistry alone discovers the cheat.

Turning the Tables at a Wedding.

Near Fosters store in Chatham county, re.
sides well to do planter named Kenniff,
who Is the father OF beautiful girl of nine
teen, the belle of the nelghborhood. Two
years ago, her heart was won by youno
man, and the father opposed the match. the
lover being poor. The lover urged his suit
IN vain, and as last resort went to Virginia
to see rich aunt, and persuade her to set.
tie enough upon him to enable him to claim
the woman OF his choice. Hr.
Now, there chance to be another suitor in
the person of the son of another farmer of
considerable means, who resides in the ad-
joining neighborhoed. Him the mcrcenary
father favored. In fact, he looked with
qualification upon the attentions received
by his daughter from this source, and be-
sought her to accept the young mans pro-
posals.
Several weeks elapsed after the departure
of the favored lover, and no letter reached
her pining at home The young planter,
together with the father, so worked upon
the mind of the bewildered girl that she at
last acceded to the demands of her parent.
Arrangements were made for the wedding
to take place at once :
The day arrived, and while the party were
in waiting for the clergyman, young man
rode up to the gate dismounted, and came
hurrledly up to the house. 1t was the mis-
sing lover, who brought substantial proof
of the generosity of his relative in the East
A scene ensued The girl did not faint, but
she gave the waiting bridegroom, who
stood by, arrayed in splendid suit of
broadcloth, such startling proofs of the af
lection which she entertained for his rival,
that he fed from the house. leaF.s j

consoled There was feasting in the

he wanted no row in there. 4. They went out,
but soon returned, and commenced making

The gun was charged with small shot, and

The Prosecution of the Israelites in Rus

We hope i is not true that the Russian
Minister to this country has denied that any
.cruelties have been practiced toward the
Jews by his own government, because that
would imply a lack of information on his
part relative to the events actually trans.
piring in the dominions of his master. The
cruel treatment of the Jews in Western
Russiahas been subject of comment for
some time in Europe. One writer saws iIn s.
"Sucll heartrending. brain-maddenlng
