Paul Clifford OUt(lone,

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
relates the following incident which is
vouched for d. having recently occurred in
New York.
AS capital illustration OF the manner III
which thieves conduct their little we'll Or
ganized and apparently quite legitimate
calling in Gotham a little affair came under
my observation a few days ago wherein q
family in the village of Woodside, on the
Long Island Railroad, were robbed by bur-
glars of silver plate and jewelry. The de-
tectives Of course, could obtain no clue
until reward was offered for the return OF
the property, which consisted of gifts and
valued heirlooms in the family. A polite
note was thereupon received from the gen
tlemen burglars expressing their regrets at
the Inconvenience of the owners, and Offer
ing at once to restore the goods, but in re-
gard for their own necessities they would
be compelled to accept the reward offered
as compliment to their honesty and pro-
fessonAl skill.
The owner consulted the detective upon
the propriety OF causing the arrest of the
thieves, but was peremptorily informed that
such q course was not "honor among
thieves" and would end only in increased
disaster 10 all concerned, and equivocally
advised him to take what he could get and
ask no questions. He accordingly, by ap-
pointment, entered the smoking-car of an
afternoon train, and found two nobby
gents, with fancy kids, white hats, diamond
pins, and rings, in charge of basket con-
tanning his lost yaluables, and there; in the
presence Of the passengers, who knew
what was gCing on, the goods were examin
ed, the negotiation happily concluded, and
the money paid The nonchalant Jack
Sheppard offered their new friend q fifty
cent Havana, talked merrily and friendly,
and at the next station bid him goodbye in
the most polite manner possible. Has fic-
tion recorded anything more singularly
cool and refreshing than this? Paul Cliff
ford was bungler, compared to New York
cracksman, and Yidocq's Office wouldbe al

Good Advice. this,

Nobody is more like an honest man than
a thorough rogue. When you see man
with great deal of religion displayed in
his shop window, you may depend upon it
he keeps very small stock of it within.
Do not choose your friend by his looks /;
handsome shoes often pinch the feet.
Don't be fond Of compliments; remember
Thank you, pussy, and thank you,
pussy" killed the cat. Don't believe
in the man who talks most; for
mewing cats are very seldom good
mousers. By no means put yourself In an
other persons power; ifyou put your thumb
between two grinders, they are very apt to
bite. Drink nothing without seeing it, sign
nothing without reading it, and make sure
that 1t means no more than it says. Don't
go to law unless you have nothing to lose;
lawyers houses are built on fools heads. In
any business, never wade into water where
you cannot see the bottom. Putno depend
ence upon the label of a bag; and count
before you buy what is in it; for he who
trades in the dark asks tobe cheated Keep
clear Of the man who does not value his
own character Beware of the man who
swears, he who would blaspheme the
Maker would make no bones OF lying or
stealing. Beware Of no man more than OF
yourself; we carry our worst enemies with
us. When new opinion of q doctrine
comes before you, do not bite till You know
whether 1t Is bread or o stone; and do moi

cause Of the gilt on it. Never shout
halo till you are quite out of the
wood; and never cry fried fish until they
are caught in the net. There is always
time enough to boast--wait little longer.
Don't throw away dirty water till you have
got clean; keep on scraping the roads till
you can get better work; for the poorest
pay Is better than none; and the humblesl
Office is better than being out of employ
ment Always give up the road to bulls
and madmen, and never fight with q coal

Recovery OF Lost Diamond Ring
Through Dream.

A few nights ago lady, while taking q
walk, lost valuable diamond ring from he1
finger In some accountable way. Dilligent
and extensive search was made, without
any clue to the ring, and the lady gave ii
up as gone for good and all. Before da y
light the following morning the lady was
surprised by the calls of her nurse, a small
negro girl. On being admitted to her mis-,
tress, the girl, who had not heard of the
ring being lost, said she had just had o
dream in which she was apprised when,
where, and how the jewel had been lost, aad
that, if allowed she felt sure she ecould find
it. She then described the place and man.
ner in which the ring disappeared, and
begged her mistress to go with her and test
the dream This strange circumstances
was made known to the household but all
treated it with the utmost incredulity. II
was afterward ConCludedto humor the girl,
however, anG. she and several white mem.
bers of the family proceeded to the desig-
mated spot more than one hun
dred yards from the house. Here
the dreamer told her mistress that as di-
rected in her dream, she must drop another
ring, and it would roll as guide to the
missing one. A plain gold ring was hand
ed the girl; she let it fall, and sure enough
it rolled and stopped within two inches Of
the lost diamond ring, which had got into
a crevice between two bricks of the pave
ment. 1t may be imagined that the ring
hunters were somewhat astounded at the
miracle. There is not the least fiction
about this curious dream and its result

A MAN WITHOUT A BREAsTBONE.
Curious Experiments. !.

The following curious physical pheno-
mena were exhibited before the American
Science association in Boston last week.
DR. Groux, native Of Hamburg, and at
present practicing physician in Brooklyn,
N. Y, was born without the sturnum or
breast bone. DR. ]. Baxter Upham, of
Boston having been intimately acquainted
for many years with DR.. GIoux, has devot-
ed q number Of ingenious experiments by
which in his case the action of the heart is
made to manifest itself both to the eyes and
ears of persons situated at q considerable
distance. It should be born in mind that
the action of the heart in DR.. Groux isper-
fectly normal and healthy while
the absence of the sturnum renders
it possible to make certain studies OF
the utmost Importance, which are impossi-
ble in the case of the human being as ordi-
narily constructed. Dr. Groux's case has
been treated of at length in various medical
journals in Europe, but never has it been
brought in such striking manner before
so large an audience Of scientific men,
The mechanism of the heart is somewhat
analogous to that of double-action pump.
In both cases the machinery, however per-
fectly it may work, makes some noise. DR..
Groux was able to show three distinct mo-
tions and sounds occurring successfully,
and with certain rhythm, in every beat of
the heart. DR.. Groux also exercised
the power, rarely bestowed, and never
used without great danger, of stopping
at will, during a short period, the ac-
ton of his heart This was done
this evening to the satisfaction of several
mendicantmen, one ofwhom was listening
with the stethoscope at the chest, the two
others feeling at the wrist for the pulse.
For about 20 seconds the action Of thevital
organ in the fTail chest of DR. GrouX com.
pletely ceased. Some years ago there ex'
isted an individual who was won't to exper'
imenting with himself in this manner, and
who finally perished through being unable
to resume the ordinary conditions OF human
existence. DR.. Upham so far from encour-
aging his friend, DIR. GrOux, in the Tepeti.
ton of this perilous experiment, has ear
nestly entreated him never to make the
venture again. Some years ago, DIR. GrouX
having made up his mind to travel in
various cities of Europe and America,
caused Rufus Ohoate, the renowned lawyer,
to draw up will making over his body, in
the event of his death, to the surgeons fol
dissection. Portions of this will, which il
long document composed in MI. Choate'F
happiest vein, were read to the great de-
light of the audience. The original draft
in the inimitable handwriting Of Mr.
Choate himself, was also exhibited. The
experiments and explanations specially re
ating to DIR. Groux were given with grea
clearDess by that gentleman, who is regu
larly graduated physician. 1t is clearly o
great advantage to science that this rart
malformation occurs in one who is so vel
qualified to observe the obscure vital pro
cesses which it affords an opportunity o.

TRAaEDY IN PHILADELPHIA.
AYoung Man shoots his Father.


A terrible tragedy occurred in Philadel
phia ON Tuesday morning near the scene
of the Twitchell murder. The family Of
Mr. Thomas l. Evans assembled at break
fast at the usual hour, and during tho pro-
gress Of the meal the strange behavior of o
son named Marshall Evans was freely dis
cussed. II had been determined that the
father, after breakfast, should visit the
family physician, DR.. Van Dyke, in order
to procure certificate Of the sons mental
condition, on which he could be removed
to an insane asylum. just as the CONVERSE
tion was concluded Marshall came into the
breakfast-room and took his seat at the
table. His father bade him good morning,
but he made no response, and 1t was
suspected by all present that he had over
heard the conversation. He ate heartily.
and while he was thus engaged his father
left the room to change his dressing-gown
for coat, and procuring his hat, Mr.
Evans started down the front stairway. On
his father reaching the hall landing, Mar
shall walked toward the front door, drew a
revolver and shot at his father three times
in rapid succession. Mr. Evans retreated
through the parlors and fell near the dining
room. His son followed, and as the body
was lying on the floor he bent over it but
said nothing, and when the police entered
the last words of the dying man were;
Don't harm my boy, for he didn't know
what he was doing" Young Evans is 26
years DID, has been afflicted with rheuma-
tism for many years, and has recently be-
haved in q violent manner to his wife and
members OF his own family. He was with.
out doubt insane, for he has been until O
few weeks good son and on aflectionate
! husband.

Tile Late ECllpse-An Old Negro and
His Chickens.
From the Utica Observer, Aug,

From the Utica Observer, Aug. "a.
DR.. Peters, the eminent astronomer con-
nected with Hamilton College, went West
to observe the late eclipse of the sun. -
While there an amusing incident occurred
which is told by gentlemen present at the
time, who says that the effect Of the eclipse
upon the animal creation has been eXagger-
ated. Horses or cattle paid little or no at
tention. Creatures that are accustomed to
go to some particular place at dark did
start for their places, and undoubtedly in
some dismay. Birds were apparently s.
tonished by being suddenly caught out
late, and must have fancied that they had
absent mindedly neglected to notice sun
set, They flew rapidly. An old rooster
took to the fence aud folded himself up,
but in two minutes and fifty-two seconds
he crowed Justify 1t was q very short night
to him.
Saturday morning DR.. Peters requested
an old negro living near his observatory to
watch carefully, his big flock of henp, for
at 4:45 they would go to roost. After the
eclipse was over he came, evidently much
excited. "How was it?" said the doctor.
"Beats the debil." said the negro. when

hole in the barn. The fust ones got in, and
de next ones run ober one anudder and the
last ones dey just squat right down in de

A PickDOcket Dodge,
From the PhiladelphIa Bulletln

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
A few words in regard to tavorite method
adopted by pickpockets, known as "knucks"
to successfully ply their vocation, may
serve to place the public on their guard
against the encroachnents Of these light
fingered gentry. Pickpockets as general
thing are tolerably well dressed, and so far
as outward appearances are concerned,
might readily pass for gentlemen. Those
of the fraternity who have made the pro-
feSsion sort of science, dress with scrupu-
Ions neatness, are at times exceedingly
polite, pleasant in speech, and affect such
unOstentatiousness that they seldom fail TO
make q favorable impression upon society.
There are others who do not come up to
this standard they are simply contederates
or ''palls, their business being to hide the
plunder "faked" by their superiOrs. The
tayorite resort of the fraternity Of pick
pockets for the purpose of pursuing their
profession was for several years the street
cars, generally those which started from
railroad depots Immediately after the arri-
val of trains, or at the places of amusement
at the time of closing. These thieves
would select crowded cars, and so well ar
ranged were their plans that they never
came in contact with each other. At the
present time they deviate little from the
old practice. They do not always Sc
lect crowded cars. They get on the
rear platforms of cars very full,
and insist upon standing there
always being gready with some plausible
excuse, such as 'going TO get off directly"
"only going couple Of squares, or 'it's
too hot there" At such a time their plan
of operation is as follows: The car stops
for one or more passengers, who have some
difficulty in effecting an entrance. The
crowd opens the way, and as the passenger
passes onward his hat is pushed from be-
hind 30 as to nearly cover his forehead
This Ia SO adToitly accomplished by the
thlefas to throw the passenger aforesaid
of his guard. He puts his hand MP to re-
adjus his tile, and at the same instant the
scientific "knuck" relieves him Of his
pocket-book or other valuables, which he
bandst to his pal, who gets off and disap-
pears
The hat-tipping business isquite favor
ite practice, although it is not always at
tended with success. Persons who meet
with such an event, either in getting on
railroad cars, or while waiting at ticket
Offices in depots or at places of amusement,
should remember these words OF caution.
In case any one should feel his hat move
from behind. in the manner above stated,
whether on crowded platform or any
other place, as already indicated, let that
person Immediately turn around to the one
behind him and say, I'm on that myself
After that he may feel perfectly secure from
further annoyance on that occasion
