Paul Clifford Outlvnc.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Times
relates the following incident which is
vouched for NJ having recently occurred in
New York:
Ash capital illustration OF the manner in
which thieves conduct their little we'll Or
ganized and apparently quite legitimate
calling in Gotham a little affair came under
my observation few days ago wherein n
family in the village of Woodside, on the
Long Island Railroad, were !obbed by bur-
glars Of silver plate and jewel,y. 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 q compliment to their honesty and pro-
fessional skill.
The owner consulted the detective upon
the propriety of causing the arrest of the
thieves, but was peremptorily informed that
such course was not s'honor among
thieves" and would end only in increased
disaster to 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 valuables, and there, in the
presence Of the passengers, who knew
what was going on, the goods were examin
ed, the negotiation happily concluded, and
the money paid. The nonchalant Jack
Sheppard offered their new friend fifty
cent Havana, talked merrily and friendly,
and at the next station bid him good bye in
the most polite manner possible. Has tic-
ton recorded anything more singularly
cool and refreshing than this? Paul Cliff
ford was bungler, compared to a New York
cracksman, and Vidocq's Office wouldbe al
together sinecure among the metropolitan
police.

The Byron Scandal,

The New York Nation, in commenting
upo the story of Mrs. Stowe in regard to
the separation of Lord and Lady Byron,
says:
We were told the main facts of this his
tory something more than ten years ago,
and this was how it was told to us: AT
whatever time the incestuous connection
between Byron and his sister may have be-
gun, Lady Byron knew nothing Of it, as we
heard the story, until after the birth of her
child. Some time after that event, proba-
bly, about the beginning of January, 1916,
Byron told her Of the intrigue, saying that
he had never loved any other woman than
the partner of his guilt. She,
naturally, supposed it to be delusion OF
insanity; and it was under this impression
that she consulted DIR. Baillie about him,
which is one of his main charges against
her in his letters and in Don Juan It was
while under this belief that she wrote the
playful letter to Byron, after leaving him,
which is also one Of the counts in the in
dictment against her. After reaching Kirk
by Mallory, her fathers house, she had GER
tain proofs Of the truth Of what her hus-
band had told her, from which time she
left him for ever.
"Now We do not affirm that this version
of the story is absolutely authentic. We
tell it as it was told to us; but most certain
ly it is inherently more probable than the
one given by Mrs. Stowe. 1t is key to the
whole mystery, and the solution is greatly
honorable to Lady Byron. 1t accounts for
her silence as to to the cause of the separa-
ton. Her lips were sealed rs long as Mrs.
Leigh lived. It accounts for her consulta-
ton with DIR. Baillie and for herletter after
leaving Byron, and before knowing that a
a separation was inevitable. 1t accounts,
too. for DR.. Lushington's statements con-
firmlng her own, saying that n reconcilia-
ton was impossible aud that 1T such an
idea should be entertained he could not,
professionally or otherwise, take any part
towards cffecting it..

TRAGEDY IN PHILADELPHIA.
A Young Man Shoots his Father,

A terrible tragedy occurred in Philadcl
phia OH Tuesday morning near tho scene
of tho Twltcholl murder. Tho family OF
Mr.. Thomas Il. Evans assembled ut break
fast ut tho usual hour, and during tho pro-
gress OF the meal the strange behavior of a
son named Marshall Evans was freely dis
cussed. 1t had been determined that tho
father, after breakfast, should visit tho
family physician, DR.. Van Dyke, in order
to procure certificate of the sons mental
condition, on which no could he removed
to m insane asylum. just as the CONVERSE
ton was concluded Marshall came into the
brcakfhst-rOom and took his seat Mt the
table: His father babe him good morning,
but he made no response, and it 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 Us the body
was lying on the floor he bent over it but
said nothing, and when the police entered
the last words of tho dying man were:
Don't harm my boy, for he didn't know
what he was doing" Young Evans is 2G
years old, has been afflicted with rheuma-
tism for many years, and has recently be-
haved in violent manner to his wife and
members Of his own family. He was with
out donbt insane, for he has been until o
few weeks good son and an affsctionate
husband.

A MAN WITHOUT A BREAS rBONE
Curious Experiments.

Tho following curious physical pheno-
mcna were exhibited before tho American
Science association in Boston last week.
DR.. Groux, II native OF Hamburg, aud ut
present practicing physician i'll Brooklyn,
N. Y, was born without the stnrnllm or
br, ast bone. DIR. J. Baxter Upham, OF
Boston having been intimately acquainted
for many years with DR.. Gronx, has devot-
ed number Of ingenious experiments by
which in his case the action of tho heart Is
made to manifest itself both to tho eyes and
ears of persons situated nj considerable
distance. It should be born III mind that
the notion of the heart in DR.. Groux is per-
fectly normal and healthy while
the absence of the sturnum renders
it possible to make certain studies of
the utmost importance, which are impossi-
bic in the case of the human being as ortli-
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 M audience OF scientific men,
The mechanism of tho heart is somewhat
analogous to that OF double action pump.
In both cases tho machinery, however per-
tcctly it may work, makes some noise. DR..
Groux was able to show three distinct mo-
tons and sounds occurring successfully,
and with q 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 short period, tho ac-
ton OF his heart This was done
tits evening TO the satisfaction Of several
manlicant men, one of whom was listening
with the stethoscope ut the chest, the two
others feeling Mt the wrist for the pulse.
For about 20 seconds the action Of the vital
organ in tho frail chest of DR.. Groux COM
pletely ceased. Some years ago there ex-
listed an individual who WAS wont to exper-
imenting with himself in this manner, aud
who finally persisted through being unable
to resume the ordinary conditions of human
existence. DR.. Upham so far from encour-
aging his friend, DR.. Groux, in the repeti-
ton of this perilous experiment. has ear
nest]y entreated him never to make the
venture again. Some years ago, Dr. Groux
having made up his mind to travel in
various cities of Europe and America,
caused Rufus Choate, tho renowned lawyer,
to draw up will making over his body, i'll
the event of his death, to the surgeons for
dissection. Portions Of this will, which is
q long document composed in Mr.. Choate's
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-
lating to DR.. Groux were given with great
clearDess by that gentleman, who is regu-
larry graduated physician. 1t is clearly OF
great advantage to science that this rare
malformation occurs in one who is SO we'll
qualified to observe the obscure vital pro-
cesses which it affords an opportunity OF
enjoying.

The Late Eclipse-An Old Negro and
His Chickens.
From the Utica Observer, Aug. 81.

crOm the UGlC6 observer, aug ~.
DR.. Peters, the eminent astronomer con-
to observe the late eclipse of the sum-
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 es-
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 no,
but in two minutes and ffty-two seconds
he crowed Justify 1t was very short night
to him.
Saturday morning DR.. Peters requested
an old negro living near his observatory to
watch carefully, his big flock of hens, for
at 445 they would go to roost. After the
eclipse was over he came. evidently much
excited. Glow was it," said the doctor.
'Beats the debil," said the negro. when

last ones dey just squat right down in dc
