To-day that she made shirts for six and a

little children.
4 mother told me to-day that she made
satin vests, that sold for five dollars and fifty

THE HARNDEN EXPRESS RoBBERY-AR-
REST OF Two ALLEGED RoBBERs.--Two par
ties supposed to be connected with the rob-
berry of Mr.. Richard Pattison, the money
messenger of the Harnden Express Com
pany, in this city on Wednesday morning
last, have been arrested and brought to
Baltimore. On Wednesday last, when the
wcstward-bound train Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad reached Hoods Mills, some
miles above Ellicott City, two men, very
muddy and wet, entered the car without
tickets and paid the conductor their Fare TO
Wheeling. They were at once suspected,
and the fact of their being on board was
tcle"raphed to ali agent Of the express com
pauy. The two men procured bllnks III tle
slceping-car, but when the tram TOOK the
siding ut Swanton to allow an eastern-Douhu
train to pass, they suddenly left, when was
not discovered until some time afterwards.
Swanton is in rather a wild district OF coun-
try, a search was commenced for the mss
ing men. Some time during Thursday TWO
countrvmen succeeded in finding ana ar-
resting them and taking them TO SWahloll.
The prisoners were brought to this Guy
Saturday evening. The man who rented
the room on Charles street, in when the
robbery was committed, and who gave his
name as George j. Howard, is one OF the
Darties arrested. The name OF the other
man in custody is Dawson. 1t is understood
that only a small portion of the money mas
been as vet recovered.-BnHanl0re bu'', 24te'

wAsHBuRNE AND REPLY OF NAPOLEON.
NEW YORK, May pa special to the
Herald, from Paris yesterday, says that
United States Minister Washburne was pre-
scnted to the Emperor that day.
Mr.. WaShburne said he had been autho-
rized to express the hearty wishes OF the

pincss and health of the Emperor, and for
the prosperity Of France, and the earnest
desire of the Government and people of the
United States to maintain and cultivate
amirabe relations with France, and to up
hold and perpetuate the traditional friend
ship of the two countries. He trusted,
while guarding the interests conflded to
him, his residence near the court OF his Ma
jesty would contribute to the continuance
of existing friendly relations.
The Emperor replied that ne was glad TO
welcome Mr.. Washburne as the representa-
tive of the United States, and pleased to re-
ceiye assurances of the friendship of Go

The NORFOLK AND ST. LOUIS RAILROAD
At the last session of Congress Il bill was in
troduccd chartcrinS the Norfolk, Louisville,
and st. Louis railroad. We referred to it ut
the time, in connection with other stupcn-
dous Norfolk enterprises. The bill was not
acted upon, but Is expected to pass at the
next session. 1t provides that work shall
be commenced within one year, and COM
plctcd within six years. from the date of the
incorporation. In Washinton's time it was
proposed 10 unite the Atlantic with the Ohio
over substantially the same route, aud it i
this route that has lately been recommended
in Virginia for combined railroad and
canal, as set forth in late numbers of the
North american.
The route to he followed is generally that
of the Kanawha, james, and Ohio rivers. a
glance at the map will show what this il.
The argument sustaining the effort is that
this route brings st. Louis four hundred
miles nearer to the sea than 10y New York,
and thus enables her TO compete with Chi
cage. 1t is further claimed that, so soon 4,
the st. Louis railroads have been connected
with the Pacific road, the distance from
Norfolk to San Francisco ca st. Louis vii
be five hundred miles shorter than from
New York to the same destination. Thi,
saving Of distance is certainly enough to ai'
feet trade seriously. -Phllddclphud Norn

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE At
MOUNT HOLLY, n. J.-Loss OF L1FE.-On
Friday last IN engine of the Camden and
Burlington county (New Jersey railroad
exploded its boiler while passing near Mount
Holly. The engine was raised from the
track and thrown violently into the air, and
descended upon the track with tremendous
force, breaking ties, bending rails, and seat
tering pieces of machinery in every dlrec-
ton. Again >pringing into the air, it made
several revolutions, and finally lodged III

dred feet from where the explosion oc-
Cured. The cars were thrown together
in one confused mass. The engineer, job
Goskil, and the fireman, Charles l.. Piatt,
were both fatally injured, and have since
died. The conductor, John Sayler, Is very
seriously hurt, but hopes are entertained OF
his recovery. Mr.. Sayler was thrown under
some cars and rubbish, and was only eNtri-
Gated with great difficulty he was seriously
scalded, and his face and head were cut Sc
verely. The ig-top brakeman, Edward
Joyce, was blown with the gig into al adj

arm. There were five others on different parts
of the train who escaped with slight bruises,
The explosion was caused by too great Il
pressure of steam, it being necessary for
heavy trains to put on a full head IN conse'

win be remembered that the case OF j. u.
lIalpnc and others was submitted to PrcSl-
dent Grant through Judge Cartier, of Gin

patches to Minister Johnson, and directed
him 10 try to secure the release of the prl-
soncrS. Mr.. Johnson Immediately laid the
matter before the English Government.
After considerable delay he received III re-
ply 4 communication containing list oi
about twenty prisoners whom it did not
propose TO release under any circumstances
Among these were lialpinc, Catlcrty, Shaw,
and Burke. Subsequently Mr.. johnson
made second attempt, and received Sc
cond answer rcItcrating the determination
of the English Government to make no more
releases OF FcnanS. III closing his dispatch
TO Mr.. Fish conveying this last Information,
Mr.. Johnson expressed the hope that this
action would be reversed 1T no distant day,
and at least part Of the prisoners be released.

New SORT OF HYDRoPHOBIA.-Was hin%-
ton, it seems, is not the only city sutlcrin"
from the "do@ nuisance" New York i
thoroughly aroused in consequence of many
recent eases of hydrophoba, and the autho-
rites Of that city have been appealed to, TO
take some steps for the protection of the
citizens. \ remarkable feature of the ny
drophobia which during the winter created
so much alarm in New York and other
cities was that the animal, to the bite of
which the victims of the disease traced their
malady, i'll many cases never eXhlbltcd
symptoms of madness. This showed that
the bite Of the dog, in certain conditions OF
that animal, may communicate deadly
virus, without the dog itself suffering
from the disease it conveys; or that
the person bitten, in order that hydropho-
bil shall be developed, must himself be in a
peculiar state of health or, further, that 1t
may be requisite that there shall be III the
dog and the human being coincident condl-
tons necessary to the appearance OF the dis
ease in the latter. No matter what theory
shall he adopted, the fact is beyond question
that the bite of dogs in winter, as well as III
summer, is poisonous, whether the animal
actually labors under hydrophoba or not.
This is now admitted, and proper precall-
tons should be taken to guard the public
against so fearful 4 malady as hydrophobla.
This subject was under consideration in
the Alexandria (Va) City Councils at their
last meeting, and they have adopted the
mild preventive measures of II $3.50 tax on
each canine. Mr.. Mckenzie said there
must be no discrimination as to the sex OF
the animal, for, according to the assessors
books, there were no female dogs in the
city, and that to preserve the souls of the
people and keep them from lying the tax on
male and female dogs must be the same

4 story which is told about town will

whom he appoints or removes. 1t is said
that Hon. J. B. 1lawley, Radical member
from the fourth district, waited on the Pre-
sdent some time ago with the announce
mcnt that he chad come to talk n little
about the appointments in his district
The President said he was very willing to
accede to the wishes of his friends; but, said
he, "Mr. Hawley, there is one request you
must not make. 1 do not want to remove
Jack Grimshaw, collector of your district.
He is good Republican and an honest man,
and I will not have him disturbed" Then
SAYS Mr.. Hawley, 20 Well, Mr.. President, l
will not ask you to distur b Mr.. Grimshaw,
for the very good reason that you removed
him from office ten days since andappointcd
his successor, who has been confirmed by
the Senate" How the interview terminated
