WANTED AT HOME.
"Ey Johnny was a Bar Tender, and He
has Gone from Me-"

An old gentleman named Cook came to
this city night before last in search of a
truant minor son, whose given name is
John, and who had been for nearly a year a
stranger to the parental roof. Procuring
the assistance of the detective force ho
soon fOundh mis- precious son, acting in the
capacity of bartender at the Metropolitan
saloon on Second street, near Jefferson.
The youth was 10th to go with his pater-
nal guardian, even when told by him that
his mother lay at the point Of death, and
wanted TO see him. The old gentleman had
the authority, however, and iugged him
away.
The story ofthis youth is rather curious.
He comes of respectable and wealthy pa
rents, who formerly lived in Dubuque,
Iowa. About a year ago, Johnnie being
then about nineteen years of age, ran
away from them, and made his way to
Milwaukee, taking with him as cOmpGgHoH
du UOvd1e, the daughter of a preacher, a
fair and frail DUbWfuiGa. After living
awhile with him, his paramour
saw another mar that she liked
better, and levanted, leaving Johnnie
desolate. Half broken-hearte0, he made
his way to Cincinnati, where ne fell in
with one Nellie Raymond, a variety
girl" who had been a dancer, but grow
ing too fat had abandoned the ballet and
took to ballads. Here he found his
'.trewe love, ''andt the twain ca me TO Mem
phis. She obtained an engagement at the
Parlor Music Hail, and he loGfed at first.
The Metropolitan, however. next door.
offered the pair an engagement-to him as
bartender, and the accomplished Nellie a
''posish" on the boards. Here they lived
as happy as two bugs in an old rug, until
the paternal Cook came down on them
like a wolf on the fold, and cooked young
Cooks goose, as related above. Nellie
was left disconsOlate, and nearly cried
her eyes u The last we saw OF her she
was sitting on IN empty beer key, sob

RoBBERY.7
The Officers Said TO be in League with the
Thieves.

We have received the following detail
ed account of a robbery which is said tC
have occurred on the steamer Belle of st,
Louis on her last down trip. We publish
it that the officers may have IN opportun-
ity of explaining their conduct in the
premises;
"ON BOARD STR. BELLE ST. LOUIS,
Near Memphis. Dec. 9, 1869.
shortly after leaving the levee at st.
Louis, DR.. II. c.. Moore and Mr.. John i.
Wade missed their trunks. They imme-
diately notified the officers of their loss,
but received no encouragement. They
then instituted a search themselves but
no trace Of the missing property could be
found. Sunday night, however, when the
boat stopped for coal. two negroes were
seen to come on board who Immediately
went aft to the negro-quarter. Shortly
after they started to go on shore with two
bundles. They were stopped and the
bundles opened and found 10 con-
tain a part of the missing property. On
being questioned as to where they got
the things they pointed to two negroes
named Charles Willis and Mat Williams.
The mate was notified of the facts, and
his assistance asked to ferret out the gull
ty parties and recover the goods; but he
cOolIy replied that he could do nothing in
the matter but simply pay them off and
put them ashore. He was then requested
TO put them in irons, or detaintnem under
lock and key until the boat arrived at
Memphis. This he also positively refused
TO do. The negroes, becoming embold-
ened by the conduct of the mate, actually
made threats of violence toward the pas
sengers ifthey persisted in making any
further attempts toward searching for the
missing property. The goods stolen con-
sited of two hand trunks and a buggy
seat which was taken out ofthe buggy on
deck. There is no doubt whatever, judg-
ing from the conduct of the mate, but that
he is in league with the thieves,
for he actually assisted the Williams, Who'll {
appears are particular favOrites of his, in
making their escape from the boat he
same night. when the passengers endeav-
