very justly tba, the government
charges for 4 registered letter,
and then lit is lost it refuses 70
become responsible FOR the money
enclosed. This is all wrong. The
government in this instance is just
as much q common carrier as are
railroad companies and should be
governed by the same rules. We
believe tina. il the matter was re.
ferrad 70 the cOurts-such courts
as would give honest and truthful
yerdicts - judgments could in
every instance be had against the
government. BY Congressional
action THE government enjoys q
monopoly in the carrying Of the
mails ; an unjust monopoly too,
over individual efforts. By it she
is enabled 70 crowd out those who
could be made responsible, and
made to pay losses and damages.
If a man ships a pair of boots by
an express company and they arc
LOST, the company can be made to
pay for them. The rules should
be the same with reference to pos.
tai matters. II it was a gratuit.
Gus transaction on the part Of
the government and no charge
made it would then be unjust
to exact payn ent for losses, but
it is not 50. The government dc.
mands and receives pay for its
labor in these transactions and
should be made TO assume the re.
sponsibilities connected with, and
part of such contracts. We think
this responsibility should be made
to apply as vigorously to
the transportation of an invita-
ton to dinner, as to q letter con.
tanning 4 draft for thousands Of
dollars. 1t is true that such re.
sponsibility might be the cause of
much fraud practioed against the
government, but we think even il
could be regulated in the same
manner that such things are reg
ulated by other common carriers.
At all events the innocent sender
Of the missive, or valuables should
not be made to suffer, while the
medium Of transportation went
unpublished for his negligence, or
.helt. Why should the general
government be shielded from 4
principle oil common law, which
controls all other IN m CARR
nrs? Make the law applicable to
all cases.

standing the fact of her being New Eng
land girl. he greater part Of her engage
ments ares~est of this city. She has every
thing in her favor-yOuth, beauty, a clear,
pleasant voice, and a charmingly easy, self
possessed manner. Evidently not more
than twenty two, she carries in her face
wOman's strength and tenderness, with
freshness and brightness. At her last lee
tnre in Boston, her light-brOwn hair was
crimped and thrown carelessly back from
the animated face, two heavy braids were
Topped at the back, and between the braids
hung long curls. Her dress of green vel
vet, a color peculiarly becoming to her
clear, brilliant complexion, was mad with
long train. The front breadth was
trimmed with three rows of silk ruchinqs
of the same shade, about three inches in
width, and placed in double half-lozenge
shape. The panier was formed by very
broad, deep sash, which was also orna-
mented by the silk ruchings. The body was
heart-shaped, quite low in the front, with a
dainty ,tulie lOcket, prettily pulled and
edged with delicate lace. The sleeves, coat
shaped to the elbow, were loose, from there
revealing q close lace sleeve, which fastened
tight around the wrist. At her belt she
wore "a small bunch Of natural flowers,
around her neck velvet to which was at
tached . small gold locket. and tiny green
boots peepcd out from beneath the velvet
draperies. Her voice is clear and full, de-
cided1y cOntralto, and she manages it well,
never SCENE tired, nor wearies her listeners

AN AMERICAN FUGITIVE CAPTURED.

Pursuit Of q Fast Young Man to Liver.
peelAHe h Arrested and Is now Re-
suruing to His Native City.
From the New York World.
David s. Eos or, a young man, ran away
from this city about the first of last month,
and took passage in the steamship Italy, of
the National line, taking with him, as is al
legged, some funds belonging to his father.
His father, wealthy merchant, informed
Superintendent KelsO, who at once tele-
graphed to tho authorities in Liverpool to
look out for Foster, who registered his name
ut the shipping agents Office here as Eugene
Lascelles, when buying his cabin ticket.
Detective Garrett Walling, Of the central
Office. was sent to England in the next
steamer to bring Foster back to this city.
The Liverpool authorities, ON receipt of
the Telegram, placed the case in the hands
Of Inspector Carlisle and Detective Thorn
whaite of that city, and they boarded the
steamer on her arrival at the dock, and soon
found Lascelles or Foster, preparing to 60
on shore. Inspector Carlisle informed him
that he was under arrest, when Foster said
81 would like to get q glass Of wine in the
cabin. Will you allow met" Inspector
Carlisle said. "Certainy," and, accompanied
by Detective ThOrnwhaite. they went down
the cabin stairs. Almost as soon as they
passed the cabin door Foster drew q pistol
and presented it at the Inspector. Inspector
Carlisle jumped on Foster and knocked his
arm up. The pistol, large Smith & Wes-
son, exploded, and the ball lodged in the
ceiling OF the cabin. Foster was at once
secured and taken before Mr.. Rafiles, the
presiding magistrate of the Liverpool Cen
trail Police Court.
On the facts of the attempt to shoot In
spector Carlisle being laid before the magis-
trate by that officer, Mr.. Rallies said he
would commit Foster for trial on a charge
of felsnious assault. Inspector Carlisle
stated that an American officer wasexpected
to arrive in day or two to take the prisoner
back to this country, and the magistrate
then said he would commit FOsterW await
the arrival of the officer, at the same time
informing the prisoner that were it not for
the fact Of criminal charge resting against
him in this country, he would undoubtedly
be sentenced to seven years imprisonment
in jail.
Detective Walling arrived in Liverpool
two days after, took charge of his prisoner,
and started with him for this city by the
the Inman steamer, City of Washington,
which is expected to arrive here on Tuesday.
