CURIOUS STORY OF THIEF-THE MosT
MISERABLE MAN.-Some weeks ago Jacob
K. Bear, telegraph operator and express
agent at Brownsville, Nebraska, absconded
one night with $4,000 left in his hands as
agent. He directed letter to the paper at
that place, stating that there were ninety nine
chances of his arrest to one of his safe escape
with his plunder, but for that $4,000 he
would take one chance in hundred. He
wrote: wont this affair of mine make you a
nice little local item,"
When the company heard Of their loss they
at once set active measures afoot TO capture
Bear, but failed. Lately, however, he has
sent letter to the Brunswick Advertiser. In
it Bear states that losses in gambling led him
to commit the theft. He states that one OF
the packages he stole contained $4,000 and
writes:
"But the best maturei plans often fail; and
now comes the most incredible part OF nv
statement. The package $500 was soldered
up in zinc box the exact size of the pack
age, and l had about one thousand dollars
besides. 1t is natural to suppose that was
true, for as was getting Inro a sKIH my TUuI
slipped, and dropped the box containing the
$4,000 in the Missouri river.
"In conclusion l will say this: am where
1 am making money fast, and before the ex-
piratiOn OF ten years every dollar ofthat mon
ey will be returned to the United States Ex-
press Company. If die my life is insured
in favor Of the United States Express Com.
pany for an amount greater than they have
lost.
II ask the sympathy of no one, but am al
ready fearfully punished, not knowing what
moment l will be arrested for my crime. And
what then? The State Prison, or suicide, i
prefer it. will also state why wrote the
note to Holiday & Calhoun in the braggado
clio style that did. WANTED to kill all tn,
love and respect that my wife had ever enter
tanned for me, and thereby lessen the sorrow
or anxiety that she might feel for me aftel
she became aware of what had done. Yor
who have up to this time thought or imagined
what luxurious life am no doubt leading
are for once disappointed, as am one of tn,
most miserable criminals on the face of thu
earth!"

ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP THE REBELs.-Sey
eral letters in the st. Paul Press relate the
story of the preparations made in the store Of
DR.. Schultz, of Winnipeg, to blow up the rebels
The store and adjoining residence had been
converted into garrison, occupied by some
sixty men, mostly Canadians. When the
store was surrendered to General Riel large
quantities of gunpowder were found hidden in
the flooring, under the carpets, in the very
ashes of the fireplace and adjacent to it-more-
over, revolvers and firearms of every descrP-
ti,n, loaded and placed in position 70 oois Js-
stroy life. "But though the weather , wss colu,
our men continued to search beiore anoruing
themselves the comforts Of hre Ell III tne stoves.
By an evident inspiration OIL DlVlne Provi-
dence. they examined even the stove pipes,
and what think you did they find? Flasks of
nowder stuffed up through the pipes, as well
as firearms, loaded rifles, sixteen shooters, & c.,
arranged so as to destroy those in the house.
Moreover in the vicinity OF the pipes, and i'm
mediately within reach of the fire, they dis
covered several kegs of gunpowder, and in the
whole concern there were about thirty kegs,
so that if our men had made fire in the
stoves, not only they but the whole town OF
Winnipeg would have perished by the flames" !"

New York is just now agitated over an ex :

young man, who is said to stand very neal
the High Priest of the New York Ring, was
married to young lady. The reception took
place at the house, completely furnished, said
to have been one of the bridal presents. The
blidal gifts exhibited at the reception exceeded
anything in the city for long time. Three
sides of large room were occupied by tables,
and these crowded with costly gifts, among
which were three or four $4,000 checks, q
solid service Of silver, diamonds, jewels and
costly articles of manufacture exceeding de-
scrption. The room looked as if Tiffany or
Ball & Black had emptied their stores on the
tables. A number of detectives were present
to guard the costly array. The story is that
each member of the Ring made brilliant Of
fering, and each attempted to outdo the other
The presents were said to exceed 500, 900.

SIX MILLIONS OF DOLLARS PAID UP STOCK
SUBSCRIPTIONS. No bonds issued on road un-
der constructions issue limited to $50 900 per mile of
road built and in running order, BEING ONLY
ABOUT HALF THE ACTUAL COST. The road is
being built with great economy for cash; $50 Miles
are already completed in the most thorough manner,
equipped and running regular trains and the whole
line lover 400 miles it is expected will be completed
within the ensuing year. It's one OF the most i'm

district destitute of other railroad facilities, which
must furnish it large and profitable local busi-
ness; and it will be completed at an aggregate cost
far below that of any competing llne These advan-
ages canno: fail to make it one of the best paying
roads leading from the metropolis, and its First
sued. All mortgage bonds issued ON railroads rum
ming from the City of New York good, and the
interest promptly paid, although some of them are
mortgaged for more than double the amount per
mile that the Midland is. Among the bonds now
offering we know of none equal 10 these. For the
investment of trust other funds there is nothing
better; and in exchange for Government Bonds
they give large increase of income besides capital
izing the premium. They are meeting with rapid
sale, and we have been gratifed to find that they
taken chiefly by most conservative and sagacous
capitalists in exchange for Government securities.

Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive

This is what the Providence journal
says on this fruitful topic:
1t is of no use, we long ago discovered,
to utter any warnings or to preach any
sermons on a subject like this. Fashion
has done away with economy, and has
subjugated morality and even Christian
ity to itself. The ten commandments
are interpreted very much as il may die
tate, and so is the Sermon on the Mount
But after all it will do no harm for peo-
pie to know not only that it costs a great
deal more to live than it did twenty
years ago, even though the living be I'M
changed, but also that living itself is
growing luxurious and extravagant, and
that il consists more and more Of empty
show and the qualification Of merely ar
tifcial wants.
These artificial wants are rapidly null
tiplying. They grow ont df the education
which we receive as children, out of the
Civilization which we have inherited, out
of the material interests with which we
are SO largely engrossed The consum-
ing classes in any country are growing
more numerous and the producing class
es less numerous in their ratio to each
other. The change that is going on i
probably more conspicuous in this coun
try than in most others, because we have
never had here any hereditary class de
voted to idieness and luxury. That it Is
already putting a strain on our industrial
capabilities is evident enough. 1t is moi
difficult to foresee the influence which il
must exert oyer or character and des
tiny as q people. No one likes to thinl
Of what this influence viii be, or the re
suit it will produce In our social oon
dition. -
