Quite n Little Romance.

On Friday afternoon, gentleman, aged
about thirty-iye, called at the Central Po-
lice Station in Newark, n. j., making in
quiries after little boy who had left his
home and had been missing for several
days. He had lately heard of him in
Brooklyn, and afterwards as being upon a
canal boat on the Morris and Essex canal
No officer of the force had seen such boy,
but, at the suggestion of the gentleman, a
policeman went with him to the dock of the
canal in Newark, 10 make further inquiries
As they reached the canal a boat was ap-
preaching, and as it neared the dock a boy,
ragged and dirty, was seen upon the
deck When il came still nearer, the
stranger recognized the boy as the one he
was in search of, and the boy also recog-
nized him. The meeting was very affect
ing The stranger then explained that they
were brothers, and that DR.. King, of Eliza
beth, who was lately arrested for an at
tempted outrage upon little girl, Was their
st pfather, and the girl their sister. That
he, the stranger, had been strongly opposed
to the Doctor marrying the mother, ami
had left home in consequence; and his
brother, the little boy, had been driven
from home by his stepfather's brutality.
That he had not been able for long time
to learn of the boys whereabouts, but sup.
posed him dead; that when he heard of
the doctors attempted outrage on his sister
he procured a revolver and went to Eliza
beth with the express purpose of shooting
him on sight, but reaching the house only
an hour after the villain had been taken in
10 custody. He said that the doctor had
succeeded in spending about $4,000 be-
longing to his (the strangers) mother and
family, in the course of the few months
since his marriage.

terest. The man who rendered the ines

discovering, preparing. and successfully

was GEO. w. MERCHANT, a profound
chemist of singularly acute, discriminating
power. In habits of untiring application,
research and tenacity of purpose, he was
not an unworthy representative Of the
famed Alchemvsts, who, in the infancy of
science, devoted their days and nights in
search of the Philosophers Stone;
but unlike them the researches of Geo. w
Merchant were guided by well ascertained
facts and carefully conducted experiments.
Having conceived the idea of a healing balm
of universal application, he pever ceased
his efforts or abated his labOrs until this
laudable object was accomplished. The
result of the great discovery WAS first pre-
sented to the world by Dr. Merchant in
1888, and he soon found it necessary TO
make extensive provisions for its manufac-
ture to supply the rapidly Increasing de-
mand. After few years he was admon-
ishcd by declining health, that intense and
protracted labor had undermined even his
iron constitution, and he was therefore
compelled to retire from the business, in
which he had acquired fame and fortune.
In the year 1853. the responsibility of
manufacturing this article, which had al

The Oneida.

A private letter from Yokohama furnishes
few items of interest concerning the lost
Oneida and her officers. The day before his
departure. Commander Williams passed
with the family of the United States Min
ister, DeLong, and during this social inter-
course spoke cheerfully of the approaching
voyage, and of the pleasure he anticipated
in meeting the loved ones at home. Mr.
DeLong expressed q wish that the Outida
should delay sailing day or two, on ac-
count of some troubles in the interior
which might require his interference,
and the Commander replied that he
would gladly comply, provided the
Minister would give the necessary
order. This, however, the latter declined
doing. On the morning of January 21st,
Mr. DeLOng called upon his friend at the
hotel, and subsequently lunched with him
on board the Oneida. While at the table
III the mess-room, Lieutenant Commander
Stewart came in, and, after the customary
salutes were interchanged, remarked, 81

that his officers were anxious 20 get away,
and he yielded to their opportunities, and
ordered the ship under way at p. N. Ac-
cording to the account of his servant, Com

How THEY PUNISH REBELS IN JAPAN.-A

He was bound 10 a cross, with his legs spread

stick of wood, on which the body had a
torturing support. A cord round the neck
tied the body to the cross, and the upper
and forearms were also bound tightly to
it. This being done, he remained hang.

was obliged to witness the behead-

before he drew his last breath he was
pierced again in the bowels with hook

left hanging there the whole day, as a
warning example to everybody. The Japan

many who had never before seen spider
of such enormous proportions 1t is sup

free passage from his southern home. 1t

may be made. If not too late we would
suggest to Gen. Schenck to impose such
restrictions upon all articles seeking our
shores as will save US from such visitations

And now a new disturber OF the peace
makes his appearance. The one captured
yesterday was fully an inch and halt long,
and was as fat as if he had been long faring
sumptuously at some rich mans table. A
good part of his bloated body had lost the
hairy covering that shield the more vital
organs, and his great, graceless, black legs,
as they moved in their prison house, made
