ESERGY AND VIM.-To make any business en-
tcrprise successful the management must possess
the get up and git" qualties-eDergy and
vim. In this of railroads and telegraphs men
who expect to thrive and keep even with the pro-
gress of the age, must constantly keep an eye to
windward, and thus be ready to take advantage
of every fresh breeze. Among the business men
i: Linn county, there are few who possess the
necessary qualifications to a successful career in
larger degree than cur friend Mr.. Al. Wheeler, of
Brownsville. He is idle, and being

self and creditable to the town. Such men diff

iishing its character abroad, than dozen drones.

a. Ridiculous Mistake.

THROUGH an absurd mistake a we'll
known lawyer of New York, Mr. Thomas
Dunphy, was arrested the other night, on
suspicion of having murdered the late
Mr., Nathan. It appears that Mr.. Dunphy
called on friend in Brooklyn, and while
there the conversation turned on the topic
which Just then principally agltated all
Gotham. Mr.. Dunphy, who visited the
house of the late Mr.. Nathan on the
morning succeeding the murder, narrated
the facts with a precision and clearness
which would have been considered re-
markable in any one but skillful lawyer.
He drew vivid picture of the murder,
speaking, as it is said, in the first person,
thus: "Now the old man catches me,
then I get hold of the dog" and SO on. A
young woman, overhearing the conversa-
ton and having the golden vision OF the
stupendous rewards before her eyes, con-
cluded that the real culprit was revealing
his own experience. She instantly IN
formed the police, and patrolman imme
diately entered the house and arrested
Mr.. Dunphy in the midst of his portrayal
of the bloody deed. The gentleman pro-
tested, but the officer was inexorable and
dragged his prisoner off to the Brooklyn
police Headquarters, where he was de-
tained until midnight, and then trans
ferred to the Gotham lookup, and super
intendent Jourdan sent for. When that
officer arrived, satisfactory ex-
planation was made, the lawyer sent
back to Brooklyn where the arrest was
made. and there released from durance.
A suit for false imprisonment will be the
finale of this over-zealousness OF the
BROOKLYN detectives.
