A SwINDLER IN TRoUBLE.-M. NJ. Cumston
has for the last ten years been operating in va
r;ous parts Of the country under different
aliases, generally appearing as a clergyman
and managing by his devout manner and adro;t
address to bleed the unsuspecting inhabitants
of the place where he locates. Four years ago
he was in Vaudeville, Conn.,, where he oficia.-
ed as Methodist clergyman. Since then he
has perhaps been under cloud, as he has not
been heard of until last February, when he ap-
peared in .Greensburg, Indiana, under the
name of James S. Greene. Here he took
charge of the Baptist Church and succeeded in
gaining the implicit confidence of the entire
community. He then began to report around
that his wife owned considerable property in
Baltimore, and, on the strength of this, pur-
chased real estate and borrowed money from
the banks. When the notes became due he
got an extension Of time, and deposited forged
notes of VIM. S. Cox, of Baltimore, on the
banks, as security. Soon after that he cleared
out and nothing was heard of him until Fri
day, when he was arrested at Portland, Conn.
and will be taken to Indiana for trial.

MUTILATIoN OF THE BlBLE-The Phiadel-
phia Inquirer tells Of piece Of dissertation in
one of, the Station houses in that city where a
copy of the Bible was kept for the use of the
alderman acting as magistrate. 1t was tied up
with piece of red tape and was never opened.
The other day the alderman noticed that the
edges of the leaves were cleaner than usual.
he first thought that somebody had been
scraping them with a knife. He united the
string, and then it was found that the only
portion of the Bible left was the covers! Ths
leaves had all been removed, and for them had
been substituted some cid city ordinances cut
down to fit the cover! For the Quaker City
this may be regarded as piece OF wickedness
that eclipses anything ia New York history
