From the New York SUM-
Yesterday morning, about daybreak. a
huxOm Irish hOusemaid, industriOusly scrub
hing the steps of a house near Astor place,
attracted the attention of a disreputable
looking young man, who evidently did not
earn his bread by the sweat Of his brow He
wore a sickly pink moustache; his boots
were dirty, but his hair was elaborately
creased and frizzlcd, while he displayed on
his person enough Attleboro .jewelry to
form the basis Of a gift enterprise. APP

preston intended to be extremely fasci-

- No, sir; not for Joseph. What do YOU

You want to look at the windy fastenings,
and to tit key to the durc, and then steal
IN some dark night, and carry off every

SOUBY'S REMBRANDT AND IMPERIAL GAL
LERY.-To form a just and proper coneep
ton Of what the Rembrandt pictures are
one should visit the gallery of Mr.. E. J.
Souby; SO well known in this community, a:
No. l65 Canal street, near Dauphine.
These beautiful Rembrandt pictures have
Of late SO elevated the art Of photography,
by placing it beyond the reach of mere pre-
tenders, that those who have set aside their
legitimate trade, thinking photography so
lucrative business. to follow it in % me-
chanic:N way, making trash instead OF
artistic and life-like productions, will now
find its pursuit too intricate for their limited
knowledge of scientific and artistic princi-
pies, and be necessarily. to aban-
don profession of which they know
nothing.
We, therefore, take pleasure in stating
that Mr.. E. j. Souby, having made photo
graphic science a special study, in all its
branches, from the old daguerreotype to its
present stage Of perfection, deserves the
patronage of this community. We recon-
mend our readers to visit his rooms, Ne.
l65 Canal strest; near Dauphine, il order
that, - We stated before, q correct and
proper conception may be had Of, what this
beautiful Rembrandt style is. Remember

Andersons photographs are generally
acknowledged to be all that the skill and
talent Of the operator can make them.
That they give satisfaction to the parties
Tor whom they are taken is proved by the
fact that every day increases the business
Of an establishment already one of the most
extensive in the United States. To really
be able to appreciate fully the beauties Of
Mr.. Anderson's photographs, we consider it
necessary to call at his gallery, No. 1873
Canal street, and compare his specimens
with those taken by other parties. 1t will
then be seen what real artist he is.

A gentleman in London recently resisted
the payment of bill for goods which his
wife had purchased without his authority
He resisted payment chiefly on the ground
that the articles thus purchased were lux,l
ries, not within the ordinary scope OF the
duties of a wife, and not necessary to he1
station in life. Among these were gold
pencil case, guitar, and double scent
bottle. The judge before whom the shop
keepers brought suit for payment decided
the articles named to be unnecessary In
his mind they were useless luxuries to the
woman who had contracted for the purchase.
He gave it as his fiat that 1.-The law is not
bound to render any assistance to the grow
ing luxury and degeneracy of the age" and
the husband, in obedience to this decision.
kept his money in his pocket. Commenting
upon this trial and its results, a London edi-
tor calls for specific line to be definitely
drawn between luxuries and necessaries.
and he thus puts some pertinent interroga-
tons:
''Jf guitar is useless luxury, what is q
harp. or a trombone. or drum Is eau-de-
cologne necessary Has wife a right TO
order toilet vinegar! Can tradesman
supply such articles as kalydor. or false
hair, with hope of payment! and so we
might go on asking thousand queries

moustache or whisker, only thickieyebrow
over speculative eye, which looks out as if
far beyond at distant object. "Who is
that ?" asks one of the English refugees,
she must be somebody!' "fts Won Moltke."
"Oh, indeed Well, he has driven lis out of
Paris, any way" There is the great painter
Werner, come to paint his picture for the
town Of Kohl, where Won Room was born.
He is to be represented directing the invest

mother, and says that his Washington

danger, but does not mention that she knew
anything of the abduction plot. He says

latter conveyed to Richmond.
