that led to The search for him. al the instance
of the Baltimore detectives. AS soon az he
was described, the New York detectives
knew him we'll, and were anxious to ret
hold of him, aa they already had five or Six
charges against him. He was found at the
place indicated by Smith, Peirson& West,
Baltimore. 1t is now discovered that he
has o wife and several children living In
New York city, and has already served one
term in Sing-Sing prison. He will be. held
for trial in New York, and II a conviction
shall fail there, he will be brought to this
city and tried on the double charge Of
forgery and bigamy. He is known in his
native city as "Nosey St~ebbins,'a and is

MISUNDERSTANDING AS A FINE ART.-The
Boston Commercial Bulletin says:

Dp'sSA OtNt bktCttfc says -
Baggage-smashing as a fine art has
reached a high state of perfection In this
country, and the skill, ingenuity, and per-
severance exhibited by railway porters and
employees in reducing the strongest-built
trunk to a hash of wood, leather, and
iron,. must be highly encouraging to
the trunk-makers. New York and the
West produce some human bomb-shells,
who stand at the head of the destruc-
tive brotherhood for the humiliation of
baggage. A heavily-timbered, iron.clad,
armor-plated trunk will only stand a two
days trip and the handling of two or three
of these railroad wreckers before it Is res
duced to old junk. On u recent trip We put
our faith and our clothing In a heavy sole
leather valise, handsomely built. 1t held
together as far as Washington, and we be-
gan to believe that some great reform move
ment or "revivap had taken place among
porters and railway men that some rail-
road Father Mathew, or hotel Elder Knapp
had arisen, and that the debased baggage
smasher had signed z pledge to abstain from
destroying even SO much as O handbook, or
had experienced q change of heart, and
with it more tender hands. 1t was with a
hopeful spirit, therefore, that we unsus-
pectingly parted with our trusty portman-
teau at the depot in Washington. Alas |!
iOl luC ldlllUlllIS u uILa uOpcS CudG
| elegant piece of leather was delivered to us
in New York, at the end of the days jour-
ney, neatly manufactured into leather shoe
strings. A stout le~ather-coyered flask Of
cologne had been we'll pulverized, and the
fragments Of glass judiciously distributed
in our linen, where it was calculated to
excite the most lively emotion. A bunch
of cigars had been converted into snuff and
ine.cut. In fact, the remains of everything
Of a perisbable nature attested the muscu-
lar energy and activity of the American bag
gage-smasher.
As the travelling season is approaching,
we would suggest to any new railway com.
pany who wish to win immortal fame and
advertise themselves in the most thorough
manner, that they announce that they will
guarantee the safe delivery of baggage, ex-
cept in cuses of the usual railroad accidents
for which "nobody is to blame" Such a
guarantee, faithfully carried out, would
largely increase the business of any railway,
and cause them to become known through
out the civilized world as the benefactors Of
mankind.

PATENT OuTsnEs.-[From the Lancaster

patent outsides. That IL, they bny their
paper from a firm which forwards it to
them with the outside already printed.
The party who furnishes the patent outside
not only makes his own selections, but he
has the right to publish therein a certain
amount of advertising, which he also Sc
lects without consulting the country jour-
nalist. A Republican editor in Mif1n

his paper sent TO him with the whole fourth
page taken up by elaborate and extended
pufs of Brick Pomeroy's Democrat.

THE FIGHTING ON FRIDAY,

PARIS, April 7, via LONDON, April g.
The fighting has been terrible. The Ma
tionals on Thursday night reoccupied the
barricade at Neuilly, and it was to-day
fiercelyattacked by the batteries of the Yer
sailles army. The Nationals defended their
position with mitrailleuses which had been
mounted on the barricade. There was a
perfect rain Of shells from the Versailles
artillery until half-past 4 in the afternoon,
when it became apparent that a direct as
sault was intended by the Government
however, for instead of that the
Versailles troops advanced upon both
the right and left TANKS of tue barri-
cades. There was for an hour a rapid and
effective fire of musketry, and then the
fighting increasing in intensity, the Com
munes of Neuilly advanced two fresh bat.
talions of infantry, supported by eight
guns. Crowds Of women and children
were in a dangerous position near the Arc
de Triumph, watching with the utmost
anxiety the changing scenes of the battle
field. The fire of artillery has up to this
time spared the enctente.
The Nationals resist the advance of the
Government troops with determination,
and will defend every inch of streets should
they succeed in entering the city. There is
