How a Publisher Was Not Taken in.

How n Publisher Was Not Taken IN.
Mr.. Fields, the Boston publisher, has
a wonderful memory, and his knowledge
Of English literature is so available that
when a friend wishes to know where any
particular passage may be found, he
steers at once for the corner and con-
suits the man who is very likely to give
the desired information. A pompous,
would-be wit, not long ago thinking to
puzzle him, and make sport for a COM
pany at dinner, informed them, prior to
Mr.. Fields arrival, that he had himself
that morning written some poetry, and
intended to submit it to Mr.. Fields as
Southey's, aud inquire in which of his
poems the lines occurred. At the proper
moment, therefore, after the guests were
seated, he began: Friend Fields, l
have been a good deal exercised of late
trying to find in Southey's poems his
well known lines running thus -. Can
you tell us about what time he wrote
them2"
al do not remember to have met with
them before" replied Mr.. Fields, and
there were only two periods in Southey 8
life when such lines could possibly have
been written by him"
"WheR were those2" gleefully asked
the witty questioner.
Somewhere, said Mr.. Fields, about
the early period of his existence when
he was having the measles and cutting
his first teeth; or, near the close of his
life, when his brain softened and he had
fallen into idiocy The versiheation be
longs to the measles period, but the ex.

MuniripnI Detectires.
From the Louisville Ledser.l

From the LOultNlut AtNkelsl
The detective system Of the Cincin-
natl police force is to receive a thorough
overhauling by Mayor Davis, and from
what has already transpired it is time
that the work was done. Heretofore
the Mayor and Chief Of Police have de-
tailed certain men from the regular
force to act in the capacity Of detec-
tives. They receive the same pay as
patrolmen and are dressed in citizens
clothes, and are employed exclusively
in looking after thieves and other char
acters who are supposed 20 prey
upon the community. For some time
il has been suspected that this special
detective force was acting in concert
with thieves and receivers Of stolen
goods, and that citizens need not expect
redress without frst covering the palms
Of the detective with a good round fee;
thus requiring sufferers TO add TO the
compensation already provided by the
taxes collected from the people A
meeting Of citizens, who had at sundry
times been robbed, was held on Saturday
night last, at which the experiences Of
several was given in oonnectisn with the
municipal detective force. At this
meeting il was clearly shown that

At this an unusual pallor came over the

The Syracuse Courier guarantees the
authenticity Of the fattering picture Of
domestic bliss contained in the follow
ing letter. 1t was written by Mormon
lady to friend residing near Syracuse:
Ny DEAR Narration know have
never written to you since came here
to the land Of promise and Joined the
Mormon faith. You know we used to
talk about Joe Smith and his twenty
wives, and what a terrible wicked thing
it was for a man to have so many wives,
and that all such women ought TO be put
TO death; and we wondered how they
could ever agree to live together and all
that. Now / will tell you some of my
experience. You know | went with
company OF sixteen, some from New
York State, some from Connecticut. and
two from New Hampshire, and when we
got here great parade was made over us.
We were takeninto the tabernacle where
ourispiritual Lord and master made q
fine prayer and speech to us, giving his
thanks for coming so long distance to be
with them and enjoy the only true religion
and happiness. The next day was
married to my husband, WHO'S farmer,
is as fine man as you ever did see; he
is noble and generous; he had then only
six wives. | became the seventh; be
has married two more since, and we
we're all glad he did, it is so pleasant
when we all get together and tell each
other of our former experience before
we came here; how we used to think it
a mortal sin for q man to have more than
one wife, and all such foolish nonsense.
Oar dear husband often laughs at US
when we tell him Of the silly notions we
had in our younger days. Our husband
is one Of the kindest Of men; if any
one Of us want money all we have to do
is to ask him for it, and the horses and
the carriage is always ready to take us
wherever we wish to go. We have thirty
seven children altogether; only three
are mine, and most of them are old
enough to go to school, tell you it is
mighty pleasant to see them all in the
playground together, enjoying them
selves hugely, and their father in their
midst as happy as any of them. tell
you he is as nice man as ever lived. He
says he is going to have all the boys
learn good trade or profession 1--WE have
only nineteen boys), and we must learn
the girls to work, so they will be useful
when they become wives, / tell you,
Martha, we have no old maids in this
country; no illegitimate children; no
abortion; no coroners inquests over lit
tie babes at every half-mile along the
line of the canals, as you have in your
country. There are no houses Of ill
fame in our country. In short, my dear
Martha, we are happy and prosperous
people, and we enjoy life in proper and
Christian-like manner ] would sign my
full name, which am proud Of but hus-
band says l had better sign my original
maiden name, as this letter is going to
land of unbelievers. So adieu.

you to come here; if you come, you must
do so voluntarily.
