ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEED.-Between
three and four o'clock yesterday morning,
officer Magee arrested Edward Williams, at
the coffeehouse of Antonio Fernandez, Per-
dido street, for having feloniously entered
the establishment and stealing dozen dol
lars from the money till. Proof showing up
plainly against him he opened his scared
conscience and acknowledged the deed to
Recorder Houghton. Poverty and the pros
pect of no employment forced him into the
crime, therefore let US feel inclined to for
give him.

Sponge paper, French novelty, is said
to have all the pecniarities of sponge, alb
sorbing water readily, and remaining moist
long time. 1t has been used as dressing
for wounds with considerable advantage.
For its fabrication, evenly and finely di-
vided sponge is added to ordinary paper
pulp, and this is worked, as in common
paper-making apparatus, into sheets of diff
ferent thickness,

PRISONER BY MIsTAKE-I'he Honaa1s Who
Looks Like Ne.-A few weeks ago one of
the feminine gender, whose love for Ken
before Recorder Houghton, who SO far in
terested himselfsin her as to make an effort
TO reform her. He procured good situa-
ton for her, and she solemnly promised 10
reform, and her promise was accepted, for
she possesses many good qualities, some OF
them rising above her drunken habits. Her
passion soon broke her pledge, and again
she appeared before the Recorder, evidently
feeling tinge Of remorse. 1t was arranged
10 give her another trial, and she was re-
leased that she might obtain her clothing to
go to another situation, she agreeing to
return within half an hour, and small
sum of money was given her 10 pay car
fare. The weak woman expended the
money for liquor, and failed to return
utterly FORGETTING her word. Several days
afterward the Recorder saw, or thought he
saw, the victim in the stationhouse, asking
the clerk question. Without hesitation,
the Recorder rushed her into one OF the
cells, and left her there to reflect on her
sins of omission and commission.
Returning an hour afterward the official
began to lecture her ON the shortcomings
and she listened with fearful eyes. When
he had completed his talk, she looked up
at him with comical expression, saying
that the whole story was Greek to her-'1t
must be the woman who looks like me! !"
Taking a second look, the Recorder slowly
concluded that he had made serious mis-
take, but felt excusable as the two women
bear a strong resemblance in. all physical
respects. Then a string of excuses and
apologies followed, and the falsely impris-
oned one departed, displaying streaks of
anger and good humor, the latter predomi-
mating. All who witnessed the transaction
and knew the circumstances, admitted that
they, too, would have made the same mis-
take. If the innocent woman experienced
more chagrin than did the Recorder, We
are sorry for her. She will relate this little
episode as peculiar landmark in her his
tory, sending it down to her children and
grandchildren. as rough joke.
