She brought no pinions with her.
Nor did hear her sing,
But tile tiutter of her garments
Was like all angels wing.
My eyes have seen an angel,
And think the happy skies
Were sadder for her coming,
Such heaven was in her eyes.
And strange mysterious power
Her beauty underies.
l know saw this angel,
The picture is no dream.
l heard her dear voice ringing,
| saw her fair face beam,
And her pure lips kissed mine softly.
While watched her dark eyes CLEAN.

To me gift she brought,
Fresh rosebuds among violets,
With sweetest perfume fraught.
And henceforth these beanteous flowers
Shall link her to queenly thought.

Honesty Depending on a Hair.

In the United States District Court
yesterday, trial was had before jury
of Ludwig MOscr, formerly letscr-car-
rier in the Baltimore Post Office, on an
indictment, under the act of Congress
of July, 1864, of having opened a let
ter which had been intrusted to him in
the capacity of letter-carrier. Tho
testimony of Gen. Andrew w. Denison,
Postmaster, was as to the fact of MOser
being a letter carrier in the employ of
the Department OF the 18th of Novem-
Der the day on which it was alleged
the letter had been intrusted to the
charge of Mcser. The testimony of G.
X. Petherbridge, special agent of the
Post Office Department, and other gem
tlemen, was substantially the same as
when the preliminary examination of
the accused was had before United
States Commissioned Rogers, on Nom
day, the 2Sth ultimo, the principal
points thereof being that complaints
were made at the Post Office of the
non-delivery of letters containing
money to various parties expecting
remittances; that an envelope post
marked LOckhayen, PENN, and adj
dressed "AIrs. Lecompte, colored,
Josephine street, near ChatswOrtb,"
closed with mucilage, but having a
hair from the whiskers of Mr.. c. r.
petherbridge inserted in such man
ner that the opening of the envelope
would be made apparent by the DIS
appearance of the hair; which envel-
ope had inside a letter, on the outside
of which were placed that hair and
several notes, one of them an old IS
note of the Merchants and Mechanics
Bank of Virginia, at Wheeling, was
| given over to the accused by Mr..
Michael S. Showacre, Superintendent
of letter-carries for delivery and that
said envelope or letter was by him re-
turned to the box in the Office the
same evening, but subsequently taken
, out and not again returned for several
! days. when it was Immediately taken
, possession of by the officials, who, n.
: they testified, found that the envelope
. had been opened, the hair of Mr.
q Pethcrbridge missing, the position o
!, the contents changed, and the envel
!, ope closed, additional mucilage hav
= ing been used for the purpose. Fo
i the defense, several witnesses testifie'
: to the good character of the traverser
: &c. The defense counsel offered tw
J. prayers to the Court for the instruc
st ton of the jury; that as there was N
Ie real person to whom the letter ha
h been addressed, Mrs. Lecompte bein
ar fictitious person, and the money
&c the envelope marked by the hair I
>. Mr.. Petherbridge worthless, the pri
% oner should be acquitted. r h e S
prayers were rejected, and after arg,
W. ment the jury retired, but soon aft
VI returned with verdict of guilty.

A Mystery Of Fifty Years Solved,
THE FATE OF CHANCELLOR LANSING
HE WAS NOT MURDERED, BUT COM
MITTED SUICIDE.

From the Schenectady Star Of De-
cember 18th, we take the following:
We have in recent issues of the Star
made reference to ThurlOw Weeds let
ter regarding the mystery of Chancel
lor Lansing's fate, in which Mr.. Weed
relates that, twenty three years ago,
an eminent citizen of this State, now
deceased, put him in possession of in
formation which, in the judgment of
the informant, clearly proved that
Chancellor Lansing had been murder
ed, and that through the agency of GER
tain parties whose names this eminent
citizen communicated This person
further invoked promise that, should
Mr.. Weed survive the parties inlplica-
ted, he would publish the facts. This
contingency has now occurred but Mr..
Weed states that, on mature consider
alton and consultation, he has conclu
ded that circumstances have absolved
him from his promise, and he declines
to publish the facts of the alleged muir
der. We published few days since,
letter from John L. Livingston, Il
grandson of Chancellor Lansing, call
ing upon Mr.. Weed to make known all
the facts and circumstances regarding
the fate of Chancellor, made known to
him. Mr.. Weed has failed to make the
disclosure. and we have therefore coil-
cluded to make known some facts in
our possession regarding the fate OF
Chancellor Lansing-made known to
us by an old gentleman, Il well known
and respected resident of this city,
who was personal friend of the Chan
cellor and his family, and to whom the
facts we are about to disclose were
made known years ago, and from what
he believes to be reliable source
The Chancellor was the possessor OF
great wealth, and had been specializing
heavily and had swamped himself. He
was in New York stopping at the ole
City Hotel, when he received intelli-
geDce that his residence bn State street
in Albany, had been seized and was tt
be sold by the Sheriff. Mr.. Lansing
, wrote letter to Albany, and took it t.
the boat himself. He was never seer
afterward, nor was any trace after
wards found of him. 1t was surmise'
e at the time by his friends that he hat
!. stepped off the plank, in the darkness
y while leaving the boat and been drown
ed. But such was not the case. MI
n Lansing returned to the City Hotel an
II there committed suicide by hangin
y himself: The matter was hushed III
D. the body, was secretly removed in tn
D. night time and deposited in the famil
II burial vault of Abraham G. Lansing,
brother of the Chancellor, and the fat
It, of Chancellor lansing remained my
IS terry to the people, only to be solve
IS after d lapse of half Il century. Ouril
~ formant, who is a man of veracity al
IL probity, stated that he was fully CO.
WINGED that the above facts were Il
true solution of the mysterious disa
Ill pearance of Chancellor Lansing. No
let us hear from Mr.. Weed.

What is a Syndicate.

Recent financial negotiation in con-
nection with Secretary BoutwelPs
new loan have brought into use
among us term heretofore unknown
in our business circle. 1t is said that
"syndicate" has agreed to take the
loan, and an explanation of the word
has not as yet appeared. In the
French commercial law "syndic"
is the assignee of an insolvcnt's or
bankrupt's estate, and "syndcate"
is the body of assignces, or syndics.
In this sense it is rather a joke on the
Secrctary's pet loan that it should be
regarded abroad as n sort of compo.
sition with creditors; but the real
meaning to be attached to the phrase
is simply that of committee or board
of directors, "syndic" in the European
business world answering substan.
tally to u board, committee, or agcn.
cy among us.--Ne,O York World

His theory is that food will be used
