LONDON, March There was much agitation
in several quarters of Paris last night and barr-
cades erected in the northern and eastern fau-
bourgs. 1t is stated that they are only guaran-

signed limits of occupation. The Governor of

between the Germans aud the populace.

KLEPTOMANIA.

Lady Helps HerseIf to Goods While Shop.
pinR-Tears, a Gold Watch, and Respecta-
bic Appearance Cause Her Detection TO be
flushed Up.
The Cleveland Leader says:-A kleptomaniac
in the form Of a young woman in widows
weedsa came to this city from Newburg, a
short time ago, and strolled into Hover 81 Hig-
bees dry goods store to examine goods and
make a few purchases After examining and
buying what she wanted, the small bill was paid
and the lady made her exit, taking with her
costly shawl, which, in her absent t-mindedness,
she forgot to pay for. Crossing over into Ken
dali ~ Sons, she made few more purchases
and slipped under her shawl several articles lying
on the counter One of the clerks detected her,
and before she could resch the door her passage
was barred, and an order given to stand and sur
render
The pilfered articles were taken from beneath
her sombre mantle, and with them fell to the
floor costly shawl, which was thought to have
been stolen from the fact of its being concealed
and unenveloped. The woman's cheeks were at
once wet with tears, as, with sobbing voice,
she made known her terrible propensity for
taking whatever came within her reach when
she thought ne one was looking. She begged
and pleaded that nothing should be said of the
matter declared that disclosure would bring
infamy upon her family, and that If the gentle
men would but give her few hours liberty she
would produce such proofs of her character for
integrity, honor, and virtue as would put to
flight all their suspicious. Mr.. Kendall finally
yielded to her entreaties, and taking her address
and valuable gold watch and chain as "bail"
for temperance, permitted her to go home.
The next day Mr.. Kendall was accosted by a
clergyman, a resident of Newburg, who had
come all the way from that place to make an
appeal in behalf of the unfortunate klepto-
maniac. He represented that 1t was really not
the woman's fault. Time and again she had
committed, he said, the same acts while under
the control of an irresistible impulse. He pleaded
his case as eloquently as the lawyers recently
argued emotional insanity, and with q great
deal more success. In short time he made his
exit from the store with flying cclors. bearing
away the watch and chain and promising that
the lesson should have salutary effect on the
poor woman. Since then she has been seen in
the store on different occasions and on her next
visit she will be arrested, it is too much trou-
| BILE to watch all her movements.

A BURGLAR In A BOX.
How the Supposed Express Robber Explains
NlRIIer

How the Supposed Express Robber EXPLAINS
the Matter.
Further information from Denver throws dis
credit upon the story sent by telegraph, that
one F. G. Cross, young man from Massachu-
setts, attempted to rob an express car on the
Union Pacific Railroad, by gaining admission
into it in q box to be sent as freight. He himself
has said, since his arrest. that his funds were
getting low, and that, finding his fare home
would cost him $65, while the box could be sent
for $50, he made the box and attempted to get a
cheap passage to New England. The Denver
Tribune describes The interior of the box, and
speaks of Cross thus
In one end of the box is frame work, netted
with stout twine, fine thing for the head to
rest upon. The other end is the commissary.
Here are bread, cakes, a can of butter apples,
aud many little dainties for q long journey.
Here are books and papers, an odd suit and
other comforts The only suspicious thing about
it is the armory-a pistol. His manner leaves
no doubt that he Is partially demented He
says he hopes people will not laugh at him.
His freak was merely an effort to get a cheap
ride to Boston. THE thing didn't work, and
here / am" There are intimations current to-
day that part of this 'cunningly-devised PLAN
was the robbery of the express Those who
know this young man can't believe tnat he is
familiar with the wicked ways of the world.
They look upon the whole thing as q kind of
strange freak, done. as the young man expresses
it, partly for fun, and partly for economy"

Lewis NJ. Van Eeten, the forger, will be ar
raigned to-day before Recorder Hackett, of the
Court of General Sessions, and will plead guilty

of Hallgarten a. Co., bankers, for $77, 500,
and bearing forged certificate of the
Park Bank. The second charge is for at

$7500. In each case the charge is, technically,
that of forgery in the third degree. The SEN
tence for each offense will be five years in the
Penitentary, unless the earnest intercession of
Officer Sampson, of the Board OF Brokers, shall
cause the penalty to be some what reduced. lt

The Hon. Henry d. Cooke, who has accepted
the position of Governor of the District of Co.

sylvonia University, Kentucky, graduating

to accept position with She Hon. William G.
MoTehead, then consul at Valparaiso During
his residence there he wrote letters to the Uited
States Gazette, of this city, and to the New
York Courier dad Enquirer, which, at the time,
attracted consid erable attention. Returning in
1847 he went to California on trading expedi-
tion. In 1850, by the great fires in San Fran
cisco-no property could be insured there at the
time-the whole of his great wealth was swept
away. "a.

cial editor and as political editor OF the San
dusky Register and Ohio State Journal, all
staunch Republican papers. In 1861 he accepted
position in the banking house Of Jay Cooke S
Co., the senior partner being his brother. He
has during the ten years of his connection with
this firm been at the head Of the Washington
branch, and has again accumulated large for

completed the loading of her cargo for France,
and, If nothing prevents, will leave the navy
yard at noon to-day for Havre. Quite a guam
tity of provisions were left over, as they could
not well be stored on board the ship.
Captain Dewey and his officers have been fur
nished by gentlemen in New York with letters
of introduction to eminent citizens of France,
who will, no doubt, tender them most hospi-
table reception. When the Supply has dis

delay she will return to the United States to fill
up again with supplies for the European squad
ron, to be landed at the naval station at Villa
Franco, near Nice.

eighty-three men and guard of thirteen ma
