A Titled SWindler.

Gordon, who has represented himself
at New York for some months as the
Earl of Aberdeen, and sheen proved
an arrant impostor, has disappeared.
He is supposed to have gone to Canada.
He seems to have deceived completely
such men as Horace Greeley, Jay
Gould, Thomas A. Scott, and many of
the shrewdest men in Wall street. He
has been an extensive stock operator,
and has control of vast amount of
money. He is reported to owe large
debts, estimated at $250000 to 100000.
Greeley is mentioned as being among
the victims. When heresided on Staten
Island last summer he had with him Il
beautiful and accomplished woman
whom he called his wife, who has not
been seen for some time. Gordon is
said to have been Il regular Turk re
speeding the fair sex. He is certainly
very shrewd, and has swindled persons
all over the country.

Wonderful il True.

A story comes from North Carolina
which makes rather a serious draft on
the credulity, though it is strongly au
thenticated. A lighthouse boat with
six men aboard was being lowed up the
river to Wilmington by steamer, when
another small boat with two passengers
dritted astern of the steamer and directly
in the way of the boat behind. A dis,
aster seemed inevitable, when, by some
unaccountable force, the lighthouse
boat was jerked out Of the water and
made to jump clear over the other boat,
alighting safely on the other side with.
out shipping a pint of water. But what
is quite as remarkable, as the light.
house boat was performing its startling
leap, one of the two men in the boat
below made a spring and landed safely
in the flying boat. 1t is rather toe Gloss

A MOney.making Business.

For a good, steady, safe business, re-
curing scarcely any capital and making
abundant cash returns for the time
spent, commend us to the profession OF
a Good Samaritan in Wisconsin. The
new liquor law in that State makes in
toxica ion a crime, and compels the in
toxicated to pay s. a day to any one
who takes care of them during their
lapse from grace The Good Samaritan
of the nineteenth century has only to
hire a room for about so cents a day,
and scour the streets for the poor vic.
TINS of folly. In any city he can safely
calculate on finding half dozen suffer
ing beings whom his generous soul will
yearn to succor. When he has once
conveyed them to his headquarters, his
task is done. The cost of maintaining
a man just recovering from drunken
debauch will be merely nominal, and
the benefactor of his race will be in re-
ceipt of a steady stream of s. bills.

The Slave Trade.

The National IntelHgeacer says that in
consequence of the representations of
the British Minister, Presid Mt Grant
has consented to cooperate with the
British government in suppressing the
slave trade in the Persian Gulf by a
treaty with Great Britain. The Imaum
of Muscat exercises the right of trans
porting domestic slaves within his own
territory. The first United States man
ofwar which visits Zanzibar or Mus
cat will ask for a termination of the
provisions of the treaty.

Bathing.

Many persons have lost their lives by
getting chilled in the process of bathing;
sometimes, 10y going into the bath too soon
after eating. No person should take
any, kind OF bath sooner than three
hours after a regular meal, and the
room should show heat of seventy five
degrees of Fahrenheit's ermometer,
at about five feet above the floor in the
middle of the room, in order to avoid
dangerous chills; persons of feeble
circulation should have the room still
warmer; if there is an uncomfortable
