kLEPToNAEIA OF A FEMALE Ex-TREAsURY
CLEEK-A lady, a native OF Indiana, we be-
heye, who, some two or three years ago was en-
p,oyed as a clerk in the Ire asury department at
WashI gton, and who until a recent date drew
pay a. an employee in n certain Office connected
with the United States government in this CITY,
a few DAYS ago walked into q store on 4th street
between Vine and Race streets, and asked the
clerk, standing behind the counter. to show her
some handkerchieIs. The Obligipg salesman
laid several boxes of different varieties of the
goods wanted ON the counter for inspection,
During the temporary absence of the clerk the
lady was seen by two of the other Customers of
tie store to take four OF the handkerchief in her
hand. pass the m through her muff. and then de-
pOsit the with her right hand in the pocket of
her dress. One Of the parties that witne seed
was going on informed the clerk, and the facts
were soon communicated TO the proprietor of the
store. Calling the lady into his private Office,
he explained what had been said, and She burst
ing into tears, acknowledged that it was true, at
the same time returning the stolen articles.
Owing TO her piteous pleadinRs the proprietor of
the establishment agreed to keep the matter
quiet, and consequently no arrest was made
When asked why she osDnatted the theft her
only reply was, couldn't help it," 1t is to be
hored, for her own safe ~ well as for that OF
her friends, that che win endeavor to break her
self OF practice which, III continued, will un-
doubtedly lead her to the doors Of the peniteu-
tary.-Ctncinndti Times, 30th ut.

FROZEN PLANTs.-SOme clear, still night,
Jack Frost will find his way into the lady's par
lOr or chamber, in which she keeps her plants,
and, an me! next morning her sweet pets will
be as rigid as the ARTIFICIAL flowers on her BON
net. Now, what shalt be done? Don't hurry
them into q warm room by the side Of a stove,
as you would frostbtten chicken. Let them
remain where they were frozen; close the win
dow shutters or drop the curtains. so as to make
the room quite dark. Then sprinkle the plants
with cold water direct from the cistern, and
wait the result. DO not allow the room to be-
come warmer than forty-seven degrees for
camphor are thrown into the dish of water be-
fore sprinkling, IL win be all the better Plants
treated in this way, though frozen so badly that
the water will freeze on when sprinkled, yet by
keeping the nom dark and cool for an entire
day, they will come out unframed.
