hundred dollars, but smaller sums wee
accepted IT, many cases, on the whole
the business paid remarkably well, as
BOgart acknowledged that he had made
four thousand dollarswiGhin the pasttwO
weeks. Evidently there is considerable
moral ~rottenness in U midst, and BO-
CART, like q philosopher, made the most
Of &. The particulars Of most of these
/ transactions, VIII, for Obvious reasons,
never come to light, but what has trans
pired is decidedly rich. Some time since
Bogart called on Mr.. James =. Maxwell
= well-knOwn broker, and quietly limited
that he was aware OfsOme peculiartrans-
actions of his which would not bear pub
lie scrutiny. Nj. Maxwell, who, by the
way, must not be c~oniounded with the
Maxwell who figured in the woodruff
and Clahin Scandal, turned pale, then
yellow and almost green, he gasped,
How did you know this?' adding,
NV dear fellow, ! have got M money
about me now, but come and dine with
me.n Bogsrt was dined and wined, and
left Mr.. Maxwell in q glorious state OF
inebFiatiOn. At six o'clock the next
morning Maxwell wa startled from his
slumber by a peremptOry ringathis door
bell, and found, TO his horror, the i'm

'fMr. Maxwell" he blandly said,
am short of funds, and if you don't
come down al once, 1 will sell this story
10 the Herald, and have it out in m
extra. lean get two hundred and fifty
dollars for it." Mr.. Maxwell stared
wildly, and said: II have not got the
money in the house, but PHI borrow it.n
He then rushed across the street and
borrowed one hundred and fifty dollars
from a livery-stable keeper, and next
crossed over to Broadway, and got the
balance at Park & Tilford's. BOgart re-
ceived the money with nonchalance,
and with a familiar nod said sail right
and strobe of for his morning cocktail.
Mr.. J. ). Flint, President Of the Con-
tinental National Bank, also paid two
hundred and fifty dollars as a tribute to
BOgart's superior powers Of obtaining
Information Of a peculiar character.
Mr.. Flint is sore on this point, and can
not bear TO hear the name of BOgart.
Among the prominent men who are re-
ported to have been visited by this IN
terprising youth are Henry Clews, A. I.
Stewart, John Graham, the great crimi-
nal lawyer, EX-COllectOr Thomas Muir
phy, and several Others. The adventure
in which be finally came to grief is as
follows: On yesterday afternoon Bogart
called on J. Z. Brown, manager Of the
PavOnia ferry, and said that be had
lately interviewed Mrs. Victoria c..
Woodruff, in Ludlow street Jail, on the
part Of the World, and among other in
teresting facts, she told him that she
was about 10 publish in the next issue Of
her journal his (Brown'sl adventures
with a certain damscl named Nettie
Smith, in a mdisOn dc jOje in West
Twenty-sixth street. As Mr.. Brown
tells the story, his hair fairly sfstood on
end" and for a time he was dumfound-
ed, and didn't know what to do. FL
nally he invited BOgart to DelmOnicO's
to dinner. While there Rufus L. An
drews, the political gO-between, and a
certain Wiley, joined the party, and
champagne flowed freely. After while
BOgart drew a check on the Second Ma
tiOnal Bank for one hundred and fifty
dollars, and asked Mr.. Brown to cash it.
Mr.. Brown first deliberated, and then
Endorsed it; and then Rufus L. An
drews, in a clustering way, said;
''YOung man, you have no money in
that bank; In have you arrested for
passing worthless cheeks BOgart at
first attempted to bluff it out, but his
nerve gave way, he blushed and stam-
mered, and finally bolted for the door,
but was pursued, captured, and lodged
in the police station. This afternoon
the prisoner was brought up at the
TOmbs. He wa quite cool, and smiled
complacently on his victims, who, 70
the number OF a score OF more, were
present. MIR. Brown related his story
substantially as above, and BOgart, hsv-
ing waived examination, the Justice
committed him for trial without bail.
BOgart seems quite u-neOncerned, and
that his accusers dare not proceed
him, as he viii in that case
make such revelations as viii astOnish
society, and bring disgrace and ruin
