Free.Love and Forgery.

Another case of free love and forgery
has lately transpired in Chicago. 1t
appears that d few weeks ago dashing
young Israelite OF the name of Charles
Heyman, became deeply enamored with
beautiful young actress, who had just
completed her engagement at McViccr's
Theatre. Between them a trip TO Eu-
rope was planned, but Heyman's funds
were too low, and in order to crafty the
young actress inordinate love for trav-
cling and fine clothes, resolved to com
nit q forgery upon the First National
Bank of that city. He succeeded in his
plans, and Obtained a large sum OF
money, with which he and the actress
went on to New York. In that city
visits were paid TO A. Il. Stewart s,where
all the beauties Of toilette that woman
could think OF we're purchased for her
by the young forger. Meanwhile the
police were on their track, as the fol-
lowing telegram proves, which was sent
by the well known private detective,
Allan Pinkerton, to the Chief Of Police
Of Staten Island last Friday.

The Chief Of Police went to DR..

the quarantine steamer to start in pur-
suit, but, before putting TO sea it was
ascertained at the telegraph Office that
the City of Baltimore had already lett

graphed on Sunday to the Chief Of Po-

Cheap Railroad Fares.

At the last session of the Massachus
etts Legislature an act was passed
whereby every railroad in the State
should be compelled to furnish a morn
ing and evening train, at proper hours
tor instance, not exceeding fifty miles
and for such tariffs they shall furnish
yearly season tickets, at a rate not ex.
ceeding three dollars per mile year
good once each day for six days in
q week, and quarterly tickets
not exceeding three dollars pc,
mile per quarter; providing that the
number OF persons making application
shall not be less than two hundred
The object of this was to enable me
chanics and persons OF limited means tc
escape from the alleys and crowded
streets Of Boston and build up the
suburbs. Plenty OF room would thus
be secured, and the result. it was be
lieved, would be very favorable to the
interests OF morality as we'll as to the
comfort Of the working class.
The idea which led TO this move j:
derived from the success OF similar
plan in London. As early as 1862 the
three principal railways consented to
convey not less than one thousand pas
sengers from any place within ten
miles of London aad back for two pence
Tor about four cents) day, and since
1864 all the new railways constructed
at that point have been obliged to dc
the same thing. The result has been
very beneficial, both to the roads them
selves, the suburbs and the poorer
classes. Rents in London itself, which
would otherwise have risen to Q
fabulous heighth, have been checked
and the example set by the English
roads is in every respect worthy OF imi
tation.

From the Daviess County Qnd.) Democrat.
Judge Baker Will Sing for Greeley

From the Daviess County Qnd.) Democrat
Judge Baker Will Sing for Greeley.
Our interviewer met Judge Baker, OF
Vincennes yesterday, and Informed him
that Colonel Allen had stated that at
least half the Republicans in Knox
county were in favor Of the Cincinnati
nominations, and that he (the judge
was entitled to the distinction of beng
the only Democrat in that county who
did'not 90 for Honest Old Horace.
The Judge is a fine storyteller, and
proceeded to explain his position by the
following good one;
Once there was good old Baptist
preacher, whose custom it was every
Sunday morning on entering his pulpit
to open his well worn hymn book at
random and read the first hymn that
caught his eye. Some wicked boys one
day got hold Of his hymn book and
pasted in leaf containing that famous.
but not very orthodox hymn, "Old
Father Grimes"
Next Sunday morning the good par
son entered his sanctuary, carefully
adjusted his spectacles, picked up his
book and read to the congregation:
"Old Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more"
He stopped. rubbed his glasses, ex.
amined his book to see that he had
made no mistake, and proceeded:
"He used to wear an old gray coat,
All buttoned down before"
He then laid down the book, and
tearfully but firmly addressed the con-
gregation:
"Brethern, I've used that book these
twenty years. l never came across
that hymn before, but it's thar, in the
book, and its all right. Sing"
49," said the Judge, I've been a
Democrat a long while, and never
thought of such a thing as being asked
to vote for Greeley; but, if he's in the
book, / am not going to stop to ask how
he got there, but make the best music !
can for him under the circumstances"
