Daring Attempt to Rob a Bank.

A daring attempt was made during
Wednesday night to rob the First Ma
tional Bank of Jersey City, by three
professional burglars, who would have
accomplished their purpose but for the
vigilance and sagacity of woman. In
May last q man who gave his name as
Charles [. Proctor called on Mr.. Ka-
few, Of Oyster House, No. 3 Exchange
place, Jersey City, and said his occu-
patton was q sculptor, and he wished
to rent the second floor of Mr.. Kafew's
building for business purposes g He
appeared so respectable that Mr.. Ka-
few unhesitatingly rented him part of
his second floor, the wall of which
joined that of the First National Bank
Proctor paid Mr.. Kafew so in advance
for one months rent, and imme-
diately began moving some lug,
gage into, the bed room La
three or four days afterward he
was joined by two middle-aged men,
who brought with them a number of
images, statues, and lot of tools, which
afterwards proved to be burglars tools
Of the most improved make They at
tended to their business so quietly that
Mr. Kafew congratulated himself on
having gooa tenants, and paid no atten-
ton to their movements. Mrs. Jane
Bemers, however, who lives on the
same floor, soon began to suspect that
there was something wrong about them.
She saw them passing repeatedly, in
the middle of the night, in their stock
ings, and with their shoes in their
hands, through the hallway, walking
with extreme caution. She finally in
formed Mr.. Kafew. He went to police
headquarters and informed the Cap
tam, who went at midnight with ten Of
ficers to Kafew's house. All wore rubber
shoes Two men were stationed at the
entrance to the stairway, two Others
gained the roof Of the building, and the
captain and six officers assembled the
stairway, and, without warning, burst
in the door, and covered the burglars
with revolvers. Three men were found
busily at work removing bricks and
mortar from the wall, in which they had
made hole four feetin width and three
in depth. They had but to remove an.
other brick and they would have been
in the vault. The officers succeeded ID
Handwriting them before they were
able to seize the revolvers and bowie,
knives which were laying by there
sides. Close u the hole in the wall
stood box, ten feet long filed with
brick and mortar There was also il
the room a, large trunk filled with
burglars tools of the most improved
pattern.

Charles Lever. the Novelist.

Charles Lever, the well-known Irish
novelist, whose death is reported by
cable, was born at Dublin, Aug. 81,
1906. He studied for the medical pro
fession, first at Trinity College, Dublin.
then on the Continent, took his degree
at Gottingen, and was attached to the
British Legation at Brussels as phys
ician. This post he resigned to take
the editorship of the Dublin University
Magazine, 3 place which he filed for
some years. He resigned it about 1910
and went to Florence, where he has
since resided as consul.
The best known OF Levers many sue
cessful books is "Charles O'Malley,
the Irish dragoon.' Among the others
of a similar character may be mention
ed "Jack Hinton, the Guardsman, ,
''Tom Burke, of Ours" Maurice
Tiernay, the Soldier of Fortune, % "Ccr
Cregan,' and Harry Lorrequer.
Each of these books was pervaded by a
reckless, rollicking, devil-may-care
spirit of Irish humor. Mickey Free
is probably the best known and best
drawn of his characters of this class
His other well known works were '..The
Dodd Family Abroad, y Arthur TEN
pleton,p Davenport Dunn" "Ro
land Cashel,' and "sThe Knight Of
| Gwynne, probably the best of then
| all. Of late years he has rested hi,
reputation almost entire on his contri
buttons to Blackwood's Magazine, arti
-cles of political. social, and literary
character, over the signature of Z" Cor
nelius O'Dowd," which attracted mucf
attention. Lever did not excel in analy
sis of character, but was happy as
descriptive writer, possessed of {
boundless fund of humor, close OBJ
server of men and manners, and a move
list who never permitted the interest o.
action of his story to flag for a moment
| His latest work. Lord Kilgobbin,'
has just been published, and in its
preface he alluded in touching terms
to his approaching end, premonitions
of which seem to have fastened them
selves firmly upon his mind.

AN AWKWARD MISfAEE.
Consequences of f1ndistanct writing

II .rf5 From the N M;ner s JoUrrs'
A curious story was cdrrent in West
End (London) circles some years ago.
The Duke of Wellington received a
note which he believed amaaased .z.rom
the Bishop of London, rec, 1ze1oii,e, per-
mission "to sketch dltne Wa, ,esIoo
, breeches." The DuKe, .VhoGgh both
alarmed and surprised, lmnediatelv
: ordered the I" small clothes y to be eor-
warded to st James square, with the
following Characteristic epistle: stF.
| NJ, the Duke Of Wellington, presents
his compliments 20 the Bfshop of Lon
don, and is not awa-e tha6 me breeches
ne wore on the occasion OF The batlle of
! Waterloo differ ma, erial:y &rcm any
other pair in his grace's possession,
/ but they are very much at 5lie Bishops
service, and he can make any use of
them he thinks proper ry
The Bishops CONSERVATION on re-
ceipt ofthe above, with the accompany
ing parcel, had the effect Of inducing
him Immediately to. order his carriage
and drive to the prime minister wilh
this sad proof of the ewreck of his grace's
mental powers, whilst the duke, y on
the other hand, mounted his horse and
rode to the residence of the lord chan
cellor with similar announcement in
respect to the bishop, producing the
note he had that morning received. On
a closer examination it was discovered
that the writer was not the bishop of
London, but Miss Loudon, y daughter
OF the great landscape gardener, and
herself an artist of some celebrity, ask
ing his grace's permission to sketch,
not the "Waterloo breeches,n but
elump of trees at Strathfeidsaye, known
as the g Waterloo beeches." The duke
had mistaken ''Loudon" for HLon-
don, !" the bishops usual signature, the
initials being, singularly enough, the
same in both cases. ~ = -.a

Tie German Emigrants Men of Means.


The emigration movement which has
assumed such considerable proportions
IN Germany, especially in Mecklenburg
and certain parts of East Prussia, has
been the subject of brief debate IN
the German Parliament Alarm has
been excited in the official breast, and
also among the inhabitants, as appears
from a petition presented recently from
the dwellers in the deserted districts
who have preferred to remain at home.
| AS remedy for the evil, the petitioners
suggest the peremptory suppression OF
the emigration agencies, which they re-
gard as the root of the disease. In the
course of the debate on the subject, one
deputy remarked that the emigrants
are not mainly Of the poorer classes,
but consist largely of small
proprietors, grown hopeless of prosper
TWIN their own land, and drew the
conclusion that there was something
rotten in the state of " the new and SO
splendid German Empire. Another
orator, of the feudalist party, laid the
whole blame, like the petitioners, on
the irresistible Establishments of the
emigration agents. He mentioned the
case of one district containing about
so. 900 inhabitants, of whom 1,500 have
emigrated during the current spring,
| and the movement is still going on at
the rate of from 800 to 400 a fortnight.
The company of Landwehr of the dis
t1ict had lost by this means half of its
men. The emigrants leave the old men
and the infrm in the village, and those
unable to provide for their own sup
port become a charge on the public
funds. I. .fr .a Ga. @ q

Thn Pr suit of Sniannn-

Throughout the recent fearful erup-
ton Of Mount Vesuvius, Professor Pal,
m1en has rem aimed steadfast at his
post, giving to the world accounts. OF
the different phenomena connected
with the wonderfully grand outburst of
tlre from the bowels of the earth. The
London Telegraph says:
1t is hardly an exaggeration to say
that the attitude1 of Signor Palmieri
cool and resolute in his Vesuvian
post-like sTeneritfe or Atlas unremov-
ed'-attracts European admiration. It
is no joke to remain while everybody
else is hying-to watch the lava advanc-
ing all round the little crest on the side
Of the mountain on which his observa-
tory is placed, and there, as Words
worth says, to feel the pulse of the
machine, the big monster of natural
mechanism and force that sends its
tumultuous throbs the foundations of
the building, and salutes it's scientific
fr1end ever and anon with shower of
burning ashes and fiery stones. Indeed,
the Professors courage has done I'M us
tlce TO another of his rare qualities, for
1t has thrown into the shade his power
OF scientific provision. Fully month
before the agreeable showers of red
hot ashes saluted him in his observa-
tory he had discerned that his Plutonic
friends meditated mischief. During
the previous full moon he had remark
ed III the Atrio del Cavallo that the la
va was boiling up. When the moon
again reached the full the stream, which
acts as permanet waste-pipe percepti-
bly, enlarged its volume. 1t overfowed
anew the footpath which visitors, in
ascending and descending, had worn in
the old bed of lava. By these indica-
tlons Prof. Palmieri read beforehand
the dangerous task which Vulcan was
preparing for him. With his life in
his hand, he established himself in the
midst OF circle of craters Observing
their eccentricities as he might have
watched the harmless movements of 81
planet he has, no doubt, collected a
mass OF volcanic data far exceeding i'll
scientific value, any that have ever be-
lore been harvested on the sulphurous
soil OF Yesuvius. -af-
