A RICH widow was an oecunant Of +bo
Tombs in New York, from January 24tb
last, until February 14th. Her name was
Jane Curtis, and some months since she came
with her husband from California. The bus-
band died and she lived at boarding-house
in Amity street, where she soon became in
innate with another lady boarder The oath
ofJanuary was cold day, and she wished to
go out. Not having brought with her from
California sufficieney of clothing, she bor-
rowed velvet cloak belonging to her COM
panion, who was temporarily absent. While
she was out the companion returned home,
and missing the cloak, was told that Mrs.
Curtis was thief, she hastened to the nearest
police station to lodge complaint. On her
way she met Mrs. Curtis returning, and call
ing policeman had her arrested on a charge
oil the1t. Next morning the poor woman was
arraigned at the bar of jefferson Market pO-
lice court, and Notwithstanding her lady-like
appearance, earnest protestations of inno-
cenee and impassioned appeal for time to
prove who she was, the magistrate sent the
case for trial to the general sessions, fixing
her bonds at $500. Her money, of which she
had large sum in her possession, was worth
less as bail, and she had not friend within
5000 miles to whom she could apply. She
was sent to the Tombs and locked up in the
same cell with common thieves and prostl-
tutes, the city prison being oyercrowded.-
By means of liberal use of her funds she
contrived to have telegraphic dispatch sent
to friend Of her family, wealthy and re-
spected merchant of San Francisco, detailing
the circumstances of her cruel incarceration
and begging his assistance. Instantly he took
an eastern bound train, but was showed in
and detained for many days, delaying his ar
rival in New York until Wednesday morning
He hurried to Jefferson market and was di-
rected to the Tombs. Then he learned that
the case was called on the 14th of February
and dismissed, the complainant not appear
ing. A more consummate outrage was never
perpetrated, and if Mrs. Curtis doesn't retail
ate for it upon the magistrate who caused
her imprisonment she will herself be deserv-
ing of censure

'DoN'T DO so ANY MORE PA charm
ing actress who plays light parts in one Of
our theatres, who is also an excellent wife
and mother, has been annoyed by the over
whelming attentions of ayoung downtown
jeweler. At last his notes and bouquets be-
coming too frequent, she mentioned the fact
to her husband, who Immediately fired up,
and threatened to punish the infatuated
youth. A powerful athlete, he armed him
self with cane of the ''genus" bludgeon,
and left the hotel the next morning with the
avowed intenrion of giving his rival few
blows and teaching him to mind his own bus
mess. Entering the shop where he was EN-
ployed, he strobe hastily through and inquir-
ed Is there was young man named H.
There is,o said the owner OF the estab-
lishment; ''he is at the window, tinkering
watches. Mr.. H, you are wanted"
AS the little male first arose and confront
ed the large man, he trembled and turned
pale.
''Did you send my wife these notes? ?" said
he, producing some of the offending billet
dou1.
'I-I-yes-I did," stammered the cul-
prit, trembling in every limb. He saw the
weapon, and he thought his time had come.
'Well, well," said the broad-shouldered,
big-hearted actor, reaching over the counter,
and patting the poor frightened fellow gently
on the top of his head, ''look here, hubby, you
must not do so any more"
And he left poor H-to the tender mercies
of his fellow clerks.

JUDGE DAVIS ASA LABOR CANDIDATE
The New York Weekly Star-a recognized
Labor organ = thinks the nomination of
Judge Davis ''blunder," and favors Horace
Greeley. The statement is made that Davis
secured his nomination by liberal expendi-
ture of money; and where he got his money
is explained by saying that he is known in
the West as the man in public life who has
''the largest private fortune representing the
smallest honest effort" And the st. Louis
Democrat adds:
If you want to know where his millions
came from. ask the poor farmer of Illinois,
whom the panic of 1857 found in debt and
distress: ascertain how the necessities of the
poor of that time were the opportunities of
Judge David Davis, and how the title deeds
to his large estates were signed in suffering
and sealed in sorrow. He was one of the
few knowledge of whom would have ena-
bled Shakespeare to give us an Anglo-Saxon
''Shylock," and deprived the tribe Of Israel
of dramatic immortality. In all he did, he
doubtless did no wrong; We have never heard
his personal honor impeached, or his private
character brought into question. He simply
hung out three golden balls when times were
hard and money scarce; and when tired OF
pawnbroking he took down his sign and re-
tired from business to contemplate those
changing scenes of this wicked world, which

A CLASSICAL LoAFER-In Boone County,
XIV. there is family whose singular manner
of living and other peculiarities excite general
interest. The head of the family is native
of Scotland, an educated man, wen read, and
of fine conversational powers. He does moth
ing for the support of his family, and although
they are in an almost starving condition, is de-
voting his time to the study of the Greek Ian
guage While he is thus engaged, they are
living in miserable hut without floor or win
dows, and with scarcely food enough to keep
education nor sense; in fact, the only thing
she has worth speaking of is fits. She gives
the family what attention it gets, and prepares
the food sent them by neighbors, while her
husband is engaged in his classical studies, or
in prowling about the neighborhood, reading
essays to his acquaintance. People suppose
that he is crazy and in the Spring an effort
will be made to provide in some way for him
and his helpless family.
