A farmer in the far west had neighbor who
was keeping pauper on contract at his house
In the corn.hoeing season the man sometimes
borrowed his neighbours pauper to help in the
corn.field. Bill Turner had pauper working
for him, and as none of the people 10 the neigh.
borhood had ever seen puuper, they were anx.
ious to get peep at him. Consequently some
twenty of them joined together, armed with
their shot.guns and rifles, aud went over to
Turner's to zee the strange creature. They got
cautiously over the fence and came to where the
men were working.
"Bill,' said Silas Brown. their spokesman,
"we've heard you've got pauper working for
You, and we'd like to see it."
Bill thereupon pointed out the object of their
curiosity. The visitor walked around the AS.
toni-hed pauper, and silently surveyed him
from every point Of view. At last Silas spoke :
Look here, Bill Turner" said he, "you can't
fool us that's man."

From Ncyy York.

New YORK, Sept IS.
The examination Of the securities on
the bail bond Of James H. Ingcrsol, for
100000 began to-day.
Ann Keenan, was closely examined
to-day. In giving her testimony regard
ing the Nathan murder, she described
the appearance or Forresteron the night
she saw him near Nathans house. as
wild and excited. She spoke to no one
but her mother about seeing Forester.
until some time after the murder Of
Nathan. The further hearing was adj
journcd until Monday next. VIM. F.
Howe appeared as Forrestcr's counsel.
The situation in Wall street, this morn
ing, was alarming, the Germans held ON
tcnaciously to the Erie corner, and the
Smith Gold party were eager for another
fray. They had concluded that the
condition of the importing interests fay-
ored the squeeze in gold, and brought
down some of the heaviest importers in
the city. They estimated thc resources
of the Treasury department.. and felt
certain thatthe Secretary could not come
to the relief of the street. But there
came an Indication that the Treasury de
partment would not remain passive. At
noon the offerings of bonds open
ed at the Treasury, and they
found the amount S+.753, $50 at
ITO 87-100 a 112 75-1OO. With more
than the usual promptitude the an
nounCcment was made that the Secrc-
tary would take S3,000.O0O instead of
81, 1000, 900, as advertised This was an
Indication that the Secretary intends to
be prepared to sell more than the adj
Vertised amount Of gold, tomorrow, and
thus aid in breaking the corner in gold
coin. The effect Of these tactics was
felt in the Gold Exchange. where the
price suddenly fell to 1133, the lowest
of the day. The rate for cash coin
dropped to 1-16 per day, against 7 per
this morning, and gold operators breath
ed freely, as nothing more than run
ming fight could be kept up.
In the money market, this afternoon,
the turn of the day was so decidedly
against the lookup party, and the price
fell to six per cent, though the closing
rate was Coz per cent. The treasury
purchases of bonds was made more ser
yiceable by payment being made in legal
tender, The high rates of money, yes
terday, attracted much capital to the
street, to-day, and this was supplement-
ed by fresh supplies of gold and, conse-
quently, of currency. On the top of
this came the relief from the treasury,
and the result is q great disaster is avert

Eighteen Thousand Majority i'm
Maine.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 49,
Complete official returns, from the
several congressional districts in this
State, have been received at the Office Of
the Secretary of State, and will be pub
lished in detail, in the Kennebec Journ-
al of tomorrow morning. The Repub-
lican majorities are as follows: In the

jority; in the second district Mr.. Frye
has 4, 157; in the third, Mr. Blaine has
1850; in the fourth, Mr.. Hersey has
$3.50; in the fifth, Mr.. Hale has 3,031.
The aggregate majorities is 1882,
against an aggregate of 9,G45 at the pre-
ceding congressional election in 1870.
Governor Perhams majority falls about
one thousand behind thes aggregate con-
gressional majOrities, owing to the dis
tuTbance of the ciderlaw and other local
issues. In the first, second, third and
fifth congressional districts there was
not a single scattering vote thrown; and
in the fourth district there were but
three scattering votes This is unpre-
cedented in Maine elections.

York police, a trained detective of prov
en- skill, exhausted his bodily and mental
powers in the search and died of the
disappointment consequent upon his fail
ure. Forrester's likeness was taken and
sent on handbills with the offer of the
reward for his capture throughout every
State and Territory of the Union.
The strangest part of this mans
strange history is that while thus hunt
ed by every detective in the land with
most mems hands against him, and with
a reward of thousands of dollars offered
for his apprehension, he is said to have
lived within half a mile of the scene of
the murder, and in constant intercourse
with the members of the police force.
Forester was brought to the Tombs
Police Court yesterday, and pleaded an
emphatic denial of his alleged connec-
ton with the greatest tragedy on the
criminal calender of New York, and
his examination was set down for We'd
nesday next A writ of habeas corpus
was sued out by his counsel, made re-
turnable this morning lat the Supreme
Court Chambers. but his counsel have
decided on not serving it pending the
examination. This was q serious dIsap-
pOintment to the crowd that thronged
the court room, eager to catch a glimpse
Of the most famous craftsman, and per-
haps the most brutal murderer of his
day, with chance Of hearing q chapter
or two of his history. Forester is a
man Of middle size, 1.-THE and active, dark
c0mpleXiOned, handsome and good hui
mOred. He is some thirty-eight years
of age, but does not look it. There is
nothing in his quiet, atfable manner, nor
in his pleasing COuntcnanCe to Indicate
the dare devil he has been proven to be,
the foul murderer that men call him. So
far as the public know there is no proof
to connect him with the latter offcnse,
but it is assumed that Superintendent
kClSO, who has worked so hard is this
case, possesses evidence to Justify his
action in the the premises.
Forester takes the matter very cool
lY. When he was first marked out as
the Nathan murderer, he wrote from
one Of his nnpenetrable or undiscOvera-
bic retreats, offering to surrender himself
for trial on that charge if protected
against the men who sought him for
other offences, and he expresses the ut
most confidence in his acQuittal when
ever he is brought to trial He says
that he can establish an 0ijbj at the time
that Mr.. Nathan was killed. on uncOn-
