A SWINDLER TRAVELLING WESTWARD.

The Omaha Herald, of the 10Th instant
says ga young man called yesterday at the
Union Pacific general ticket office, and re-
quested a confidential interview with the
gentleman who is in charge. This being ac-
corded him he mysterously folded back the
lapel of his vest and showed a small me-
tallic shield with the word "Detective" on
it in raised letters. Then he gravely point
ed to pair of handouts which he carried
in an inside pocket. He explained that he
was in the employ of the Government Sc
cret Service, and had started for western
city on the line Of the road. He had lost
his wallet containing his money and his tick
cts. He had but 50 SO in change. The
man lie was going for was "shovng the
queer" up the road, and must be stopped.
The jealous detective must 80 after his man
even if he had to walk, or do any other
unseemy thing. After some delay, it was
decided to issue the detective II pass, pro-
vided he would sign an order on the Secret
Service Department for bis pay. Of course
he would and he did Then he took lis
pass and departed. He had only left the
Office a few minutes when message went
over the wire to Washington, and presently
an answer came that no man Of the name
given was in the employ of the Secret Ser
vice. He was then on the westward bound
train with his pass in his pocket, but tee-
OF ,n was sent ahead to the next station di-
rccting the conductor to take up that pass
and collect full fare. 1t was done, and it
was found that the funds of the wandering
fraud were by no means confined to 81 so.

bore him sons and daughters, several Of
who m are living, married and comfortably

ban sailed on his final voyage to Cuba, and
no word from him, his vessel or crew, have
ever been received since. The ship undoubt-
cdly ioundered and carried down all on board

He used it a few years and then knocked it

NJ. THIERs' POPULARITY. One of the
correspondents of the Independence Beige
represents the state of feeling in the depart
ments as exceedingly friendly to NJ. Thiers.
There is no mistaking the fact, he writes,
that the gratitude of the population is en-
trely toward the ex-President. "To NJ.
Thiers, and NJ. Thiers alone, is attributed
the honor of obtaining the liberation of the
territory. For the rest, after the evacua-
ton had been fairly completed, documents
will be published which will make manifest
more than ever the services of the last
President of the Republic. The public
will then know all that was necessary III
super.human efforts, in pressure, even il
m naces, in order to save the iron plated
squadron, which was the object of great
anxiety to NJ. Thiers. 1t will then also be
seen that even after the conclusion of the
treaty of peace, Belort was anew threaten
ed by the claims of the conqueror
and that other unheard-of efforts o
patriotism We're rendered to preserve thai
last lulwark of our national security" The
same correspondent says the reports of the
prefets on the state of French commerce
have been received by the Ministry, nc
they all declare the situation TO be deplora
