THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR
IN RUSSIA.

If only half the shrewdness which
thieves display in planning and exc
cutting their depTedatiOns was exerted
In an honest way, many convicts
would now be sure Of wealth and pO-
sitiOn. 1t is also singular that the
genius and tact with which 3 crime is
planned seems to give place to stupid
ity as soon as the Offense has been
committed. \ new illustration OF the
mingled sharpness and folly of crimi-
nails has recently been afforded at st.
Petersburgh.
On the night of the 18th Of June
last, four public buildings were robbed
of precious stones, valued at nearly
S401, 900. From the golden pillars Of
the CZarina's private chapel in the
Winter Palace six magnificent eme-
raids and twelve tOpazes were taken /;
the Grand Dukes palace on the New
ski Prospect had been entered, and
the splendid diamond cross, given by
Napoleon l. to Alexander l., carried
away from the museum the Acade-
my of Sciences had been despOiled of
some of its most valuable mineralOgi-
cal specimens, while the Museum of

ing eighty pounds, and many costly
gems. The doors next morning were
found open, though they had been
carefully locked at night, and no un-
usual noises had been heard. Experts
testified that that the locks had not
been picked, but opened with keys,
and the robbery of the chapel, an act
which a Russian would regard as sac
rilegious, convinced the authorities
thas the robbers must be foreigners.
The hotels were visited by detect
ives travellers baggage was exam
ined lists of recent visitors to the
pillaged edifice were carefully studied,
and finally heavy reward was offered
but all to no purpose. A week had
elapsed, and the officials were as puZ-
zled as ever, when a lady called upon
the Prefect of Police, who gave her
name as Davis. Her husband, VIM.

FIyANRR IN THE NEST.

4 movement is on foot in Chicago
and other western cities, relative to
the present stringeney in the money
market, for urging upon Congress the
passage Of law, of which the follow
ing are the main points: To permit
any holder of $4,000, or multiple
thereof, of any United States gold
bearing bonds to deposit the same
temporarily at the Sub-Treasury or
designated repositories in New York
San Francisco, New Orleans, or Chi
cago, under regulations to be made by
the Secretary of the Treasury, and re-
lease an amount of legal tenders equal
to the face of said bonds temporarily
deposited, and on presentation of a
like sum in United States notes at the
place where said bonds were Temporal
rily deposited, to receive the said
bonds, or their equivalent in kind,
less the interest which would have
accrued during the time said bonds
were deposited, the converter or retirer
of bonds as aforesaid to adjust by pay
ment in gold the value at the time of
conversion and withdrawal, whether
the same be presented by coupon or
otherwise, as may be provided by the
regulations established by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and, provided
further, that the Secretary of the
Treasury be required to hold in re-
serve United States legal tenders to
the amount of $40, 0,000, 600, TO be used
for the purpose of temporarily retiring
bonds, as aforesaid but said notes
shall not be used for any other pur-
pose, nor shall the whole amount of
legal tenders. including those which
may be held in reserve and those
which may, at the time, be held in

TIE WHITE SLAVE TRADE.

The Baltimore WeeEeF calls atten-
ton to the large number of youthful
Italians who, so long as the weather
will permit, perambulate the streets
of our cities, are found on steamboats,
and ferries, in companies of two or
three boys and girls, with sereeehing
violins and harps or singing anything
but melodious italian songs. No one,
saws the TYeckCr, can see these chill
dren without being struck with their
precoeity, their bold and impertinent
manner and air. 1t is scarcely pOssi-
BILE to feel anything like sympathy for
them, and vet these uIfOrtunates are
most deserving OF pity. They are the
victims OF eupidity who have never
known the joys of childhood, whose
home is the street. In the truest sense
of the word they are slaves-white
slaves, Hundreds of these little waits
are sent over from Italy every year by
their ignorant parents, and hired out
to Italians, naturalized in this eOun-
try, for term of years. As soon as
the children arrive on American soil
their training begins. A few weeks
of instruction is sufficient to send the
little ones outin thestreetand through
the country at large as musicians to
earn their own frugal fare and seant
clothing, and to help fill the Golfers
of their masters If the earnings Of
the day are not satisfactory to these
latter, the rod is freely applied. Thus
the childhood and youth of these un-
fortunates is spent in misery, Oft
times, too, in sin, until, having out
grown the rod Of their taskmasters,
and debased in mind, and scbooled in
iniquity, they are let loose on society
to avenge themselves for the wrongs
of their childhood.
A late telegraphic despatch from
New York speaks Of this matter as
something entirely new. 1t is not
new thing at all, but has existed for
large number of years; and the only
reason why the thing hiss not been
brOaehed before is that no one has
seemed to specially concern himself
about these street gypsies. Let us,
however, hope that now public atten-
tion will be directed to this matter in
such a manner as to induce the au-
thorities to put stop to this Infamous
white slave trade for all time to come.

The Origin of "AuId Robin Gray"

The authors of the "Songstresses of
Scotland tell the story in this way.
There was an old Scotch air mot,
however, to which the song is now
sung, for that we owe to an English
clergyman of which Lady Anne Ber-
nard was very fond, and which Soph
Jobnstone was in the habit of sing
ing TO words that were far from choice.
1t struck Lady Ann that she could
supply the air with tale of virtuOus
distress in humble life with which all
could sympathize. Robin Gray was
the name of shepherd at Balcarres,
who was familiar with the children of
the house. He had once arrested
them in their flight to an indulgent
neighbOr's. Lady Anne reYenged this
arrest by seizing the old mans name,
and preventing it from passing into
foTgetfulness. While she was in the
act of heaping misfOrtUnes on the
heroine Ieanie, her sister Elizabeth,
twelve or thirteen years her junior,
strayed into the little room, and saw
"Sister Annie" at her eseritoir. ''I
have been writing a ballad, my dear, ;"
the frank elder sister told her little
cOfdante; land am expressing my
heroines with many misfortunes. /
have already sent Jamie to sea, bro
ken her fatheIis arm, and made her
mother fall sick, and gave her auld
Robin for lover, but I wish to load
her with a fifth sorrow in the four
lines. Help me I pray" 'Steal the
COW, Sister Annie" said the little
Elizabeth. The COW was Immediate
ly lifted, and the song completed

"GOOD BYE COLONEL p

The too profuse use Of the title Of
"ColOneI, :" elicits tie following peril
nent remarks of the Philadelphia
Post: ITO call q man q Colonel is
to convey the idea that heis of mild g,
meek and benevolent disposition. It
is also an evidence tnat he was never
a soldier. For instance we may recall
some of the Colonels of Philadelphia
There is Colonel Forney, Colonel Me
Clure, Colonel MeMichael, Colonel
Scott, Colonel Mann, Colonel Fitz
gerald, Colonel Phillips, Colonel
Kutehen, Colonel Green and Colonel
Fritz. OF what regiment? And we
might mention many more gentle
men of high standing who have new
er been in the army, anu can only be
called Colonel as a tribute to their an
tipathy to blood, If every Colonel
was a soldier, the standing army in
Philadelphia would be q menace 20
our liberties. Their number is as
great as 1t was in San Francisco, 10
which John Phoenix bore witness in
the following story:
"The steamboat was leaving the
wharf, and everybody was taking
leave of friends-all but PhGniX-
who had no friends to bid him fare
well. Ashamed of his loneliness, as
the boat sheered off called in loud
voice, Good bye. ColOnelr and to

father. That morning she had re-
eeived note from him, saying that
he no longer loved her, and that she
would never see him again. She i'm
plored the Prefeet to bring him back
10 her.
The surveillance Ofstrangers is very
strict in Russia, and the Prefect on
consulting his books, found that on
June 9TH Davis and Saunders had Wis
tied the public museums, and that on
the 18th they had been called upon in
regard to the robbelies, and offered to
open their trunks. The officer who
visited them had seen nothing suspi-
cious in their behavior. The Prefect,
having learned of the intimacy be-
tween Saunders and Davis, was struck
by the fact that they had been to the
museums so short time before the
robbery, and resolved to make further
Investigations. He sent Mrs. Davis to
her hotel, and dispatched a detective
to obtain from her all the information
possible. As the result of his inqui-
ries, he discovered that Davis and
Saunders had had taken a drosky
about four hours previous. The driver
of the drosky was found, and testified
that he had taken the fugitives to Pc
terhOff, where a travelling coach was
waiting for them.
Officers were hurried to that place..
and arrested the men. Davis seemed
to be much flurried, but Saunders was
very cool, and pretended TO be much
surprised at his arrest. The driver
said he had been paid large sum to
take them to Helsingfors, in Finland.
They were put in the coach and driv-
en- back to st. Petersburgh, where
they denied everything except Davis
intention to desert his wife. Nothing
was found in their trunks, but an eX-
animation of the coach exposed box
under the seat, in which some of the
stolen property was discovered. The
prisoners denied their guilt very
stoutly, bnt, on being threatened with
the lash, Davis confessed that he had
made false keys, at Saunders sugges-
ton, having taken wax impressions
of the locks while his accomplice di-
verted the attention of the keepers.
Saunders persisted in affirming his
innocence, but after repeated whip
pings, acknowledged his guilt.
Mrs. Davis was overwhelmed with
grief on hearing that her exertions to
recover her husband had resulted in
his arrest for robbery. She made earn
est but Intellectual attempts to obtain
his pardon. The offenders were tried,
convicted, and sentenced to hard labor
in the government mines. Mrs. Da-
Wis, who is an American, has declared
her intention of following her hus-
band to Siberia. He, it is said, is well
known In this country as the agent Of
a patent lock, but is accused of having
participated in other robberies than
those for which he is now undergoing
punishment.

4 BALLOON VOYAGE ACROSS THR
ATLANTIC.

The Philadelphia Star says: Prof.
John Wise, the well known eronaut,
has it in contemplation to make bal.
loon trip across the Atlantic next
summer, preparations for the great
aerial voyage being in process Of ar
rangement now. The Professor, it
will be remembered, made the famous
air trip from st. Louis to the eastern
extremity of Lake Ontario, distance
of over ], 200 miles, in the short space
of about 10 hours, or at the rate of
about 63 miles an hour. He feels en-
tirely confident of his ability to make
the quickest trip on record across the
Atlantic. Quite a number of scien-
tific gentlemen have made application
for permission to accompany him in
this greatest Of all ballooning expedi-
tions. AS showing how far America
is ahead in eronauties, so far as dis
thance travelled is concerned, the long
est trip ever made by an European
balloonist was only 400 miles, while
that of Prof. Wise's was three times
that distance, and, what is more, the
greater portion of it was accomplished
in the midst of a cyclone, and with
three passengers beside himself.

soldiers, lawyers, journalists, at the
dawn of active life. Their oppOsites
waste each New Year in wondering
what will happen when they grow to
be men; when the opportunity comes;
when life really opens wide. Hum
bic and timid, they fancy all other
men to be wiser or stronger than they.
At thirty, they hear with wonder that
ponder stalwart, thoughtful man,
whom, in old childish habit, they ad-
dress with deferential "sir," is only
thirty years old, too. At forty, they
still cling to their eonciliatory, depre-
catOry ways-feel like boys dodging
bewildered among men, though man
hood has encompassed them twenty
years. 1t comes upon them like q
shock to find their hair whitening,
and people describing them as the old
gentleman" while their feet are too
palpably sliding on the downhill
stretch. Till then, tney had never
thought themselves mature to a ca
reer, nor suspected that they had
reached the now.or-never Of life till
it was years away in the past. Such
men take an aroma of the cradle with
them TO the grave, only quitting their
first childhood when they enter the
second; ever are they dreaming Of the
possible suture, and proposing to turn
over the new leaf,-DrytlgoOd, 69
