Story OF the Little Boy.

Mr.. Stephens (Hon. A. II. } OF Georgia
in n recent address ut meeting in
Alexandria for the benefit Of an orphan
~ YUM and free school OF that city re-
lated the following accident: "A poor
little boy, on n cold night, with no house
or roof to shelter his head, no paternal,
maternal, guardian or guide to protect
or direct him ON his way, reached at
nghtfall the home OF wealthy planter,
who took him in, fed and lodged him,
and sent him on his way with his bless
ing. These kind attentions cheered his
heart and inspired him with fresh cour-
age to battle with the obstacles Of life.
Years rolled Providence led him on,
and he reached the legal profession.
His host had died 4; the cormorants that
prey on the substance Of man had FORM
ed conspiracy to get from the widow
her estates. She sent for the nearest
counsel to commit her cause to him,
and that counsel proved to DO the or.
phan boy long before welcomed and
entertained by her deceased husband.
The stimulus of warm, tenacious graft
tude was now added to the ordinary
motive connected with the profession.
He undertook her case with will not
to be resisted 4; he gained it ; the widows
estate was secured to her in perpetuity,
and" Mr.. Stephens added, with an
emphasis of emotion that sent an electric
thrill throughout the house, "that boy
stands before you."

A Ticket Ring.

About three months since j. B. Eli
son, superintendent OF the line between
Cincinnati and Columbus, and Col.
O'Brian, general passenger agent, were
informed by conductor who had passed
safely through all the spotting tests,
that there were something wrong in the
tickets for passage from Cincinnati to
Pittsburgh. The frequency with which
old tickets were handed in by passen-
gers did not allow of any doubt that
there was fraud in the Business some
where. These officers Immediately en-
ployed detective to work up the case.
They supplied him with money, and he
had tickets purchased Of the agents in
Cincinnati by various parties.
Out of twenty-five thus procured in
one week, twenty-one were OF back
dates. 1t was found that the conduc-
tors implicated between Cincinnati and
Pittsburgh took up the through tickets
without tearing Of the coupons or
punching them, and gave their checks
for the next conductor to take up. They
then sold the tickets back to vendors
and agents in Cincinnati, Columbus and
Pittsburgh, Mt about half their value.
This has been going on for at least two
years, and at the rate at which it was
being done during the time occupied
by the detective in the investigation
the daily average along the line must
have been over one hundred dollars.
On Thursday one of the conductors
CIV. M. RusselD charged with this bust
ness vas arrested on II warrant for en-
bezzlement and taken to the Hammond
street station by the detective.
Other arrests will be made sosn, and
quite a squad of employees will be dis
charged. Some have already been sent
adrift. One of the Columbus men i'm.
plicated, an agent named Hunter, came
to Cincinnati on Tuesday at Col. O'Bri-
ans request. He had been told that he
was wanted in regard to some printing.
When he was ushered into Col. O'Bri-
ans Office, in the presence of the detec-
tive, and informed that all had been
discovered, he tainted dead away. He
had nine tickets in his pockets. He is
supposed to have been doing the bust
ness for the conductors in Columbus.
The managers of the road have an idea
that this practice has not been confined
to their line alone, and that there will
be n general stirring up on many roads
in the same way.

A New Confidence GAMF.-A "

A New CONFIDENCE GAME.-A we'll
dressed young man stopped at Yer
mont hotel last week, for few days,
and made aequaintances. The evening
of the second day of his arrival nice
young lady came along, unattended,
and instantly attracted the attention of
the impossible youngsters, who cam
vassed her charms fully as they sat
apart from her at supper. The stranger
youth even went so far as to say that
he would marry her if she would have
him, and offered, for substantial
wager, to pop the question and have
the marriage ceremony performed right
away. The wager was accepted, and
also the proposal of marriage, made so
suddenly to her by the young man, and
the parson called in, who soon united
the twain. The sum wagered was paid
over to the happy bridegroom, and he
and his bride set out next day on their
marriage tour. What lends romance
to the circumstance is the fact that the
young couple had already been man
and wife for year.

Too Anxious to be Thought a Muir.

London has a new diversion. An in
dividual, anxious for sport, gets drunk
and then hands himself over to the po-
lice as the perpetrator of some shocking
murder, recently committed, i'll which
the murderer has heretofore been nm
discovered After giving the police
and newspaper reporters much trouble,
the amateur murderer regains sobriety,
declares his innocence and is discharg-
ed. This joke is gil tly, but on sew
eral occasions it was successfully prac-
tised, although the last attempt at it
will probably cause it to be abandoned
A little girl named Harriet Boswell was
recently murdered in Great Coram
street, and there was much excitement
over it, and an unsuccessful search for
the murderer, until Mr.. George Cooper
presented himself at the police station,
that he had done the deed for friend
of his in consideration of $500. He
was kept in jail over night, and next
morning arranged in Bow street, where
upon he calmly announced that his
whole story was falsehood, his only
excuse for telling it having been that
he had been drinking whiskey and
old ale for week. and had touch of
delirium tremens. He expected to be
discharged, as previous iokcrs of the
same sort had been, but the magistrate
thought proper to look at the matter in
q different light, and he remanded
Cooper to hard labor for month pend
ing further inquiries. The magistrate
said he did not sIIDpoen that Coopnr
really was the murderer, but the whole
affair justified his being remanded in
custody, and, besides, little hard
work and total abstinence from "whis-
key and old ale would do him no harm.
SO the crestfallen Joker was taken back
to Jail, and the popular but CHASTITY
diversion has received merited re-
buke. -PhiLaaeiphia Lcdaer.

The Same Old Horror.

When custom once becomes firmly
established, it is nearly impossible to
suddenly break it mp. SO it is with the
custom which has long prevailed among
pedestrians, of walking on a railway
track, and stepping out of the way of q
train approaching on one track, direct
ly in the way of another train on the
other track. This feat is one which is
extremely easy of performance, but ex-
cept to those wishn.. TO commit suicide,
it is nearly always very unsatisfactory
one. Two men tried it the other day,
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
and must have been disagreeably aston
ished by the suddenness with which an
unexpected train proceeded to dissect
them. So many men have been killed
In precisely the same way, that every
one knows the danger of stepping on to
railway track without looking to see if
a train is approaching. The practice
has attained the dignity of . custom in
some parts of the country, and warning
and remonstrance seem to be of no avail
against it.
