There is something singular, and

There is something singular, and
quite romantic to those sober folks,
the botanists, in the fact that the
track Of the Prussian armies in
France, their camping grounds, the
siege lines and often their bivouacs,
are marked not with flowers of France
but of the Fatherland. Around Par
is even the same phenomenon is
seen. Hundreds offlowers, unknown
hitherto to French soil, but loved OF
the German heart have sprung up
and fourished in congenial soil. So
that the Prussian army, formerly
traced by bloody fields, wrecked
ambulances, and all the horror and
the confusion of frightful war, can
now be followed by the skillful botan-
ist by the strange flowers blooming
in the lanes and fields and the Dor.
ders of the vineyards.

with energy and JUNCTION on the evils
Of the times, and in one of his flights
he exclaimed, "show me drunk

solemnly, 'tHere | am, sir; here

ShOpIifting ON a Large Scale

The Syracuse STANDARD is indignant be-
cause Governor Dix has pardoned Mrs. Sny-
der, an old shoplifter of that city. 1t says:
Many have thought that the goods which
Mrs. Snyder took from Syracuse merchants
were all recovered. Such seems not to have
been the fact. The adroit thief had been
plying her trade here quit successfully, and
for some time before she was discovered.
After her conviction she boasted to one of
our officers that she had been through Syrar
cuse before, and that she ''had stolen in one
hour fifteen hundred dollars worth of goods"
Mrs, Snyder is understood to be connected
in Cleveland, Ohio, with person who is en-
she pursues. This person is the keeper Of
what is known in rogues' parlance as a
fence 1t is place where stolen goods are
received and sold. After the Snyder's con-
viction hele and sentence to ten years inn
prisonment, brother-in-law came on to spy
out the situation. He came here with his
pockets lined with money, and approaching
well-krown and honest citizens offered them
some of our large sums for their cooperation
In obtaining pardon. , rs
1t may be interesting to our readers to
know that Mrs. Snyder boasted to one of our
officers OF having been worth $4,000, all of
which she had made by stealing. She fur
ther affirms that she owned two brown stone
fronts in New York city, and these she had
paid for out of her own earnings, by the sale
of goods which she had stolen in various
cities. When arrested here with her COM
panion she was on her regular quarterly tour
through the State. I stole $2S, 900 in one
yearF' said the Snyder. This Is the woman
whom Governor Dix has pardoned.

EnOch Arden Ontd0ne.

IN the year 1859 a negro named Henry
Cobb was slave for planter named Cobb
in Tensas parish, Louisiana. In July of
that year the levee broke away and the Mis-
sissippi devastated a large share of the planta-
tion. The slave above mentioned was one
of the seven or eight most trustworthy men
on the plantation, who were hired out for
the time being until the levee had been re-
paired and the land put in order to be work.
ed. Cobb was hired on mail packet, and
continued there for three months. One day,
when the boat lay at Vicksburg, alongside a
Cairo packet, he failed to perform certain
job of work to the satisfaction Of the captain,
who was determined on sending him ashore
and having him ''dressed down. for his neg
ligenee. Cobb, greatly frightened, secreted
himself on board the Cairo boat, and landed
in Illinois without being discovered. He
was forwarded to Detroit by the underground
railroad, and since 1851 has lived at or near
Chatham, Ontario, under The name of Ham,
mond. He had been marie three years
when he left the plantation, but knowing that
there was no prospect of getting his wife
away, he married again after settling at Chat
ham.
The first wife continued in slavery for sew
eral years, and was living as slave at Holly
Springs, Missouri, when the emancipation
proclamation freed her. She came North,
living in Cincinnati, Chicago and other places,
and two years ago was married to a colored
man named Samuels, and is the mother of a
child by him. The family came to this city
about seven weeks ago. Saturday last, as
Mrs. Samuels was at the City Hall Market, a
hand was laid on her arm and she nearly
tainted away as she turned and saw her old
husband. They sat down on bench and
talked, laughed and cried together, until
their story was known to hundred persons.
Hammond $ wife has been i'll of consumption
for a loi 6 time, and he was in Detroit to see
a relative of hers. Just what arrangements
the two slaves made is not known. but she
abandoned Samuels, her home and child Sun
day night, and probably left for Canada witt
Hammond, perhaps to remarry. Mr.. Sam
uels had been informed of the meeting Sat
urday, and yesterday when he told the polio,
that his wife had disappeared he declared tina
he would not pursue, hardly blaming her i
she had returned to the old love.-Detroi

"Chalking the Hat.o

The origin of "chalking the hat" says the
Cincinnati Commercial, was due to Admiral
Reside, in the days when Congressman went
numbering over the distant States in stage
coaches. At the annual adjournment Of
Congress Admiral Reside would pass his
friends ofthe two houses over his stage lines
after the following fashion:
"Mr. c., suppose you are going back to
Lexington? l will pass you through on my
coaches" "All right, but how will your
agents along the road know this fact9
Just give me your hat" Upon the tile be-
ing passed over, this Napoleon of the stage,
taking piece of chalk from his pocket, would
ground a peculiar hieroglyphc, impossible to
Counterfeit, and hand it back to the owner
with the remark: "Just show that to my
agents along the route"

''that if spiritual beam should penetrate

she would be heard from by her countrymen
