THE GooDRIcH CAsE.-Nev York
March 2S.-The coroner's inquest in the
Goodrich case began in Brook yn this af.
te-noon. Several witnesses have been on
the stand, but thus far nothing new has
been elected. District Attorney Britton
expresses his belief that the woman ar
rested last night, Mrs. Myers, if she did
not commit the murder herself, knows all
about it. She admitted that Goodrich
paid her rent for her, and in fact kept,
her. Pro-. Boyle does not think this is
the woman he frequently saw with Good
rich. The mother of Mrs. Myers is re-
ported to DO an honest, respectable wo-
man. She greatly laments her daught-
er's arrest, says she was an honest, good
girl, and the main support of the family.
She said her daughter scarcely wen. out
evenings. She might have been out some
evenings last week, but she always came
home by ten o'clock. She frequently re.
ceived letters but never mentioned their
contents.
Several other Witnesses were examined
among them w. w. Goodrich brother
of the deceased, who testified that his
brother was largely indebted to him and
decided him the house on Degraw Street.
He frequently called on his brother and
on one occasion saw a woman in the
house Upon one Of the jurors asking if
he knew who the woman was, the coroner
asked him not to press the question at
he present time. Adjourned TILL Tues
day.
The woman arrested yesterday is now
in the custody of the coroner, and has
been removed to Jail.

At least six plots to assassinate the
late Louis Napoleon were made. IN
October, 1852, when Napoleon, who
was on the eve of becoming emperor,
was at Marseilles, an internal machine,
formed by $50 gun barrels, charged
with 1900 balls, was to have been dis
charged against the Prince and his
cortege, but the design was not carried
out. On July 5, 1853, a fresh attempt
was made to assassinate him as he was
going to the Opera Comique. Twelve
Frenchmen were arrested as CONCERN
ed in the conspiracy. On April %,
1855, Jean Liyerani fired two shots at
the Emperor in the Grand Avenue OF
the Champ Elysees. In 1857, Tribal
di, Bartolotti and Grill came from
England to Paris to assassinate the
Emperor, but were discovered, arrest
cd, tried and punished. On January
ID, 1858, Orsini, Gomez, Pieri and Ru-
dia threw their shells at the Emperor.
On December "a, 1868, Greco, Trabuc.
co, Imperatore and Scagliani, who had
gone from London with the intention
of killing the French Emperor, were
arrested in Paris.

A highly sensational account of "a

Pavy, which journeyed successfully to
the north pole and beyond, and lived
for several months OH the frozen car
casses of deceased mastodons, has
been going the rounds of tic Eastern
press for three or four weeks, and it is
probable ere now laundering through

expedition to the north pole, by NJ.

lily imposed upon by the great Arctic
Explorer whom they honored with
a splendid banquet the names of the
prominent officers of the Bohemian

expedition with NJ. Pavy, and the I'M
aginary account of the discoveries they
made is given with great circumsfan-
tiality. Traces of herds of.mastodons
were found, and even a well-preseryetl
specimen of the entire carcass of one
was discoverd, with the hide and hair
undecayed. The account seemed Sc

4 Bachelor on Babies.

There are great number of babies
in the world. Most of them are, how
ever, kept out of sight in cradles, hen
coops, attics, and old clothes baskets.
A man once told me the reason of this
is, because, if they were allowed to
crawl about the streets or the parks,
no one could stir out for fear OF walk
ing on them, or tripping over them;
in either of which cases, the people so
doing could be prosecuted by ourfriend
Bergh.
Babies are nearly all the same size.
When very small, they are called in
fants, and fed on butter, brown sugar,
and turpentine. Sometimes turpen-
tine rises to their heads, and they
behave in most outrageous manner.
I once saw all infant who had drank
too much turpentine sitting on Il pill
low on the ground, yelling at a res
pectable looking old lady, the infants
grand aunt, who had a lot OF money
in the funds. Whenever she pointed
her finger at the infant, it yelled louder
than ever, and tried to bite. The grand
aunt left the house, and settled all he1
money on an institution for elderly
unmarried women.
The education of babies is generally
in very backward state; indeed, the,
do not seem to know much OF the En-
glish language beyond the words "pa,
mamma" "me," ego" " "by." Thei1
attempts at French are even worse
they are continually using such low
French as "ajou," "ba-ba," /" "day
day." and "by-by.' A man once toll
me he had no doubt that babies ar,
descended from negroes, for they al
ways say me for 1.
Babies do not differ much in temper
size, or disposition. They are violent
about the size Of a pillow and cove
tOus.

he was at the time and this, Jolned
to the fact that he was a native OF a
town such short distance from Glas-
gov, in some measure confirmed the
evidence Of Fox. Finally, Brown was
remanded for few days, to enable us
to communicate with the authorities
at Glasgow, and to produce, if posi-
bic, further evidence. We im1nedi-
ately telegraphed to the chief Of the
police at Glasgow, stating that we had
arrested man named Brown for the
murder of the woman, and that the
prisoner was remanded from that day
Thursday until the following Mon
day. We received a telegram in re-
ply that they believed we had got the
right man, and that an officer would
be sent up to London III time for the
adjourned examination. Next morn
ing we had letter confirming the
telegram. The murder had, it ap-
peared, been quite q mystery to the
Glasgow Police until the day before
the receipt Of our message, when a
woman had been found who asserted
that she had seen the deceased on the
night of the murder in company with
a sailor named Brown, and that she
had watched them go into the house
together. The letter further stated
that an officer would arrive on Sun
day night to take charge of the pris-
oner.
In the meantime we kept sharp
watch upon Fox; but, apparently,
there was little occasion for it, as the
officer reported that he scarcely ever
left the house where he was staying,
and showed no desire to do SO. He
twice called upon me at the station,
and expressed great concern lest any
of Browns friends should get hold OF
him, as he felt sure that his life would
not he safe. Our men watched him
up to Saturday night, when, 80 con
vinced had we all become of his good
faith, that l asked my chief it he
thought it was necessary to continue
the surveillance. He agreed with me
that it was not, and the officers were
Withdrawn. On Sunday afternoon,
looked in to see Fox, to tell him that
we should want him at the Police
Court the next morning at eleven.
found him having his tea, and appar
emily quite at home in the comfortable
quarters l had provided.
That night met the Scotch office
at the Great Northern Station, wh'
congratulated me on the successful
arrest which had made. / admitted
that l thought there was some credi
Z, due to me, as there had been ditficul
ties in the way, and the prisoner bein!
such tall, powerful man, there ha.
been danger also. His reply took al
the breath out of my body!
"Eh, mon, there's some mistake
here. The mon we want is ss wee chap
nicknamed sRed- Head CHARLIE bu
whose real name is Brown, alias Fox
alias Sinclair, and q half IL dozen 9th
ers!"
A light broke in upon me in mo
ment. A few hasty words Of explain
alton to the Scotchman, and as fas
as a hanson cab could go, we tor
J down to Fleet street, but arrived to
late, for the bird had flown. Fox, til
actual murderer, had left the coffee
shop about an hour before, and frol
! that day to this we have never see
nor heard any thing of him.
Ineed scarcely say that the prisone
who was innYent rs l, was set at Iii
,, erty the next morning.
