Amusing Scene in an Omnibns.

A GENTLEMAN who is not celebrated for
his benevolence, although he is very
wealthy, the other evening go into Fifth
avenue omnibus to 60 up town. As the
stage was full and he near the door he
reached forward, and touching a man on
the shoulder asked him to pass one-dol-
lar bill up to the liver for his fare, re-
marking, I'm sorry to trouble you, but I
have no change" The person to whom
this request was made smiled, bowed. and,
taking q small book from his pocket,
wrote something in it and put the dollar
bill in his pocket. All the passengers
smiled audibly, and the gentleman de-
manded his money with one or two ex-
pressions such as STOOL" swindler,"
ETC. The person alluded to smiled and
bowed again, but did not give up the
dollar. The passengers laughed louders
The gentleman grew furious, and pulled
the strap, shouting, "Driver, driver!
call policeman" Suddenly the man
with the notebook, his face glowing with
pleasure, handed the gentleman slip of
paper, on which was written, II am deaf
and dumb. I thank you for your gener-
osity." The joke was too much for old
stacy. He laughed with the rest, and,
tellinethe driver to 60 ahead, passed up
second dollar, with his own hand, to
the driver to be changed, the deaf and
dumb man seeming to be as much amused
as the other passengers.-Neao York Let

The TichbOrne Case.

The cable dispatches bring the crafty.
ing intelligence that the tedious Itch
borne case has come to a close, and that
the bogus Claimant, Arthur Orion, has
been sentenced to fourteen years. penal
servitude for perjury and forgery, which
secures the world long rest and proba-
bly, settles the case forever. At the expira-
ton of his term of imprisonment the
Claimant, if he survives, will probably
decide to make his living in some other
manner than by ste aling an estate.
The circumstances surrounding the two
trials have been romantic in the highest
degree, and the pertinacity with which
for nearly four years this Arthur Orion,
the butcher, has maintained his identity
as the son of Lady Tichborne, and the
sympathy he has aroused in England,
constitute his case one of the most re-
markable In the whole history of impos-
lures. The legal features of it have been
no less remarkable, and entitle it to be
known as cause celebre in the annals of
the courts. The first suit which was
brought, and which involved the validity of
his claim, lasted nearly year, and resulted
in disagreement of the Jury but left the
impression in the minds oftwo-thirds of the
people of England that the Claimant was
in reality Roger Tichborne. This sympa-
thy arose almost entirely from the fact
that he had been recognized by Lady
Tichborne, who is q very old lady, and
some of the servants, who had been Gen.
nected with the family over half q Gen.
fury, as the long lost son and heir-a fact
which is not remarkable, considering that
the genuine Roger Tichborne had been
absent nearly quarter of century and
that Orion bore strong resemblance to
the Tichborne family, being, in all proba
bility, an illegitimate son of Sir Roger
Tichborne. He came from the same
neighborhood and was familiar with the
history and events of the family, and this
enabled him to carry out the imposition
with the greater ease. The majority of
the people of England, therefore, sympa-
thized with him, looked upon the efforts
of the prosecution a. the persecution of
an innocent man and the rightful heir to
the estate, and their sympathy took
material form. They subscribed literally
to aid him to carry on his first suit and to
defend himself In the second. They hur-
rahed for him and Toasted him. He made
q triumphant tour Of England, and every.
where the multitude thronged to re him
and console him. They bought Tichborne
bonds which were redeemable when the

rigbtful place, the bonds are only worth

At the conclusion of the first trial the
Jury disagreed, and Arthur Orion was
then brought to trial for perjury and for
gerry, growing out of his testimony in the
nrst trial, and his conspiracy with others
In the manufacture of documents. 1t is
not at all improbable that he would have
oeen acquitted had 1t not been for an un-
foreseen circumstance. When the wit
ness Jean Luie was placed upon tho
stand, he swore to an array of facts which
seemed absolutely conclusive In Orton's
favor. The prosecution, assisted by some
of the ablest barristers in England, spent
several days in trying to controvert his
statements. Although he was subjected
to terribly severe cross-examlnation, he
never crossed his tracks, but in reality
strengthened his direct examination.
The case seemed hopeless, and might
have been lost had it not been for the
vanity of Jean Luie. He was the hero of
the day, and in an unlucky moment al
lowed himself to be photographed. His
picture was speedily in almost every
shop-window in London, and he was
soon recognized as ticket-of.leave
man, who. during all the time that
he claimed he was with Orion, was in
reality in the Penitentiary at Bristol. He
in turn was arrested for perjury, and
then he made voluntary confession that
the whole story which he had told on the
witness-stand was manufactured for him
by one of Orton's counsel, and that he
committed it to memory and swore to its
truth in court for q consideration. This
was the death-blow to the case, and not
only decided it so far as the court was
concerned, but turned the tide of popular
feeling against Orion.
The final disposition of the case is a
relief, and the punishment which has
overtaken the impostor isnone too severe
for his offense. It will nevertheless al
ways remain mystery, stranger than the
mysteries of any fiction, how this man,
who was at best an illiterate, ignorant
butcher, was able to put together q story
with such consummate skill as to battle
the ingenuity and learning of the ablest
lawyers in England for nearly four years,
and to delude two-thirds of the people OF
that country into the belief that his story
was true, and that he was a prosecuted
martyr.-Chicago Tribune.
