extravagant exclamation OF NJ de Tocqueviile :
"If were to give Scripturai genealogy of our
modern popular writers, 1 should say that Rousseau
lived twenty years, and then begat Bernardin dc ST.
Pierre; that Bernardn de st. Pierre lived twenty
years and thea begat Chateaubrand that Chateau

TIE 81 FE BURGLARY
DISAPPEARANCE OF AN IMPORTANT

OF AN IMPORTANT
PIECE OF EVIDENCE.
The New York Tribune Of yesterday had the
following dispatch from this city:
Another strange thing has happened In con-
nection with the safe burglary in this city.
When the subject was under investigation by
the District special committee, Hayes, one Of
the hired burglars, testified that be was sent
here by Chief Whitley Of Che secret service to
communicate with q man whose name he men
toned. Hayes came on here from New York,
and, failing to find the man, be autographed 70
Whitley in New York, asking what was TO be
done. The dispatch was received at Whitley's
Office and receipted for nWhitley' hand riting
or in hand precisely similar. The telegraph
book mas hronHht "a Washinet6h and Exam
ined by the committee, and several experts
swore that the signature was Whitley's. At
all events, the book was regarded By the CON-
mittee as q very valuable piece Of evidence.
The book has mysteriously disappeared and no
elew can be obtained Of It. The telegraph
manager has written to all the members Of the
committee, to the clerk and the stenographer,
but vainly. Evidently the book has been stolen.
The following are the letters from the most
prominent psUbeTs Of ths COMMITTEES. The
look Is wanted BY the grand jury.

Words fail IA to do justice to the playing OF
George Radcliffe, be having mufIed only seven
teen balls in the centre field, while a. pitcher,
. position he filed for five innings, be won the
loudest plaudits of the audience. As base
runner be was only excelled by ALI. Mcdowell
and Manager Rogers. As Cooper Is q profes-
sional, no credit ls due him for his playing. On
the Creighton side Guy c. claims 10 have
muffed the most balls, but 5aford thinks not.
