The RomANoE or A RESTAURANT.

A Chicago correspondent of the
Troy Times says: ga bit of romance
recently came to my notice which
has not before appeared in print.
Some time i'll December last o girl
about seventeen years of age, who at
that time was serving as table-waite-
ip a large dining restaurant, was arr
rested for stealing a package of mon
ey from the pocket Of q gentleman's S
overcoat which was hanging in the
room while he was eating his dinner.
At the preliminary examination u
party swore to having seen her take
the coat down and hang it up quickly
again; that she soon left the room
for short time; and, as the money
was not to be found. she was held
for trial. In vain she protested that
she merely moved the coat to avoid
its getting soiled; in vain with tear
full eyes she offered to be searched.
The circumstances were suspicious,
and the officers inexorable. In the
meantime the gentleman who had
lost the money became Interested in
her history, found she was an
orphan. girl, and, though com
paratively friendless, bearing an
excellent character. Further than
this, he ascertained she was of Ehg-
lish parentage, that her name was
the same as his own, and, to make
the story short, from evidence which
he could not disbelieve, that she was
the daughter OF his own brother,
whom he supposed to have died
childless in Australia several years
ago. OF course he declined prose
cutting her, and, Us he is wealthy and
without near kin, he ut once arrang-
cd to take her home with him, on
his return from the West, whittier he
was then en- route. The other day
he, with his newly-adopted child 80
strangely brought to him, started for
New York, whence they will soon
sail for England" "

A FAMOUS SHIp.-The clipper ship
Three Brothers arrived in New York
from Hayre on Saturday. Sho was
formerly the steamship Vanderbilt,
and was sold by tho United States
Government to George Howes & CO.,
in 1872. Under the direction of the,
Messrs. Howes she was altered into
a clipper ship, and has since then
been used in the California trade.
She is $40 feet long, and has three
full decks and beams for lower
fourth deck. Her registered tonn-
age is 1912 17-100 tons. Her spars
are probably the tall6st in the world,
and are made of California pine.
The captains Office and cabin are
finished with California laurel. When
full speed she will carry Is, 900 yards
Of canvas. She sailed from San
Francisco on the oath Of October,
1878, with cargo Of 4,300 tons Of
grain-the largest cargo ever carried
by any vessel. She made the trip to
Havre in 40 days. Capt. George
Cummings, tho experienced nayiga-
tor, who commanded the Young
America when she made the best time
on record from New York to Liver
pool, commands the Three Brothers,
He says that she has made seventeen
knots an hour, and thinks that with
fair wind she could sail much
faster. She will sail for San Fran
cisco in about thirty days.

FRoM THE SHADOW or THE GUuLo-
TINE.--One Of the most remarkable
escapes evor made was made by M,
de Chateaubun during the reign Of
terror in Paris. He was sent to exc
cution with twenty other prisoners;
but after the fifteenth head had fall
on, tho guillotine got out Of order,
and workman was sent to repair it.
The six remaining victims were left
standing in front Of the machine
With their hands tied behind them.
A French crowd is very curious, and
the people kept pressing forward to
see the man arranging the guillotine.
BY degrees NJ dc Chateaubrun, who
was to tho rear Of his companions,
found himself in the front line of the
spectators, then in the second, and
finally well behind those who had
come to SEQ his bead cut off, Before
the man could get the guillotine in
working order, night began to iall
and nj. de Chateaubrun slipped
away. When in the Champs Elysees
he told q man that d wag Ind tied
his hands and robbed him Of his hat
and this simple individual cut him
free. A few days later M. de Chat
eaubrln escaped from France

Six months afterward Joe found

A CONTEST ron A BRIDE.

On Tuesday last Charles H. Walk
or of Hartford persuaded Lima Hodei
of Greenpoint to olope with him
There had been q courtship which
was dampened only by Lina's par
ents, who were opposed to the match
The pair were married and started
for Connecticut. Mr.. Hodes was
soon on the trail, md he captured
his daughter and brought her back
to Greenpoint. The young bride
groom went to Judge Reynolds il
Brooklyn on Saturday, and having
made the necessary afidayits, OBJ
tanned writ of habeas corpus tc
obtain his wife. In obedience there.
to MIR. and Mrs. Hodes, hanking the
brid6 on either side, marched into
the court room yesterday morning,
The girl is but II years old, is q
pleasant looking brunette, and was
neatly though plainly dressed. As
the case was called, Counsellor Bel
lows said to the Court that the hus-
band had not been permitted to see
his bride since she was taken from
him. He did not doubt that if the
pair were allowed to have q short
interview they would agree to live
together, which, of course, would
make further proceedings unneces-
sary.
The Judge asked the brides par
onts to step in m adjoining room.
Then he took the girl aside and heard
lier story She told him that they
weto legally and lawfully married;
that her father had said that she was
at liberty to do just as she pleased
about living with her husband
"But, Judge" she added, II don't
know what to do. / love my hus-
band, but he is not able to support
me. He is dependent on his mother
for money" Then she burst into
tears.
"Would you like to talk with
MN! asked the Judge.
81 promised my parents that l
would not speak to him." was the re-
ply between her sobs.
"That promise is not binding in d
case like this" said the Judge.
At this point Walker approached.
"Wont you come with ME Lima" he
asked, with tears in his eyes also.
eff / wanted to live with you I
should not wish to be Supported by
your mothers money" was hersfrank
reply, adding after a pause, 81 will
Talk with you q little while though, if
you desire me to. They passed into
the Judges private room which was
occupied by her parents.
Soon the Judge was summoned,
and then the brides parents, II
shall die if you leave me, said her
father, after they had talked o few
moments.
The young bride mused for a short
time and then turning to her hus-
band she said, "Charlie, l love you;
you are my husband, am your wife.
Go back and wait and work, and
show yourself able to support me,
and il you are true to me year l
will then go and live with you"
Walker kissed his bride, with
whom he had lived but four days,
and sadly went from the room. The
spectators were disappointed, for
there was scarcely personin thoroom
who did not wish to see the girl re-
stored to her husband.

NOVEL WAY TO DETECT A FALSE
HOOD.

Multitudinohs are the ways OF rec
ord for detecting thief, but there is
one species Of sinner that often deties S
detection. A light finger may be
crippled, but light tongue is hard to
stop. The blush of conscious guilt
does not always follow tib, and OF
all seli-possessed men, the profession
al prevaricater is the calmest. Tie
tact of successful concealment is often
characteristic of the youngest talsitier
and his precocious depravity is Oft
en- blank study to the keehest moral
ist or physiognomist. 1t has been
left TO the genius of the physician to
discover sure way of detecting at
least a juvenile prevarlcator. The
discoverer of this boy is membef Of
the medical profession in Greene,
Chenango county, and his name is DR..
Williams.
The other evening several mischev-
Gus boys broke into the school house
at that place, built fire in the same,
and were preparing for hilarious
time, when they discovered that the
Board of Education was after them.
Although the school house was sur
rounded before they got wind of the
danger, they managed TO slip out of
the building unobserved. Some of
them had been recognized in the build
ing, however, aud were brought up
before the physician mentioned for ex.
animation. The first 10y put upon
the stand "knew nothing about the
affair."" and asserted his innocence
with all the manifestations Of verac-
lty in his countenance. The doctor
was not satisfied He took hold of
the boy wrist and felt hisp pulse. The
pulsations were unnaturally fast.
Looking into the boys unwavering
eye aud imperturable face, he said,
"Young man, you are lying You
have not uttered one word of truth
about this matterl Your pulse is now
running high as 14O, and no person en-
joying good health, and telling the
truth, would have as rapid pulsations
as thatl" The prolem of centuries
was solved; the boy acknowledged
that be had broken into the school
house. Although the heart sent no
tell-tale blood TO the face, it throbbed
its confession in the tiny pulse; and
science had again triumphed where
human ingenuity had been at fault

prietor of n millinery and lady's fur
nishing store there. She was return
ing home on the previous evening,
and while passing through IN unfre-
quented street was attacked by two
Mexicans, who had been secreted
in the willow hedges on either side
Of the road. The larger of the two
villains annouced himself in good
English as VaAquez, and demanded
the lady's mohey. She started to
run, but was pursued and oyertaken
by the robbers. Selling her, one Of
them with an oath drew u large knife,
and then declared that he would
kill her. She snatched the knife
from his hand and threw it away
whereupon he felled her to the ground
and placing his foot upon her neck,
choked her until she was unconscious.
herobbers then drpgged her through
a willow hedge and into ditch,
where they left her for dead. In
taking her through the hedge a por-
ton Of her dress, holding her purse,
caught upon the willows and was
torn of. This the robbers failed to
find, and the purse was picked up
next morning with its contents UNI
touched. Mrs. Eldridge, after hay
ing partially recovered, having wan
dered around until near midnight,
was met by Mr.. Lendke, who took
her TO his home. The villains had
not been captured.

APoROUs PLASTER.

Porous plasters are advertised to
do many miraculous things in the
healing line. A gentleman living on
Clay street hill, upon the advice Of his
wife, thought to lift a cold which had
settled upon his lungs by ymeans of one
OF these plasters. He had got the
plaster nicely heated when the door
bell rang. Hastily placing it in o
chair, he ran to the door and ushered
ma young gentleman. The visitor
looked spruce in has black coat, white
vest and lavender pants. After
making a profound bow to the ladies',
he took a seat and began to rattle off
small talk upon the weather, the fine
view of the bay from the Clay-street
hill, and the Rochefort being still in
the presence of his hosts sisterin.law,
Ia remarkably beautiful young LADY,
inspired the visitor, and his entertain
ing conversation drove all thoughts
of the porous plaster from the mind
of the gentleman OF the house. After
a few moments, suddenly remember
ing the plaster, the host cast his eyes
about the room, and, falling to find it,
said, ~ wonder where l put that
plaster. certainly left it in this
room.' The ladies arose and looked
In their chairs, and the young gentle
man followed suit. AS he turned
around, a slight litter was heard from
the wife, and the young lady ran,
screaming with laughter, ont of the
room, her sister following. Theyoung
gentlemen has not since been seen
wearing those lavender pants.
