generally, to all appearances, very happy,
and was certainly very excited.
The little boys even knew all about what
was to happen, and told among themselves
of the grand parade Of the tiremen that was
to take place.
In due time the Seventh District settled
down to await coming events, and in due
time the boys, in their handsome uniforms,
came up to the point of forming, and, after

The Off fearincersg that he might go the
ship during the night and take the trunk
away, Officer Pierson remained on board all
night. At 9 o'clock in the morning the ill.,
spector came on board and Rodrigues not
having as yet made his appearance, he did
not search his trunk, but took it to the ap-
praisers office at the CustOmhouse, Officer
Pierson being promised by Mr.. Aver, the day
inspector, that he should be informed of
Rodrigucs' movements.
But Pierson still remained on board of the

The case was postponed until 6 O'clock in
the evening.
In the meantime, the officers knowing
that no extradition treaty existed between
Spain and the United States, and that they
could not hold the prisoner, they had an in
terview with Don Carlos Pie, the Spanish
Consul at this port
The Consul assured Rodrigues that if he
would return the money he had in his pos
session, he should not be prosecuted any
farther. This Rodrigues did, at the same
time acknowledging that it belonged to
the Spanish Government. At 6 o'clock
he was taken to the Fifth Dis trict Court

which had been issued in the morning. At
ter the money had been turned over to the

the money by hook or crook, has filed an
affidavit against these officers, who in every
sense of the word have done their duty in a
most creditable manner.

REACHING HEAVEN BY T1.EGRAPH.-The
Western Methodist says that Chaplain Sun
derland, Of Washington City, is a sort Of
heavenly wire-prller. He exccis that North
Pole prayer builder, his predecessor, Chap
lain Newman. 1t seems that, somewhere in
the funeral services of Senator Sumner,
Chaplain Sunderland ventnred to ask bless
ings upon the officers Of the government
and then, on the way toward Boston to the
burial, it occurred to the distinguished petit
toner to the Throne of Grace that he had
forgotten the Vice President. No doubt the
Lord would have overlooked any little .omis-
sion like that, but Sunderland's prayer was
directed to the newspapers az well as to
heaven; indeed, possibly, rather more to-
ward the press than the Throne. And rumi-
mating upon the look Of the thing in pint,
rather than expecting All answer from The
skies, Chaplain Sunderland telegraphed
horizontally to Washington City to the
printers to type in the Vice President.
