here it is well sometimes to venture, either
to see what human beings are, or wnat
they may become.
We are sometimes asked Of the degree OF
intellectual culture. noticeable in Washing

We answer that the thinkers of the world
have not ordinarily been considered
"society people," that there are men and
women of the highest culture. and the h.
largest experience there, but not enough OF
them to give to any portion OF its vide
spread distances either the air Of Cam

will admit; and something Ia fenefon IN

Mollie HolbrOok, the smartest of thieves. is
playing bod game, just now, and one of
her sharpest ones. About two months ago
she stole S5l 900 10 Chicago and got off to
New York. Detective Miller of Chicago
sought her out in that city and started her
westward, but having bought the wrong
ticket at Albany, they got on the Great
Western Railway instead of the Lake Shore,
and in Canada Mollie jumped out of the
cars and claimed protection of an officer
against vile aDductor. She got the pro-
lection and took the back track, and then
to Black Rock. and there. just when they
were stepping upon a ferry-boat to lay
hands upon her. two friends of hers. noted
cracksmen. who were conveniently by, per-
suaded the officers with pistols that they
had best stay where they were. And so the
woman got away that time. Miller. poor
fellow, when he got home, was decapitated
for incompetency; which nettled him 90 that,
being still armed with the reputation for
Mollie, he determined to fetch her anyhow.
He traced her very carefully to New York
