The City AUDITORS Office. OF Toledo,
Robbed OF $4,000.

On Friday last, about half-past one
o'clock p. NJ, n well dressed, intelligent and
respectable looking woman forty-fve or fif-
ty years old, in buggy, halted in front Of
the City Auditors Office and requested a
gentleman to tell Mr.. Klemm, the Audi
tor, to step to the door for moment and
give her information about city bonds.
She was told that Mr.. Klcmm had not re-
turned from his dinner, and she then said
she would like to see Mr.. Holt, the clerk.
Holt walked out, closing, Int not locking
the door behind him. The lady, for such
she appeared to be, widow, fat, fair and
forty" with five children to support, had
money which she wished to invest in bonds
OF the solid, prompt paying city of Toledo.
She engaged Mr.. Holt as long as she could,
watching the Office intently while talking
to him, and when she saw that the clerk
was about to return to the office, with
bland sweet smile, such as a fat widow al
ways puts on when she means mischief, she
asked Mr.. Holt to examine her reins, which
she thought were tangled. The Obliging
elerk-clerks are always obliging 10 Wild
ows-stepped from the sidewalk and made
a careful and thorough inspection Of the
lines, which he reported TO the widow were
in perfect order, and the seductive siren
smiled again, thanked the clerk and drove
off Mr.. Holt returned to the office and
found the box, made OF white paste board,
containing $2,O3l IA, the balance Of the
money due the Police force, stolen. The
thief had undoubtedly entered the office at
the front door, while Mr.. Holt was in
specting the lines for the lady in the bug
gy and escaped through a window in the
rear Jumping six or eight feet TO the ground.
The thief WIS seen on Superior street by
Miss Cunningham endeavoring to conceal
a paper box under his coat. The parties
are both nnder arrest. The woman was ar
| rested in Monroe and identified on her re-
| turn. There is but little doubt Of the con-
| yietion of both the man and the woman,
but whether Mr.. Klemm will get his mon
/ ey back or not remains to be determined.
We sincerely hope he will, for the loss re-
suited from his desire to accommodate
those to whom the money was due. lie is
one Of the most obliging officers we have
ever had and everybody would be sorry TO
have him lose anything by accommodating
the creditors Of the eity.-10Iedo Danoerdt.

Origin OF the Term "BrOther iona.
than,o

The story Of the origin of the above term
as related many years ago to the editor OF
the Norwich Courier by gentleman over
eighty years Of age, who was an active par
ticipntor in the scenes of the Revolution,
is as follows:
"When General Washingto on, after being
appointed Commander Of the Army of the
Revolutionary War, came to Massachusetts,
10 organize it and make preparations tor
the defense of the country, he found great
want of ammunition and other means nee
essary 70 meet the powerful foe he had to
contend with, and great difficulty to obtain
them. If attacked in such condition the
cause at once might be hopeless. On one
occasion, at that anxious period a consult
tation Of the officers and others was held,
when il seemed no way could be devised to
make such preparations as was necessary.
His Exeelency, Jonathan Tnmbull, the
elder, was then Governor of the State Of
Connecticut, on whose judgment and aid
the General placed the greatest reliance
and remarked, we must consult Brother
Jonathan on the subject The General
did 80. and the Governor was successful IN
supplying many of the wants of the Army
When difficulties afterward arose and the
Army was spread over the country, it be-
came by.word I'VE must consult Broth
er Jonathan The term Yankee is still
applied 10 portion, but Brother Jonathan
has now became designation Of the whole
country, az John Bull has Tor England

The late Vice President WILSON in h

The late President WILSON in his
speeches sometimes referred to the events
of his early life, and on one memorable oc-
cnsion he did so most eloquently. In
1858, in reply to the "mudsil" speech of
Governor HAMMOND, of South Carolina, he
said:
Sir, I am the son of hireling manual
laborer, who, with the frosts Of seventy
winters on his brow, "lives Ivy daily labor"
|, too, have "lived by daily labor" l, too
have been a "hlreling manual laborer."
Poverty cast its dark and chilling shadow
over the home of my childhood, and want
was sowetimes there an unbidden guest.
At the age Of ten years-to aid him who
gave me being, in keeping the gaunt spec
tor from the hearth of the mother who bore
mel left the home of my boyhood and
went forth to earn my bread by "daily
labor"

Postmaster-General JEWELL has had
a conference with several publishers, and
informally discussed the question OF the
repeal of the law imposing the double rate
OF postage on third-class mail matter. Al
ter discussion, the Postmaster-Gen said
he supposed all publishers were interested
in having the postage on books put back
at the old rate or less that he would con.
slider the matter, and give his opinion re-
specting it In a communication he was pre-
pairing for Congress. The Postmaster-Gen-
eral said he heard great deal Of talk
about the departments charging more for
sending matter TO Chicago than Il charged
fer sending such matter to Liverpool or
Russia. The expenses OF his department
were thirty-fve million dollars year,
while the receipts were only twenty-seyen
million dollars, and with a deficiency OF
eight million dollars staring them In the
face, he doubted II Congress would look
favorably upon proposition to reduce the
present rates Of postage on magazines and
books.

The destruction of Virginia City by fire
has brought out discussion on the great
value Of trees, planted along the public
streets, as sure protection against disas-
trous confagrations. 1t is argued that they
serve to prevent the passage of burning deb
ris through the air, the emberS being
caught in the upper branches and falling
harmlessly to the ground. 1t is asserted
that destructive fires have been frequently
averted in Sacramento by the belts of trees
that extend along the public thoroughfare,

Hon. JAMES q. BLAINE has written let
ter in which he suggests settling the secta-
rian school question by an amendment to
the Federal Constitution, prohibiting the
control of funds raised by taxation for the
support of schools by any religious sect, or
the division of such funds among sects
And the first recommendation President
GRANT makes in his message for the con-
sideration of Congress, which he earnestly
urges, is this same amendment. For the
welfare and harmony OF all, such an amend
ment should be speedily adopted.
