A correspondent writing from Berryville,
Va, to the Baltimore San, on the 18th ult.,
gives an account Of the capture of a boy sup
posed 10 be that Of the long lost Charlie Ross
The boy was found in company with two
men, who stopped over night al the house of
Mr.. Pierce, about a mile east of the village.
Upon their return TO the town, some persons
saw strong resemblance in the child to young
Ross, and presented TO Mr.. P a likeness of the
lost child who at once said il was that OF the
little fellow who, had spent The night with him.
The men were followed and arrested and quiz
ed in regard to the child. In answer 10 one
of the questions, he said he hal previously
taken the child to The parents Of Charlie Ross in
order to convince them that he was not their
child. The people, thinking that to be a sin
gular and, perhaps, false statement LOGGED
them in Jail. Mr. Ross has been sent for so
that recognition Of the boy may be made or
a release Of the men can be effected

On Saturday morning n locomotive was run
ming over the Cumberland and Pennsylvania
Railroad, Just above Westcrnport, when the
engineer, whose name we regret TO be unable
to give, saw just ahead little child lying be-
tween two cross-tes in the middle of the track,
apparently asleep The engineer was horii
fed, but he was only an instant in making up
his mind what to do. 1t was to crowd on all
the steam and dash over the PROSTATE infant
before il could move. He had scarcely time
TO do anything else, hui for this reason alone
his presence of mind was remarkable. He
pulled the throttle wide open; The engine al
most eaped forward, and was over and past
the child in second. Looking back the clear
headed engineer saw the child raise itself up
and look around in wonder 1t had been
asleep, but was awakened by the noise of the
monster passing over its head not moment
too soon - Cumberland Noes H1y 81.

Some Hard Words.

Milliners and dressmakers, says an OK.
change, have sent more husbands and
wives to the divorce courts than all
other human beings combined. They
are the great sewers of domestic unhap-
piness. AS class, they are unworthy
of the least respect, for they seldom at.
tempt to do business on honest princi-
pies. Perhaps none Of their customers
know or care whether, in dealing with
them, they get the full value of their
money or not; an:!, relying upon this
state of things, the bonnet seller and
dressmaker almost invariably become
cheats. They 60 or send over to Paris
and get one or two bonnets as patterns
(Which they contrive tosmuggle through
the ustom-house), and then they get
them initiated at very cheap rate. All
these bonncts they sell to eager custom
ers as the "real, imported article" and
of course no one is content now with
anything of home make. In the matter
of dress, it is much the same. The ma
terial itself, even though it be of the
finest silk to be bought, costs little in
comparison with the bill for trim
mings." That will generally range any
where from $40 to $3.50, and no doubt
many of our fair readers could show us
DlllS lOr MUCH litrSef sums Cnan eltner OF
these. That wonderful /" tie back ;" nr-
rang cment, which is now thought to be
SO becoming to ladies, cannot be the
cause of these enormous charges for
trimming" for people had to pay
them before they began to " tie back. !"
The truth is, that whatever may chance
to be the fashion, the dressmaker soon
makes it the vehicle of extortion-not TO
use the ugly word robbery. We hear of
failures in every trade but hers. She
comes here almost beggar, and after n
few years she drives showy carriage,
says New York paper, and filings the
dust of Fifth avenue in the face of the
people whom she has largely helped to
ruin

Italian Brigandage.

The Court of Assizes at Viterbo, in
Italy, has lately had to deal with case
of brigandage of more than ordinary ce-
lebrity. 1t involved the murder of q
country gentleman, the father of Signor
Faina, well-known deputy, who was
captured by the band lately tried when
driving near Orvieto in the spring of
1874, and carried off to the mountains
Signor Faina received letter soon
afterward informing him that his faith
er's ransom was fixed ut Ca, 900, and that
the money must be delivered at n GER
tain spot by fixed date. It was sent,
but By mistake 30 The WRONG place and
the brigands, having observed party of
gendarmes moving i'll the vicinity,
thought trap was being laid for them,
and ordered the youngest of the band
at once to blow out the brains of their
prisoner, who was a man of seventy
years of age, and could not be forced off
in the hurried retreat they designed.
They gave out publicly that the murder
was. designed as a special example of
their justice ). and this boast, following
such an act, caused SO effective pursuit
to be undertaken by the authorities that
the gang was at last, after many escapes,
fairly hunted down. The actual muir
derer has got off with imprisonment for
life, on the ground of his extreme youth
and his having acted under compulsion.
But the leader, who was formerly in the
Papal gendarmerie, was condemned to
be executed. On hearing his sentence
he sprang over the dock, precipitating
himself like tiger ON the accomplice
who had turned approver. But the po-
lice mastered and manacled him, and it
is now devoutly hoped that he in his
turn will be made an example of the
prompt justice he professed to execute
on his unfortunate captive.

William G. Ralston did not care enough

William G. Ralston did not care enough
about money to keep it after it was made.
What welded him to his work was the
excitement attendant upon making i'm
mense trades and moving millions. AS
for keeping the money he made, that
never entered his mind--he scattered it
broadcast on every side. 1t was rs
though n man should pnmp away for dear
life and all the while have nothing but
bottomlcss vessel to hold his pumpings
yes, as though one should pump away,
with clang and nose, but have never a
valve in his pump. Men do this some
times, for exercise. But exercise is not
work. One must have serious purpose
in view, or even the swinging of dumb
bells avails not And if 1 had not reso-
lutely resolved to refrain from pointing
a moral, would say right here that the
want of worthy purpose is just the
hole in which William G. Ralston and
his bank went under. But prefer that
each reader should apply the great
ethical blister, which 1 have 81 gener-
ously spread for himself. Place it where
it will do the most good, please.
William @. Ralston was not bad man
in reality. True, he did very many
things which are commonly esteemed
bad but 1 do not think that he put
much heart into them. There was little
of earnestness or vim about any of his
dissipations seeing another person do
thing he thought it was the thing to
do, and there must be fun in it. He
Dever wanted to be counted out on any
thing. In a very similar way he did
much good. So did the Bank of Cali
fornia. 1t encouraged many praise,
worthy enterprises, developed valuable
industries, lent its shoulder frequently
to public improvements, where a bank
conducted on prudent principles would
not have lent finger. On one occa
sion it even lent money to me-is there
need to say more? Then again the
Bank of California gave aid to some
schemes most outrageously corrupt. But
nature in her own way turns most rmal-
feasances to good. I do not know, how.
ever, that in such cases credit mark
goes down in the book to the account oi
individual or institution, unless good
was intended. JOHN PAUL.

ChicagO's Grain Elevators.

Chicago is the biggest grain mart in
the world, and handles about 80, ZOO, 900
bushels annually. How this vast amount
is received, stored, and shipped, is the
subject of an interesting article in the
Chicago Times. The first steam elevator
was established in the spring of 1848,
with capacity of 100000 bushels. To
day Chicago has eighteen steam eleva-
tors, with n combined capacity of 49,
$500 bushels, or more than the
product of 1000, 900 acres of the fertile
wheat producing lands of the continent.
Their capacity varies oil the way from
200, 900 bushels to 1,50O,O0O The entire
cost of tho eighteen elevators now in
operation was about $4,000, 900, exclu-
sive of the grounds on which they stand
Add for this 81 100000 and the result
shows $4,000, 900 invested in this indus
try. Two firms handle more than one
half the grain that passes through
Chicago. They control eight of the
eighteen elevators, and last year they
together delivered over sixteen million
bushels of wheat, seventeen million
bushels of corn, four million bushels OF
oats, and over two million bushels of rye
and barley.
