Now here I might descend from these
very lofty heights of aesthetic disquisi-
ton and lore, with which my friend had
instructed me, and tell plainly, exactly
what happened. am not going to do
anything of the kind. If the reader
wishes to enjoy an account of a robbery,
of "garroting with violencein London, |"
he has only to "take in" copies OF Rey-
nolds' Sunday Newspaper, and he will
be able to satisfy his yearnings. 1 was
garroted; but since the sensation was
quite enough fer myself, and / have no
wish to live it over again, the reader
will be so kind as to supply his imagin-
alton with whatever particulars he
pleases. I lost my bank notes. never
recovered them. Bullet that fact suffice
as to detail. 1 hate garroting, both the
reading of it and the suffering it myself
and ] shall not allude farther TO the sub
ject.
Soon as recovered 1 passed through
Deans yard and made for the cloisters.
I hailed n policeman and informed him
of my wrongs. He stationed himself
just outside the gate, and we two waited
future results.
We stood perhaps five minutes; no
body passed. But just as L was de
spairing of any success gentleman
aged perhaps thirty, with very blacl
hair and black whiskers, and q iaunty
and juvenile mein, came out of theyard
through the archway. He was not my
friend. AIy friend was sixty, was white,
was aged; this man was eIuberant with
youth.
scarcely bestowed even ono glance
on this gentleman; but my surprise was
intense onseeing the policeman instantly
collar and handcuff him. He was the
man. BY singular coincidence he had
been watched the night before round
the cloisters of Westminster Abbey. He
was "known to the police" He ha6
, been tracked more than once in these
, lairs by detective dressed in plair
clothes He was frequenter of inter
{ esting places, in toilets more or les

nified character, with leaning TOWARD
: venerable age. Pity that society mis-
understood himl With such versatility
of talent he might have risen very hgl
, in some of the branches of 'legitimat,
felony"
Briefly, my friend was a frst-clas'
! thief; he had graduated in the klepto
maniac college. Not precisely at Ok
. ford nor accurately at Dublin, he hat
nevertheless taken his degree. M. A
he was, though the ga" might be equiv

that struck me in this man was the or

was about to insist ON departure
when there passed us, very hastily in
deed, stranger, dressed in black.
What struck me about him was the sin
gular fact that could sec him butcould
not hear any sound. He must have
worn fantastically-thin boots; or perhaps
he wore slippers-which would be lit
tie unusual ON a cold afternoon in De
cember. Anyway, he was totally maud
ible, and, gliding like vision, he
passed under an archway in the direc-
ton of Little Deans yard.
"Did you sec that mani" / asked my
friend.
He looked not little disturbed; then
he said, hurriedly, and with obvious eff
fort:
"No-what man. 1 was thinking at
the instant of this interesting passage,
which led to Little Deans yard 1t was
one of the Oldest bits of the Abbey. It
has of course been spoiled by modernism
-whitewashed, like the cathedral piety;
but you cannot efface the real Do you
know, believe if you can detach the
beauties of London from the mass Of
modernism and money and place them
in one spot by themselves you would
make q resort compared to which Rome
would be a dustbin and Athens Rams
gate and Margate."
1 Thought this absurd, but did not say
so. My friend was obviously mad. But
then his white bsir-his very white hair
seemed to give him excuse for being ex-
cepuOnal; Hnce age has the night to be
dogmatic with youth, and was but n
youth in his presence.
We were now in the passage which
my friend had panegrized as one Of the
most ancient of the Abbey. Ancient or
not, it was certainly dark, and could
scarcely see where was going. Hardly
conscious of what / was doing, or why /
should feel very anxious, I looked over
my shoulder behind me. perceived
in the darkness that same strange figure
which had passed us three minutes be-
fore. Nota sound-not mufled one;
the human being alone-its form-its
very dark form.

Court GuttInas.

| A Writ OF error was refused by Judge
Murdoch in the case of Elizabeth Snyder
against the State Of Ohio, in which the
applicant was convicted in the Police
Court OF harboring lewd women, and
sentenced. a.
| A A.question arose in the case of the
American Life Insurance Company
against Elstner and others on the, cross
petition of John Dubois, seeking TO fore
close a mortgage given by Elstner and
wife to him as trustee of an interest in
certain mill property on the corner of
| Ninth and Broadway. In the Common
| Pleas Court on Saturday, Judge Mur-
dock decided the matter, and found that
the mortgage was delivered TO Mrs. Elst-
ners agent, and that the creditors did
accept under the mortgage and bound
| themselves BY its terms. Dubois was
therefore entitled to foreclosure. Judg-
! ment accordingly.
Maria Suncu,,a widow, brought an ac-
| ton on Saturday against The Inter
stuetzung Verein OF Cincinnati, TO re-
cover benefits from the defendant Asso-
citation, of which she claimed her hus-
band was member in good standing at
the time Of his death.
The Court found that the plaintiffs 8

such by false representations and against
the constitution of the society, and ac-
cordingly rendered judgment for the de-
! PENDANTS.
Timothy L. Fitch instituted a suit on

his sons. asking judgment for $1,000 on

An average dry-goods clerk would con-
slider himself very shabby indeed II he
didn't go behind. the counter in q better
suit than Mr.. OConor carries down
Broadway ia one of his daily walks to
his Office. The meet Objectionable thing
about the eminent advocates raiment is
his hat. 1t is probably the worst hat
exhibited on good head on broadway.
There is tradition among the lawyers
that Mr.. VConor's hat was presented
to him the day OF bis admission to the
bar, and that he has been wearing IL and
sitting on it alternately ever since. The
story 10 rather tough, but the hat does
seem to hear it out. .Summer and wins

ing will induce the owner to change IL. He
is as Indifferent to public opinion on q
subject of this sort as was Horace Gree
ley, whose outfit generally grew worse
the more he was told to make 1t better.
He is a great walker, without making
any time about it, and steps along
Broadway more actively than many OF
the young men. doubt II there Is
another especially prominent man in
New York as rarely seen in society and
public assemblages as Mr.. OConor. He
has singular .antipathy to what Is
called popularity, and tries to avoid all
ways leading to it. Yet when he does
thaw out he is very pleasant COM
panion, with social qualities thai are
not by any means to be despised. He is
| also very generous with his money, and
his given more in charity than some OF
our very rich men whose beneyolence is
duly advertised in the newspapers.

THE Smithsonian Institute has recent
.iy sent the renowned scientist, Mr.. Paul
Schumacher, on a four-months' trip to
the islands off the south coast of Cali
fornia, to make some archaeological re-
searches which it is supposed are likely
to prove of considerable interest. Upon
these islands have been found some ex.
ceedingly interesting and instructive
relics OF prehistoric race, and II is be-
lieved that with the proper scientific
labor some important facts as to the
former inhabitants of this coun-
try may be developed. Mr.. Schu-
macher Left San Francisco with
four men and with an outfit furn-
ished by the Government some weeks
since, and is prepared for four or six
months trip. The articles already found
consist Of stone implements, bone and
shell ornaments, soaD-stone bowls, ETC.,
but it IL believed by many that thor
aough study Of the subject will bring 10
tight some further implements and in
sscriptions and will prove of as great
benefit TO American archaeology as have
those of Di Cesnoia in Cyprus and
schliemann in Troy 10 that of the Old
World. One object Of the expedition
win be TO furnish material fer.the dis.
play OF the Smithsonian Institute and the
Indian Bureau at the Centennial.
