He Did.

The following story is told about a
Dunkirk man On St. Valentines day
he bought ten of the ugliest valentines he
could find, each one caricaturing some well
known fault or foible Of his wife, and sent
them to her. While the poor woman was
crying over them and wondering if there
really We're ten people in the community
who thought so meanly of her, the boy Of
the family said: "Pa, are those the
pictures you bought at the store where
you got my whistle ?"

next morning he purchased suitable ap-
parel and returned to the house, where a
little justifable deception was used, and he
was welcomed as if he had not been pre-
vious visitor. The young man is appar-
emily sincere in his determination to re-
form, and is occupying desk in his fathers
establishment, where he already demon
strates the possession of admirable business
qualifications and bids fair to become a
useful member of society.
This story may SAVIOR somewhat of the
improbable, but it was related to the wri-
ter by gentleman of unimpeachable vera
city, who enjoys intimate and confidential
relations with the parties, and who vouches
for the entire truthfulness, while at the
same time he withholds the names and
other facts which might afford clue to

little drama which so narrowly escaped be.

the resolution authorizing Mr.. Fitch to ac-

the duty upon the diamonds had not General
Sherman sensibly said that he did not want
any fuss. Neither the bridegroom not the
father, however, can afford to pay the duty,
and, as the bride would have to leave the
diamonds on deposit somewhere anyhow, it
is decided to leave them in the custom
house for the present, Their value, by the
way, is not half a million, as supposed, but
only about seventy thousand dollars, and
the duty on them is SIT 800

In the polygamy case ON trial at Beaver,
Utah, Judge Borenan charges that poly
gamy committed prior to 1862 is punish
able now; that bigamy is a continuous crime,
and that the statute of limitation do not
apply. This is directly opposite to the
charge of Judge Emerson.

An analysis Of the population of New
York, made by leading journal of that
city, reveals some curious facts as to the
origin of the inhabitants and the national
characteristics of those whose votes actually
control the chief American metropolis. 4
ccording to the last census, which Is now
agreed to have been quite accurate, the total
population of New York was 942, ,292. Of
these the proportion born in this country was
55.52 per cent, leaving 44.49 per cent.
who were born abroad But of those who
were born here fully three-ffths were the
children of foreign parents, who had come
from other countries and settled in the city;
while only II per cent. of the whole pOpul-
ton was derived from native-born parents.
Taking the residents of the city by thou
sands it appears that out Of every 1000
people there are only 40 real natives Of
the country, while 213 are Irish born, 160
German, II of other foreign nativity, and
386 children of foreign-born parents. This
is widely different from the ratio existing
in the United States at large, where the
foreign-born clement amounts to onl y one
seventh Of the entire population. This
statement explains the ease with which
Tweed aud the Tammany Ring have beer
able to rule and rob the city Of New York
The native citizens are so weak in politica
power that they could be safely ignored and
snubbed, while the foreign vote as body
could be easily controlled by making pet:
and allies of the Irish and German leaders
The foreign vote, as the emigrants are
mainly adults, is relatively larger than thC
native vote in the same number of people
and the naturailzed citizens are much moro
active and punctual in casting their ballots
Thousands of the native citizens of New
York never vote at all, feeling that thei
influence at the polls will count for nothing
against the overwhelming numbers derived
from those foreign origin. 1t is an anomal.
that the financial and commercial heart o
the American republic should be under th
absolute control of an alien element ant
the political cunning that has enabled tn
Democratic party to engross the Who'll
strength of this vast body of foreign voters
year after year, is equally astonishing.

PARIS. Jan.-1S75.

ARIS, odu-1CIDs
DEAR SIR: I write to warm you that
the son of our principal cashier has disap-
peared with some 100000 francs in bills
drawn upon you by US. He will prbably
present them in Havre shortly after the
receipt of this by you. OF course you will
refuse payment As his father is very
old and valuable servant, VIC have conclud-
ed not to cause him the disgrace and morti-
cation of Knowing that his son is felon.
You will therefore allow the scoundrel to
go free IF you can manage to set rid OF
him by sending him to America, advance
him two or three hundred louis, and let
him 60 and hang himself Confidential
! ly.
The day after the receipts of this letter
the Havre house, young man of fine ad-
dress presented himself and attempted to
negotiate the stolen bills The letter was
shown him, and he fell on his knees in a
flood of repentant tears. He expressed a
willingness to go to America, and 25O louis
| (s1 ,25O) were giYin him with many eau
tions to reform.
The young man sailed for New York the
next day, and the day after the Havre
house received an answer to It's letter OF
advice detailing the facts. No bills had
been stolen from the Paris house, the let
ter originally sent was forgery, and the
principal cashier has no son. The police
of New York were notified to look for this
remarkable swindler, but no light has been
thrown on lis movements il tbs country.
