MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
Is 1t a Suicide !!

Last Sunday morning. Mr.. VIM. Schlicht-
ing, upholsterer and paper hanger, residing
at the corner of Baronne and Lafayette
streets. left his residence telling his vile that
he was only going for short walk and would
return in few moments.
Hour after hour passed and the gentleman
failed to return. His wife becoming uneasy,
sent out to all of the places at which he was
accustomed to frequent, but her messengers
returned with the sad news that he could not
be found.
Filled with anxiety the unhappy woman
went herself in search of her husband, but
met with the same Disappointment The
search was kept up for three days, but with
out success, until last evening, when she re-
paired to the Central Station and related the
sad story Of her husbands disappearance.
The matter has been placed in the hands
of the detectives, who will ct once begin to
follow up the case. The morning Of Mr..
SchlichtiDg's disappearance he had on suit
of dark clothing and black hat. He is man
of about forty-four years Of age, Eve feet six
inches in height, dark hair and eyes, and has
broad, German accent
His habits have always been sober and
moderate. aud though II is feared hehas COM
mitted suicide no cause can be attributed by
his family for such rash act. IS

AN OLD CASE.

In . short cruise through our streets, last
night, the reporter stumbled across one of our
detective force, evidently on the clay" for
somebody. The night being warm and .
remarkable quiet reigning, short desultory
conversation regarding matters about town
ensued, when the detective. suddenly breaking
of sentence, pointed over to tall, red
whiskered man leaning against lamp-post,
and said:
Do you see that fellow over there? Well,
he's q case worthy Of your notice. He's been
in this city now for about twelve years, and
once only, when he kept little SODA water
stand, he worked for q living. Since that
time he has lounged about doing nothing,
and yet he always appears to have had his
three meals day. How he gets along is .
mystery to us, but, from the many tales afioat.
he is one of the vilest men in town, and has
served more than any other one person to de-
prave young men.
A number of firemen some three years since
took the fellow and gave him q gratuitous
bath in horse trough for his indecent action,
and since that time he has been keeping
rather shy. but the other night he commenced
his old tricks and was handsomely orna-
mented with pair of black eyes by young
man whom this chap interviewed one even
ing. He goes by the name of Sheppard. and
is known by almost everybody about town.
Now, you mustn't put in the paper what /
have been telling you, but you keep Q look
out and that fellow will give you big item
one of these days. He ought to be locked
up, but no one ever makes charge against
him

CHEAP ADVERTISING.

He was very mild hammered man and
performed astonishingly well upon an enor-
nous quid of tobacco, which he rolled abou
in his mouth in way which must have been
gratifying to adopts in that art. He bore in
his hand modest volume, about the size Of
. quarto dictionary, which he said contained
the names Of those persons benefited by his
new life Elixir" With . modesty per-
fectly charming he offered to leave : bottle.
if we would indulge, and all he wanted in re-
turn WAS . two column editorial
A close calculation by . druggist put down
the cost Of the ingredients a fifteen cents,
and yet this child Of nature wanted about fifty
dollars Of advertising for the bottle. One
could hardly help admiring the supreme inn
pudence Of the man, and long established
rule could not be broken, and our Bogardus
patent kicker was loosened. The remnants Of
the bottle decorated the sidewalk.

Of toll swept from them utterly. A full re-
cord Of the losses sustained, the hopes
crushed, the homes rendered desolate, during
'the last ten years in the South, or in Louisi-
ana alone would draw from the very angels
tears Of sympathy. Just now, however, from
the depths Il our great darkness We discern
the gglimmer-the first faint streaks Of ap-
preaching dawn. Even the hope of better
days Is glorious, and our people should

burdens. Each should make the others
road to prosperity as easy as possible, and by
His mutual kindness and justice common
good would result to all, and reasonable
anticipations Of bright future would be not
only the solace, but the salvation Of many
who are now almost dependent from their
many losses.
One practical way Of aiding each other is BY
not forcing the collection Of debts which win

wealthier citizens hold mortgages upon some
Of the best property in the city, which is sure
to rise in value as hemonths pass. and which
II sold now would involve the owner in utter
and irretrievable ruin.
If the owners Of this property can succeed
in paying the taxes, the insurance and the
cost Of necessary repairs, besides meeting the
interest due a bn the principal. the mortgagors
should, We submit, extend the friendly hand,
and at least wait until the times will give rea.

the unfortunate creditor under the Sherif's
hammer or into the bankrupt court.
We do not say that . creditor should allow
himself to be- pressed, troubled and hampered
In his business by extending the time of his
debtors. but We do say that If there is any
way BY which he can allow the collection OF
the debt to await . more suspicious season
without serious prejudice to his own interests
he should do it.
Let our capitalists consider we'll this rea-

A Respectable Lady is Caught in
The Act Of Shop Lifting.

Several months ago lady Of handsome per-
sonal appearance. and dressed in an elegant
manner, visited the dry goods establishment
Of NJ. L. Byrne & Co., 1853 Canal street Mr..
Byrne, from her peculiar actions, deemed it
prudent to keep strict watch upon her il
she again returned.
Subsequently, and about two months since,
she visited the store. Mr.. Byrne, as soon %
he saw her enter, went upstairs on the second
story and placed himself at the hatchway, in
position from where he could easily observe
her maneuvers. She asked the clerk to show
her some article, and as he turned to get it,
she quickly picked up handful Of handker-
chiefs, some dozen or two in number, which
were lying on the counter, and slipped them
under her dress.
Mr.. Byrne allowed her to leave the store
unmolested for that time on account OF her
respectable connections in the city, but de-
have her arrested. Tuesday morning, about
10 o'clock, while the clerks were all busily
engaged waiting on customers, the same lady
went into the store.
As soon as Mr.. Byrne saw her, he recog-
nized that it was the woman he had been
watching on previous occasions. He kept .
sharp eye upon her, and in few moments
observed the quick manipulations Of her
fingers, as If she was working to get some
thing off the counter. Mr.. Byrne went up to
her and asked if she would have the articles
she had purchased sent to her residence, and
requested her name. She refused to give it,,
and attempted to leave the store in q hurry.
Mr.. Byrne stopped her and said, madame,
you cannot leave the store; wish to see you
up stairs" She returned. and on her way to
the back of the store threw her handkerchief,
in which she, had wrapped some kid gloves
and other small articles, under the counter.
When up stairs, Mr.. Byrne accused her Of
having committed the theft.
She acknowledged it and began to cry, beg.
cling that she would be let of. Mr.. Byrne,
thinking that this kind of business had be-
come tiresome, sent for detectiye and had
the woman arrested. She was taken to the
Central Station, where she gave her name "a
Mrs. Mary Harrison.
She was then conducted to the Second Mu-
nicipal Court, and was released by Judge Staea
for her appearance, under bonds.
A reporter of the BULLEux investigated the
matter, and learned that Mrs. Harrison b veil
connected and is herself very wealthy: that on
many previous occasions her husband and
relatives have paid large amounts for goods
stolen by her, in order to hush the matter up.

Salt in Oceans and Lakes.

The estimate is probably not far wide OF
the mark. that the amount Of saltin the ocean,
If spread over the dry land, would form
stratum several feet thick over the whole sur
face. The origin of this element has always
been puzzle to minds not scientifically in
that the original source Of the salt Of the
ocean, and Of all the salt lakes, was in the
chlorides Of the volcanic minerals and rocks
of the earth's crust The action of the de-
scending rain is to decompose these rocks,
and to dissolve and float away into the recep-
tacle of the sea the soluble salts which they
contain. The geological revolutions shifting
at successive times the waters Of the ocean
from their bed, have laid dry . portion of
the sediments, leaving behind part of the
sea water to be evaporated, thus impregnat-
ing the strata with its saline ingredients. Thus
it is that all the marine deposits, however far
removed at present from any ocean, contain
an appreciable quantity of sea salt-& Louis
Republican.
Well, nov what's the use Of giving us all
this nonsense about what causes salt to exist
in the ocean? Don't weall remember reading,
even when children, about the salt mill which
was taken on board ship to load it with the
precious stuff, and when its owners found
they had enough they attempted to stop their
mill, and oouldn' tdo it? Doesn't the same book
tells rs that the boat and mill sunk to the
bottom Of the ocean, and Is no ono could
reach Il it can never be stopped? So you see
it must still be grinding ont it, inexhaustible
supply, making the watsr very salty and keep
ing up the amount Of material, . = 70 pro

FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON. June "A deputation from the
anti Slavery Society, comprising Sir T.
Basley. T. Taylor. Oorbett, Pease, Kinnaird
and Evelyn Ashley. all members Of Parlia-
ment, yesterday evening presented . memorial
to Lord Derby, urging on the Government
the duty Of taking decisive steps BY way Of
friendly mediation to bring about An equitable
termination Of the war in Cuba and the aboli-
ton Of the Stare trade.
Mr.. Ashley mid as the United States had
relinquished the idea Of annexing Cuba, its
good Offices might be relied on 70 support
this movement Others Of the delegation
called attention to the atrocities in the Coolie
trafio.
Lord Derby replied that the government
had no right to interfere in the Coolie ques-
ton An assertion made by the memorislista
that the Cuban war Was fast eliminating in
favor Of the Insurgents was at least prema-
ture.
He did not think Spain would view any
proposal Of mediation favorsbly. She would
doubtless answer: "We must firbt finish the
Carlists then We shall have all our forces
disposable for finishing the war in Cuba
At the same time, continued Lord Derby,
the British Government would be very glad
to avail itself of any prospect that was offered
for putting an end to the existing state Of
things in Cuba.
The emancipation Of slaves would no doubt
sooner or later be accomplished. Slave own
ers are aware Of this, and are only fighting
for continuance Of the present system.
He believed that emancipation could be
accomplished by itself, but must form
part Of complete scheme for the pacifcation
Of the Island. The present time, therefore.
was not favorable for English interference.
He believed the United States had
no desire to annex Cuba, but 81
the same time the American Gov.
eminent and people would receive
any attempt Of England to interfere be-
tween Spain and Cuba with considerable sus.
picion, and be apt to put . wrong construc.
tion upon it.
