A Financial Sensation In London.

The London correspondent of the New
York Graphic writes:
Our great sensation of the week has
been the arrest, on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, of the MeSsrs.
Collie, the great merchants who failed last
June. This is something like arresting
Lord q Taylor, or Arnold & Constable,
or A. L. Stewart for swindling. The
Messrs. Collie had for many years carried
on very extensive trade with India
When they failed their liabilities were said
TO be about G3, ,000,000 or SIS 100000; and
about half of this amount was represented
by bills or acceptances which the London
banks had discounted. 1t is now charged
that the formerly great trade of the COllies
had dwindled down 10 very small point,
and that for some time past they had been
only pretending To do business. They
had houses in different places, and the
charge is that these houses drew bills on
each other, pretending that they were for
goods actually sold or bought, and mark
ing them with figure and letters pretend
ing to represent certain bales or cargOes.
These fictitious bills, as is charged, were
then taken to the banks and discounted as
regular trade bills" when in fact they
were not only accommodation paper"
but actually frauds. The Messrs. Collie
were arrested on Tuesday. One of them
lives in a splendid mansion in Kensington,
which was furnished at cost of G40, 900 !;
the other resides at Manchester. They
were brought before the Magistrate at
Guildhall on Wednesday, ana after the
charge against them had been stated, they
were remanded for a week. The Magis-
ate said he must hold them to bail in a
large sum, and $4,000 was named as the
figure. 1t was then late in the day, and
the lends of Messrs. Collie were not pre-
pared tor what had happened. The prose-
cutiOn, moreover, insisted on forty eight
hours to examine into the responsibility of
the bail that might be offered; and so
there WIS no remedy for the further dis
grace that awaited The accused. They were
conveyed 10 Newgate and there locked up
like any common criminals would be. The
next day there were plenty of their friends
ready TO bail them, but the prosecution
took its time, and it was not until yester-
day afternoon that the necessary formali-
ties were gone through with and the pris-
oners liberated. Their trial will be re
garded with great interest here. The
practice of negotiating accommodation
bills as 8 trade bills is a very common
one. There are even houses that accept
such bills for commission. If the Messrs.
Collie are convicted severe blow will be
struck at this practice. But it will be very
difficult TO convict them. / am told that
il will be shown that the banks which dis
counted their paper knew perfectly well
the nature of he bills, and took their risks
with their eyes open.

Guarding an Underground Treasure

Frank Engstronl, Swedish miner, well
known in Austin, has been since yester-
day morning barricaded in a drift con-
nected with the Grove mine, where body
of rich ore has lately been struck. He i
armed aith guns and refuses 20 let any
body come in or to- come out himself.
Sheriff Emery, who knows him well, went
to serve warrant on him on account OF
some thrt ats he had made TO one OF the
men employed by the Grove. but all at
tempts at explanation were vain. He has
a lot of powder in the drift, and swears he
will blow every thing TO atoms, himself
included. If any attempt at an entrance is
made. 1t appears the Grove p, ople broke
through 10 the place where Engstrom was
working, and where rich body of ore has
been found, they claiming it as their own
while Engstrom claims it as his. The
entrance to the latter's drift, which is quite
mile from the Grove incline, is barri-
caded. and, it is said, so much caved in
that it is very dangerous. The only safe
exit therefore is fhrough the Grove in
cline, but he declines TO come out, food
having been furnished him, and he says
that his dTitt will be taken possession ol

A Hint for Housewives.

Mr.. Stephen Green, a colored man liy-
ing on Spring Street, has been sorely
troubled for months past by colony OF
bed bugs who were ia the habit of holding
a moonlight banquet in his house, with Mr..
Green for the victim of their sanguinary
feasts. Last week he came to the cOnclu-
sion that he would not be a qGartermas-
rer's department for raiding bed bugs any
longer. and so invested in box OF vermin
exterminator. On the label Of the box,
which was so big with fate to unnumbered
hosts of the enemy, were directions for the
use of the poison, and among others was
one which directed ii to BE- rubbed in the
cracks of the bed. This puzzled Stephen.
He could not understand why the poison
should be rubbed in the cracks. He argued
that the bugs did not bite the cracks but
himself, and, therefore, if the poison was
to 90 any where it should be rubbed over
his body. SO he annointed himself and
turned in. The following morning when
he awoke the bed was fairly black with
the dead and dying, AMI second expert
ment tried the next night resulted ia the
same way. And now all the surviving
bu have fled the fatal spot. and Mr.
Green is happy.-LeSiHgtsn (Ky.) Dis

A Poor GirPs Fictitious Lunch.

The struggle TO keep up appearances IS
one of the saddest things in the world,
ANYWAY, and it has an added m0urnfulneSS
when a child is the actor in the usually
hopeless eHdeavOr. just before the close
of the last session of the public schools IN
this city, an incident took place whi,h, as
an illustration. is more than touching.
Al one Of the schools numbers of the pu-
pi,s were in the habit of bringing lunch
con with them. which at noon they ate
together. Among those who did not 90
home for dinner, the teacher in parLlru-
lar room noticed little girl who always
sat looking wistfully at her piaymates
when they went out with their luncheon
but never brought any herself. The child
was always neatly but very plainly clad,
and one of the closest of students in school
hours. This odd action of the chld's
lasted for some time, when, one day, the
teacher noticed that the little thing had
apparently brought her dinner with her.
The noon hour came and the children took
their lunch, as usual. and went out to eat
it, the little girl referred to alone remain
ING in the room, with her dinner wrapped
up in paper on the desk before her. The
teacher advanced TO the child and asL ed
her why she didn't 90 out to eat with the
rest, at the same time putting OUT her hand
toward the package on the desk. Quick
as thought. the girl clssped her hands over
it and exclaimed, sebbing:
Don't touch it, teacher; and don tell,
please! It's only blocks ! ="
And that was the fact. Having no din
ner to bring, and too proud to reveal the
poverty of her family, the child had care
fully wrapped up number OF small
blocks in paper and brought the package
to present the appearance of lunch. lt
was nothing; a mere ridiculous incident
in school life, but it was sufficienttO make
a fellow who heard the story feel bad
