ACCUSED OF FORGERY.
rs,tofT,C,pvsr, Of Whitney,, B,tsl

Arrest of T. C. Dyer, OF Whitney's Hotel.
Last Saturday evening Detectives McElfresh
and Sargent arrested Mr.. T. c. Dyer proprietor
of Whitney's hotel, Capitol Hill, on a warrant
sworn out by Mr.. J. Z. EastbrOok charging him
with forgery. 1t seems that not long ago the &C
eused had negotiated with Mr.. EastbrOOk for the
loan Of a certain SUN Of money, agreeing to pay
q handsome bonus and interest for its use, and
give bis notes to cover the amount, promising 70
meet them at maturity. The terms were &C
cepted. msBey loaned and paper received. Shortly
alter, while making an examination Of the notes.
Mr.. Eastbrook discovered that Dyer had not
signed them, but used the name Of another party,
unknown In the transaction and to the holder Of
the paper Believing himself TO be the victim Of
a premeditated scheme to defrsud him of his
money, he took recourse to tie law as the surest
method OF recovering the funds he had loaned
under the fraudulent negotiations, and had Mr..
Dyer arrested on the charge Of forgery. He was
taken to police headquarters by the detectives,
where he is held to await a hearing before Judge
Smell to- day.

st1engIh Of Old Hahita.

1t is unpleaEant TO learn that Bendigo. once
renowned in the English prize ring, and Of late
celebrated as an exceedingly earnest street
preacher, has hada temporary blackslidIng 1t
was at shooting match that the devil tackled
him, aDd gave him q heavy throw. Betting was
lively: the old pugilist became excited; he had .
Wellhlled purse, and he thought The might as
we'll increase its contents. At the same time he
tried TO stie the repTOaches Of his conscience BY
giving religious turn TO the transaction. So
pulling out $3.50 In gold, he said to the sinful
crowd around him: II have given my heart to
Christ and turned teetotaI, and l have got this
by It. have fought for public houses and prisons
long enough, ana when you get as old as me, and
get seventy pounds. you'll not do amiss, old boy.
III have the bird-a bob on the the bird! Another
bob! Who'll have the gun2 A bob on the bird !"
The story got out, to the great scandal OF the
brethren, and on the following Sunday, at an
outdoor meeting, when great crowd was pres
emit, Bendigo appeared on the platform, and made
q contrits confession, admitting that he had beea
at the match, and bet upon q bird. After this
exhibition OF penitence there was general rejoic-
ing, and Bendlgo, assisted by the congregation,
sang the following verse:
The devil had me once, but let me go,
Glory, Hallelujahi
He wants me again, but don't mean TO 90,
Glory, Hallelujah!

AN OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT.
The Accused Held for a Hearing

Inc Accused n6lu lOE nearing,
Last Thursday afternoon, while DR.. K. A. Page
was sitting alone in his Office on -Four. ands- half
street. below c street, attending to some business
matters, Mr. H. p. Howard, grocer, corner Of
Third and streets northwest, entered and by
his action indicated that he was in search Of med
zeal advice. The physician discontinued his writ
ing and gave his attention to the visitor when he
soon learned that business matters prompted ths
call. A lengthy discussion was entered Into, con-
stantly growing warmer, until the lie was given
by the CoctOr WhereupOn Howard, who is quite a
strong man, drew of and gave him a heavy blow
with his left FIST on the right side of the face.
This had the effect OF upsetting the equilibrium
OF the physician, who had srisen during the con-
troversy, and as he was falliBg Howard planted
his right on the other side, thereby Fastening his
descent and stretching him almost insens6le on
the floor. He then took his departure, evidently
satisfied with the settlement he had made. The
doctor, who being surprised by the sudden and
unexpected encounter, was considerably WOCsted
soon had his two eyes deeply set in mourning,
and, DESPITE all efforts to lessen the discolorinR
the black circles still remain.
Saturday morning, alter consulting his friends
he procured n warrant for the arrest Of Howard
1t was placed in the hands Of Detectives NOEL
fresh and Sargent, and the accused was arrested
and taken to the Police Court, where he gave ball
for his appearance to-day.

Good Citlzen-Laborer,

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: One day not long ago a worthy man made
to me, while in general conversation, this very
sound remark: that he regarded ''the man who
quietly and honestly earned his living, aud COM
fOrtably provided Tor bis family By his steady,
honest toll, without resOrting to speculatioas, as
about the highest standard OF q good citizen, and
entitled TO the highest general respect which
is unquestonably true doctrine every time. a
similar idea was expressed many years ago by old
Gov. Buell., Of New York, in an agricultu ral ad-
dress. He was regulating the idea held by too
many, that farmer toll and other hard labor was
mental, Ungenteel and worthy Of less respect than
more fashionable pursuits, and he said: ~ ven
ture to lay down this proposition: that he who by
his industry provides Tor the wants and comforts
Of himself and family, and renders some service
to society at large performs the highest duties Of
life, and will ultimately be rewarded by con-
scious rectitute Of life and the greatest measure
Of genuine happiness" TOiIers, think Of that.
There is the true dignity of labor. ID. Sc.

The ResEemsr Steamer.


Lord Henry Lennon writes to the London
Times, March Z: The interest felt By the public
in the Channel steamer Bessemer is so great that
you will probably be willing TO receive an aceoant
Of her FIRST sea passage which she has Just COM
pIeted. l therefore send the Impressions formed
upon my mind By what saw rs q passenger on
board Of her from Hull to Grayesend:
For reasons connected with the future service Of
the ship between Dover and Calais It was de-
cided that although few Of the minor works
upon her were yet incomplete, she should leave
the Humber yesterday for the Thames, and haY
in her, l awaited myself Of the opportunity which
was kindly afforded me Of joining her at Hull
yesterday afternoon. On doing so found that,
owing to the rain and snow which had lately
prevailed at Hull the vessel was scarcely as COM
plete as / should have expected to md her on the
eve Of such a passage, especially IS " was well
known that q strong wind was blowing and
considerable sea had been for several days run
ming out side the river. Nevertheless, the ship
left the dock between and o'clock, was swung
afterWarc, and at O'Clock We started down the
Humber, having on board much more coal than
her daily service but nevertheless, not sufficient
10 iustify its rapid expenditure upon the produc
tion Of full speed in the engines, especially as
there were certain experiments to be made upon
the passage, and 3 very rough sea had to Do en-

Humber and found ourselves in the presence Of

may say at once that whatever other qualities
the Bessemer may possess. she certainly proved
herself then and throughout the night most re-
markable for the almost total absence OF pitch
ing and for the and moderation Of her rolling
No doubt, as regards the pitching, something Is
due to her great length-some $50 feet-out this
/ cannot suppose is sufficient alone to account for
the extraordinary steadiness which the Bessemer
exhibits IN this respect. 1t was q striking sight
TO witness the behavior Of the low ends Of the
ship in the heavy seas which We encountered,
both bow and stern very frequently disappearing
entirely for a moment beneath the waves that
rolled over them. Nor was the rolling OF the ship
much less remarkable than her pitching, for IL In
no case amounted to what would be called heavy
or violent rolling, notwithstanding the state Of
the sea. 1t was obvious to any one accustomed to
the rolling Of ships that some powerful cause was
at work tending to diminish both the frequsney
and the violence Of the vessels oscillations, aud
i presume that cause IL to be found In the unusu-
ally deep bilge keels with which she has been
provided, and which particularly struck my at
tention on the morning before the launch last
autumn. But whatever the cause may be. the
