A CUBAN PICKPOCKET.
Caught in the Act.

At about half-past IL o'clock Friday, a lady
who was walking on Carondelet street, had
her pocketbook, containing SIS, taken from
her pocket. She at once discovered the per-
son who had distracted it, and following
closely upon his track, kept him in sight
until she espied Officer Rouan of the First,
approaching.
The pickpocket saw that she was about to
apply to the officer, and turning around gave
her the pocketbook and told her that little
boy had taken it, but this tale did not 60
down with Officer Rowan, who conducted
him to the Central Station, when the pick
pocket was discovered to be no less person
age than the notorious Joe Fernandez, alias
Bonaventure, Cuban pickpocket, well known
to the police of this city.
Fernandez has been arrested several times
previously for the same offsnse, but has inva-
riabls escaped the severity of the law; but
this time it seems that he has carried the
pitcher to the we'll once too often, as he has
been at last caught in the act. He was taken
before Judge Evans, where he was arraigned
and remanded under bonds of $1,000.

FOR THE DOCTORS.
4 Case of Spontaneous Cure of
FemOral AneuriSm.

A most remarkable case, and the only one
of the kind on record, has been brought by
the attending physician to the attention of
DR.. G. B. White, President of the Board of
Health, who, thinking it one we'll worthy the
consideration of the medical fraternity, will
have the subject at his Office to-day, from 10
A. NJ. until or P. M.
Some time ago United States soldier, STA
toned at the Barracks, in rising quickly to a
sitting position in bed, ruptured the femc rsl
artery.
The man fell back, and in a few moments
was to all appearances dead. A physician
whose name is unknown to US was summoned,
and on arriving found that there was still life,
but recognizing the tact that the femoral ar
terry had been ruptured, he notified those
present that death was only a question of
time He however gave his patient stimu-
ulants, and he rallied, and with stimulants he
was "kept up"
His leg swelled to three times its natural
size, and remained so for number Of days,
the man sinking and rallying all the while.
At last the swelling began to subside and
the man to improve, and he continued to i'm

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The Controller some
time ago transmitted letters from the FIRST
National Bank of Florida and the Citizens
National Bank of Raleigh, N. c., to the Soil
citor of the Treasury for his opinion as to the
right of State to impose license tax upon
the capital Of national banks, and also the
right of State officers to examining national
banks or to require reports of their affairs to
be made to them.
The Solicitor has given an elaborate opin-
ion that q license upon the capital of a na-
tional bank can not be enforced, and that
State officers have no right either to examine
or to exact reports from national banks. He
says this entire legislation is at variance with
the law as adjudicated and destructive of the
principles governing the relations of the
federal and State governments.

A PROMISING CASE.
One Hundred Witnesses Sum-
mOned.

Legal circles are in somewhat of commo-
ton over succession case which promises to
become notable before many days. 1t ap-
pears about two years ago Patrick Halpin, a
we'll known veterinary surgeon, whose stables
were situated on st. Joseph street, near Fou-
cher, died leaving fortune of about S95, 900.
His succession was duly opaned in Judge
Tissots court, and the formalities of the law
complied with.
Then came the important quesions. Mary
Ann Dalton, as wife, claimed the property,
alleging that she had been lawfully married
by justice of the peace in Mississippi. The
brothers of Halpin oppose the widows claims,
and claim that Halpin never married Mary
Ann Dalton. A few days ago the justice of
the peace from Mississippi was brought down
to the city, and testified to the fact of having
performed the marriage ceremony between
Patrick Halpin and Mary Ann Dalton.
This naturally produced stir, and now,
to combat the evidence, it is stated that one
hundred and eight witnesses are summoned
before the Second District Court for Monday,
to prove that Mrs. Halpin was not Mrs. Hal
pin.
The case will be doubtless cause celebre.

A Discouraged Editor.

He was sad-eyed, meek-faced man, and
we suppose he merely wished TO give us a
news item, but when he commenced telling
US about building barn on his rancho 100
by 230 feet, seven stories high and orna-
mented with bay windows, We thought it was
time to check him, and so we commenced:
"Well, we must admit that that is pretty
large barn for this country, but back in the
States our father built barn 325 by 500 feet,
nine stories high and furnished with steam
elevators; the ="
"Back in the States" interrupted our lis
tener. "Why, that wasn't much of a barn
for the States. I remember now that when
was quite young my father built chicken
coop $50 by 1872 feet. don't recollect how
many stories it was high, but 1 know there
was cupola on it for the BOOSTERS"
"About how high was that cupola?" we
asked.
81 don't remember the exact height now,
mister" was the reply, "but know it was
so high that the fourteen upper tiers of roost-
ers died from the effects of the light atmos-
phere the first night
Then he looked up toward the ceiling, and
commenced humming: AZ love the truth, y

pile, and wondered why somebody was al

THE MARSHALL SCHOOL
CRUELTY CASE.
Before Judge Evans.

F. A. Golden, Principal of the Marshall
School, charged with having cruelty beaten a
little six year old boy, one A. Meyers, was
brought up before Judge Evans. Several
children appeared as witnesses, but on &C.
count of their age could not give testimony.
Mrs. Golden, teacher in the school-no
relative of F. A. Golden-stated that on the
day in question she was about to administer
chastisement to the boy when he objected,
saying that his mother did not wish him to be
whipped, whereupon Mrs. Golden called upon
the principal, who came into her room and
ordered young Meyers to hold out his hand.
This the boy refused to do, when Golden chas-
tised him until he complied.
Judge Evans, after hearing the testimony,
considered that Golden had overstepped his
authority, and asked Mr.. Boothby if he con-
sidered this the just rule of chastisement
upon little children. Mr.. Boothby said /"
have received worse in my life." The Judge
replied eyes, and have no doubt that you
richly deserved it." This ended the cross
firing, when Judge Evans sent Golden before
the First District Court, charged with assault
and battery, under $3.50 bonds.

THE LEVEES.
Reply Of the Acting Auditor to the
Board of Engineers.

Chief Clerk an Acting Auditor F. W. Sholtz,
yesterday morning sent the following in
reply to the report of the State Board of
Engineers
New ORLEANS, Oct. 1, 1875.
Gen. James Longstreet, President Commission
of Engineers:
General-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of the communication from your
board of the 30th ult., with inclosed list of
levees ordered to be constructed for the ensu-
ing levee year, aggregating 2,982,Sl0 cubic
yards.
In the absence of the Auditor I am con-
strained to defer giving you an elaborate reply.
I may say, however, that since Mr.. Clinton's
letter to you of October 7th, 1874, on the same
subject, know OF no occurrence which would
justify change or modif cation of his views
in the premises as expressed to you in the
communication alluded to-
The levee tax being the same as last year
the probable revenue depends on the assess
ment, and that has not been increased or d.
minished sufficiently to materially effect the
amount Of collectable tax. What proportion
will be collected during next year can only
be estimated, and this venture to say you
can do as satisfactorily as I can. see no
reason to think the proportion will vary ma
terially from that of last year. Very respect
fully, T. N. SHoLTz,
Chief Clerk and Acting Auditor.

A WHOLESALE FORGERY.
The Forger Foiled.
He Follows His Victim to Biloxi.

John Mandere, Frenchman, and baker
by occupation, was arrested by Detectives
Pecora and Hennessey at $50 P. NJ. Fri
day. on Union street, Third District, charged
by Francis Bonseigneur with the forgery Of
$500. The particulars are as follows:
Some time ago Mandere discovered that
Bonseigneur had some $500 on deposit in the
New Orleans Savings Institution, Canal
street. Mandere had been in the habit of trad
ing with ]. B. Camors, -four merchant, on
Tchoupitoulas street, and owed him some
5000. He forged check on the Savings In
stitution, signing the name OF Francois Bon
seigneur, for $500, and gave it to Mr.. Camors,
in payment Of his debt, asking that Mr..
Camors give him the difference in money.
The check was presented at the bank, but
payment was refused, as the bank book did
not accompany the check. Mr.. Camors
asked if he was not sufficiently we'll known.
The teller of the bank said that if Mr. Ca
mors would be responsible for the amount in
the event that it was not all right. it would be
paid. Mr. Camors said that he would look
further into the matter, and telegraphed to
Mr.. Bonseigneur. who was at the time in
Biloxi, and received an answer that he had
not drawn check for any such amount, and
that he had his bank book with him.
This fact came to the mind of Mandere,
who Immediately followed Bonseigneur to
Biloxi for the purpose of obtaining possession
of the bank book. Gaining access to the
room in which Mr.. Bonseigneur was living, he
made every attempt to get possession OF the
coveted book, but failed in his design, as the
owner had it sewed up in the leg Of his pan
falcons.
He then returned to the city, thinking that
nothing more would be said about the case
But Mr.. Bonseigneur, fearing recurrence of
the same little game, repaired to the Central
Station and laid the case before Capt. Malone,
who placed the case in the hands of the de-
tectiYes, who made the arrest as above stated

From MacMilan's Magazine
Although serfdom in some form existed less

thirty years ago in many parts of Germany,
and almost everywhere in the Austrian en-
pire, we should have to go back several GEN.
turtles to find in Western Europe peasantry
situated as badly as were the peasantry of
Russia some fifty or sixty years since. The
oretically they were not only attached to the
soil, but were irremovable from it. Practically
however, they we're sold like cattle; and as re-
Gently as the reign of Alexander l advertise
ments appeared in the Journal Of the academy
to the effect that peasants, apart from land,
would on stated days be put up to auction.
Their position was unfortunate enough as
fixed by law. But. in addition to that, they
were illegally treated. On many estates, long
after the Emperor Paul had restricted the
peasants task-work to three days in the week,
they we're compelled to labor six, and even
seven days for the sole benefit of the proprie-
tors Alex ,nders numerous edcts in favor of
the serf we're disregarded, and sometimes (as
in the case above referred to of seles by auc-
tion) disregarded quite openly. The Emperor
Nicholas law against the breaking up OF peas
ants families when inheritances were to be d.
vided, or when estat es for other reasons changed
hands, was equally set at naught; and all
sorts of abuses existed as natural conse-
quence of the fact that the administration of
Justice on estates was exercised in small mat
ters by the proprietors as such, in matters of
importance by judges chosen by the proprie-
tors from among those of their body who
would consent to fill an Office to which no
honor was attached, and which only repaid
the holder by the opportunity it afforded him
of receiving brides. No amelioration, indeed,
of the position of the Russian peasants
would have been of much avail had it not
been accompanied by complete reform Ct
the Russian Judicial system. Bat leaving
aside all questions of injustice, the legal posi-
ton of the Russian peasant, up to the period
of his emancipation fourteen years ago, or
rather up to the publication of the anticipa-
tory law on the subject, was strikingly like
that of slave.
Though recruitment was effected as rule
by lot, proprietor could send to the army
any peasant he chose to select Without as
signing the least reason, he had only to in
form the government of his wish to dispatch
a peasant to Siberia, and further to supply an
outfit, and small sum of meney for travelling
expenses, in order to get the unfortunate man
exiled for the rest of his life. A proprietor
could, moreover, impose particular marriage
on serf, or prevent his getting married. He
could make the serf work without wages; and
he could subject him to arbitrary punish
ments for any sort of offense, or for no offsnse
at all.
