Converted PickpOcket.

John Collins, talented London pick
pocket, took an active part in the Moody
and Sankey meetings, and after the depar-
ture of the evangelists became a popular
singer and exhorter. His piety was not
questioned by his fellow::workers, and his
friends among the thieves did not expose
him. Thus he was enabled to pick pockets
with great facility, often taking the watches
and pocketbooks of men and women while
praying at their sides, or while explaining
to them the way of salvation. Continued
success perhaps made him careless, for
while taking part in the exercises at the lay
ing of a corner stone for church in Tx
bridge, he was caught stealing a watch
from a woman who was sharing hymn
book with him during the singing. He was
arrested, and then great number of rob-
berries were traced TO him.

The Days OF Romance.

Who says that the days of romance are
numbered9 They we're peasants in blue
blouses,, they worked about the chateau,
and they fell in love with their employer S
daughters, who, as the Bah ballad has it,,
"reciprocated" it, The young ladies were
handsome and accomplished, speaking
French, English and italian fuently, and
each was entitled to fortune on coming Of
age. Their father, an elderly French gen.
tleman, discovered one morning that they
had eloped with the two young gardeners.
He followed the runaways across the chan
mel to Southampton, aud overlook them
at Liverpool. The Paulines did not
wish to leave their Claudes, and hence there
were tears, threats and vows, and finally a
parting. The young ladies were under age
one being nineteen and the other seven
teen-and the father exercised his parental
authority. Their sweethearts-pretty boys
of fifteen and seventeen-dec ided to set sail
for America without delay. The elder lady
whispered to her low-born lover that she
would soon be of age and have several tbous-
and francs a year in her own right, and-so
they parted. If you don't say this is pref
ty nosegay from the gardens of romance,
may you never sec the Lady of Lyons
again:

understand why she was prevented from
going out.
She knew that Louise was at that mo.
ment in the street below. She had seer
that sister for whom she had searched sc
long, and just at that moment when she
could clasp her in her arms once more, she
found herself prevented by a guard Of
armed men.
In her frenzy, she struggled with the
stalwart man, thinking that she might
force passage, and regain the street in
time to meet her loved sister.
The countess sank half-fainting into a
chair, as she saw her husband enter upon
an errand which she could guess concern
ed her, and she at once conjectured that
the Count de Linieres had discovered her
secret which for SO many years she had
guarded.
"Gentlemen-gentlemen,d do not stop mev'
exclaimed Henriette, as she saw how use.
less her struggles were.
The men looked at the count as if to ask
for orders, and he, rightly interpreting
their looks, said, in cold, stern voice:
"Do your duty"
In moment more Henriette was seized
firmly by two Of the guards, who awaited
de Linieres orders to carry her away.
"In the name of Heaven; let me 20 p
implored the poor girl, turning towards
the count."I tell you l must 20 to her, ii
is she, do you not hear 2 Her voice grows
fainter. Oh, for heavens sake have pity,
let me 60, or shall lose her againw
"Take this girl to Salpetriere" exclaim-
e.. ~. count, who was not moved from his
p,;.poie by Henriette's passionate plead
ing.
ooh, no--.nov implored the poor girl, as
the rough soldiers forced her away.
The countess seemed to recover portion
of her self-possession as Henriette was
forced away. She understood now that
she must rescue Louise before it was too
late, and she rushed towards the door; but
her husband barred the passage.
"At least, let me go. | must 60 p she
exclaimed, excitedly.
"You will remain where you are, mad
ame," said the count, taking her almost
roughly by the arm. "You have not yet
told me what brought you here"
Monsieur, will, LATER" irantically ex-
claimed the poor woman, almost beside
herself with anxiety. II will tell you alI
but now let me go before She"
"Of whom are you speaking, madame?'
was the stern interruption.
"Of whom" almost shrieked the count
ess. "Why, of-of-my-"
The poor woman could say 40 more
In her excitement she had almost said,
"my child" but she saw the counts stern,
angry gaze fixed upon her, and she sank
back in her chair in dead swoon.
Count de Linieres gave hard, cold look
at Ills wife, without attempting to aid her.
and then turning, left the room.
As he reached the street, he heard sad,
sweet voice singing in the distance; but to
him it meant nothing, save the song Of a
street-begger, and he paid no attention to
it.
To two would it have spoken in tones Of
deepest misery had they heard it; but one
was on her way to Saltpetrier, and the
other, in that attic-room, unconscious Of
all that was passing around her.

FAY OF TERRITORIAL OFFICERS. bill
Is no" up before the House Of Represen tatiyes
that provides for reduction of 10 nor
cent IN the pay Of all territorial officials So
tar as the governor and secretary ara CON-
cerned' this reduction is euirely proper and
we trust that it will be made. PRACTICABLE
these Offices are sinecures, and whatever nav
the incumbents receive may be regarded as
clear gain. With the Justices Of the District
and supreme Courts it is quite different and
IN the case of these gentlemen the reduction
would work great hardship. In the frs.
place the justices are required to be learned
IN the law, and in point of fact they ara
much above the average of the legal profes.
SION. Custom and deceney requires them to
abstain from methods by which men in otbsr
positions add TO their gains, and in this WAY
/ they are restricted TO the salary fixed bv law
Ihe governor can 90 into the courts and prae.
tice hls profession, and in that way gain a
respectable income. He can also 90 into ont
! side speculatiOns-some Of them of doubtful
| eharacter-aud in these his position gives
him advantage over men in private life.
These remarks apply with equal force TO the
secretary, and of both these officials it is not
too much to say that their public positions
have been made the means of adding largely
to their private gains. As already remarked,
the justices are debarred from all oppor,u-
mites of this kind, and hence We deem any
reduction from the salary now paid them as
Of doubtful policy The pay of a Judge
should be sufficient to provide for his imme-
diate wants, and enable him TO lay up some.
thing against raiuy day. In this territory
We have an able and upright Judiciary,
and if the system Of reducing their pay to
the lowest figure is carried out, we fear that
men of less ability and a lower standard OF
integrity will take the places they now fill
y poorly paid judiciary must necessarily be-
come weak and servile, and in the interest Of
justice, without which society itself cannot
exist, we trust that in the general reduction
the Judiciary may be spared.

FILTHY ALLEYs.-In the course Of our

Many OF the persons living on this alley keep

gNpLEToS's CASE STATED.-George Fl.
Pendleton, of Ohio, has been before the CON-
mittee on war expenditures 10 explain his
connection with the claim of the Kentucky
Central Railroad Company against the gov
ernment. AIr. Psndleton says that the claim
was for nearly one hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars. BE was president of the COM
pauy and the administrator of the Bowler
estate As president he made contract with
himself as agent, by which he was to receive
fifty per cent. Of the claim. The government,
through tie aid Ct Mr.. Belknap, paid him
the claim, eighty thousand dollars of which
he retained as a ''fee''-sixty-eight thousand
dollars going 10 the company. He swesrs
that none Of this money was paid TO Belknap
or to any of his family, or to any one repre-
representing the secretary. II Ia difficult to
chAraeterize this transaction II Mr.. Pendle-
ton received the eighty thousand dollars for
his " influence" then comes the upeomfort-
able reflection that Influence " is much too
valuable, especially when possessed by DEM
ocraJic statesman over republican admins
tralion II the money WAS really due the
road then Mr. Pendleton, as president,
awarding him-elf the larger share of the
claim, is in a painful position, one that will
no; admit of All intelligent explanation to
the stockholders of the read. If the money
was not due then Mr.. Belknap in award
ing the claim was guilty of breach
of duty, in which Mr.. Pendleton shares.
Altogether the transaction reflects no credit
upon Mr Pendleton, however We may view
it, He may have been legally entitled to
the money which he earned under his eou
tract. But morally the whole business is a
Job. Its revelation closes the career Of Mr..
Peudleton as a useful aDd trusted leader Of
his party. 1t will be regarded with sorrow
by the country.
