Chief Brooks, of the Secret Service
Division OF the Treasury Department,
is perhaps the only detective in the
country who processes religious be-
lief and is member of an orthodox
church. Mr.. Brooks has been a Sun
day school superintendent, and while
he does not ntrude his religion any
where in a disagreeable way he prac-
tises his profession. 1t has always
been the custom of the Secret Service
to work seven days in the week, but
Mr.. Brooks on taking charge made an
order prohibiting Sunday work, and
he says after months experience he
thinks day rest is not only to the
spiritual but the material advantage
OF the service.

Capt. Harry Scott, OF the British
navy, has thrice saved his ship by dig
ging down to the coal ignited by spon-
taneous combustion. He sank a shaft
to the lower strata, and the men could
only work by standing in water.
The ignition is always under the hatch
waybecause when the coal is shot down
the spouts the heaviest Jumps tumble
forward, aft, or at the sides, leaving
the smallest in the middle, which be-
come so compact that the density Of
the mass prevents air from passing
through it or, in the event of fire, wa
ter from percolating. 1t flows toward
the bilges and into the timbers with
out extinguishing the fire or even
cooling the heated coal.

They are having lively jangle in
Philadelphia just now over the ring
ing of chimes at St. Mark Episcopal
Church. The courts have been APP
piled to for an I'M junction to restrain
the Church from ringing chimes, as
the chimes are out Of tune, and that
their discordant noises interferes with
the comfort of persons in the neigh
borhood. Why the courts have not
been asked to issue injunctions
against other churches in the neigh
borhood, whose bells arc every whit
as unmelodious as those of st Mark s,
is not exactly clear. The st. Mark $
people, who are Of the High Church
party, allege that the opposition arises
from most un-Christian jealousy on the
part of neighbors who espouse the
Low Church doctrines, and that they
take this peculiar method Of asserting
their hostility. Three or four Of the
Philadelphia newspapers have also
opened their batteries upon st. Mark $.

Mr.. Jacob Helper, living about
half a mile from Limerick Square, this
county, captured a rare bird on Fri
day in wooden trap box. This bird
has annoyed Mr., KEEPER for the past
two years by depredalins on his pouI-
try. 1t is question among those
pretty we'll versed in orni' biology as
to whether it is hawk or an eagle,
and it has the peculiarities Of both
birds. 1t measures a bout : feet be-
tween The tips Of the wings. 1t is
quite large enough for an eagle, and
it has the yellow beak Of that BIRD
On the other hand it has no white
feathers on the head and the tail, and
the beak, though curved, is short like
a hawks. 1t is very strong, aad when
removed from the trap it buried its
claws up to their roots in pine board,
and could only be made to loose It's
hold by prying them off with lever.

The LOuisia ma Sugar Report.

bIr. l.. Bouchereau has favored us with
copy of his pamphlet, State BENT of the
Sugar and Rice crops made in Louisiana in
1875 and 1885, which work Is for sale at
the bookstores OF James A. Gresham and
George Ellis & Brother. Mr.. Bouchereau
puts the sugar crop of the last season at
l44,146 hogsheads, an increase of q ,279
hogsheads ever tho previous season, and
the largest since the war, with the excep-
ton of the crop of 1870. The author bases
his tabular statements on reports from the
different plantations in each parish, and
his work is probably as nearly correct as it
is possible to make report of the kind.
The book is valuable to merchants and all
interested in the products of Louisiana.

punish crime. Gentlemen of pleasing ad-
dress have been selected to visit New Or

make the demanded removals. A commit
tee of public safety has been organized to
form an Office seekers pool. All of these
appliances have failed of the purpose in

Daua,n Letter.

The following is the letter of Hon. r. H.
Dana, Jr., TO which reference has been made
in the dispatches from Washington:
Boston, March l6, 1876.
To the Bon. George s. Boutwell,:
DEAR S1R-When l first heard that
charges were to be made against me before
the committee, my impulse was to demand
q hearing, and asked you to do so; but in
my telegram Of the fourteenth l said that
If the uesticn was upon my general fitness,
l had nothing to cay; but could not be-
lieve that q committee would listen to
charges affecting my honor from antagon.
lists, and decioe adversely to me with
ont offering some opportunity of ex-
PLANTATION. I was careful not to ask
for hearing, but only to express my
belief that no committee would act ad
verse!y to me on an er parte hearing. did
not then know what the committee had
done, but only heard rumors that they had
heard, or intended to hear, my antagonists.
This morning learn that fact authentically
for the first time. learn that the commit
tee did give secret es parte hearing to two
meh known to be my enemies on personal
grounds, and on that hearing alone came
to an adverse decision and acted upon it.
I understood, further, that objections made
before the COMMITTEES partly related to
party pOllIlcs. Oul manly, perhaps, TO
charges made by my antagonists in pri-
vate civil action. l trust. my dear Mr..
Boutwell,, that you know me we'll enough
to understand that I shall not ask to be
heard before the committee under such cir
cumstances. value highly the honor of
the Office rendered to me, and am grateful
to the government for the distinguished
compliment. When l saw the surprising
unanimity. and may even cay enthusiasm,
with which it was received by the press and
the public-altogether the most gratifying
thing l ever experienced-I will say to
you frankly that it removed every doubt
arising out of my private circumstances, and
that determined to accept the Office. But
there is nothing in the gift of the govern
ment which would induce me to 60 to
Washington and submit question touch
ing my honor to q committee which has
taken the course Which has been taken by
the Senate Committee of Foreign Relations.
l do not wish my nomination withdrawn
under the circumstances. 1t will not be
withdrawn with my assent. If the Senate
re ject it under the present circumstances,
trust shall not fail of the grace to submit
with eousnimity. You may make what use
Of this letter you think tjudicious. Yours
very truly, RICHARD H. DANA, JR.

The play at the Varieties Theatre last
night was "Evadne," with Miss Mary An
derson in the title role. In this character
Miss Anderson first appeared before New
Orleans public, and it is the best persona r
ton of character she has given. The sup
port was creditable. The piece has four
male characters of equal Importance. Lasdo-
rico. of villainous memory; Colonno, the
brother: Tinceu-io, the lover, and the King.
It is pleasure to record the successes Of
the deserving and younger members of the
company, and it must be said sha. Mr. T..
F. Egbert did himself great credit by act
ing JIneen.io. With the exception of
Cassie, during Mr.. McCuIlough's engage
ment, and now and then comedy part,
Mr.. Egbert has not been prominent in the

of good work, and he doee it when occasion
offers. Tonight will be acted "Rom=o and

A Pair OF New Orleans Thieves and
$1,000.

Detective Huthsing made very credit
ward of $4,000 in money, stolen from q
New Orleans house. The particulars of the
robbery are not yet known in this city, the
only information received being a dispatch
from the chief of police of New Orleans to
Chief McDOnough notifying him to look out
for James Little and William O'Malley.
two boys, eighteen and sixteen years of age
respectively, who we're wanted for grand
larceny. The dispatch gave a mesgre
description Of the boys, and stated
the amount Of the larceny at several thous
tectives had the information, and last
evening Detective Huthsing met two
youngsters answering the description at
the corner of Fourth and Pine streets. AS
certaining that the couple we're strangers
in the city he concluded to take them in. A
third party who was with them attempted
to interfere, but on being flung rather care
lessly into the middle of the street desisted.
The officer started for the station with the
Office was suddenly attacked from be-
hind by the mana tall athletic fel.
low-who had been with the boys at first.
Huthsing was staggered by a blow
on the side of the head. but as both boys
are light weights he hung to both of their
coats with one hand and went for his pist ol
with the other. The assailant seeing that
the fat cop didn't fall and was gettins his
gun: scampered Off and escaped. The two
boys at the station gave the names Of Henry
and William Lighthouse, and claimed to
be brothers. On being searched the lit
tie one turned up nothing, but the elder
one had $40 in his pockets and eight $500
bank notes closely wadded up in one hand.
They finally admitted that they were the
boys wanted and eaid the fellow who tried to
rescue them, came through with them from
jackson, Mississippi. They came in on the
Iron Mountain railroad, and had OILY been
in town fow hours when captured. They
were Immediately forwarded to the Four
Courts and locked up for the night. They
signiied their willingness to go back with
out acquisitions, as they have friends in
New Orleans. This was most fortunate
and creditable capture for Detective Huth-
sing, who has been remarkably successful of
late in working important cases.-St. Louis
