Skill of a Chinese Thief.

John certainly deserves to take rank
among the most expert thieves in the
world. There are several aids to his
becoming an adept, as, for instance,
his magpie love fol-. picking and hiding;
his utter shamelessness in the matter;
his stolidity of feature his lOoseness of
garment. | well remember being in q
cigar store one evening when John en-
tered, asking his way to certain street
some two miles off, with the innocence
of a cherub, ard slipped a box of
"Bouquets' up his sleeve with the
adroitness of Cockney cracksman. 4
mirror, however, had betrayed. him,
and John was delayed in setting out on
his walk until policeman was called.
'He has stolen box of cigars" said
the proprietor, d" and has it it on him."
John smiled with beautiful simplicity,
and kept up reiterated protest that
"Me honest boy-allee same belly

searched. And then began a quest. A
box had slid up his right arm minute
ago, but 'twasn't there now; nor was it

THERE is a disagreement between the
two parties in Colorado as TO whether
the recent election for Congressman in
that State was for the uneXpired term
in the Fory-fourth Congress only, or
for both that and the full term OF the
Forty-fifth Congress. The Republicans
claim the latter to be the case, while the
Democrats hold that there is no law to
warrant the election OF a Representa-
tive for more than one term ut enc
election. The Democratic State Conn
mittee, in this view Of the case, has is
sued a call for all Democrats to vote for
a Representative Of the Forty-fGth Con-
gress on the 9TH of November, and VIII
contest Belford's right to seat after
the expiration of his present term. The
Republicans will take no part in the
election, relying upon the legality of
their claims for both terms.
