A CASE OF CONSCIENCE.
How the Irregularities In the North Caro-
lima Marshalship were Discovered.

TCincnnaH Enquirer.1
It turns out that irregularities In the
United States Marshal's office In the
Western District Of North Carolina
were discovered through fears OF O
guilty conscience. Rumors OF irregu-
Iaritfes had reached Attorney General
Devens, and the District Attorney at
Ashville, North Carolina. was quietly
R nysssganEI se psp sasnp t oo AND and
were sleeping together. One night
Frank, whose guilt had made him ner-
vous, imagined that he heard footsteps
on the porch. Rising up in bed, he said ::
my God, Reid, they're comingl"
Reid replied, II reckon not, but Frank,
thoroughly scared, only took time
to say. "take care of my saddle bags !;
they contain important papers, which
must not be SEEM" and, jumping
through the window, fled hastily in his
night.clothes, and next day came on to
Washington. Reid informed the Dis
trict Attorney of Franks strange re-
mark. The saddle-bags were examined
and In them were found an assortment
of certificates for witnesses fees and
mileage, to be drawn upon presentation
to Marshal Douglas, which were signed
with the. signatures supposed to be
forgedl OF United States Commissioners
Weeks and Rodgers. There were also
some farged certificates signed in blank,
and commissioner warrant Of arrest,
falsely Endorsed as executed, for the
evident purpose OF securing the fees,
amounting to about twenty-five dollars.
An examination Of Franks accounts in
the Department of Justice here shows
many fraudulent charges. In one case
q charge is made for forty-five miles
travel to secure a witness who lived
within one mile. Charges were also
made for imaginary guards, and board
for imaginary prisoners. On the
strength of these papers Frank was ar
rested here, and numerous witnesses
have been summoned to attend his ex-
animation next Monday. Douglas, the
marshal involved, is son of Stephen
A. Douglas.

Paris Letter to Chicago Inter 0ceaa.l
| stood looking at this picture "a
"Virgin and Child" in the pre-Ra-
phaelite gallery, wondering why
those early painters saw only the
agony of the Christ's story and
never its glory, when | became con-
scious that somebody stood behind
me. He-for it was a she" great,
grand, splendid looking che" with
a white beard and blue eyes-was
looking at the Botello. His face
seemed Swallowed, as if he, too, felt
the strange, sad fascination OF the
picture. He wore a shocking bad
hat, a soft, low crowned felt, with q
most disreputable bung in it. He
had no gloves, and his garments
we're those of a well to do merchant.
He was accompanied by an impish
looking chap Of about fifty, a per-
feet pocket piece Of a Gaul. They
talked in French about the picture,
the Lilliputian lo~quaciously, but
with an evident desire to get away
from it, the other quiet and resery-
eddy, but evidently with deep feel
ing. There was not only a kingli-
ness in this mans presence, such as,
if the Saxon Alfred had possessed,
he could never have, undetected,
baked cakes at goatherd's cottage
or played at minstrel in Danish
tents, but there was a greater ma
jesty than that of manner-an in
definable something which is more
felt than seen, and which would
command respect from the v%eriest
sans culotte who ever shrieked
give la Republique !" But he is
not a king. Nobody looked after
him, nobody followed him, nobody
knew him. Republican France is a
country of toggery, where every
twopenny official glistens in brass
and German silver. How, then,
could one expect that a gloyeless
man in a seedy tile was else than
the bourgeois whose garment he
wore He was not a king, but he
was the Emperor of Brazil doing
the Louvre incognito, as best suits
his quiet tastes. "There goes the
Emperor" | whispered to a French
girl copying near, as his Majesty
walked away. "The Emperor she
exclaimed, wildly, as if The ghost of
the Man Of Sedan had come to cool
off in the Louvre. "0h p she adj

ment, cit is only the Emperor Of

Hawkinsvillo Dispatoh.i

Hawkinsville Dispatch.I
Old Aunt Sally Manning left
Hawkinsville a few weeks ago to
visit her old home in Virginia, and
if possible find some of her people.
1t is about thirty years since Aunt
Sally left Norfolk. Since the war
she has been industrious and frugal,
and accumulated money sufficient
to buy her a little home on the
street below Messrs. Ferguson Il
Co.'s store, and had some money
extra. About the first of last month
she made her arrangements, cooked
rationS, bought a ticket from Haw-
kinsville to Macon, and there pro-
cured a through ticket to Norfolk,
where she arrived in due time.
Aunt Sally says she was astonished
to find the streets of Norfolk
"turned and crooked about so much
since she was dar befo. All de folks
'peared strange. Oar was lots of
new houses put up and big ships on
de waters, and nobody 'peared to
know her."
She at once began searching for
her white people, and after a long
inquiry found that the old folks
were dead, but that her young mis-
sus, de little gal dat she used to
niss and think so much of, was still
living" She at last found her slit
tie missus"-an aged woman now,
with her second husband and four
children. AS soon as she saw old
"Mammy Sally and recognized her,
she ran to the old woman, threw
her arms around her, and embraced
and wept over her as if she were her
real mother. Aunt Sally's next
search was for her husband, and she
found him living in the country
near Norfolk, married again. "Weli,
Aunt Sally, what did you do them"
we asked. "Nufing at all. lie
say to his udder wife dat he was
agwine to come home wild me, and
he would q come if he had dc
money" "Well, Aunt Sally, you
are now satisfied" eyes, bless de
Lord, Use satisfied now dat Use seen
de old country and de folks, and I'so
gwine to try to make some more
money to live on. I'se worked hard
all dis time to save money jest to go
back to old Virginny to see my peo-
pie. But my boy-I'Sc never seen
him yit. Dey say lie went to Or

Yesterday il was officially announced
that the club Of leather Founders known
as the Memphis Reds had been dis
banded by the stockholders, who had
sunk between two and three thousand
dollars in the speculation by fitting up
Central Park and employing a p%rofes-
Sional nine to entertain the natives. The
Northern tour Of the Reds was q failure
from a pecuniary standpoint, aud hence
1t the Objectionable Sunday games could
not be sustained the game of baseball
would not pay expenses. The nine Reds
received good wages, averaging one hun.
dred dollars per month. The expenses,
one thousand dollars per month or over,
amount to something when half a dozen
stockholders have to pay the pro rata Of
losses out Of their private purses. An
effort was made to get up two hundred
subscribers at ten dollars each for the
remainder of the season. This would
have realized a fund Of two thousand
dollars, bat it failed, not more than thirty
subscribers being secured.
Memphis is an out,ofthe way place for
baseball clubs to visit, and all Northern
clubs demanded a guarantee of so much
per game before they made any engage.
ment. The game of baseball has not
been successful financially this season at
any point. We see by the Louisville
Courier Journal that not long since not
more than three hundred spectators wit.
messed a game at that place between the
Louisvilles and Chicago League clubs.
and q day or two afterward about four
hundred witnessed another contest Of
equal interest and Importance. The
game is playing out with intelli
gent and business people, with a few ex
ceptions, and those who do attend il
force are the roughs, gamblers, ct il
