CONFESSION OF A FORGER.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Nov. "a
Daniel, Murphy, the agent here of the
Phoenix Life Insurance Company, of
Hartford, has been arrested for forg-
cry. He confessed the crime, and was
committed in default of surety for
trial. Murphy had 5000 receipts
printed fac SMILES of the genuine,
which he issued to the insurer when
. premium was paid, forging the
names of the Secretary and General
Agent. The genuine receipts he re-
turned to the Office of the company,
with statement that the party failed
to pay, when the policy would be can
celed. Murphy had issued forged
certificates enough to amount to
S3400, which he put into his own
pocket The fraud was discovered by
information from the office where the
bogus receipts were printed.

THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

Mr.. Benson, the Fifth street music
dealer, stood in the door of his store
couple of nights ago, when a dila-
pidated looking old colored man who
was shutting along the walk suddenly
halted and burst forth with ''Lor bress
yer, Massa Benson. Is dat you 2"
Pressing up eagerly, the negro thrust
ou his hand, and, failing to meet
with prompt recogniti pn, said plain
lively, "Wha, wha, Massa Benson,
don't ye know ole Joe % The name
recalled what the features didn't and
the music dealer recognized sold Joe

the war, but when the army pressed
forward to Vicksburg sold Joe" join
ed the innumerable caravan of con-
trabands, and from that day to this
Mr.. Benson had not seen him. Sit

IT is one of thousands. He followed
the army to Vicksburg and worked
Oh the Notifications. Then came the
era of the carpet-bagger, and the
simple minded old African told of his
experiences with the sharks who
drifted southwark to work on the
credulity of the enfranchised and en-
rich themselves. Robbed and plund-
cred by the crafty, Old Joe hankered
after "the good old times" and wan
dered through the country. He got
beyond the pale of the capet-bagger,
and stopping before place which
bore the Southern stamp, he was
thinking how hungry he was, when
the planter sitting on the porch call
ed out to him.
| "Hello, you'd-d black rascal,
what's the matter with you!"

the old negro, "dat was music to

nm srYcrrce

ED-THE MARSHAL CONFlDENr
OF SUCCESS.
The appointment Of John NJ. Dunn
as U. S. Marshal for Delaware has not
vet been reached in the Senate, other
appointments having been made previ-
Gus to his, and therefore. having the pre-
cedence for the Senate's consideration.
1t is expected, however, that Dunn's ap-
pointment will be reached within day
or two.
The statement made in certain quar-
ters that the Marshal knows that his APP
pointment will not be confirmed, and Is
preparing to withdraw, IS entirely un-
true. as the Marshal, on the contrary, is
confident of success, and has every rea-
son to believe that his appointment will
be confirmed without great opposition.
de expects to receive the votes of enough
Democratic Senators to overcome what
he may lose among the Republicans.
1t was also rumored that the President
intended to withdraw Dunn's name, and
send to the Senate the name of one OF
the other applicants. The President did
entertain this intention for awhile, but
he finally decided to take no backward
step, and stand or fall on his first appoint
ment.

One of the leading arguments against
che Temonetization of silver is that it
would vastly benefit the debtor class, ana
that the country should not legislate in
-hh interest of people who are ''hard up. "
Considering the fact that in this country
the majority rules, and that SO far as
known the debtor class is In the maiori-
ty, the argument referred to can have
hut little weight with the mass of the
people Good reasons may be found for
nou remonetizlng silver, but this is not
one of them,-PreSS.
The value of the real and, personal
property of Sortn Carolina aggregates
$l4s,5G1 ,556. These values for the past

ROME Nov. l9, 1S77.-Notwith-
standing his debilitated condition the
Pope gave audience to-day for q per-
|iod ofexactly six minutes. He rccei-
we'd FIVE priests, six laymen and eleven
ladies', most of the priests being
French. His Holiness was borne in
by four palfreniers and looked very
pale and weak.
HOW TPE pnNTIFF APPEARED.
During the six minutes the audi
ence lasted he never once moved his
legs, but he moved his hands fire.
quently and with apparent freedom.
The appearances he presented was
that of man on the very brink of
the grave, but who seems to retain
his mental facultiesto degree hardly
to be expected under the circumstan-
ce ). The pilgrims favored with an
audience looked on with reverential
awe, feeling that they had cast their
last look on Pho Mono alive.
THINKING OF FRANCE.
The Pontiff conversed in French
and spoke with an amount of effort
that was painfully evident. The few
words he spoke referred principally
to the political convulsion in France,
about which he evidently feels very
deeply. counselled prayers for peace,
SO that France might be spared the
horrors of ano ther revolution.
