The Great Bean Robbery.
Boston, July l3.-In the last two or tbre
months dealers in vanilla beans in New YorI
city have been greatly excited because of th
many robberies of that article that bav
taken ~place-in one instance TO the exten
OF $4,000. On the 10th instant, James p
hyde, OF No. 60 William street, New York
was robbed of one hundred pounds of va
Mia beans, valued at 81 200. Detective Off
GERS to~day arrested at the Parker Hous,
Charies Nj; Jobson and John Shoester, anG
tound in their room IA trunk containing $500

There is something e~minently fit in
the discovery in Boston of the great
bean theft. Possibly, the metropolitan
reader, who scans this article as he rides
downtown to-day, never heard of the
great bean robbery. No more should
we if 1t had net been for a Boston tele.
gram, which informs us that New York
CITY dealers " have been greatly excited
because of the many robberies of that
article which have taken place in this
city. 1t appears that the b~ean-dealers
OF this city have been robbed, to use a
familiar expression, right and left dur
ing a ~twelvemonth past, by certain evil
disposed persons who have stolen their
beans, and have taken them to Boston
to sell to the unsuspecting inhabitants
OF that village. Nevertheless, on the
authority of Boston, it is said
That the dealers in beans who supply New
York have been excited by the continu-
Gus thefts of the bean which cheers and
does not inebriate. tits even said that, in
one instance, the esculent and farinace-
Gus bean has been distracted from New
York in amounts equal in value to $lO.-
oGO. These acquisitions were promptly
taken to Boston as the only legitimate
market for that article of diet. 1t is
well known that when the Pilgrim Fa.
theirs landed on Plymouth Rock they
ordained that the bean of
be the only diet of the Evangeli-
cal Church on Sunday. In his admirable
9ssay on the faith delivered to the saints,
lotion Mathcr says that this decree was
o%undedon st. Paul's admonition to Tim.
)thy, and that beans have a certain
'ayjng grace which commend them
o the fellowship of the churches
which defend the observance of a
which begins at sun-
Town on Saturday, when the oven is
ioscd with sunday provision, and ends
Vlth sunday when the sun is set, and the
ocular week has begun. The great
'ean THEFT was not discovered in New
ork. According to the Boston tele-
ram, this city was greatly excited "
BECAUSE OF the many robberies of that
which had occurred. In one
Instance, it is averred, 100 pounds of
cans, valued at 81, 200, had been stolen ,
nj conveyed (naturally) to Boston, ,

ants had encouraged the importation of
cans. In this instance they were of
vanilla variety. No matter: Boston .

is evident that the perpetrators of sa
