An IsrrInR NIInIster.

Rev. Alfred Thompson, of the
Free Methodist church Of Elgin,
ILL.,, was arrested In Jersey City last
evening for theft under rather pecu-
liar circumstances. Last spring Mr..
Thomson's parishioners gave him
permission to spend the summer in
Europe. He went to England,
where he was born, in June last, re-
manned there until the latter part of
August, when he sailed for home.
On the steamer was female named
Mrs. Gotham, married but separa-
ted from her husband. On the pas
sage Mr.. Thompson and she had
frequent opportunities for discus
sing religion and other matters, aud
the result was that they became
very intimate-so intimate, in fact,
that on the arrival OF the steamer
at New York, they went to q small
hotel on West street, and there took
up their abode ks man and wife.
There they resided together until
yesterday, when Mr.. Thompson's
eyes were opened to the sinfulness
of the life he was leading, and in
his repentant mood he revealed to
Mrs. Gotham the fact that he had q
wife and two children in Chicago.
Then he disappeared, leaving Mrs.
Gotham undoubted evidence of the
sincerity OF his repentance and an
abiding interest in her welfare in
the fact that he took with him IL
sovereigns, q valuable gold watch,
and some $500 worth of jewelry be-
longing to her. When Mrs. Cob
ham became convinced that Rev.
Alfred Thompson had departed, she
went to Jersey City and placed the
matter in the hands of Detective
Francis, who, with officer Bowe,
subsequently found Thompson at the
Office OF John Lamb, corner of Ex-
change Place and Hudson street, eff
fecting the exchange of q second for
Q first class ticket for Chicago. He
made no attenpt to deny his identi-
ty nor to conceal the property,
which he said he came honestly by,
as Mrs. Gotham had made him a
present of it all. He was locked up
at the First Precinct Police Station,
and this morning will be sent to
New York for examination.

1t is a remarkable and, in some as
pects, creditable pecuIiarity ia
Frenchmen, that although English
and American men are IN the habit
of regarding them as a peculiarly
sensual race, they are, in fact, far
more attracted to women by intel
lectual qualities than are the Anglo
Saxons. 1t is wit, vivacity, esprit,
and the charm Of manner, rather
than q lovely complexion and fine
eyes, which exercise the most po-
tent spell upon young France. This
helps to explain how Ninon de
pEucIos fascinated the grandson of
her first adorer; and another illus
tration Is afforded by the case of
NJ. de la Roche and the widow
Gras, which has been of late the
theme of all Paris. She was eight
cen years older than her lover.
Prof. Philbrick, Superintendent
of the public schools of Boston, in
his semi-annual report just issued,
deprecates very strongly the Gus
tom of bringing forward little chill
dren from the primary schools to
speak and sing ct grammar school
exhibitions. He supposes the idea
IL borrowed from the Sunday
school anniversaries, and claims
that in both instances, in the inter-
eat of religion, morals, and sound
education, the practice should be
at once suppressed,
A woodman in Austin, New, has
named his team of eigGt oxen after

them like this, except that he also
uses profanity; "Gee, there, John
Lyons; who's, DIR. Sheridan, Won
blamed lazy beast haw, there, Col.
Price, or I'll break every bone in
your darned lazy body; git up,

minister with the butt of the whip,
and throws stone at the bank
president.
Mr.. Watts, the authorized dog
catcher of Boston, uses for the de-
struction of unclaimed dogs q most
subtle poison, recommended by the
Society for the prevention of Cru
city to Animals, and which he is
forbidden to make public, through
fear OF its use for suicidal purposes.
A half teaspoonful of the powder
is put in the dogs mouth, and al
most instantly the body sWells and
life is extinguished.
A Cincinnati liquor dealer ap

One of the most illustrious

One of the most illustrious
passengers recently carried by
steamer to Europe was the young
white whale which has been the
object of such interest at the
Coney Island Aquarium the past
summer. He was taken from his
tank, placed in a box with a soft
bed of sea-weed, and removed to
Hoboken, The box was holsted
on board the steamer, aud placed
in the forward deck. During the
voyage the whale will have to live
on the memory of past gormandiz-
Ing, as there is no way of feeding
him on board. He travels in
state, being attended by several
servants, whose only duty it is to
see that he is kept moist. His
destination, should he survive the
voyage, is Southampton, where he
will pass into the hands of Mr..
Barnum, and will doubtless be
transferred either to the Brighton
or the Westminster Aquarium.
