New Jersey will in the course of time ac-
quire distinguished reputation for child
marriages, and the precocious development
we read about in China and other parts of
Asia, where the maturity of girls is placed
at twelve years, will be rivaled here. Her.
man Keller on Thursday complained before
Justice Gerlich, of Union Hill, against Mrs.
Annie Humid, whom he charges with having
enticed his thirteen year old daughter from
her home. Keller says about five weeks
ago Mrs. Humid and the child Bertha asked
his permission for Bertha to accompany
Mrs. Humid to Tuckerton, this State. Kel-
ler refused permission, but the daughter
accompanied Mrs. Humid notwithstanding.
A few days ago Mrs. Humid returned to
Union Hill and said that the child Bertha
was married. Mrs. Humid admits that the
child accompanied her to Tuckerton, and
that she was married on the Goth of Decem-
ber to one Glen. She denies that she took
the child without her fathers consent, ad.
ding that the marriage was the result OF
love. The child told Justice Steelman, who
performed the marriage ceremony, that she
was seventeen.

A special agent of the United States
Treasury Department arrived at San Fran
cisco on Dec. 81, accompanied by seven
clerks and a detachment of eight soldiers
and bearing ,$2,OOO,0OO in greenbacks for
the Sub-Treasury. He was instructed to
return to Washington with $40, 900 of can
celed fractional currency. Experience has
shown that an exchange of currency for
silver in San Francisco results in its imme-
diate absorption by the Money brokers.
The consequence is that the Government
has prohibited all such exchanges in San
Francisco, and those who have greenbacks
ON hand must either pay the brokers'
charges there or go to the expense of send
ing their money to Washington, and pay
ing exchange for return drafts; while the
Government, on the other hand, has to
meet heavy express charges on the large
amount of silver which is sent to Washing

LOSS OF THE STEAMSHIP AMERIQUE.

The French steamship Amerique, from
Havre for New York, went ashore at Sea-
bright, about three O'Clock Sunday morn
ing. There were three cabin and fifty y-one
second and fourth class passengers, and 162
officers and crew, all of whom, with the ex-
ception of three of the crew were saved.
Soon after the ship struck the captain Or
dered small boat with crew composed of
Officer Bridlowing and eleven men, to con-
vey information ashore and obtain assist
ance. The steamer was then only seventy
yards from the beach. The boat struck
the beach, but the under-tow and the float
ing ice together, there being much Of the
later, upset the boat and three of the crew
were lost.
The steamer lies high and dry broad-side
on the beach. All the passengers except
one, who has broken leg caused by fall
on the steamer during gale, have been
removed. The Amerique had 100000 in
specie, which, with the baggage and pas
sengers, has gone to New York. The most
powerful steam tug with heavy anchors
and all kinds of appliance, has been secured,
and the steamer will be gotten off, if the
weather continues mild with the wiud of
shore.
The bodies of three seamen who were
drowned in landing were found at Station
No. 1, about mile south of the point OF
the Hook
Among the passengers were eight French
nuns bound for Illinois.
Most of the passengers are French emf
grants going to the Western States, prin-
oipally Illinois.

A case of great destitution is reported
from Bridgeport, in Gloucester county, New
Jersey, which came near resulting in the
death of woman named Woods, from cold
and starvation. Mrs. Woods, about a week
since, gave birth to child, and the nurse
remained with her until the beginning of
the year, when she left. Some three days
afterwards the neighbors noticed that no
one had been seen moving in the house; so,
on Wednesday night about ten O'Clock, a
lady went into the house and found Mrs.
Woods nearly dead. She procured aid, and
after hard work upon the poor woman, she
was finally restored to such condition that
she could speak, when she stated that after
the nurse left she was too i'll to take care of
herself, and as she had but insufficient bed
clothing and no fire, and could give no
alarm, she prepared to die. In the three
days in which she was alone the only food
which the woman was able to procure was
three crackers. The infant lived, but was
also in a feeble condition. The husband of
Mrs Woods is wood chopper, and is now
engaged in Maryland, near the coast, and
has been shut off from communication with
the main land by the ice, so that he knows
nothing of the condition of his wife, No
effort has been made TO inform him of the
facts. In the meantime, the woman is be-
ing cared for by the neighbors.

The official result for Governor in Maine
as declared by unanimous vote of the
Legislature is Conner, 75,s67; Talbot, CO.,
423; scattering, 534; Conner's majority over
Talbot, 15,444. In September. the day
after the election, Mr.. Blaine telegraphed
to Gov. Hayes and also The Tribune that
the Republican majority would probably
reach and possibly exceed $4,000, and at
once the whole Democratic press how!ed
out that the returns were Cooked" and
the figures arranged by Mr.. Blaine in order
to affect other States The absolute truth
is sometimes trif1e slow, but it is sure in
time to overtake even the Democratic edi-
tor when he resorts to wholesale lying Mr..
Blaine has sent dispatches about the Maine
elections for nearly score of years past,
and has in no instance Incorrectly stated
the result, or even once, in the excitement
of victory, Overrated it.

Cronin, Tilden's Oregon elector, was ex-
amined by the Senate Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections few days ago. He
told his story for the most part very frank
~. H. said that he would not have under
taken the job without being paid for it, and
that he received $1,000 in cash before leav-
ing Oregon for his Expenses" The mon
ey was given him by the chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, and this sum
and much more was pretty clearly traced
back to party headquarters in New York
Cronin's evidence has knocked the last
breath out of the Oregon conspiracy, as
nearly all the Democrats are now willing to
admit.

Another political campaign will soon
open. Both the parties in New Hampshire
are already marshaling their forces for the
struggle of next March, which, from pres
ent indications, will be one Of the most de-
term ined political contests that that State
has ever known. The fact that the three
Congressman from New Hampshire may
possibly determine the complexion of the
next National House of Representatives
will, in itself, be sufficient to stimulate both
parties to do their best to carry the State.

THE STOLEN TREASURY PACKAGE

Ever since the fact became known that
PACKAGE containing $1,000 had been
stolen either from the United States
Treasury or the Adams Express Company,
while i'll transit from Washington to Chi
cago, the officers of the Secret Service and
the detectives in the employ of the express
company have been diligently at work fer
reting out the case. On Saturday they
were rewarded by the return of eleven hun
dred dollars of the amount, and on Monday
at half-past two o'clock, the thief was ar
rested by Chief Brooks and his first assist
ant, Mr. Benson, of the Secret Service, in
the private Office of Mr.. Wyman, the Treas
urer. The name of the culprit is Ferdinand
S. Winslow, native of Denmark, but for
some time resident in this country. He
was president of the Scandinavian National
Bank of Chicago at the time that institution
failed, and was recommended to Gov
ernment appointment by Senators Logan
and Allison, Representative Farwell and
others equally distinguished. Winslow was
formerly in the First Auditors Office, from
whence he was transferred, about six
rested he had on his person 5000 of the
stolen money, which was easily identified
by the cashier, who had list Of the mum
bers of the bills, which were nearly all Of
the denomination of 800. When taken in
charge by the detectives he declined to
make any statement, or converse at all rsla-
tive to the theft. Shortly after his arrest
Winslow was lodged in Jail. He had a pre-
liminary hearing in the Police Court on
Tuesday morning. His arrest proved a
great relief to the old clerks of the cash
room, who have stood the test of long years
of service without incurring the slightest
suspicion of their honesty.
