laws of England, that she should
send an additional sum of $4,000.
This rapacity wrecked the pro-
iect. Unable to secure the money
from the local banker, she consult
ed her legal adviser in Paris, who
was not long in finding out that his
client was the victim of a gigantic
fraud. The case was brought to
the knowledge of the English au-
thorities, and after MANY months
the guilty ones were arrested, and
the following facts elected: One of
the prisoners induced a printer in
Edinburgh whom he knew to set up
and print 500 copies of one number
of newspaper called the Sport. A
checkplate was also placed in his
hands, and at the request of anoth-
er one Of the prisoners, 1000 blank
checks, to be drawn on the nom
existent Royal Bank of London,
were struck off. Paper marked
with an imposing crest, a French
dictionary, sham checks, and the
copies of the Sport served as decoy
ducks. The prosecution were sue
cessGul in recovering almost all the
money, only about $4,000 escaping
them out Of the $64,000. Owing
to an omission on the part Of three
of the men to determine by what
names they should pass in Rotter-
dam, led to their detection and sub
sequent arrest; the other two were
soon after captured in Scotland.
The trial which followed, and
which was a long and bitterly
fought one, has just ended. The
prisoners had assumed many aliases,
with an eye evidently to the chance
of being indicted. Eventually,
however, all five of the prisoners
were found guilty. The presiding
Judge, recognizing a great dlstlnc-
ton in the degrees of guilt, SEN
fenced the chief of the gang tC
penal servitude for fifteen years
three Of the Others received terms
Of ten years each the fifth, who
had little or nothing to do witt
the fraud, was sentenced to eighteer
months hard labor.

a certain extent; but from his re-
marks it would appear as though
the white man was the least friendly
of the two. What would be most
needed, said he, after having settled
the Indians and made Of them an ag-
ricultural community, would be to
place a strong guard over them
and protect them. They have jeal-
ousies and little enmities between
the tribes or bands, but nothing of
a serious nature, and for people
living in complete idleness they are
remarkably peaceful. The general
was not informed as to what the
government meant to do in the way
Of change, but it might be that the
policy which had been found SO
successful in the Indian Territory
would be followed among the In
dians of the Northwest. There is
nothing at all, said he, to prevent
the Indians from being made an
orderly community, and one per.
fectly self-sustaining.

RetentIveness of Memory.

That Macaulay knew Paradise
Lost by heart we have all heard
long since. But Mr.. Hayward,
whose repertory Of anecdotes is in.
exhaustible, gives us a fresh story
about it. One evening at Edin-
burgh there was bet of a copy of
Paradise Lost between Macaulay
and Jeffrey as to a certain line Of
that poem. The next morning
Macaulay came with a handsome
bound volume. "There," he said,
"is your book; | have lost; but /
have read it through once more,
and | will now make you another
bet that / can repeat the whole
of it," Jeffrey took him at his
word, and put him on in passage
after passage without once finding
him at fault. This Lord Jeffrey
told to Mr.. Hayward. 1t caps the
story of Sir Robert Peel saying to
Macaulay that he believed he had
never fol igotten anything he wanted
to remember; to which Macaulay
retorted that he had never forgot
ten anything. But only the other
day / heard a man of the greatest
distinction declare that his memory
for words and names was extremely
treacherous; that he was a greaI
reader Of poetry, but could not re

Washington Cor. Troy Times.
The visit of Alexis has caused
the gossips to revive stories about
the mischief which Oatacazy made,
and particularly his quarrel which
is said to have led to the recall of
poor old Baron Gerolt, the Prussian
minister, who had served the inte-
rests Of his government here for
thirty years. He received his ap-
pointment originally through the
influence of Baron Won Humboldt.
One of the saddest romances of
Washington is connected with his
retirement. The Gerolts were
Catholics, and the children were
brought up in the Georgetown con-
vent, under the most careful watch.
fulness of the sisters. Bertha, who
must now be about thirty years Of
age, the youngest daughter of the
baron, at twenty was very beautiful
and fell ip love with her fatherB
secretary of legation, a dashind,
handsome young Prussian officer,
distantly related TO Bismarck. The
secretary belonged to one of the old
Protestant families of North Ger
many, which was strongly opposed
to any alliances with Catholics.
The succession of this young officer
to his fathers large estates was con-
ditional upon his remaining faith
full to the ancient Lutheran faith.
The love match was a very despe-
rate one, and was favored by Baron
Gerolt. The latter was so eager to
remove all difficulties that he ap-
piled to Rome for an indulgence to
allow his daughter to marry a Prot
estant. The pope refused, because
the condition was that the children
should be reared as Protestants. But
the family Of the young man in
Prussia were entirely opposed to
the marriage, and succeeded in hav-
ing him recalled. The beautiful
young Bertha was entirely irrecon-
cilable, retired to the convent, and
last fall, after having been many
years there, and having passed
through the intermediary stages,
finally took the white veil, which,
according to the ceremonies of her
faith, is to forever separate her from
the ewes of the world and of man.

He Refuses 10 Either COmmunicnte
wtlh or Receive Letters from His
Family.
New York World, 5th.l
The statement was lately printed
by one of the morning journals that
ex-mayor Hall was in communica-
ton with his family in this city,
who were, it alleges, aware Of his
intended departure. 1t was also
stated that the family residence in
Forty-second street is for sale, and
that the family is about to join Mr.
Hall in Europe, in accordance with
arrangements made by him prior
to his departure. Mr.. i. j. Jen-
nings, the London correspondent
Of the World, has in his published
letters already pronounced this last
story to be absolutely untrue, and
Mr.. Halls family say that it is as
malicious as it is false. They posi-
lively assert that Mr.. Hall has
neither communicated with his
family nor any Of his friends since
his departure, in any manner what
ever, and a private letter from Mr..
Jennings to a friend of the ex-mayor
SAYS that the letters which were for
warded to him by Mr.. Halls friends
in this city be had rendered to Mr..
Hall, but that Mr.. Hall had refused
to receive them or to see any of the
American newspapers.
The family and friends of Mr..
Hall now say that they have given
up the expectation of hearing from
him, and that they have no reason
to suppose he will alter his pur-
pose to maintain perfect silence
for the present at any rate.
Mr.. Halls offices in the Tribune
building were leased by him for O
term of years, and will be sub-let,
and his law library, which is very
extensive, was removed from them
on Monday. After being properly
catalogued the books will be sold al
public auction. The elaborate car
pets, furniture, fine pictures and
fittings of the office will also be
offered for sale, but the general
library will be retained by his fam.
lily as it contains many books which
are highly priced by them. They
will, for the present, remain il
their own home. Mrs. Halls for

An Extraordinary Turf swlndIe.

Some time ago the Countess de
Goncourt, a wealthy lady living in
the vicinity of Paris, received a
letter, accompanied by an English
newspaper and a circular. The cir
cular contained a French transla-
tion of an article in the Sport which
told of the wonderful success
achieved by Mr.'Hugh Montgom-
cry, the inventor of a new mode of
betting, 1t had brought him a
handsome fortune, which he was
spending in works of charity, etc.
The promises and invitation in the
circular were too attractive for the
Countess, and she sent to Mr..
Montgomery letter intimating her
wish to take part in some sort of a
speculation, and inclosing a check
for one thousand dollars. 1t seemed
for a time that she had found a
veritable bonanza, for she received
various checks of amounts varying
from $4,000 to $4,000, drawn on
the Royal Bank of London, by
"George Simpson" The success
blinded her to the marks of fraud,
and encouraged her to make fresh
remittances, and ultimately $4,000
was sent by her ladyship to be in
vested upon a horse that was to run
in the Ayrshire handicap. Accord
ing to instructions the money was
forwarded 10 fellow named T,
Ellerton, who was referred to as a
"swern book-maker," The horse
upon which she betted was certain
to win millions of francs; but the
/ Countess was told that in order tC
gain all this, in fact to retain the
sum already invested, it was abso
lutely essential, according to thu
