Tho case against the Hoymans,
IN Chester, for the alleged stealing
Of ono thousand and fifty dollars
from tho trunk Of q clerk in Mr..
Heyman's store, amounted to

no bill-a complete vindication Of
tho accused.

name suggestive of a dark page in
the history of the imperial family
of Russia. Many of the Chron-
icle's readers will yet remember the
somewhat romantic story of the
marriage Of the Gar Nicholas IA
vOrite daughter to a dashing young
German officer. The Duke Of
Leuchtenberg was good-looking but
comparatively poor and obscure,
and it is said that the wayward
princess made the first advance,
and even that the stern emperor
consented to the marriage only to
avoid scandal. At any rate, ro-
nance and royalty do not seem to
agree well, and the union turned
out badly. The Duchess tired of
her former idol, gay and dashing,
but at the same time scholarly and
thOurOngly honorable, German, and
began to form liasons, the most
notorious of which was with Count
Strogonoff. After a life of morti-
fed seclusion and constant study
the duke died, refusing to recog-
nize on his death-bed the last two
children borne by the princess.
Immediately after his demise the
latter was forced to marry Strogo-
noff, and was banished from Rus
sia. She took up her abode in
Paris, where she died a few years
age. The children of this union
have been somewhat under a cloud,
and several matches proposed for
the very accomplished daughter
were broken off for some unex-
planned reasons. The eldest SON
the young Duke of Ieuchtenberg
has now joined the army of the
Danube, and may accomplish some-
thing in the field that will place a
renewed luster around his wronged
fathers name, and bridge the gulf
that separated him and his sister
from the remainder of his family.

Darwin and His Family.

Mr.. Darwin, says the London
Truth, has, during his whole life,
been in easy Circumstances, above toll
of earning an income. Unlike
many philosophers, he has not had
the modification of spending his
best hours in the drudgery Of Off
cial routine or the hardly less wear
ing task of teaching. He has been
enabled to devote his entire time to
his lavorite pursuits, and since his
marriage to his cousin, Miss Emma
Wedgwood, has resided at Down,
amid the rich and varied scenery
of one of the prettiest parts Of
Kent. AS his numerous family has
grown up around him he has been
relieved Of all the cares which dis
tract the scientific worker in the
heat and turmoil Of active life. He
leads truly calm and philosophic
existence, unvexed by the contem-
plation of weekly bills and the
singing of checks. In his wife and
family he is especially happy, being
spared the pain of degenerate off
spring. His eldest son, Mr.. William
Darwin, is a banker at Southamp-
ton; the second, George, took high
honors at Cambridge, and is now
fellow of Trinity; the third, Frank,
who has inherited his fathers i'll
health, acts as his secretary; the
fourth, Leonard, is an officer in the
artillery, and distinguished himself
as one of the scientific corps sent to
observe the transit of Venus; the
fifth, Horace, is an excellent mathe-
matician. One married and one
unmarried daughter complete a
family whose constant care is to
relieve its head of all possible care
and anxiety.

A TIn.CIad Catfish.

A boy while fishing in Lake
Butts des Morte the other day felt
a nibble, and, drawing the hook to-
ward the shore, observed a half
gallon fruit-can trailing on the bot
tom. Having secured the vessel, he
was greatly surprised to find that a
large catfish had taken up its abode
therein and remained until his in
creased dimensions did not admit
Of egress. He had evidently Topped
around in his tin parlor until hole
was made in the rust-eaten bottom
through which his tail protruded.
In this position the catfish had
power to navigate from one place to
another, and must have been re-
garded ty his acquarian neighbors
as a kind Of iron-clad monitor.

A very heart-rending story comes
from Nantes, twenty,nine miles
northwest of Paris. Victorine
Voisin, a young girl of nineteen,
was last May elected Rosiere, or
the most virtuous girl of the place,
and was engaged to be married on
the 14th of this month ; but, mean
while some miscreant spread re-
ports injurious to her character,
and even wrote an anonymous let
ter containing these charges to her
lover. He sent her brother to speak
to her about these statements, and
the latter, after long conversation,
during which the poor girl grew
terribly excited, showed her the
letter. She read it, burst from him,
and plunged into the Seine. A
pos-tmortem examination, conduct
ed in the presence of the municipal
authorities, proved that there was
not a shadow Of foundation for the
vile scandals.

what is n Registered letter.

ONO state Journal.I
The question is very often asked,
what is the difference between a
registered letter and any other /?
The difference is that a registered
letter does not 60 in through the
mail proper. 1t passes from hand
to hand outside the mail pouches,
every person through whose hands
it passes being required to sign a
receipt for it on receiving it, and
secure a receipt for it on passing it
over to the next in transit. The
person holding the last receipt is
thus always able to show who is ac-
countable for the loss. The re-
sponsibility rests upon the man who
has signed a receipt for the regis
tered package and who is not able
to produce the package or a receipt
from somebody else for it. The
safest way to send money is by
money order. Where it does not
60 to a money order office it should
always be sent in a registered pack
age. Money ought not to be sent
in an ordinary letter under any
circumstances. There is no posi-
bic way of " tracking" such a letter.
