A Rather Neat SWindle.

Yesterday morning a tall wcll-dreSsed
young nan called ut the Russell House
and inquired for Mr.. Edward II. Perry,
of Buffalo. He was shown to Mr.. Perry's
room, and introduced himself to that
gentleman rs being Il son Of James II.
Madison, cashier of the Manufacturers
and Traders Bank of Buffalo. He stated
that he was on his way home from Mani
tou Springs, Colorado, whittier he had
gone for the benefit Of his health, and
that while stoppinginthe city he hadbeen
robbed of n pockctbook containing $40.
He modestly added thatin consequence
of his sudden misfortune he felt himself
compelled to ask Mr.. Perry, whom he
knew by reputation and name, for the
loan Of $50 to enable him TO return
home. The young man, to show good
faith, you know, rendered Mr.. Perry II
solitaire diamond ring, which he said
no money III the world could buy, rs it
had been presented to him by his faith
or. He requested Mr.. Perry to hold
the ring as security until he returned
to Buffalo, when he would return the
money advanced.
The unhesitancy and familiarity with
which he spoke Of prominent business
men IN Buffalo, and the apparently I'M
affected righteousness of his manner,
conveyed the impression that the young
man was really the Buffalo bankers
son, and consequently Mr.. Perry adj
vanced the sun he required. With a
warm shake Of the hand the young
man, p%rofuse in his expression, of graft
tude, took his departure. The ring vas
paste.-DerOa Post.

LE0NAiNIE.
That Posthumons Poem Of Edgar 4
Poe--A Literary Fraud.
kokemo LInd.N Tribune.

n'N'"" NiHH-' iiihuhc'
The columns of tins paper are wit
nesses that we have attributed to Young
j. W. Riley, of Anderson, or rather of
Hancock county, talent beyond n of
his age and experience. We regret
sincerely to expose him ina piece of
fraud.
A few weeks ago after writing and re-
writing the poem, "Lconainie," initial
ing the style Of Poe, he conceived the
idea that if he could get it out upon the
world as Poe's production, and after.
ward establish himself rs the
author he would make n world
WIDE fame at one Jump. But
the effort to reach fame by such n de
ception shows that his talent is more
than overbalanced by his lack of moral
perception and mother Wit, Having
concocted his plans, he looked about
for an obscure paper IN which TO bring
out the poem, for the more obscure the
paper the less likely that fraud would
be suspected. Mr.. Riley put LEO
Mamie" into the hands of The Dispatch.
On Aug, ,, inst, they published it under
headlines and the most positive state
ments that they believed it written by
Poe. They pledged their honor to the
truth of all they said in regard to it.
After IT was out, under the direction
of Mr.. Riley, copies of The Dispatch
were g to all the leading newspapers,
magazines, and authors of the country.
The answer that vas returned just about
crushed Mr.. Riley. The Dispatch did
not seem aware Of its misery, but actu-
ally paraded the criticisms in its
columns, changing some Of thcin that
pronounced positively against the fraud,
so rs to make them read like quasi
Inducements. Those who saw the criti-
cisms must have noticed that every
body who had intelligence and discern
ment recognized the fraud, while Il few
inexperienced persons, who probably
never read Poe, waxed enthusiastic oven
the poem. Mr.. Riley himself wrote u
criticism IN which he admitted that
some of the lines were indeed Pocish.
But the worst part Of the story is yet
TO come. One of the eastern publishers
to whom the paper containing he poem
was addressed wrote the editors of The
Dispatch To send them the original manu-
script, saying they were familiar with
the lamented poets chirography, &c,
and they offered to pay all expenses,
and to faithfully return the same to
Kokomo. Here was n dilemma. The
Dispatch folks decided at once what they
would do. They sent the letter to An
derson, with request. There q very
old copy Of Ainsworth's Dictionary was
procured, and nm expert penman placed
the poem on the ily-lcaf in writing rs
near like Poe's as possible, a recent
number Of Scr1bner'S Monthly containing
a fac simih of the poets chirography.
Mr.. Riley carried that book to this city,
himself; on Friday Of last week, for the
purpose of having it forwarded east.

Iron ShIip-Buiiding in the United States.

The IdH-laH GdzeHe prints some in
formation touching the progress of iron
sh'p-building in the United States. Five
years ago England had a decided adj
vantage over North America with re-
spect to the cost Of ship-building. the
materials and the labor being much
cheaper. But a great change has taken
place in the meanwhile for the price Of
American iron has fallen nearly 80 per
cent. and the present rate is not much
above that of the principal European
markets, while copper Is now produced
in such quantities that it has becomcan
article of expectation. The price oflabor,
which Is the most important item in the
construction Of vessels being estimated
at 20 per cent. of the total cost Of n
steamer, has also been reduced by the
use Of machines which are not en-
ployed in England. The first iron YES
sci constructed in the United States was
built in 1868, and since then 251 ships
of various dimensions, with a total ton
mage of l97 500 tons and valued at from
twelve to fifteen millions sterling, have
been launched, this being an average Of
bi'pNib AIliltS 'NtiN N'dh iii'7' IStl'H
are very insignificant when placed be-
side those concerning the ship-building
on the Clyde but the United States re-
turns for the four last years show some
very remarkable results. Thus the ton
mage Of vessels constructed was 22i, 900
tons III 1872, 2G6, 200 tons in 1874, 30
600 tons Ill 1875, and 204,o0O tons III
1876. Upon the other hand, there has
been a rapid decrease in the number
Of screw-steamers built on the Clyde
since 1S73-from 1876 in that year to 113
in 1876, and to SO last year. There has
not been any decrease in the number of
paddle-wheel steamers, Of which 16
were built last year, against "A i'll 1872
and 10 III 1874; but in the United Stats,
the yard Of Mr.. Roach-one Of the
largest ship-builders in the country
has turned out 33 paddle-wheelstcamers
with a total tonnage of IS, $50 tons.

How to Avoid Strikes.

The Michigan Central railroad has
adjusted its wages table so as To reduce
almost to zero the liability to strikes.
In the salaries Of engineers continuity
and length Of service are factors having
material weight, and n direct money
reward is thus offered for faithfuIlness,
sobriety, and the skill which comes from
long experience. The new rates result
now in an average increase Of six per
cent, in wages which certainly will not
cause any rioting. This agreement by
the road-for IT practically amounts to
that-to make allowance for length Of
service is worth the attention of other
roads, not rs a help to avoid disastrous
strikes. but rs an induccment to contcn-
ted work in one position on the par. Of
the employees, and a stimulant to excel
lencc in that field Of labor boston Adj

WOMEN NorING IN UTAH.-The liberal
ladies of Utah will remember that they
are called upon to bestir themselves to-
morrow equally with their Mormon
sisters who support this blighting the
ocracv with servile and unintelligent
votes. They must not let their domes-
tic cares keep them away from the
polls. Carriages viii bc sent to every
precinct. and a few minutes service is
no great oblation to make to the cause
of progress and reform. The Mormon
sisters are drilled into voting as the
Bishop directs them, lobey council and
ask no questions.) Our sisters who en-
iov liberty of action will certainly not
be willing to stand still and lend no aid
to their struggling brothers.-Sot LIKE
