MORE wYSTEFEOUS gEsAS THE
CHARLIE ROSS CASE.

The mysterious Charley Ross case, which
has filed the papers OF this country ever
since the disappearance Of the boy, Is not
more unfathomabie than the uncertainty
which surrounds the instance of the failure
10 find any trace OF the whereabouts OF
Judge ". /. Mayo, who lett this city OF
the afternoon of the 18th OF January, TO
attend meeting Of bank directors at
Oiney, Illinois. The two cases are similar,
and yet dissimilar. Charley Ross was
young lad, probably not known outside the
circle OF his fathers intimate acquaint-
ances; he was stolen while playing in
comparatively unfrequented street OF
Germantown, and under cIrcum-
stances not calculated 10 ex-
cite immediate suspicion; thousands OF
Young lads in Germantown, and the neigh
boring city OF Philadelphia probably bore
some resemblance TO him, rendering his
identity difficult his appearance could be
changed easily so as 10 prevent recognition
and in a short time he could have been
taught to forget that he ever resided IN the
town from which he was stolen and eyer
had parents by the name Of Ross. But IN
the case Of Judge Mayo, it is vastly differ
ent. lie was well known in Eastein Mis-
souri, and throughout the State Of Illinois,
especially in the section where he dlsaP,
peared he had neither occentricitles noi
peculiarities which would induce
him to remain so long away
from his family and friends without
notifying them OF his whereabouts; he wa
an unusually steady and sensible man
noted for his strict attention TO business
even in its smallest details, and one Wit
never slighted an engagement, howeve
trivial; pever used liquor and was not sus
pected of being in any way deranged; wa
cool, clear headed and cautious, and yet h
disappears from sight at an early hour Ii
the evening, from railroad train full Q
passengers and in 4 city surrounded b
thousands who were personally acquainte'
with him. 1t is supposed he got o.
the cars at the Relay depot at East 5
Louis, as no trace OF hlr
has been discovered from tina
point, aud yet the most searching investiga
lions of the shrewdest and keenest detective
in the West have failed TO develop sing!
suspicious circumstance which occurred
or succeeding that date. There is not
single clue upon which to work.
The mystery is complete, and the Prob'
biIities seem 70 be that it will remain vi
iathomed, although there are thousands l
this city and state who join with the famil
and friends throughout the country in tn
hope that the persistent search now bein
made Will develop facts leading to his re-
toration TO his loved ones, or at least solV
the riddle of his fate

SOMEWHAT UNEASY,

Some uneasiness has been caused Of late
in England by the discovery, on the part ol
the Indian government. that there has been
an abnormal demand tor arms and ammuni.
tion among the native population for some
time past, and that very large quantities oi
weapons have been imported and absorbed
in this way. The Indian government thinks
the matter 20 serious that it is discussing
the propriety of disarming the natives, and
it is the more inclined to take this step be-
cause symptoms Of disafIection have ap-
peared recently among several of the feuda.
