PoUGuKEEpslE, N. Y, April A desper.
ate fight occurred with car thieves on the
Hudson River Railroad, at Cold Spring
this morning, resulting, after stout re-
sistance in the capture of the most desper.
ate character known to the New York po-
lice, and the leader of gang of cut-throats
and thieves, who have their headquarters
and rendezvous on Tenth avenue, New
York, and are known as the Tenth avenue
Gang"
For years this gang has been the terror OF
the Hudson River Railroad authorities, and
of the summer residents on the Hudson as
far north as Cold Spring. They are i'll fact
highwaymen and brigands, and they do moi
hesitate to kill if necessary to carry out
their plans. The Desperate captured thi.
morning is none other than Harmon Lit
tendorff, alias Dutch Harmon, whose very
name indicates robbery, theft and possibly
murder,

Cust0m-hOuse Salaries.
Collector Fulton, of Philadelphia, in a
letter to the Secretary of the Treasury asks
that the salary of three of his clerks be
raised 5000 per annum on the ground that
they perform important duties, and that
clerks of the same class in the Baltimore
Custom-house receive 5000 more than the
Philadelphia clerks The Secretary in re-
ply states that on account of the great fall
ing off in revenues he can not consent to an
increase of salaries, and if there exists such
difference in the salaries of the Baltimore
and Philadelphia clerks, as stated by Mr..
Fulton, he will equalize them by reduc-
ton at Baltimore.

tea out West again, and finally found
himself IN Louisiana, where he undertook
farming, but was drowned out-his part
ner losing his life. He sold his farm for
5000 and, with the proceeds, returned to
New York. This time he tried the no.
tency of gold, and by the offer of $500 TO
the manager, he learned that the children
had been sent ont West, to Ottawa, Iowa.
where they had found homes with a man
by the name Of J. W. Carpenter This
place he visited, but without avail, and
despairing of ever seeing his children
again, he went to St. Louis.
In that city he was relating his life his
tory to some Of his German friends, when
some of them suggested the idea that as
the names We're somewhat similar, Ottum-
wa, Ia, was meant. He Immediately
wrote to j. W. Carpenter, Ottawa, la. In
due time the mail brought him the good
news that his children were here and in
good health. As may be expected he
was not long on the way, and day or
two ago arrived in this city, where he
found his children, nearly grown occupy
ing good home with Mr.. and Mrs. Car
penter, to whom they have become great
~ endeared. Such is the story he tells
himself. The children will remain with
their foster parents, while Mr.. Miller will
probably make his home in this part of
the country.

Shepherds in Judea

Shortly after leaving the city we met
several tloclls of sheep, preceded by their
shepherds, walking slowly towards
Jerusalem, and at once the full force of
all the beautiful imagery, and the many
touching SMILES derived from such scenes
and associations, and SO often alluded to
in Scripture, came wildly before me.
These Arab shepherds, clad IN the turbans
and simple appass worn by their class,
and earring wooden crook in their
hands, walked in front. The sheep, which
are peculiar and very handsome breed,
are mostly low sized; the fore parts OF
their bodies of a fawn color the hinder
parts white: they have long, pendent,
silken ears and sweeping tails; their faces
more oval and longer than the species in
these countries, and they have altogether
more pleasing, docile and mild express
ion of countenance. Not one of them
ventured before the sheperd, but stopped
or quickened their pace as he did or if a
young and forward creature Jagged be-
hind, or strayed to either sides, a single
word from their leader, often very look,
brought it back and checked its wander
| ings. A few favorite lambs frisked about
their master, rubbing them selves against
his legs and garments.
| After the sheep came some young goats
and lambs, and the whole procession
closed with about two dozen of old pat
riarchal-looking goats, which brought W
the rear. These goats have long horns
and pendent ears, that hang almost to tho
| ground, and their hair is glossy black
and of the finest grain; the sheep and
goats were perfectly distinct. These
shepherds are often to be seen about SUI
set slowly approaching the city from all
sides, to seek shelter for their flocks dur
ing the night, in some OF the deep valleys
by which tits surrounded, carving the
the lambs in their bosoms.
1t is almost incredible, the influence
that the shepherds of Palestine possess
over their tlocks; many of them have nc
! dogs but word is often sufficient to
make them understand and obey the viii
Of their shepherd. He sleeps among then
at night, and in the morning leads then

Catching Cold

One chief danger from colds is the ex-
hausted state of the body that first occurs,
so it is not able to resist unfavorable in
fluences. People who are not very vigor-
Gus should avoid over-exertion and keep
the strength up to the highest point. 1t
will help those prone to a cold to sleep all
they can Another cause Of colds is eat
ing too heartily after days work, when
there are not forces enough to digest the
food and keep up the circulation. Eat
moderately at night if you would avoid
a cold. A cold in its early stages may be
broken up by hot footballs, warmth to
the body, especially a hot pack Or a hot
bath in the middle of the day, with mucn
friction and quiet in comfortable room.
It is not advisable to take hot bath at
night in such cases. When you have a
cold, don't eat much or work much I'M
less you have great physical strength.
when a hard days work may be a good
thing to equalize the circulation and re-
store the action to the skin, which always
suffers when one takes cold'-Herasa Of
