The inhabitants of certain little town
were much annoyed by the unceasing depred-

police sought, 10 vain their chief fumed, every
night discovered some new theft. Suddenly u
new idea had birth beneath the dignlied pig

each should write on q slip Of paper the
name of the person he Or she most suspected.

Justice is not always even-handed nor In
fallible. A young man named Clement AL
phonse Maillarde, of New York. was about tt
return from Paris to his home. When already
on board the boat he was arrested, charged
with stealing some money. This was o.

Paris after having been kept eleven days q
the depot and two days under arrest. He was
no sooner confronted with his accusers thai
his innocence was acknowledged. The mis-
take came from his bearing the same name as
the actual thief. Even then he was only
given his liberty two days alter. For al re

iarde the following certificate: -.

born at Thoiry (Seine-et-Oise), was arrested

That, brought to Paris, he was Immediately

his return to Havre, whence he will embarl
