Robbery Extraordinary.

The grand parade OF the Knights of
Pythias on last Tuesday was the cause
Of q large q bber Of crooks visiting the
yily, ana, II reports be true, they did
get in their work most charmingly on
that day, and all kinds of thefts have
been reported to the police. But last
night case was reported which hap
pened on that day which will prove in
teressing to the readers of the Sentinel,
as it is kind Of stealing that has never
been INDUCED in before by the light
fingered gentry who have visited this
city.
The facts Of this robbery are about
these. Rudolph Mueller, grocery
keeper at No 172 South Illinois street,
has most beautiful daughter about z
years of age. She has, or rather had !,
= lovely head Of hair, of light golden
color, measuring some thirty inches in
length. On last Tuesday afternoon
the child, in company with several OF
her playmates, went to the corner OF
Illinois aud Washington streets to wit
ness the parade. While there she felt
some one handling her hair, which had
been neatly arranged by her mother,
/ but as it was an everyday occurrence
for strangers to examine it, she paid nc
attention {, the forwardness Of the
stranger until sze felt the click of 6
pair Of scissors, and turning around she
saw man disappear in the crowd witt
her hair, v hich he had cut close to tbs
head. The little creature ran home cry
ling. and informed her parents of whA
had happened, but nothing Of the dast
ardly coward who robbed the child o
her beautiful tresses has yet been heard
tits good thing for him that the en-
ragged father has not seen him.

clares that any one who examines ths

your boyhood, the same notes. the

poses, the identical birds endowed with
perennial youth. The swallows, that
baild so far out Of your reach beneath
the caves Of your fathers barn, the
same one nov squeak and chatter be-
neAth the caves Of your barn. The
warblers and shy wood birds you pur-
sued with such glee ever so many sum
mers ago, and whose names you taught
20 some beloved youth. who now, per
chance, sleeps amid his native hills, no
marks Of time or change cling 10 them
and when you walk ont TO the strange
woods there they are, mocklng you
With their ever renewed and 'yous
youth. The call Of the high-holes, the
whistle Of the quail. the strong, pierc'

. number of minutes. The most pow.
erful sailors on board tried in vain 70
initiate him. Ne. Lincoln said he
could do this when he was eighteen
years Of age, and had never seen day
since when he could not. II occurred
70 me. when reading the details Of the
plot which terminated in che death Of
the president, that his abduction, which
was at one time proposed by the con-
spirators, would have resulted very dis.
astrously to those who should have the
temerity 70 undertake Il. The plan
