The Umbrella Trick in Paris.

The thief of the period has begunto be-
take himself to new system Of warfare,
in which the defensive is largely com,
bined with the offensive art. A very
simple but effective stratagem has been
dong duty in the jewelers. shops in Paris
which has never before in its history been
so full of "knights of Industry The
new trick is most easily performed by a
person OF English appearance, inasmuch
as the us" of an umbrella is essential for
it; and, as every one knows, our country
men are never expected to abandon, even
under the clearest sky, a companion SO
familiar to them. The operator, provid-
ed with his umbrella, enters shop with
it in his hand, having pulled down the
silk covering, but not securely fastened
it, SO that its folds hang round the hand
lie in loose mass, forming sort of open
mouthed net. Into the net thus opened it
Is not difficult to jerk ring or two, or
even larger article. which will fall into
it without the slightest sound, and remain
safely ensconced there as long as may be
required, If the shopman should miss
the blJou thus distracted, he will, of
course, run after his customer, and
equally, as matter of course, the other
will protest his innocence. A search will
ensue, at the end of which, just as every
one IS beginning to be hopelessly bafied,
the owner Of the umbrella will be struck
by bright thought. and will himself
bring TO light the desired object, apollo
giving in the blandest way, and making
merry over a joke which was so nearly, as
he says, assuming a serious character.
The trick has been tried as usual once
too often, but it is dreadful to think what
successes it may have had throughout a
month which has been so exceptionally
favorable for the use of umbrellas in
Paris.

THEODOSIA BURR.
The Story OF Her Remarkable Life and
Tragic Death.


The beauty and accomplishments, as
we'll as the social position of Theodosia
Burr Aston, her eventful life and pre-
mature and tragic death, have thrown
around her name spell of romance and
sympathy which recent events have great
ly enhanced. After her marriage in New
York Gin January, 1901, at the age of
eighteen, she accompanied her husband
to South Carolina, where she resided for
several years interrupted by occasional
visits to the home of her father. Her last
VOYAGE commenced in December, 1912.
when with impaired health,a the request
of both her husband Cat this time the
Governor of South Carolina) and her ia
ther, she embarked from Charleston for
New York in a small pilot-boat vessel,
called the Patriot. From that day she
has never been heard from. By many it
was conjectured that the vessel had foun-
dered in gale Of wind at sea and all
had perished BY others it has been
stated that the vessel was captured by
pirates, and all on board murdered. Sim
liar statements have appeared in the pub
lie prints, and painful obscurity rests
upon the fate of this unfortunate and
lovely lady. But recent discovery has
been made in our State which dissipates
this obscurity and makes certain the
mode of her untimely end.
A few months ago the late Professor
Pool showed me an exquisite photograph
Of the original painting of Theodosia
Burr, now in possession of his brother.
DR.. w. G. Pool, who now resides near
Elizabeth City, oil which he gave the fol-
lowing account:
CDR. Pool is native and resident near
Elizabeth City, in Eastern North Caro-
lima. Some eight or ten years since he
visited, in his professional capacity, a
family near Cape Hatteras, and, although
they were in moderate Circumstances, he
observed hanging on the wall an exquisite
oil-painting of beautiful woman. On
inquiry he discovered that this had been

The Schoolhouse.

Yes, John, our district well may brag
On this new schoolhouse. / brag too
I'm for improvements. | don't lag
Behind when things want putting through.
But that old, battered, wooden shell
That stood on this spot fifty year,
I'd learned to know its face so well
That somehoW-John, it's mighty queer
But when you pulled the old house down.
The time this new one was begun
had to 60 to lower town;
/ couldn't stand to see it DONE
For there studied A, B, G,
Got licked and learned, by hook and crook
To read about the apple-tree
In Webster's old blue spelling book.
And, where that church stands, many morn
CTwas a field then)--a love sick fool
I stood behind shock of corn
To see the schoolma'am come to school.
Her cheeks, as she the cornfield crossed,
We're redder than the scruboak leaves;
Her eyes were brighter than the frost
That sparllled on the tassclled sheaves.
And in among the noisy throng
OF barefoot Youngsters she would CO.
And, as l watched her, I allowed
1t wasn't strange they loved her so.
But when, just at the schoolhouse door,
Each urchin claimed his kiss, ali! then
/ lOnged to go barefoot once more,
And read the spelling book again.
Sweet Lucy! How came it to pass
/ can't explain,-but any way,
I might as well have joined class,
For | hung round there half the day.
At noon I'd take her nuts, pear,
Or apples,-my best grated fruit
To trade for smiles, she traded fair,
And gave me nanny thanks to boot
And sometimes, after study hours,
When Lucy led her merry throng
Into the woods for late wildhowers
And autumn leaves I'd 90 along.
She had some dozen boys, half grown,
That loved her well. They shamed me
though,
For loved too, and alone
Had not the pluck to tell her so.
"You happy boysp' I thought, "you swap
WlldfioWers for kisses from her lips;
I'd harvest the whole flower crop
10 kiss her very tinger-tips."
But winter came, and when the ground
And the big hills with snow were white,
I'd hitch my colt up and go round
10 take her home from school at night
One frosty evening, riding slow
through Johnson's woods her rosy cheek
Lay close to mine and thrilled me SO
That determined would speak.
Lucy" I said, "dear Lucyn'-Herc
Her eyes met mine and hustered me
AS awkward as ayearling steer
backed and tried again. "You see
II want to ask you'-a big lump
Came in my throat-'Whoa, Bill. you fool!
That's nothing but hemlock stumpl
f-ifyou love-the boys in SCHOOL,
'Twant what l meant; but, any way,
She dropped her eyes, and could see
She guessed what had tried to say.
She said, "Of course. They all love me-,
Foldened by this, her hand pressed,
And cried, "Dear Lucy couldn't YOU
Love me little with the rest?
For II love the schoolmaam too.''
See, yonder comes my schoolma'am wife;
Her cheeks are fresh and rosy vet;
And, for our happy married life,
We bless this spot where we first met.

Why mourn w that our aged friend Is tcads

Nor when their mellow fruit the orchards cast
Nor when the yellow woods lot fall the ripened

Serenely to his lnat rest has passed;

And am glad that he has lived thus long,
And glad that he mas gone 10 his reward;

BREEN HELD TO ANSWER /.

Chief of Police Breen, of Virginia
City, has been held to answer before
the Grand Jury in the sum of $4,000,
upon charge of changing prisoners,
and permitting All Chouey, who was
arrested for the murder of one of his
countrymen, to escape. 1t is believed
this kind of game is frequently play
ed by Chinese in the la ge cities, with
the consent of officers, who are well
paid for shutting their eyes while the
change is being made. 1t is difficult
for white man, who is not Well ac-
Quainted with Chinamen. to distinguish
them from each other. as they all dress
very nearly alike, aud. by substituting
an innocent one for the guilty party,
both escape punishment. The prosecu-
ton of Breen may tend to suppress the
business of exchanging Chinese prison
ers. and futhering the cause of justice
