Lucius W. Pond. Worcester's highly re-
spectacle forger, is still in the Concord prison.
with several years yet to serve. J. s. Pond,
also forger, on being released from the same
prison, went to the Boston Herald Office, rep
resented himself to be Lucius w. Pond, said
that he had been pardoned, showed documents
proving that he was Pond and forger, and
requested the publication of an interview. The
deception was successful, and all Worcester
was excited by the supposed liberation Of It's
noted criminal; but the motive OF j. s. Pond is
not explained.

Nine. Patti is staying at the Hotel
Bedford, in the Rue de PArcade. She
comes from her retreat in Wales. Sae
crossed the Channel last Saturday, and
the sea, by way of showing attention to
the diva, became suddenly calm on the
occasion. 1t is now six years since she
has been at Paris, except as passing
visitor The Parisians therefore, are
very anxious to know whether she has
changed or not since they last saw her.
No! She is the same. The hardness of
her mouth has, perhaps, become little
more marked, and her chin indicates
more self-will than ever. The charm
of her smile and expression remains as
winning as ever.
La Patti is very anxious about the re-
ception that the Parisians will give her.
The noble faubourg, she says, is still
sapped by the old prejudices against ar
lists. Her situation has become very del
icate, and she has to stand on the defen-
sive. She thinks that she has been spied
and surveillee ever since her arrival bv
the family of the Marquis of Caux. In
signing treaty with M. Merelli she
burned her ships. She is waiting for the
result. She seems to count on success
disarming the wrath of certain persons.
Miracles might take place. Enin-wen,
we can not say any more, unless it be
that Patti feels that she misses Paris, and
that Paris misses her. Let us hope that
it will not be for long. Patti is now
36 years of age, as is proved by the bap-
tismal certificate published by the Figaro

Curious Story About an Old Picture.
Augusta (Me,) Journal

After the death of the late Silas Leon
ard, ESQ.,, his personal effects which were
not divided among his heirs were sold at
auction by the veteran auctioneer. Geo.
w. Jones' Among the rest, a dilapidat-
ed picture was put up, but received no
bid. Mr.. Jones said to the clerk, "Put
it down to me for 81 50." He put it on
his shelf among other traps in his store,
and it lay there six months, when two
wel-dressed and well-appearing gentle
men came in to purchase old relics. Mr..
Jones told them he did not have many
on hand at present, but there was a
painting he thought was old enough for
anything, and they took it and looked it
over, front and back, then asked the
price. Mr.. Jones told them So.
After few minutes hesitation they
thought they would take it. They then
asked Mr. Jones where he got it; he told
them, and then they told him their story:
Their picture was one of line of histori-
cal paintings, having the artists name
engraved on the back, upon copper, and
was missing one they had been in search
of for some time, They knew it was in
this country somewhere, and began in
New York, but all they could find there
was that it was bought at auction by
some one from Maine. Then began the
hunt; they visited Portland, and all
other cities west Of here; got as far as
Gardner, and were told Mr.. Jones, of
Augusta, kept old relics, and the hunt
ended. They were very cautious in their
movements, but the finale was they sold
the picture for $1,000 in gold, when it
was twenty per cent. premium, net cash
1890.

Marshal of the District, in 1861, he was
in the neighborhood of corner fight,
and, in restoring peace, he struck one of
the belligerents with his fist, the weapon
with which he was notoriously familiar.
He struck rather harder than he in
tended, for the fellow was picked up un-
conscious, and lay some hours on the
border of life and death. Lamon was
greatly frightened, and next morning re-
ported the affair to the President. 81 am

SLAVERY AT HONs KONG.
How Young women and Children

How Young women and Children

tives.
Toxic Times1
Gov. Hennessy, on his return to the
seat of his Government, will have found a
subject demanding investigation and one
with which he will, no doubt, deal
promptly. 1t is hard to imagine that, in
this instance, any reforms which he may
insist upon instituting will be objected to
or meet with opposition on the part of the
residents of Hong Kong; yet recalcitran-
cy, as inexphcable as it would be now
in view of the recent occurrences, has
before been manifested in the same To-
cality.
The Daily Press makes the astonishing
revelation that, in the island of fragrant
streams, trade in human flesh and
blood is 50 unblushingly carried on that
premiums for the recovery Of runaway
slaves are openly advertised. A Chinese
placard, whereof a translation is made by
our contemporary, has been publicly
posted in the town of Victoria, offering a
reward for information leading to the
restoration to her owner of girl IA years
of age who had absconded. The word
used to designate this child Is said to be
an exact equivalent of the term "slave."
and in no way related to that applied to
ofsprings placed by parents in families of
better position than their own. A terri
Bile condition of affairs is disclosed.
Bands of pirates make organized descents
upon the mainland, and carry off all the
young women and children Of whole
villages.
The captives are then put upon passage
boats and conveyed to Hong Kong, where
the girls are drafted into brothels and the
boys sold to tradesmen. 1t is stated that
the wre.ched victims consider themselves
wholly in the power of their captors, and
allow their bodies to be disposed of with
out any resistance. Occasionally case
is detected by the police, and severely
punished in the courts. Immunity, how.
ever, is apparently the rule and convic-
ton the exception in the case of the ruff
fan robbers; for there is much force in
the suggestion that, as the number of
prisoners charged last year before the
British magistrates with abduction and
sale of women and female children was
no less than forty-seven, the trade must
be both extensive and profitable in order
to cover the risk it involves.
The Press goes ON to remark that as
persons of position and outward respect
ability are more or less directly con-
cerned, one remedy might be applied,
namely, to make the purchases Of chill
dren as dangerous an undertaking as the
sale. If there is case in which the re-
ceiver is worse than the thief, and should
incur severer penalty this is such
one. The attention of the Chief Justice
has been attracted to the iniquitous traf-
iic; and there is hope that Mr.. Hennessy,
acting in concert with the provincial au-
thorities on the mainland, may devise
some effective method to remove this new
stigma from the record of colony whose
annals are unfortunately connected with
the worst results OF the intercourse which
Great Britain has forced upon reluctant
China.

There is one thing that traders, dealers
and storekeepers generally ought to bear
in mind, and that is, white money is be-
ing. made is the time it is spent, and the
way for them to obtain their share of it is
to advertise. To be silent in these days
is to be ignored. Let the public know
what you have to sell, to cause them to
head directly for your establishment be-
fore all others. There has not been such
a time when advertising would surely pay
such large returns since the war.
