| CONFIDENCE GAME. - DIR. E. w
Clark's pleasure trip to the South, an
nounced in last weeks Bulletin, wa
seriously interrupted the evening fol
lowing his departure, hence his re
turn last Saturday evening. AT Nash
vile, Tenn, he was made the victim
of confidence game whereby he lost
about $500, and was left with but 81 IL
in his pocket. The particulars are
briefly as follows: While entering the
upper depot at Nashville, Wednesday
evening, stranger of pleasing address,
about 27 years old, took seat in front
of Mr.. Clark aud scraped an acquaint-
snce by inquiring if he was not DIR.
Clark from, Kent. The Doctor replied
in the Affirmative. Them" said the
stranger, "you must know Charley
Clapp, cashier of the National Bank !;
he Is my cousin, and Marvin Kent, the
president, is my uncle; my name is
Hibbard, and l am shipping goods to
the South"
Doctor was happy to meet him, shook
hands, made room in the seat, and Mr..
Hibbard settled down by his side. A
pleasant conversation ensued about
matters in general, including Florida,
DR.. Clark's destination. On arriving
at the lower depot, "Hibbard" assist
ed the Doctor off the train and onto
another bound for Chattanooga. When
comfortably seated with Hubbard" :"
by his side, portly gentleman, to all
appearances an express agent entered
the car, and, approaching Hibbard i"
said to him, You must pay the ex-
pressage on your goods at this point:
the company has dissolved partnership
aud each end of the road collects its
own expressage {; the amount is $35.
"Well." remarked Hibbard, "I did
not know of this arrangement and am
net prepared to pay the money unless
you can take it out of that" at the
same time producing $1,000 Govern
ment bond. This the express man
could not do.
Turning to Mr.. Clark, "Hibbard !"
inquired if he could not lone him $35.
The Doctor wishing to accommodate
the gentleman, assented and reached
for the money, but found he had only
two ten dollar bills in his pocket.
Calling "Hibbard" aside he took out
his wallet and proceeded to count out
the amount, when the rascal grabbed
all the money and jumped the cars
with his pal, the " expressmsn," rs the
train was about to move off. Mr.. Clark
also got off the train and notified the
police, but too late. The thieves, with
their plumber, made their escape in the
darkness. The plot evidently emanat-
ed from Kent, among rogues acquaint-
ed with DIR. Clark's circumstances and
his trip South, who forwarded infor-
nation to the villains that carried out
the game. 1t is unnecessary to state
that the claimed relationship with
Messrs. Kent and Clapp was rusa-

PlnafOre, by tho Miniature Opera

The Miniature Opera Company OF
Fifth Avenue, New York, is booked
for the Opera Hause this, Thursday
evening, In Pinafore." The compa-
ny is pronounced by the press every
where an excellent one, and we antici-
pate for those who attend one of the
most pleasant entertainments ever
given in the place. The Company
performed during last week in Case
Hall, Cleveland, and elected the high
est commentators from the press of
that city. The Plain Dealer in speak
ing of the performance, says:
"A more highly pleased groupe of
people it has not been our good fortune
to see for long time. Ripples of
laughter, murmNrse Of astOnishment,

wee, rosy, and sprightly of a girl is
Miss Pollock, and when she advances
with dainty step, tOsses her head back
and a little to one side, elevates her
nose ceilipgward in the loftiest kind of
way, and then sings, "And SO do his

The Euryer Posnanski publishes it's annual
statistical report OF the effects of the Cultur-
kampf in tho united diocesss of Gnesen and
Posen. At the beginning of the year 1874
there were slS Olergymen, of whom only 619
remained at the close of last year, being loss
of over "a per cent in four years. EDaring this
time e5 clergymen died, 81 were driven away
through the action of the May Laws. and un-
fortunately % either proved themselves open
ly unfaithful, or 80 acted as to give good rea-
son for suspeoting their fidelity. During the
present year the two dioceses have lost 10
priests, one of whom was q canon of the Cathe-
dral and 10 were parish priests, so that at pre-
sent there are only 600 clergymen in the two
dioceses. The number of vacant parishes is go,
including, of course, those which are occupied
by schismatical intruders. The total number
of parishes in the united dioceses is 555, SO
that one-siXth of the whole number 10 depriv-
ed.of legitimate pastors. The number of souls
in the vacant parishes amounts to 169.7 .740. OF
these 65. .139 have the blessing of still having
the services of Wears or assistant priests, who,
having been appointed previous to the Nay
Laws, are regarded as illegally qualified" !"
while 104 COL are wholly destitute of spiritual
assistance. In the northern portion OF the
province there is a district over forty miles
long, and in some places fifteen miles broad,
which is wholly destitute of priests. Similar
destitution exists on the Brsudenburg border,
and in the southeast there are districts over
300 miles square without priest. In the
neighborhood Of Kosten Gtself in the hands of
q schismstioal intruder, Brenk) there are three
parishes vacant, three others have parish
priests too infEm fox active work, the parish
priest Of another is in prison, aud those of t NO
others are under sentence of imprisonment. We
must remember that this is the story Of only .
single diocese out of twelve in Prussia.

II there is any one cause which should mako
French Republicans doubtful of the effect
which their successes will have upon the
future of their country, it is the great joy with
which the intelligence of their electoral vic
tories is inv ably received in Germany. by
telegraph We hear that the German press shows
great satisfaction with the result Of the recent
Senatorial elections in France, whereby the
Republicans secure a maj ority in the Upper
Chamber and become masters of the country.
The North German Gdsette intimates that the
Republic can always reckon on the sympathy
of Germany SO long as its policies reflect the
ssoderate and reasonable views of Gambetta.
