GIVING HIMSELF UP AS A VAGRANT,
THoUGH HEIR TO AT LEAST $5O.GO0.-
Walter P. Worrall gave himself up as a
vagrant III the Jefferson Market Police
Court on December oath last. ard WAS
committed TO the care of the Commission
ers Charities and Correction. His clothes
were much worn. His manner was quiet.
He seemed to be of uns0und mind. He
was given employment iii the court Jail,
where he worked as a cook. He became
tired OF his lite on Sunday last, and wrote
to the law firm of Dupignac u Dupignac,
his attorneys Louis DupigDac called at
the court yesterday, surprising that Wor-
rail- had just been arrested. His surprise
was great when he learned that WOrrail
had been the prison cook for a month. He
said that Wnrrall was worth at least $780,
COO whichsh family hold in trust for
lin. Wofrall he explained, was subject
to strange freaks. LII the fall of 1878 he
shipped as a common sailor, and made the
voyage to Liverpool aud back before the
mast For this last freak there Was no
reason at all, as he could easily command
the interest on his money. Mr. Duplgnac
took measures to have Worrall released.
LII The prison Worrall was known as
Walter. He was found cooking the soup.
He has pleasing, gentlemanly face, with
high forehead and heavy dark moustache.
He said that his father had been in the
iron business at % Elm street, and had a
foundry IN Elizabeth. He died in 1878,
leaving 100000 Worrall said that he
had not received his Inheritance, but
would in time. When asked why he had
given himself up, he said:
THAT was my last resort; my relatives
are antagonistic to men. Y. Sun.

THE SALVATION ARMY IN ENGLAND !.
The salvation Army" queer as it is in
its make up and its methods, is now rec
ognized in England as an evangelical
agency Of considerable power. Its leader
is named Booth. He has been at WORK
for fourteen years, although in a compar-
atively obscure way until two or three
years ago He is tall, dark. spare and angu-
lar. with shaggy and gristly beard, pierre
ing little eyes, and an enormous Roman
nose. tie Is nervous, earnest and bold
lie has none of the gifts or graces OF the
style OF oratory which IS admired IN re-
fined circles; but is d powerful speaker i'll
his rough way when he has an audience OF
working people in sympathy with him.
His followers are managed in military
fashion. There are 125 corps. with a STA
tlon for each, and $50 officers. They claim
to preach the Christianity OF the Bible,
and to be in harmony with all Gospel
Christians, while they make no organic
union with any. Booth respects all the
sects. He issues his orders to his officers,
aud expects implicit obedience, which he
generally gets. His book of orders and
regulations is volume of over one hun
dred pages, going into details as to every
thing the officers and members OF the Sal
walton Army. are expected to do. The
l"Hallelujah Lasses'' are considered fully
the equal of any Of the male forces in eff
cheney. Among the factory people aud
the Golfers i'll the coalmining districts the
labors of the Army have been most sue
cessfully put forth. An official gazette
called the ''War Cry is issued more or
! less regularly. It bristles with martial ex-
pressions, and is full Of the idea Of march
ing on the devil and annihilating his
forces. With all that is queer and odd III
Booth and MS co-workers, he seems to be
| honest and practical, as Well as desperately
| in earnest in regard to the salvation of tht
| poor, for whose good he labors.

The KHEDIvE s DIAMONDS The Gin
clnnatl Enquirer gives the following &C
count of the disposition OF the fanons diA-
mond necklace presented to General Sher-
man eldest daughter on the occasion of
her marriage to Lieut.. Fitch. When it
was received in this country the duties de-
manded amounted to $40 900 as the low
est estimate of its value Wa> $40 900. The
Lieutenant was unable to pay this sum,
and an act was passed admitting the
necklace free of duty. Lieutenant Fitch
then found that the taxes in st. Louis
would take the whole of his income, and
he once more found the necklace an ele
plant on his hands. General Sherman
then returned the necklace. with thanks.
to the donor. In reply. the Khedive said
that 1t was not his desire that the dia
monds should be given to any one member
OF his family, but as he had four daughters
he desired that the diamonds should BIZ
mounted in sets aud DIVIDED equally among
them These daughters are Mrs. Fitch,
nee Minnie Sherman, Ella Sherman, Liz
zle Sherman and Rachel Sherman. The
necklace was then returned to the Sher-
man family and mounted in four magniti-
cent pendants. four pairs of splendid soil
taire earrings and eight rings. These
four ladies are now the happy possessOrs
of four complete suits of diamonds; tn
value, OF each suit being at least $4,000.
This makes each OF them rich in her own
right, through the generosity Of Egypt

THE FATAL WEDD1Ne.-Last week

THE FATAL WEDDING.-Last week
we published the fact that since the mar
rage of Mrs. Miranda Wilson at the resi-.
dence of her father, Russell Carper, in
Montgomery county, Va.,. on the 10th Of
December, the BRIDE had died Jan. 30th:
Chas. W. Grim, a guest, died Jan. 31st
and his sister, Mandola Grim, died Feb
LIST. We now learn from the Montgomery
messenger" that another guest, Miss
Mile Simpkins, died Feb. 9th, and the
colored cook, who prepared the wedding
supper, died Feb. 18th. Two OF the Car
per family have died; five are still sick.
and one of them, Miss Viola. is supposed
to be dying. W. G. Charlton, another
guest, is seriously ill, with similar symp'
toms to those who have died. 1t is held
by some that the copper kettle used IN
cooking caused the mortality. and by
others that the symptoms are those OF
typhoid fever, which last is more likely to
be che case.

member that the Secretary is the mentor
'of the Republican party IN the matter Of
maintaining and improving the credit of
the United States. and that the signers are
voting to for chilly readJust the debt OF
their own State, the following extract from
his reply to them may be taken to be the
keenest irony: "You are now invested
with all the rights held by any other cti-
zens of Virginia. and you should, and no
doubt do, feel the full responsibilities IF
your position" That is to say it might
be so construed if the rest of the letter
was not filled with soft and grateful saw
