NUMBERING IN PRISON.

A daring robbery has been perpetrated at
Mazas prison. A theft in the very den of
the law, and certainly quite as audacious a
one as the crime of the woman who, about a
year ago, was caught stealing gas globes
from the Seventeenth Precinct Station-house
storeroom in New York.
1t is the practice of the Project Of Police
TO issue passes to would-be visitors to the
prison every Monday. A gentleman ap-
peared at the Jail on the day in question and
took out his pocketbook to find his pass. II
was quitenea reggie, and he passed on
Directly behind him two women appeared.
They, too, were in proper form and were
admitted.
Shortly after the gentleman came back
He had left his pocket-book on the desk, he
said, and as it contained 600 francs, he was
not unnaturally anxious to recover it. This,
however, was easier said than done. The
closest search failed to reveal it. An order
was then given to search every one who
passed out. The consequence was thatquitt
0 crowd collected at the entrance. But tht
wallet was not found, and the gentleman
went away disappointed.
Next morning thirteen people complained
to the police that they had had their pockets
picked while passing out of the prison
after having been searched The gentleman
of the wallet was really an ingenious mem
Der of the swell mob. The two women wer'
bis accomphces. They had turned up to b.
searched and passed out IS soon as he mad'
his complaint. Then they had stood outsid
and relieved the passers out of their valua
bles as they passed by, absorbed ina discus
sion of the mysterious robbery.

A DETECTIVES lsUSE.

A young man was wanted by the police,
says the London Sporting and Dramatic
Nssos, and his skill in the arts of making
up" and lodging his would-be captors was
so considerable that for long time he es-
capped detection At length clever detec-
tive was put on his track, and first of all he
began to inquire about his associates. One
Of the most intimate of them was, it APP
peared, certain young woman, and about
her he first of all found out everything. He
had reason to suspect that she was ac-
Quainted with the fugitive's hiding place; SO
the first thing to be done was to follow her
on Saturday afternoon when she was free
from her employment. An innocent young
detective in the guise of a carpenter was
told off to watch, and endeavored to strike
up an acquaintance, in which design he was
not very successful, though he ascertained
that Kingston was her destination that after
noon. To Kingston he went, and traced
her to house occupied by an old man,
about whom the neighbors knew no more
than that he was an old man. He was an
elderly invalid, never went out, never went
to the door, saw nobody, and how was he to
be caught and examined? There was moth
ing known about him to justify the police in
entering the house, and the detective walked
round the place, in company with the
carpenter" wondering what to do next.
At the back of the house was a garden, in
which was kennel containing big dog, OF
rather not containing him, for he was lying
out in the sun at the end of his chain. No
sign of life was visible in the house. Jump
over the wall and kick that dog; then hide
behind the summer-house," said the detec.
tive to the carpenter" In a moment the
young man was over the wall, and the dos
was bowling from the effects of kick il
the ribs. Neighboring dogs joined ia the
chorus, and at the window appeared the oil
gentleman. No one was about; the dos
continued to howl, and incautiousiy hi
owner came down the garden to see wha
was the matter. Beneath the well-madI
gray wig the detective recognized the objeo
of his search, and in q moment the ares
was made.

A remarkable episode In the arrival of the
amnestied Communists brought home by the
Loire recently deserves notice, writes Paris
correspondent. Among them was 10 man
named Gilbert, who, ten years ago. in the
Spring Of 1870, loved and was beloved by Q
charming girl, whose father held post
under the Empire. The young couple
agreed to be married, but the old Imperial
list, aware Of the Republican tendencies Of
his daughters sutton, gave an absolute re-
fusal to Gilbert's demand for her hand, and
there was no hope that he could ever be
brought to change his resolution. At this
point the story turns into romance, and its later
incident might form the subject Of novel
The lovers resolved to prove the depths Of
their attachments by dying togsther. and ac-
cordingly proceeded to littleinn ct 9 village
on the banks Of the Marine, and there, having
decked themselves with flowers and OK
changed a last kiss, Gilbert fired one barrel
of revolver at his mistress and Immediately
discharged another into his own breast.
Both were severely wounded, but neither
fatally they were tended, cured, but not
pardoned. The father took back his daugh-
ter, and, it is said, persuaded her some little
time after to marry one of his colleagues.
As for Gilbert, his despair knew no bounds,
and when the war broke out he went to seek
from Prussian bullets the death he had failed
to inAict by his own hand. But he escaped
unscathed, and then, in his madness, threw
himself into the insurrection, to be again
spared death, though he fought desperately
against the Versaillais, exposing his life in
the most reckless way. He was arrested
and transported to New Caledonia, whence
he has now returned pardoned for his poll
teal crimes, but not for the attempted muir
der. No sooner had he landed at Brest OF
his return home than he was arrested by {
couple of gendarmes as he was taking hi
first meal on French soil after eight years
exile. The sympathizing correspondent
from whose letter derive these particular
says Gilbert was at the last moment Offered
the means OF escape, but he refused to avail
himself of them, declaring that he pre-
ferred to stand his trial, and he is now il
prison at the disposal of the Procurer of tn,
Republic.

Never burn kindly written letters; il is so
