Betrayed by His Child's Love.

The arrest of b. Dole Bryant, the
sewing machine agent, who was taken
into custody at the Erie Railroad De-
pot, in Jersey City, on Friday night, on
q charge of embezzlement, was ac-
complished in singular manner.
Bryant was for years manager of the
Singer Sewing Machine Company's
branch Office in Albany. He had the i'm
plicit confidence of the company. He
had q family, and was reputed to be so
Der and steady habits. Some time ago he
became acquainted with Albany "sport-
ing'' men, and under their influence
soon fell into bad habits. In short
time he had embezzled $1,000 of the
company's funds, and, being unable to
replace it, he fled to New York without
giving any hint of his destination, even
to his wife. His prolonged absence ex-
cited suspicion, and the company
ordered an investigation of the books.
which resulted in the discovery of his
defalcation. Detective Dwyer, of Al
bany, was entrusted with the case:
Feeling assured that Bryant would
sooner or later communicate with his
wife, he watched her continually. At
the end of several weeks Mrs. Bryant
came to this city with her two daugh-
ters, and remained here in lodging for
a week, all the time closely watched by
the detective. On Friday evening she
and her two children went TO Jersey
City by the Pavonia Ferry. The de-
tective was passenger on the same
boat. Mrs Bryant took her children to
the waiting room and commenced to
pace up and down. "Oh, mamma,
there's papar' =" Hush. child! For Gods
sake, hushr' exclaimed the distressed
mother. at the same time trying to re-
strain the little girl, who was endeavor-
ing to break away. Her efforts were
fruitless. The child broke from her
grasp, and. running over to the man.
joyfully exclaimed, Papa! Papa!
here's mammar' The man pretended
not to recognize the little girl, but she
was persistent. Detective Dwyer
stepped up, and, putting his hand on the
mans shoulder, said, II want you
Bryant" Bryant acknowledged his
identity. and he was taken to the Sec
ond Precinct Station.
He was arraigned before Police JUS
tice Peloubet yesterday morning, and
made full confession of his guilt. He
also explained that he had purchased
tickets for himself and family. and in
tended to settle in Wisconsin, but the
child had unwittingly frustrated the
scheme. The prisoner and b., wife
had . very affecting interview. He
consented to return to Albany without a
requisition. and the detective started

The Protestants of Germany are

Havana is said TO be the least relig-

that from the encouragement received

600 will be raised. Letters come in
from every part of the country with
money and pledges, and the work is
only fairly begun. Agents have been
appointed for each State, and they are
appointing sub-agents, and from the
success thus far met with it is evident
that there will flow into the treasury all
the money that they require.

~The Democratic Congress will
step down and out leaving the same old
smell behind it. Its last days are de-
voted to an effort to steal seat in the
Senate. to attacks upon the public cred

of the Presidency possible. There is
no pretense of respectable and useful
legislation, beyond the routine passage
of appropriation bills. The leaders of

pose than to convince the country that
they have no capacity for public affairs.
If that is their real object, it must be
confessed that they succeed perfectly

Village Improvements.

GOVERNOR BIGELOw, of Connecticut,
in his recent inaugural address, did a
very wise thing in formally introducing
the subject of rural improvements to
the good people of that State. In this
matter he has taken the lead of other
States and set noble example to them
all. His suggestions should have and
will have great influence in all direc-
tions.
Mr.. B. G. Northrop, Secretary of the
Connecticut Board of Education, has
probably done more than any other man
in the country to stir up the people in
regard to s'rural improvements" He
has lectured ON the subject in all parts
of this State, and elsewhere when called
upon. and has been the means of organ
ganizing large number of vilage-im-
provement societies, which are now in
active and very successful operation.
He means to see one State, at least,
rendered very attractive by such public
improvements as will make it more
than ever the JOY and praise of the peo-
pie. The work of improving and beau
tifying village, once begun. will not
be lively to stop, for every step is ap-
preciated alike by old and young. male
and female, rich and poor.
Inc way W Keep yOuuS AuCh aAO
Young women at home is to make home
more and more attractive. The cost of
such work, either public or private, is
comparatively little, and the owners of
property particularly should heartily
encourage every step in this direction
as of the greatest importance. Gov
ernor Bigelow thus speaks of the matter
referred to:
"Closely connected with the matter
of education is a movement for rural
improvement which has been begun in
this State, and which has, under indi-
vidual and private encouragement, at
tanned considerable Importance and is
worthy of all support. 1t is the en-
deavor by local associations 10 beautify
in all reasonable, simple and inexpens-
i've ways our smaller towns and viii
lagos. This is not a subject which will
come before you in your Legislative ca
pacity; but desire to allude to it in ap-
probation of what has been done and
to express sense Of the value which
such q movement has. 1t tends most
directly to the cheerful, intelligent and
enduring happiness of our people that
their surroundings should be such as to
attach them to their homes and to the
communities in which those homes are
placed 1t also makes our towns at
tractive places. in which strangers may
settle."-M Y: independent
