be q piece OF newspaper neatly folded and
inclosed in two five-pOund notes on the
Bank of Engraving" Seen from distance,
they were splendid counterfeits Of genuine
notes.
Then Mr.. Brown told me the story Of the
capture of the other two while was con.
versing with Williams. It seems that from
the moment of our leaving the hotel the de-
tectives had never lost sight Of us, and more.
over that they at once discovered No. 3
logging our footsteps, but taking care that
never saw him. When Murphy turned
GERS guessed the purpose Of the ruse,
and accordingly, while one OF them
kept watch over Williams the other
tracked Mr.. Murphy. Concealing them
selves in an entry just as the Irishman came
up with the third confederate, they heard
them laughing and chuckling and talking
emily to Take. Then No. 8 came after Will
liams and myself. But the detectives were
too many for them, and had prudently sc.
cured such aid as enabled them to arrest the
two swindlers before they had gone many
yards on their separate ways. On being
searched at the police office, the combined
riches of the three amounted to six shillings
and sixpence in genuine money; they had
also quantity Of the flash notes and Of SOW
ereign counters. The only article of value
found among them was the ring which
was worn by Murphy, and which was dis
covered to be of considerable value.
Their photographs were taken and sent
round the country with description Of the
circumstances under which the originals had
been arrested, and it soon transpired that
they were "wanted" on account Of more sue
cessful achievements of similar kind, for
which they got their deserts. As for myself,
I had enough Of annoyance and loss in con-
nection with their subsequent trial to make
me remember my adventure unpleasantly;
but had some consolation in the reflection
men who tried to deprive me of it were, for
some time thereafter, prevented from prac-
ticing their art upon the public Cham
6ers,s Journal.

lance OF anOLueF cuaFacIeT, anu SO rose WIN
my boy to go down to his ship. Captain
quite interested in the lad, proposed to walk
a little way with us. Mr.. Murphy, being
thoroughly his own master, and hardly
knowing what to do with himself while
staying in Liverpool, also asked il he might
join us. When we got outside, the Captain
fell behind, suggesting that my son and he
should walk together. was by no means
unwilling to assent, assuring myself from
what 1 had heard of this gentleman's talk
before that his conversation now would be
to the boys advantage. As Mr.. Murphy
wished to see something Of the principal
streets, we did not take the nearest way to
the docks, but sauntered down Castle Street,
Lord Street and Church Street, and, coming
to the Central Railway Station, the Irishman
expressed a wish to 60 inside and see it. As
We walked about the platform, speaking of
many subjects, he adroitly turned the con.
versation again to his uncle's singular be-
quest. "Now, sir" said he, "could not
you help me to distribute some of this mon
ey? Are there any poor people in your
neighborhoodW
'sWell," replied, /" for that matter where
are there not poor people?"
"Ah, to be sure; but name couldn't you
do some good with the money in the way !

could make good use of some OF It; but why
propose the thing to me, whose name even
you don't know, when your priest or your
legal adviser could tell you SO well what to
do~
"Ah, sure, I've had bother enough with
the praste and Mr.. Metcalfe; and a. I've lived
all me life in the country, as you may say, I
know nobody who could do this for me.
It's thrue don't know your name; but Pm
sure you're very respectable gintleman,
and you seem very kind, and could trust
you very WELL"
Just then Captain Williams came to our
side, and Murphy appealed to him. Soap
tain, I've just been asking this gintleman il
he couldn't distribute some of this money
for me, and he says he thinks he could.
Now, as we've met in this way, I'll not make
fish of one and flesh of another, and I'll
make the same offer to you as pve made to

Letter from Mr. Caples.

EDITOR AsTOBIAN:
In your very excellent paper Of the
date Of May 18th, my attention as
district attorney is called to the fact
that "a half crazy being, etc., without
cause or provocatiOn, had threatened
to put an end to the existence of an
Astoria man of business, and had ac-
tually applied to the chief of police
for a weapon" The same paragraph
mot inaptly) suggests that there is a
place for all such persons, and the
sooner they are cared for the better it
will be. An act of the legislature of
this state, as recorded a: pages 394
and 395, in what is known as the
General Laws Of Oregon, compiled In
1872, provides a perfect remedy in
such a case, and IN fact the law,
whenever appealed to and properly en-
forced, furnishes in every case ample
protection to the life and property Of
every human being within cur
borders. | most earnestly deprecste
any idea that It does not. Such
threats ought not in any instance to
be allowed to go unpunished, and the
necessity for the prompt enforcement
Of the law is very apparent IN view of
the recent deplorable tragedy in your
city. But yonr city and county Off
cials, however Jealous, can do but
little in such case unless complaint
is made by the person against whom
such threat is directed. La the In
stance referred to, the person threat
ened should have made complaint at
once. Hon. Frank j. Taylor, whose
faithfulness ahd efficiency are well
known, is deputy district attorney fer
Clatsop county, and any violation OF
the law reported to him will U engage)
be promptly attended 10.
Allow me to repeat, the Law encir-
cles with its invincible arm every man,
woman and child within our bound
aries. Let your gooI people when
occasion requires. invoke and receive
its protection. Let the law abiding
he protected and sustained, but ''let
no guilty one escape"

boats bottom lac caught hold of the
centerboard, which had slipped down,
and in doing 50 righted the boat and
the boat puller popped out from under

skin apron ola boom as a signal of
distress and sat in the boat, up TO their
necks in water part Of the time, until
