Attempted Robbery.

Attempted Robbery.
About A. NJ. yesterday TUESDAY
morning, private Waterman ] N. Hurley,
whose beat is along Union street, from
Coryell to Bridge, in this city, noticed
two persons standing in front of Boozer' s
store, whose actions he thought to be
suspicious.
In few moments they walked along
Coryell street until they reached Gordon's
Alley, down which they passed. Mr..
Hurley went to the corner of Union and
Church, and shortly after saw the two
men come out of that street and stand in
front of Smiths vegetable store. Soon
they crossed the street and entered the
front yard OF the residence OF Jas. ID.
Stryker and passed to the rear OF the
house. Waterman Hurley followed them,
and they ran out of the yard, endeavoring
to mako their escape. One of them got
away, but the other, upon being threat
ened with shooting If he did not stop, gave
himself up. He was disguised in an old
hat and ragged coat, and had on pair of
thin slippers. He gave fictitious name,
said he lived on Cottage Hill, and claimed
that he went into Mr.. Stryker's yard for
proper purpose. The Waterman, not
believing his story, awakened some per-
sons living ON the street, whe recognized
the prisoner as Asa l.. Miller, a tailor
living on Church street, who with Samuel
Slack, was arrested some time ago for
entering johnson s drug store and robbing
it, both Of whom were out ON bail. Miller
was subsequently taken before Justice
Lyman, and made statement to the
effect that he had just come down on a
coal train from Phillipsburg with his
brother-in-law, and that 1t was his
brother in-law who was with him. He
told very improbable story about his
reasons for being on the street and going
into Mr.. Stryker's yard, and Justice Ly-
man told him plainly that he was lying.
Afterward he confessed to another person
that the person who was with him was
Samuel Slack. Miller in default of bail
was sent to Pennington jail by the noon
train.

General Grant's W eaith,

A special despatch from Washington
says: The official organ of the Mexican
government has published the follow
ing extract from despatch addressed
to the Mexican state Department by
Mr.. Romero, the Minister of Mexico,
here at Washington: The second point
to which General Grant alluded with
considerable interest in long inter.
view which had with him this morn.
ing In New York refers to the rumors
set ahoat regarding his supposed bank
ruptcy. In fact, the said rumors were
published here about a month since,
but no Importance whatever was at
tributed TO them, and even then he told
me that they were absolutely ground.
less. But they have been circulated
abroad, and there great Importance has
bsen attached to them, for General
Grant told me that from England, as
we'll as from China, Germany, Japan
and from other countries, he has re-
ceived letters and kilograms asking him
whether those rnmoRs were true in some
cases, and in others stating the regret
that the news had caused among his
friends, and that all this had assumed
q character quite disagreeable to him.
He told me that he had not invested a
single cent in stock speculaticns in
which it was supposed he had lost his
capital, and that those rumors had no
other object than to affect certain stock
in the market for the purpose of de-
preciating the former; that for a long
tune past he had made up his mind not
to contradict any rumor published
about him, and that for this reason he
had not contradicted In formal nan.
ner those which referred to his sup
posed financial ruin, but that privately
he had to tell his friends that it was
en- irely false, and that he had not lost
a single cent in the operations attribu.
ted to him. AS in Mexico some sensa-
ton has been created by General
Grants supposed bankruptcy, l deem
it convenient for the government to be
we'll informed as to the real truth. l
have resolved to forward you the state
ments made to me this morning by the
said General.

Free Hard Roads.

In some of the States Of the West
and we shall select Ohio-hard roads,
better known as turnpikes, are con-
stlucted, as we learn, under the opera
ton Of a general law, whether those re-
siding in township or district or
along the line If road desired it or n OF.
From all we can gather, many who op-
pose these improvements at first come
to like them, finding that they pay
really no more in taxes than they
would pay in tolls over Pennsylvania
turnpike, and in many cases not az
much; for turnpike here in the East
is expected not only to draw enough
from the pockets of the farmers to make
the road and keep it in repair. but to
keep the tollgate keepers and send a
good profit into the pockets of the stock
holders in the way Of dividends besides.
Even those who thought the Old-fashion
ed spring mud roads good enough to
pull through with three or four horses,
find that the tax is less than the two
extra horses required, as these one or
two on a good road will do the work of
three or four on, or rather in q bad one.
In short, the saving of tolls, labor and
wear and tear, is q great thing all
around.
But we find some who are not pleas
ed with the plan. as it is but reasonable
we should. The tax for road purposes
Is laid on according to the nearness to
the road, those who live or so back from
the stoned road paying little or nothing.
1t seems all fair; but there are always
some who, from shiftless management,
undertaking too much with too little
means, or who have had real misfor-
tunes and are poor, are quite sure the
old roads were good enough for any
body. There, as we'll AZ here and everv-
where, untortunates have to be crowd
ed out by their more prosperous neigh
bors. improvements cannot waiJ for
them; and this we are pleased to fir d
is the feeling of the majority of the
Ohio farmers In regard to the Ohio free
turnpike law.
How satisfactory it would be to have
all our roads here hard and smooth and
free of toll! We would have to pay for
them, 1t is true in taxes, but this wou Id
be done in lump, and the time saved
in stopping at toll gates, say five hun
dred to a Thousand times year, added
to do the work that Is to be done on the
farm in hurrying seasons, sometimes
securing many tons of hay from the
rain, would more than compensate for
every cent psid in the way of taxes.
Just for a moment think the matter
over, and count up the profit and loss
by adopting the Ohio plan Of good roads
to say nothing Of the comfort. safety
and increased rate of travel

How AllIgaIOrs Eat.

An alligator's throat is an animated
sewer. Everything which lod ges in his
open mouth goes down. He Is lazy
dog, and, instead of hunting for some
thing to cat, he lets his victua!s hunt
for him. That is, he lies with his great
mouth open, apparently dead, like the
'possum. Soon a bug crawls in 1t, then
u fly, then several gnats, and a colony
Of mosquitoes. The alligator don't
close his mouth yet. He is waiting for
a whole drove of things. He does his
eating by Wholesale. "A little later a
lizard will cool himself under the shade
of the upper jaw. Then few frogs
will hop up to catch the mosquitoes and
gnats light on the frogs. Finally a
whole village of insects and reptiles
settle down for an afternoon picnic.
Then, all at once, there is an earth
quake. The big jaw falls, the alligator
blinks one eye, gulps down the entire
menagerie, and opens his great front
door again for more visitors.
