Gals in which the former told the
latter to be Of good cheer and he
would have him out of jail in six
DAYS. Letters from prominent peo-
pie alss poured in, but these we're
found to be forgeries. and Clinton
deemed it wise to skip away to Balti-
mere Here he rented q house adj
Joining one of the largest banks, and
had as his boarders such celebrated
people as Shale Hamilton and Jack
Phillips. After the bank had been
robbed the cracksn,en ran away and
left Clinton without his share Of the
plumber. Phillips Was sent to Lon
don to negotiate the stolen bonds, and
when he Was safety landed On the
other side he sent a letter stating that
he did not think he would return to
the United States. because he had no
desire to get in Philadelphia prison.
Il prefer London steaks rather than
B0rae..s celebrated beef, he wrote to
friend in the penitentiary. Phillips
sent word to the rest of the robbers
that if they desired any of the money
they should come to London for it.
They did, hut We're not very we'll re-
warded. Phillips is now the prOprie-
tor of magnificently fitted up
gin palace in London. where all the
noted cracksmen who 90 abroad

good, cOngregate.
The failure to secure any of the
money left Clinton in bad financial
condition, and he devoted his atten.
ton to boarding house robbing. In
this he was quite successful for time,
but recently has come to look rather
seedy. His latest exploit WAS but a
mean job in the eyes OF thieves. The
man has relatives who are among the
honOred of the citizens Of Trenton,
\. j., is naturally smart and has
been well educated. He is now in
prison, awaiting trial.

HE FOOLED TILDBN.
A Rascal Who Wrote Himself in
and Out of Jail.

Phisdelphis Record.
Henry Clinton began his criminal
career as forger, then turned bank
robber, and more recently he has
blossomed as boarding house thief
of mean proportions. Last week
Clinton stepped i'm Nssh's saloon, on
South Fifth street. and asked where he
could find a good boarding house.
He was directed to Mrs. keifer's. on
Fifth street, near Spruce, and on the
first day of his residence in the place
he robbed some OF the other boarders.
and was arrested 10y Detectives Gray
and HuIfish.
Clinton has had a remarkable ca.
reer. Twenty years ago he served a
term Of seven years in the eastern
penitentiary for forgery. Later he
turned up in Sing Sing prison. and
by the expert use Of bis pen and
boldness, succeeded in hoodwinking
Governor Tilden and writing himself
out of the place. At that time Mr.
Tilden had great presidential. aspira-
tions. and the credulity of the poll
tician was wrought upon. One day
no received q letter from Clinton
stating that he WAS respectfully con-
nected. and that he was the editor Of
a newspaper in the south. which was
power i'm its section. He told the
story Of having come north on bust
ness, meeting some jolly fellows il
New York, and having in an unfor-
tunate moment committed the crime.
Following this statement of the case
the governor received letters pur-
porting to have been written bv num-
bers of prominent democratic politi-
clans in New York, and the ruler of
the Empire state was informed that if
be would only liberate CLIFTON the
fellow would return south, make his
paper a strong advocate Of Tilden for
president, and help the Gramercy
sage's candidacy. The bait took. and
i'm short time he was duly pardoned.
After his release the fraud was dis
covered; but the governor. not will
ing to let it be known how he had
been duped. allowed the clever forger
to depart in peace. The next move
was to attempt the same game ON
Governor Hartranft with the idea of
securing the release of Harry Miner,
side partner of Clinton, who was in
the eastern penitentixry. Clinton
went TO New York, and wrote letter
to Hartranft, in which he stated that
he desired the release of his poor
nephew. Miner. and promised that if
the governor would only grant this
request to a poor old heart broken
uncle he would send Miner to his
plantation in Jamaica. just about
this time q letter from Clinton to
Miner was captured by the prison off

When our great poet wa. 9 years
old, his master wanted him to write a
composition. Little Henry, like all
children, shrank from the undertak-
ing. His master said:
You can::write. can you net, >"
Yes was the reply.
"Then you can put words together -
Yes, sir"
Then, said the master, "you may
take your slate and 60 behind the
schoolhouse. and there you can find
something to write about then YOU
cal tell what it is used for, and what
is to be done with it, and that will be
= composition"
Henry took his slate and went out.
He went behind Mr.. Finney's harm,
which CHANGED to be near. and seeing
a fne turnip growing up, he thought
ne knew what that was for, and what
would be done with it.
A halfhour had been allowed to
Henry for his first undertaking in
writing compositions. Ia half an hour
he carried in his work, all accom-
plished, aud the master is said to
have been affected almost to tears
when he saw what little Henry had
done in the short time:
Mr.. FISNEY's TuRrIP.
Mr.. Finney had turnip,
And il grew, and il grew:
And it grew behind the barn.
And the turnip did no harm.
And it grew. and it grew,
Till il could grew no taller;
Then Mr.. Finney took itup
And put it in the cellar.
There it lay, there il law.
Till il began to rot,
When his daughter Susie washed il,
And she put il in pot
Then she boiled it, and boiled il.
As long As she was able;
Then his daughter Lizzie took il.
And she put il OH the table.
Mr.. Finney and his wife
Both sat down To sup.
And they ate, and they ate.
