p O'Clock yesterday morning 10 enter Mr..
Kenny's coffee-stOre, 1903 east Main street.
There Is back alley to bis lot, and the lot
Is enclosed by high fence. In every way
II Is nicely adapted to meet the wants Of an
enterprising burglar, who, once inside the
lot, could operate with perfect safety,
though when he got I'm the store he would
find very few valuables that could be car
ried of.
Mr.. Hall, the manager there. says that
when he opened the store yesterday MORN
ing be was told by lady neighbor, who
had spent wakeful night, that she had
twice seen burglars about--first about II
ana next about 2:30 O'Clock. IL seemed to
her that there were two boys getting over
the fence, and that there were two men
standing on the sidewalk on Seventeenth
street. Her ovements-opening the win
dow or Omething-frightened them off.
She told Mr.. Hall that she saw them plain
ly, and no mistake about 1t.
They were probably Richmond thieves.
They had their trouble for their pains.
Real Robberfes.
OF the real robberies reported. the first
was at the residence OF T. William Penn
berton. Esq, on March 25th; then fol-
lowed robberies OF Mr.. Il. F. Minor, Mr..
Word, and Mrs. ex-President Tyler. Mr.
Minor lost, in addition to gold watch and
chain and money, some valuable papers,
which were returned to him by mail. The
home Of Policeman Shields was entered
and robbed OF his dress-coat, which the
thief dropped in the alley. A burglar lurk-
ing about the premises of Mrs. Meanley was
fired upon by Colonel Tanner and driven
of. a man who had gotten upon the
porch OF Mayor Carrlngton's residence was
frightened off.
The police are under the impression that
those who committed the robberics above
named have left the city. Ii is to be hoped
that they have. They looked out for
money, jewels, and gold watches.
Finding a key in door-lock they would
seize the heel OF it with nippers. turn the
key in the lock, and throw back the bolt OF
the lock, and thus gain easy entrance.
1t was understood here yesterday that
some OF our robbers had been arrested in
Norfolk. The following special tells about
it:
NORFOLK, VA, April 26.-The three
strangers, Charles Moore, William Wright,
and Roderick Rodgers, arrested on sllspi-
cion of being connected with the gang OF
Richmond burglars, have since been ident-
fed as belonging 10 this section, and dis
charged.

when His Heart Thawed Out"

One day two or three years ago n
gruff old man, hard-hearted and given
1 to drink, and living alone in a house
on Gratiot street, found crippled boy
3 or 10 years of age crying in front of
his door. 1t was his way to curse chill
dren and drive them away, but in this
instance he spoke kindly to the lad,
and even sympathized with him For
that once his hardened heart seemed to
thaw out, and men who noticed his
kind action wondered greatly.
BY and by the crippled boy, known
as jake, seemed to grow into the old
mans heart and spent hours with him
at his house. He was, so far as any
one could remember, the first and only
human being TO say a kind word for
gruff old Ben.
When the old man fell sick a few
weeks ago nobody missed him for sew
eral days. Indeed, no one cared much
| whether he was sick or well, but some
one interested himself enough to dis
cover that the sick man was being
nursed by the cripple. The days and
nights must have been terribly lone
some TO the lad, but he was faithful to
| the last. The other morning he quiet
| ly announced to the neighbors that old
Ben was dead. Those who went in
found the rooms in neat order, the dead
man lying as if asleep, and the money
| TO bury him was safe in an old wallet
in the bureau. When they asked jake
about it he explained:
"He died as easy as baby. Long
at first he used to curse and swear
about his sickness, but after while he
let me read the bible to him, and some
times / saw tears in his eyes.
Folks thought him hard man."
but he wasn't. When his heart
| thawed out he was like child. One
day / brought him from the chest LOT

Our National Prospects.

The outlook, until the crops of next
year are reaped. is not particularly
hopeful. Our wheat crop is over 100,-
10000 bushels short compared with
last year. Our corn crop is 40j. 900, 00O
bushels short of the 1900, 600, 900 bush
els. which was so confidently expected
early in the season. Our cotton crop
will be 10000 bales less than the
previous year. Our external trade will
consequently suffer, as we depend en-
tirely upon our agricultural products
to pay for the foreign goods we con-
sumo. There is no market abroad for
American manufactured products. Then
business failures are very numerous.
Last year the sum total of bankrupt
cics amounted to less than $50, 100000,
but during the year just passed the to-
tai was swelled to $4,000, 900. The
shrinkage in prices, due TO the adop'
ton of the gold unit OF value, is IN
creasing the number of bankruptcle:

This is matter which the United
States alone cannot rectify, as it will

At the Grave Of Charles Wolfe.

-Wolfe the poet. is buried in Clonmel Parish
Churchyard. Queenstown, of which this is the
cemetery,was early arcsOrt for consumptiyes.
Where the graves are many, we looked for
one,
Oh, the Irish rose was red,
And the dark stones saddened the setting
With the name of the early dead.
Then a child who. somehow, had heard of him
In the land we love so well,
Kept lifting the grass till the dew was dim
In the Churchyard OF Clonmel.
'he sexton came. "Can you tell us where
Charles Wolfe is buried?' ~ can.
q that is his grave In the corner there.
Ay, he was clever man
a God had spared himD It's many that come
To be looking for him! said he.
But the boy kept whispering, Not drum
Was heard'-in the dusk TO me.
(Then the gray man tore vine from the wall
OF the roofiess church where he lay,
And the leaves that the whitening year let
fall
He swept with the ivy away;
And, as we read on the rock the words
That, writ in the moss, we found,
Right over his bosom shower OF birds
In music fell 10 the ground)
Young Poet wonder did you care,
Did IL move you in your rest,
To hear that child in his golden hair
From the mighty woods of the West,
Repeating your verse of his own sweet will,
TO the sound of the twilight bell,
Years after your beating heart was still
In the churchyard OF Clonmel?
