4 YOUNG THIEF.
\ I4-Year-OId Boy Robs his Employer
of 5000 in JeweIry.

L IA ear-Olu boy RODS MS uplO4e f
of 5000 in Jewelry.
Last night about 10 O'Clock Policeman
George 7. Durham arrested a negro boy
named George Wright, about IA years old,
at the instance of Mr.. A. F. Flint, the
Congress street jeweler. 1t appears the
boy was in the employ of Mr.. Flint as a
porter and messenger. For some time he
had been suspected of stealing watches,
chains and rings from the show cases
When arrested nothing was fOnnd upon
him TO prove the theft. and it was stated
that some of the property which he had
stolen was returned to MIR. Flint
prior to his arrest. The extent
Of his thefts, 1t is thought, will amount to
nearly 5000. Other parties are suspected
OF being implicated with the boy, and will
be arrested. Wright was lodged in the
barracks. and will be brought before the
Mayor this morning.

Politeness Rewarded.
fNe,O York S,sn.l

"Will you be kind enough, sir, to hold this
ram for me whileI open this gate? Its fastened
on the inside, must climb over"
This modest request was made yesterday by q
man who was standing at gate on lonely road
running out of New Dorp, Staten Island, and it
was addressed to astalwart sailor who had just
come up. The only other living object visible
on the long, straight road was the large black
ram, whose massive crooked horns were being
held by the man as the two stood quite still in
front of the gate.
"Why. sartinIy, shipmate,p said the obliging
tar as he seized the big horns and relieved the
first holder.
The latter climbed quickly over the gate.
" l thank you very much" he said politely
when he got to the other side. "You will be
surprised to hear that l never saw that ram
before to-day. The brute attacked me about
half an hour ago, and we have been tussIing
together ever since. As long as you stand be-
fore him holding his horns firmly he can't hurt
you much. Good bye. / hope you will be as
lucky in getting away from him as l have
BEEN"
The New Dorp man. when telling this story
last night neglected to repeat the sailors reply
He did not know what became of him.

aold Abe.v the Eagle of the stb wisconsin.

To THE EDITOR: l see in your issue of the
10th ult. that Carleton" in his description of
the battle of Corinth repeats an old canard
about the war eagle, "Old Abe" of the 9Th
Wis. Soon after the battle an officer of some
Illinois regiment wrote an article to a Chicago
paper, in which he stated that the eagle was
cut loose from his perch by bullet; that he
arose circling aad screaming over the heads of
the enemy and then returned to his perch
There is no truth in this. Though under hot
fire-so hot that we lost about one-thrd of our
regiment in 20 minutes-"Old Abe" was not
cut loose from his perch nor was any color or
eagle bearer killed or wounded during the
whole service of the regiment. " Carleton" also
says he had perch on the color-staff," which
is incorrect. he had perch separate from the
cOlor-staff, borne by a soldier detailed to take
care of the bird. At one time the eagle was in
plain view from the rebel line of battle, and
It's said Gen. Price remarked that he would
rather capture the eagle than whole brigade
of troops.-W. B. MCPHERSON, Co. E, 8th Wis,
