FOUND IN A BAD HOUSE.
After Deserving His Beautiful wife
and Handsome Baby Boy
Crazy With Drink.
HIS DIAMOND RING GONE,
And Every Cent of Money Lost to
Sight.

PHILADELPHIA, October "a sad story
of sinful inf2tuation, ending in debauchery,
serious illness and possible death, has been
revealed by visit to this city of a promi-
nent merchant of Richmond, Va, in search
of an erring son. The young man is we'll
known in Richmond, where he is the hus-
band of most charming daughter of one
of that city's wealthiest citizens, and the
father of promising boy Of three years
and baby girl of nine months. He is
connected with a large manufacturing con-
Germ there, and in the latter part OF last
month, started on a business trip for his
firm, intending to go as far north as New
York. After his arrival in Baltimore all
trace of him was lost Failing to hear
from him his father at the earnest solici-
tation of his daughter-in-law, who was al
most Crazed by anxiety and grief, started
foe Baltimore in search of him. There he
employed private detective, who traced
him to house kept by Pearl Snow, on
North street, which has recently become
notorious by reason of fatal shooting al
fair Il was learned that man answer
ing his description had visited the house
on the afternoon Of September 30, and
spent the night there, He was very much
intoxicated, and extremely boisterOus.
His Name.
He gave the name Of Claude Mechor,
and his residence as New York, though it
was remarked that he had decidedly
Southern accent. He seemed TO have be-
come much infatuated with young woman
boarding at Shows named Mabel Carey.
Mabel, it was learned, came to Philadelphia
on TUESDAY Of last week, and with her was
the so-called Melchor, The young man
spent money freely, and for several days the
couple were on an interrupted dcbauch.
Found.
They were traced to No. 1886 Cherry
street, where they secured board, pretend
ing TO he man and wife but remained only
one night. Then on account Of their
drunken orgies, they received notice to
leave, and prepared to 10 so.
Melchor it is said, went out during thu
afternoon, ostenrbly to get cigar, and
promising to return for his so-called wife
but he failed 10 rcappear. Yesterday he
was discovered, ragged broken down and
generally demoraNLed, in low groggery
on St. Mary street. The clothes he had
worn when he left Richmond had been re-
placed BY delapidaed suit evidently pre-
viously worn by an Alaska street tramp, who
had made the exchange on his own terms
A diamond ring had been taken from his
finger, and he had been robbed of his watch
and pocketbook He WAS suffering from
consumption contracted during his debauch,
and he may never recover.
His father met hlm al the detective agency
whittier he was taken, and the meeting was
very affecting. Both father and son wept
like children Promises OF better conduct
in the future, complete reformation. &c.

Fewer Corks Than Formerly.

Nothing to-day" the barkeeper OF
an east side bar-room sung out to an old

reporter of the New York Sun, who had
just ordered a whisky sour, asked.

ssHe's a land mark around here. Guess
it's full fifteen years ago since / first saw
HIM. He dosen't look day older now
than he did then. The boys used to
like him, and they'd save the corks.
I've sold him many barrelful. Now
adays the poor old fellow don't buy
more than a few at time, and don't
seem to have great deal of capital to
invest in his business"
lis there much traffic in old torks?"
"All the old corks are bought up, but
there is not the trade in them that there
used to be. I remember when [ used to
save barrel week, but now / don't
get together barrel of them in three
weeks"
''Don't people drink as much as for
merly?"
sob, YES. In old times the beer bot
ties used to have corks. Now they are
closed with patent shoppers, which can
be used over and over again. Imported
ale and porter are about the only kind
of malt liquors for which corks are used,
We don't sell enough champagne to
have many corks, and we depend al
most entirely on soda water, ginger ale,
and sarsaparilla for nearly all that we
have"
"What is done with the old corks?"
'sLittle ones are cut out of the big
ones, and the scraps left over and broken
corks are used, [ am told, for many
purposes. Sometimes they are cut into
small pieces and used for stuffng cush.
ions, and sometimes are burned and
made into black powder, which is used
for painting"

Stupid Sayings of Great Men.
from the London News. ]


In a preface to the recently issued
letters of Gustave Flaubert we learn
that Flaubert had prepared a kind of
dictionary of "the stupid sayings of
great men" Some of these are ex-
quisite. "Water," said Fenelon, sis
made for supporting those prodigious
edifces that we call vessels" Dogs,
according to Bernadin de st. Pierre, are
generally of two colors, so that there
may be no danger of confounding them
with the furniture of the house. The
same author remarks that the flea sk1ps
by instinct on Hght-colored objects, 9th
erwise we might never be able to effect
his capture. " Shakespeare himself, !"
says La Harpe, ''with all his coarseness,
was not without reading and informa-
tion." ''The wealth of country" said
NAPOLEON Ill, "depends upon its gen.
eraI prosperity" Chateaubriand was
ready to admit that Bonaparte was a
great winner of battles, though outside
of that the smallest general was more
clever than he. GAS soon as French
man has passed the frontier" says Ha-
vim profoundly, che enters on foreign
SOIL" More might be cited, but this
will be sufficient to show that the genius
who remarked on the singular coinci-
dence that usually brought fine rivers
to the neighborhood of great towns was
not alone III his glory.
