Editor Herald:
When | ventured TO say or rather
write few things in answer to ''Spike
NaiP' | had no idea that the article
would attract any notice. But "Suggs''
writes and compliments me so highly
that | dare to send you this: if il finds
its way to the waste basket, all right,
if not, and the publication of it does
any good or profits any one, | will be
eratified. If | could only write like
"Suggs!" his pieces read like red. back
ed, gilt-edged books. l like "Suggs," -
you know he praised me some.
But to the point, | was in your town
the other day, and after attending to
what little business | had, | spent the
balance of the day in loafing around,
and L will tell you what | saw:-I saw
men buying -four who ought to sell flour;
| saw hay and corn sold that was ship.
ped here from abroad saw piles of
feed, meal, shipstuf and bran shipped
here for sale. and | wondered what
would have become Of the poor cows if
the steamboat had not brought up these
articles.
Seeing these things put me to thinks
ing. | thought if the farming COM
munity would consider their true
interests, and act accordingly, they
would always endeavOr TO have al least
little surplus of hay, corn and wheat
The hay and corn could not perhaps be
shipped abroad with profit, but it can
be fed to cattle and hogs with profit.
1t doesn't pay much to raise cattle and
hogs till they are ready to be fattened for
market and then sell them to he driven
elsewhere and fed for market No hogs
or cattle ought to be sold from the
county until they are fully ready for
market. The farmer would then get
the full benefit of his labor, and his
farm would be improved. If each farmer
would have small surplus of wheat it
wouid he bought up by our millers and
made into flour, shipstuff and bran, the
flour shipped abroad and the shipstuff
and bran sold at home.
Ii farmers would adopt this plan, and
raise smaller crops of tobacco, think
they would be better off.
There are other thoughts that are
suggested by "Suggs'" article which.
may give you in a future issue, if this
doesn't find its way to the waste-basket.

New York boarding house suddenly

the money freely sent in ty deluded
Irish people resident in this country.
The antecedents of Lucille Tseult

pretend to know them, are contradic-
tory rs well as incomplete. We give
such statements as appear to be trusts
worthy. She claims to be an English
woman, but her mother, as she saws.
was an Irish woman. Truth seems to
be that she is the illegitimate daugh
ter of a French nobleman, and though
born in England has not drop Of En-
glish blood in her vein. Her education
was superior,as her attainments include
knowledge of the French, German
and Erse languages, and her English
is exquisite, perfectly well chosen as to
words and accentuated with the refines
ment of the gentlewoman.
life singular in its romance and
misfortune was injured beyond restoras
ton in her early wOmanhood by the
cruel deception which led her to re,
gard herself as the wife of "a man upou
whom she had no legal claim. He is
said to have been French officer.
That his name was Dudley il more
than doubtful, but she has been known
by it at least for several years. Both
children born of an intimacy perhaps
more unfortunate than sinful, are dead.
The mothers bereavements are be
lieved to have permanently unsettled
her reason, but only at intervals has
it been found necessary to restrain
her.
In 1883 the unfortunate young wo-
man, now only about twenty five years
of age, attempted suicide by poison in a
carriage of a railway train. She was
discovered in an insensible condition,
and was taken "a patient of the Hay
wards Health Insane Asylum, Sussex,
England. An earlier attempt at sui>
eide had been punished by imprison>
ment- She remained in the asylum
nearly twelve months. 1t is said that
during the earlier half of this period of
detention, she was with difficulty pre-,
vented from taking her life. After
her release she learned the work of the
skilled nurse, and in due time was en-
gagged to practice it. Another attempt
at suicide interrupted this occupation,
and she was made the subject of med
ical treatment in the same hospital
wherein her skill had been exercised.
She came to this country in Septem-
ber last, and filled several positions as
nurse, before planning and carrying out
the plot which laid Rossa on his back
in a hospital. Her system was sim.
pie one. She tempted her victim to
meet her by pretending to have money
for "the cause of Ireland" He had two
interviews with her, in the second of
which she shot him.

Damages for Protested Exchange.

From the complaint filed in the Superior Court
yesterday by the Bremen Savings Bank, of st.
Louis, it appears that J. S. McKennan, of that
city, made bills of exchange on j. Is. Sedwick &;
Co.. of Indianapolis The dates and amounts
were Oct 10, 1875, $G07.40 the next day one for
81, 79t, and two days after that the third, for
$2,967 These several bills Sedwick & Co.
accepted, but it is alleged that they remain I'M
paid. 1t is set forth that under Missouri stat
utes damages can be allowed on protested bills
of exchange, when the drawer is resident of
the State, at the rate of per centum of the
amount of principal, but if the drawer is resi-
dent of another State or Territory, 10 per centum
in damages can be assessed. If the drawer lives
out of the United States, 20 per cent can be
allowed, and this judgement for $40, 600 is asked

A JEWELER SWINDLED,
Three Watches Which Young Man Selected
for InspectiOn-A Saleman's CreduIity.

Day before yesterday young man some
where about thirty years Of age, tall, we'll
dressed, and with the manners of a gentleman
called at James n. Mayhews iewelry store No.
% West Washington street. He said he was the
nephew of Mrs. l. P. Evans, and that she was
abont to visit her daughter.
My aunt continued the engaging yong man,
mas requested me to look for an article suitable
for present for her daughter. She has been
undecided as to what TO purchase, but it is prob
able she will buy watch You have several
styles which think will suit her. Now one Of
those three, pointing to them as they lay in the
case before him, II think will meet with her
approval"
watch and said This we can sell at $50. that at
$50 and the other at $75. No doubt the lady
would be pleased with any one of them
Il think she can make choice from the three.
AS she is not at home to-day will you be kind
enough to send the watches tomorrow morning
at IL o'clock to my aunt's residence, No. AIS
North Delaware street, for her inspection?'
Certainly" replied the salesman, young
James Comstock.
'Ah! thank you thank you" and the prepos-
sesslng visitor passed out of the store.
In keeping with his promise, young Mr..
Comstock took the watches yesterday morning
to the residence of Mr.. Evans, and as he was
about to enter the gate the pleasing young ne
gotiator of the day before appeared. He said
his aunt was away from home but would be
back within an hour. Rather than have Mr.
Comstock wait, he would take the watches and
return the two not bought az o'clock in the af-
ternoon. Mr.. Comstock let the watches 90 into
the keeping Of the persuasive stranger, and
returning to the store reported what he had
done. AS none of the watches were heard from
at o'clock the matter was reported to the
Evanss residence as if he was perfectly familiar
with it and the surroundings. Waiting some
distance of a walk for Mr. Comstock to get out
of sight, he hurriedly retraced his steps, came
down to the depot, and took the first train out
1t is unnecessary to add that Mrs Evans has
no nephew; that the swindler had never been to
the house before. and that no one connected
with the family had ever even thought of pur
chasing Mr.. Mayhews watches.
