DETECTIVES .ExoEERArED.
The Romantic story Of a Couple
Arrested mt the Palmer HFouse.

Arrested mt the Palmer HOuse.
CHICAGO, May 8.--Mrs. Bertha Odqers
has addressed a letter to q certain detec-
tive agency here exonerating them and
her aunt, Mrs. DIR. Sarah Hackett Steven
son, from all blame for her arrest at the
Palmer House on the night of April 18th,
last. On the evening in question Bertha
Shoop, who was visiting her aunt,
Mrs. Stevenson, at the corner of
Erie street and Dearborn avenue, left
the house in the absence of Mrs. Steven
son. The detectives found the young
lady in the Palmer House registered as
the wife of George p. Odgers of Palo,
Ill. Upon the refusal of Odgers TO pro
duce marriage papers, warrants were
issued for the arrest of the couple, and
they were taken in custody by the detec-
tives. The matter, so the letter states,
was speedily cleared up by proving
the marriage and the parties were re-
leased agreeing to temporary separation
by the way of trial of their affection"
for each other. In her communication
Mrs. Odgers says she and her husband
were not dragged off to sweat box as re-
ported in some of the Chicago papers, nor
treated cruelty or unkindly by the detec-
tives.
The version of the affair as originally
published was that Mr.. and Mrs. 0dgers
were dragged from their bridal chamber
in the dead of night, after the doors of
the apartment had been broken in by
detectives under instructions from Mrs
Stevenson.
The young lady is still in her aunt's
care.

In an article entitled From Bach to
Wagner" in the May 50. Nicholas, Agatha
Tunis relates: Handel was born at Halle,
in Saxony, February 23d, 1855, Unlike
most OF the great musicians, he does not
seem to have inherited his talent; his
father was barber and surgeon, nor
can we discover in the family any special
love for music. Handel, however, seems
to have been "a born musician; he turned
everything he touched into sound. For
some time he astonished and amused his
parents and all who heard him; but as
his love for music seemed ever to grow
within him, his father, who had destined
him for the law, banished every musical
instrument from the house, and declared
that the boy should hear no more of them.
The boy, however, managed to smuggle
clayier, or key board of clavichord,
organ, or pianoforte, into the house,
and hid it in the attic; and night after
night, when all in the house were asleep
he practiced on the mufiled keys, teaching
himself until he could play upon it with
much skill. About this time his father
decided to visit a relative attached to the
household of the Duke of Saxony al
Wessenfels The Duke was very devoted
to music, and Handel, who had probably
learned this fact, implored his father tc
Jake him, too; but in vain. Nothing
daunted by the denial, the persistent little
fellow ran after the carriage until his
father discovered him and took him in

Says the Boston Herald. The sect of
Republican Pharisees was not dispersed,
nor taught the uselessness of its hypocrisy
by the hard knocks of the last election.
Here is an organ of the sect at the west,
for example, claiming that, "whatever
the President has done in the way of
lustifying his election, and refuting the
idea that it WINS mistake and calamity, I"
has been done by " behaving as a Repnb-
lican President might have been expected
TO do" If there were a euphemisln for
ridiculous rot, we should employ it in
characterizing such talk as this, What

New York;. 10000 Night workers

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger writes as follows re-
garding the $4,000 night toilers, tramps
and outcasts of the metropolis, and the
necessity of some move looking to their
betterment: Will it be believed that the
working population of this city who
follow their respective avocations by
night, is not far from 10000, that is to
say, about double the entire population
of New York at the close of the Revolu-
ton? Add to these the tramps and out
casts and we have 10000 more. The
churches are beginning to think it is
about time something was done on behalf
of this vast army of after-dark
toilers and human beings with
out homes, and before long 1 am
informed an important movement de-
signed for their benefit will be under
taken, and in way too that will be likely
to command the united support of all
denominations. With reference to the
matter the Churchman pertinently re-
marks: Whoever is abroad occasionally
at midnight, or in the early morning,
must feel deeply impressed by the whole
subject, and realize the danger incurred
by the failure 10 deal with field of such
immense proportions. We send mis-
sionaries to China, Africa and Japan,

wrapped III red tape and securely bound,
was found in an out-of-the-way nook of

mislaid and was nowhere to be found.
The box had been in the vault for many
years. and had been almost forgotten.
The services of n locksmith were secured,
and on opening the box it was found to
contain bottle of diamonds, bottle of
pearls, bottle Of altar of roses and a
lump of gold. One of the older employees
identified these MS articles which Ind been
