SOMETHING ABOUT THIS UNKNOWN CHARAC-

Soon after Mr. Wren went to work on the
Cluyerius case Hunter Hunt, the ofice-boy
at the American Hotel, said to him that be

uss note and took Lillian's answer, and
that he was in the habit Of selling papers
around the hotel every morning; that after
bringing the note back to the hotel he had
had never again put in an appearance.
Mr.. Wren then employed Hunt to make
a thorough search of the city for the boy
Several days afterwards Mr.. Wren received
information that alittle colored boy by the
name of johnson, who lived on Belvidere
street, Oregon Hill, was supposed to be the
missing messenger, as he was evidently in
hiding, not having left his home since the
murder, and WHO answered the description
that Hunt had given in every particular, as
to clothing, height, age, and color. There
upon Mr.. Wren, accompanied by Mr.
Meredith and Hunt, called to see this little
fellow, and as soon as he was seen by Hgat
the latter was confident that he was che
identical boy
The boy was about nine years old. He
was very much frightened, and would not
acknowledge anything, but insisted that he
was not the bearer of the note. He was SO
young that he could not remember any
thing, but Mr.. Wren is positive that he is
the right boy, but on account Of his age il
was not insisted that he should become a
witness.
The boy, Mr.. Wren states, is still at his
home, on Oregon Hill.-Rich. Dispatch,

Who knows

It is the impression of many that the
Legislature should apportion among the
counties and cities the expenses of the State
government AID thus, as they suppose,
prevent coupons from interruptipg the reve-
nue. payable directly into the County and
City Treasures, though levied for State
purposes. Now let such as favor this plan
rise and explain the sixteenth section of the
tenth article of the State Constitution,
which declares that "every law which i'm
poses, continues Or revives tax, shall dis
tinctly state the tax, and the object to
which it is applied, and it shall not be suf-
ficient to refer to any other law to fix such
tax or object"
If a law is passed I'M posing such a tax it
shall distinctly stole Ike tog and the object
to whieh it is to be applied. Now will the
advocates of this mode tell whether the U.
8. Courts will hold that it is a tax, substan-
TALLY and in fact, due the State, for the OBJ
ject to which il is to be app led is the State
Treasury, and that the mode is only de-
wise to evade the decisions of the United
States Courts?
Let this question be fully ventilated be-
fore action is taken. Elm the multitude of
councillors there is safety"

AN OLD PRINTER NEARLY BLEEDING TO

running not to the contrary" was zeal
bleeding to-death few weeks since; but

and hope that he may be able to ''set 'em

years yet. The Independent of the 18th
inst, says
"Last week "wednesday night) Capt.
Joseph S. Crane narrowly escaped bleeding
to death. At the time be was an employee
of this Office. In early life he shipped
aboard the "Merrimac" for three.years'
cruise to Nicaragua and the Pacific islands
At that time the man of war vessels were
propelled by sails instead of steam, and
when furling and unfuriing and reefiing
the sails the sailors would cling to the rig
gings by entwining the ropes around their
legs. This, in the case Of Capt. Crane,
burst the veins in his legs and has proven
a source of Intense suffering, and having
finally weakened the artery liberated in a
few moments the other evening nearly q
gallon of blood. He was taken Saturday
to bis brothers home in the Meadows in a
