A FoRGER CAUGHT IN ANTWERP By A NEw-YoRK
DETECTIVE.

When Inspector Byrnes got to hs office at Polce
Headquarters yesterday morning he received this dis
patch from Antwerp: "sanbalino arrested scnd
papers. Heidelberg Adoph Sambahno ior-
mcrly was a trusted clerk In the employ Oh DAVID
spero dealer in ostrich feathers at No. 606 Broadwsy'
Several months ago Mr.. Spcro went TO Europe on
business and left his Broadway store In charge VI
Sambalino. Upon MS return. early In july nc was
the steamship pier by his clerk, who sad tna'
all OF his employers account books had oech ae-
stroyed by fire. He had taken the books to his home
In Brooklyn to get them posted up properiss no s"'
and the house had caught fire.
Sambalino was Belgian, of middle age, ana han
wife much younger than himself Mr. spero wrote
letters to his customers and patiently compared .he
bills of sale which had been rcceipted BY sambaino
with the cash returns which the clerk had made. The
work Of investigation slow, on account OF the an-
sence of the books, but Mr. Spero at length was able
to satisfy himself that Sambalino had sold many
ostrich feathers and had pocketed the money re-
ceIved for them. Then Mr. spcro began to receive
forged checks, to which his signature had been
affixed by Sambano.
When Mr. Spero had detected stea]ings to the
amount Of 90, 900 he became alarmed and went 10
Police Headquarters to consult with Inspector Byrnes
A detective was sent to the Broadway store to ar
rest sambalIno, but lie had fed. The officers found
the place in Brooklyn where Sambalino had lived and
they kept watch upon the movements OF his WIG.
The woman received letters from Europe occasionally,
and the detectives concluded that they were written
by her husband
When her trunks were taken by an expressman to
Jersey City and marked baggage on the steamship
Begenland Antwerp, the detectives felt sure that
she was about to join her husband in his native land
The steamship was to sail on Saturday September 3D.
II was arranged that Detectve-SergeaDt Heidelberg
should go Europe also and arrest her husband when
she met him at Antwerp. Heidelberg concluded that
he could 20 by the French steamer La Gascogne which
sailed on the same day, and get to Antwerp ahead OF
Mrs. sambalno.
La Gascogne beat the Belgenland in the race across
the ocean by thrty-two hours, and Heidelberg had
plenty of time to be at the wharf In Antwerp wnen
the Belgenand arrived there. Sambalino must have
been little asonished when he went TO meet MS
wifo only TO fall info tho arms Of Heidelberg In
spcctor Byrnes said yesterday that extradton papers
were ready and would be sent to Antwerp as soon as
possible, but 1t may take several weeks to get sam
balIno back here for trial. The r0gues steahhes
probably amount to $4,000.

to the profession of literature and the stage.
She acted in several country theatres, and at

light through the press of a provincial pub

in the way of fiction and essay, before Lady

There had been some difficulty in regard to
the opening novel, in consequence of which
the new periodical was upon the eve of post

of its extensively advertised date of publica-

an Italian or a German who patronized the
tailors of his own country who even ap-
preached remotely to being well dressed
Some of the Italian swells that noticed at
the stations as [ passed through wore sienna
red overcoats, lined with light red and orna-
mented with cheap muskrat collar and cuffs
Put under this light check suit, striped

style of swell of the smaller villages of
Italy.
In the larger towns it is not much better
The men have a tendency to flaming plaids
and extraordinary checks, and have per-
feet passion for wearing overcoats loaded
down with the cheapest and insanest looking
fur known to the trade. Their clothes are
nearly all ill fitting and badly made. The
most picturesque are those who still adhere
to the cloaks, which they wrap around them
after the fashion of the conspirators in the
opera. You very rarely see a high silk hat
in Italy, and only occasionally stiff Derby
The hat is generally a soft felt, similar in
shape to that worn in the far west of the
United States. But it is generally more
flaming in color. Dark green and terra
Gotta red are very common colors worn.

of Stonewall jackson in 1861 and 1862. TIE
following description of the men by whose
aid Stonewall jackson drove three federal
armies, under Gems. Shields, Fremont and
Banks each of them stronger numerically
and infinitely better armed and found than
his own-out of the Valley of Virginia in
1861, was written from Stonewall Jackson's
headquarter by an English eyewitness,
who was accompanied by Lord then Col.
Wolseley: LAS we advanced, the road was
thickly crowded by the refuent tide of sick
and furloughed soldiers. Such gaunt, wan,
bony, famished skeletons, many of them
shoeless and hatless, almost all in rags, the
fame of life burnt down to the socket, the
eyes deep-sunken and lustreless, the hair
m .tted and tangled like wild beasts it
had never been my fortune to encounter
efore en- earth. Suffering, hungry. thirsty
and reduced as the poor fellows were, not
word issued from their lips.' With men OF
this stamp Stonewall jackson held the
Valley of Virginia securely month after
month, against armies collectively out
numbering his in the ratio of eight or
ten to one, al d with them he marched
over hills and across rivers, by night and
by day, until no federal general lay down
to sleep without a misgiving that when to
morrow's dawn broke Stonawall jackson
might burst on his flank or centre and
strike panic into the hearts OF the invaders
of Virginia. With them Stonewall JacksYn
descended with astonishing raridity from
the Blue Ridge, and joined General Lee be-
fore the seven days of battle around Rich
mond, in 1862, which ended in the total
discontinue of General Mcclellan. How,
it will be asked, were Stonewall Jackson's
"foot-cavalry" equipped? Not in the same
manner as the English Infantry which, on
June II 1775, attacked the raw American
levies posted on Bunker's Hill, near Bos-
ton, and carried their works, with tremen-
dous loss to the assailants, who, according
to Mr.. Charles Ross, the biographer of
Lord Corvallis, moved to the attack in
heavy marching order, with three days
provlslols III heir knapsacks, and carried
aitoge ther weight of 125 pounds" Bun
ker's Hill was fought on a fearfully hot
day-the climax f the torrid summer of
America-and the British regulars of those
days wore the leather strap or neckcloth
which, even IN the temperate climate of
England, no one would regard otherwise
than as an instrument of torture. Very
different was the equipment of Stonewall
Jackson's men. A loose jacket a soft and
outrageous felt hat, blanket rolled up
and slung diagonally over the shoulder
aud tin water bottie-such was the pre-
para ion for battle, for skirmishing, for
climbing hills and 70: ding rivers with
which the Virginians, North Carolinians,
Georgians and Alabamlaus who constituted
the ''Stonewall Brigade" achieved wonders
to which few parallels can he found in the
history of war. Londoxa Telegraph.
