The course pursued by Judge Ayles-
worth Monday morning in turning the
vags all loose did not result satisfactor-
lily, as they came up before him
again yesterday morning. They had
made themselves general nuisances by
begging. drinking and quarrelling, and
the Judge concluded that he would not
repeat the experiment, but ordered
them locked up again until he could in
vestigate their cases further.
G.. w. Nichol was in trouble for scat

but paid the fine and took his boss bill

He Ought TO Move West.

Yesterday afternoon certain justice
OF the peace in this city was waited on
by young colored man. The fact, in
itself. is not peculiar but the tale he un-
folded to the legal functionary was de-
cidedly out of the ordinary run of cases.
II was substantially as follows: Several
months ago his sister entered the en-
ploy and went to work for a certain
business man OF this city. The girl was
young. (twenty-two) and comely, albeit
of the blackand-tan order. Some three
months ago the employer hired a house
near Fosters green house to which his
domestic was taken. also a woman to at
tend her in her expected illness. Here
child was born ''of poor but honest (?)
parents At the time of her removal
to this place she assumed the name of a
colOred man. living near the city and
on her recovery went to live with him,
but without having performed the usual
legal preliminary to make such an act
lawful. The brother said he was seeking
to make the father of the child own his
act and wanted the help of the law, but
his sister refused to appear against her
seducer. 1t is said that this is not
the first case of this kind with which
this man has had connection: that in
the others he has been most liberal in
his expenditure of cash to prevent
prosecution. The young protector of
his sisters good name, it appears, does
not protest against her present course
OF living. and in the light of the pre-
viously claimed facts, it certainly looks
like REPETITION OF the old saw, money

The Monkeys of Dutch Guinea.

Popular Science Monthly: There
may be some atmospheric influence
which provokes the males to howl while
the females join in with them. There
cannot be sexual impulse in the mat
ter for that would not make old and
young howl together. l have had OPP
portunities to hear this howling great
many times, and to observe the howlers
from very close vicinity. Every time
there sat an old male up in tree, sup
porting himself on his fore feet and
having his long tail, naked of hair on
the inside for about nine inches from
the end, black and smooth as hand,
wrapped around limb, while other
males, females and young sat beneath
him in a variety of positions. All at
once the old fellow would set up hor-
rible rafting "Rochu, rochu," which,
after five or six repetitions, passed into
believing in which the others would
join and which was loud enough to make
one afraid of losing his hearing. 1t is
so loud that it can be heard on still
nights two leagues off, and it lasts for
about ten minutes and then subsidies.
The roar of the tigers which troubled
Pichegru and his companions so much
on their flight from Cayenne to Surf
nam was nothing else than the bowling
of these apes, which might we'll fill one
hearing it for the first time, and not
knowing that it came from harmless
monkeys, with fright. The bowling
ape is sluggish and melancholy, and
jumps only when it is pursued, while at
other times it climbs deliberately among
the trees, always holding itself by the
tail. When captured young it becomes
tame and contiding, ahd will play with
cats and dogs, but is usually quiet, and

Marshal Guanella returned from

Adams is the fellow who got away with
fine team of gray mares belonging to
Chris Duhr within week after being
released from the pen. His record is
decidedly unsavory, and he will uu-
doubtedly go up this time for IA long

Aylesworth to-day, when he will prob
ably be bound over to the grand jury,

reticent and refuses to talk concerning g

Ages of Well Known Men.

Argonant: Beginning his eighty
third year, M. Ferdinand de Lesseps
can look around and see but very few
men of anything like equal eminence
who are as old as he. The German en-
peror is ninty, Doctor Dollinger is
eighty-eight, Moltke and Bancroft, the
historian, are each eighty-seven; Kos
suth is eighty-five, and Prof. Owen is
eighty-three, but it is not easy to ex-
tend the list. Yet it is not astonishing
to note the large number of living great
men who have passed the ordinary limit
of human life. OF sovereigns the pope
is seventy-seven, and King William of
the Netherlands is we'll on his seventy
first year. OF statesmen Mr.. Gladstone
will be seventy-nine next month, Mr..
Bright is seventy-siX, Prince Bismarck
is seventy-two, M. Jules Grevy is
seventy-four, M. Leon Say and M. Le-
roger are each seventy-one, Lord Shell
burne is seventy-fye, Sir Rutherford
Alcock is seventy-eight, Lord Sher-
brooke is seventy-six; and Lord Gran
vile is seventy-two. OF generals Mac
MahOn is seventy-nine, Lebnuf is
seventy-eight, and Bazaine and Cialdini
are each seventy-six. OF poets, Lord
Tennyson is seventy-eight, Mr.. Brown
ing is seventy-fve, and DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes is seventy-eight. OF
musicians, Verdi is seventy-three. OF
engineers, Lord Armstrong is seventy
seven, and Sir John Hawkins is seventy
six. OF painters, Meissonier is seventy
two, and finally of showmen, Barnum is
seventy-seven. Perhaps, however, Mr..
Chevruel, who is fairly started on his
lO2d year, ought not to be omitted.

"The Gila monster is almost as thick
as your leg and about eighteen or twenty
inches long" said naturalist to San
Francisco correspondent the other day.
1T has head which is pretty near all
mouth, and opens clear back to its ears.
The head is about rs big as half Of u
cigar box, set with little. vicious eyes,
and the mouth Is powerfully muscled
and set with four' sharp fangs and a lot
OF grinders. The color OF the monster
is reddish, with brown spots. 1t has a
blunt tail, as nearly all poisonous liz
yards hove. J found these Monsters liv-
ing in the hot hand. They are not
good to fool with, and man who
is in the Gila monster business must
know what he is about. One day
last June pulled up from the hot
desert to little ranch on the Colorado
river. The man who owned the place
had pet Gila monster which he kept
in n barrel. He stopped down to get
him out to show him TO me and some
friends of his who were there, and the
monster shut down on his thumb. He
gripped it SO tight in his awful mouth,
which was like wise, that his Jaws had
to be pried open with an iron bar. The
man only lived a few hours and died in
terrible spasms. Another man bitten
while l was down there, has ever been
since paralyzed in the side. Hardly
anybody ever gets over bite from this
terrible animal. Now, tarantula
makes a bad sore, but it doesn't kill a
man. ! have got awake frequently in
the morning, while camping out, and
found tarantulas curled up on the edge
of my blanket. They do that to keep
warm, but if you are careful about dis
turbing them they won't bite you.
THE horrible reptile called the vina-
groom by the Mexicahs and meaning
smelling like vinegar ranks next to
Gus characteristics. The vinagroom
(thelepholus excubiter). is found IN the
Organ mountains. There is nothing
like it but itself. 1t is a kind of COM
pound of scorpion, lobster and three or
four kindred animals. 1t is four or five
inches long with long, strOut claws, and
is a mottled brown color.
"Talking about strange features of
animal liJe we have on the Moiave des-
ert a turtle that eats grass. 1t lives in
holes in the sand, which it makes to es-
cape the intense heat of the sun
You may take stick and gel them out.
The are the Xerobates Agassizii, just
lately named for the great naturalist a
very pretty turtle that gets on good
feeding to be about ten inces long and
down on the desert last summer where
l had eight or ten of them in an open
pen which she was fattening to eat.
The ate grass like horses. When these
turtles get fat, us they quickly do on
grass, they beat all the frogs or roast
turkeyyou ever ate. An ordinary one
OF these turtles is worth $3 or S4."

Roads that Are Being g"FourTracked

Aso"uS thoS IAAC 1SiuS II Noui-ATdChSu
New York Herald: The number of
four-tracked roads is being incre ased.
Not many mon this since the New York
Central was the only railroad in the
country that had four tracks and ran its
passenger and freight business over
separate rails.
The Pennsylvania railroad is now
completing two additional tracks be-
tween Jersey City and Philadelphia.
portions of the new tracks are already
in use, and it is reported that the
entire line will be operated in few
months.
The New York, New Haven g. Hart
ford comes next. On the section be-
tween New Rochelle Junction and Port
Chester four tracks have been laid and
are nearly ready for use between New
Rochelle Junction and Mamaroneck.
From the grand central depot to New
Rochelle Junction is thirteen miles.
With ten miles now under way, twenty
three out of the seventy-three miles be-
tween New York and New Haven will
be provided for, and the fifty miles re-
manning will be begun as soon as the
section now under way is completed.
AS fast rs the four tracks are laid the
crOssidgs are changed from grade and
maze eltner unQer or overtime ROADS ana
streets. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to abolish grade crossing on its
entire line. Tnder the Con uecticut law
towns are compelled to pay one half the
expense of changing grades at the
crossings. There is strong demand
for an extra session Of the Legislature to
alter this law SO as to throw the whole
expense on the railroad company.
From the Grand Central depot to
Woodlawn Junction the New York New
Haven & Hartford trains run on the
Harlem tracks. Between MamarOneck
and Port Chester the line is being
Strengthened and grades are being re-
duced. 1t is calculated that between
twenty and thirty miles will be saved in
the running time between New York
and New Haven when the curves are
taken out, grades improved and the four
tracks are completed. This road has
the highest per cent of passenger to
freight traffic Of any line in the country.
Its receipts from passengers in 1856
were 4,677 ,O49.9l, while the receipts
from freight were but 81, ,795, ,240.72.

lars worth of candy. 1t was wrapped
up for him and he put n piece in his
mouth, but before he could pay for it
he was taken with violent fit of cough
ing, and for n moment it seemed as
though he would strangle. He went to
the door to get some fresh air and the
coughing gradually lessened. Mr.. Blank
went out to see how he was getting

vender realized the neat little game
that had been played on him, his dan
der began to 'riz" and for the remain
der of the evening the maddest man in

tie Broadway,peanut stand. This is the
latest resurrection of the confidence
man, whose game changes with every
phase of the moon. If he continues his
work in the Bluffs much longer the av-
