The man is short, thick-set man there
is nothing about him to attract attention.
He is the most commonplace man | have
met for some time He is simply leaning
against a pile of boxes, trunks and the
like, at railroad station. Upon first
glance he looks ike sleepy old fellow,
who may have dian more than fagon
of rum, or he may have walked long
distance, and, therefore, he is fatigued. AS
any one approached him in the crowd he
looked sharply, and then seemed TO become
oblivious.
That man is one of the sharpest de-
tectives in the State of Massachusetts,.
"What are you doing there % is the
question asked.
Quickly, without moving muscle, with
out looking up, he answers, in a low, dis
tinct voice: Don't speak to me now; Pm

Presently the crowd gets thicker. The
sleepy gentleman by the trunks becomes
suddenly aroused. He moves about very
rapidly among the people. Hardly is
there time to walk ten PAGES when he has
disappeared The train thunders into the
station, and the people go aboard. The
man was nowhere.
That night one of the boldest burglars
was arrested and lodged in Jail. He was
arrested on the train, and by the sleepy
man.
The arrest was accomplished thus: AS
a rough-looking man with tin pail in his
hand walked quickly from the depot to the
train the detective followed him closely,
and just as he was about to put his foot on
the step he tripped and fell to the plat

jaws of two lions, placed opposite each
other, embrace the blade and grip where
it presses against the metal sheath mouth.

Singular Divorce Case in Hungary.

A divorce case of more than usual in
terest is just now occupying the attention
of the Courts at Pesth, and of the public
throughout Austrla-Hungary Count
Kinsky, son of the Governor of Lower
Austria, recently married a young lady
supposed to be the daughter of a Hun
garian landed proprietor. During the
wedding trip, however, the bridegroom ac-
cidentally discovered that his wife was not
the daughter of the couple who passed as
her parents, but was really the natural
daughter of Hungarian member of Par
Lament. Count Kinslly asks for divorce
on the strength of decree of Joseph H..
on the ground that he was deceived as
to the relationship Of the lady he mar
ried, and because his right of inheritance
to his family estates would be forfeited
through having welded an illegiti-
mate person. There is much curiosity
in Vienna, as well as Pesth, as to the re-
suit of this suit, which involves an issue of
vital interest to not few of the Emperor's
subjects of both sexes.-PaH 1LaU Gazette
