A CONFIDENCE TRICK.
How a COnfiding COlored Man Was
Robbed by a Pair of RascaIs.

Robert Graves, colored farm hand, whose
home is near Harris Post-office, Louisa county.
Va, went to Pittsburg two years ago, where he
worked on the railroad. During his stay there
he saved what money he could, and yesterday
he started for his home with s4s in his pockets
after purchasing through ticket He arrived
here this morning on the B. and o. railroad,
and thea went to the B. and P. depot to take
the southern train. While sitting in the sta
ton he made the acquaintance of "white
gentleman" who was going to Fredericksburg.
After conversing some minutes the stranger
said that he had his baggage and
some goods he had purchased at
the hotel and asked Graves to
go with him and assist him with the bundles to
the depot. When the couple turned the corner
Of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street another
man approached them and presented bill to
the stranger. He had nothing in his possession
but check for $780, The second man, or the
merchant, as he was called, could not change
the check. Turning to Graves the stranger
asked, "Have you any money in your pocket"
eyes, indeed" answered Graves. 'How much
have your" asked the stranger. 'Here it is, ;"
said Graves, handing over his S4s. The
stranger then explained that if Graves would
60 to the depot and wait for him he would soon
return with the money and pay him. He told
Graves that he would come with his wife and
child; that his child was lame, and should his
wife enter the depot before him he (GraSes)
would know her by the lame child.
''And if she does get there before" said the
stranger, '.you tell her that will be there in a
few minutes"
GAN right" was Graves reply.
He returned to the station and watched for
the stranger or his lame child. He missed the
train and waited so long that he attracted the
attention of gentleman to whom he explained
what had happened. He was sent to police
headquarters, where he detailed the circum-
stances under which the confidence men got
his money, and Detectives Raft and Horne
started In pursuit Of them.

A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.

Every effort is being made to induce Speaker
Carlisle to arbitrarily refuse to recognize
Weaver any longer for motions to adjourn
&c. But if this can be done to Gen. Weaver
now it may be done to Mr.. Carlisle when his
party is in the minority. 1t makes more
dangerous precedent than the change of rules
to suit a situation. 1t would also be, on Mr..
Carlisle's part, going back upon the position
he took in protesting against such arbitrary
action by Speaker Keller. Some such extra
ordinary action seems, however, the only
thing that will make the House master of it.

MERIT is often an obstacle to per-
sons rise in the world, because it is
always productive of two bad effects
envy and fear. Envy in those who
cannot rise, and fear in those who are
established, and who dreadto advance
a person possessed Of greater ability
than themselves, lest he should sup
plant them. Therefore the fact of a
man being neglected is no mark Of de-
merit.

Intellectual Women as Wives.

Do intellectual women make the best
partners for life2 asks a writer in the
Baltimore Neps. Emerson says sit is
not beauty that inspires the deepest
passion" and Jean Paul Richter de-
clared that he would not lead woman
into the matrimonial moose whom it
would not delight to hear him read the
learned reviews of Gottingen, or the
universal German library, when they
sounded his praise, though it might be
in some degree exaggerated. John
Stuart Mil regarded the institution of
marriage in its highest aim and aspect
as "a union of two persons of cultivated
fa ulties, identical in opinion and pur-
poses, between whom there exists that
best kind of equality, similarity of
powers with reciprocal superiority in
them, so that one can enjoy the luxury
of looking up to the other and can have
alternately the pleasure Of leading and
being led in the path of development.
But other men of genius have thought
differently on the subject. 1t is an
oft-quoted saving of Dr. Johnston that
"a man in general is better pleased when
he has a good dinner on the table than
when his wife talks Creek Racine had
an illiterate wife and was accustomed to
boastfully declare that she could not
read any of his tragedies. Dufresny
married his washerwoman. Goethe's
wife was a woman of mediocre capacity.
Heine said of the woman he loved: "She
has never read line of my writings and
does not even know what a poet IS. "
