The fakirs have gotten to be very
troublesome class Of people during the
past few weeks and Richmond merchants
have been victimized in no small numbers.
A new crook seems to have "bobbed up
serenely," and he succeeded admirably
in making Messrs. Jacob May e. Son
poorer in this worlds goods by two pairs
of shoes.
A well-dressed young man yesterday
afternoon walked into Jacob May & Sons
store, No. COZ east Broad street, and
bought two pairs Of shoes, charging the
bill TO Mr. Alexander Camefon's son. 1t
was not suspected that anything was
wrong, and the bill was so charged. De-
velopments since showed that the whole
thing was n fake. and the fellow was
not Mr.. Cameron's son. but a straight
out crook. 1t is believed that the sharper
is the same one who recently treated a
merchant in Manchester the same trick.
Up to a late hour last night he had
not been arrested, and his whereabouts
at that time were unknown.

The Lovlngs OF Henrico County Decline to
Love Further.

There is pending in the Circuit Court of
HenriCo county n suit for divorce under
the style of Loving, who sues, against
John w. Loving" The snit was insti-
tuted on Monday morning last, but the
true facts in the case only came out
on Yesterday, when Mr.. Loving, the de-
PENDANT in the cause gave to his attor-
neys certain important papers which viii
at the trial have influence In deciding
what is destined to be an interesting case
When l made application at the court
for the bill in the cause, one Of the coun-
sci in the case had taken the papers to
his office and l was unable to learn the
minute facts. Enough was learned how
ever, TO convince me that Mrs. Loving
sues for a divorce from her husband on
the alleged grounds OF cruelty. while there
is a counter suit from the husband
saw some of the attorneys in the case
but after a conference between them
they refused information, giving as their
reason that the publication Of many OF
the facts would be prejudicial to their
case. Could one find out all OF the facts
there would doubtless be startling de-
velopmeuts, but many days are yet to
elapse before such information can be OBJ
tanned.

A TALE OF BOSTON.
Examined and Abridged by Distinguished
English Critic,


Anything about Boston Is more or less
interesting. and so are fashionable people
anywhere. How exciting, then. is an au-
thentic description OF life In Tie most
refined and select 90 ,iAl circle OF that
remarkable city! Such description is
TO be found in a thrilling volume OF fic-
ton. bound in white samite, or something
OF that sort, and called "A Realistic
Novel of Boston Fashionable Life" The
copy before us bears upon the title page
the pink and oblique impress of an India
rubber stamp. declaring IT TO be. or 10 be
part Of, the sixth edition." and II has
a preface which Is quite new inasmuch
as when Mr. Robert Appleton. the au-
thor, wrote IL, five editions" had already
been exhausted and distributed all over
the country" and they had taken only
three weeks TO exhaust and distribute.
1t is partly on account of this preface
that we rescue this book from the COM
mon doom OF criticism. For we learn
therein that the duty Of the critic Is TO
pronounce whether" the presentation
OF embodied ideas is In accord with their
abstract conception" also that the laoor
OF criticism" is largely confined TO
something: that glib or verbose lucubra-
tons. with dash OF sentiment and an
appeal TO explosives. are frequently pass
ed for the dicti OF critics." and that the
Judgment OF such persons Is hazard
out" Mr.. Appleton wisely becomes his
own critic, and. not without references
to Becky Sharp or Lord Stein" and to
George Elliott" ian author, lucubrates
to the effect that his heroine possesses

the woman Of the world. and who Is as

and fascinating In person" She Is, more

ment." Under these circumstances we de-
cline the task OF criticism, prefsrring
merely to give some slight indication OF
how fashionable Boston lives.
