Begging on a Grand Scale. ,

man named S ^~, who lived in a somewhat"
luxurious style, ami had organized, 1
by means of letters and deception, n system '
Of begging on a large scale. This man, who
.occupied sumptuous apartments in tbe<junr- <
Iper St, Honoi'c, had, in various other localities,
rooms meanly fnrWWied. As if his bits*
iness waaT^rfectly legitimate, he ke|>t account

His t|ay books showed ? 1st, the date

lie had the art of expressing himself according
to the disposition of those addressed.
If it happened that one of those persons sent
to hir address money, he took advantage of
it in the following manner.
lie dispatched the note-to a friend or acquaintance
of tho writer, with the rotquest
that it might be immediately returned ^
to him, as it-was a sacred matter. The note ;
was then circulated from hand to hand ; ns ,
it was authentic, therecould he no doubt that1
the writer was convinced of the reality of the j
misfortune to which it related, and his or her ,
generosity was llieme of praise.
Often, instead of soliciting assistance for!

concocted story, assumed an honorable name, j
and, in oruer to snow ins signature tor a oon-1

had often repeated this m.incLMivre successfully,

Scene in Court.
Ar about two o'clock 011 Saturday, the jury

the murder of Mulhias Smith, and who had
h?cn <d*u* up t'rom about 51 1-2 p. m. of tlu.'
previous Thursday, came iuto the court and
rendered a verdict of not guilty. The scene
will not soon he forgotton by those who witnessed
it. The faithful, affectionate wife of
the prisoner, who throughout the trial has
never for a moment absented herself, stood
weeping and wailing by the side of her husband
to hear the result?to her, as to him.
itu announcement of fcarfut importance. A
breathless silence, broken only by the sobs
of this p a?r woman, reigned throughout
the court as the clerk, in a clear and solemn I
voice, said, "Frederick Loeb'g, stand and |
h dd up your right hand.' The prisoner,!
pale and agitated, but sustained by his affectionate
wife, did as lie was directed. The
clerk continued, "How say you, is the prisoner
guilty of the matter were of he stands in-;

stated, and tio sooner was it known than

down in the arms of hW affectionate wife,
she scarcely knowing what, to do?almost
beside herself with joy kissed him over and
over again ; and, as if this were not enough,
rnshed Jbrward and seizing the bauds of the
counsel who defended him, bathed them with
her tears. Truly has the jioet suit!:
"Oh, women, lovely woman
Mature made you to temper man,
There's in you all of that we believe of heaven,
Eternal love and everlasting faith."

and a> the prisoner and his wife left the

A party of four men met in Broadway, a

following confab ensued :?

Humbug is ^penally defined "deceit
or impositiuli. l bugtar who breaks
intd'your honseyft forged who cheats
you of your property, or a r*?cal, is
not a humbug; a humbug is anipiposter';
but iu my opinion the truFmeaning
of humbug is management?tiujt^rto
take an old truth and put it. in. attractive,
form.
But ho humbug H$ great vfithout
truth at the bottom. The woolly horse
was a reality, lie was really born
with a woolly coht. I-boughtr him in
6Tiucinnati for $500 and sent him onto
Cbnnetticut, but for ^ a long-time.!
doubtodwhat I should do with him,
and foarod that ho would die on .mv
hands. JiiBf at this time, in 1849, Cw.
Fremont and his party were reported
to have l>oen lost among the flfccky
Mountains"; the public was greater excited,
but shortly news came that lie
was safe. Now came the chance jfor
the Woolly horse, i '. > ; *.-> *, ?
It was duly announced that after
three days' chase upoti the borders of
tlie Kiver Gila, an. anithul had been
captured by the quartermaster of (Y>1.
Fremont's party, who partook in a
singular degree of the nature of the
butfalo, antelope and camel. This story
was so far true, that I was myself
the quartermaster who captured liiin,
and I charged a quarter for the sight.
The picture outside the exhibition depicted
the animal as jumping over a
ledge of rocks; now if the animal- hod
really leaped, as shown in the picture,'
he must have passed over a space of
live miies. To have believed that he
could have survived such a leap, would
have been the grossest humbug. \
But Cbl. Benton, who understands
no humbug but his own, arrested my
scheme, and prosecuted mo for obtaining
money under false pretences, as

uiu nurse was 1101 nui it proicsseu ru
be ; but I think wrongly, as the peojtfe
who saw it wore satisfied, and they get
the worth of their money.
Now the scientific humbug should
know the precise moment to act as I
did, or the world would never have
been blessed with a sight of the woolly
horse.
When the woolly horse arrived from
Connetticut, he was put in a stable near
Lovejoy's Hotel. One of the boarders
who camo to see him recognized him
as an animal he bad seen at Bridgeport.
"Go<?d heavens he cried, "? nave
seen that animal before : it is reall y au
extraordinary humbug." lie took up
a friend from the same hotel and atWr
he had seen the animal, let him into the
secret, and in succession thirty-sevdn
persons were carried up, all of whom
took the humbngginig in good humor)
except the last man.
I nave not the vanity to call mys8H
a real scientific humbug. I am only
an humble member of the profession.
My ambition to be Prince of Humbugs
I will "resign, but I hope the public
will take the will for the ueed; 1 can
assure them that if I had boeA able to
give them all the humbugs I have
thought of, they would liaVe been ah*ply
satisfied.
Before I went to England wiLk.Tom
inn mo I naa a skeleton prepared from
various bones. It was to have , been
made 18 l'eet high ; it was to have bqen
buried a year or so in Ohio, and tlicfc
dug up by accident, so that the public
might learn that there were giants of
olcf The price I was to pay the person
who proposed to put the skeleton
together was to have been $225.
But finding Tom Thumb more successful
than l thought, I sent word not
to proceed with the skeleton. My
manager, who never thought as highly
of the scheme as it deserved, sold the
skeleton for $50 or $75.
Seven years afterward I received
from the South an acconnt of a gigantic
skeleton that had been found. Accompanying
it were the certificates of
scientific and medical men as to * the
| genuineness. The owner asked $20,000,
or. $1 ,000 a month : I wrote to him
if brought it on I would take It if I
.found it us represented, or would pay
his expenses ifmot ; I found it was mv
