In passing through tho Central Po

correspondent noticed the captain of
the detective ferce engaged iu earnest
conversation with a bright und iutelli j
gent little boy. There was somethieg
so earnest and siucerc in the little fel
low's countenanco and a grace so re
uuirkablc in his every movement that
instinctively I paused to take a second
look at him. The face was diinty and
ovul, tho eyes full and sparkling, the
nose Grecian, the lips full and delicate 1
[ ly moulded and the forehead crowned
with a wealth of coal black hair. *A'
little Italian lad,' I thought to myself;
'tho fair serf of some cruel and heartless
padrone caught plying an illegal o< oup i
titui uj on the Btiecl and brought before
a justice to explain*
'Let me tell you,' said oflicor Lsvy.
?I made her arrest this morning; found
her away up in the uitie of :i shooting

erauched behind a partition like a lit
tfoanimal. I broHghi her from the
Mrooting gallery to the office. She put
her bunds in her pockets walked,

in the pedestrians hurrying along not
the slightest suspicion of her sex. I

tier answer was plain, straightfor
ward aud frank, bright, honest and hu
niorous. 1 give it in her exact words.
'My parents are German and thoy
are very old, they, aro also vejy poor,
it was as much asthcy*could do to sup ?
port themselves. Often I havo looked
upon my poor mother and pitied her,
she was so eld and her family so large
to keep. 1 am only sixteen. One day
I thought I could ussist my mother by
going out in the world and working for
myself. I told her all my thoughts, and
she said that I might go. She kissed
me when I went away aud told me uev
er to forgot that 1 was a lady and t tint
she was my mother. I went to 11 ich

?Why?' I asked.
'Well,' she answered 'modestly, I did
not want to be insulted, and I (Thought
a boy's outfit would protect mo better
than a girl's. 1 just laughed when 1
put the clothes on, though,' sho con
tinucd, smiling, 'because everywhere 1
placed my hands there soeuied to be a

steamer bound for Philadelphia, and,
telling him how poor I was and how
much 1 wanted to help my mother, 1
asked him if he would not let me pay
my way to the North by working upon
his vessil. Tho Captain was very kind,
and told me I was to young to do work
aud that ho would let mo ride just like
a passenger. The Captaiu never droam

'were you not in consant dread of being

?No,' she answered. 'Why should I

no one e\er ioui d me out. I have

much as L couid spare. Ask th? Chief
of Police if he will not let mc write a

' Such was the story ISertie told me.
The police oro.-S- ^icstionod her and
found in her statements no discrepnnees
or contradiction*. Her idenity was dis
covered by a party residing near her
home, who informed tho police, and
bi ought about her arrest.

Phii.adei.i'iiia, March 5, 1S74.
The sketch of.Bertis vV inkier, wliieh
appeared in the Herald of to day aroused
no little interest in the community,and
created in her behalf no small amount
of sympathy and regard. The story of
this little waif, who e t her ho; e -imply

who drmed herself in male attire
simply because she felt that she could
I better support herself, end protect to a
f illcr'extont her position and horvtrturo,
the purity of which a as identified with
every stngo of her career; and the bright
besa and good nature which glimmered
through ber character, were ull so pure
and sterling, and graced hero and there
with 80,111 lieh poetry and romance, that
the plain, unmiihollishcd statement ol
this same found its way directly to the
hearts of the people, and brought to the
central headquarters of the po?co a
great many contributions for her sup
port. All at once every one seemed to
feel a personal interest iu the girl, and
dozens upon dozens have called to see
her during the day. Each one who
made a visit loft something behind, and
ia counting the monoy placed in his
hands to buy her an outfit, Captain
Heine, at noon to-day, found that ho
had seventy-five dollars.
: T?Uow did you fare last night ?" I
asked this morning.
"Oh, very Will," she anwo|d. "I
went home with the captain, hyi a nice
supper, a splendid warm baih and a
good sleep. I hid been ma T'oxoitcd
during the day and didn't jt$pect to
sleep much, I thought'that I/would bo
troubled with dreams, but T wjjruot. I
did not owakc until nbout eight o'clock
this morning. The captai^ had a
daughter about my size, and i '.tried on
a suit of her clolhi.ig. I fou&l them a
little too long, and besides tK?y fit ine

when 1 am out of it I don't fad at home.
I trivd to tart my hair injthe middle
just as I used to do when al^iomo with
my mother. I didu't gottthmg very
well though, for it wanted tfe turn over
on one sido and stand rightfltraight up
on the other. When I laude up my
mind to be a boy my huirtfas tho only
thing that worried me. pit was loug
then, and fell in big wtrjLis upon my
shoulders. 1 didu't darofiogo to the

barber's you know, for i*would have
been just tlio same as giving away my
secret. I didn't know juit what to do
for a long time, but at last } plaited it in
two long twist, and then cut? them square
eff with the scissors. Then niter this I
went to the barber's ai d had it out
shorter still."
During the day many letters have
been received from disinterested pai;ies
praising Dertie for her spirit aud hero
ism, and offering her a good home. "1
am sure you are a good and generous
girl," said one letter from a lady, ad
dressed to Bertie hersr-'f, nud if you
will come to my Iiouf? 1 will do all 1
can for you." The police have taken
such an interest iu hor that they will
be exceedingly partiouh*? what becomes
of her Several proprietors of restaur
ants and saloons .*& exceedingly
anxious to acquiro her sJRyicors, but tho
authority, will iio^a^Jf'V such offers

To? morrow Hirtie will drop her name
of Louis, and will be provided with nice,
now clothes. Contributions are com iug
quite literally, and this little one is
likely to bo well provided for, ? .Y. 1"

Mauageincnl of Docks.
Having raised nearly all the loud iug j
varieties of ducks fur the last six or j
eight years, aud iu very limite I acuom
modulious, perhaps I can make plain
my nicth.d to all interested. A great j
deal has been written about the iinpor j
tance of large pond or stream iu raising
ducks, and the folly of keeping them j
without such water. Iu my own case
I have proved by experience that a tub
or pail kept full is all that is necessary
to real ducks with perfect success. 1
have won numberless prize* upon ducks, ,
which have never been in water since
they were hatched. With regard to the
duck hoi sc, many standard works on
poultry advise a grouud or brick floor iu
preference to one of plank. 1 havo
tried all three plans, and find that the
ground or brick floor in a duck house
will bring on paralysis, rheumatism uud
many other complaints.
1 have the floor of my house made of
inch plank, ruiscd ouo foot or more
from the ground, on stone piers, thus
advoiding nil dampness. This plan,
also, enables a terrier to "elettu out" the
rats, which would otherwise burrow
under the building. Iwirge-W i n d o w s
Uro placed on tho south, the doors open
ing under such windows, opening to i
small "run," or "w oldie." In winter
the floor is covered with a thin bedding,
of buy?in summer with saw-dust,
which, being an excellent itbsuibont,
renders the air at all times sweet and
pure. When the bedding becomes foul
it is swept out and the floor washed
with Kot wafer. I raise the Hollen,
Crested Cuban, Musk, and common
breeds, each, of course, having a sopiir
urte apartment?that of the Musks being
provided with rooming poles.
The best egg-producing food is
another important point in raising any
variety of ducks. After buying every
kind of ' grain, I have found that oats
will produco large number* of eggs
where all other food has failed. Tho
best way to feed o:.ts is in a pail oi'
water ; the exercise given the ducks by
feeding in this way will keep them in
perfect health. With this treatment my
Miisk ducks weigh, whon grown, viz :
males twelve and one half to fourteen
pounds, females nine pounds. My pri o
dtpoks ut the Connecticut show in 1869;
1870 arid' 1872, -weighed a tritio'Wr
the above' estimate. Different breeds of
ducks vary in the time of incubation,
Rouen, Cnyaugn, Ayelsbury, and com
uion duck egg's hatching- in four weeks,
while those of Musk (improperly eallod
Muscovy) take five weeks. Tlioir eggs
should generally be set under hens, artd
Brahmas nre best for this purpose, being
more steady setters and better mothers
The first food for ducklings when hatch
ed, should be the yolk of a hard boiled
egir, and when a week old oabm?al is
exeellont for thotn. When young, they
should bo cooped up until the sbn is up,
on account of* the wet grass, which
chills and ruins m ore young f?wls of all
kinds than any other cause. ? When,
throe or four weeks ' old, they may be
liberated with tho riiother and they will
soou learn to go with old ducks.' Duck*
lings should never be housed at night
with the old ducks, as they ure liable to
persecution from them.. With this care
I have had great success, aud doubt not
that others will have thesama.

Tho Condensed .Milk Man.
Cail Borden, the "Condensed Milk"
man, died in Colorado county, Texas,
on Sunday, January 11th, in the seveuty
third year of his age. Mr. Borden Grst
came to New York from Galveston,
Texas. Tu lSr>0 he iu vented what is
called meat biscuits, containing in the
smallest possible space, all the nutritive
ol the beef or other meat used in its
manufacture. After thorough tests',
both iu this couutry aud Europe, the
highest authorities pronounced the
"meat biscuit" an excellent article, ro
tatning unimpaired the nutritive proper
tics of its constituents. A council medal
was awarded at the great exhibition at
London in 1851. Tho report on tho
subject says: ;*A more simple economi
cal and efficient form of.portable con
centrated food than tin: A mencau meat
biscuit, lias never been brought bef.?re
the utiblic. Mr. Borden toiled ire ;s
.?antly, ami often under great discourage
incuts, iu producing Umk article, but he
.?tili saw a defect in it, which was the
Hgeiicy used in dedication After
further xporimenfs for several years, he
perfected a pro -ess by which pure bro h
is relUecd to a solid form. He next
turned his attention to making conden
sed milk. Preparations of milk were
known in Europe ami in this country,
but they were too co-.tly to admit of
general u-o, und moreover, foreign sub
stances were introduced which were less
nutritive than now milk. Mr. Borden
was the u an to overcome all obstacles in
this matter, and he set to work with
great zeal aud confidence. Iliscxperi
incuts were long and expensive, but he
at length succeeded. The first factory
which he established was it Litchlicld,
Connecticut, and the demand for the
milk still increased. Iu 1860 mere
extensive works were erected iu Duchess
county, New York, on the line of the
llnrlem Railroad, where three vacuum
pans wer? employed, capable of working
5000 gallons per day. Another factory
was established at Brewsier's. Southeast,
Putnam county, another at I.ivormore
If alls, Me., and another at Elgin Kane
county, Illinois. The two latter having
each a capacity of 2000 gallons per day.
At the latter place there is also a
factory for the manufacture of extract
of beef.
A Disheartened Insurance Agent.
A family named' Komper moved into
a house io our ro'w'hi.st week, writes Max
Adtl-r, and lleiljamin P. G mm, tho life
insurance agent, who lives in tho same
ro\vjw'ts the first caller. He dropped in
to see it he could not take out a policy
lor Mr. Kemper. Mrs. Ketupor came
down to tho parlor to see him.

Kemper lias no insurance on his life."
"No," raid Mrs. Kemper.
"Well, I'd like to get him to takoout
a policy iu oui company. It's the safest
in the World ; the largest capital,
smallest rates and biggest dividends."
"Mr. Kemper don't take much inter
est ii such things dovv," said Mn K.
"Will ma lam, but he ought to, in
common justice to you. .No man knows

"Not lately."
"May I ask if hobas any consider?

"Then of course he must insure. No |

"No, he keeps very quiet."
"Man of steady habits, I 'spose ?" ,
"Very steady."
"He is just the very man I want," saijl
Gunn," I know I cun sell him a policy."
"1 don't think you can," roplied Mrs.
Kemper. .
"Why ? When will he be home 1
I'll call on him. I don't knowaay
reason why I shouldn't insure him.".
"I kuow," replied Mrs. K.

the c widow. Then Gunn.left all of a

Attempting to Get a Husband.
Bottlebury, of Carnden, will never
drive into the creek to save another Wo
man from drowning. He saw a girl
named Sparks tumble in the river the
other day off a boat, and ho instantly
plunged in after her, caught her by the
dross aud swam to the shore with her.
As soon an they wero on dry land Miss
Spuiks gave a hysterical scream, flung
her arm arouud Bottlebnry's neck and
fainted. Just then the father came up
with the rest of the family, and perceiv
ing the situation, he dashed up to
Hottlcbury, grasp d his hand and said,
"Take her, my boy, take her ! It is.
hard to give her up ! It wrenches hor
obi father's heart; but she is yours.
Ulms you, my children, bless you I"
Then Mrs. Sparkd cried, aud she said
she hoped Harriet would be happy.
The .Sparks manifested their cmotiou*
by climbing up Uottlcbury's legs aud
pulling his coat tula, while:Harriet
come to, and laying her bend on Uottle
bury's shoulder aud whispered : "Kiss
me, darling." Uuttlebury umazed and
indignant, tore himself awuy and fled.
He was arrested that afternoon on a
charge of breach of promise ; and on
trial tho jury gave Miss Sparks two
hundred dollars damages. Bottlebury
has intimated to his confidential friends
that if any other woman intends to fall
overboard uoar him, she will find it tu
her udvantage to L-arn to swim firat.?
