A NOBLE GHOST. John, Earl of Tyrone, and Nicola Hamilton, afterward wife of Bir Trist ram Boreaford, were born in Ireland in tbe reign of Obarles II. They were almost of the same age and wetb intrust ed to the oaro of the same person, by whom they were edcoited in the prin ciples of Deism. Their guardian dying when tbey were still young, they fell into different hands. But, though they were now separated from esoh other, their friendship remained unalterable, and thay continued to regard eaoh other with a sinoore and fraternal, or rather oousinly affeotion. After some years had elapsed and they were both grown up, tbey mado a solemn promise to oaoli other th*t whlohevcr should dio [^Pl>vonlA ffi.pt riiiiltijj) I'ipimw* UJ 'UKT other, in orucV to declare to nim or hor what religion was most acceptable to the Supreme Beincr. Miss Nioola was shortly after married to Sir Tristram Beresford, but no condi tion could alter their friendship and the families frequently visited eaoh other. Daring a visit to tho lady's brother-in law at Gill Hall, near Dromore, in the vear 1688, Bir Trietram remarked when his lady camo down to breakfast that her oomplexlon was unusually pale, and her countenanoe bore ovident markn of terror and oonfusion. He inquired anxiously after her health, but she as sured him that she waff perfeotly well. He repeated his inquiries and begged to know it anything had disordered her. She replied, 'No, no; I am as well as usual.* 'You have hurt vour wrist; you have sprained it?' acked he, observing a black ribbon bound round it. Sho replied that she had not, but added : 'Let me oon jure you, my dear Tristram, never more to inquire the cause of my wearing this ribbon; you will never see mo honoeforth without itl Jf it oonoerned you as a husband to know the reason I would not for a moment oonoeal it. I never in my life denied you a request; but of this I must entreat jou to forgive my refusal and never more to urge me further on the subject.' ?Tery well, my lady,' said he, smiling: 'sinoe you so earnestly desire me I will inquire no further.' The conversation here fndcd. Lady Beresford inquired eagerly if the post was oome in. She was told it had not arrived. In a few moments she again rang the bell and repeated her inquiries. 'Is not the post yet oome in?' Bhe was again answered that it wan not. 'Do yon expeot letters?' asked Bir Tristram, 'that yon are so anxious about the ar rival of the post?' 'I do,' she answered. 'I expeot to hear l?ord Tyrone is dead; he died last Saturday at 4 o'olook.' *1 never in my life,' said Bir Tristram, 'believed yon to be superstitious; but you must have had an idle dream whioh has thus alarmed you. ' At this moment a seivant oponed tho door and delivered a letter sealed with black wax. 'It is as I expeoted? -he is dead.' Sir Tristram opened the letter. It was from Lord Tyrone's 8 toward, and oontaincd the melanoholy news that his master had died on the preceding Saturday (October 14, 1608) at the hour whioh Lady Beres ford had sp?oifl6d. After a period of some months Lady Beresford had a son, whose birth Sir Tristram survived little moro than seven years, dying in 1701, and after his death his lady seldom went from home; in faot. she visited no family but that of a gentleman in the neighborhood, named Gorges, With them she frequently passed a few honrs. Tho rest of her timo wan entirely devoted to solitude, and sho appeared determined forever to banish all other scoiety. The family consisted of himself, his wife and one son, who was about her own age. To this son (who became Lieutenant-General Gor ges, of Kilbrew) aftor a few years sho wan married, notwithstanding the din pal ity of a oonncotionso unequal in most ronjpeots. The r vent justified the expectation of every one. Lvdy Haresford was treated by h? r husband with contempt, and even with cruelty; while at the samo tlmo his whole conduct showed him to be the most abandoned libertine, utterly destitute of every principle of virtue and humanity. To tliis her second husband Lady Beresford brought two daughter-', after whioh. in oonsoqncnoe of the pro fligacy of his conduct, sho insisted on a separation. They parted for several years, when so great waa the contrition whioh he expressed for his former be havior that, overcome by his persuasions and promises, she waa induced to pardon and once more reaide with him, and some time after she became the mother of another son. The very day month after the birth of her child boing ihe Anniversary of her oWn birthday, she seht for her daughter, Lady 11. vers ton, and a few other friends, to request them to spend the day with her. 'For,' said she, 'I am forty-eight to- day , ' 'No,* answered the olergyman, 'you are mistaken; your mother and I haVe had many disputes ooneerningjohr ogo. So, happening to go into tb.o par ish church wherto you were baptized, I was reBolvid to put an ond to my doubts by eearohing the register, and I find I that you are but forty-seven this day.' | 'You have signed my death warrant! ' replied she. 'I have not much longer to live; I moat, therefore, entreat you to leave mo immediately, as I havti some thing of importance to settle beforo I diet' Wheh the oler,ymon had left Lady Bereeford Bh? soot to put off bor com pany and at the same time to request LadyBetty Oobbe and hereon, of whom Bir Tristram was the father, and who was then about twelve years of age, to come to her apartment immediately. Upon their arrival sho desired her at tendants to quit the room. ' I have something of importance to commutii cato to you both,1 she said, 'before I die, for my end is not far distant* You, Lady Betty Oobbe, are no stranger to the friendship that always subsisted between Lord Tyrone and myself. We were eduoatod under the eamo roof in the principles of Deiem. When the friends into whose hands we afterward fell en deavored to persuade us to embraoe re vealed religion , their arguments, thbngh they failed to convince us, were power ful enough to stagger onr faith and to leave U9 wavering between two opinions. In this perplexing state of doubt and uncertainty we made a solemn promise to each other that whiohover should die first would, if permitted by ? the Almighty, appear to the other to deolaTe what rttligioh was most ac ceptable to him. Accordingly one night when Bir Tristram and I were in bod I waked and discovered Lord Tyrono sit ting by my bedside. I screamed out and endeavored to awake Sir Tristram. ?For heaven's sake, Lord Tyrone,' said I, *by what means and for what purpose camo yon hero at thiB time of night?' ?Have you forgotten our promise, then?' said he. 'I died last Saturday at four o'olcok, and am permitted by the Su preme Being to appear to you to assure von that revealed religion is the true and the only one by which you can be saved. I am further permitted to inform you that vott are how with ohild of a Bon which is dccreed shall grow up and mar ry ray niece. Not many years after the ohild's birth Sir Tristram will die and you, his widow, will be married again to a man by whose ill-treatment your life will be rendered miserable, ifou will bring him two daughters and afterward a son; you will die In Child- bed of that son on completing your forty-seventh year.' ?Just heavens!' etclaimed I, 'and oan not I prevent this?' 'Undoubtedly,' said he, 'you can: you ate a free agent and may prevent it by resisting overy temptation to a second marriage. More I am not permitted to nay. But if, a', tor these warnings yotr porsiet In your in fidelity, you will be miserable indeed. ' 'May I ask, said I, 'If you are happy?' 'Hud I beon otherwise,' said he, 'I should not have been permitted to ap f>ear to you thus.' 'I may, thereforo, nfer that you are happy?' He smiled, 'But how,' said I, 'when to-morrow morning come*, 6hall f be oopvinoed that your appearanoe thus to me has been real, and not the mere phantom of my own imagination?' 'Will not the news of my death bo sufiloient to con vince vou?' said he. 'No,' said I; *1 might have had such a dream, and that dream no3ordingly oome to pass. I wish to ha\e some strong proof of its roality.' ?You shall,' said he. Then he waved his hands, and tho bedonr tains, whfoh were of crimson velvet, wsro instantly drawn up through a large iron hook, by which tho tester of the bed, wliioh was of an oval form, was suspended. 'In that,' said he, 'you oan not be mistaken, for no mortal arm oould have performed it.' ?True,' said T; 'but as in sleep we are often possessed of greater strength than when awake? asleep I might have done it, and I shall still doubt. He then said : 'Yon havo a pooketbook btre, in whioh I will write; you know my handwriting?' I roplied, *Y?)S.' He then wrote with a poncil on one side of the leavea, 'Still,' said I, *1 majr doubt it; though waking I o^nld not imitate your handwriting, asleep I might.' 'You are hard of be lief,' said he. 'I must not touoh yon; it would injure you irreparably. It is not for spirits to toneh mortal s flesh.' 'I do not regard,' said I, 'a slight blem ish.' 'You- are a Woman of o enrage,' said he, 'so hold out your hand.' I did so and he struok my wrist, his hand was as oold as marble. Jn a moment tho siuews shrunk up ? every nerve withered I 'Now,' said he, 'while you live let no mortal eye see that wristl It would be saorilege. ?Ho stopped ; 1 turned to him again, but he wait gone. I folt chilled with horror. I endeavored to awake 8ir Tristram, bnt in vain. All mv effort* were ineffectual, and in thin state of agi tation and horror I lay for some time, when, a shower of tears oomlng to my relief. I dropped asleep. In the morn ing Bir Tristram rose and dressed him solf as nenal without perooiving, or at all events without noticing the state in whioh the onrtains remained. When I awoke I fonnd Bir Tristram had gone down stairs. *1 arose, And having pnt on my olothes went into the gallery adjoining our apartment and took from thence a long broom, with whioh I pulled down, though not without a great effort, the curtains, as T imagined their extraordinary con dition wonld occasion- many inquiries, which I wished to avoid. I then went to my bureau, looked up my pocketbook and took out a piece of black ribbon, whioh I bonnd ronad my wrist. When I came down the agitation of my mind had left an impresnion on my onnte* naren too visible not to be remarked by Hir Tristram; ho instantly obwervod my oonfuslon and asked tho cause. I Assured him that I was nnite well, bnt ilkformod him that Jjord Tyrone was now no more, for that )io had died tho prtoding Haturday at the hour of four; atthasame time I entreated him to drop all inqui ries e moerning the black ribbon, fie desisted ever after from fnrther ques tions on the snbjecV ?You, mv son, as had been foretold, I afterward brought into the world, and a little moro than four years after your birth your ever-lamented father expired in my arms. Alast I have this day heard from indi?pntableanthority that I have lain tinder a mistake hithorto with re gard to my age, and that I am butforty aoven to-day, Of the noar approach of my death, therefore, I have not the least doubt; but I do not dread ite arrival, armed with tho SAored principles of Christianity. I eut meet the king of terrors without dismay and without a tear bid adieu to the regions of mortality forever! ^Wben I Am deid I wish that you, L ?dy Rvarston, w< tild unbind my wrist and let my sou with yourself be hold it. 1 . ' Lady Beresford here o*ased for tome time. An hour panned and all, was silent ih het room. In about haif an hcUr more a bell rang violently. Th?ydew ! to the apartment ; but beforo they reached the door they hoar J the servant* ezolaim, 'Oh, she is dead! my mistress is dead!' Lady Biveiston then desired the servants to quit tho room. Bbo ap pro* ched the bed with Lady tieresforfl's oon. They knelt down by the sido of tho corpse, and Lady Biverston then lifted up her hand, unbound the ribbon aud found her wrist exrbtly in the state whfoh Lady Beresford had described its Binewa shrunk up and every nerve withered. L*dy Beresford's Bon, Marous Beres ford, as had been predioted, on growing up to manhood married Lord Tyrone's nuojand heiress, Lady Katharine Le Poer. In due o^urse of tisae he was oreatod Karl of Tyrone, and his son was afterward Created Marquis of Water ford. The pccketbook and ribbon worn by the unhappy Lady Beresford were long in the possession of Lady Betty Cobbe, by whom the above story was cjnstantly related, and who, together with the other members of the Beresford family, now the representatives of the Earls of Tyrone, will be ready ev?*r to attest its faots. Lady Elisabeth Ci bbe, it may be added, was the youngest daughter of Matcus Earl of Tyrone and sister of the first marquis; she married in 1751 Thomas Oobbe, Esq.. of jtfow bridge, County Dublin, and died at an advanoed age at Bath in 1806. Tennyson and the Queen. Speaking of Tennyson's hospitality, a reoont aneodote runs thus: Her ma jesty tho queen announced it to be her good pleasure to honor her poet laureate with a visit. Unfortunately she did not say precisely what day she would arrive. In duty bound the tVhole fam ily were put into their best 'bib and tuoker.' The children agonised in their b?st rig and were rigorously 'pent' indoors; Mrs. Tennyson was bedecked with her state raiment, and the great author himself waa gotten np to perfeo tion and in tbelatest invention of his tailor. Four or five days went by in the same atmosphere of expectation and grandeur, but no royal guest oame driving up. At last it became unbear able. Ordinary manners were pro ol aimed; everybody sighed with relief and flung aside too violent etiquette with too belaoed and betibboned uttire. The ohildren resumed their intimaeiee with mud-pies and rooking horses. Mrs. Tennyson began to enjoy a novel and a wrapper, and oasting Aside roroanoe, Mr, Tennyson took up a hoe and began to weed bis garden, and with glomag ohoeka and animated eyes tried to make 'two bln ui of grasa grow where before therr ? ? only one.* Of wnjrae when evei ? iM.ovi was fogging along. ia tb4> ?' ? o ty .ad homelike way the queen and i her oort arrived. At first there was a general flutter of fright and ezoite ment. Eveiyboiv was embarrassed and ill at ease. But the grand old fellow, ooming up to the houee with silled hands and sweat-drops on his lofty brow, made it all right in a few words. 'My sovereign, we expeoted you for several dayB, and were prepared to reoeive you as should become those honored by nheir queen; but to-day we did not know of your intention, and are therefore only so far prepared as loyalty and love can make us.' It is needless to say that the visit was a very pleasant affair, and, we doubt not, far better enjoyed by so sensible a woman as Qaeen Viotoria than it would have been had it been attended with oourtly formality and state. Pen Picture of Napoleon. The memoirs of Madame do Remasat, who was lady in waiting to Josephine, and was oonstantly thrown in the society of the hero of Aroola, have Inst been given to the world by her grnndohildren, and attraot much attention, She thus deBoribes the emperor: Bonaparte is of small statne ana not well proportioned ; the upper part of the body seeming to press npon the lower portion. He has Boanty oheetnnt brown hair, and gray bine eyes. His oomplexlon waa yellow an long as he was thin, bnt later it be came a dead-white, without the least oolur. The expression of hia forehead, tbe sotting of his ejes, the lines of the noBe ? all this is fine and reminds one of antiqno medallions. His rather oommon month becomes attraotive vhen he langhs. His teeth are regular; his ohin aomowhat short. He has small feet and hands, which mnst be noticed beoause he takes good euro of them. In stand ing and walking he benda a little for ward. Hia eyes, usnally doll, give to his face when in repose a melan* j oholy expression, but when he is angry his glanoe beoomes suddenly sharp and threatening. Hia smile beoomes him well; it disarms and rejuvenates his en tire person, and in suoh momenta It is difficult to withstand his winning ex Eresoion, so changed and beautiful is is oountenanop. His olothing waa always simple. Usually- he wore the uniform of his Guard*. Cleanliness was with him more a matter of syttem than of inclination. Ho bathed frequently and often in the middle of the night, beoause lift thought it good for his health. Distinctions Withont a Dl^erenoe. When John Dalton wan a lad, Elihn Robinson invited him to join a young man named Alderson in ntndjing at his house of an evening. A dispute arising between tho two students as to the work itig out of a difficult problem, Alderson o'.iuohed hia argument by offering to bet Dalton nixpenet he waa right. Ob ji eting to betting, Mr. Robinson vetoed tho proposition, but suggested that wh'ohever proved in the wrong should And nAndlea for both during the winter aeanon. although where the difference lay, save the stake involved was larger, we fail to see. One of Brougham's earliest appear ane s an an advreite was in behalf a man aoouaed of stealing a pair of bootr. The evidenoe as to the theft was eotelu sive, but Brougham contended that his client must be ??quitted, the articles stolen being half-boots, whioh he argued were not boots any more than a naif f;ninea was a whole guinea, or half a oaf a whole one. Lord E*k grove, knowing his man, guessed that ha waa being played upon, so without asking the prosecuting ounsel to reply, he at otioo overruled the objeotion, saying: "I am of opinion that 'lx>ot* is a woman general*, comprehending a half-boot. The distinetion is between a half-ooot and half a boot. The moon la alway the moon, although sometimes she Is a kalf-aaoon, Sermon Stealing. The reoent prominent cane of sermon appropriation in Chioago baa stirred up the ministers and debating societies all OYer the eountry, and sooiety is enriohed iHth many curious stories of experience in reghrd to stolon setmohs. An A mer e m preacher visiting Eng land H)me time pgo, KCJompanied bis friends to Lear n London pulpit celeb rity. At t ho ok-ee of tbo Fervico they .MKQd him, triumphantly: 'Did you over beAr anything like that in America?' ? Tho next morning he returned from an early walk to the I rcakfnst tablo and answered tho question by reading a pottiou of a sermon by Dr. Greenwood, the fumous minister ot the Btone Chapel in Brston. T(?o Evangelist tells ft good one: 'A Univerealist clergyman, now in high standing, is said to have entertained his people on one occasion by delivering one of Dr. Dick's astronomical leotures, and on auother by repeating tho subBlanoo of ou? of I)r. Ohapin's olrquont dis couxf er. A few years ago ft Boston o >n gregntion wbb astonished at the loamiag displayed in tho sermons of a youthfnl candidate, to whom they wero about to giVoaddi, when a schoolboy told his father that a part of tho preacher's ser mon was a pi?oj which he had learned in order to- declaim, and sure enough the congregation had been ediflol by one of Frederic*! W. Roberteon'B dis courses.' Tne Methodist has pickod up several pleasant incidents on the praotice of 'borrowing:' 'A miniBtor coiupjing a prominent pulpit reoently preaohed a sermon whioh greatly pleased his audi ends. One of hiB parishioners, with great self-gratulation, eulogized the ser mon in the presenoe of another minis ter; a few questions wero asked, and tho next day tho ministor gave the eulo gist a paper containing in f nil tho ser mon with which ho was so greatly pleased, but his pastor was not the au thor. A minister already invited to one of tho leading pulpits or tbo ohuroti is reputed to quoto liberally without giving due oredit. Upon an important "c.>a ?ion he delivered a sermon of remark - able beauty and power, all the material of whioh was obtained from a obapterin a book to be found in very many minis ters' libraries. An fi-presiding elder and dootor of divinity at a conference session preaohed with great unotion a sermon taken bodily from a volume of sermons whioh was in the library of more than one of his hearers. A prenoher now ooonpying a metropolitan palpit, upon exchange with a brother minister, prodno?d a profound impros I ion by delivering in a masterly manner ? s<rmon whieh his deceased father be f t>re liim had been Wont to preach with remarkable power, and which was pub 1 shed in a memorial volume with other <f his father's productions.' The editor of its Baptitt Weekly has I ?en abroad, with open eyes and ears. ] re heard a visitor preaoh before a Ban tlnkamfooiation in New Jersey a splendid k trai'n, A venerable pastor expressed Ilmpn?m to give twenty -five oents lor k ? of It. A not) \$r sttg f tested, privately, it oould be had for ess, being a sermon of Dr. Hawes', published in the old 'National Pulpit.' At an installation in New Jersey a Bap tist minister gave the audienoe a sermon on the d ffioulties of the ministry, whioh was a slavish following out of one in tho 'Handlist. In New Xork one evening he heard a pastor give one whioh the fame book supplied. He further says that in New Jersey a Presbyterian pastor gave to the press a temperanoe lecture of Dr. Onylers as his own. He adds that he knew a Presbyterian pastor in New York oity,' now deoeased, whose noarly every sermon was taken bodily from Topfady, Guthrie, the 'Homilist,' or any volume of sermons he could lay hands on. The Sew??*f Woman Vindicated. Every and then we hear of a woman who has plowed and Bowed and gathered theoropu of alarm snooeeBfully, and the fair tiller of the noil comes in (of a round of favorable oomment, juBt as though there were not thousands of w6min in large oities who aooompliahed fBr greater things.

There is a tendency with gentlemen toward wearing lighter shoes: instead of the very heavy, tire's double soles of the English Bhoes so long in vogue, the soles are now only moderately thick, and tho toes aro moderately pointed rather than Bquare. The buttoned shoo remains in favor, with its low, square heel. Calfskin shoes aro for general wear. For dress ties thoBe of narrow black satin, folded an inoh wide, are as often Bold for gentlemen as those of white lawn. This is an English fashion that has been gradually coming into vogtie here. The ends of these narrow ties? both blaok and white? aro hemmed straight across, not pointed, and there is no hemstitohing or embroidery on the wbito ties. Satin is the favorite fabrio for gen tlemen's scarfs. Bilk is now very little used. The Olaudeut is the popular sdarfjthis is an improvement on the flat folded Stanley scarf, like a shield, with the band around the nv-k ; it is curved at tho top to fit under the oollor, has round oorners, and iB quite small, as there is only a small opening left by the vest to be oovered. The first choice is for figured satin in Oriental palms, arabesques, oiicles, or stripes, in min gled red, old gold, blue and green; then Roman eflfeots are ohosen in stripes across, or elBe there are blcoks of blaok or blue satin alternating with blocks of oashmere oolors. Singular Restoration After Many Years. An aged cnuplo in Midway, Maes., had a morry Thanksgiving. At the outbreak of tbe war their only son ran away to sea, and seivod under Farragut at New Orleans and with Gushing in tho Albemarle exploit. Here all trace of the sailor was lost, aud it was supposed that he was drowned in the river when the torpedo exploded. Hia sister died a fev ago, Kate, been living in Late on Wednesday night a man with a scar on his fee 3 knooked at tho door and requested a lodging. Ho was admitted by the old lady, who asked her aged husband to entertain the stranger while she was moking a oup of tea for him. The stranger kept his hat on, aud the old lady noticed that his eyes followed her overy movement. To the old man he represeuted that he had formerly lived'in the neighborhood. When asked his name he gave an evasive answer, but asked if James Merrisk lived there yet. ?I am James Merrisk,' answered the old man. The old lady had been watching the stranger o'.osely. Defore he could utter another word she stepped quicklv to his side, lifted the hat from his head, gazed a moment into his fees, and sank ioto the arms outstretched to receive her, loudly rsreaming, 'Jim! Our Jim!' ?Yes, your Jim; oome home for thanks giving,' eiolaimed the stranger, as he kissed the aged face with joy, and turned to hia father, whose frame was trembling with gratitude. After a while he related the eventrul history of his wanderings. He had been severely wounded by the explosion of the torpedo, ae the roar on his face testified. He was pulled from the river by one of the boata which came to the relief of the crew of the Albe marlo. He lost his senses by the con cussion and wound, but after the latter healed he was permitted to*go at large as harmless, knowing nothing of him self, not even his home. Finally he fell into tho employ of a former surgeon of the Confederate army, and with him went, to a plantation outside of Itileigh, N. O. One day, however, the surgeon examined his wound, and determined to try an experiment. He opened the wound in the head, and found the skull fractured and pressing in the brain. With the aid of another surgeon tho skull was lifted or trepanned, and the wound again olosed gradually. Merriak's condition improved, but it was fully a year before his memory returned. A Thrilling Episode, During tho sitting of tho peaoo com mission in tho investigation of the mns saore of Agent Meeker and others bv tho Utos, General Adams finally ad dressed the Indians, making a speech of over an hour's duration, saying, among other things, that the commis sioners did not want to puniah Oolorow, Jack, and others who took part in tho Thornburgh fight, but tho oowardly dogs who partioipatod in the massaoro of the unarmed mon at the sgeney, closing by saying, 'We want those Utos, and wo will have them.' The Indisns held a consultation in a low tono of voioe among themselves, but did not seem to bo inolinod to re ply at all. (Jen. Hatch ngain asked if the guilty Indians wero to bo snrren d< red, saying ho had mado the last ap peal. No one moved or spoke for a fow moments, when Oolorow lighted a big pipe, tho 'pipe of peace.' !?', loll In dian drew hia knife and laid it on his knees, the question of peace or war be ing the one pending. Oolorow then par.Fod the pipo to tbe next man with out smoking, and it went round tho eir olo. When tho eirole was finished, he jumped to his foot, straightened up to his full height, pulled his belt around until the knifo-shnsth wss in front, and snatching his knifo out, threw it quiv oring and ringing U|>on tho floor. In stantly overy Indian present laid his hand upon his knife or pistol, the whites following their exsmple. The two par ties stood fronting and defying each other for some momenta, eaoli waiting for tho other to make a forward move. There wero only six white men in the room r while tho Indiana numlnored V>, though there were lf> soldiers in an ad joining room. Finally Onray spoko: 'Wo o?n not deliver up those Indiana unless they are tried in Washington; they must not be tried ip Colorado. ' Tracing and Recovering a Memento. A young lady of Lambertville, N. J., has in her possession a gold dollar, with a monogram inscribed upon it, whioh has been tho subject of a great deal of attention. It whs attached to a bracelet by a chuiu. One evening iu tho latter part of i'ebmary last, after a sleighride, she misst d it. Tlie broken chain showed how it lia.i disappeared, ?? Search was made, but it was of no avai;. Finally an aiiv ?riieement caught the eve of an habitual loafer about town. He went to tho houso and informe 1 tho servauUat the door tbat ho had fouud tho dollar below tho frt< ps of tho sleigh tho morniug after tho ndo and had speut it for whisky at ono of the saloons of tho city. Tho friends of the young lady determined to ttud tho dollar if possible Tho saloonkeeper remember ed receiving tho money, but ho had pail it to a butcher. The latter recol lected paying it over to a drcver in Trenton. The address of tho drovor was secured and a letter written him, requesting a reply at once. It came, with the information that ho had pur chased a ticket to Philadelphia with it the very day the Ij^mbertvillo butcher gave it to him, and that the Trenton ticket agent had remarked about tho monogram. Tbe search was continued. Tho agent remembered tho dollar, and said he laid it aside for a fow hours, but as ho drover who paid it to him evidently knew nothing concerning it, it was for warded to the general r-fllce iu Phila delphia with tho daily account. Tho reoeiver of tho New Jersey receipts was next corresponded with. Tho beautiful monogram had been noted, but had been deposited in tho bank, along with other sums of money, HiB opinion was that it oould be obtained from tho cash ier. So interested in tho travels of tho little coin were its friends in tho city that it was resolved to continue the in vestigation. The cashier was commu nicated with. His attention had been called to the initials on tho back of tho dollar by ono of tho clerks, and ho hnd instructed tho olork to plaoo it aside for a few weeks. Unfortuuately, in tho absence of the clerk, a gentleman desir ing several hundred dollars in gold, preparatory to a California tr.p, had been furnished with tho amount, and tho little piece had in some way been mixed with that sum, and gone west ward. The gentleman's name was fur nished. Ho represented a Philadelphia house, and a letter was sent to him. ? The events so far described took place in March, and the remainder of tho spring and all summer passed with no tidings from the loBt bangle. A few days ago, however, there came a letter from Detroit, written by the gentleman who had gono West, whioh stated that his health had been poor, bo that in i toad of returning ni once from Califor nia, as he purposed when ho started, ho had stopped at Colorado Springs for tho Bummer to reouperato. The lettor re lating the aooount of tho dollar had been delayed and not forwarded, bo that he never received it until he reeohod Obtoago. Hw aaiil ho i?u<i Ihw dollar iu Lin po??esRioo, as the moriognflB^p tracted his notice. Tho initials weiw i tho same as thoso of a young friond of hiB, and ho kept the coin on that ac count. Ho promised to send the dollar as should bo directed. He was as good as bis word, und the little gold piece is back in ljambertvillo onoo tnoro. 4 Tramp's Victory. A citizen oT Howard street.
