It is useless to sny Ivs who they are, their names are house ed, hold words throughout the valley of 1 t the Mississippi. The event shout to be no related is of tecent occurrence. It is hei one of the unnubli-hed histories of see ciime, one of the heart bents underneath (L< the social current of the great city.? inj But the words of the detective invest an< flirt rolollnn ivIlU an in'o? ao f ??/% /* t\\* tent than the reporter can accord it ? be Let him tell the story. sen A lobbery had been committed in the one of our large commercial houses, un- Lo der very singular circumstaoces. The ?ai day preceding the crime, a large amount wa of money had been received, and left ma in the safe over night. I'art of this hai money consisted of $20 and $50 bill*. As Unknown lo any one but the proprie- bri tor, they were marked with n small tcr cross in rod ink in the left hand corner, am Tito safe was locked at night ; in the om morning it was open, the night clerk bet a-lcep, under the influence of chloro ? form, and tho money gotfe. The cash- oln ior was a young inan of high social po left Mlion. and about to he inariied to the tlw daughter of the proprietor. lie alone tur carried the keys of tho safe. It was het evident the lock had been picked, or of opened with tho key. Our observa I s lion? convinced us H was the latter.? Sil Still wo kept our own counsel. At the bai request of the merchant, the whole mat lor was kept a profound secret. It fur tl.fioil our chances of delecting the rob- i tol her that it should bo so. lb-fore we 1 had loft the store, we had settled in our j tai minds the identity of the thief; but it we was n.-cessary to obtain tho pro >f before hei our suspicion* were divulged, or bis tic nrrost attempted. Descriptions of the money stolen were left with certain par ties, tinder whose observation it was most likely to corns if put in circola lit lion, with instructions to detain the ret person offering it, until wo were sent tui for. This was all that could be done at< for the present. We went homo to await developments. Still wc kept our ess eyes on tho cashier. Ho was voting, tin and although he never drank to excess, tin lie was " fast." lie spent a great deal >ul ol money, and, to use a common ox- 11 prcssion, was llie deuce among tlie gitIs. ert Once or twice we saw Itim walking in tli? the squares of evening*, with a veiv po preltv voting Engli.lt giil, tt milliner, toi svotking on Canal street. Tliere was po something very nolicenhlv about the l?y gill's face?a sort of melancholy and bu sadness, that went straight to our hi' hcniis.

Ono day we received a na message in a great burry*, to come to tie the steamboat landing It was late in ihe afertioon, and the boats for St. en Louis were about leaving.

She had just offered them in payment ! fit for her passage to St. L< tiis. I fjt now hi that the cashier was in my clutches.? ie But it was necessary , to proceed carefully and not frighten the girl. As gently as I eoitia, I told her that the ob money she had just offered nl thccoun- 1 tli ter had been stoh n : that it was neces- ; es earv for me to know wliero she obtain- j as ed it. At my woids her face took the hi livid hue of death, but she shook her ' in head as much as lo say she would nev- j to er tell tne. I plied her with importun qi ities, cnlifAled ?nd beggfd ; but it was j b( <.f no avail. I had i.o recourse bit I to | w take her into custody. Still I hoped 16 ar lie able to discover f-orn her the proof m of the cashier's guilt lie was ovi- w dently her lover ; hut I d ubted much fe if she knew his rea' natno or actual pa- .v sition. 1 plied her with questions on p this head, and although .-he was on her <| guard, and her answers were evasive, I J rr was soon satisfied that the real name |*i| of her lover was unknown to her. As j d ] lefi the cell, I heard her mutter in the ir most poignant grief. ii " Oh, Charley, Charley, can this l.e t; true f* J'hi3 was, indeed, his tbst q li ime.

I ( d got all the information I wanted. | I returned, I passed by the theatre, lliantly lighted for an evening's en? tainment. I stepped in ; the beauty d fashion of the city were there. In a of tho boxes sat Charley and his rothed. She was radiant in beauty j he attentive and lover-like. My reslion was taken on the instant. I ( . the theatre hurriedly, and went to i station.

It was a very sad sight. The villagers were gathered round, looking on ?some with pity, some in derision, and others in disgust. The beadle, full of his office, was a prominent figure in the group. One little girl, who had hold of het father's hand, inquired: "Father. why have they put him in the stocks!" " Because he gets drunk," replied thefather.
