Kleptomania.
From thwOhicogo Post.
A kleptomauiacal epidemic seems to have
prevailed in Chicago for the past few weeks.
While it might he consideied harsh to proluce
{lie names of those who have been detected..
it is entirely proper that the facts
should be made public in such a way as to
jxpose.tho deeds and at the same time screen
the airthors from the mortification of a diu;racc
for which they arc not responsible,
md should not )>e called to public account.
A merchant's wife,-a lady who resides on
the avenue, is such a confirmed shop-lifter
that h< r husband never permits her to go
upon the streets without an escort is employed:
to watch her movements, and prevent j
her from indulging in the gratification of au i
unnatural desire to steal. In defiance of j
this watchfulness, the lady occasionally j

i tour of the shopping emporiums. About
two weeks ago she visited one of our largest
iry goods stores, made a few trifling purchases,
and at an opportune\ionieut folded
up and secreted under her cloak a valuable
camel's hair shawl. The article was soon
missed, hut no one knew the culprit, although
the ejerk gave an accurate description
to the detective who was employed to
trace the matter out. About a week after
the larceny was committed, the officer attended
McVicker's Theatre, and saw the
identical shawl, worn by a lady, .corresponding
exactly to the one described. She i
ivas accompanied by her husband. The defective
was confident that he had discovered !
the thi^f, but not caring to creator ''scene," i
tie determined to delay action until the per- [
formancc was over, and the woman and her 1
jscort were on their homeward way. To his- j
reat surprise, an elegant private carriage '
iwaited them at the door, and the liveried j
joachman drove them to a marble frout resi-,
lence in cue ot" the most aristocratic neigh-'
jorhoods on the South Side. The officer !
slept over it, and finally determined to make 1
ia investigation, let the consequences be
.vhat ttqy might. Early .in the morning he
repaired, to the house of the rich merchant,
md informed the seavant who attended the
loor 'bat he desired to see the lady of the
muse. The gentleman bail just descended |
he richly-carpeted stairway, and was natu ally
> urious to know what a good lo .king,
lushing young fellow wanted, at that early
mur, with his wife. When, therefore, the
ady appeared, she was accompanied by her
nystifjpL husband. Politely, doubtingly,
lie messeiiger of justice said: "I shall have
,o ask your kind forbearance, for the busiicss
that brought me here is of a very deli:ate
nature. May I ask, madame. where
,-ou obtained the shawl you wore at (he
theatre last evening?" The woman said not!
i single word, but sank upon a sofa, and <
nirst into tears, accompanied by hysterical
iobs. Knowing her propensity, her husband
it once comprehended the situation of afairs.
Conducting the {officer to another
ooin, he related many instances of a similar
niturojstatcd that his wife never knew what it
vas to want for anything that money could
purchase, but that she never let an opportulity
to steal pass unimproved. ''Tell |
Messrs. (naming the firing to send j
he hill to me, with all the expenses, and it
shall be paid." As a matter of course, the j
mfortunnte lady's misdemeanor was lortked '
j pun a.* .1 misfortune rather than a fault, :
md she is now watched with greater pre:autioii
than before.

week a woman, dressed in height of fashion
.and having every appearance of respectability,
was detected in secreting a necktie in
her muff at a store where a great sale was in
progress. At the same establishment another
female, when questioned, tearfully confessed
to having appropriated, scvoveral dollars'
worth of siuail articles. In both instances
they were permitted to return wh.it
they had taken, undor the charitable inference
that the larceny was the result of
temporary aberration of mind. The extent
of this fearful and deplorable mania cannot

Were the whole truth known, kleptomania
would take a front rank among the
glaring features of this age of strange and
unaccountable illusions.
A man representing himself as a United
States detective eante to grief in Sumter a
day or two ago. He pretended to have discovered
a violation of the revenue on the
part of a colored man keeping store there,
and after a show of arrest, compromised
with the clerk upon the payment of five dollars.
When the owner of the store was informed
of it he sought the party and demanded
the return of his money. This being
refused, he had the pretended detective
arrested and lodged in jail.
Tho Coati-Mondi.
Sailors front South America occasionally,
among other pets, bring, a small animal,
which, on account of its long nose, they invariably
call an ant-eater. Tints was a little
stranger introduced to our care a few
years atro. A glance was enough to see that
it was no ant-eater at all, but a pretty female
Coati-Mondi. Gallant Jack Tar, her
master on ship, unconscious of the incongruity,
bad made a namesake of her. and
called her-Jack. Science had already named
her Nasau, and in a matter-of-fact way, for
frho word interpreted just means?Xo?ie.
The animal was about the size of a cat. with
a coarse fur, of a brownish hue ou the back
and sides, and underneath shades from yellow
to'orange. The long tail was ornamented
by a series of black and yellowish-brown
rings. Her nasal prominence reminded me

His "counterfeit detector'' was a sensitive
proboscis. By sticking (his organ into the
glittering heaps, he literally "nosed" out
the bad from the good. To that man his
nose was the instrument of his profession,
and to Nasua her nose was equally important.
It even prompted a nick-name and n
juvenile pun?".Vesica nose knows too
much." *
I'nnppcasably inquisitive, she was incessantly
intruding thai organ into everything.
Having made no allowance for an extra
tropical temperature, this little South American
made a failure in an attempt to lift
with her nose the lid of a pot in the cook's
domain. The next attempt, a successful one,
was on the knife box. whoso closely fitting
lid was pried open, and every article inspcced,
in happy ignorance of the proverb about
edged fools. It'was enough that anything
was hollow to excite her curiosity, which
was of a thoroughly similar typo. The dinner-bell
