WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...JANUARY 19, 1878. The artesian well act, which we published last week, has been passed by the Assembly. Its passage by the Senate is highly probable. PROFITING by the experience of Georgia, Virginia is making an effort to attract capital to the State for industrial purposes. Bills have been introduced into the General Assembly to exempt from taxation a certain amount of capital invested in manufacturing and mining enterprises. In the State Legislature Senator Smith, o Los Angeles, offered a concurrent resolution endorsing the President's Southern policy and the course of the Administration in its endeavors to prevent United States Senators from usurping the functions of the President in relation to filling appointments. Referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. The San Francisco Stock Report remarks that Congressman Pacheco has been telling the people of Washington that he formerly found pleasure in lassoing bears, whereas the leaders of society marvel much and are inclined to make him the hero of the social season. The genial Castillian will probably refrain from any allusion to his contest with the mining stock bears, and for obvious reasons. A tract of 7,000 acres of land on the line of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, about ninety miles west of Richmond, has been purchased by a Roman Catholic emigration society, organized in Philadelphia, for the purpose of founding an exclusive Roman Catholic colony. There are thirty-six dwelling houses, two well appointed mills, and some other buildings on the property. We have been furnished by the Secretary of the San Francisco Produce Exchange with a report of the grain and flour remaining in the State of California on the first day of January, 1878, from which we make the following summary: Flour, barrels, 57,187; wheat, centals, 2,646,811; barley, centals, 883,046 cents per acre. Washington Letter. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 5. One thing that is always enjoyed in Washington is New Year's Day. The Presidential reception comes as regularly as the day; the Cabinet officers receive; the minor officers receive, and a vast number of private citizens do the same. There is almost a total cessation of business, public and private, and the day is given up to enjoyment. This year there was more than the usual number of intoxicated persons around town, but the "hard times" probably are responsible for the increase. On ordinary days Washington has not of late been as temperate a city as formerly. Perhaps as a result of this increasing indulgence we have had lately a series of the most atrocious crimes. In one section, thinly settled and for various reasons scantily policed, there have been within a few weeks two murders and two outrages upon young girls. In all these cases the offenders were colored men, and in the two latter the victims were white. The people of that section have formed an association for the preservation of order. The city has not one-half the number of policemen it should have, and the reason for this is the inability of the public to pay for their services. The debt of the District is so large that all we can do is to pay the interest on it. Financial aid from the Government is necessary, unless our schools, our fire department, and our police force are to be broken up. I am not authorized to solicit alms for this District, but its condition certainly demands immediate attention from Congress. The material interests of the District are suffering, too. The late freshets have caused such a filling up of the channel of the Potomac that vessels even of light draft can reach Georgetown only at high tide. For years the channel has been growing less and less, and its usefulness is now practically at an end, unless the general government shall pay for its improvement and preservation. This recalls the fact that the eastern branch of the Potomac entering the river at this point, was once navigable for large vessels for seven miles by means which the S cause to be reservation United States a Board, confined one civilian, confirmed h We have been furnished by the Secretary of the San Francisco Produce Exchange with a report of the grain and flour remaining in the State of California on the first day of January, 1878, from which we make the following summary: Flour, barrels, 57,187; wheat, centals, 2,646,811; barley, centals, 882,046; oats, centals, 104,998; corn, sacks, 110,434; rye, sacks, 3,901. EFFENDI BEY, the Turkish Embassador at Washington, is mad at the publication, by order of Evarts, of a dispatch from Minister Beale, which declares that the Turks have lost their ancient characteristics of truthfulness and fair dealing, and become morose, fanatical, vindictive and indolent, a foe to progress in any shape, and having their worst passions excited by frenzy by the appearance of a Christian school master. The deepest artesian well in the world is being bored in Pesth, Hungary. It has already reached 3,000 feet. A well in Paris of somewhat more than half that depth has hitherto had the preeminence. The city has devoted $200,000 to the work, which is undertaken to supply warm water from hot springs for the municipal establishments and public baths. The boring will be prosecuted until the temperature of the water shows 178° Fahrenheit. From advices received last evening we learn that the resolution authorizing the Senate Committee on Irrigation to visit several points in the State at the State's expense, has been rescinded. The matter, however, will come up for discussion again in the course of a few days, but the probabilities are that the project will fall through, as the opponents of the Senatorial jaunt claim that such a flying trip could not possibly add to the stock of information already possessed upon the subject. Mr. Smith, Senator from this county, has introduced an Act to amend Section 1,617 of the Civil Code, by increasing the powers of Trustees of school districts. The Act authorizes Trustees to refund tax payers amounts collected from them where the tax has been declared illegal. Mr. Smith has also introduced a bill for the relief of Geo. C. Knox. The bill requires the Board of Supervisors to fix the salary of the Superintendent of Irrigation for Los Angeles County for the term commencing March, 1874, and ending March, 1878. The bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee, of which Smith is a member. A SACRAMENTAN who has kept careful record reports that during the year 1877 in this State there were 135 cases of murder, 137 of suicide and four executions as follows: Months Murders Suicides Executions The material interests of the District are suffering, too. The late freshets have caused such a filling up of the channel of the Potomac that vessels even of light draft can reach Georgetown only at high tide. For years the channel has been growing less and less, and its usefulness is now practically at an end, unless the general government shall pay for its improvement and preservation. This recalls the fact that the eastern branch of the Potomac, entering the river at this point, was once navigable for large vessels for several miles above the city, and is now only a marsh. A small sheet of water near the Washington Monument is to be utilized. Congress appropriated five thousand dollars to be expended in fitting it for the "cultivation" of carp. This is a delicious fish, and the money will be well expended if the experiment is successful. There are curious developments in the case of Mrs. Oliver vs. ex-Senator Simon Cameron. It will be remembered that the lady began a breach of promise suit against the venerable Senator over a year ago. It now appears that in February last the suit was compromised, Mrs. Oliver receiving one thousand dollars instead of fifty thousand, as claimed. But she now refuses to be bound by the agreement and proposes to push her suit. This may be called a breach of promise on both sides. It is fair to say that Mrs. Oliver, who has secured notoriety through this suit, is a lady of character, and not the sort of person to institute such a suit for mere blackmailing purposes. Some time ago a San Jose merchant visited a San Francisco business house and purchased an invoice of goods amounting to nearly $3000 which was made payable in time installments for the benefit of the customer. When the first payment became due the San Jose dealer paid it, purchasing at the same time a second invoice of goods on similar terms to that on which the first lot was obtained. But when a second payment became due it was not forthcoming, and the San Francisco house pressed the San Jose customer for the money. After some trouble the matter was carried into the District Court at San Jose. The San Francisco house sued for the amount of the debt, with interest, etc. The debtor demurred on the ground that the plaintiffs are not a legally constituted firm, not having complied with the law relating to the filing of articles with the County Clerk and the publication of the true names of the firm in a daily newspaper as the statute requires; that a failure to comply with the law has deprived them of any standing in Court. It is reported that the demurrer has been sustained. The constitutionality of the law will probably be tested, as it is understood that the case will be carried up to the Supreme Court on appeal. If it is true, as stated, that very few newly-established firms comply with the law in this respect, this may open up a long series of lawsuits. A SACRAMENTAN who has kept careful record reports that during the year 1877 in this State there were 125 cases of murder, 137 of suicide and four executions as follows: Months Murders Suicides Executions January 8 18 February 13 13 March 18 4 1 April 14 10 May 9 9 2 June 15 8 July 13 11 August 9 13 September 17 10 October 9 18 November 5 13 1 December 5 10 Totals 135 137 4 Besides the above executions 5 men were lynched at Bakersfield and 2 at Santa Cruz. The distress in China is very great. The Celestial Empire says that thousands die daily in the Schansi Province. The wretched people not only feed on the bodies of the dead, but the strong in their desperation kill the weak and devour them. The government has appropriated 400,000 taels for the relief of the famine in Schansi and Honan. According to the Peking Gazette, the greater part of the Empire is in an impoverished condition, and it shows little symptoms of improvement. One-half of the country has been depopulated and ruined by civil war or by drought, and the other half, owing to like causes, cannot afford help. The copper mines could be made very profitable if hands could be found to work them. Unfortunately there is no money to pay them. Recently a Chinese loan of about $10,000,000 has been put on the London Exchange, but there is no prospect of negotiating it for want of adequate security. The government is dismayed at the immense difficulties of the situation—the growing depopulation, the inability of the people of the richest Provinces to pay taxes, and the accumulated arrears that cannot be collected. Speaking of an artesian well now being bored by the authorities of the city of Peath, Hungary, and which is now over 3,000 feet deep, a scientific journal says: Since June last, the boring has penetrated through 200 feet of dalomite, and the preceding strata passed through have supplied a number of interesting facts to the geologist, which have been noticed from time to time in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The difficulties to be overcome have led to many ingenious engineering devices, such as a method for driving nails, and more, the means of drawing them (by magnets), of cutting off and pulling up broken tubes, and above all, a valuable mechanical apparatus by means of which the water rising from the well is used as a motive power, driving the drill at a rate of speed double that previously imparted from the mouth of the well. The Commissioner of Agriculture is soon to issue a pamphlet in which he will call attention to the feasibility of tea culture in the United States. He believes that the climate of the States of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri and a portion of the Pacific Coast is as favorable to tea culture as that of China and Japan. In several of the States above named the experiment has proved satisfactory. The yield of an acre three years after planting averages 187 pounds, and two years later is increased to seven or eight hundred pounds. An average day's picking is about 10 pounds. The people of the United States consume about $20,000,000 worth of tea annually. Remarkable Anti-Chinese Bill. Washington, Jan. 14—Nearly all the Legislative day in both branches of Congress was occupied by the presentation, reception and reference of bills and memorials. Out of the religious mass of documents thus introduced for the consideration of the committee, the following are of special Pacific Coast interest: Senator Booth presented a resolution of the California Legislature praying for the enactment of the so-called Shelly bill, for a capitulation tax on Chinese immigrants. Senator McCreery, of Kentucky, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, presented a memorial of the Six Chinese Companies, protesting against any and all such legislation. Both memorials were referred to the Foreign Relations Committee without debate or comment. Wren, of Nevada, has introduced in the House a copy of Sargent’s bill to restrict Chinese immigration, by prohibiting the admission of more than ten Mongolians on any one vessel, and Shelly of Alabama has introduced another bill on the same subject, both of which measures were referred to the Committee on Education and Labor. Shelly’s new bill is an extraordinary production which seems likely to bring ridicule upon its author, and to retard, rather than facilitate, practical action in the direction advocated by judicious opponents of Chinese immigration. It may, however, serve to show that Californians are comparatively very moderate in their demands. Its title is, “a bill to provide for the colonization or transporting of Chinese.” It directs the Secretary of the Interior to select a tract of land in one of the Territories, as remote as possible from the white settlements, to be used exclusively for Chinese inhabitancy, allowing 80 acres to each family, 20 for each child, and 40 for each single man, together with an additional number of acres, equal to 25 per cent. of the foregoing, as a reserve, to provide for the possible and natural increase of said people. The total size of the tract to be determined by means of a census; immediately after which the Secretary of the Interior must cause to be collected and transported to this reservation all the Chinese found in the United States, the details to be executed by a Board, consisting of two army officers and one civilian, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The bill appropri- Ventura Wharf Again Wrecked. San Euenaventura, Jan. 15—About 6 o’clock last evening heavy swells from the southward commenced rolling in, striking the wharf with fearful force, and at times rolling clear over it. The wharf stood until about 9 o’clock when the old part, which is the outer end, began to give way, and in the course of an hour, some 300 feet had washed away, some of the piles breaking off and others tearing loose at the bottom. Where the wharf now terminates, there is 16 feet of water. abundance to float the coast steamers, but the beach is so near that they probably will not land, as in case of a hawser parting, the ship would be ashore almost in a moment. This is the third time the wharf has been carried away within a year, and great sympathy is felt for Captain Sudden, the enterprising owner. The wharf at Hueneme, twelve miles south, stood the sea without injury. Storm at Santa Barbara--Wharves Damaged. Santa Barbara, Jan. 15—During the storm of last night the old abandoned wharf, to the west of Stearn’s new wharf, was carried away and dashed with such force against the latter as to sweep away a section at the surf end, about two hundred feet long, throwing it upon the beach. The rotten condition of the wharf, and not the storm itself, was the cause of the disaster. The Defeat of the Irrigation Excursion. Sacramento, Jan. 14—The passage of the resolution rescindling the arrangement by which the Senate Committee on Irrigation were to visit the southern counties and take testimony, etc., created quite a tumult on Saturday, and caused a particularly animated and not altogether parliamentary debate. The ground upon which the majority acted in rescinding the original resolution was that of inordinate and doubtfully remunerative expenses. The truth is that the State Controller had called the attention of the Senate to the fact that its expenditures had already very largely exceeded those of the two preceding Senates during the same period, and as the cost of the irrigation excursion threatened to range from $5,000 upwards to an Baby Blanche. BY JULIA A.G. She’s a wimene little name, In this baby girl of sure; And right royally she rules us, Quite magnificent of her powers. Yes, the household band she governs, Of all our hearts she’s queen; Her hands, so small and tiny; Grays a spectacle all unseen. The proud little head is crowned By the glory of dark brown hair; She has a dimpled chin and red lips; Like coral rich and rare. Her bright, blue eyes, so charming, Gaze fearless into mine; For in their tender, misty depths The pure, white soul doth shine. Oh may her life be clearness As summer’s gold morn, Of all earth’s heavy sorrows May it miserably be shown. And in the years before her, Just opening into view, May her heart to good deeds given, Steadfast remain, and true. Curious Coincidences. Sir Edmund Burke, in his “Vicissita of Families,” has a weird chapter on “Fate of Seaforth,” in which he gives at length the doom of this family, as pronounced by the “Warlock of the Glen” (as Edmund calls Dun Kenneth), and its futile century and half after it spoken. Burke seemingly accepts as a (as does Mr. Mackenzie) the purely mythical story of the seer and his cruel fate—howing a clansman of Seaforth, and famed his prophetic skill, he was called on his chief wife to explain why her husband staid so long in Paris, whither he had gone on business soon after the Restoration; he was Warlock, unwilling at first to tell what his uncanny gift showed him; at last forced to say that the Lord of Kintail forgetting home and Lady Isabel in smiles of a French lady; how the anecdote furious that he should have so sharred his chief before his clansmen ordered the seer to be burned to death—another stance of the proverbial “honor” in whose prophets are held in their own country; he was dying at the stake. Kenneth uttered a weed prediction foretelling downfall of the Seaforths for Lady Isabel’s crime; runs the legend. It is quite certain that prediction regarding the Seaforth family well known in the Highlands long before The District are thehets have caused of the Pototah draft can reach side. For years less and less, practically at an amendment shall pay observation.

A Confidence Trick Exposed. Omaha, January 10.—A cunning confidence game, which was being played through the mails, has just been unearthed at Sydney, in this State, by a special agent of the Post Office Department, who has arrested Captain John C. Lee, formerly a lottery man of Omaha, and one Morgan. These men were sending out letters signed "John F. Wilson," to all parts of the country, stating that a man from Black Hills had died at the Sydney House, J. F. Wilson, proprietor, leaving valuable jewelry, baggage, etc., the deceased having the same name as the person addressed, and probably a relative. The letters stated that the deceased owed Wilson $28 50 for board, funeral expenses, etc., and that his valuable baggage would be forwarded on receipt of the amount. Some suckers were biting at the bait when the game was nipped. Lee and Morgan have both been held for trial at Omaha, at the next term of the United States District Court. The penalty is very severe, being a heavy fine and 18 months' imprisonment in each of the three cases against them. The Utah Legislature. Salt Lake, January 12.—The Utah Legislative Assembly meets in this city on Monday. The Council consists of thirteen members, all churchmen and all polygamists. One is a son of the Prophet, John W. Young. Two are Apostles. The remainder are Bishops or Presidents of Stakes. There are twenty-six Assemblymen of whom twenty-two are in polygamy, four are Apostles and thirteen Bishops or Presidents of Stakes. Toole county, a mining region, is represented by a Gentile, the only outsider in the Assembly. A marked ballot and woman suffrage are mainly instrumental in procuring so unfit a body for the business of law making. At noon yesterday Prof. Paul Vallean Cartier began to try to waltz during twelve successive hours. The dancing hall, at 8 Union square, was gayly decorated. The music continued without intermission, the musicians skillfully changing from one waltz to another. The first lady to take the floor with Prof. Cartier was Miss Sadie Leobaldti, who, without signs of fatigue, waltzed for two hours. Miss Lina Van Ralter then waltzed with him for two hours and two minutes. Prof. Cartier did not pause in his task nor partook of refreshments. Miss Sophie Van Ralter then danced for an hour and eighteen minutes, and gave place to Miss Emily Ashe. Prof. Cartier was then apparently fresh and elastic as when the dancing began. He kept up spirited conversation. Miss Ashe continued for two hours and twenty minutes. Miss A. R. Stewart followed for sixteen minutes. Miss Rose Herrberg for one hour and six minutes, and Mme. Cartier fifty-eight minutes. Between 6 and 10 o'clock Prof. Cartier partook three times of a teaspoonful of beef tea in a wine-glass of water. At 10 Prof. Cartier threw off his coat and began to show signs of fatigue, although he laughingly said he was good for another six hours. Miss May Miller danced 47 minutes; Miss Addie Heneman, 38; Miss Kitty Scullow, 22; Prof. Cartier kept right on waltzing and finished his task. He was greeted with applause.—N. Y. Sun, Jan. 2. A Washington correspondent says Hayes has grown fleshy since his election, and his face is that of a man at peace with his dinner and the world. There is a look of greater refinement, too, about him than there was two years ago, as though he were accustomed to better society as President of the United States than as Governor of Ohio. He appears to have lost a certain awkwardness of manner that characterized him then, and his relations with his hands and feet are more amiable than they used to be. Of the line of Mackeneth remained not amade to bear the proud name of the chief of Kentai. The estates went to his eldest daughter the widow of Admiral Sir Samuel Hoo who was on her way home from India where her father died. The four Highland lairs friends of Earl Francis, were all distinguished by the peculiar personal marks which were mentioned in the prediction; and make the coincidence complete, Lady Hoo—then Mrs. Stewart Mackenzie—may years afterwards may be said to have been the innocent cause of her sister's death, when she was driving Miss Carolina Mackenzie in a pony-carriage, the ponies ran away the ladies were thrown out, and Miss Miss Kenzie killed! In the appendix to "The Norman Macleod's Life," by his brother, he given a series of reminiscences dictated his old age by their father. He says that in the summer of 1799 he visited Dunvegan Castle in Skye, the old stronghold of the Macleods. "One circumstance took place at the castle on this occasion which I think worth recording, especially as I am the only person now living who can attest the truth of it. There had been a traditionary prayer, couched in Gaecic verse, regarding the family of Macleod, which on this occasion received a most extraordinary fulfillment. This prophecy I have heard repeated by several persons... It was prophesied at least hundred years prior to thecircumstances an about to relate." This prediction in she was that when "Norman,the third Norman," should meet an accidental death when the rocks on the coast of Macleod country called the "Maidens" became the property of a Campbell; when a fox hung young ones in the castle; and when the "Fairy Banner" should be for the last time shown—the glory of Macleod should depend for a time; the estates be sold to other But that again in the far future another Macleod should redeem the property and raise the family higher than ever. No comes the curious coincidence told by Ms Macleod. An English smith at Dunvegan told him one day that next morning he was going to the castle to force open the iron chest Baby Blanche. BY JULIA A. G. a witness little name, this baby girl of nurse, right royally she rules us, the unconscious of her powers. the household band she performs, all our hearts she's queen; bands, so small and tiny, shape a scripter all unseen. brood little head is crowned the glory of dark-brown hair; was a displeased chin and red lip, ocean rich and ratt. way her life be cloudless summer's gold-a morn, earth's heavy sorrows, it mercifully be shorn. in the years before her, at opening into view, her heart to good deeds given, fast remain, and true. Various Coincidences. and Burke, in his "Vicissitudes," has a weird chapter on "the forth," in which he gives at full bloom of this family, as pronouncement "Warlock of the Glen" (as Sir Stills Dun Kenneth), and its fulfilment and a half after it was murkely accepts as a fact Mackenzie) the purely mythical serer and his cruel fate—how, be man of Seaforth, and famed for the skill, he was called on by wife to explain why her husband in Paris, whither he had gone soon after the Restoration; how, unwilling at first to tell what gift showed him, at last was say that the Lord of Kintail was home and Lady Isabel in the French lady; how the angry curious that he should have so slain before his clansmen, ordered be burned to death—another proverbial "honor" in which held in their own country. As at the stake, Kenneth uttered fiction foretelling the downfall of as for Lady Isabel's crime. So end. It is quite certain that a regarding the Seaforth family was in the Highlands long before the which the "fairy flag" of the Macleods had lain for ages undisturbed. Mr. Macleod was very anxious to be present, and at last he got permission from "the factor," upon condition that he told no one of the name of Macleod—the chief included—what was to be done. The smith tore off the lid of the box, and the famous old flag was exposed—a square piece of very rich silk, with crosses wrought with gold-thread, and several elf-spots stitched with great care on different parts of it." Very soon after this, Mr. Macleod goes on to say, "the melancholy news of the death of the young and profiling heir of Macleod reached the castle. 'Norman, the third Norman,' was a lieutenant of H. M. S., the Queen Charlotte, which was blown up at sea, and he and the rest perished. At the same time, the rocks called 'Macleod's Maidens' were sold in the course of that very week to Angus Campbell of Ensay; and they are still in possession of his grandson. A fox in possession of a Lieutenant Maclean residing in the west turret of the castle, had young ones, which I handled. And thus all that was said in the prophecy alluded to was so far fulfilled." Death of "Paddy the Painter." A well-known character of this city died in a pauper's bed in Bellvue Hospital on Sunday last. He was a former detective, who was popularly called, on Wall street and the lower part of the city, "Paddy the Painter." His real name was Patrick Flavin. He was a native of Ireland, but was brought to this city when a child. He procured a slight education in one of the down-town public schools, and was then apprenticed to a painter. In 1859, when he was about 22 years old, he was appointed a member of the Metropolitan Police Force. He was assigned to the First Precinct, and, while patrolling the business streets, he made it his business to become acquainted with merchants, bankers, and brokers, and the skillful thieves who preyed upon them. He soon acquired a valuable amount of this kind of knowledge, and in 1859 was appointed a detective. He was then assigned to duty on Wall street, where he made himself very useful. Several times he succeeded in foiling the best-laid plans of such skillful bank-thieves as Dutch Heinrich and Dan Noble, and he caught NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. For Sale. 1 Good Iron Safe, almost new.

As at the stake, Kenneth uttered a detection foretelling the downfall of Mrs for Lady Isabel's crime. So end. It is quite certain that regarding the Seaforth family was in the Highlands long before the last chief of Kintail. We have no authority for the fact that both Davy and Sir Walter Scott believed it. "I do fear the accent of the prophecy," writes Scott place to his friend Morritt of who himself testifies that he heard in the Highlands at a time when both had two sons both alive and healthy. This prediction ran, that Seaforth would fall when there deaf and dumb earl who should (the "gift-land" of his house): would have three sons, all of should survive; that four great birds, his contemporaries, should certain physical defects, which; that the Seaforth estates should white-hooded lassic from the house should be the cause of her sickness particulars the facts coinily. Francis Humberstone Maclast Seagrth, became deaf from fever while at school, and latc became dumb. His remarkable known: he raised from his clans Highlanders, and subsequently lieutenant-general in the army for various colonies. Scott, a friend he was, says he was a extraordinary talents, who must for himself a lasting reputation, political exertions been checked natural infirmity. He was the son of three sons and six daughters, promise; but the end of his life led by misfortunes. Two of his suddenly; and in 1814, William Moore—M. P. for his native county, man of great abilities—sickening disease, and died about losses in the West Indies near sale of Kintail. In January the old man, broken-hearted at his three sons, died; and then, as Mackenneth remained not a male proud name of the chiefs of Kentail, went to his eldest daughter, of Admiral Sir Samuel Hood, her way home from India when died. The four Highland lairds,arl Francis, were all distinguishable personal marks whichoned in the prediction; and to coincidence complete, Lady Hood Stewart Mackenzie—many cards may be said to have been cause of her sister's death, for old, he was appointed a member of the Metropolitan Police Force. He was assigned to the First Precinct, and, while patrolling the business streets, he made it his business to become acquainted with merchants, bankers, and brokers, and the skillful thieves who preyed upon them. He soon acquired a valuable amount of this kind of knowledge, and in 1859 was appointed a detective. He was then assigned to duty on Wall street, where he made himself very useful. Several times he succeeded in foiling the best-laid plans of such skillful bank-thieves as Dutch Heinrich and Dan Noble, and he caught many of the fellows who used then to waylay bank messengers who were intrusted with gold checks, tags of coin, etc. In 1863 Paddy, finding that his knowledge and detective skill were more valuable to bankers than to the Police Department, resigned his position in the Detective squad. He then procured employment as special detective in the service of such banking institutions as the Bank of North America, Union Bank, and the houses of Jay Cooke & Co. and Clarke, Dodge & Co. He was employed at different times by other institutions. He made but few arrests after leaving the police force, and, it is said, performed his duty toward his employers by simply watching the movements of criminals on the streets, and warning them from committing depredations upon his preserves. He took part in the search for young Ketchum when that skillful forger victimized his business associates, and he also assisted in the capture of Jennins, the Cashier of one of the down-town banks, who embezzled $300,000 and squandered $150,000 upon a pretty waiter-girl in a Broadway saloon. Flavin made a great deal of money through his Wall street events. Beside his salary, he often received "points" upon which he was enabled to make thousands of dollars. Becoming inflated with the possession of money, Paddy became a sporting man. Every Summer he went to Saratoga and Long Branch, where he bet heavily on races and against "the tiger." While in the city he lived in handsome apartments in the Stevens House, and he had a wardrobe probably unequaled in the city. It used to be said on Wall street that Paddy the Painter had a suit of clothing for every hour in the day. By degrees he allowed his money to slip away from him, and in 1872—the need of the banking houses for his expensive services vanished with the complete banishment of such thieves as Dutch Heinrich, Dan Noble and Chancey Johnson from "thestreet." Soon after he became impoverished by some unsuccessful ventures on race courses. Some friends procured him the position of detective at the Metropolitan Hotel, but his habits were too expensive for the proprietors of that house to retain him. Since then he was supported by contributions from his former employers. The disease of which he died was consumption. Before his death he wrote to a friend on Wall street, asking him to bury him, as he did not want his body to be dissected.—N. Y. Times, Dec. 27.

There are many signs from which the weatherwise predict dry or wet seasons, and doubtless, there is some little merit in most of them, but they are seldom accompanied by logical inference. Within the memory of man this State has never been visited by ducks and geese in very large numbers unless in unexceptional wet seasons. In the winter of 1861-2 the plains of the southern counties, and the cultivated fields all over the State were literally covered with myriads of wild geese and ducks. This year they have made their appearance in unprecedented numbers, so that farmers in many sections have resorted to every possible method for their destruction, even to the reprehensible use of poison. Ducks and geese, being water fowls, do not seek countries deficient in that element, nor will they flock anywhere that their instinct tells them is likely to prove unproptious. Judging from these clearly stated premises it is reasonable to place faith in the belief that the present winter will be accompanied with abundance of rain.—Commercial Herald. Domesticated horses have no real knowledge of their own strength and power, fortunately for man. With wild horses it is different. In the steppes of Russia it is not rare to see a two-year-old colt rush singly to attack a band of four or five wolves, kill one or two of them, lame the rest, and spread the terror of his name throughout the country. The wild horse strikes with his fore feet, like the stag and not with his hind legs sa is popularly believed. He draws himself up to his full height against his enemy, and pounds him beneath his murderous pestles; then seizes him between the shoulders with his formidable incisors, and tosses him to the maras, to make sport for themselves and their offspring.
