What makes the accom plishreeat of this feat the more remarka ble is the fact that the poor child is ueu •Jly employed during the day, and mem orized these verses by the light of a fire built in his yard at night. It may also lie mentioned that he has never attended any other than a Sunday school. Now, the question is this: What purpose does such a gigantic strain upou the mem ory serve! The precocious boy proba bly repeats his lesson as a parrot might, without in the least understanding that which he rec tea; whereas, by thorough ly learning half a dozen verses, he not only understands what be learns, but re serves a useful faculty lor profitable usol Anecdote of Mr. Lincoln.—When the late President Lincoln was practic ing law at Springfield, 111, he and the judge once got to bantering one another about trading horses, and it was agreed that the next morning at 9 o’clock they should make a trade, the horses to be un seen up to that hour, and no backing out under a forfeiture of twenty-five dollars. At the hour appointed, the judge came up, lcadiug the sorriest looking speci men of a horse ever seen in those parts.— la a lew minutes Mr. Lincoln was seen approaching with a wooden saw-horse on his shoulder. Great were the shouts and the laughter of the crowd, and both were greatly increased when Mr. Lincoln on surveying the Judge's animal, set down his saw-horse and exclaimed: “Well, Judge, this is the first time I ever got the worst of it in a horse trade.” The Black Folks Moviho.— Last Thursday evening about forty colored people from near Maeoa, Georgia, passed through on the cars en route for some point near Memphis. The agent in charge, who has recently traveled through por tions of Alabama and Georgia, says that great destitution prevails among the col ored population. Some of them are liv ing by camping ont and subsisting on the mast, and m some places acrons are sell ing for fifty eeats per bushel. In Alabama some ol them, old and young, are in a state of nudity, and subsist on hickory nuts and turnip aalad Within the next ten days three thousand of them will pass through our city to Memphis for Arkan sas, while a great many ate going West.— Chattanooga Commercial.

The Spot waagarcfblly witched for days and nigh to until there seemeiji no doubt band was the same os that of wine It the detectives were on the trail. Monday” there were evidences of a conference among the inmates of the saloon arid of a preparation for departure. Several well known burglars were observed to enter at different times knd by various entrances, ftlio detectives thought that the time trike had arrived. Captain Petty, of fifth precinct, ordered out a platoon ■of men at the request of the officers, which swept down upon the place so suddenly and unexpectedly that there wasfio chauce for escape. Sseven men were seated about the room drinking and in conversation’; Willard, the proprietor, was at his post behind the bar, and there seemed got the slightest apprehension of danger. : Suddenly, without warning, the door ways were simultaneously darkened by formiS of a squad of policemen. Detec tive Elder appeared at their head aifi in formed tlie terrified men in the sa luon that tiiey were prtooneis. The po' I icemen then stepped forward und arrest ed All tlve suspected thieves, who sub ittittod struggle. The detec %q>«l ail joining epaStentu.

The -prisoners were placed in carriages and, surrounded by policemen, were taken to headquarters, where, having given their names, they were placed in separate cell* guarded constantly by three officers. The hand thus successfully captured was, herhaps, the most dangerous and best organized gang of thieves in the United States, composed, as It was, of old and experienced burglars, who have bgpn engaged in many of the largest bank robberies in the country. The most im portant one of the prisoners is Dan Kelly, who escaped from Auburn several years ago, and is one of the men implicated in the murder of Benjamin Nathan. “Put scy” Conroy is a notorious burglar, and is specially notable from having, it is alleg ed, murdered the mate ot a vessel on the East river seven years ago. “Billy” Hoey is a Baltimore burglar, and has follow ed his present calling for ten or twelve years. He, it is asserted, was engaged in the robbery of the New England Bank and of the Concord Bank. "Larry” Grif fin,” “Billy” Wood, and John Garvy are all alleged dariug and skillful professional burglars, who have heretofore warily avoided arrest by the police, to whom they are, however, well known. George A. Willard is known as the keeper of a thieves resort, and Matthew McGeaclicy, the youngest man captured in the saloon, is nineteen years ot age, and unknown to the detectives. He claims to be a boat man from Yorkers. On the examination of these men before Superintendent Mat sell, Iloey gave his name as John Burns, Wood as John Thompson, and Garvy as Francis P. Kayton. Among the contents of the valises were eleven soft, slouch hats, which seemingly connect the prisoners with the eleven men who have been committing the burglaries mentioned. It remains to be revealed whether the families of Messrs. Post, Em met and Soutter can identify the prison ers. A large amount of private papers and account books were found which may possibly be recognized Jay some ol her victims. A pair of handcuffs, the exact counterpart of the pair left at Mr. Em met’s was among the property taken. There was also a lady’s veil, used for a mask, and a quantity of paper muslin, from which masks were cut when neces sary, and afterwards thrown away. The tools used were of the finest quality and very numerous, there being four or five duplicates of every article. Telegrams have been sent to the vic tims of the four robberies mentioned to identify the prisoners. Mr. Post offered for the capture and conviction ol the men SI,OOO reward; Mr, Emmet, $1,000; Mr. Soutter, $4,000; and the Jamaica, Wood haven and Brooklyn Railroad, $3,000. In Boston a joint stock company will be established provided the Legislature grants a charter for the purpose of guar anteeing the pecuniary responsibility and honesty of persons occupying positions of trust. Should the enterprise succeed it will be a great relief to gentlemen of proper ty who are bored to become bondsmen and who say “Yes” when they should say *‘No.” GROCERIES. Salt, : at? *- \ * .
