He had noticed that the girl of 16 was the woman of 60. and the boy of 16 tho man of 60, for if the girls acted not on right principles at 16 they would not do so at 60, and if the boy was not true and faithful nnd industrious at 16 ho would not be at 60.

TWO BOLD THIEVES. Their Attempts to Possess Other Men’s Property and the Reeult. The history of yesterday records the work of two daring thieves whose bold attempts were the talk of the two neighborhoods in which they worked. The first occurred early yesterday morning. Mr. S. C. Roberts, who lives at 116 Lincoln street, has been sleeping on a cot in the parlor for two weeks on account of sickness In his family. A little after 2 o’clock yesterday morning he awakened and found a young mulatto boy, apparently about 15 or 16 yeai* of age, in the room, on hi* knees, reaching under the cot for Mr. Roberts’ trousers. Mr. Roborts sprang up nnd attempted to catch the thief, but failed to do so, and the boy escaped out of the window by which be entered. On account of the warm w eather the window sash hail been raised, and the thief had un fastened the blinds and crawled in. The other, which was a successful piece of work, was accomplished with a degree of skill that marks the perpetrator as rh actor born, and doubtless with proper training he would make an excellent Othello. Mr. Frank 8. Einstein, a clerk with Smith Bros., cigar dealers, at Bay and Whitaker street*, was Sitting at a desk in the rear por tion of the store when a young negro came in and took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and with tho utmost coolness and consum mate unconcern, began moving boxes about as if he was a porter. When a favorable opportunity occurred ho got four boxes of cigars under his arm and throwing his coat over his shoulders, walked out of the store and started down Whitaker street toward the Bay. An employe who was looking out of the window or the Morn ing New'*building saw tbe man enter and leave the building and concluded that there was something wrong. He hastened across the street and informed Me. Einstein of what, he hod seen. Mr. Einstein imme diately started in pursuit of his erstwhile porter, hut only managed to get a glimpse of him as he disappeared under the bluff. The follow had not playeif the first act so well, to forget his lines in the second. LED BY A LAWYER’S VOICE. One Attorney Objects to Another’s Melodious Tones. The case of John Doe ex. dem. Reuben Dudley et al. vs. Richard Roc i. e. Laura Fields et al. was begun in the Superior Court yesterday. It is an ejectment suit brought to recover possession of a house and lot in Gilmerville ward, which the plaintiff claims as heir to Stephen Dudley, deceased. The testimony goes back to ante-bellum days, and involves the question of the slave’s right to real property, all the parties being colored. At one time in the trial of this case the sweetness of the voice of Mr. J. R. Saussy, the attorney for the defendant, was brought before the court for its consideration. Mr. Ravenel, the plaintiff's counsel, objected to the manner in which Mr. Saussy examined one of the witnesses, saying that there was a peculiar persuasiveness to Mr. Saussy’s voice that led the witness to respond in the affirmative, and he was affirming too much. Mr. Saussy replied that he had not learned before that ho had a very melodious voice; certainly no one thought so when ho tried to sing, and he was sure if he made the attempt there he would clear the court room in a very short time; but if his voice was melodious that was Mr. Ravenel’s mis fortune. He had a right to use his natural tone—the Supreme Court had so decided. Mr. Ravenel said that he was sure that the court would see his point; that Mr. Snussv’s persuasive tone was leading the witness always to the affirmative, and the witness seemed only too willing to be led. Mr. Saussy retorted that Mr. Ravenel had no right to obiect to leading questions, for that had been his course all through the case and ho (Mr. Saussy) had not objected once, but he cautioned Mr. Ravenel two or three times aotto voce. If he was favored with a melodious voice he could not help it. Mr. Saussy then went on with the exami nation, throwing his whole soul into his voice and so filling it that even his honor was touched and a smile played for a mo ment around the judicial lips. GETTING EVEN WITH AN ENEMY. Morgan Jones Arrested for-Setting Fire to a House in Woodville. Morgan Jones, a Woodville was ar rested yesterday morning for arson. About a week ago Edward Green (colored) and his family left their house at Woodville, to spend the evening at a neighbor's. Upon their return, about midnight.

Tarred and Burned Alive. From the Dublin Express. A correspondent yesterday gave an ac count of a horrible occurrence which took place at Monasterevan in connection with the rejoicings of the Nationalists over the release of Father Ryan. He says that, after presenting Father Ryan with an address, they had a bonfire lighted in his honor in a garden in the main street. While the bon fire was blazing, and an effigy of Judge Boyd was being consumed, someone in tne large crowd that had collected pulled out a round iron hoop that had been stuffed with straw, and was dripping with boiling tar and paraffine, which fell on a lad of fourteeu, knocking him down, and the boiling tar ran over his head and down his throat. The ex cited crowd, thinking the boy one of the detached limbs that had fallen off the effigy, kicked and jumped on him, yelling all the while with half-crazed glee. ' The boy suc cumbed a few hours after he was rescued. The police were present, but could not stop the burning of the lad. A telegram from a Mayboro correspondent last night states that an inquest was subsequently held, and a verdict of accidental death was returned. The circumstances of the case, it is added, are not so shocking as they have been re ported. A Pitiful Sight. What sadder sight can be imagined than that of a noble man, whom the world can ill afford to spare, stricken down in the prime of a useful life by consumption. Thousands are yearly tilling consumptives’ graves who might be saved by the timely use of Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discov ery,” which is a positive cure for consump tion in its early stages. It is the best altera tive and pectoral in the world. All drug .gists. Advice to Mothers. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it produces natural, (juiet sleep by relieving the child from pain and the little cherub awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. 25 cents a bottle.
