President King simply turned the letter over to bis private secretary, Mr. Nicholson, r?cl that gentleman turned it over to the police. It was laid before Capt. Bergholz, of the Church street station, and Capt. Rergholz assigned Detective Flynn to work up the case and capture “A Desperate Dei iP just as he was about to lay hands on the pr'z" Flynn dressed a boy up in cheap imi intion of a District Messenger boy’s uni form. and on Tuesday evening stationed him at the corner of Vesey street and Broadway. The bogus messenger held ui his hand a plain sealed envelope iddressed X. Y. Z.. and containing live slips of crisp brown wrap ping paper, cut in the size of banknotes. \t 1 o'clock precisely a well-dressed boy, n bout J 4 years old, came along, and, without t word, handed the messenger an envelope Kidressed X. Y. Z. and took the correspond ing envelope the messenger had. Not a word was spoken by the two boys. The "Itesperate Devil’s” emissary went rapidly across Broadway and then to John street, with Detective Flynn close u|>on his heels, fie went so fast that the detective feared ho might get out of sight, and in John street. iear Nassau, he collared Inin. The bov gave a clear account o’ himself, and said he bad been hired by a man to do the erra and, and that he bad lieen paid a luarter for it. Ha was to hide the envel ope, he said, under an Italian fruit stand at i he corner of William and John streets, and then meet the man later in Pearl street, and receive a larger sum for his services. The '"y was perfectly willing to assist the de tective, and a moment ! aler, before ho had leposited th money at the place designated, [glinted out a man to the officer as the one who had employed him. Flynn arrested liim. and locked him up. He give his name js Charles ,T. Campbell, and said lie lived at "t" l>an street, Brooklyn, nnd was 24years T age. Campbell was arraigned before Jddge Kiibreth in the Tombs Police Court, yes terday morning, ami pleaded not guilty. 1 k“ Judge postponed examination until a'f lernoon, as the prisoner said he wished to R:nd for his employer, Felix F. Daus, of Ml Beckman street. In the afternoon Mr. Daus was present, as was also Mr. Nichol jon, representing President King, of the Erie road. When the prisoner was called o the bar he appeared perfectly cool Rial elf-possessed. He is a little below medium size, with light brown hair and rtoustacbe, and wears a close-cut o'Erd. He seemed remarkably intelligent., uid his language indicated refinement. He rad no lawyer, and asked the court for time ' get one. He had friends in the city, lie 'aid, with whom he wished to communi 'r"°. that they might employ consol and "rne to his assisance. He asked that the icuriijg be postponed until Tuesday, but the :qmt fixed Saturday, and placed the bail at f.ifii), which Mas not furnished, and Cauip was locked up. The court also directed ■hat he be afforded all facilities for oom nunieating with his friends. Mr. Daus, for whom Camphell works, said: ‘ All I know about him is that he came to well recommended a week ago, and we '"’ployed him. Wo guve him at first $0 per 'eck. and we were sowed satisfied with him hafwe raised ids wages to *l2 per week "id made a contract with him for six months * that rate. We sell and manufacture ■'■.PTing apparatus, and lie is very familiar With that business. He referred us to the 'uto-Copyist Company, ‘M William street, indthey - jKilic verv highly of him, and said lp had worked for them a year and had liven per font satisfaction. His reasons for caving them were natural, and lie left them ’ a good terms, and simply, as he thought, o better himself by going to another con 1' ra. Changes in this last firm threw him |'ut, and he at onco got employment from Campbell said that in addition to working °r Daus & Cos., he laid an arrangement in i Mr. Kofal. of 10b East Fifty-fourth , fj, by which at night he did collecting A.., ‘ He loft. Daus’office, lie said, at V” ’ '’’clock on Tuesday night. He at first "ght he would go to Market street, to na<o a collection, but changed his mind uu decided to go home to Brooklyn. He . | !lst started for there when he was ar “■’ui. He had never seen the loy who c®d him until he saw him with the de *c“ ve at Uie time of his arrest TWO GOOD STCRIES, In Which Some Prominent Politicians Figure. The New York correspondent of the Phil adelphia Press tells the following stories: I heard Ex-Senator Tom Ecclessine tell a couple of good election stories the other evening. Said he: “A friend of mine named Devlin was beaten for the Tammany ro nomination for Assemblyman, and the next day he called at my office and had a talk with me about the way he had been treated. ‘I didn’t git a square deal, d’ye see,’ said he, ’an’ I kin beatdeduff oaten oe stiff dey give de noiuanashuus to, d’ye see, an’ I want you teh help me.’ 1 expressed my willingness to aid him by any means in my power. ‘Dat’s wot I fought, yell'd do,’ he replied. T want.yell to take mo up an’ blow me off to de old man.’ By the 'old mim’ ho meant the sage of Gramercy Park. ‘All right,’ I responded; ‘we’ll go up and see him.’ We were not long in reaching Mr. Tiklen’s house and were im mediately ushered into its beautiful parlor. Wishing to prepare Mr Tilden for the gen tlemen he was to meet, I made some excuse to Devlin, slipped out of the parlor and into the Governor’s study, where I posted him on the situation. 1 then returned to my friend. Presently Mr. Tilden shuffled in, buttoning his bad eyelid up with his good hand and greeting me as though we had not met be fore that day. ‘Allow me,’ said I, ‘to pre sent my friend, Mr. Devlin.’ In his blandest manner the old man turned, gave a sudden start as though recognizing an old friend, and then said in his sweetest, whisper: ‘I need no introduction to Mr. Devlin. If I mistake not he was in the Assembly when I was Governor.’ ‘Yes. t was,’ responded Devlin, tickled to death at being remem bered by the great man, 'an’ I waz wid vo all through, you bet.’ “ ‘Ah, yes. Thanks! thanks!’ responded the Governor, waiting for Devlin to break the ice. Presently bo did so, as follows: ‘ Yeh see, Guvemor, I haven’t had a square deal. Dem fellahs has double-banked me, an’ I want to git even. I kin beat, der stuffin’out’u deh muff det’s nomanated, an’ 1 wanted teb see of you wouldn’t help me out.’ The Governor listened very compla cently to this statement, and then replied: ‘ 1 have been so busy of late with important law matters that I have not bad time to give campaign affairs much attention. I will, however, consult with our friends, nnd will lie glad to to see yon again.’ Just then he was summoned out of the room. I knew that the confab was over and waited for Devlin to rise arid make a show of leav ing. He did nothing of the kind, however, but for a minute made a very thorough mental inventory of the value of the fur nishings of the room and then ejaculated; ‘Soi. de old man must be pooty w 11 fixed?” “ ‘lt is currently believed,’ I replied, ‘that, while practicing the arts of statesmanship the Governor lias not wholly neglected his business opportunities, and that, consequent ly, be possesses a faft share of this world’s goods.’ After giving him a moment to re flect on this 1 rose nnd asked: ‘Hadn’t we bet er go? What are we waiting for?’ “ ‘Wot are we waiting fer?’ be responded, in amazement. "VVy. fer de stuff, of course. Does de old man * tink I kin run dis cam paign on wind?’ With hard work, 1 re pressed my inclination to indulge in a roar of laughter, and then got Devlin out of the house as best I could. He never got any 'stuff’ from ‘the old man,’ however, and it is almost needless to say he made no cam paign against Tammany’s nominee.” 'The other story was about a gentleman who is now the glass of fashion and the mould of form, though his name is not Martine, Fellows or Nicoll. “It was during the famous campaign in Maine several years ago. when the Democracy had h'gh hopes of wrestling the State out of the Re publican column,” said the handsome Col onel, “that a number of .mart young Dem ocratic orators were sent there to help the cause by their oratory. Among them was a young gentleman who, on account of a temporary misunderstanding with his tailor, was minus an overcoat. On arriving at Portland, he succeeded in persuading the State Campaign Committee that it would be a good thing to keep him at the Plymouth House in reserve to take the place of any Demosthenes who might get sick or other wise incapacitated from keeping his en gagements. In this way he had what the rest of us who had to rough it through the country thought was a soft snap. A few weeks before the campaign closed lie had, however, to take the place of a sick states man, and late one afternoon he arrived at a town where he was to sqieak in the open air that evening He was taken in charge by a rock-ribbed Democrat, who took him to his own house for supper. After discussing a splendid meal ami doing full justice to it, lie will ked through the ballon his way to the parlor. A beautiful blue-black satin-lined new* overcoat hung from a peg on the rack, and a desire to possess it immediately struck him. W hen the conveyance that was to carry him and his host to the meeting arrived at the door he got up, walked to the ball, took his hat and remarked: ‘The weather was so pleasant when I left New York that I never thought it would be so chilly up here. [ hope I won’t take cold to-night.’ Then ho shuddered, ns though suffering from an im aginary clull, and continued: 'I am very susceptible to cold, and it would be very bail for the cause if I was to be laid up jiist at the critical stage of the game.’ His host, who was the soul of hospitality, immediately answered: ‘So it would. So it would. Here, put on this overcoat of nunc.’ “ ‘I couldn't think of it,” said the New Yorker. “ ‘But I insist you shall,’ urged the host. ‘I have another one upstairs. Mother, got me my last year’s ulster.’ The ulster was fished out of a closet, and donned by the man of the bouse, while the new Benjamin was forcedi?) on the young orator. Now it happened that the latter gentleman was to take a train at 10 o’clock for a point some thirty miles distant. He contrived to have another speaker precede him. He began to speak about 8:45 o'clock, and. as lie is a very entertaining and forcible speaker, so soon had his audience spell-bound or enthusiastic as he willed. He managed to time his perorations so that amid the wildest applause he had bare ly time to jump into a wagon and catch his train. In the burry of departure he forgot to send back the overcoat, but its owner thought nothing of the omission. In a few days he wrote for it, butreceved no answer. Then he wrote again, but the second epistle fared no better than the first. Meantime, the orator had returned to Portland, where he had a tailor alter the coat so that it fit him perfectly. A few days before the elec tion a friend of the owner called on him with a peremptory order for Iho garment. ‘Mr. Brown,’ guessed the Ciceronian, ‘is a good Democrat?’ “ ‘Yes, sir!’ “ ‘ls devoted to the cause A “ ‘Yes, .sir.’ “ ‘Would make sacrifices for it?’ “ ‘Well, yes, certainly.’ “ ‘Very good, then, responded the orator. ‘Give him my compliments, and tell him that the Democrat who sacrifices overcoats to the cause in the hour of its need shall have postoffices in the day of the party’s prosperity.’ “This gentleman,” concluded Mr. Ecclessine, “lias’madefame and fortune helping to prosecute thieves.” “Rough on Bile” Pills.

Lovi* Globe- Dfinorrnt. A Cornisliman is usually content to let someone else discover the mine, own and operate it, he being satisfied with the wages ho can get for sinking the shaft or following the knife-blade vein. Their judgment on ore or quartz is nearly invalu ably correct, and the mine owner seldom continues to persevere after receiving a suggestion from them that it is of no use. The only deviation from these character istics that Mr. Best could recall was ill the case of three young men from Cornwall who came out several years ago with am bition and emergy enough to make several fortunes. They prospected considerably in various portions of the Btate without suc cess, and finally went to work for Mr. Best in one of his Gilpin county mines. Like all Cornishmen they were good miners, worked hard and saved money. After a little while, however, they quit working in the mines and went to prospecting again. The life of a prospector was not ft very encour aging one, but the three brothers seemed never to grow weary of it, keeping up their spirits with the hope of some time finding a fortune. They would bring in samples oc casionally that would assay well, but noth ing more would be heard of the discovery. One day they came in after a couple of weeks absence and made inquiries about the ownerships of an abandoned shaft three miles northwest of Central City. They found the owner, and ho was willing to sell or lease the property on shares, lie had sunk more money in it than he could afford to, and had reluctantly concluded that the best thing to do was to dispose of it or leave it alone. He could not sell a worthless mine, and so the property was abandoned. In the West thess worthless properties are called “holes in the ground,” and they abound in mining countries. The brothers had been down in the abandoned shaft and through its stopes and drifts. They had sunk the shaft a few feet deeper and sud denly struck flic vein the owner had long sought hut never found. It was covered up and the shaft partially Hooded by the melt ing snows. The proposition to lease was accepted, the owner to have 25 per cent, of the output and the brothel's 75. They had no money to purchase machinery, and so the old-fashioned windlass was put up and a bucket made out of a half barrel. With this they slow ly emptied the shaft of water, and after two weeks steady work were able to go down and open the vein. It proved rich beyond all expectation, and the first month they took out 8100,000 without assistance. The strike was soon known ail over that section, and they had plenty of opportuni ties to stdl their lease. Knowing that all mines must “cap” sooner or later, they con cluded to take no risks and disposed of their lease interest for $225,000, leaving them just SIOO,OOO each. When the sale was consummated three hßppier brothers were never seen. They made no more at tempts at mining, but soon started for their old home in Cornwall. The mine was worked by the new company,but the amount paid for it was never realized. It is idle now. KATE MURPHY’S SAD END. Closely Connected to a Royal Family, Reared in Luxury and Dying in Poverty. Louisville, Nov. 10.—A remarkable ca reer was closed with the death yesterday of Mrs. Kate Murphy Anderson. Born of parents closely connected to a royal family, reared in luxury, taught by masters, and graduated from one of the great academies of Europe with high honors, a young lady full ot promise and the prospect of a bright future, married to wealth, and at last an old woman, dead in a scantilj - furnished, dark and gloomy room, almost a pauper. Life would have" gone out and no one near to hear these words whispered with the last breath, “Ail is over now,” but for the pres ence of one bv chance. Kate Murphy was born in Dublin, Ire land, on Nov. 8, 1835—one of two daughters of Sir John Murphy, who christened bis child after an unmarried sister much older than himself. A little later the sister Kate married Martin MeCalie, and to them was born an only daughter, who became the wife of Joseph Fisher, of New York city. Of two daughters of Fisher one became the < lountess Dorauiou, and the other Counteas Gherardesi, the husband of the latter being a descendant of Dantes, t'goline, the other sister of Murphy, became the wife of John Ryan, once a prominent leather merchant of Louisville. In 1873 Murphy separated from liis wife, but not until his daughter hail finished school. 110 remained in the country, his wife and'two daughters coming to America, where both the girls were soon married, Kate becoming the wife of a wealthy citizen of New Orleans in July, 1854. Anderson diod in August, 1857. possessed of quite ail estate, leaving a young widow and little daughter. The child was burned to death while the mother was at church, about two months after the husband anil father died. Remaining in Now Orleans until after the war, she came to Louisville, and found a home with her uncle, John Ryan. At his death in 1882 she was left alon and a little later purchased a homo on Walnut street, near First, where she lived until her death. During the past few years she has been addicted to drinking to excess, but when on a spree always closeted herself in her room. The habit so fastened itself upon her that her property went from her, and then followed a. mort gage on the home, which, only a few days ago, was foreclosed, and notice to vacate the premises given. Although only 52 years old, she had the appearance of one much older. She was an excellent linguist, speak ing fluently English, French, German and Irish. Elephant Sense. from Nature. One evening, soon after my arrival in Eastern Assam, and while the five elephants were being fed opposite the bungalow, I ob served a young and lately-caught, one step up to a bamboo fence and quietly pulled up one of the stakes. Placing it under hi* foot, it broke off a piece with its trunk, and, after lifting itto its mouth, threw it away. It re peated this twiee or thrice, and then drew another stake. Reeing that the bamboo was old and dry, I asked the reason of this, and was told to wait and see what the elephant would do. At last it seemed to get a piece that suited it, and holding it in the trunk linnly, and stepping the left fore-leg well forward, it passed the piece of bamboo under the arm pit, so to speak, and began to scratch with some force. My surprise reached its climax when I saw a large eleplwnt-lecch fall to the ground, quite six inches long and thick as one’s fin ger, and which, from its positson, could not bo easily detached with out the scraper, which was deliberately made by the ele phant. 1 subsequently found that this was a common occurrence. Such scrapers are used by every elephant daily. On another occasion, when traveling at a time of the year when the largo flies are so tormenting to an elephant, I noticed that, the one I rode had no fan wisp to beat them off w ith. The driver, at my order, slack ened pace and allowed her togo to the side of the road, when for some moments she moved aloug, rummaging the smaller jun gleon the banks. At last she came to a cluster of young shoots well branched, and after feeling among them and selecting one, raised her trunk and neatly stripped down the stem, taking off all the lower branches and leaving a fine bunch on top. Hhe de liberately cleaned it down several times and, then, luving hold at the lower end, broke off a beautiful fan or switch about five feet long, handle included. With this she kept the flies at bay, flapping them off ou each side. Hay what we may. these are both really bona fide implements, each intelligently made for a definite purpose.
