Finally the meet ing took place in the waiting room at the bridge entrance. To all outward appearances the young woman was all that'she described herself. She was a blonde of distinguished appearance. She was probably a few* years more than twenty-one, but her bright com plexion and fair face gave her a girlish look. She wore A SEALSKIN 8ACQUE, a coquettish bonnet of rich material, and at her throat sparkled a pin with five large diamond stones in it. Dia monds, large and with the blue white gleam that tells the pure gem, adorned her ears. She carried a silk umbrella, as the evening was wet. in her letters, she had given the detective to under stand that she was the daughter and only heir of a wealthy merchant w ho was dead. She had all the money she w anted, and for that matter would pay all expenses if she only met with a gen tleman to her fancy. At the first in terview she carried out this character to perfection, suggesting that they should go and have supper aud a bot tle of wine, and handing the detective her pocketbook which was well filled. The practiced eye and suspicious mind of the detective, however, did not be iieve that everything was as it seemed. When they parted she asked him to call upon her at her home. She lived by:herself, she said, because she want ed to bo independent and free from prying eyes and curbiug interference. The detective called and found the young woman situated in elegant apart ments, sumptuously furnished. The detective bad been exercising his wits how* to trap her and get a confession of her true character. After some con versation he suddenly remarked: “Now, I am going down South to the New Orleans exhibition, where I have goods, and may be gone for a month or six weeks. I w ill introduce to you a friend of mine, whom you can meet in the meantime.” “is he well fixed?” she asked with a suspiciously eager voice. She meaut if he was wealthy, and that told the whole story as to her character and scheme. “I thought you did not wrant mon ey,” the detective replied. The young w oman’s whole manner changed and she appeared as a woman of the world who had come to the con clusion that all men were her legiti mate prey, especially wealthy married men. “That story,” she observed, “is good enough in the beginning, and, besides, I don’t expect anything of you, so I don’t mind telling you who I am and what is my game. I suppose you will be surprised when I tell you that I know who you are. From the time I met you at the bridge entrance the other evening until you went into your own home after parting with me, you Were shadowed by a youug man whom I employ for that purpose. But although you are a detective I have no feelings of displeasure towards you. You ara pursuing your course and I am pursuing mine, and, recollect, I have some of the biggest men in this city—men in the most important offices —behind me as my friends. This house is mine and it and everything in it paid for, and l have a nice bank ac count aud my “Jimmy” ought to be well fixed with all the money I have given him. Jimmy is my working friend,” she explained. “He puts up jobs find helps me to work them out. He is well known in Brooklyn. Now, as I feel in an exuberant mood to-night and do not expect any company, we can have a pleasant talk and some thing to drink,” she remarked in a gay and affable manner, ringing for a ser vant. She drank euotigh wine to make her talkative and the detective’s eyes were opened by the revelations shr made. “It is true,"-.&he said, “that I am well connected in this city, and j don’t mind if I tell you the names of some of my relatives and friends.” She men tioned several names that are well known on both sides of the East river. ., “Lbftgau my escapades early, when I was fifteen and was attending a pri vate boarding school. I had to leave there, but the matter was hushed up for the sake of the school and of iny friends. It was about this time that 1 became acquainted with Jimmy. Do you remember seeing in the newspapers a report of a famous breach of promise suit?” she asked. “Well, it is worth telling. I became acquainted with a wealthy gentleman. I played the modest young girl, and led him on un til he really- adored me and proposed marriage. I could have thus been set tled for life in fine circumstances, but could not bear the idea of becoming an old man’s caged canary. Jimmy then put -up the job. He got me to write him a nnmber of letters, and with these in his pocket he called upon my old gentleman beau. ‘I have heard*’ said Jimmy, -that you were about to get married to and consid ered It my duty as a gentleman to let yah get a glimpse of HER REAL CHARACTER. Read these letters and then act as you * The old gentleman read the with surprise that rose to intllsp- both of them clasped hands ' me in vigorous Saxon.

We talked over roy un happy situation, and he agreed to take a chattel mortgage on my furniture for hundred dollars. He did not give almost entirely incapacitated for work. He rapidly went down hill, and all ef forts to rfcuse him to a sense of his deg- toJregion-were futile. The reporter last saw him in this condition over a Washington, Feb. 3.—The attack on O’Donovah Bossa waa to-day’s sensa tion to Washington. Congreasman Finerty expresses his deep regret at what he terms an attempt to assassin- brer this affair.’ Senator Kiddiebeiger’s desk was adorned with flowers this morning.

The chal was a scheme to get his name. After the mortgage had been drawn up and signed and 1 had received the money, we opened a correspondence anil he called to see me two or three times. Then came a letter from him raptur ously calling me his love, his affinity, his soul-wife and all that kiud of stuff. With that letter I nailed him. I turned it over to ‘Jimmy,’ and he - had a very matter-of-fact interview with tlie rapturous pastor. He released the mortgage and paid down- $2,500 in cash. I hope the lesson-will be north the money to him, and that in future lie will keep away from young widows in distress.” Tlie lair professional blackmailer gave the name of the pastor who was thus tempted into sin and made pay so dear for being tempted. ANOTHER CLERGYMAN IN HER GRIP. In reply to the question if this was the only experience she had... with Brooklyn pastors, shesaitl: “No; there was another case, and it is the only one in all my operations that I felt a twinge of remorse for. , I tempted lain in a spirit of devilment to see what was in him more than for mercenary pur poses. There were several meeting at his church. I went there anil pretend ed to lie very much impressed. When tlie services were over I still remained on my kness with my face buried in iny hands.

New York, February 2.—O’Dono- vau Bossa was shot by a woman this evening on Chambers street, near his office, and is reported to be dead. Later.—The shooting of O’Donovan Bossa took place at 5:12 o’clock this af ternoon. He is still alive. He was to front of the Stewart building on Cham bers street, when; he was approached by a handsome young lady dressed to plain clothes. She wore spectacles and had the appearance of an intellectual- looking school teacher, She drew a five-barreled revolver from her dreai pocket aud leveled it at him and fired one shot. Bossa threw his hands up above his head and cried, “I’m shot.” He then fell heavily to the sidewalk. The woman fired the remaining bullets in her pistol at the prostrate man, and calmly and unconcernedly walked off with the smoking revolver to her hand. She was followed by a large crowd, while a still larger mob surrounded the wounded dynamiter. City Marshal James McAuley, to the absence of a a policeman, saw the revolver in the woman’s hand and arrested her. She was conducted to. the Twenty-sixth the change, lend, “I used to be :ry hard "drinker, "as yon know. I tried several times to quit, but could not. The appetite for strong drink was too much for me. If 1 went with out it for awhile I became a nerv'ous wretch. I had to driuk or die. A thought was suggested to me one day, though, and I made up my mind to make oue supreme effort to rescue my self. I reasoned this way: A man takes liquor into his stomach, and the stimulant, through the blood, affects the brain. Now, I thought .if J could what I -S3S&JS&; nag*s.

A citizen who entered the police station with the prisoner said she had just shot a man on Chambers street. “Do you know tlie man ?” asked Sergeant Cass, turn ing to the woman. “Yes; I shot O’Donovan Bossa,” said the prisoner, with a slight English accent. She look ed very pretty as she stood at the bar, aud betrayed no excitement whatever. She gave her name as Yseult Dudley. How to K Gloucester, X.J., Special. Alexander Harney, late a justice of the peace of this place, is the defend ant in an action brought by his wife for alimony on account of alleged de sertion. The defense is quite novel and is without precedent in court pro ceedings. The defendant alleges that he left his wife for justifiable, cruise; that for a period of two years she kept him in a state of constant physical pain by the application of croton oil to his undergarments, and that when this off came in contact with his skin and was subjected to friction it acted as a tor ture, especially when walking. When frequently out, as his wife al right. If L could get liquor, the aroma, the essence of it, without taking it into the stomach, I know I could drink at pleasure and not become intoxicated, as drunken ness could not ensue if the liquor did not enter the stomach. I say this idea was suggested to me, and it was in tills way: 1 had noticed that men who made a business of buying and selling wines in large quantities sampled them and ascertained their quality and bouquet by taking two or three mouthfuls in succession, rolling it around their tongues, as one might say, bathing their palate in it—in short, subjecting it to tlie severest tests by the organs of taste—and then ejecting it from tlie mouth without swallowing any. The remembrance ot this came Upon me one day when I was perfectly s iber but terribly despondent. I re- solved to try it. I did, and have met with the most gratifying success. You may laugh, but it is the solemn truth. I took a large drink of liquor, but in stead of letting it pass into my stomach I checked it in my throat and gar gled it for a minute and, then spat it out. To my. joy I found my thirst for it almost as much appeased as though I had swallowed the liquor. I tried it again and again, with the same effect. I was not made drunk. I have fol lowed this plan ever since, aud have not been drunk since, although I have gargled the liquor, never swallowing a drop, as many as a dozen or more times a day—the same number of driuks I used to take. The plan is a very simple one, and is, I believe, the only one for a slave to the cup.” “Has your appetite increased ?” “On the contrary, it has decreased. By the means I adopted my brain has become clear and strong again, and my will power is as good as it ever was before I became a hard drinker. In gargling the liquor I got the benefit of the flavor, and all the satisfaction to my appetite, without losing my senses.” Company* manners. Early Dews. “Sit down, will you, please, and wait a moment till mother comes?” said a little girl to two ladies who came to see her mother. And will you give me a glass of water, Martha?” asked one of the la dies; “I am very thirsty.” “With pleasure,” answered Martha, and she presently came back with two goblets of water on a small waiter, which she passed to both ladies. "Oh, thank you,” said the other lady; “you are very thoughtful.” “You are quite welcome,” said Mar tha very sweetly. “When Martha went out of the room, one of the ladies said: “This little girl is one of the loveliest children I ever met. How sweet aud obliging her manners are!” Let us go into the next room and see. Martha took the waiter back into the dining-room. “Me drink! me drink!” cried little Bobbie, catching hold of his sister’s dress aud screwing up his rosy lips. “Get out, Bob!” Martha, “go to Bridget.” “Don’t speak so to your little broth er,” said Bridget. “It is none of your business what I say,” cried Martha, tossing back her head. “Martha!” That is grandmother calling from the top of the stairs. “Wnat?” screamed Martha back. “Please come here, dear,” said grandma. “1 don’t want to,” muttered Mar tha. She, however, dragged herself up stairs. Unwilling feet, you know', find it hard to climb. “Martha,” said grandma, “will you try to find my specs? I am pretty sure I left them in the dining-room.” “No, you didn’t,” cried Martha, ina cross, contradictory tone; “you ahvays lose them up here,” and she rummaged round the chamber, tumbling things over like the north wind. “No matter,” said the dear old lady, seeing she would have much to do to put things to rights again; “no mat ter, Martha; they will come to hand,” and she quietly put down the newspa per for by and by. Martha left her and went dow'n stairs with a pout. Oh, dear! where are Martha’s civil, obliging manners? Why, those are her company manners. She puts them on in the parlor, and puts them off when she leaves the parlor. She wears them before visitors, and hangs them up when they are gone. You see she has no manners at home; she is cross and disobliging and rude and selfish. She forgets that home is the first place to be polite in—In the kitchen as well as in the parlor. There is no spot in the house where good manners can be dispensed with. Hln Lala Hurst, Special to Constitution.

Every day the dynamite question is expected to come up in the House in some form. There is much criticism of the foreign affairs commttee for the delay in reporting the resolutions on this subject, whicn have been referred to it. Chairman Curtin is said to be opposed to auy action whatever, even in the form of a resolution, deprecating the recent outrages, but there is a deep and earnest sense that Congress has some duty to do in this direction, SENATOR BROWN’S GAME. The True Inwardaeu of Hie Visit Home. Letter to Bonner-Watchman. Washington, Jan. 29.—Joseph E, Brown left here on the morning’s train for Georgia, to stem the tide of opposi tion to Speer’s nomination. The scheme is to utilize certain Democratic papers in Georgia known to be at his beck and call. One will come out in favor of the continuation of Speer probably next Suuday, upon the ground that any factious- opposition to Ar thur’s appointment in. this case will give an excuse for the Republican ma jority in the Senate to embarrass the incoming Democratic Executive in like mauuer. Senator Brown’s . organ iTi another city, will take, the same line, if not ed itorially through its correspondents from Washington. The word has gone out to Joe Brow*u’s faithful few, and liis present visit to Atlanta is to see that his command is carried out to letter. Let the Georgia Democrats watch this little game, aud see if I am not correct. The purpose, as you will see, Ls to bulldoze Colquitt. He will not break down, but feeling himself entrenched behind every honest Dem ocrat in Georgia will stand square np to the mark. Your course in the mat ter is warmly commended by every Democratic Congressman here, and the Banner- Watchman is eagerly sou_ after by both Southern and Northern Democrats. We are not only ou a hot trail after Speer, but we are getting powerful close to your Uncle Peter Lawshe. We have strong hopes of de feating both confirmations. Watch the pointer that 1 have given yon, and see. if certain Georgia dailies don’t adopt tlie line that I have mapped out. /:> _ Democrat. THE INAUGURATION. To be Mode the Meet Magnificent of Them All. Washington, Jau. 29.—The air is full of inauguration talk. The inau guration excites as much interest here as the Exposition uoes in New* Orleans. The girls are talking about their dresses for the inauguration ball, and the pol iticians are thinking about the patron age to be divided after the ball. Every State will have a hand in the inaugu ration. The arrangements are the most elaborate and comprehensive ever known in the history of inaugurations. Washington is, aud always has been, a red-hot Democratic city. For twenty- four years the local magnates have been compelled to take a back seat, and leave to strangers and imported patriots the work of preparing to in stall the successful candidate. On six consecutive quadrennials they have, after strenuous exertions and faithful effort, been forced to pocket their dis appointment and look on at the tri umph of the opposition. This time, however, they have won. Although they do not vote, and are no more fac tors in the result than so many of Mrs. Stanton’s and Mrs. Blake’s pantaletted followers, they feel that their victory is as intimate and as personal as though their individual ballots had done the work. The fact that Senator Gorman was Chairman of the Executive Campaign Committee heightens this feeling. Gorman is looked upon as a Washing ton “boy.” He comes from Howard county, Maryland, only twenty miles any other city, events, the election of Cleveland is re garded as a triumph for the city, and the whole community is concentrating itself on the production of the greatest show on earth. There is no doubt that the prepara tions are on a scale of unprecedented grandeur, from the procession to the ball and supper. It is the biggest tiling ever known iri Washington. In the item of fireworks will be found a specimen of the prevailing largeness and splendor. It is confidently assert ed that no such display was ever de vised. For example, there is a single piece 300 feet long and 60 feet high, which is to be discharged at once. The effect will be prodigious, and so will the procession and the ball. The building set apart for the latter has the largest room in the country. It is larger than the drill room of the Seventh Regiment armory in New York, and is surrounded at an eleva tion of thirty feet by a balcony. Six thousand people can dance comforta bly on the main floor, and three thous and can look on from the sides and bal conies. In all respects, and in every one of its appointments, it is the grand est affair of the century, and the credit for most of the labor and design is due to the Washington Democrats. leges, in the - evenings."

But there is a large ac- cumulation of articles of greater or lees value—usually less—which arrive at the dead letter office, which are never called for "by those to whom they are addressed, and whose owners or send ers can neither of them be found. When these articles and packages of articles have accumulated in sufficient quantity to warrant it there is a sale, by auction. Formerly there was one in every two or three years, now the accumulation is so great that it is found necessary to have the sale every year. The packages which are exam- ami ned at the dead letter office are made up again, sometimes the eon- tents of two or three put in one, some times bundled together again'as they were received, wrapped in brown pa per, and sent to some auctioneer to be sold. Hie sale is advertised, and usually draws a pretty large attend ance. Nobody is permitted to exam ine the contents of the package being sold. The printed catalogue tells briefly tlie contents.of each, but not with sufficient detail to give much idea of what they really contain. And the catalogue is not consulted by all the bidders. So the buying of these pack ages, numbering thousands as they do, is much like a lottery venture. Indeed, it is largely because of this that the sale attracts so large a number of peo ple. The auction room where it is conducted is usually crowded and the sale is very interesting and sometimes amusing. The class of articles making np these mysterious packages is so varied and so ludicrously combined as to cause shouts of laughter when they are opened. As a rule buyers do not open the packages at the auction rooms, for they know that they run a risk of making them selves a laughing stock. There are usually enough who run this risk, how ever, to keep the crowd in a good na- tured roar, and show the fanny uses that are made of the mails. One pur chaser at the sale just closed, got in one of the packages which he bought, a black wool hat, an old fife, and a pair of old red drawers. His amnsement and chagrin was no greater, however, than that of a man who found the con tents of his package to be alot of dam aged underclothing for the gentler sex, four ladies’ linen, collars and a small feather for a lady’s hat. Still another lot turned out, on examination, to be a child’s bib, a pair of cheap ear rinj two spools of thread. and a rubber aper. Another got as his prize seven teen papers of fine-cut tobacco, a but ton-hook and a pair- of socks. One package which excited roars of laugh ter from everybody but the purchaser contained some cheap jewelry, a but ter knife, a sugar spoon, eleven old toothbrushes and a button-hook. Still another had two pairs of chidren’s hose two handkerchiefs, a worn apron ant four old night caps. One purchaser was made happy by finding in his very heavy package Gaskell’s Compendium and an old jelly glass. One individual, presumably a government clerk, got in his package a hook entitled “Why we are Democrats,” another bought handsomely bound Bible, and another a copy of Hoyle’s Games, whatever that is. There were large numbers of corsets, large numbers of “harmoni ca’s” and hundreds of packages con taining both men’s and women’s un derwear and overwear in all stages of cleanliness and otherwise, and all con ditions as to wear and wearing possi bilities. False teeth, worn rubber shoes, a circular saw, a pound of tea, bottles of tooth wash, electric batteries, suits of clothing, several watches, ant quantities of jewelry were among the curious articles entrusted to the mails. The post-office department accompa nies the catalogue of articles with a brief suggestion' to the public that if those sending packages would see that they are well wrapped, carefully ad dressed, and bearing on the corner the name and address of the sender, the losses would not be one-tenth what they are now, for if they were uncalled for and undelivered they would be re turned to the senders. -FASHION POINTS. The hair is fashionable and it rigvtur dressed high. The tan-colored kid glove still holds its own in the world of fashion. Short velvet and broche mantles in dolman style will be worn in the early Spring. Silver and gilt threads in the braids worn on cashmere suits make them stylish and dressy. Stripes of all widths will again he worn, but not so fashionably as plaids and checks. Green twilled woolens make up well with a vest of ecru, cloth, that may be further enriched by many rows of braid. The indefinite shadowy broche de signs produced by the Jacquard loom an; seen in many of the new spring goods. New satteens in all the new shades of color for grounds and in new flower and leaf designs showing ideas of the incoming season. Ail flounces are superfluous on cloth dresses, as they only add to their weight, and the plaited skirts are ob jected to for the same reason. The woolen basque has a pleated vest of the silk, and the silk shows in the wsition pieatings. Velvet" ribbon may te set on each flounce, and- also used on the basque. Fancy tea aprons of muslin and lace Fancy tea api id of Turkish towels embroidered in tinsel and color are affected by fash ionable hosteses at 5 o’clock teas or for afternoons at home. While the fancy of the season is for combining wool and velvet, there are also many dresses that are partly of the plain gros grains or of the inexpen sive satins of a single color. The combination of blue over red seems to be always in favor both with fair and dark women. For the latter a collar, vest and cuffs of red velvet will make almost any bine shade be coming. A band of fur forming a fichu around the neck, and sloping at the point of the bosom, is considered very chic, worn with only cloth suits, when only a jacket or no wrap is demanded by the weather. New plaids are as often large as small, and in fact ail checked, barred, jlahled and black pattern goods come n graded sizes, from the smallest to the largest, and in every imaginable eon hi nation of color. The small-figured brocades are still much used in combination with plain woolens, and may be in a lighter shade than the wool, or else of two colors, one of which is like that of the wool, and the other In contrast with it. The holokus or Mother Hubbard slip is the popular little girl’s dress in Eu rope.' Mere it takes the name of the sash dress; but it is subjeet to many variations in the superimposition of draperies, plastrons and sash belts. So fixed is the role of cloth dresses for the street that ladies who have two new snits order one of rongh cloth for mornings and plain wear, and a second of broadcloth or fine “corkscrew” cloth for afternoon visits and for church. The woolen salt that finds most favor is made of three pieces, viz: the skirt with drapery attached at the belt, a basque and an ontside jacket. For inch a suit eight yards of material are —“How does x skating rink strike you t” asks the POt Comity JTtr*. It don’t strike us, at all, neighbor.

It would doubt less be a great saving to many fanners in that portion of the county.” So it would be. It would be a great saving to the people in the other portion of the county also. —The Banner-Watchman shows that the lawyers up that way have a queer idea as to the proper place for leaving their buggies, wheh adversity over takes them. It says: “It must have been rough times in Watidnsville this week, as two lawyers had to leave their buggies in pawn for their board, and ride home honeback.” —The Houston Borne Journal con tains this sensible paragraph: “In Houston county the compost heap is annually becoming more potent as one of the prime factors of successful farm ing. This does indicate that commer cial fertilizers are of less value than formerly, but that the true value of barnyard manure is recognized.” —The following item of interest is from the Atlanta Journal: “The Gov ernor has issued an order directing the Comptroller General to suspend the collection of license from disabled Con federate soldiers who make a support by peddling in this State. This law already in force, but its strict construc tion applied only to those soldiers who lost limbs in the late war. A few days ago a soldier who had lost his eyesight applied to the Governor for exemption from the peddler’s license, and iq granting his petition Governor McDan iel issued a general order exempting all blind soldiers from the payment of the tax which is $25 in each county, until the next meeting of the Legis lature.” —The Enquirer-Sun contains this par agraph, giving the status of the retail liquor question in Columbus: “This is the last day in which the retail liquor dealers can sell whisky under tlie old license. The $500 license goes into ef fect on Monday". The dealers held meeting yesterday afternoon to further discuss the course to be pursued by them. We are told that they decided to abide by the resolution -previously adopted by them, to take out no license to retail at all. A dealer said last night that those who remained in the busi ness would sell only by the quart. They claim that under the high license they have no protection against the wholesale dealer who- is allowed to go along selling whisky, by the bottle at the same old license. The whisky question is assuming an interesting phase, and the result will be watched with interest.” A NORTH GEORGIA SCENE. How a Justice Court Was Held in (Gwinnett tbe Other Day. Gwinnett Herald. Our justice court was held on the 17tb inst. The first case in order was a jury case. The jurors were called aud swom In, evidence heard and the lawyers made their arguments and the jury retired to makeup their verdict. The bailiff then called! the attention of the crowd to bis sale. The property of fered was a cow and calf. After some bids they were knocked off at $23, About this time a colored girl abont'18 years old came up with a two-edged knife and cut the cow loose from where she was tied. The bailiff seeing what had happened, says: “I say, ga], by the authority of tbe law, stop there, once, twice, three times, stop!” but the damsel paid no attention to the ex cited bailiff. The bailiff turned to the J. P. and said: “Judge, what shall I do?” He replied: “Arrest the girl or cow, I don’t care which, for we are obliged to have something for our part.” The bailiff went up to the girt and said; “Consider yoursrif under ar rest.” Tbe girl replied: “No, I won’t, nuther, white man; don’t you pntyonr hands on me agin; if yon do I’ll wear dis court ground out wid you. Dat’s what I’U So.” The baiHff seized her, but no sooner than he had done so she fired away with her fist and struck him a terrible blow. The bailiff turned her loose and fell to the ground crying for help. “Bun men,run! Help! Ca >hire! foxfire! number six! whisker! irandy! I am hurt.and hurt bad!” With help the cow was rescued from the fighting damsel, and it took two men to tie her. The excitement was so great that it liked to have caused a stampede with tbe jury that was tryi to make a verdict, and they return._ the following: “We agree to make a mistrial.” By this time the bailiff had sufficiently recovered to come np, and be then t id there threw up his com mission. The bone indnstry ot the country is an important one. The four feet of an ordinary ox will make a pint of neats- foot oil. Not a bone of any animal is thrown away. Mmiy cattle shin bones are shipped to Europe for the making of knife handles, where they bring $40 per ton.- The thigh bones are the most valuable leing worth $80 per ton for cutting i to tooth brush handles. The fore-leg bones are worth $30 per ton, and are made into collar hnttons. parasol handles and jewelry, though rf“»p’s legs are the staple for parasol lies. The water in which the bones are boiled is reduced to glue, the dust which comes from sawing the bones is fed to cattle and poultry, and all bones that can not be used as noted, or for bone black, used In refining tlie sugar-we eat, are made Into fertilizers and made to help enrich the soil.
