HOW A DETECTIVE FOTTSTD TTTf OUT. People who live in the Bower-, or the vicinity of Hester street, New York, or who have had occasion to be much in that loc ality, will probably remember a hobbling old man, somewhat lame, and supporting himself on a thick stick, Avho Avas often to be seen there on Sundays, as Avellas week days, some two years ago. He w as decently dressed, but was known only as "Old Sam' He Avas supposed to live in New Jersey, but no one precisely knew. He Avas gen erally taken ,for a farmer, or for a resident, in some outlying- place. People called him also "lame Sam," and whoever heard his ever-quiet mode of speaking, and saw the friendly smile that Avas always lighting up his face, must have taken him for a very harmless man. And whoever met him on Sundays wending his way to church with a most devout aspect, must assuredly have thought that he was a very good old man, Avho was going there out of pure piety. But ''lame Sam" was very little of a saint: on the contrary, he Avas a most arrant '.scoundrel, .who,; to get money, Avas capable ot any wickedness, ant only went to church from bad motives. In everything' lie did he had a dishonest abject in view; and, al though,, he Avas generally considered - a good old man, he was, in truth, nothing less than a crafty, deceitful scoundrel, and the confederate of a notorious forger, burglar and safe tliief named Crosby. . Sam had been running his evil coarse for some years and had systematically cir culated counterfeit money wlere ver occasion had guided him in his wanderings; a pro ceeding which was easy enough to him with his seemingly honest face, and an aspect from which one would have thought; that he could not haver -said "boo" to a goose. And fortune favored him so well and so long that he succeeded in aecumulati ng a um of mdnev which enabled him to buy a fino j'arni in QnakertoAvn, Avhich brought mm lira handsome return. . Sam was. always at Avork,:for the circula tion of counterfeit money continued to : re main his' only occupation. But he continu ed this vile businessso ; cautiously, so craftily, and under snch-a pious, air, that it never occurred to any one to take him for Avhat he really Avas. And so, as he hob bled about from place to place, he was al- n tl 1 C7 l JlV CM-fc V. V- ' tii 11 11. 11 w i v wvi ' 1 until one day the chief of the United. States detective police. Col. "Whitney, conceived a suspicion against him; and thus the man av ho had lor man a veafs been cheating people Avith false money began to le watched. -V As before remarked, Sam always carried a thick stick, which, as he said, he could not do without, because he was so lame, that he therefore required a strong support. Wherever he was seen, .wherever he went, sitting .or standing, he had the stick con stantly in his hand, lie never let it 'go from him. 13nt one day the thought " oc curred to the detective who was intrusted with tlie case, that there must be something more about the stick than at first appeared, and he determined to come to the truth of it. About that time there Avas a large num ber of counterfeit notes in circulation in New Jersey, and as far down as Maryland. The detective officer, Avorking under the assumed name of Rugg, found out that Sam often paid visits in that direction. So the officer scraped an acquaintance with Sam. At first, meeting him on the road, he would go with him; then he very soon took a journey on tlie railroad with him, and the two were constantly in bar rooms and beer houses together, lie drank and gossiped with him, and thus the ac quaintance grew thicker; at last on one oc casion Sam was observed to pass a counter feit ten dollar bill in a hotel, and soon after to repeat the action in another house. " Koav the officer went to work Sain. was traveling about hi New Jersey, .'but .Rugg was watching' him . unobserved; and, one dav, just after Sam had come out ot a hotel in a country -place, the detective Avent in and asked "whether Sarri had spent any money there: , "Yes," answered the landlord, "fifty cents. lie is an old miser never siays throuirh the nijrht." "What money did he give youi asked Rustst "A ten dollar note. "Mav I see it? "Y'es, here it is," ansAvered the publican, takin? the note out of the till "Thp note is bad," Rugg quietly remark ed. "The de-il it is," cried the host. . "Xnthino--but a counterfeit mv friend! Not worth a cent." . "Damn it !" shouted the publican, and he burst Into a torrent of oaths.' But Rngg whispered to him: "Now be quiet, friend,' I am a detective. Leave the rest with me and take care of the note till I return." Pn """ "" 6 the road alter bam, soon overtook mm Sam had just come out of a store upon laA'ed i a similar as he Avent in, yards of calico. Have you anything good in that way?"

"Well," then gi-e me three yards, bam ith another bogus ten the store with his calico "tor his daUffUter. anu nine uoiiais aim . -r- a , ... , , I fortv cents of good money m his pockets. Meanwhile Rugg had altered his dress, beard and hat so that Sam could not re- cognize him. He also, as he fell into Sam's road, leigned to be somewhat intoxicated, 'How are you getting along, old fellow?" said Rugg, in a stammering voice. "Where are you going? 7 Sam: stopped. They gossiped for a little while, and then went off together. itngg asKea &am Avhat he had m his little parcel.

Sam gladlv re- ceived such a good opportunity to do busi- ness, and he gave ilngg two counterfeit five-dollar bills, for, thought he the fellow is so drunk, he will riot know a good note from a bad one. Rugg now begged Sam to go to the store with him, then they would go along together; and, as they set off, Rugg noticed as if for the first time, Sam's stick. "What a curious stick' he stammered. And so saying, he took it out of Sam's hand, looked at it on all sides; and examin ed it to see if the large top unscrewed. It did; he screAved it off, and found that inside a string was fastened.! I ', Sam Avas iioav on thorns, but he -was a cunning fellow and knew how to control himself. ' Rugg pulled out the string (which had a knot at the lower end) and out fell a little roll, of bank notes, lie pulled again; an other little roll fell out, and then another, till altogether there Aere tAvelre rolls of five and ten dollar bills. Uugg, Avho still pretended to be drunk, laughed aloud, apparently at the quantity of money he had pulled out; Avhile Sain was confounded and hardly knew wfiat to say. , "Hallo, you are rich, old fellow, very rich," cried Rugg. a Sam collected his bills together again. "Do you think that they are good ones?" asked Sam, soon recovering himself. Rugg looked at tlie notes and replied : "Yes, indeed, they are all good," Avhile he had noticed at a glance that they were all counterfeits of the kind most recently put into circulation. "It iscurions,'' said Sam,'-"I have earned this stick more than tweutr A ears. It be longed to my father, Avho is dead, and I ncA'cr in all mv life knew that the head would unscrew.'' "Twenty years!" stammered Rugg; "and: you have had ltjill the tunc ? ."Yes it has 'never been out of my pos session." , "It seems to me," remarked ltugg, still feigning drunkenness, 'that vour notes were not printet d at that time?'7 That Avas a delicate iiucstioii: but bam Avent on as if he did not hear it; and when he had gathered all his notes together, he said. 'fYou wanted to so and buy something 1 " IIIIIITTIIIII'. I' MI II Ml 11 F 1. il 111 LLllill !., 1,, , o.l .1 o,1 tV. we .will e;o along together." , j, - .

"It is a bad one," remarked Rugg quietly. "Bad," cried Sam, "that is not possible. Then I will very soon take it back to the place I cot it from. I am an old man and have not vcrv good : sight. Is it not a shame to cheat an old man like that?"

All the police appliances of the Russian Empire were at once invoked, but the orderly could not be found "within the vast dominions of the Czar. He was at length discovered at a town in Belgium, where he was serenely engaged in making up the letters in an attractive book., of 300 300 the had or 400 pasres, and the book was on point of being issued, for the fellow had mnili. nsn nf his tlmfi "V- timfi .- to be lost. But Russia had no extradit rri n m nrnl tlifi TlfloiaTi wilhno- to accommodate see how the publication could be suppress- ed. Exasperated at this state of affairs, the Czar threatened to invade Belo-inm at once with a powerful army, utterly reckless of the peace of Europe, unless the culprit was surrendered. Alarmed at this extraordin ' ary threat, the Belgian king set about, find ing some pretext upon which the orderly might be arrested. It was finally ascer tained that he Avas printing his book Avith- out the usual license, and he was promptly taken into custody. With his unfinished volume and stolen letters, he was humed across the Belgian line into Prussia, where the agents of the Russian government were ready to receive him. He was soon m St. Petersburgand in twenty-four hours after "r road to receive hira. He was soon in St. Aras on his way to Siberia, under sentence of a life servitude in the mines. The next letter from the Emperor in formed Alexis that his missing letters, par tially printed, had been recovered; and the vounsr centleman was admonished to be a little more careful of his love missives m the future. Had these letters been published, a pro found flutter would have bceu created a moncr the fairest if not the best of the War's Waste.

In Cologne, as in many other cities of Europe. the. hotels are not lit by eras: thev still have the old fashion of candles, and when yon go to the room the domestic goes be fore you, enters, lights two candles on tho mantel, one on the bureau and one on the table, all set in showy, silver-plated can, die sticks. Perhaps they burn five min utes, not enough to injure , the shape, of them, and tho same tiling is repeated the following night with new' candles. When yon settle your bill you will find yourself charged with any number of candles at 12 cents apiece, anl in some other street, at the shop windows, you will gee f the burnt candles of this hotel, and of all the other fashionable hotels in the city, exposed for sale. It provokes the honet, upright English very much. I have kpown some English tourists to take them out of the candle sticks, and go out and give them to the beggars.
