MISCELLANY.
SWINDLING OPERATION AT RICHMOND.
A few days since, says the Whig oi
Saturday, (30lh ult.,) a young man of
rather prepossessing aspect, called at the
clothing store oi Messrs. Groshong&
Tuprnan, Main street, and introduced
himself as a cousin of Mr. Payane, ol
ho firm of Littel, Payane & Karhart,
New York, representing, further, that
lie liiad come hither for the purpose of
establishing a branch of their business,
and was then looking out for a store.
Mesiirs. CJ. tfc T., entertaining no sus
picion of the falsify of this statement,
and j having a business knowledge of
the (New York house, extended their
couijteous attentions to the insinuating
stranger. Presuming upon the affabili
ty o Mr Tupmanj the young swind
ler, s he tttrndd out to be, visited that
gentleman on Thursday last, and stated
that he had lost his pocket-book, con
taining several hundred dollars, and be
ing in want of fundsj had drawn on
Messrs Li Pk K.j of New York for
$150 the draft for which he had pre
sented to Messrs. R. H. Maury & Co.,
and! thpy had consented Id Cash the
same, if Mf. fupman would assure
tht-m of the indetity of the drawer-.
Mr T. Unguardedly yielded to the irn
plied request of Payane as the fellow
called himself, and accompanied him to
the exchange office of Messrs Maflfy
6c Co.; who fulfilled their promise by
advancing the nett amount Of the draft.
With unparalleled effrontery, Payane
then induced Mr. TupfMan ta accompa
ny him to the office of the northern tel
egraph line where he despatched a
message ta Messrs. L. P. fc K.-j New
York, requesting them to send him
$1,000. In the afternoon, about 4
o'clock, an answer was received by the
operator to the effect that "Henry Pay
ane't was unknown to the firm, and was
no doubt a swindler. This intelligence
was communicated to Messrs. G. (c T
who then, too late, perceived that they
had been victimized. ' The officers were
made acquainted with the facts and en
deavored to accomplish the arrest of the
swindler, but "the bird had flown.'
He had left in the 4 o'clock special train
for Milford, and remained at that point
until the night train arrived, lie then
took passage for Acquia Creek, and con
tinued his flight northward.
Payane passes for a frenchman, but
has the appearance of a Sew. His com
plexion is dark, and his height about
five feet and a half. He sported a small
black moustache, and wore black cloth
ing and patent leather pumps. ,
FGAST OF THEPENTICOST.
Baltimore, June 1st. The Jewish
feast of Weeks, or Penticost, commenc
ed on Friday afternoon week, and clos
ed on Saturday afternoon. By the Lc
vitical law this feast is a "holy convo
cation,' and a statute forever in all Jew
ish dwelling and throughout their gene
rations. According to the law this feast
is observed by meat offerings and drink
offerings, 'even an offering made by
fire, of sweet savor unto the Lord."
The Israelites were commanded to bring
out of their habitations "two wave loaves
of two-tenth dials," which must be of
fine flour, baked with leaven, as first
fruits unto the Lord. With the bread
they must offer seven lambs Without
blemish, of the first year, 'one young
bullockid ten rams all of which go
up as a ' ynt offering and a meat offer
ing unto the Lord. One kid of the
goats must be sacrificed as a sin offer
ing, and two lambs also as a peace of
fering. No servile labor shall be done
during the continuance of the Penticost.
All these things, however, are not done
at the present day, though the occasion
is observed as a holiday, and peculiar
religious services are held in the syna
gogues. Sun.
ALL THE GOLD IN THE WORLD.
Estimate the. yard of gold 2,000 000,
which it is in round numbers, and all the
gold ia this world might, if melted iota
ingots, be contained in a cellar twenty fo r
feet square and sixteen feel high. All tr.e
boasted wealth already obtained, from Cl
ifornia and Australia would go into an
iron safe nine feet high so small is the
cuba of yellow metal that has set popu
lation on the march and roused the whole
world to wonder. .
HORRIBLE MURDER
The Appeal of Memphis contains the
following statement respecting the mur
der perpetrated, near .Tyr Marshall
county, Miss., fan the 23rd ult. :
"The murdered man, Mr. Blaker,
who resided-, near Oxford, Lafayette,
county, was returning from Memphis, in
a wagon, with his son, a deaf and dumb
boy. When the boy was found, a hor
rible sight -was presented, the back part
of Mr. B's head being broken in, and
two ghastly wounds in the neck appear
ing. vThe tixen were standing1; tHl lio
the road and tHe corpse lay neafcbyj the
sop, who is quite a small boyV was sif
ting in the wagOu trying. Suspicion
immediately rested jiipon two negroes,
one the property of Mr. A . M. Lea j Hud
the other owned by Mr. Frank Locke,
and they were , forthwith affested and
taken to Tyro, where the greatest excite
ment prevailed. An-examination whs
commenced before a tiiagisfrate,- and
the trial lasted the entire, Of Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, and resulted in
the acquital of the accused. AM that
could be got from Mr. B's Son Was that
two persons were engaged in the mur
der, he designating that with his fingers.
It seems that the night previous' JMr. B.
had made a purchase, and, in doing so,,
displayed considerable money, which,
it is thought, prompted tcthe muffler.
Mr. Lea's black boy was present when
the money was shown, and on that ac
count, and his absence from home at
time of the rritlrder. suspicion rested up
on him. About $40 is knowr to- have
been stolen ; $137, which was hidden
under a barrel in the wagonj was found.
The murder is supposed id have been
committed by a ring taken from the yoke
of one of the oxen. The greatest excite
ment prevails in the neighborhood, and
on Saturday it was feared the mob
would lynch the negroes. Mr. Blaker
was a poor, honest, hard-working man,
and leaves a family to mourn his awful
death."
A 8UBE THING FROM THIS 8TABX
A case was tried at Grand Rapid s:
Michigan, a few years ago. A man
who had previously borne a 'suspicious
character was indicted for stealing a
large quantity of pork.
He employed a lawyer of considerable
local reputation to defend him, and al
though the affair had an ugly look, he
was strongly in hopes of getting off clear ;
but when the testimony on behalf of the
prdsectitkm was concluded, his counsel
was about to give up the case in despair.
But the prisoner was as cool as a cucumber,-
and confident of acquittal. He
imfsted Upon, the defence being proceed
ed with.
Have yOft any evidence fo refute this
overwheming array of testimony 1"
"Not a particle."
"Then how the devil do yoit expect
to get clear V
"Never yotf mind, Squire f go off with
your speech. J shall do well enorfgh,"
"I tell yon this is nonsense. Yoti ac
knowledge toil stole the pOYk, and they
have proved it, upon yon to the entire
satisfaction of every man in Court.'
Now what Can 1 say t
" Make 'era a good - speech, : Squire,
and I'm sure to get off."
"Impossible there's nothing that can
be said.'' '
I hired yotf, and I intend' fo pay
you ; but not a cent shall you have un
less you give the Jury a talking."
Under this inspiration, the lawyer
made a rambling,- incoherent" address
I to the Juryj in Which everything was
discussed except the case under consid
eration. On concluding, he whispered
in the prisoner's ear, " You infernal
scoundrel, I ought to be sent to the State
Prison myself, and What yon expect to
gain by (his strange proceeding I can't
conceive.",
Til tell you," said the prisoner,- "when
the Jury comes in."
After the charge from fhe Judge, in
which his criminality was distinctly as
serted and maintained, that intelligent
part of the " palladium of our rights"
retired for consultation, and in a short
time came back with a verdict of " not
guilty." '
" What in thunder does this mean V
inquired the lawyer of his client."
' Oh, I wanted you to make a small
fuss to pull the wool over the outsiders,
but 'twas a sure thing from the start, for
three of the jurymen had some of the
pork "
VERY BAD. '
What may be the cause,' slid an Irish
curate to bis parish clerk, 'thai keeps Rory
O'Kegan from confession an from the
church service, Peter Murphy t
'A sad mailer it is yer reverance it's
himself that's got into a very bad way any

'Ocb, Peter Murphy,' sa;d the curate, 'is

WILMINGTON, N.
HOW HARRY GOrtH WIFB.
It was fifteen years ago this winter
that 1 attended a dancing-school iu De
troit with a young lady then residing,
in the city. Iliad made up my mind
some years before that I would never
get married, but it was such pleasant
business I couldn't find.it 4n my-heart
to Met the girls alone" altogether, so I
paid her tuition fee, and attended the
class in her company every night.
About the middle of the termj several
of the young people, ourselves included,
were talking in the ball-room on the
subject of matrimony, and I," of course,
became interested, as well a the Others.
Ongoing home that evening t , told my
companion- that I had determined to
get, married in the spring, aud asked
her advice in regard to the selection of
a wife. She made no reply fora mo
ment, and I told her if she didn't knw..
any m&i better fit ietF fprmetwould
like to have tief Han k the iimnier iver,
and tell me m hat she thoUgKrbf ma rry
ing -rue herself. I was joking all this
limejyou"musturiderstand, and had
tro more thought of marrying her than
I have how of martying Q,neen Vic.
She promised to think of if, however,
and I returned to my boarding-honsiv
and gave the subject no frfrther thought
until some weeks t later- and as luck
would have it, on 'the last evening the
subject was agairi. brought up in conversation,-
just as we were preparing- to
return toonr, homes for the night. Af
ter leaving the hall we talked and
chatted of different matters, add on dif
ferent subjects till We reached her lesi
dence It was late, and I did not enter
the house, though she strongly urged
me to do so. lhad bid her god night,
and was turning away, when I happen
ed td recollect the promise she had
made, me,- and I said : .
"Helen, yoit promised to let me know
to nighty whether you would marry ""me
this spring. Have you made up your
mitiH".
"Yes," said she, "I have been think
ing about it, but I guess I am a little
too ybung. If it wasn't for that, I would
have no objection."
"Well, good night, then," said I. "I
didn't expect you would do it but I'm
bound to many some one, and this
spring, too." ;
Before leaving her, I engaged to call
again the following.;-. evening That
night I stept soundly, and the next
morning had forgottten all about my
night's adventures During the day I
received an invitation to attend a ball
to be held that evening, a few miles
out of the city and I made my arrange
ments accoidingly. Towards dusk I
rememlered my agreement to see Hel
en, and I thought I would run over for
a moment, and afterwards have time to
attend the ball.
Arrived at the house, I met the lady on
the doorway, and thought for an instant
that she was "rigged up" in nn extra style,
which! was at itio s to account for, though
1 believe I conclude.! that she barf compa
ny i and I was therefore in hopes that I
should not be detninad long., Hrlen wel
comed uie into the parlor with a sweet
smile, and took her place beside me on the
sofa. 1 was expecting every moment t.
set some stranger enter the room and 1
had not yet become satisfied thatwe were
alone, when she said :
"Henry,- l'Ve made up my mind to hav
you' '
Had a thunder-clap struck me, I couM
not have been more surprised, anM after an
instant of hesitation I anarouaefed out
"What did ytfu a j 7"
"I have eonctuffra io marry you!"
"O-oh, you have ! Well, 1 suppose it's
all right -when shall the event take
place 1 .
I thought, if it would suit yo'u, that you
might drive round next Sunday and we
will go Iff mother's1 at Deurbofn, and b-
married there."
"Well, said I, Tfl see if I can," and as
soon as possible took my leave.
I didn't go to the bait that night I for.
got all aboul ft, and I ant over the Siove till
morning, thinking of what a sciape I haH
got myself irrto I even" forgot to keep the
fire going, and almost froze in' my seat.
When dnyligbt began to peep in at the win
do w s, I had mads up my mind; what 1
would do. I would go over and tell Helen
that we must be married immediately, or
not at all ; if she agreed to that, i saw no
ether way but to submit to my fate
When I entered the gate leading Up to
her house I heard her singing a hvely song,
and mvcomicience almost smote lire for
deceiving the poor girl as I had ; but I sum
moned Up courage to ring the bell, and
pulling trp my colfaf and throwing my
head back, 1 anxiously awaited, an answer
(o my summons. She soon caore to the
door, and I was again shotfn into the par
lor, and she took her place besnfe uie on
the sofa, as before.
"Helen," I commenced. ;
"Well, what?"
"I I We must be married to-day, or I
I don't think I shall be able lo be mat
ried at all."
It stuck in my throat as I said it, for . I
knew I was telling a whopper; but imag
ine my surprise when she replied:'
11 Well, just as you please, Henry. You
may drive your carriage around aboul
twelve o'clock, and I wilt be ready.
1 gave up. Precisely at twelve I drew
up before her door with my carriage, and
before night we were married.
Reader, thai wife has been worth more
than f 100.000 to me.
