will abolielt the very unsatisfactory man-
ner of publishing the results of the
Teachers' examination, viz by the num.
ber used by the respective candidate.
It's a Chinese puzzle to everybody except.
the persons writing or their immediate
friends. It can't surely be neceesary to
have any secrecy about it and the names
could be published with very little more
labor than the figures.

more apparent than the craze of some
families of wealth to secure matrimonial
alliances for their daughters with third

who find their way to America, are the

Milan, the deposed King of Serria, who
managed some time ago to obtain a di-
vorce from his wife, the beautiful Queen
Natalie, by means most discreditable,and
who since his dethronement has been
living a fast life and contracting huge
gambling debts iu Paris, is to marry an
American heiress, who is willing to pay
off his debts and keep him in funds
merely for the sake of having a broken-
down and divorced king for a husband.
The deposed king's debts amount to about
three millions of francs,aeed his creditors
who were very clamorous a few weeks
ago have been quieted with a promise f
that the will all be f
y paid when Milan o
marries the American moneybags.

Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
WissnrsxeN, Juil' 18, 'e0.
What is known as Washington "so.
ciety" is subjected to shocking surprises
much more frequently than it would be
if what is knows as Washington 'society'
exercised a little more common sense and
careful discrimination in its make-up.
Washington society, to be wortby of the
name in its best sense—reputable and re-
spectable, a credit to itself and at the
same time creditable to the National
Capitol—should know considerably more
than it seems to care about the con-
stituent parts of whish it is composed.
Society, in order to be good aooiety,
need not be exclusive to the extent of be-
ing pretentious above its merits or
measuring worth by arbitrary standards
of wealth or title; but the moment it
opens its doors promiscuously to the
frauds and shams, abs adventurers and
intriguers, who are always rapping for
admittance, simply upon the strength of
an impudent presence, or a loose way of
spending other people's money, that
moment "society' ceases to be good, and
becomes something that ladies and
gentlemen, with due regard for their
reputations should be careful about soil-
ing themselves with. But all of what is
known as Washington Society is not to
be harshly criticised. It embraces with-
in its "charmed circle" many excellent
persons. Yet there is no society in the
world so liable to be imposed upon, and
for this it has only itself to censure.
Thera is no society in the world that
admits applioants for membership upon
such elim credentials. Htmdreds of
men and women, young and old, find
their way within its portals with far less
recommendation than the lady of the
house would insist upon in biring a ser.
vant for her kitchen or a hostler for her

How shall I get into society ? is a
question frequently asked by the new-
comer. It is not a difficult conundrum.
The solution is easy. At least moiety
places no obstructions in the way that
the most worthless pretender to social
recognition may not overcome if he have
sufficient adroitness and audacity.
Society regniree few qualilioations that
are not found in the fashionable man-
nerisms of the day, the arts of address,
the affectation of affluence. Character
is taken for granted if it has the re-
quisite gloss. Worth is too tedious a
thing to be inquired into where a pleth•
uric pocketbook fs snspected. And as a

"There is just ono thing more I should

"Stop, stop," moaned the oil man,
—"And that is tho murder of Temple-

The old man looked up.
"I never dill that Heaven knows
that is the truth. I never did that. I
confess the rest. I confess the abduc-
tion of Annie Templeton and her mother
—but blood has never stained these
hands, No, it was not until after the
death of Templeton, not until after I
had heard of it, and knew what its effect
was, that I conceived the idea of seizing
and concealing these women and press-
ing Preston's claim. No, I'm not guilty
of that."
"You old rascal, don't lie to me,"
cried Tom angrily. "I know the whole
plot. Why, you hoary headed villain,
if we could go back to the dark days of
English vengeance, and not only hang
but draw and quarter you, you would
not get half the punishment you de-
serve."

tinued. Tom. "You were a tool of Pier -
son's; you knew lois previous life, his
change of names; that the Templetons
were the rightful heirs; that by killing
one and imprisoning the others—the two
defenseless women—you could begin to
make that old drunkard's claim good,

Tom repeated the question, but re-
celvc'd no answer.
The chief, Hanford, said: "All right,
my man, but you ver confessed, arid el
leoce won't save yon now."
"Well," said the murderer doggedly,
"I thought Templeton was his right
name and Fountain a false one he used
among the girls."
"By Joce!" said Tom,"Inever tbought
of it before. Do you know, Mr. Fountain,
there is a strong resemblance between
you and Templeton?"
"I have heard it noted before," said
Fountain. "It is not strange; the sane
blood ran in our veins."
The old man Parker had been strug-
gling and making unintelligible sounds
in the other room.
Tom ordered the removal of the gag.

"But this murder, boy, this murder;
that was not in the game."
"No, it wasn't," replied the sen with a
bitter laugh. "It was a side issue of my
own. That man Fountain, curse him,
stole my girl from me—Marian—and I
had it in for ]aim. That's all. Now that
I'm done for, I'd give every day I yet
have to live to get at him once."
"Marian. What Marian? The Iilarian
who lives in Hudson street now?"
"The same," said the son.
"What tangle is this?" moaned the old
man. "She has the girl Annie's mother
in her keeping now, and site herself is a
daughter of James Preston."
"The number in Hudson etreet, please?"
sato I.O.M.
"There's little use in concealing any
thing now. It's No. —."
"Let me handle that part of the .ease,
please?" asked Fountain. "I'll guarantee
to return Mrs. Templeton safely."
"As you will," said Tom. "You wil
do well to take some of the chief's met
with you. We can spare two."
Fountain departed with them at Ince,
"Now, chief," said Tom, "I think it
would be well to take our bag of flame
to the Central office. The play is over
and the lights are out."

"The three prisoners would be far
more welcome if some one else than
ourselves were to bring them," sardon-
ically remarked the chief.
"Undoubtedly. But let us go. Hand-
cuff them all together. Come, let us
set out, Shadow and ono man fn front.
You, I, and another man behind."
.As they moved out in this order, a dis-
appointed voice commented:
"Day only bit him onct."
At the Central office the three prison-
ers were arraigned, and Tom said briefly:
"I charge this man Parker with hex-
ing murdered Henry Holroyd Templeton
on the morning of the 1811s of last .Au-
guet, by his own confession.
"I charge this man, George Parker,
with having been the alder, abettor and
instigator of the abduction of Annie
Templeton and her mother, this day, by
his own confession.
"I charge this man, Scar Top Johnny,
other name to me unknown, as beingthe
aider and abettor of the abduction of
Annie Templeton, and of havingkepb her
in confinement contrary to her will."
"And I," said Chief Hanford, "charge
him with being the abductor of a child
in Hartford, and claim the reward of
$2,000 offered for him."
"Bat," said rho officer, "what aro the
details?"
'"Lock theist up, inspector, and read
The Sol to -morrow morning," said Tom.
I can't wait; 11'e after 11 now, fend I've
a long story to write,"
Tofu enjoyed his "beat,' hugely, and
was for several days the hero of his
office, tile wonder of his compete tors, and
the envied of the detective farce,
One thing, on the morning of public:t-
