In -cases of black - „mailing, where relief is once sought, the, detective force are often able to re- store the money, Usually the victim crnninates hiMself so far that he is un- willing to appear before the courts ; so that if the money is restored, which is seldom the case, the rouge escape. Men come to New York to see "the elephant.” They° are not fond of exhi- ting their wounds if they are struck by his trunk. Rural gentlemen, who from the steps of their hotel, follow a blarik stranger who offers to show them the sights of the city, are not willing to tell,how they lost their watches or purses. They had rather lose their property.than have their names got in- to the paper. The black -mailers -under- derstancl this and when they rob- a man, they so commit the victim, that he can make no complaint to the auth- orities without dishonoring himself.

Here he ,worshipped- till the house was ,sold and 'pulled doWn. He seldom attended church after that, stating that he was sold out of house and home. Rev. Mr. Labough was his pastor. Mr. Astor was afllicted -with a complaint that. made it difficult for him to sit long at a time. To a clergyman he said "Men. think me a heathen. I cannot sit in church: I have a painful disord- er that prevents me.', The first Mrs. Astor, the mother of his children., was a member in full communion of the Grove Street Baptist Church. She wasla, woman of .grea.t business tact, high principles, and strong common sense.

Excellent stabling in connection. Ainleyville, April 23 1869. 70.tf. A MINISTER AMONG THIEVES. On Broadway below FOurteenth Street: stood a church. that at one tinae was the most fashionable in the city. congregation was wealthy and large, the minister eloquent and popu- lar: .The belles of the city, with the 7oung and. fashionable, crowded the church when the pastor. filled the pul- pit. In the full flush of his popularity, when a pew could not be hired at any price; when any salary -Would have been paicl to him that he demanded, the min- ister disa.ppeared. Quite late on Sa- turday night the vestry received. alett- er from the rector, dated off Sandy Hook. The letter tendered the rect- or's resignation,.and he announced that he had sailed that day at noon in- one of the Curnard steamers for Europe. The parish was surprised and alarmed. The whole affair was a painful -mystery. Here was a Minister settled over a flourishing and liberal charges with a fine chureh and. parsonage, a church crowded with the elite of the city, with a salary ecnial to any demands he 'might make, with the best sin -ging in the city, and all the popular apolicances, who had suddenly resigned, and private- ly left the conntry, to go no one knew where. The story is a romance. The expla- nation came .after the minister ilea completed his European tour. At rctid- night the cloor-bell of his parsonage was violently rung. Going to the window, the minister saw a man standing on his door -stone and he demanded. his business. He came with a message, he said, from dying woman. Hastily dressing himself, the good Man came to the door and received the message. Just around the bloc& was a poor WOrtil- an, and. she was -dying. Her only treasure was. a babe. ,She . could not die in peace unless herlsabe was bap- _ tised. If his reverence -would come to her dying pillow, and adnimister that sacrament, the blessing of a poor dying woman would be -his "reward. It was miich to ask, and at midnight too, but_ his great master who loved the poor, would net ha-ve denied such a request as this. . His humane and religious sympathies were aroused, and the minister follow- ed the messenger. Common prudence would have said, "Take a police- , man with you. Call: up a friend and et him to bear part in the ceremony." But, dreaming of no peril, be went ion his way to d9, as he thought, his Mast- er's will. . Ile was soon in a dissolete region, in a street notoreous for.its nn - cleanness. The. messenger knocked at the heavy gate, that closed up a narrow dark alley. It opened immediately, and slammed behind the parties like a prison door. Through a long, narrow, and unwholesome entry, that seemed to be an alley -way; *the parties took their way. They passed up a narrow etair- case, broken and rickety. Lewd women were passed on the stairs.. Dark fea- tured and villanous-looking men seemed to °crowd the place. Witla his sacred vestrnonta on his arm, with his book of service on his hand, the minister was -Ushered into a dark and unwholesome - room, .The- door was closed behind him, and locied. A dim candle on the table revealed the ontline of a- dozen persons, male and female of the mest abandoned.' and desperate elass. Bis inquiry for the sick woman, and the child to be baptized; was greeted. by shouts of laughter. He knew he was a victim. He demanded the reason for this outrage. He was . informed that his friends who invited him their sva,nt- ed some money. His standing. and -character were well known. If he paid one thousand dollars all would be well. If not, his ruin would be, certain. In- stead of defying the villans, calling on the police, or confiding in his congrega- tion, he thouiht he could hush ;the mat- ter up. He might have known that it wordd all come out, and that every dol- lar he paid would be used ai evidence against him, or as means to extort more. But he was thoroughly frightened, would not have the thing known for the world, so` he gave his obligation to pay the money promptly at noon the next day, which he did. Of course A WIDOWER BLACK -MAILED. A man about fifty-five years old came from the rural districts to spend a little time in the city. He was wealthy, xe- spectable, and the father of two child- ren. He selected his quarters up town. Among the'bcarders . was ari. attractive California, widow. The widow and widower soon became quite intimate. They both seemed captivated. By mu- tual consent a suit of rooms was taken, handsomely furnished, and occupied by' the parties. A few days after the re- moval, the gentleman was greeted with an unpleasant surprise on entering his room. A stranger sat in his chair, who announced himself as the husbalid of the woman, and demanied heavy dam. ages for the dishonor done his name. The old -man Was frightened nearly out of his Wits. Had he gone to the eolice force, and put himself in their hands, all would have been well. But he did as most men do under such circum-stan- ces—he offered a large sum of money to hush the matter, and, keep it out of the papers, and be allowed. to depart. He paid the money, settled the bills, left the elegant furniture, packed his trunks, and departed. - He was not hist sight of however, for a moment. The parties knew their man and his means ; knew his Standing, and the value be put on his good. name. He was dodged constantly ; he was drawn -upon for large sums of money ; he was Wreathed with exposure, till, driven to desperation and almost begg- ary, be did what he should have done at first—went to the police head quart- ers aud made a clear breast of it.

The re- ceipt was signed. The chief cooly put it in his pocket, with tlie morey which he held in his band. The rogues knew at once that he was a detective. The principal one claimed the woman as his wife, and said he bad alawful right to settle the caseashe pleased.
