THE CITY. NOT AN ABDUCTION, A “RTSTERIOUS DIBATFEABANCE" ACCOUNTED FoR, On Saturday morning © young fellow noned Priest appeared beforo Juatice Boyden at the Bouth Bide Polico Station on a chatge of disor- derly conduct, proverrad against him by a gen~ tlomen wall known in City-IIall circles, bat, as tho Iatter failed to prosecute tho caso, the prisonor wae discharged, and no fur- ther notico would haye been attracted by tho osgo but for tho subsequent dovelop- meonta made by @ Tninonr reporter, Some months since the gentleman took into his house a8 nursemafd, on the recommendation of tho Biaters of Meroy, a young, modcat-looking, and rather protiy girl, who, by her steady demoanor snd the ftniul manner in which she did hor work, soon ingratinted herself into the good will of her masser and mistress. Evory day in- eroaeed the confidence placed in her, and, as bor charge, an infant of not a year old, had grown quite attached to her, itwas with much alarm that, Isst Wednesday, it wae discovered that sho was missing. Scarch was made for her ovortwhero, and the a: began to assume tho appearance of one of those mysteries which avory now and then occur in large cities like Chwago, When rome strange whispers came to tin vars of the girl’s employer which raised a u..spicion in his mind that ehe had been abduct- ed. Following up the train of circumstances, hin suspicions fastened at last upon the young man named Priest, who is tus ciolk of James H. Thorp, of Iuventors' Exchange aud brick- macbino notoriety, This young man had 8 sleepivg-room at *tho jInventora’ ‘Exchange, in Lawrence's Buildivg, on Clark sireet, and, armed with the necessary authority and assiat- ance, the gentleman brokoon Friday Jast into Prieat’s room, where the presence of the girl was proof of the correctness of bis suspicions. ‘The young man Priest and the girl wore at once romoved to the Armory Station, the former be~ Ing booked on the charge of disorderly, while the latter was romoved to the home of her em- ployer, where every one Was delighted at her re- appearance amoung them. ‘Io the wifo of her employor the girl professed that che was the in- jared patty, but tho gentleman declined to take her back to his family until he had cross-queetioned her upon certain matters which bad been alleged regarding her since tho beginning of thotrouble, Thorceult of this crose-exsmination was tho acknowledgment by tho girl that a chargo of abduction could hardly stand against Priest, a8 she had beens consenting party to hor desontion, whule tho idea of a more serious chargo, which the gentleman bad intended to prefer against lim, had to bo abandoned when the girl confossed that, though ‘but 17 yeara of age, she had tived a life of shane for three years in Veorin. On receiving thi in- telligence it was decided to abandon the prosecu- tion againat the young man with the clerical eognoinea, but thete is no doubt that aftor this scandal the Colonel" will not ho able to take his lady back to the Inveutors’ Exchangeto hve, but will be obliged to seck other quarters at which to take in parties having the money to jnyest in brick-machines, burgiar-alarins, and the other little articlea of which tha ‘Colonel ia willing to sell the patont rights early and often. The name of the gentleman ia whose hause tho girl was acting a8 nuree is suppreared at his request, though it may be stated that he nctod through out the case with oxcelleat judgmont, and with a forbearance that both sinners may congratulate thomeelyes upon.

To the Editor of The Chicuyo Trigunes Curcaco, Feb, 6.—Perfect combustion coneists in s thorough chemical umou of all the constit- uaut clameuts of fuel, with the requisite amount of oxygen, from the atmospbese. Smoke con- sixts of tino particles of carbon, from fuol, in the state of an impalpable powder, which are held ju auapension, unelained, and carried of by tho volatiio products of combus- tion, and water from tho fuel, which paseca ofan steam. Those fino particles of carbon do dot unite with their equivalent of oxygen, first, because they are not iu o gascous state; and, second, becange tho hydrogen contained in the fuel escapes and uuites with oxypon at a lower temperature than carbon, and takrwup all tho oxsygon that ordinarily gole throvgh the fuol, much even of the hydrogen passing off uneom- binod.

The spprehonsion was, that, when the Domvcrats stopped votiug for their own caucus nominee, Gon.

It became ovident that, a8 between Judge Cole and Carponter, tho latter would beelected. Con- soquontly tho eighteen Republicans were obliged to cast about for some othor Republican for whoin tho Democrats would yote sulidly in pref- etonca to Caiponter, ‘Tho uoxt delicate point was to frame a plat- form on which bozh parties could stand. ‘ho declaration of reagone put forth by the elghtosa anti-Carpeutor Reputlicaus formed the bass of tho compromise platform. ‘Chosa two important documents aro a8 follows, [hey aro hore omitted, a4 bota declarations Lave already ap- poared in our columne, and ono familar to our readert.—Ep.. ‘The pronmbls and resolutions were road in the Deimocratic caucns for discussion aud considora- tion.

Upon such informal vote being declared, ho addressed tho Joint Convention sy follows : Gentirmen : There te one question pending here upon which it fa right for me to peak and that is in relation to myself, Twice hava I been elocted Sens~ tor; once, eighteen years ago, aud again twelve yoare ago, by tHe free, tnsolicited choice of the Legislature of Wisconsin, ‘Chere wes no gathering of tings or ofiiceholders, One hundred dollars would cover my personal exponsoa in Lot eluctione.
