Early yesterdsy morning Harlow F. Coy, real- estate dealer and broker, living at No. 11 Park avenue, was arrested on a charge of forzery vreferred by Mr. Gray, of Boston. The affair was placed in the hands of Detectives Bauder and Scott, turether with a warraut for Mr. Coy’s arrest procured by Mr. Gray from Justice Summerfeld. Al Friday afternoon and even- ing the officers shadowed his LuSalle street oftice and the residence on Park avenue, they having been warned that he had an inkling of the investigation, and in conscquence might attempt o jump the elty. After wait- ing and watching until early yesterday morning, the ofli.ers concluded to euter the house. ‘They were afraid to do so before, for fear that he had some councetion with the fu- nates, and might possibly learn that a warrant was out for him. Mr. Coy was found in his bed- room, and upon being apprised of the nature of the call, broke down. But it was only fora moment, and though he_evidently understood the full import of his predieament, he mnastered his passions, and assumed a quict and thouicht- ful bearing. He was brought first to Ceutral Station, “and thence to the Armory When 'he appeared before Justice Summner- ficld the nature of the cvidence umuinst him was submitted to, the Judge, and Coy. waiving examination, was leld in 25,000 and $2,L00 bonds to the Criminal Court upon each of two charzes. Aud being unable to furnist 1ne vecessary bonds, he was takeu to the County Jail. MR. COXY’S ACCOUNT. OVER IN TIE JAIL. A reporter went in search ot Mr. Harlow F. Coy at about 5 o'clock m the afterucon, pro- ceeding first to his oflice in the baseiment of No. 171 LaSulle street. A larze sheer of card- bourd, with the name and occupation of the person sought, announced that no mistake .~ had been made, and the scribe tricd the latch. The door was locked. luside was scen @ desk and achair or two upon a slightly elevated plat- form, which was neatly carpeted. Save these articles, the room was unoccupied. Knowing that Mr. Coy had been held in-some $7,000 bail to the Criminal Court, the reporter concluded to isit the jail, ana, upon inquirlug there, learucd that Mr. Coy had arrived, had bLeen duly welghed, measured, ete., and was at that time occupying Cell 5. An audience was sougbt and obtained. Mr. Coy was handed the report of an evening paper, which he read with grest interest, but, when calied upon to esoress an opiniou, be sald there was but- one thing true in the article, and that was that he lived at No. 11 Park avenue. e was urmed to make a statement for himself, but tins ne refused 10 0o, suyinz that the facts would come out soon cuough. Ie auppeared to be broken up, and, though he was not very demonstrative, he appeared to teel deeply humiliated in his pa 1l position. He wis extremely reticent, and ‘ruarded his speech with great care. He would then kay nothing. Early in the evening the scarcher for facts VISITED NO. 11 PARK AVENGE, Mr. Coy’s residence, which is a boardina- house, managed by bis wife. She was at the time of the call eugazed with two gentlemen visitors in the parlor. Someof the boarders sat outsiae upon the steps talking over the atlair. They all appeared to think that Mr. Coy was o very uupopular man amont al classcs, and was regarded as being “slippery ™ in his business transactions. One ventured the assertiou that e did not seem to_bave a friend in the world save his wife, who clung to_him with devotion, although he uever nssisted her in the least. They said_that he was a very sunctimonious man, zud be carned this <o far that it made him fairly disagreeable. e was a member of the Union Park Congregational Courch, and he hadt a class iu the Sunday-school there.

Had they puid their money to Mr. Coy. they fmagined they would not fare so well. They all appeared to be down on Coy, to the sume cXtent that they praised up his wife. They said she did not appear at sup- per-time. 3 Mrs. Coy did not think it_best to say auy- thing abont the matter. She did not know anything whatever about his business affairs and she did not belfeve there wis a person in the city who did.

COY’S FRIEND. WHAT HE KNEW OF TIIE CASE. For several weeks past, Mr. Coy has been act- ing strangely. Ie persisted in talking about impending troubles, but to hiz friends he would make no disclosures. ¥riday afternoon he called at the office of J. M. Beverly, who on two or three oceasions had acted as his attorney, and left his card, stating that at 9 o'clock he would: make a call on professional business. His pro- pozed visit was not, however, made until later. He called about noon, and was chaperoned by a police oflicer in plain clothes. Mr. Beverly was in Judge Willinns’ Court, When the twain arrived. Mr. Coy made known to one of the clerks that his business Wwas urgent, and a messenger was ot once seut after Mr. Beverly. On thearrival of the latter he found Coy completely broken down, and in response to the query, % What's the trouble?” he replied, ** 1Us finally comes; I want you to loan me a little money to heip me out.” How much do you want "’ 7o ser we straizht nt more than you can give we, bug I want a little to help me out ou some mitor matters.” * \Vhat is the watter? Explain vourself.” “'ve been Tobbed of about $4,000, aud for thelast two years I have been trying to muke it good. Thins have culwinated, however, and I can do no more.” “Shall 1inform your wife of what’s hap- pened!” “Idon’t know: do what you think’s bess.” Mr. Beverly pave Coy soie money, and said he would call over at the jail und see him durmg the course of the afternoon. A press of busi- ness, however, preveuted him from goinw. }'l_lis was all that Mr. Beverly koew of theaf- air. From another source the reporter learned that Mr. Coy had been in the financial breakers ever since the pavic of 1573, and was perenially hard up. It was his impression, from what few rewurks Coy had made, that he had been “skinning” for the past three or four year: He had given 2 chattel mortzage on his house- hold furniture, which jbad been carried by u {riend fora long time, and was daily in the havit of borrowing small sums here and there. Mr. Gray, who was mentioned in_the mat- ter, had been Coy’s warmest friend, and had done everything fn his _power to help - him along, but the latter bad abused the confidence reposed in him, aud 1o reeourse was lett but to bring bim up with a short turn. “Wnat e did with the money,” suid the reporter’s iuformant, s something I caw't, find out. He did not spend it at home, lio was not. a drinking man, aud as for zambling, be dian’t know one card from another,” “Lhe reporter, like ‘the French philosopher, asked, Who's the woman?

Learnivg that Mr. David B. Gray, whom Coy haa so deceived, was stopping at the Sauds House, a reporter of this paper sought him out there last eveuing, and succeeded in extracting from him a oretty fuil history of Coy’s trans- gressfons as he knew them. Mr. Gray is a laree, fine-looking, portly gentleman, wh liead is adorned with the eilver locks betokeninz an approacn to old age. e is mnot unkvownin Chicago, kavinz forwerly beeu the head of the tea-house of Gray, Sherwood & Co., in this city. His preseut business {5 that of a comtnission merchant, No. 78 Commeraial street, Boston. « How did you first _become acquainted with Coy, and bow came you to repose €0 much con- fience n him?” ‘usked the reporter, as a starter. I first beeame acquainted with him-about ten years ago. 1was then living here, aud I rented him a house on the West Side, - and boarded with him for a while. e seemed to be fair, square man, and I considered him as all right. He did business for me. aud continued to do it right until about two years ugo.” (CAND WHAT HAPPENED THEN toshow that he was not whbat you supposed him to be?” “ At that time he made a losn for me, asl supposed, to his brother-fa-lax, Philo Hulett, of £4,000. He sent a trust-deed for a plece of property on Cottage Grove avenue, whien he afierwards showed me and told me abont. I mysclf saw the property. The trust-dced and the abstract, as it turned out. were both forgeries. They were brought up systematical- 1y, and cverything about them seemed perfectly correct. People seldow question anything that comes from the Recorder’s oflice, und the g pearavee of these papers Was so apparentiy fenuine as to decieve the vers eleet. The abe stract showed the title all righit in Iulets, nnd Coy got the $4,000. The Iatter now tells me thut Hulett never saw the notes.” * Well, thut was one inatance.

Well, | sent him the movey to pay it off, and he_ sent me the copy of the orizinal nots siened by the pariy-a Mr. Potter—and the release deed for the $1.000. It was all recorded, the Revorder’s name was signed, and there was the hook and the page iu which it purported to appeer in the record: it turus out now, the page given aid not_exist in the Look. I knew nothing about bis wrong-doiugs fn this instance until I came here afterwards and had to pay the note myrelf, ulter supposity all the tiwe that he bad paid it “Did he decelve you in avy other way ¢ #1 sent him some moncy to pay wmy taxes from time to time, and he sent me tax-tivles and what purported to be duly signed receipts, fu now turns oui that those reecipts were fore- erics.

We went to the records to tind it there, and it Aidn’t appear atail. ‘That was pretty conclusive, and 1 saw he had cuchred me.

To say I was surpnised und grieved wouldw’t begin to express my feelings. My trust in him was gone, and I took my busivess entirely vut of hishands.

The latter was awav then, and nothing was doue. At last 1 con- cluded to COME ON MYSELF, for it was nccessary for meto swear out the warrant for Cog’s arrest. I saw by this time that Towed it ds a duty to the pudlic o expose him. As for gettiug my mouey back, 1 fad hen and still bave no hopes of that. I resched here Thursday night, saw Assistant State’s-At- torney Webber Friday, and showed him several of Cov’s letters to we, now in Mr. Morse’s possession, in which Cov explained all the detalls of securmng loans, ete. There was also one letter written after I had afsmissed Co; v him to Morse. Webber saw that and said it was cnough to show Coy’s guilt, if there was ootn- ing elsein thecase. Mr. Webber referred me to Judre Bovden, the case was put ip the de- tectives' hands, and the rest vou know.” +Did you ever aceuse Coy of these forgeries?” “I tgok him (o tusk Tor them when [ was Dere before, and he owned rizht up to it.” “DID IIE EVER BXPLAIN ANYTIONG! “Well, he tried sbout s year agu to explain the $100 note—why be had to sive it—and in his explanation b ent “throngh 2 long riem: role that was the foolishest mess of stuff I ever heard—somethine: about belng blackmaiied by soma woman; fLhat be had to have money in or- der to gzet himselt out of the scrape.” . “Did_ne give the name of the alleged black- mailere” “ Noj he @id’t go into particulars at all.” “ Then you discovered the fact of the forge- ries in Murch, during your lust vieit beret? . “Yes. I went to him with what I had learned, and he confessed to me all about the Hulett and Potter matters.” “Did he offer avy excuse for his wrong- doing “ None at all. e wrote me letters, nll of the tearful sort, but they explained nothing.” * Have you any of those letters with youi” “Yes, I"have 2 number here in my valise, but most or them are in Mr. Morse's sufe, with the checks, notes, deeds, cte., all of which will o to the Grand Jury, I suppose, and be nsed in the trisl. What letters [ have with me are of the repentant, remorseful sort, and not the ones on which the iudictment will probably rest.” A little persuasion was needed to induce Mr. Gray to tive up the letters, but the persuasion finally trimnphed over his disinclination to tura thew aver. The first one is probably TUE MOST AVFECTING in the lot, showiug how utterly miscrable the man was at the discovery. of his deceit. In the first part, it will be soel. he refers to a mort- gage he had boped to give Mr. Gray for the amount of which he had defrauded him, in which laudable hove, it scems, he was disap- pointed. The aflusion to Mr. Gray's beiug secure in case of thewriter’sdeath is explained ore uily in another letter, where mention is mude of a life-insurance policy, presumably for Mr. Gray’s bewelit.

At arecent visit to Perkins Institute, I was indebted to the kiuduess of Mrs. C— for the pleasure and privilege of sceing Miss Loura Bridgman, the well-known pupil of Dr. Howe. The Institute is in South Boston, not’ far from ‘“‘Dorchester Heizhts.” It stands on an clevation commanding & fine vjew of tha glorious “ Boston Harbor,” and we feel very sorry for the poor little folks who crowd round us, and who cannot see. never have scen, the bright, dancing waves. We wonder if they really do Wwisn to see itall, ns we are confident we should wish, were we in their places. If such is the case, then it can be buta momentary longing, ns it leaves no discontent on tie happy litele fa We were admitted to the Institute by a very pretty blind girl. with long, curly hiair, and dark eves, and Wwhowas nbout 17 yeurs old.” She ushered Gs into a_cozy litle park and after a short conversation, during which she was emimli’ At ner ease, conversing in a subdued, lady-like tone, she very kindly saug for us.” The sonzwasa plaint- ive lictle ballud, and her voice was u pure, sweet contralte, pretty fairly cultivated. Wethanked ber very swcerely, and at the reguest ot Mrs. C. she went to anuounce us io Laure, the bright, particular star of the Institute. In a few minutes a lady dressed in gray, and wearing spectacies, quietly glided into the room, and it was bard to believe that this self-possessed per- son was in anvway diflerent from ourselves. Laura Bridgman was born fu New Hamp: shire in 182, and though now over 48, she up- pears about 35 years oid. Asn baby she was brieht and beuthy, but discase lefs ler at 4 ?’enl’s of age in s most pitiable coudition, both plind, deaf, and dumb. In the words of Dr. Hovwe, *the darkness sud sileuce of the tomb were round her,” und we are incapable of fully realizing her dreadful condition st thut time. Can we imagine a belug more totally dead to all external infiuences, or a more hopeless task than her education? {1837 Dr. Howe, having seen aud exumined Laura, finding her well- formed, of 8 nervous, sangzuine: temperament, and possessing a remarkably well-shaped bead, brought her to Boston, his great heart full of the ides of educutinte her. After unceasing efforts, which we recount fn n few minutes, but which occupted montks, he at last made her comprehemd bis purpose. Like all blind ebil- dren, sbe was taughi by giving her objects to feel, and thew the letters. which spelled the numes. That she undersiood quickly was evinced by ber laying the words by the proper objects. Ur. [iowe writes, At this stage her mind began to work,” and she understood that away was being opened by which she could comtnunicate the thoughts of her own mind to i the 2 To tell you of her future progress from thab time would require 100 much space, but that Dr. fowe was uutiring in bis work, which was crowned with succs the woman nierself is a proof. Laura is about mediwn beizht and very slen- der, with small, delivate hands and feet. Her {face was pleasant and happy looking, but at the same time had an expression of busy thought, which impressed me from its rarity among ledies nowadays. When she camic into’ the room, she threw her arms around Mrs, C—, who she already loves, and would uot be persuaded to leave herside fora moment. The blind girl then put her hand in both of Laura’s, und ny signs, which were read with wonderful “rapidity and _acouracy, I was iniro- duced us o friend of Mrs. Cs, who was * desirous of knowinz Laura Bridizman, of whom so much has been said and written.” Woman-like, she was immensely pleased with this bic of flattery, and siznified o desize to make my acquaintance’ through the medium of her unerring finger-tips, with which [ tremblingly complied, as she s quick and unchaugeable in her likes and dislikes. Fortunately, I found favor in'ber “mind’s-eye,” but not on my own_ per- sonal merit. Womnun-like, aruin, ‘she loves finery. and one clotlied in_“purple uud flue linen » Is sure to command her nbounded ad- miration. Ter expression was very dubious, a her hands wandered_slowly over miy face end shoulders, and she Jooied a Jitzle undecided ns to the erits of the case, until her finvers touched wy silk sleeves, which suddenly turned the seale in my favor. Her fuce became radient, she _threw up her hanas, swayed grracefully to_and fro, makini o little, delighted sotnd, seized the hands of the attendant. aud telegraphed quickiy that she thought *Ms. C.'s friend wes fine—very fine.”” - In this counection was told me a very funny story of her. One daya very fashionable triend of Mrs. C., swho was to suil for Europe the next, expressed a desire to see Laura, which was acceded to, but when dressed for the call the lady suddenly discovered that ouly a pair of lisle-thread gloves were at her disposal, the ‘*best’ ones being safely vacked up. She was iv despair, but it was sugeested that the poorlittle inmates of the Institute would hardly be critical ju such a matter, so she veutured to wear them. After the introduction Laura’s fingers lizhtly touched the lsdy’s dress, and shc nodded ap- provingly st the soft velvet with which her finrers came In coutact, but when she reached the gloves they proved even too much for her. A moment she hesitated, Jooked perniexcd, and then broke into a merry laugh. Being ques- rioned, she owned that she was laughing ot the idea of “wearing a velvet drees und cotfon ioves.” When it was expluined she was deeply penitent, and, with an odd Ittle enrisey, be- wed nernin and again that the lady would pardon for her rudeness. At my request Laura broumht some of her work for my inspeetion, and how #he ever made the litlle lace tle now in my possession is a mystery to me. It is of fine white thread, perfect i evers part, and com- pares favornbly with specimens L have senn made by people who bave the use of their tvo eves, and who were not deul to instruction, ‘either. The money which “as given Laura for her work exceeded the price of the artlcle, and 1 wondered how she would know: but without a moment’s hesitation she telerravhied that she “ywould go for the change,” which she did, and alwavs does do, without assistance. She showed me a jewaled ring, which Madame Suntag had given her, and of which she was. very proud. Laura conducted us into a bright, iry school-room, tull of little girls seated at their gesks, busily sewing, all of them blind, suid many of then deaf and dumb. Do .you think it was 2 pitiful sight? Not a bt of i Thelr little faces were brizht aud happy, lool ing cager to_learp, and devply interesied io their tasks. It twas impossibie to realize that these children were in auy way differcut from others, and that they truly conld not see, hear, or speak. Some little wee —ones were Jnnghing softly over a juke, hidden from the grown fotks, and perbaps at their exvense, but which tickled the youngsters immenscty. and wade me lone to kiow what it was all “ahout and laugh with them. So cheery everythinge 1noked, 50 brizht, €0 home-like. Why, it would shame any other children’s school 1° ever saw, ond lots of nauzhty little folks I know, who must Iearn, would find in this case something to ery for when the 4, 1, C's have to be studied without any eyes. Many of the children were very protty, and 1 regretted exceedingly havinge missed an exhibition which was given Inthe morning. Laura procured a needle, ani placing the against the tip of the tongue, passed the thread through caught it in her fingers, and In_a twinkling presented it to us threaded. This she did s nes, well pleased at our admiration.
