The loss of bis wife seeed to weigh very heavily upon him, so . zuch 50 that, for 3 time, his friends feared it wouid seriously impair his mental as well as ysial beaith. From tlus, however, he bad teen gradcally recovering, and for the past year e bad become more cheeriul and more inclined sorenes his coctal retations. I bave recently learned that duriog the past wister Mr. Angell suffcred from a disappoint~ mest o some sozial affairs and became some- it depressed in consequence. 1 am now informed that subsequently he be- came careless in bis babits, and tinaily fell into direputable associations. These, however, if £nch there were, rmust. have been of very recent standing. and vothing of them was koown to the poblic or amobgst his intimate friends. Jt was bis custom. With ine consent of the Direetars of the Company, to take a summer vacation of £%0 Or three weeks, which he gen- erally spent in the East. His woing, therefore, at about the usual time. excited no sus; especially as he proposed to meet me in New York on my retaru from Europe, where 1 had been daring 1he eurly part of tae summer. On eriving in New York, on the 7th of the present month, { expected Mr. Angell would peetme in a dav or two; but as he did not cope por advise me of his address, I became somewhat anxious adout him, especially as I bxd beca advised that his bealtn was not ood stthe time Le left Chicaga. For the purpose of fading out his condition, I sent for his brother ad dispatched him - to Saratoga and other laces which Mr. Angell said he -intended visit- ‘v, but no intelligence of lnm could be obtained. It s2ems also that Mr. Angell’s absence from 1he office of the Company here without leaving =y address, or communicating with any of his asocistes, taken in conmection with what had ourred ghortly beiore Lis going away, began toexcite some comment, which being communi- cited to me, added somewhat to my aporehen- suns, avd § immediately came to Chicago and ixttated a thoroush examination. This de- Yeloped the fact that Mr. Aneell had disap- teand with funds and securities of the Co: vaos, The amount taken by bim, although considersbie, is not sufficient to occasion the Compauy may embarrassment, nor to interfere with its regular business or dividends. The possible maximam of loss sustained is $130.000, partly in cash, and partly in securities of the Company which were in his custody as Secre- The money he drew out of bank was mpon sochecks of $25,000 each, representing to our Casbier that Lie was senaing it to the oflice of = Company jp New York, and that proper Taschers would be returzed,—evading or over- ndfar the custom of the oflice, which required ‘Tourhers to accompany every paymentol money. Sogrest was the confidence reposed in bis in- tegrity and honor, that this action on his part enated no unezsiness in the office until his pro- tacted absence without furnisbing vouchers or commanieating his address became of itself & @se of suspicion. Nothing bas been heard from him since he ¥entaway, so for 2s we have been able to ascer- ain. It is possible that he converied the secur- ities, 820, with the proceeds and money ob- tstined, has gone to Europe. The Company is lready taking the most vigorous measures for Mr. Angell’s apprebension, and proposes. it possitle, to recover tbe bonds and sccurities abstracted by him; but, for obvious reacous, 1be measures adopted cannot be made public.

On that day he weat over to the Pamer, en- zazed & room there, taking bis meals at the Chiago Ciab-House, just opnosite, and Teft in about 3 week for the £ast.

Charles Angzell is a younsr man about 3¢ years of age. fle wasborn'in Rhode Island, and has been in the cmploy of the Puliman Palace Car Company for fourteen years, About tour years 290 he was marricd 1o a most” estimable ludy, by whom _ie had two children, one of whom 13 hiving.

Smith, Esq. To her he beeame much attached, and last April he asked her to become his wifc, which_suc refused, and this, it is said, led him tolead alife of dissipation. Up to about two months awo Charles Angell boarded at Grand Paciic Hotel. ‘The people there ail give Lun 4 zood reputation.

About five days betore that he claimed to have been taken down with illness, and in the interim he calied o his bedside the girl Sa- die, an jnmate of Carric Watson’s establish- ment. She spent three days and nights with him, unknowa to the clerks or proprietor of the house. Mr. Augell enjoyed the coutidence of tue Pullman Palace-Car Compavy. He became attached 10 the corporation as Seeretary when it was comparatively a small insticution. ~He urew ub with 1t, and progressed with it 1 vosition.

Up to ashort thne awo he had _beeu receiving $4,000a year, but about the first of the year 2 number of the sala- nes were cut 10 per “ceat, aud he accordingly dropped to $3,600, which amount he received up to the dute of tis departure. A .- 13 BROTUER. Last eveniogu t'an E reporter called upon Mr. William A. Angell, the Purchasing Agent of the Puliman Couipany, with a view of ascer- taining some of the particulars of his fraitless search after his erring brother. The news- gatherer found him after 2 joug search com- fortubly stretched out onan Hastiake bed in the liguest styie of art. He was covered Ly onme of those ormate quilts that are the bete boir of patciwork judmes at a county fair. Of Mr. Angell there was nothing visible but his head, arms, and hands. In tue last uamed he held au evening paper, which, with the aid of & full-moon pair of glasses and a flickering masligut, he was en- deavoring to read, It is 10 be hoped that ne did 80 to his entire satisfaction. The reporter made koown his errand, and the “spees” wers quickly turned upon him. “Yes, sir; what did you say you wished to know #? The manner of the question was crushing in the extreme, and sugzpgested the hauteur of Bluford Wilson, when he was out herc thres {(l;:us ago after the membersof the Whisky ing. =1 wish to know all about vour travels in seareh of your errant brother, Mr. Charles W.

You've got it all iu the statcment furnished by Mr. Pullman. Pve just returned home aud know nothing, AB- SOLUTELY NOTHING. Twenty meu have talied to me about it to-dsy, and { told thet ABSOLUTELY NOTIHLL ‘The reporter expressed his regrets anil with- drew, carrying v ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that. would throw any additional light on the matter. Ruwors have, it appears, been in circulation for u short tine among baukers that i THINGS WERE NOT RIGNT in the Puliman Palace-Uar Company, They bad. in some mysterious way, smelt out the stealings of Mr. Angeil. One of thew,speaking of the matter yesterday, put th: deficit ag $200,000, bu that i5 of course an exngwerated statement. He was questioned as Lo whether any of the stock of .the Company bad been hypothecated with him, but safd that noue had been. It was one of the theories on the street that forzed shares to a large amount bad been issued by Mr. Angell during Mr. Pull- man’s abstnce abroad, the other name which Wwas necessary to complete them baving been forzed by Mr. Angell. It anything of this sort has been done, it cannot be toid for aday or two,~until the bankers, if any, with whom the shares have beeu hypothecated, present them for verification. "Of coarse, if = Mr. Angell bad gone to 2 bank with alot of shares, and wauted to borrow tnoney on them, being 50 well known, bo questious would have been asked, and be would bave zotten the mouey. It was supposed for a time that he had LOST ON SPECULATIONS, and some surised that he had been short on wheat, und others that he had been long ou stocks. He was naturally thrown iu the way of men who were in tie habit of speculating in stocks, and nothiug would have been easier for him than to have judulired fn the same fascinaz- ing pastime. ‘Those who know him best, how- cver, assert positively that he mever did any- thing of the kind, and that he was sinzularly dree from that form of excitement known as gambling, whetber with cards, or in corn or stocks. It is pretty apparent that he badwt lost anything in the shape of speculation, but that all the mouey which the Compauy has been deprived of went directly into his pocket, and is now with him_on the “other side ot the water. There fs no doubt that the disapponiment in love which he met with Jast spring bad much 1o do i unsettling Dis mind, but yet it UARDLY SUFPLIES A SUFFICIENT CAUSE for bis deliberate rascality. Deliberate it cer- tainly was. The only cxpiabation that can be advanced is that this disapvointment had made him extravagnnt; that he had squandered larger sums cthan his saiary wouid stand; and that, secing that D¢ must tinally come to gricf, he decided to plunder 4il he could. secure 2 competence, and decamp. A disappointment in love ¢oesn’t make 4 man @ rascal necessarily; and there was doubtless some other motivé yer unexplained Iying back of it all, to send bim off to Europe.” He may have meditated it for years, and have waited for 4 1avorable opportunity. Apart from what he sent on railroad excursions, aud what he lav- isued recently ¢n the girl Sadic Wilson, RIS PERSONAL HABITS were not especially extravazant. He got zood pay, but_helived comfortably and well, room- 10z at a first-class hotel, eating at an expensive place, and_having a well-paid bods-servant to attend 1o his wants. He dressed well, but not estravazantly. sud was not in the habit, as far a8 know, of running up bills. So far as heard, all his_outstandinz accounts with tailors and shoemakers are closed up. The discovers o1 this grand-larceny business ‘was a severe shock to the officers of the Com- pany. who found it almost impossible to be- lieve that a person who had been in their em- ploy for yesrs, whow they had trusted implicit- 1, had thus abused their confidence; and that, 100, so-deliberately. If it had ocen a mater of 8 theft due to’ a sudden napulse, or to an overwhelning moment of temstation, they might have pardoned it. But deliberate treach- ery of this sort, planned for weeks, and so cautiously and systematically carried out, was somethmg that thev-could not formve, It de- stroved their confidence in buman patore. It is understood that % IMMEDIATE STEPS WERE TAKEN . to see what could be done for Mr. Angel’s ap- prebension. Cable dispatches were gent to the detectives at London and also at Paris, giving fall descriptions of his person. the steamer by which he left, ete., and urging that measures be taken for his arrestif he could be found, and the holding of him until a representative of the “alone. Company reached the other side. It fs not be- lievcfl.,h{\mver, that these attempts will, at vresent at least, be successful.’ * He had studied the situation too well wot to know where it was safe to go, aud where it ‘was unsafe. He knows very well that it will be difficalt for him to so bury his identity as to be safe fn England or iy France. Asfar-as conld be as- certuived, the bulk of the money which he took was in Americin currency, and it might be diffi- cult for him, being a stranger, to change it on the other’ side without iving a clue whick would lead to his capture. Some of the mouey, it is_ thoucht, he changed into Briusk gold. How much i8 unknown. Under these eircumstances his residence quar- sers 1 Europe are somewhat limited, Belgium, which is an extraordinarily small country, being one of the lew sections where he is saic. 1t is not unlikely, however, that, with the many days’ start whicl hie had, he bas Zotten out of Europe into the East, and he may there bury himself so completely for months aud years as to b un- reconizable when be again Teturns to civiliza- tion ‘The ehild which he ieft behind him is believed to be amply wrovided for.

Coaspicuous mmong the jewels' for grande” toilette are diamond stars, marguerites, wild roses, crescents, and other tasteful devices for the hair. Sometimes only a single star is worn, sometimes a star and crescent, and again five or even seven, secured by long pins of gold. Dia- mod stars and flowers are also worn down the front of tbe corsage, and again on a velvet around the throat. N . But the latest and most extravagant idea in diamond setting is diamound lace. Aloneside of this, cloth-of-zoid seems cheap indeed. The mesh or web is made of five silver wire as deli- cate as the threads of the finest Point @’ An- gleterre, aud the pattern of flowers, foliage, or other devices is worked upon the surface and formed wholly of artistically-set diamonds, just as the patterns appear in point lace. This dia- mond lace is used for trimming the corsage, sieeves, and other parts of elaborate toilets, but, 48 the cost of the cheapest that can be made is $5,000 8 yard, it is not likely to become com- mon. Collarettes of the same rare and costly fabric are also made, : For bracelets the most recherche are the soli- taire jewels set in a narrgw.band of gold, aud of these several are worn upon the arm as rings upon the fingers. Thus a sapphire, ruby, and diamond arc often worn upon one wrist, and verhaps a piuk, white, aud black pear! upon the other. Or, if a single wide bracelet s worn, it way be in the form of a serpentine coil, perhaps six to eight strands, graded in size and fitted with springs 5o as to clasp the arm and retain its place wherever it may be put. For pendants the must novel and curious zre Set with fancy- colored pearls, black, pink-bronze, yellow, saluiou, and gray, together with those possess- ing the beautiful iridescent **orieut ™ so highly prized ; or again, with fancy-colored diamonds— for theére are diamonds of ail colors, and they are nmow eagerly sought for. For car- rings, solitaire diamonds continue to lead, though some tasteful devices that go well with the new .collarcttes and ~ diamond flowers are formed of i little blossom of dia- mond-pancd leaves from which the solitaire is pendani. Soltaire pearls are in high favor, and all the rarer-colored stoues are also worn in the curs. A ucw departureit is to wear different jewels in the cars, as a sapphire in one and u Tuby in the other, or a ruby and a diamond, 1s to have the two alike s but a repetition and not 50 effectivi For riugs, the solitaire diamond is still the “favorite lor an engavement token; but sap- puires, rubies, and pearls arc being used more frequently. There is a variety of new settings forrings. One very pretty style formed witha daimond of fair sizt, and a saphire, ruby, or emerald equally large, set close to each other, the band or shank being set with fleur de ls or other ornumecuts wholly formed of small dia- monds, which completely cover the ring. One stvle of ten-stone hoop ring, composed of two rows of five stones each, is urranged as follows: White diamond, emerald, yellow diamond, ruby, and white diamond in one hoop; ruby, white diasnond, sapphire, brown diamond, and em- erald in the otner. The effect of this combina- tion is hizhly novel and pleasing. Charmiue effects are produced by combina- tions of cats-eves with diamonds, moonstones with sappliires, and other arrangements of the Tess known colorea jewels which Lave suddeniy sprung iuto high lavor among persons of ele- ant taste, who no longer worship the diamond Oue of the most popular pieces of Jewelry in fashion is the veil or lace pin 1= fouud so serviceable for many - purposes. A roultitude of devices are scen, such as fern leaves, flowers, ears of grain, arrows, daggers, cat-talls and other plants, lizards, serpents,— indeed an endless variety of pretty and appro~ priate desigus, which are accurately formed of metal sud then completely paved with dis- mouds. Inall-gold, or less exoensive jewelry, the same articles are worn.

Yew York Correspondence Harifora Courant, Mrs. Paran Stevens has married her daughter into the English nobility at last. The case presents a notable instance of an ambition early conceived, persistently adhered to, and tri- umphantiy realized. Mrs. Paran Stevens was what one of our Boston wits once called “a cnophouse impressario.” Her husband was the first great hotel-keeper of Boston. When I first remember him he was Keeping the New England House, ahotel at the North Ena of Boston, in which Boston merchaots hoarded their clerks for the purpose of capturing coun- try customers as they came to the city. (This was before the days of ‘‘drummers,” you know.) The New England House was well kept in its ~way, buv. it was several degrees below:firstclass. When the Rtevere House was built everybody was sur- prised at ‘the ambition of Mr. Stevens to be its jandlord. - He took. it, and kept it well, to0. More than all this, be tsuent the landiords all over the country how to imbrove in their busi- ness. He was 'a clear-beaded, soand-minded business-man, who knew bis own sphere and his own strength, and never attempted anything above them. He died worth $4,000,000. Tu the dagys of his early prosperity hie married the laqy who is now his widow. She was considerably younger than himself, snd a resident of Loweli, in this State. She brought him no mouey, but she had a boundless social ambition. It d{i not procure her the entrancs inzo soclety in Boston, even after her great wealth “catle. Neither did New York readlly yield to ler when her family moved to that city. Then she sct about buviox for her children -a place independent of elther city: Her daughter Min- nie, who promisea to be u brillisnt and _beauti- ful girl, was destined by the mother to lead the fortunes of the family.” To this end she edu- cated ber most carefully. She brought her up and brought her out according to the strictest propriety, and. when at Jast Miunie was edu- cated and ready for society, she was able to say that thegirl was tit. to be bride for the best of their coronets. Such was the general opin- ion also. Miss Stevens had many admirers for ber amiability, her zrace, Zand _her intelligence, Stili the doors of New York did not open toher. She went abroad, and she made just the sensa- ton that the mother’s heart baid longed for. This reputation followed her hoine, and, when titled foreigmers came tiere to pay her attention, then New Yorkalso viclded. Theunpleasant feat- ure about it all is the fitting a young American wirl for a forcizn matrimonial imarket,—the udverlising her in advaice as preparing for that distinction. You can fimd the whole process set out in “The Tender Recolicetions of Irene Macgillicuddy,” which alwost cversbody inside fects that Mrs. Stevens suszesied. Mrs. vens’ catnpaign stiows how much may be done with money, too, among the best blood of the Englisn nobality, for Miss Stevens is but an inu- Leeper's daughter, after all. The $4.000,000 that her fatuer left was_cmploved by her moth- cr to tempt the English families to an alliance which it s too probable that her srace and sweeiness would npot alone have secured. There 18 bardly SLOOU000 of it left. Mr. Stevens’ estate is understood 1o bave shrunk severely with the other fall of valies. But we may trust the Engiish to secure their dot. ‘Iie husband will get a very charming wife. Let us hope that he witl deserve her. And, while Mrs. Stevens has fairly earned thesuecess that has come to her endeavors, let us liope thut other American mothers will not be driven wild with emulation. We need such girls as Miss Minnie Stevens, with or without their fortune, at nowe. 1 can't refrain from al- luding to the romance of the thing, with all the rest. “From the New Englana Housc, at which they stifl seil clhiops in the most stingy part of Bostan, to the socicty at Buckingham Palace, is avery long stride. 1t is us near the fabled soleudor of transformation in fairy tales as we often gret apwadays. Yankee senseand shrewd- ness, and Yaukee energy and . persistence, are the magie wauds that wrought this spectacle. ENOCIH ARDEN. OweGo, N. Y., Auer. 13.~This place bas o very romantic but entirely truc story, which is the general topic of conversation. In 1363 2 man named Arthur O’Connor kept a hotel known as the Gate Hill House, three miles north of Owe- go. He was arrested in that year, tried, and convicted for passing counterf¢it money, and was sentenced to two years in the Auburn State Prison. He was married, and had two children. e never returned nome; and his wife, beli ing him dead, was married in 1569 to a shoe- wuker named Hermaon Berrs. A day or two ago 0’Coonor nade his appearance in Owego, Berry, his wife's second husband, was absent rom home. O’Coutor obtained an: interview with the wife. She accompanied bim to Hornetlsville, where one of his children, a dsuwhter, who had grown up aed married during his absence, lives. Berry, coming hom and finaing out the situation, went to Hornells- ville. He found his wife, and asked her whether sho would go back witn him, or mtended to o with O'Connor. She decided to return to Owegowith Berry. O'Counor left on the next trait, tkiug with i bis son,a youog man aged 17 years. He is going to South Americs. He says that after being released from Auburn Prison, he went to St. Louis. There he joined W gung of bauk-robbers. Tney robbed an Illinois baok of $240,600, O’Connor’s share of the spoils was 325,000. With this be ficd 10 Cuba. He was followed, arrested, brought back, and sentenced to ten years in Jolict Pris- on. His treasure he secreted in Cuba. On his release in 1576, he went directly back to Cubs and recovered bis spoils.. With it he went to Brazil, where, he says, he has acquired wealth and position. He came to tuis country after Ins family. He had b bis possession $25.000 in cash, $10,000 of which, it is said, he gave to his wie.

Say Fraxcisco, Aug. 9.—Digging down into the bowels of the: earth 2,20 fect deen, the other day, the miners in the Sierra Nevada Mine struck ore. It was not alead, though it gave indications of beins near to one, but it was ore. - Upon the strenzth of that: small etcike, quite wnumber of nice little fortunes have since been made. There bave been lively scenes in the Stock-Board, where duliness bad peen spread for many months. 1In fact. affairs in this i tution were in avery desperate strait, few of the brokers had been makfvg oflice-rent, und it was even intimated that it would soon be necessary to levy an assessment, sourething un- heard of {4 its lustory, to carry ou the institu- tion at ally .. But the news of the discovery flashed all atong the live like u_signaf, and every stock fn the market, whether near to or remote from Sierra Nevada, gopped up. Orders came pouring i and the brokers keep the ball robing tid o'clock, when they emerge from the exchange tired out but jubilant. 1t would seem that the cntire future of the Comstock depends on the result of this discov- ery. 3 2 Twenty-two hundred feet is an enormous deptn, but the Sutro Tannel will so reduce the expense in working it that it will be possibie for them to utilize a much jower grade of ore than would otherwise have puid.

It is not given to many men to realize the most magnificent dream of a lifetime. 1t isnot more than ten years since Adolph Sutro planned his tunnel.
