The history of Breed isa singular one. By birth he was descended from 4 distinguished Kentucky family. Breed’s father is now a prominent... merchant in Louisville. he was given toall kinds of dissipation, and it is said that in Paducah he lost $10,000 on a cock fight of three mains. He had a fine education and could speak English, French, German, and Italian fluently. He came to this city an@ by force of his talent and ad- dress obtained the position of Washington correrpondent of one of the princi; ally papers. While in Washington he filled for a short time the position of private secretary to Senator Morgan. Finally, however, he drifted into crime, and having committed an extensive forgery in this city, Detective Elder was placed on his track. He had nothing beyond a general description of Breed, except the fact that Breed’s nose was of ap abnormal size. On this clue he suc- ceeded In arresting him at Broadway and Clinton place. When arraigned before Jus- tice Hogan, at the Tombs, Breed attempted to swallow the check he had forged, but was half choked and forced to disgorge by Detec- tuves Elder and Nevins. He was convicte} and sent to Sing Sing for seven years by Recorder Hackett. From Sing Sing he was ae to Auburn, where he died.—[(N. ¥. imes.

She be- came profoundly impressed, and after the evangelists’ departure was so mach occu- ay in co a exercises that she neglected er family duties and ate and slept only a jittle. Tris began to affect her mind, and afteratime she gave unmistakable symp- toms of mental derangement. She started from her home on the 1ith of April, saying that she would return ina short time, but all search forher was unavailing until yes- terday ber aead body was found floating in the Gowanus canal at the foot of 4th street.
