He sald that France would always, Gna Without solicitation, supply his wants. “That ts, sire, a soldier's pay and cigars at discretion,” The Emperor replied:—“Well, we must siipulate for the cigars.

The body was thatofa young man, very well dressed, and was apparently about twenty-eight years of age. The back part of the head was most horribly crushed, as though with some heavy biunt mstrument, Of the hundreds who viewed tie body at tae stauon house and afler it was removed to the Morgue none seemed to Know who it was or that they had ever seen him before. Letween twelve and one o'clock yesterday (Sun- day) morning three or four gentiemen APPEARED AT THE MORGUE and stated to Warden Bronnan that a friend’ of theirs, named Patrick McNamara, aged twenty-nine years, and who hac been boarding with a Mra, Ford, at No. 245 West Thirty-ffth street, had been missing since Friday night, aud, as they could get nv trace of him, they were fearful lest he had been muidered, Mr. Brennan conducted them in- side the building and showed them the boay of the unknown man, when they at once recognized it as that of their missing frtend—McNamara. Fully convinced that the unfortunate man had been mur- dered, and determined to probe the matter to the very bo ttom, they started off to hunt up the perpe- trator ofthe soul deed. They first went to the Twentieth precinct station house, where they found Captain Caffery, to whom they tmparied what in- formation they had just obtained AT THE DEADROUSE, and by whom they were most heartily Joined in their investigation and search. All the remaining portion of the night they worked as only men instt- gated by such motives as were theirs can work, but to no avall, Yesterday morning they ascertained that their friead had been seen in company with a man named John Keefe, at the saloon at the corner of Forty-fourth street and Third avenue, where they were both drinking. Being imiormed that Keefe lived at No. 3811 East Forty-eighth strect they bent their steps in that direc- but on reaching the house they were in- formed that their man was not there, nor had he been during the previous mght. The peop.e about the piace told the party that Keele had come in about haif-past two or three o'clock Saturday morn- ing and gone to bed, where he remained until near eleven o'clock the same morning, when he got up and left, since Which time he hac not been seen in that neighboriood, Believing now more than ever that Keefo was the murderer, Captain Catiey and the friends of the de- ceused determined to redouvie tue efforts in the prosecution of the search, The friends took one direction and the Captain and detective Mevonneil, of his precinct, took another. All the most NOTED HAUNTS OF VICK and retreats for outlaws of every description were visited, but without success, until about ten o'clock yesterday merning, When one oi the party of trienas Went into 395 Pearl street and were rewarded py finding the otject 0: their search, Without making any disturbance, or even IJntumating the cause of their visit, they returned to tie street to get an officer of the Fourth precinct to go in and arrest Keefe, who was taken to tie station house and locked up. iniormation of the arrest Was at once sent to Captain Caffery, in whose precinct the mur- der had beea committed, and without delay Ser- geunt Heupe Was sent down with instructions to con- yey the prisoner to the Twentieth precinct station house. This was svon accomplished, and shortly aster the arrival Jonn Berryman, of 353 West Tairty- sixth street, came im and volunteered some intor- mation Which proved to be of the most important character, He stated that he got off a street car at the corner of Thirty-sixth street and Eighth ave nue about one o'clock on naar mornmg, and shortiy after reaching the sidewalk he saw two men standing a shoit distance down ‘Thirty-siath street, and heard them qnarreluog. They talked in a boisterous manner, and as though they were BOIH PRETTY DRUNK.
