ahs LITERATURE. A German View of the Labor Question in the United States. ‘MRS. KEMBLE'S RECOLLECTIONS. Arctic Exploration—A Poetical Pitman—Chit-Chat. ‘THE CONDITION OF LABOR IN THE UW STATES, In the year 1876 the German Minister of Commerce, Or. Achenbach, in co-operation with a ‘Society tor the Welfare of the Working Classes,” sent.a young statistical writer, Mr. Arthur Von Studnitz, to this country to make a careful report on the general con- dition of the laboring classes of the United States, and this report is now before us in avolume of nearly six hundred pages, which contains a good deal of in- ITED formation and of statistics which are use- ful and interesting even to American in- quirers. Mr. Von Studnits used his opportunity thoroughly; his various chapters concern not merely wages in different branches and the manner of em- ployment, but the manner of life, the houses, cloth- ing, comforts and pleasures, the disputes, unions, beneficial societies, savings and building socicties, the strikes, the relation of races, the labor laws, and, in fact, with German thoroughness, everything which could contribute to give to his German readers the materials for a picture of the life of the laboring men and women in this country. The book is a magazine of important facts, a careful colleetion of statistics by an industrious and trained observer, andin this respect it will be useful to economists here as well as in Europe. The eighteenth chapter, in which the author compares the American with the German workmen, is one of the most interesting to us as well as the most in- structive. The author tells his countrymen that, while the American dislikes labor, he is perhaps for that reason a more ingenious, a more thorough and @ more trustworthy workman than the Ger- man. He cites the remark of a German engineer who preferred Americans to Germans as laborers when he had to moye a heavy piece of statuary, “they take hold more skilfully; if I had Germans I should fear they would carelessly knock off the nose of the figure. The American workman is undoubt- edly by nature averse to labor; but because he is so, and because of his intelligence, he is an admirable creature to manage machinery, and understands well how to handle labor-saving contrivances.” The Amer- ican, he adds, is more punctual; hecomprehends more quickly what needs to be done, and he praises the tools which we use beyond those of all other coun- tries as not only neater, better fitted for the precise work, but as adapted in a surprising manner to the individual needs of the workman. The Aimericans, he adds, are as wasteful of the material they work in as they are economical of human labor, “It might be truly said that the German is economical of ma- terials, the Englishman of time and the American of strength.” " The book, “Nordamerikanische Arbeiterverhiilt- nesse,”” von Arthur von Studnitz, is published in Leipzig by Duncker & Humblot. ‘RECORDS OF A GIRLHOOD.” Mrs. Frances Ann Kemble recently published, through Richard Bently & Sons, of London, “The Records of a Girlhood,” in three volumes, a work that will be reprinted by Henry Holt & Co., in this city. Two of these volumes contain the matter which previously appearcd in the Atlantic Monthly, ‘The third is new. As a writer Mrs, Kemble is vigorous and graphic, She has a keen insight into men and things, and she writes boldly. With a stroke of the pen she describes a man or woman so that one secs with her eyes. Of a play"by Mrs. Norton she says:—What a terrible piece! What atrocious situ- ations and ferocious circumstances! Tinkering, starving, hanging—like a chapter out of New- gate calendar. * * * Of course, it made me cry horribly; but then, of course, one cries when one hears of people reduced by sheer starving to eat nettles and cabbage stalks.” Wednesday, June 8—*‘While I was writing to H—— my mother came in and told me that Mrs, Siddone was dead. Iwas not surprised; she had been ill and gradually failing for so long. * * * Icould not be | much grieved for myself, for of course I had had but little intercourse with her, though she was always very kind to me when I saw her, She died at eight o'clock this morning—peaceably, and without suffer- ing, and in full consciousness.” June 9—“And so I am to act Lady Macbeth! I feel as if I were standing ap by the great pyramid of Egypt to see how tall I amt" Of Rachel's singing she says:—‘Her singing, as I heard it on the stage, in the drinking song of the ex- traordinary piece called ‘Valeria,’ in which she played two parts, was really nothing more than a chanting In the deep contralto of her speaking voice, and could hardly pass for a musical performance at all any more than her wonderful uttering of the ‘Marseil- Jaixe,’ with which she made women’s blood run cold and the men’s hair stand on end and everybody's flesh creep.” Of Pasta she says:—‘‘I admire her per- fectly and she seems to me perfect.” While playing in the little theatre of Weymouth she is reminded of the droll stories her mother used to tell about old King George IIT. and Queen Charlotte, who had a passion for that town, and used to go to the funny little theatre there constantly; and how “the princesses used to dress her out in their own finery for some of her parts.” At Southampton the saw Lawrence's portrait of Mrs. Siddons (now in t National Gallery), which was painted for Mrs, Vitzhugh, “It is a fine, rich piece of coloring, but there is a want of case and grace in the figure and of life in the countenance, and altogether I thought it looked like a handsome dark cow in a coral necklace." Mrs. Kemble, while often severe in her criticisms of others, does not spare herself or her family. Her performance of Queon Kathorine she condemns, and her youthful attempt at playwriting, she says, was only tolerated out of good nature. Mrs. Siddons off the stage, we read, gave ‘not the slightest indication of unusual intellectual eapacity of any sort.” Being lionized was very unpleasant to Mrs, Kemble. she had a large circle of acquaintance, the most of whom she seemed to like. There was Arthur Hallam, ‘so clever, charming and winning; Tennyson, with whose exterior she was always a little disappointed, “in spite of his eyes which are very fine; but his head and face, striking and dignified as they are, are almost too ponderous and massive for beauty in so young a man,” and there was “‘a slightly sarcastic ex- pression about his mouth” which frightened her in spite of his “shy manner and habitual silenc ad “excellent” Mr. Harness, of whom she was very fond, and many more, JOHNSON'S NEW UNIVERSAL CYCLOPEDIA, This work, published by A. J. Johnson & Son, New York, consisting of four large and hand some volumes, averaging more than one thousand seven hundred pages, has been completed above a year, the first volume bearing date 1874 and the fourth 1877, Owing to the fact of its publication by subscription, however, it has uot received that prom. inent notice in the great newspapers and the literary roviows to which its intrinsic merits richly entitle it as being one of the most important scientific enter- prises ever carried out in America. The plan of the work was conceived by the late Horace Greeley, who, had he lived, would have beon its edi- tor-in-chief, and several important political and statistical articles in the first yolume are from his skilful pen, It may be doubted, however, whether the death of that eminent journalist was not really an advantage to the Cyclopedia, which then fell into the editorial has of one of the most distinguished of American scientists, President F. A, P. Barnard, LL. D., of Columbia College, who has not only enriched the work with many original treatises upon important sctentific topics, but secured the co-opera- tion of the ablest minds of America and of not few Europeans of worldwide celebrity. ‘The array of associate editors upon the title page is a muster roll of talent such as can scarcely be equalled by any other similar enterprise, There are to be found the] rust is competent to produce all the kuown phe- ] jwingy, NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1878—TRIPLE SHEET. names of the venerable physiographist of Princeton, Professor Arnola Guyot, LL.

Among the more important contrib- tors, omitting to mention many eminent gentlemen who have contributed but one or two articles each, are President Henry Morton, Professor A.

Among the assistant editors, whose work naturally embraced the thousands of short miscellaneous articles, though their names are frequently signed to articles of real importance, we notice Dr. Linus P, Brockett, Mr. Porter C. Bliss and Professor Clemens Peterson, a gentleman whose care- ful hand is seen in many of the classical, geographi- cal and biographical articles, This cyclopadia is not free from some of the defects inherent in so vast # work. There are occasional errors both of omission and of commission, but they pass almost unperceived amid the wonderful wealth of good work. The enterprise is emphatically a monument of American erudition of which tho country may justly be proud, and it has won for its editor-in-chief the highest honors of the Paris Expo- sition. The work can only be obtained in New York from the agent for this city, Mr. William H. Hobbie, at the office of publication, No. 11 Great Jones street. DR. MOSS ON ARCTIC EXPLORATION, Several well written and illustrated books have been issued by enterprising publishers since the re- turn of the British Arctic expedition from the far North. Indeed, the list of books on Arctic exploration. and discovery has been gradually enlarged to such an extent that few ordinary readers have the least idea of the industry displayed by writers on these sub- jects. It is only when one requires to consult all the authorities that he finds he must examine so many. Yet interest im Arctic adventure does not appear to flag, and we find the latest addition to the literature of the icy northern lands and seas as interesting as if it were the pioneer volume on @ new subject. Dr. Edward L. Moss, of the British expeditionary ship Alert, gives us through the press of Marcus Ward & Co., of Bel- fast and London, new views of a mysterious region, taken on the boundary line, over which the white man has not yet been able to cross. While the thread ot the story, “Shores of the Polar Sea,” is, as the au- thor and the publisher announce, “A Narrative of the Arctic Expedition of 1875-76,” we find so many new things in it that we forget we are reading an old story in a new dress, There are details in all great under- takings which cannot be referred to in official reports, nor even in the extended personal narratives which are generally written by the most prominent of the persons engaged. Although Captain Sir George Nares, R. N, has written # very read- able account of the expedition he commanded, it summarizes too much the story of the daily life amid the ice and snow, which is full of interest for everybody, This Dr. Moss supplies very pleasantly and fully, adding with his clever pencil what the pen cannot find space to describe. Besides numerous very good pen and ink sketches the book is illustrated by sixteen really fine chromo-lithographs in colors, which convey at a glance the clearest improssions of the grandeur of Arctic scenery. The style in which the book—one volume, imperial folio—is published reflects the highest credit on Marcus Ward & Co, In- deed, the binding is a work of art in itself. The letter press is large and clearly printed on heavy gilt edged paper, the whole forming an exceptionally fine and highly ornamented work. A POETICAL PITMAN. We read with astonishment of the “learned black- smith” who tanght himself to read and write by the aid of a primer, a piece of chalk and the door of his smithy, but the wonder of this achievement pales by the side of thatof Joseph Skipsey, a pitman working in the mines of Perey Main, near North Shields, in England. When he knew but his A BC's, and while yet in his carly childhood, Skipsey began to work in the coal pits fourteen hours out of the day. His duty as achild of tender years was to at- tend a trap door connecting with the ventilation of the mines, and on that door with abit of chalk he learned to write. By the time he was cleven years old he had committed several chapters of the Bible to memory by writing them on this improvised slate. At the age of sixteen he had acquired a knowledge of English grammar. Other studies, chiefly of a seic tific nature, succeeded this; then that of poetry fol- liarity of gorillas and apes generally and assigning them their proper place in the order of liv- ing creatures, or explaining the _ pesuliari- ties of ozone, the formation of dew and the levelling power of rain, or introduci us to the mysteries of ancient Babylonian astrognosy, we feel that on the part of our guide there is little doubt and no hesitation— ire ever under the samo steady light and in the grip of the same strong hand. Ot Dr. Draper's discovery Mr. Proctor speaks in terms of the very highest praise, It is, he says, the most important and promising result of stellar arch since 1859. Interesting and valuable in itself, it is rendered doubly so by what it seems to promise for the future. In 1 Kirchoff diseove: by the use of the spectroscope, that a double dark line in the solar spectrum is due to the vapor of sodium in the sun’s atmosphere; and from that discovery a long series of important results followed. Dr. Draper has discovered that oxygen shows its presence in the sun by bright instead of dark lines; and it is conf, dently expected that this discovery, which is the result of @ new method of examining the solar spectrum, will load to discoveries great aud important beyond previous expectation, Dr. Draper has very wisely made his method known, and Mr. Proctor is of the opinion that a new impetus will be given to stellar spectroscopy, and that through the conjoint experi- ments of many laborers in the same field and in the same direction, not only will classification of the stars be rendered possible, but fresh “light will be thrown on the sun's present condition, as well as on his past history and on that future fate upon which depends the future of our earth.” Mallet’s theory of volcanoes, Mr. Proctor thinks, is destined to gain a degree of acceptance not hitherto accorded to any other theory, It is well known that no theory planatory of the earth’s volcanic energy has yet gained general acceptance, All previous theories have failed on the ground of inadequacy. They have not met the ease, They have not explained the phenomena, Without dwelling upon any of the other theories, we shall endeavor, with Mr. Proctor's help, to present in brief and condensed form the theory which hae been propounded by the eminent seismatologist, Mallet. It is admitted by all physi- cists that our earth is gradually parting with ite heat, As it cools of course it contracts, If this cool ing and contracting process took place uniformly all through the earth there would be no special subter- ranean action. If, however, the interior contracts more quickly than the rust the iatter must in some way force itself in and down upon the retreating nucleus, Mallet shows that the hotter internal por- tion must contract more quickly than the relatively cool ertst, He also shows that the shrinkee of the nomena of voleanic action. To this shrinkage which took place in the far distant ages, when the earth was as yet emerging from its vaporous sur- roundings, he attributes those irregularities of level which are seen in tho expansion of the ocean bed anf the elevation of the land, Later came the period when the internal heat being less intense, and the crust of the earth being some- what thickened, the shrinkage gave birth to the mountain ranges. And later still, the temperature of the globe being greatly reduced and the crust become greatly more solid, the shrinkage led no longer to the formation of ridges and table lands, but to local crushing down and dislocation. This later process, Mr. Mallet holds, is still going on; aud here he recog- nizes not only the origin of earthquakes and of the changes of level now in progress but the true cause of vocanic heat, “As the solid crust closes in upon the shrinking nucleus the work suspended in crushing down and dislocating the parts of the crust is trans formed into heat,” At the places where the process: of crushing and dislocation goes on with the greatest energy there the heat is the most intense. It acquires a melting, fusing power. And now, to quote Mr. Mallet’s own words:—‘“The materials of the rock so crushed and of that adjacent to it are heated even to fusion. The access of water to such points determines volcanic action.” This theory is as adequate as it is simple and easy of comprehen- sion, It remains but to be added that Mr. Mallet supports his theory with numerous and indisputable calculations, With these brief references and con- densed extracts we must close. ‘Pleasant Ways in Science” is a book which does not belie its name. LITERARY CHIT CHAT. Charles Dickens’ library has been purchased in its entirety by Messrs, Sotheran, of Piccadilly. The en- gravings of Hogarth that hung in his bedroom ac- company the books, Grant Duff's (M. P.) “Miscellanics, Political and Literary,” are announced by Macmillan. An Irish historical novel is being written by the Hon. Lewis Wingfield. The Currans, Lord Edward Fitzgerald and Robert Emmet are among the dramatis persone, “Ennishowen”’ is the title of the book. Mr. Satchell, of the Dialect Society, has made a list of the local names of British fishes, marine animals and fishing appliances. Colonel Woodward's “History of Bordentown” will run through another year of the Register newspaper, of that interesting city. | Beaumarchais’ “Barbier de Séville,” edited with notes for the use of schools, is in the press of Mac- millan & Co, Mrs, Faweett’s ‘Political Economies” are trans. lated into French and German. Gottenburg is collecting funds for a new free uni- versity. . Annie Thomas will have a Christmas story in the London Pictorial World, Mrs. Emily Pfeiffer has a volume of poems in press. “Romeo ond Juliet’ has been translated into Hebrew. Mrs. Molesworth’s “Grandmother Dear” is illus- trated by Walter Crane. “The Normans in Europe,” by the Rey. A. H. John- son, M. A., is the latest addition to the Scribners “Epochs of Modern History.” The subject is treated from the Scandinavian exodus to the Norman su- premacy. The conquest of England occupies the greater part of the work, which is one of the most in- teresting of the series, “Ike Partington and His Friends” is Mr. Shillaber’s latest. Only half of the Odell library has been sold. Mr. Philes is now at work on the second volume of the catalogue. “Lessing’s Comedies” have been added to “Bohn’s Library.” “The Life and Letters of Sydney Dobell,”” “Mixed Essays,”’ by Matthew Arnold, and the “Artful. Vicar,”” by Granville Murray, are announced. Houghton, Osgood & Co.’s catalogue of their publi- cations is a beautiful specimen of the printer's art and contains a running commentary on many of the most important books of the day by well known re- viewers. “Leisure Time Studies” is the title of a valuable volume of essays and addresses, written and delivered at intervals by Professot Andrew Wilson, of Edin- Gurgh, on sundry scientific subjects, his object being to show the relations of biology to education. The style is easy and the matter will doubtless be found interesting to a large number of advanced students and intelligent general readers. R. Worthington, New York. “Christmas Evergreens,” a collection of poetry for the holidays, selected, arranged and published by W J, Johnston, New York, is a title that tells its own story, The volume is unpretending, but includes gems from Bryant, Longfellow, Goldsmith, Gray, Montgomery, Eliza Cook and others. “Genevieve of Brabant” is also among the legends in verse just published by the Lippincotts for Mrs. Charles Willing, the authoress. If the poetry is deemed equal to the illustrations the yolume will have a ready sale. It is the old, old story that has been told in many ways, but historic incidents and localities have still been retained, and the record of woman’s love and fortitude is faithfully preserved in the present version. Tho October quarterly number of the “United States Official Postal Guide” is athand. It comprises all in- formation relating to the Post Office Department, and is a valuable adjunct to every business man’s desk. Seribner & Welford have published Sir J. Gardiner Wilkinson's “The Ancient Egpytians,”’ in three yol- umes, revised by the late author, and brought down to dates by Dr. Samuel Birch, of the British Museum, It is a treasury of antiquarian information. Another important publication by this firm is Frances Huef- fer’s “Troubadors."” They also have issued Brilla | Savarin’s “Gastronomy as a Fine Art;” “Our Eng- lish Bible,”’ by John Stoughton, D. D.; “Our Wood- land Trees,” by Francis George Heath, and “Stories from Virgil,” by Rey. Alfred J. Church. Among their announcements are “Shakespeare and His Con- temporaries,” by William Tegg; “Pleasant Days in Pleasant Places; “Savonarola, His Life and Tin i by W.K.

AMONG THE STUDIOS. ‘Thomas Moran is now well established in his New York studio, and has on easels several important canvases. One, @ colorful and picturesque view of “The Cliffs of the Upper Colorado,” he is painting for the next exhibition of the English Royal Acad- emy. The cathedral-like form of the cliffs, with their vari-colored upright stratification, are reflected in the still waters of the river, and to the left a cavalcade of Indians is scurrying along the trail which follows the bank. “A Ride for Life’ is a scene on the alkali plains of the Humboldt, with an Indian horseman in the foreground fleeing toward us, followed in the middle distance by a body of cavalry. The perspective is excellent and the swirl of the pursuit is admirably composed, with the threatening sky, whose tornado breathing forms seem to follow the line of human action, A view in Florida has palms to the right and a drove of cattle coming down the road which leads to the middie foreground, M. I. H, de Haas has on an easel, nearly completed, a “Moonlight on Long Island Sound.”” A sloop, with all sails set, is driving toward us before the wind and past a lighthouse seen to the lett, The summer moon throws 4 broad path of light over the waters, and in the distance are other sail. He has just sketched in on a canvas a scene after a collision, Yo the left is a sinking vessel, from which two boatloads are pulling to a steamer blowing off steam in the mid- dle distance, The effect will be that of a harvest moonlight. William M. Chase is now shonomgbly at home in his studio, in which he has grou a number of oil studies and pictures by well known Munich hands and by himseit, together with a lot of picturesque art properties and’ brie-a-brac, Among his pictures is one by Liebl which will attract all. It is a repre- sentation of a buxom Dutch girl seated in a huge armchair, smoking a huge pipe. The pose and ex- pression are excellent, the tone deep und clear and he form under the almost black dress is thoroughly well felt. Mr, Chase has started an interior, showing a group ot painters in Middle Age costumes seated aud standing about a studio table examining etchings and engravings. A head of F. 8. Chureh, the artist, for which only two sittings have been had, promises to be an aimirable portrait, the salient features of the face being strikingly reproduced. J. @. Brown has been lately at work on a picture showing © German band in full blast on a Sixth ave- nue sidewalk, Like all of this artist's work it is fuil of character, and will undoubtedly be a success, He has nearly finished for the Artist's fund “Driven to the Wall.” A little crossing sweeper, under a fusil: lade of snow balls, is leaning up against a street wall with his broom in one hand and holding his other arm up as a guard against the missiles, which have made their marks on the board about his head. J. ©, Nicoll is working up for the Water Color Society's exhibition a view on Lake Oscawana ard a twilight landscape effect which will attract attention, Arthur Quartley is at work on a view of some fish- ing boats at anchor off Marblehead Light. ‘Ihe effect ot light is good and a bold sky has been laid in, L'ART ON AMERICAN ARTISTS. The number of L’Art for the Ist inst. is devoted alnost entirely to the American art exhibit at Paris, and the text by Charles Tardien is illustrated by fit- teen photo-engravings and one woodcut of pictures in the collection. ‘The pictures which have been so honored are Elihu Vedder's “Crimean Sibyl” and “The Young Marsyas,” drawn by Ch. Kreutz- berger; Winslow Homer's “Sunday Morning in Vir- ginia” and J.G. Brown’s “The Passing Show” (full page), drawn by A. Brun; Miss Clementina Tomp- kins’ “Rosa Ja Fileuso,” drawn by the artist; J, McL. Hamilton's “Cerise;" two figures from F. A. Bridge- man’s “Funeral of a Mummy on the Nile,”’ drawn by the artist; Wyatt Eaton's “Reverie,” drawn by Mary Labbé; W. Gedney Bunce’s “Approach to Venice,” drawn by Leon Gaucherel; Arthur Quartley’: “Morning Effect in New York Harbor,’ drawn, and admirably, by Saint Elme Gautier; Edgar M. Ward’s “Sabot Maker,” drawn by the artist; F. Hovendon’s “A Breton Interior” (full page), drawn by the artist; Walter Shirlaw’s “Sheep Shearing in the Bavarian Highlands,” drawn by Saint-Elme Gautier; Wyatt Eaton's “Harvesters at Rest” (full page), finely drawn by Charles Kreutz- berger; George Inness’ “View Near Medfield, Mass.,”” drawn by the artist, and H. R. Bloomer's “Old Bridge at Grez”’ (full page), drawn by the artist. M, Tardien, after speaking of the total abstinence of the government trom art affairs in this country, alludes to the energetic and spontaneous efforts of in dividuals in such matters, and says, “The question is, whether some action of the government would not have been @ yalnable aid to it (@. ¢., country’s art), and if we must not lay this abstention of the administration, to its indiffereuce in matters of art, the slowness of artistic ‘$ shown there, Even if Americans do allow themselves to be too much absorbed in politics and business, they are too practical in spirit not to understand the importance of the arts, it it be only in their relation to the wealth of nations, of international statistics, which havé learned them to measure the influence of the importations and ex- portations of works and objects ot art on the balance of commerce, give them food for reflection, and we should not be surprised if, in a few years, considera- tions less wathetic possibly than’ utilitarian and economic, will give rise to efforts on their part and will cause them to try ‘tain amount of in- tervention on the part of legislatures and munici- palities to stimulate private enterprise and aid in the evelopment of the fine arts, if not on account of the glory which they reflect ou the entire nation, at least on account of the material advantages which they bring with them.” ‘The writer does not find that American artists are in search of novelties, “To do something new is the least of their thoughts. For example, they sometimes create startling pictures, even extraordinary as it may seem, when they follow beaten paths.” In criticising the work of the various painters, M. Tardien advises Vedder to leave Romo and go home to paint. Winslow Homer's painting is ingenuous, not exempt from a certain awkwardness, honest, serious and strongly imbued with local character. J. G. Brown is not ingenuous, but he is amusing. His ingenuousness, if he has any, ix ot the gay sort—his picture is not good, but the vignette is piquant, Hamilton’s demimondaine is joked abont. On coming to Wyatt Eaton, the writer says one mounts a step, his painting does not show great facility, but it shows a rare will, a conscientious stndy of nature and the ambition not to stop at one kind of snec ‘Tiffany's picture is d'une erecu- lion (res spirituelle, Arthur Quartley’s is an excellent impression, has a remarkable truth of perspective and is exquisitely charming.

It is called “Weleome to Papa,” and shows a number of children, with their mother, standing under the trees by a woodland fence, They have just caught sight of their father, and the differ- ent poses and expressions of the eager children are excellent.

Frank Bentz, an cleven-year-old boy, whose parents reside at No, 219 Railroad avenue, Jersey City, on Wednesday last, ran away from home. His father after considerable trouble found him the day follow- ing in Paterson and taok him home. He had been home only a day when he threw his shoes through the window to the street and then obtained his mother's permieion, to go to the yard in his bare feet. He did not return, and a thorough search of the neighborhood failed to discover his whereabouts. He was not heard of again until yester- day, Van driver William Blockam, of the Jerscy City Police Department, when returning from his stable between six and seven o'clock yesterday morning, noticed a light burning in the fork of a lurge oak tree on the Gilbert property, near the Pennsylvania Railroad cut, and climbing into the tree found young Bentz asleep with a burning candle held in his hand close to his face. Blockam aroused the boy and took him tothe Third precinct police station, and in a short while Mr. Bentz appeared and took cliarge of him, When found in the tree the boy was almost frozen and would have perished had he not been discovered.

No sooner had he left the platform than iow 9 Nelson made a dash for the change box attached to the railing of the platform, and, grabbing both hands full of the barge con- taining money, was about to make off with them when an officer who witnessed the proceeding ar- rested him, Nelson was held in $500 bail to answer at the Essex Market Police Court.
