Ani’.Esr or oxc ox j. v. pauwkpl’s cleuks. In '‘Tho Vicar of Wakellcld" there is por trayed a clever rogue who in continually cheating u I'tmplo honest nun, whom he Is as continually despising (or his lack of acumen; yet bo is forced to confess that, In spite of all his Ipilfor tho honest follow still continued to thrive, wliilo ho always remained poor, llorbcrt li. Zlapwortb, who is now lying in a coll in tho Cen tral Glotloo, is a living example of Goldamilli'u creation, much to his own sorrow, Tho par* of the uimplo odd is aptly taken bv the largo wholesale dry-goods house of J. V. Fnrwoll A Co. This house has boon exceedingly lenient with tho few persona who havo thus far been detected iu pilfering goods from tho store so much so. In fact, that it sooms that tho house lias become a refuge (or not a few hardened culprits. For tho past year tho losses by (hoft havo boon unusually large, and havo increased so rapidly within that time Hint the Jinn havo become desperate, and are determined to ferret out all tho pilferers. Mr. John V. Fat well, who has always been tlio chief objector to n criminal prosecution of defaulting employes, started for Europe soma we«*k« ago, uml almost immediately after Lis departure the remaining members of tho Arm seem to havo de termined uj'.cn a orxriiAt. cxEixixu out. M"onvrlillohilkd, laces, gloves, shawls, pocket knives, ami other ruticlos. continued to disap pear with amazing rapidity. Tho clover tho watch, tho more rapidly tho thefts multiplied. Tho management then determined to employ dtilcciives to work up the mysterious dlsappoar uucoh, and tho case was given iuto Piukerton’u hands. Two men weru detailed for tho case, and, after a abort iuvcstigauon, serious sus picions wero attached to young Ilopworth. an asrlstant clerk in tho paokiug-room. After a liitio more Investigation, it wan anoortalnod that bo had dopusltcd several valua ble aiticlos la tha dry goods lino at tho pawn-shop of A. Diamond, on Booth Clnlit street, between Jackson and Tan Buren streets. A strict watch nan kept on all his actions, cud Tuesday afternoon ha waa ar rested at tbo comer of Clark and Monroe turrets while pvcns.vditic south towards tbo pawn-shop. Y/heu taken ho immediately AOKNOWLEDOKD JflS OCItT and delivered np a half-dozen kid glove* which ho then h-id on his person. He was lucked up in thu Central Station, wboro he still remain-. Hopes wore entertained that ho would give evi dences of tbo complicity of other dorks in tho establishment, and consequently tho arreut wah kept extremely quiet, but thus far no further arresto have been made. Ilopworth im plicates soma tlficen otliors, hut can give no evi dence that would warrant tbe authorities in ar resting them, or tbolr discharge by tho Urm. ItCI'WOUTU’S HTOIVV, ■a told to a Tmuu.v’z reporter yuftlerd&j after noon, is an extremely sad one. He in a bright* looking youug roau of about 20 years of age, largo hazel ayea, sharply dellned fu&Uiri'H. pram* hieut nose, chlu, and forehead, ami altogether voiy attractive lu appearance. Ho fell by falling into lad company, aud baa gradually gouo downwards uutil bn likh lamlod whore bo dow ui. In addition to other vices, the tor* riblo babltn of omum-cating and whisky-drinking bate been faithfully fostered. The opulm ho brought wherever ho happened to bo when tho dobhu overcame him. 110 took it to drown tho sonowa that he claims to have felt for the piti ful condition of hi* family, aud whlaky bo drank by ilia piut when onoo the opium began to uct upon bin nerves. Ho baa alao boon accused of Eamhliug, but this he tlrmly denies, mating that o has been in a gambling house but once In bin life, and then he went merely for the purpose of seeing how such places looked. Hut Uis pre sumable) that Hepworth la mistaken os to this fact, fur the reason that ho seems to be well-known in a ceitain gambling community. The first article which ho says ho took was a piece of lining eilU about 10 yards in length, aud wortb about SI,IQ per yard. This ho took last July. Ik was sold by an evil compan ion of bis to Diamond, tho pawnbroker, aud bo realized but $5 out of (bo theft. Other pieces of silk followed, and these ho sold himself to Dia mond, who, he claims, urged him ou to further thefts, oiforing him bright money for ulco silks and good drosft patterns. Meyers, another pawnbroker, at 3115 couth Clark street, furnished a second fence for the stolon goods, and also urged him on to further misdeeds. Ibis cormorant received in all, two large shawls, four small shawls, one dozen kid gloves, and one dozen pocket-knives. Diamond gov most of the silks aud other articles. According u> hiu statement ho hoe worked in the packing-room for the past sixteen months at sl3 Per veok. Ills parents were so poor that they could not ailord medical attendance for his poor bod* ridden ft* v .»r, who bos not been outside of bis room for tbe past throe yeais. Koveitheless, the money which be got from bis thefts be was if raid to spend on them, and consequently they ire no party to bis gollt. His only reason for Us pilfering! Is lbs Inordinate dcslr. for whisky and oplnm.

The new Trustees have done oas of the im portant things they hod to do, 1. e., to All thoso positions subject to appointment. In doing this, they have verified the predictions mado by Tub Tribune previous to tho election, and havo shown that the balance of power rest* with whai was known as tho Walto-Orolgbtou party. At a second session of tho Board Saturday, it was decided to proceed to otoct 01 Engineer and other ohicots, la spite of the resolution passed nt tho first session. The outside press ure and Dr. Hughes wore too strong for MobbM. Bonsloy and Powell, who opposed hodty action. Mr. Bousloy want ed time taken for naveral roaaonfl. Thoro vote, bo thought, too many officials at high sal aries ; since there was an Engineer at baud, working till ho should ho supplanted, thorecould bo 110 argument for haste ; tho pconle of tho North End did not wank Mr. 'Waits for Engineer, oto. Dr. Hughes, on the other baud, was in a hurry. Ho stood promised to do a certain thing, and was much disappointed whoa tbo motion that virtually postponed the election was carried. His constituents did wank Mr. Waite, and bo de sired to show that ho could carry his will in tho Board just then. By perseverance 0.1 his part, or by some moans nurd outside, the mind of a majority of tho pniscant nuxiottu was turned, and Mr. Donsloy’o hopes of carrying au econom ical measure vatriuboJ. Mi, Georgs W. Waite was chosen Engineer, and thus rewarded for his labor in behalf of tho People's party. When Tub Tribune, some time ago, predicted that this office would ho bestowed as it ha* been, Sir. "Waite took particular occa sion to declare publicly that ho was not a candi date for any ofllco, elective or otherwise, ami that he would not accept place under nay con eldsratlon. Now bo has achnnooto prove himself a man of his word. Many residents of tho vil lage aro opposed to him, on tbs ground that ho has few qualifications for tho portion, which m perhaps tho most important in tbo list. The appointees In full are: Village Treasurer, A. D. Waldron; Village Attorney, C. H. Willett; Village Engineer, Goorco W. Waite; Bupotln tendeut of Public Works, Danlsl Iloaly 5 Super intendent of Water-Works, William 11, Purdy; Village Accountant, Joseph B. Lewis ; Village Collector,Jlamos il, Ely. The salaries to bo paid this year will bo recommended hy Messrs. Cal houn, Bonslov, and Giilctt, who will probably report ot tho next meeting. Mr. Bonsloy's idea was that the same man could perform tho duties of Engineer ami (Super intendent of Public Works, aud that tbo Clerk u.mld act also as Accountant, a reform that would nave tho tax-paver* some thousands of dollars. But the ring in Hyde Park proved too strong. SUMMIT. Tho spiritual affairs of tho German-speaking people of Summit and vicinity aro attended to by tho Bov. Parson Banthaus, and, by bis elo quent sermons and good advico, many oro In structed in tho way of righteousness. But thn reverend gentleman Is rather too vehement In his denunciations of tho public school, seeming to regard all who are in any way connected with (bo common school, either as teacher, pupil, or patron, as walking lu tue way of the ungodly. Tho young people of this place gavo a choice literary eutoitainment Saturday evening to a largo and appreciative audience. “ The Terri ble Tinker * aud “ Andy Blake " wore tho pieces presented, in bath of which tho leading charac ters wore well sustained. John Allison as Am\>j IHake, aud James Itooncr as Bam Sawder, wore well-conceived character*, while Willie Long as Mr. Poppinjton, Marv Long as Mrt. I’oppinjton, and Mary Juuo-Kollv os Matty, drew forth tho approval of tho audience. Another outertaromout is to bo given in a low weeks. ItAILUOAO yfclWS. A NEW RAILROAD PRESIDENT. Mr. P. E.

To th» Editor of Tht Chwjo Tnbune : Inhiajupous, Mat 1-I.—During tho last eight months I havo traveled many thousand miles over the railways, both of tho Stales and Canada, and the groat comfort nod many advantages of tho system of railway locomotion on this conti nent could uotbat bo appreciated by mo—at com pared with tkuso offered on the railways of my own country. During my journeys, however, I have also become familiar with the wanton damage so frequently done to passengers' bag gage. but I was scarcely prepared to see that this kind of destruction had arrived at s sfato of perfection, almost destruction, until I witnessed it yesterday at tho Chicago depot of the Pitts burg, Cincinnati & St. Louis lUiiway. While wailing for tho Ba. m. (rain for Indlan apoli.*, a train—apparently from tho South— oamo in, and the boggago-car was discharged of Its contents iu tho (allowing fashion t A board was Aral laid to a steep Inchon from tho bag gage-car door. A tall athletic young man stood by its side, and as each trunk was pushed from the iosido of tho car on to the board he seized it by the handle at one end, and no sooner htd a downward impetus been acquired than ho V '-i it off the board with such force (hat each came in contact with tho platform, some 4 or 5 loot away, tho pressure being bomo at the comers or edges of the end opposite to that of which tho young mao retained tho ' hold. While this process was rapidly going on, tho baggage quivering. aed (bo splinters Hying, tho assistant porters stood at a respectful and safe distance to receive aad roll off the trunks, etc., to the aide. As if to show by contrast tho slowness of tho old mode, and its Inferiority to the Hcieotillo plan, tho last box was allowed to slip down tho incline to the very bottom, and its spued wad lessened by means of a long strap-handle at the end. It lo right to etato that this bos did not belong to tho passen gers, but was evidently tho property of the rail way company I On examining the platform af terwards, I found it indented by the concussions, aa tliougu it had been auHerlng from a virulent attack of tho smail-pox, The performance waa Hupplomontcd by the ordinary feat of throwing tho trunks on to tho trucks, on which they wore conveyed to tho baggage-room, the atbleto named taking the leading pact. Hurcly this young man’s strength and skill are misdirected, aucl should bo diverted to more prolitablo account. Might it not bo worth while fur I*. T.

Should tho demand for such exhibitions increase, others equally capable could doubtless soon be found in the vast railway training-school for bagc*B«-do- Btruciion. In conclusion.

The reunion bas come and gone, like every other thing on this sublunary sphere; and who shall say how many hearts have ached under silicon vestments, ami how many eyes have grown sad and dim, oa the pageant of gay troops swept paatl Row many mothers have sadly mmort away, and, with hearts filled with anguish, hare wept for tbo fair-haired boy over whoso grave many summer-skies have brightly shined and tropica] flowers have bloomed! Never again will the eloquent eyoo beam with love on her who'o pride and Joy ho was; nevermore will tbo lips niter tbo loved word, Mother I Silent in death the voice whoso Ugliest tones wore melody to her ear.

They can never roach or waken him who sleeps whore the song of blrdw *fllle, and tho fragrance of the orange-bloom per fumow, the air around his grave. Nothing remains for her but sad romarabrance. Others may, and doubtless will, foiget; but the mother, neverl To her tho brilliant, happy troops bring no cheerful remembrance. Mem ory, ever busy, goes back to the time when bo— a little, caro-froe child—clapped his dimpled bauds iu gloo losco ether troops, with waving plumes and prancing steeds, sweep by. How little did she dream then, in thoso happy dayu. of tho desolation that would overshadow her heart 1— how little dream that ho, her idol, would at last sleep in death, with the fair brow she so tenderly caressed, dinfigiirod and black ened with tho dust and smoko of battle, while his heart's blood bminwed tuo turf on which lie lay. Merciful indeed uro lbs ways of Provi dence, that vouchsafes to mortals no rllmpao of what tbo future may have in store. No knowl edge of the lonely grave iu Southern lands, that a mother's care ami love would never hallow, and over wbloh her prayers could never bo murmured, marred Iho happlno&B of tbeso most hours. Enough that, in lator years, her heart would bo wrung with nngul.di; that bitter scalding tears ulionl 1, iu tho dreary watch of rnanv a lingering night, bo shod upon the pillow, whoso soft luxuriance could neVr produce sloop or lull into forgotfulnssi. To her the pageant of to day is mockery, bringing back with all its vividness the agony of tho h<ug ago. When death shall at last seal her oycluta in their last slumber, (bon, and not fill then, will the anguish of her heart bo fonrottou.
