are briefly these: A desperado by the name of Frank Becker was interrupted in an al— tempt to burglarize the residence of Joseph Day, Mayor of Toronto, Canada, on the night of March 10th, 1874, and in the fight that ensued, Day received wounds at the
hand of the intruder, which resulted in his death a littie over & year afterward. Becker made hi pe, aud crossed over the bor- der into the United States. He assumed
s escape,
the name of Louis Armstrong, and in the June following was sentenced from St.: Joseph County, in this State, to aterm of
five yeurs in the Penitentiary for robbing Edward King of The Canadian au- thorities offered a heavy reward for Beck-

er’s recapture, and a few mouths ago A. C. Hall, of the Northern Prison, onened & correspondence with the autho- pened a
rities, having become assured that he had the man in custody there. A short time since his suspicions were verified, and Lord Dufferin, Governor General of Canada, com- missioned J. W. Murray, ef Toronto, as special Government Agent, and sent him
over after Becker, Judge Gresham, of the United States Court, for a wri’ of aheas
Judee Gresham declined to inter- fere, as tie man was in the custody of che State Courts; and accordingly he repaired to the Supreme Court, swearing oat the writ against Becker. Murray telegraphed to Hall, at Michigan City, and this morn- ing Becker arrived in the city, under a strong guard, and was granted a hearing by Judge Perkins, at two o'clock this aitternoon. The only point which came befere the Court was that of identification, ard his identification being established to the satisfuction of the Court, a demand wil: be made upon the Governor for the custody of the prisoner, under tne provisions of the Ashbu:ton treaty of 1842, which provides for the surrender to either government of a convict who may have previously com- mitted crimes coming under the calalogue of murder, attempted murder, arson, con spiracy, and forgery. If the Governor deems the crimes committed in this case to be of sufficient gravity to warrant him in surrendering him to the Canadian autho- rities, he will pardom him conditionally, and turn him over at once to her Majesty's officers. Becker is quite young, though the otticers unite in giving him a record as a hardeved criminal and a desperate and dan- gerous character. Hon. D. W. Voorhees represents the Canadian Government in the
corpus.

Tom, aged ten, who had a particular dis- like for, and loved ts annoy his mother’s sister, otherwise his aunt, came rushing breathlessty into the room where she sat about an hour after bis mother’s departure o see the inauguration of a new reservoir. He exclaimed between his gasping for breath that ‘Ma bad fallen in with Mrs. Vane, and had broken two bones, but that Mrs. V. was unhurt.” Then he bolted out of the room, leaving his aunt stricken with horror and alarm, and that depraved boy actually wait- ed three minutes outside of the door before he resentered to explain to his now hysteric- al aunt that bis Ma had fallen in with, or met, Mrs. Vane, and that she had broken two bones—corset bones—while stooping to pick up aten dollar oill, which, on inspec- tion, proved to be an advertisement, It is unnecessary to state that Tom was not to be found when his mother got home. Monsieur H., the celebrated magician, was recently married. His wife is a fortunate woman, for she doesn’t have to get up at laylight to goto market. When she wants a dozen eggs, she simply hands her husband the empty egg-bag, and he produces them by slight of hand; then he cooks an omelet in a borrowed hat, and converts a can of sawdust into that much white sugar, and a sunilar cup filled with chopped paper chang- es into hot coffee; then he takes the same nat, stirs up its emptiness: with a magic wand, and—presto! change !—out comes a loaf of bread, a fresh herring, two pickles, one pie, a scuttle of coal, a dish of hash with natural hairsin it, and half a dozen knives and forks. ‘This ismuch cheaper than going io market. But Mrs. H. is not happy. When} her husband wants a gold coin, he mysteri- ously picks it off theend of his wife’s nose, and she is dissatisfied because she can’t per- form the trick herself. 3
After a telegraph pole had fallen on a Savannah negro’s head, he threw up his hands and shouted: “Don’t hit me again with your club, Mr. Policeman. It wasn’t me that stole der chickens. It was Deacon Henry.” Then he looked around, saw what bad hit him, and walked off, saying: “Golly l’se lucky dis mornin’; I ’spected dat de po- iiceman had me shuah dat time.”

His Memory is good, for he is an adept in the praciice of remembering stories read to him im Haglist by Mrs. Lee, his governess, wich he repeats word fer word to his mother. As the little Prince had play-days this winter in Roree it was thought desir- able to introduce the refining element, for, iil then, no captivating damsels had played with the Prince. Mrs. Lee called his Roya) Highness to her side, bade all the other

A gentlemen one day bought a dozen eggs yom ap old man named Samuel Brown. It ‘urned out thatthe eggs were bad, and the aext day the proprietor accosted Sam, and told him every one of the eggs had a chicken in it,
‘Chicken in ’em?” says Sam. ‘ Well we won't charge you for the eggs, ‘sir, but we will have to charge you for a dozen chick- ns,’ Was the prompt reply.
