GIMIN '1" ROOFING.
THIS article has been thoroughly tested by
builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience of years has prayed it to be the
cheapest and most durable roofing in use.
We call attention-to'the following facts :
lat—It is fire and water proof.
2d—From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riooialy affected by extremes of heat and cold.
3 —It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs,
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs. .
4th—Tlie_cost_is only, about One-Half that
ofVTin,‘ audit-is twice as durable, , . ,
It is} readilyyapplied to Old Shingle Roofs,
without remOving "the “shingles, which is‘ a
great desideratum to parties who do not wish
tozris'k having their ceilings and furniture ru-
ined, while repairs are being made. ,
Leaky TM and Metal Roofs are readily re-
preventbd‘fidmafarther corrosion and leaking
therebyiinauring'a pitrfectly water-tight root
for many years; " "' - ' ‘ ‘
Specimens of the Roofing can be seen by

The Young "Widow
A heat from a Detective'a'nxperienoe‘.
Sitting in the front ofilceone morning, en-
gaged in perusing the New-York papers I
heard the chief 's bell tinkleoather excitedly.
The sergeant answered it. ", _ , .
Send Brandon to me, next reachedmy ears,
through the half-open door.
Before the sergeant could repeat the order»
I had passed him, and was standing by the
side ofthe chief. . , _ ,
Sit down, _ Mr. "Branden, " .lle " said, as
he continued making" some notes in the" reg-
ister. -
I obeyed, and anxiously awaited his com-
mands. . ,
I have a singular case before me this morn-
ing he began; and I am about to:try your in~
genity to unravel it. ' ‘
"My expectations were aroused. - -
On the 19th of last month the Hon. Mr.
F—.-— gave a ball at his mansion inithe Fifth
avenue, which was attended by nearly all the
elite of the city. ,. , '
I remember it, I said. . _
Did you remember what occurred there?
Almost every lady in the room lost some
articles of jewelry,,I replied. .- _ , . ,.
Exactly, for which no one could account,
as the party was most select, and-it would
.have been an outrage to have suspectedany
one present with stealing in-such a wholesale
manner. " -
I acknowledged the justice of his remarks.
The chief continued: ' _
On the 13th of the month, a general prom-
enade concert was given at the'Academy of
Music, and the same thing occurred. This
would not seem so singular as there was
plenty of opportunity for the professional
pickpockets; but the remarkable feature is
that no gentlemen were robbed, but all who
suffered were ladies.
This is indeed singluar, I replied.
Perhaps, responded the chief, in a dubious
tone. Now" for the last event. Yesterday
morning, as you have probably heard, Mr.
W— was wedded to a daughter of Col.
H—-——; at Grace Church. The assembly was
large, and of courSe, composed entirely of the
Ian. The bride received congratulations of
numerous friends. and left the church, but
had not reached the carriage when she sud-
denly discovered that one of her bracelets
was gone. A search was immediately made
in the church, but it was nowhere to be found
Then came another and another and another
cry from various parties (all ladies) who had
lost one or another article of jewelry, with an
occasional portmonnaie. '
I was getting excited.
What are your conclusions? I asked.
I would first have heard yours, said the
chief, looking at me closely as though to test
my penetration.
I reflected a moment, and could form but
one opinion. <
There must be some person, said '1 figuring
at present in fashionable society. who is a
second Babbington in the lifting profession.
A very proper conclusion, said-the chief
smiling at my simplicity. But let as deter-
mine something. For instance,is it a man or a
woman ?" , " ’
Most likely a woman,.l remarked, as none
but woman suffer from the thief ’s mostadroit
practice.
That would be the tint conclusion. said
the chief; but on the other hand, a man
might perform the deedmonfiniug his practice
to females only to throw the blame upon one
of them; '
I acknowledged the possibility of his aug-
gestion, though it had little efl‘ect upon me.
You have the particulars. continued. the
chief. I give you one week to solvethe mys-
tery. and to bring the adept to justice. Here
is a list of principal losers. ‘You shall take
your own course as to the plauseyou shall
follow. Good morning. , " ,
I knew that this case had been placed in
my hands as a test‘of my skill, and resolved,
if within the grasp of human ingenuity, to
compass it. It was a most singular case, oc-
curring as it did, in the very heart and center
of first society. It was impossible toaccuse _
any oneon suspicion; there 'must he, proof
positive before a word could be uttered.—
How was it to be obtained ? , ,
I sat down and thought seriously, laying-
out my plans, as I grasped at each point'of'
the case, Then I arose to act. "
Dressing myselfin the very hight of fash-
ion, I hired a carriage and drew to thehouae
of the Hon. Mr. F——. ‘ I found him at home .
and stating nly vecation. and purpose, was
invited into the library. ' '
I fear you have assumed a "fruitless task,
Mr.- Brandon, he said, when" we were""'seated.-
I_ expressed my convictionof success." ‘" 2
How do you intend to" proceed? he then
asked. " . . ' i ' . .
‘ I remarked that I shouldbelgov'erned by.
circumstances, butdesired a" milliat,oraa
near ,as’ possible, of all his guests" on the even:
ing of the ball. He went out a few memento
and when he returned'v'harlded the a com-
good will and hopes of success from the hon-
orable gentleman. 4 '
My next visit was to residence of the ladies
who had been victims of the mysterious pick-
pocket. Mrs. R——-—-, with whom I was ac-
quainted, received me kindly, and eagerly
gave me all the information in her po‘wen—
Her loss was a large diamond breastpin, of
great value, of which she gave me a concise
description; also a gold locket, taken from
her eldest daughter, containing the portrait
of her deceased husband.» By her kindness,
I was introduCed to several others who had
lost various articles, in the way of brooches,
earrings, necklaces, and other articles. Some
of these had been lost at the' Academy, oth-
_ era at the wedding at Grace Church.
: Having obtained all this information, I sat
down to consider, and found myself about as
wise as when I commenced. One of the" la-
dies had lost a bracelet at the first mentioned
ball, and had loaned me the fellow to it. - This
being the only clue, I-rcsolved to work on it.
Taking ,a list of all the pawnbrokers in
the city," I visited each one and made a thor-'
ough inventory of the recent jewelry receipts.
but. could find nothing to match my bracelet
nor accord with my descriptions ofthe other
articles lost. What was to be done ?
I. asked myself this question as I was seat-
ed in the oilice, after my long and fruitless
search. In answer to it came an idea. In a
moment" I was in my carriage again, and ofi‘
toiMis.,R. . ‘
';What, have you gained a clue already ?
she exclaimed, as I entered hastily. '
. Not yet,,I replied. But all is not lost that
is missing. Tell me, I added, who gives the
next grand conceraali'onare in your circle?
Mrs. Johnson. 1
When ?
To-morrow evening.
Can-you getme a ballet d’ entree?
Certainly.
. Then procure it immediately for Mr. Le-
Clair, a Louisiana planter of your acquaint-
ance. If Miss Belle, your daughter would
play my chaperone, it would be better for our
scheme. , - -
Miss Belle was a gay, {rollicking girl of
eighteen, with black eyes, and a merry, laugh-
ing mouth, was especially fond of adventure.
and being let into the secret, gave her ready
assent to accept my protection for that even-
ing" only—as the playbills say.
The next morning I received a special in-
vitlltion to attend Mrs Johnson’s soiree in
18th street. .
At the proper hour I handed Miss Belle
R4— from the carriage in front'of the house
and led her into the grand reception room.
I had got myself up in tremendous style.
I was supposed to be determined to make a
hitT—whether I did or not will appear in time.
I am- afraid that it asked, I could not have
told the use of the _ jewelry I wore. - Certain
it was that I had plenty of it—rings in abund-
ance—not exactly in taste, but like my watch
chain, belted across my vest and a large seal
dangling from my fob—all. spurious—they
were my baits, which I had thrown out as
an :angler throws out a single - line, with a
dozen books on it. That was my cash capital:
with which I would win my fortune of success.
_ If there was a pickpocket there I was deter-
mined he should have a fair chance at it ; if
he bit~ at the bait, he would find a hook in it,
for every article was fastened with a secret
steel chain. . .
The pleasures of the evening proceeded.—
I was introduced to. several interesting ladies
and gentlemen of congenial temperaments,
and as I conversed apparently unconscious
of ally purpose, I scanned carefully each and
evel’y individual of the company.
Belle! in a whisper.
What, Mr. Le Clair ?
Who is that singular-looking lady in the
center of the group by the window ?
aakéd Belle R——_—, in a tone of curiosity and
surprise.
Because it is so, I replied. Her face is pale
almost to ghaatiiness, except the one little
spot where she paints, while her jet-black
eyes dance about like an ebony coilin "reliev-
ing a dead face. She is dressed in mourning
audyet she is the most gay and fascinating
person in theroom. .
_ Belle «almost held her breath as I gave this
description, and with her hand on my arm
and a blank expression upon her face,’s"he
said,
Ypudon’t think-—
Who is‘ she? I repeated quickly.
Madame Delauney, of Paris.
Madame Delauney! I murmuredto myself
The friend of theHon. Mr. , the wid«
ow of the Assistant Intendant of the French
Police. Umph!
Do you think her very handsome? asked
Belle. "
Yes, as a vulcanized dc Medici}. Introduce
me. . .
Something in’my manner must have im-
pressed my fair chaperone with the ideaof
tau adventure, for the introduction was made
with e'vident embarrassment on her part, and
she lingered close by, gazing in the face of
Madam Dclauney and myself with an air of
puzzled. curiosity.
As my inquiring glance met that of Mad-
ame Delauney, I thought _I detected some.

Why doyou think her singular-looking? ;
This may, howevea: have been the result:of.
the point of asking her to promenade in the
garden, and had just turned my head to
look at Miss R., when.I heard a slight click,
and felt a gentle pull about the waist. . I did
not start, for I almost expected it, but look-
ing around carelessly, I met the cold features
and fiery eyes of Madame Delauney turned
upon me, and I thought I could perceive a
purple hue rippling beneath the surface of
her pale skin, like the waves of alake. " I‘did
not look dOWn, fortunately, it was not neces-
sary, for Madame" Delauney’s back was to-
wards a large mirror, as I glanced into it, I
beheld my watch chain hanging from my
vest pocket! one side of it had been cut!
I was now convinced. The mysterious
adept at pocket-picking, who had thrown the
creme dela creme of New York": him a fit of
regular excitement, and made "them; fear to.
appear in public with their jewelry, the be-
ing who had caused each one of- int-first
stood before me. Yet how was I to proceédf.
It would _not do to arrest her' on the spot.—
"Mrs. Johnson would never forgive me for the“
scandal it would create, and "the company
would lose their enjoyment. I was in a db.
lemma, and as one of the widow’s friends up;
preached, I made my obesiance and turned
away. As I walked towards Miss Belle, her
mother intercepted me, and asked what pros-
pect I had; could there be any suspicious
persons now in the company. '
Several, my dear madame, I replied with
mock gravity.
Gracious me ! .who are they ?
Mr. LeClair, whom you introduced, 1 re-
plied, laughing. '
No jesting, said she. Have you learned
anything ?
I put my hand down to show her my cut
watch-chain, but—it was gone i The fish
had run away with the bait, hook and all!
The affair was getting serious and I becom-
ing excited. ,
My dear Mrs. 12—, said I, give yourself
no uneasiness; you will lose no more jewel-
ry after to-night. Permit me to speak a
word with Belle.
Hastcning to the side of my fair chaperone
I whispered :
Can you" be discreet?
" As wisdom, she said, smiling.
‘ And play a part ?
Like le- grandc. tragediennc.
Then invite Madame Delauney to promen-
ade on the rear piazza; the night is beauti-
ful—from there stray into the garden, and
take up a position near the gate which opens
into the next street. Keep her engaged and
be astonished at nothing that occurs.
Belle arched her brows understandingly
and nodded assent. I next strolled carefully
into the hall, opened the front doc} and look
ed'out. Raising my finger, the driver of my
own carriage approached. It is almost need-
less to state that lie. was a policeman in dis-
guise. .
What luck? he asked.
Good. Drive down the narrow street,
skirting the house, and stop at the garden
gate.
The house was situated at the corner of a
narrow street, with a high brick wall ex-
tending from the rear to the next house.—
This wall screened the little flower garden,
and contained a gate for the use of the ser-
vants. . / '
When I returned to the drawing-room,
Belle and Dadame Dclauney were absent. I
found them in the garden, plucking some
flowers, and I joined them making some cas-
ual compliments. As soon as I had joined
‘them Belle started off for the house. Mad-
ame Delauney was about to follow, when I
quickly arrested her.
' Madame Delauney, you are my prisoner!
I quietly said.
What do you mean, Sir? she grasped, re-
coiling from me.
That I arrest you for theft. When you
next steal a detective's watch-chain, you
should be more expert.
. As I spoke I opened the gate, and reveal-
ed the carriage and policeman.
Come. .
The scene caused her. to cower before me.
I then‘ told her in hurried words that her whole
career was known to me; that if she would
go peaceably she might save much shame
and disgrace. She hesitated for a moment,
and then drawing herself up proudly replied :
I will go with you, but you had better be-
ware, when I shali have proved these dis-
graceful accusations false 1
I assisted her into the carriage and taking
a’ seat opposite, we, Were whirled rapidly
away toward the otllce. ~
Although the hour was late, I found the
industrious old, chief up. He smiled gra-
ciously, as I led in my beautiful prioner, and
narrated the incidents connected with her ar-
rest. ‘She was ofcourse searched, but noth-
ing was found until on turning up the wide
sleeves of *her bodice, we found a number of
secret pockets, in one of which was my watch
chain. She evidently had not commenced
her operations of the evening. The next
day Delauney’s residence was searched, and
nearly- all the missing property recovered.—
Her house was a rare depository of jewelry
of every kind and estimate.
Upon convict‘l she confessed that she had

band, who was accustomed to show her each

STATISTICS or TRAVEL.
We have had some idea of processions in
the last political campaign. I want to give
'you an idea of processions. Within the
tWelve hours devoted to business, it is calcu-"
lated that 125,000 vehicles pass through the
city. There are 900 to 1000 omnibusses, up-
on which the government duty is a penny
per mile;.and that amounts to $7,000 per
week. One omnibus company alone, in’ one
year, ran 223,000 miles. There are 4,700
cabs in Londbn. ,It is .estimated that the
fares in the publicvehicles amount to $10,-
000,000 per year, In 1857 13,500,000 persons
left by the trains fromfithe London Bridge
Railroad Station Blane; and in 1859, the to.
tal number‘of travellers who led by the dif-
ferent lines of‘railrdad was 30,000,000.
A return was made to the board 'of alder
men ofthe trav’el upon London Bridge for
24 hours; and here is a procession for you;
There were 4,483 cabs, 4.235 omnibusses,
9,245 wagons and carts, 2,430 other vehicles,
and 54 riding horses; total, 20,498. The
passengers were—in vehicles 60,836; and on
foot, 107,074; total passing London Bridge
in 24 hours, 167,910. "
SABBATH BREAKING.
There is in London a ltirge amount of
Sabbath-breaking. A couple of years ago
a quarter ofa million people were engaged
in what is called “Sabbath desecration.”—
There were 10,000 shops open. Great efforts
have been made to remedy this state of
things. There are 900. churches and chapels
in London, and they are increasing constant-
ly, and there is a great deal of out-door
preaching. I am" sometimes asked:—-“Mr_
Gough, can’t you give us some idea of the
preachers of Landon ?” “No.” “Why ?”—"
“We lived two years in London and selected
a place of worship and went there." And I
will tell you this—excuse me for saying it—I
think no Christian man, who pretends to
keep the Sabbath, has any more right to hire
a cab to go to hear a popular preacher than
to go to a dance in the evening. I believé
in consistency. I say nothing "about Sab-
bath-keeping, but if a man pretends to keep
the day, let him do it "right straight through.
Some people keep the Sabbath very much
like the man who hired a negro, and was :11.

day night. In haying time, he would al-
ways cut down a quantity on Saturday night
and then go out on Sunday morning to shake
the dew off. To his nigger he would say :—
“Come, Sam. get up l”- 4
“Don’t wan’t to get up, massa.”
“Come, get up and get your breakfast."
“Don’t wan’t any breakfast Sunday morn-
ing.”
- "Come, get up Sam. I won’t you to go out
and shake the dew off the grass.”
“Don’t wan’t to work on Sundays."
“But it is a work of necessity, Sam.”
“I don’t see no necessity for it at all, mas~
”I”
“Wouldn’t you, pull your ox out of the pit
on the Sabbath?"
“Yes, Massa, but not if I shoved him in on
Saturday night.”
STREET rmcmo.
" I heard a good deal of street preaching in
London. I used to go after service. in the af-
ternoon. Some of it was very good, some
of it was capital; and some of it had better
not be preached. In England, everybody
can preach. Why, they used to ask me to
preach. You, get a strange sort of' preaching
there sometimes. I was introduced to a
preacher who was to preach that morning,
and I asked himwhat lie was going to preach
about,
“I don’t know.”
“What is your text?”
“I haven’t got one. Give me a text.”
“Well,” said I, “how will this do, ‘Hercin
is love’ ?”
“Oh, that will do.”
So he went in and gave out the hymn and
prayed. Then I saw him beckoning to me.
“Come up here a minute. What was that
text ‘1?”
I told him.
"Oh, yes, I remember now; but where is
it i” ‘
“It is in J ohn.” ‘ .
So he gave out the text and told the peo-
ple it was in John, and it would do them
more good to search for the text than for
him to tell them where it. was. He had
nothing to say and so he said it very loud.—
In the course of his sermon he came to this:
“Now mark. my friends—mark, my friends
—I say, my friends, mark the apostles and
the patriarchal There was Jacob, and Ja-
cob had twelve sons, and every one of them
sons was boys." [Great laughten]
And then he went on to tell about Moses
going into the temple and eating the shew-
bread because it was not fit for anybodyelse
to eat. [Renewed laughter.]
I was told this by one who heard it from-
one of these preachers. The text,was,
“Awake, psaltery and harp.” and the preach-
, tiptoe.
I do not mention this as a specimen of the,
preaching in the streets; but only as the ex:
crescence of the system. And' I ; will" "say"
that what is called popular preacliihginsome
parts of England, 'would not be tolerated “in "‘
New England. There is a great deal too
much of this dealingin platitudes. I will
not take a text from scripture, but to illusi
trate it I will' take for atext: .

wished them‘ to stay until the .school was
closed. We must go on business, sir, said ‘
they. And their “business” was to go to the ' ..
churchesand chapels to pick the pockets 'of "

ragged aromas there is one object of . mortal.
terror; anagram is a policeman. They hate
it policeman'tis a certain personage is said to
hate holy water,.and the very idea of one
will scatter the boys even when they are

It is the easiest thing imaginable toget up
a fight among. them. . One boy " will just

one another as you see chickens standing on

they say, “Who stole the , rabbit-pie 2" Be-
cause a policeman was once detected in steal.

the boys is mutton.” ‘ " " ’ "
Here is a little ragged urchin, let‘s speak
to him: "Come here, don't be afraid: Can '

These boys in the street are sometimes e13 1
ceedingly annoying." ' They know "an exquil'i

incident

with lavender gloves, and a cane of no use
but to knock against his teeth; the street
boys set up a hurts, and came round him,
and one of them picked up a filthy rag tom
the street, and advanced towards him with
the most consummate politeness, saying:e
“Please, sir, beg your pardon, air, but you
have dropped your handkerchief, sir." What
could he say or do about it? If he had. of-
fered to touch the boy he would have been ,
at once covered with dirt. He was .‘obliged
to let him go. .
They know a snob, too, when they see
him. Their masters won’t let them wear .
moustaches, and so they stick, them on Sun- .
days when they go to walk. Up steps one
of these boys—“I beg-your pardon, air, but
