How Jabez Balfour was Caught.

An Englishman resident at Salta, m the Argentine Republic, m the course of a letter on Argentine affairs, gives the following narrative of how Jabez Balfour was arrested. He says : —" T cannot refrain from mentioning the in terest which Mr Bridgefct, our English Consul m Buenos Ayres, manifested m Jabez Spencer Balfour. I don't be lieve you quite know how Jabr z was run down, and it is time I told you the real story. Some months ago a com mon friend from Salta called at the consulate to see the-consul, and on his way through the patio S!»w a photo grap'i of Jabez on the wall. He im mediately recognised m it the portrait of the man to whom he had let ■> house at a few weeks pre viously, and told the consul of the fact. Mr Bridgett said very little but did a great deal, for within the shortest possible time, armed with the necessary documents, he was on his way to Salta, 900 miles north wards, leaving word that if inquired for be. had gone down to Monte Video to get/married:(the only feeble pariof the business, as Mr Bridgett is the most confirmed bachelor that ever walked.) Arrived aVSalta he inter viewed the Governor, and before Jabez could stir he was astonished by o carefully-planned arrest, which took al! the.wind out of his sails, and left bint nothing but the law courts to go to for a possible protection. All this story sounds simple; but Salta is so situated that, had Balfour received a hint that he was being looked for, half ; an hour would have been sufficient for him to put himself out of reach of danger and pursuit by quietly starting for the Bolivian frontier. Every credit is due, therefore, to our consul."
