AMERICAN INCIDENTS, ETC.

A pretty young girl, named Annie Kellogg, was before a police court in Brooklyn, lately, on a charge of robbing her employer. This charge looks very ugly in print, but the facts appear to be that the employer was a merciless skinflint, one of the kind whose heart could roam around and get lost on the point of a cambric needle, who made a regular practice of employing poor girls in embroidering, accepting their work and then refusing to pay their wages on the score' of want of proficiency. The poor girl seized on a piece of embroi dery to get even, and so laid herself open to the charge of robbery. It was a case where the law was one side, and the justice all on the other, and the magistrate did the best he could under the circumstances by imposing the lightest possible penalty.

A wretched, forlorn, drunken Irish man died in the St. Louis workhouse some time ago, whose son will, in three years, inherit a fortune of half a million dollars. Eighteen years ago his new born baby was bought from him for SIO,OOO, and adopted by a rich German neighbour, whose wife had that day given birth to a baby which had lived but an hour. The babies were changed, the Irish mother being consoled by the SIO,OOO, and the German mother know ing nothing of the transaction. The boy grew up a credit to his adopted parents, who died a few years ago, leav ing their fortune to three trustees for him when he shall come of age. The sto,ooo proved the ruin of the real father, who soon ran through the money, and who, although several times as sisted by the wealthy German during his lifetime, finally died wretchedly, as above stated.

A remarkably romantic case has re cently come to light through the medium of a personal notice in the New York Heiald. There appeared in that paper an advertisement enquiring for the ad dress of “ the daughter of the late Horace Meech,” to whom,it is stated, the late William C. Glynn, of Boston, had, by will, left a fortune of sßo.ooo, appli cation to be made to Mr. Choate, Tremont Street, Boston.” Mr. Horace Meecli was many years ago a well known resident of Albany. William C. Glynn was at the same time—perhaps a quarter of a century ago—a teacher of music in that city. Among his pupils was Miss Meech, daughter of the afore said. Glynn tell in love with the young lady, and she, presumably, with him, and they were married. The parents were bitterly opposed to the match, and succeeded, in a few months, in per suading their daughter to leave him. A divorce followed. Glynn removed to Boston, and was lost to sight. His divorced wife soon married a young gentleman in Rochester, who died not long afterward in the South. The widow married, for the third time, a gentleman in Buffalo. He also died, leaving the widow with one daughter, now grown up, married, and herself a mother. The widow, in reduced cir cumstances, was living with a sister on Staten Island, when some of her Albany friends, seeing by chance the advertise ment, acquainted her with its contents. She at once took measures to secure the bonanza left her by her first love. It seems that Glynn, after removing to

Boston, made a fortune in the music business. Neither time, however, nor circumstances, made him forget “ the girl he left behind him,” although she had thrice married, and had become a grandmother since his eyes had beheld her.
