Hudson, in order to shield his relatives from the disgrace of his present condition. He is the son of a retired Scotch clergyman, residing in Michigan. His parents are pious and excellent people, and have striven by every means in their power to check the waywardness of their son, who left them some three years ago to carve out his fortunes for himself, running away from his home, having shaken off parental restraint.

He never opened a mail bag, and yet once actually abstracted the entire contents of a bag sent from Chicago to Quincy, leaving nothing but the wrapping paper and twine of the packages within, to the greatest mystification of the post-office officials.
