A Strange Story. [From the New York Herald. •2d.) About half-post twelve o’clock Vrtst^fday afternoon ft gt;ntlbrtifirity appearing German was seen passing slowly along Wall street from the direction of Broadway, and had reached the front of No. 16 when he accosted 1 young man who stood in the doorway, dnd l x>th men passed into the hallway and went ip stairs. The German was not seen again until half-past nine o’clock last night, when he appeared at the New York side of the Btaten Island ferry, near the battery. He was walking feebly ami leaning on the arm of a friend, who kept shaking ahd talking to him n an energetic manner. The German looked frightened and perplexed. Both men enter•d a stage and proceeded to the Central Police Office, where the German told Inspector Walling the following remarkable store'. The German who gav* fcin name as John !>angenbahn a gftxer, 1!>7‘ Seventh street, New York, said that about ten o’clock yesterday morning, finding that he had several thousand dollars to

Hi* iittenttoir-wns to sell th? bond? and then pay his diffarent bill", ttrt drove down town vitli his brother, and leaving him in Cham’icrs street pursued his way to Wall street. He was looking for the office of Jay Cooke & Co., and thought he had missed it, when he aw an intelligent young man who looked like a clerk standing in the doorway of No. .16 Wall street, and asked him where Jay Cooke's office was. The obliging young man naid that it was up stairs, that he was one of the clerks and would short' him thte way. Mr. Langenbahn confidingly followed his conductor to the upper parf of the house, when mddenly he found things fading from his sight. He became alarmed am! tribd to Scream, but a nightmare-like hoi+or had seized him. Hie was unable to speak, his strength seemed to have gone suddenly from him, and he fell unconscious to—where? When he aw oke the day was nearly gone. A man stood over him, '■ailing him to “Get up or you will be sunitiu k'*’ Langenbahn was lying on the grass, under tall trees, in the woods at Statan island. It was nearly six o’clock in the evening. ‘He rose slowly to his feet and gazed ibout him. His pocketbook was missing. He :elt for the bonds that had been in his Breast pocket They, too, were gone. A locket and ring still remained. He knew that he had been drugged, robbed, carried to the woods and left to recover. Mr. Langenbahn had a friend living in Stftten Island, and to his house he maide his w ay and obtained his services to escort him back to the city. He can not de--icribe the man whom he met at the door of Vo. 16 Wall street. He *ays he did not drink vnything stronger than coffee all day. He has no recollection of anything that occurred un the wav from 16 Wall street to Staten Tslamd. Was he taken away in a carriage? Did that carriage cross the ferry, or was he removed from the city ill a small boat? The police are busy seeking for a trace of the ( adroit thieves'who drugged a man on the busiest street in New York, robbed him and spirited him from the city. ■low”One Husband was Boelatmed. The wickedness of Saratoga and Long Branch has been so thoroughly explained and commented upon, that it is refreshing to learn of the existence of compensating influences which sometimes counteract the gilded enticements of those places. Tjie story is of a husband and wife at Long Branch, the former riven to nightly visits at the lair of Chamberlain's tiger, and the latter affectionately solicitous of his welfare in the encounter with that roy»l beast. Wisely, refraining from curtain lectures, the wife undertook a more audacious and effective means of reform. Attiring herself in her husband’s best broadcloth and tightest pair of dress boots, this “woman who dared’ f followed her dissipated lord to his evening haunt, and, when he was anxiously awaiting the turn of the cards after coppering the ace, blew a cloud of smoke across the table into his face to attract his attention, and calmly put $10 on the king. The story concludes with the rapid and terrified exit of the husband, fol lowed by his successful wife, and the extraction of a promise, on the way home, of fut ure abstinence from thf green table. If this tale is to be credited, we no longer wonder at the determination of Mr. Morrissey to rigorously exclude ladies from his temple of play, for a few such wives would break the bank before

the season is over.

ng I the basis of the integrity of French territory. Alexander II, in the same dispatch, informed the Empress that he had earnestly recommended to the King of Prussia to open negotiations for peace and not insist on the cession of French territory, as the disintegration of France would Be dangerous to the peace of Europe. The prospect of Russian intervention was, however, spoiled by the outbreak of the revolution, on September 4, and the flight of the Empress, which took place a few hoUrt after the dispatch had been received froth the Kmperor -Alexander. On hearing the news that the Republic had been proclaimed the Emperor Alexander withdrew his proffered intervention and notified the King of Prussia that Russia would remain neutral. Jules Favre and all the former members of the government of St. Cloud, who knew of the existence of this dispatch, said to have been found after the flight of the Empress, and withheld from the public by the government of National Defense. These revelations are apparently to be made public with the consent of the Empress Eugenie. The Republicans, principally Jules Favre aud his colleagues, will probably deny the proposed intervention of the Czar, but the truth of the facts related can be completely established.
