TIE Devil AMONG THE TAnoRs--A gem
ueman calling himself Herman N. Grundy, on
Sunday night last put up at one of our principal
hotels. He represented himself to the hotel
keeper to be the son of the Hon. Felix Grundy,
of Nashville, Tenn. He soon introduced himself
to several of our principal taiors as son oil that
distinguished Senator; and ordered clothes to con-
siderable amount OF each, to be completed AT tlie
same time. One of the number called on the
keeper of the hotel to learn if it was sale to send
the clothes to his lodgings without insisting upon


nav before delivery. The favorable impression


this distinguished parsonage had made upon the


landlord, led him to speak in terms sufficiently
satisfactory to have the clothes left. Soon a
parcel from another tailor made their appearance,
for which he gave his check on one of our Banks!
third soon appears to see the gentleman. with
clothes to deliver; but calling him Mr.. Miller,
that being the name given him. The suspicious
circumstance was soon communicated to the land
lord, from him to the tailor who first delivered his
clothes upon information derived from him. The
circumstance also was soon made known to the
tailor holding his check. They became uneasy,
as il was evening and no opportunity of knowing
if Mr.. Grundy's check would be honored. One
of the principals Immediately called for some
better security, and obtained the clothes he had
furnished and some jewelry, of which he appeared
to possess an abundance, as indemnity for his
calling and paving satisfactorily for the goods.
The tailors all successful in retaining pos
session of their goods, and several in obtaining
more or less jewelry security against loss in
not calling for articles made to his order. One
of the tailors fearing Mr.. Grundy had committed
depredations to considerable amount, Immediately
procured an officer for his arrest, but the gentle
man had made timely escape, leaving behind
his baggage, which is not to great amount,
owing to the ungenerous conduct of the tailors.
From the abundance Of jewelry in his possession
it is to be feared that some Of our dealers in


that article have Jared worse than the tailors.
