A horrible murder was committed al Copenhagen, Denmark, last tpring. It wa* made pnolic when IDe mutilated body of ihe viulim wa> I. nnd packed in lime in a barrel in ibe Uiiied titaui Appraiser's store* in Ibis city and ooDsigLeo to some fictitious personage in a Western btaie. 'Ihere is LOW dtlaiDed ac tbe Barge office one Alexander Phillipsro, who is xnp- pcied to be tbe (ersoti who committed ibis nendish crime, and who is held a prisoner awaiting a.'.vice* from the authorities al Copenhagen. Pbillipsen arrived here on Friday last on the Nor- manuia. acccm^anud by bii wife and one child. He is about 30 years of age. His eye* are deep black and piercing. He is below the average heighl aud rathi r slender. His appearance indicates that be is pus- sensed of some means. Tbe details of Ihe crime of wbich Phillipeen is accused are briefly as follows : One Q. Meyer wai the collector for a large nxm al Copenhagen. It was his babit, un most occasions, to oarry large sumi of money on his person. This fact was known to one Adoll Pbillipsen. One nifchl Pbillipson invited Meyer into a room al bis hotel to have a drink and a good time generally. 1 here the nnfortu oale Meyer was strangled and his mati- leled remains packed lu lime and shipped to this country. The object of the murder wai mooey, bat, M it happened, tbe murderer only got sixty crowns for bis horrible work, which was all tbe money tbe victim had on his person at tbe time. Headers of the llrrn i will remember the details of tbe ghastly discovery made at Ibe Custom House when the becked body of the murdered man wa* discovered. The barrel in which Ihe corpse was shipped wai brought lo this country on a steamship from Denmark and seized for duties by ihe customs cfficiali. Alter committing the murc.fr Phillipsen set fire to his house in order 10 collect ibe insurance. He then fled lo Hamburg, where he wai arrested and taken back to Copenhagen, where be wa* locked up charged with arson. In jail 1'hillii seu confessed to the murder of Meyer. He was tried, adjudged insane and committed to an insane asylum. At Ihe lime of the murder K. C. Jacob- sen, now a bartender at ihe Hotel Den- mark, No. i4 Greenwich strtel, wa* stop- ping in Copenhagen on a visit to some relative*. He claim* lo bave known both Pbillipeen and Meyer intimately. When Jaoobkonsaw Pbillipeen in ib.ec.Bioe of tbe hotel yesterday morning be approached him aud said, " Is not yoar name Phillip- sen '.' " " Yes, wa* tbe response. " Adolf 1'tulli t sen ?" " No, Alexander." Jacobeon onoe more looked at tbe man closely, and, a* he states, became convinced ibal be was Done other than Adolf Philip- sen, tbe murderer of Meyer. Tbi* fact be com mu moated to several people about tbe hull I. one of whom repealed ihe story lo tbe authorities at ibe Barge office. When 1'hillipsen called at the Barge offioe yesterday morning to get his baggage be was atked for bis passport. He pro- duced a certificate signed by " tiigne," at Copenhagen, who is, Pbillipsen says, Chief of Police there. He wai then called before General O'Ueirne, who questioned him as to his autecodeuts. He is, be said, a manu- facturer of chemicals, ami hai alao been connected with lint dry goods business. He viniiwi thii country about eight year* ago and remained here a year. Me kuew about Ihe. Meyer uiurder, but strenuously denied that he U the Phillipsen referred lo. He said tbal he bore no relation whatever to V l.ilf Pbilllpsun, although be has been told Ibal be looks very much like him. ll will be remembered lhat at the time of the trial I'billipsen's friends used every mean* lo bave him ac judged iuaai.u, and thai when, this ubjeci had been aooom- p Itched it was rumored that a large, sum money bad been raised lo secure bis re- lease and bave him transferred to Ibis country. Jaoobson teelified al Ihe Barge Ollioe yesterday that he positively identified I'm! ipsun as tbe murderer of Meyer. He rum. inhered, he stated, a peculiar delect in Pnillipeen'i speech, which failing tbe prisoner also bad ll is not unlikely, asMflt of Newspaper Tralui ,, L - I believe I bave done everything wi 3 an editor or poblieber ever ha* to do, i 4 i directing wrapper* up to writing -,t biography of a president within an b after hi* death.

We newap in- n may write English very ill, but' write it easily and quickly. Bo lhal 10 a*, who have been in tnis businesi, there is something emaainic lo hear a clergyman say that he occupied a week in oomrnsiog a sermon, wbich was, at tbe outside, thirty- five hundred worde in length. One oan understand abnolute inability to do it at all, bat no newspaper man nnderstand* how a man, who oan do it, oan upend thirty - ix hoars in doing il. If yoa have to srnu "oopy" upstair*, hour after hoar, with a boy taking tne slips from yoa, one by one, a* tbey are written, and yoa know that joo are never to see what yoa write until yoa read it the next day in tbe paper, your oopy will be pupolu- aied carefully, written carefully, and il wili be easily read. Tbal is one thing. An- other thing goes with it. You will form the habit of determining what yoa mean to say before you say il, bow far you want to go. and where yoa want to stop. And thi* will bring you to a valuable habit of life to stand by what ha* been decided. Napo- leon gave ibe same advioe when he said, " If you set out to take Vienna, take Vienna." For these reasons, I am apt to recom- mend ' oang men to write fur tbe press early in life, being well aware that Ibe babit of doing this has been of use to me Kibfitni Krtrelt BU tit the September Why.

A galley oar sometimes pulls thus for ten, twelve, or even twenty hours without a moment's r**t.

If suonshoul I be Ihu case it must have taken some powerful iutlueuoe to have secured bis release from tbe insane asylum where he bad been oonfiued. The I'hillipeen al the Barge Uttiue shows DO signs of insanity, which is about tbe only thing in hi* favor. The Barge Office authorities will holil PbUlipaeii a prisoner (tending au inquiry.
