Me Andrew s’, strange Explanation of Bar Bay’s Crime. (ac tools Post-Dispatch.] Chief of Detectives Desmond yesterday bad a novel experience in the war of finding a now cause for crime. The experience resulted, from the visit of a motherly end much distressed old women to the Four Courts. On the previous dsv a youth br the name of Patrick McAndrews had been arrested lo North St. Louis, charged with baring burglarized a house. Tbe police knew the lad, and claim that he is a hard case. It so ebauees also that Desmond knows tbe boy’s parents as honest, herd-working people. Yesterday Mrs. McAndrews called at the Four Courts end requested permission of Chief Desmond to talk with her son in tbs boid-orsr. Tbs request was granted, and tbr mother, who appeared almost heart-broken, went down stairs, and fooialf an hour was engaged in a teartui eoovtrsat on with the boy. When at last she withdrew, the old woman went to Cpiet Desmond’s office in great distress. There she fell to discussing her sou’s wayward course. "It breaks my heart,” she said feelingly, to Desmond, "to seethe boy grow up to be • thief and a criminal, t can’t see bow he turns out so. ilis father is an honest and self-respecting mao, and 1 have never beard of any bad character either smqng ray husband’s people or uv own. We have been very careful in raising Patrick to be an honest boy, and now that he should be locked np for barglary is a great blow to

both of ns.”

The old mother looked earnestly at Desmond for a moment. Then suddenly she

said:

"No, Mr. Desmond, it isfl’t that I have known ever since Pat was a little boy that he bad an instinct to steal, it bss given me great uneasiness before now, and it was one of the reasons whv I watched over the boy more carefully than 1 did with any other of rav children. And to save my life I can give but one reason for it It is this: "Just before Pat was born his father was drinking more than was good for him, and would spend all his wages in drink if he had sufficient opportunity. I found it very hard to got any* money from him to pay for our bread ana meat. At last it got so that the only way I could get his money was by waiting until he was asleep at night and then picking bis pockets. Many and many a night 1 have got up jrhen my husband was asleep in the bed bv my side, and tiptoed over to where his clothes lay, gone through h s pockets and taken what money I found there. He was at that time drinking to hard that every night almost bs would go to bed drunk, and the next morning he could not remember whether or not he bad bad any money when he came home. But he had a hot temper, and I was always afraid when I would be picking his pockets that he might wake and find me doing it. Pat was born shortly after that, and I believe he was born a thief, just owing to that practice of mine.” Chief Desmond made no reply to the old woman’s story. It was a new lesson for him in the cause of crime. He could neither confirm nor contradict such a theory. A Touching Incident. I New York Tribune.! A touching incident marked the consecration of Bishop llorstmann, in Philadelphia, the other day. At the cloee of his sermon ArchbiehopKvan addressed a few words personally to the hisbon elect: "May you be ever, as you have been in tbe past, the sentinel of the sanctuary,’’ he said. "You are soon to give u,s all your blessing, but first of all, let the first blessing of your episcopacy be bestowed upon your mother, who is present here to-day and is justly proud of her sou.” Every member of the vast congregation gazed expectantly at Bisbop llorstmann, when, after the miter had been placed upon his head, he passed down from the alias and paused in the center aisle beforefehe first pew. A tall, grayhaired woman, her eves beaming with such a proud love as shines only in a mother’s eyes, arose to receive his first blessing. The blessing done, she threw her arm impulsively about his neck and kissed him. All were affected by the touching scene, and many a handkerchief was raised to tearful eyes throughout the immense cathedral. A Short Interview. ICnlcaco Mall, i "The shortest interview I ever gave was to a reporter on the Globe-Democrat in St. Louis," said Senator John M. Palmer, “It was during the Sherman memorial services. A party of us had gone down there to participate, ami in the evening we were at the Mercantile Club. There was an immense crowd in the rooms, and it was almost impossible to move around. 1 was running for senator and the contest was at its highest pitch of interest. Suddenly a hand touched me on the arm. I looked around and sew a young man leaning toward me. He whispered: ’The Globe-Democrat would like to know if yon are going to be elected?' 1 nodded my head iu reply and he disappeared. 'lbs interview appeared in the paper the next morning exactly as it occurred. It was tee easiest interview I ever had." Footage 'tamps and Influenza. [Medical Record.) A correspondent of the London Lancet suggests that influenza may bs spread largely through the agency of postage stomps. He recalls a number of instances in which the disease folio wad the receipt of a letter from an infected place, a id v thinks that possibly the source of the infection was tee saliva used to moisten the gummad surface of stamps and sdgsfl of envelopes, the mucilage perhaps being a suitable menstruum for the development of bacilli. Sfee Di<ln’t Understand. i Babyhood.] A bright little girl, who livee in Hyde Park, asked for a second saucer of icecream tbs other avening. "1 don’t think it's good for yon; ask yonr father." said her mother. The girl went into the library and pat the question. "Not much,’* said bar father, emphatically. "Papa says I can have a little," she reported to her mother, with truthful aud innocent eyes.

mob upon the Imperial palace was organized by tbe Socialists as a reply to the Emperor’s antocratic speech at the hanqoet of the Brandenburg Provincial Diet on the night before, are based merely on supposition, and are ia tbe highest degree improbable. Indeed, everything goes to show that tbe outbreak has been devoid of all political instigation and object, and that it has been merely the counterpart of the popular damonstrations of the unemployed which have taken place daring the past two or three winters in Vienna, Paris, Home, and in fact in every great capital. Finance and trade in Europe are at the present moment in a very uneasy and apprehensive condition, ana every branch of industry is more or less injuriously affected thereby. The result is that vast bodies of the working classes have been thrown out of employment and deprived of tbe means of earning their da ly bread just in ths winter months when misery and want arc even more keenly felt than they weuid be during the lest inclement seasons of the year. It is in the large cities where the-misery of the working classes is tbe greatest, and nowUere more so than in Berlin, whieh enjoyed a temporary and altogether unreasonable boom after the events of 1870 converted it into the capital of t< e empire. There was a rush of the working classes from ail parts of Germany to Berlin; men abandoned steady work and thriving business in the provincial towns and rural districts, in tbe hope of makipg a large and speedy fortune at Berlin. To-day the boom is on the wane—nay, almost over—and Berlin is crowded with an immense body «! tbe laboring classes, who, while willing aud anxious to work for their living, have neither prospect of obtaining employment nor means of leaving the p.ace." If the suppositions of this writer bs correct. we may reasonably expect such scenes iu Chicago. Men have crowded into the World's l air city from every part of the country in search of work, and the Herald thinks the influx has bat just begun. There are thousands upon thousands now idle, and they are growing more desperate daily. Should a serious riot occur there, the news would probably be interpreted by German papers in their own way, just as we have expressed our views upon the recent outbreaks in Berlin, it does not seem Dkriv that hungry men would care very mueh about what the Emperor said at a banquet, but should be wholly bent upon an immediate relief of their starving condition.

Urcat Britain.

The Irish local government bill has been printed. It contains seventy eight clauses, and affords boundless opportunities for "obstruction.” ,The Irish education bHl, which has also been introduced, contains some objectionable features, but it is essentially a compromise measure, and as such tbe government can pass it into law if they really

desire to do so.

Over a year ago the constant complaints respecting ths infficiency of ths British army compelled the government to appoint a committee of inquiry. The committee took an enormous mass of evidence, upon which it drew uq) a report which has this week been presented to Parliament, after an ineffectual ettort by the government to suppress it or delay its publication. The report affords full justification for the critics, an 1, in consequence, is calculated to cause serious public alarm. Is is said that by Sir Henry James’s advice Mrs. Osborne, whose trial will probably take place next Monday week at the Old Bailey, will throw herself upon the mercy of the court, and that Sir Charles Kusseil will then make an appeal that ahe be treated under the statute passed bv this Parliament and known aa “The First Offenders’ Act." By this aot the judge, if satisfied that the first offender is truly penitent aud not likely to offend again, may admonish and discharge the prisoner. Mr. Balfour’s blundering management at the House of Commons bias caused serious delay to publio business this week. The whole of Thursday night was occupied by a debate on the 8cotch money bill, and it was not until nearly midnight that Balfoor discovered that the bill should have been introduced in what is technically known as committee of the whole. The House night was entirely wasted, therefore, as ths bill will have to be brought in again, and the members of the opposition are not likely to forego the malioioua delight of repeating their speeches.—[New York Sun. Rev. George Arbuthnot, vicar of Strat-ford-on-Avon, writes that the restoration of the chancel of Shakespeare’s church has been completed at the expense of the committee of Stratford ladies. The worn-oat pavement has been rslatd, ths whitewashed walla havs been scraped; ths windows, from which the last traces of the snoient glass wers removed in 1791, have been filled with beautifn modern glass; the panelling behind the stalls, which bad disappeared altogether, has been replaced, aad last, but by no means least, ths altar slab of St Thomas of Canterbury’s chaps!, erected by John de Stratford, archbishop of Canterbury, has been recovered from the place whe're it has Iain hidden since ths Reformation, and is now nssd as tes high altar.

Revolting facta have come under the Baroness's observation. At the Shelter of the Society for the Prevention of Craeltv to Children "one poor little girl of five years of ago was almost imbecile from ths terrors she had endured, and her language, on tbe rare ©cessions when she did spesk, was of a foal and evil kind. She had been tied up across the rails of g bedstead and beaten unmercifully by two human fiends day after day, so that her back was always a mass of wales and

blood."

German Empire. The new German tent ie devisible into two portions, each ef whioh can bs aon▼erted iato on overcoat in ease of rain. The German printers ora suffering severely from the recent strike. In Leipsie alone there are five hundred men nnd nearly four hundred women whose places havs been filled by non-unionists. Reports from other town are to the same effect. Kaiser William has 1st loose his royal indignation upon Herr Von Gretoennn' ns the type of the too extravagant officer. Greiseuau was accustomed to drive to the parade groond in n carriage and mount his eharg r there, instead of riding to the field from his lodgings. Being reprimanded by his colonel, he immediately advertised his horses and carriage for sale, "owing to anfortunate oirc a instances." There are many, both at home and abroad, who believe that the Emperor's mind is affected, and that his extraordinary freaks, both of speech and action, ore attributable to a latent insanity of tho same charaeter ns that white, in 1857, tereed ths Prussian government to place under restraint his predecessor and great-unale. King Frederick William IV, and to appoint the latter’s brother as regent The db-

in that city has been strongly inspected. Tbe German government obtained such evidence test there is good reason to believe that the Russian and French governments are in possession of the designs of all ths new war vessels at Kiel and also of tbs plans of the extensive fortifications by whioh tbe harbor and dockyard of that port

are to be protected.

France.

M. Carnot's term as President of France will expire in December, 18J4, and tee rumor is already goinr about that he does not wish to be re-elected. There is a bill before tbe Freneh Legislature to enlarge ths present divorce law. it proposes to tarn "separation decrees” into obligatory divorees, instead of optional divorces, three years after an application for •ach conversion. A London journal says of tbe Due de la Rochefoacaald, who married the daughter of Senator Mitchell, that although his father was a Rochefoucauld, his mother was a vivandiere. The preeent Dae nos never been well received in Parisan society. —[New York San. Tbe ministerial crisis in Pans has only lost concluded, and in a manner which may lead to its revival very shortly. Senator Loubet, the new Premier, held the office of Pnblie Works five years ago, bat overybody had forgotten the fact, and nobody dreamed nntil to-day that he would be suddenly called to tbe head of affairs. It is ths fashion to predict a short life for every new Freneh Ministry, and the present ocoasion is no exception.' Three months is the span of lite generally predicted for this Loubet Cabinet. Miscellaneous. Tbe Moseow Gszette announces that a Russian fleet will visit Cherbourg next summer. It will be under the command of Admiral Kaznakoff. It is to be hoped that an engagement of a more serious character may not put it out of the power of the Russian admiral to bring bis ships to that towu for the purpose of making more noise over the Franeo-Russian alliance.—[New York bun. The socialists of Zeitz. Saxony, have scored a point osuinst the police. The authorities waged war upon the brewsrymen who allowed their establishments to be used os the meeting place of the disciples of Rebel and Liebknecht. The breweries capitulated, and the socialists boycotted the oapitulards and bought a theater for 150,000 marks, of which they will tuke formal possession on tbe 1st of Mav. They propose to hold all their future meetings in this theater. How to turn them out of their own house is ths difficultv which the police have to deal with; but where there is a will there is a way. t BEATS L.KG BALL AND CHAIN.

Louis Special New York Bun.] Ths two San Francisco deteetives who cams hers with Marion Hsdspeth, the dynamiting express train robber, not only carried sawed-off shoteuns loaded with buckshot, but they had the young desperado loaded down with what they called an "Oregon boot" There was the greatest curiosity on the part of Chief Lawrence Harrigan and his force to see this boot when it was taken off the prisoner, and when Robert Pinkerton, who nabbed Hedspeth’s confederate, Slye, got hers to-day, he also showed more interest in ths Western invention than he did in seeing the daredevil ruffian who wore it.
