cfber case this week of hasty shooting by officers—constables this time—who were in pursuit of a fugitive "suspected of a great crime." "This victim turns out to be a perfectly innocent man, yet it is a mere accident that he was not killed outright, instead of being badly wouuded. Apparently it will take a downright murder to bring about the needed reform in this matter of arresting people by pistol balls.

CRIME

is tbe costliest of all things,

and yet it is, in a majority of cases, perpetrated with a view to obtaining money. Hunter, tbe murderer recently executed at Camden, N. J., killed his victim for the purpose of getting the proceeds of the insurance on his life, and it is said the family of the murderer spent some $17,000 in vainly trying to clear bim. Tbe expenses of the State were also very heavy, the jury costing $800, a diagram of the scene of the murder, |600 eight deteotives were paid $5 a day each, and other expenses in proportion. So that even from a financial standpoint crime does not pay.

now a woman comes to the front.

After Edison has failed, a Mrs. Walton, an elderly lady who keeps a boarding house in New York, succeeds in inventing a contrivance for deadening the reverberations caused by the Elevated Railroads in that city. Her invention consists in placing beneath the rail a box about fourteen inches wide, with its sides as high as the top of tbe rail. The bottom is coated with tar, over which is placed a layer.of cotton sand is then filled in and the whole covered with felt and asphalt. The snug sum of 110,000 is her reward. About ten years agqa prominent minister published a newspaper article to show that woman had never been an inventor, and tbat even in playing the piano, her own peculiar instrument, she was eclipsed by man, and that therefore she ought not to be demanding rank along with man when she could not compete with him. Seeing that at last a woman has actually out-invented the great inventor of tbe age himself, what place shall we give her now? ______________

GEN. SHIELDS,

lately elected Senator

for tbe short term from Missouri, who had twice been United States Senate before, is a striking illustration of tbe fostering nature of our Republican institutions. He himself has well expressed it in his speech before tbe Missouri Legislature "Notwithstanding tbe fact tbat I came to tbe United States a friendless boy, from poor, dear, generous old Ireland, and tnat I had not a friend I knew, or a man that knew me at tbe time, I stand here to-night before tbe General Assembly of Missouri, already the represents tive of two sovereign States, and you are now about to make me tbe representative of a third one. Such a thing as this, has never happened in any country before, and such a thing could not be done by any otber people on God Almighty's eartb, except the American people." d.",

The career of such a man, only an exception in tbe striking brilliancy of his sucoesse, not as a representative instance of the working of our customs and laws, is enough to show that there isnoroozi for the reign of the com tnuniet here, as securing a rightful equality, for there Is a better way than in blotting out one's individuality and making him simply one of a vast herd, like a herd of horses or cattle, and that is (in developing in the freest manner tbe real manheod witbin bim, and letting tbat bave full fisa play according to the possibilities of bis nature. Let tbe Nobelings who shoot emperors oome over and try this way, and tbey will soon find tbat tbe genius of tbat freedom will enlarge the minds of tho emperors and bring disentbrallment without violence to tbe cringing millions. This is tbe poor man's land and be will be tbe first to defend it.

is said that tbe late Caleb Ouabing bad a memory that made him In some respect* a mental prodigy. When be was appointed Judge on the Supreme Bench of Massachusetts, although already a lawyer of repute, he yet felt the need of a wider knowledge of preeedenu and decisions, and accordingly set himself to reading up in that respect. He only had three weeka to devote to his taak yet witbin that time he read end mastered sixty-seven volumes, completely surprising his most intimate friends by the grasp after polota as he bad seized them. He was also the ooaapeer of Webster, Clay and Calhoun, in some respects, with a genius as remarkable as that of any of them. As a diplomatic he was unequaled. His knowledge of all the principles of civil and political government made bins high authority in such things. For nearly half a century he was identified In important particulars with tLe history of the country.

And yet this man, so commanding in his powers, never impressed himself in any distinctive manner as a creative spirit upon the issues that shaped the doctrines of the lsnd. He

A SUICIDE A LA POE.

Newspaper readers will remember the circumstances of the singular death of Cashier Barron, of the Dexter Savings Bank, at Dexter, Maine, about a year ago. He was found dead on the evening of February 22, 1878, gagged and handcuffed, with several bruises about his head, jammed in a narrow space between the bank vault, and the door locked upon him. The affair was involved in the deepest mystery, and there were several circumstances connected with the supposed murder and robbery which the keenest detectives could not explain. It was thought that not less than' tbree men would have been required to put Barron where and in the condition in which he was found. But tbe ground was covered with snow, and yet there were no tracks to be seen about the building. The murder was committed in daylight, yet the bank was in full sight of tbe postofflce, where many persons were constantly going to and fro, yet no one saw any stranger go from the bank building. The dust in the coal room, where it was believed tbe robbers were concealed, was so thick on the floor that tracings could be made with the fingers, yet there were no signs of any persons having been there. And so the affair rested rested, one of those mysterious occurrences which give small promise of any featisfactory solution. The news sped over the country tbat Barron had died the death of a hero at his post of duty, for refusing to give the combination of the safe to the robbers. Money was raised for his family, and a fund subscribed for the building of a church to his memory (now nearly completed) to be called the Barron memorial church.

It seems tbat the mystery has been cleared up, and in such away as to show that Barron was a defaulter and suicide, instead of a hero and martyr. Some controversy having arisen between tbe bank officers and Barron's administrator, last fall, led to an examination of the books of the bank, which disclosed the fact that Barron was a defaulter to the bank in tbe sum of about |2,000. The discrepancy had been carefully concealed on tbe books, and the ingenious cashier had entered on tbe books tbe purchase of a bond by tbe bank, equal to the amount of tbe deficiency. This bond, be had planned to have it appear, the robbers carried off, but the bank has advertised widely for the loet bond without avail.

These discoveries having been made, it was determined to experiment upon the possibility of Barron's having gagged, handcuffed and locked himself into tbe vault. On the outer door is a combination lock, held to the door by a cap on the inftide, fastened with a screw. Tbe cap being removed, it was very easy to poll tbe door sbnt, shove tbe bolts in place and secure them, and replace the cap and screw it on. It is now thought that Barron did this, then swallowed morphine, pot tbe gag in bis mouth, tied tbe rope round bis neck, and manacled his hands behind him with self-locking handcuffs.

even a leader in his own psrty in tbe sense that a Douglass led his followers. Charles Sumner, with hardly a tithe of the versatility he possessed, yet outranked him in lnfluenoe upon the issues of tbe day, linking his name as a maker of laws and history, with the fathers of bis country, and with the great moulding spirits of the past. Even his own companions, if we may believe what we read, were afraid of Cushing. There was always a lack of confidence in him. Why was all this The secret was, he was not a man of convictions Personally honest, he nevertheless never seemed to bave any depth of moral earnestness about him. He was tbe judge who, in statute law and the matter of legal precedents, was facile princeps—easily king but in common law and questions of equity he was ever second and third. His career is a striking one as that of a man who bad royal talents, fitted to lead and yet he fell behind. Lincoln, with his almost childlike simplicity and moral earnestness,—so that he bore with him the soubriquet, "Honest Abe," —although with no national reputation, either as jurist or statesman, came to the front, and won. Nor was it because Cusbing was a democrat that he failed here. Bayard and Thurman to day, democrats, show what men may do and be, who have convictions and moral outreach. It is a striking chapter of history thus brought before us, and one worth pondering by the "coming man" in politics.

the death of Bryant, in wblob

Immc

unusual age

Prof. Mathews, in his work on "Oratory and Orators," tells many amusing anecdotes of noted public speakers. Returning from ohurch on Sunday old Dr. Edward Beecher said to his son Henry: "It seems to me I never made a worse sermon than I did this morning." "Why, father," Henry replied, "I never heard you preach so loud in all my life." "That is the way," said the Doctor "I always holloa when I haven't anything to say 1"

young preacher who had filled Dr. Emmons' pulpit, augling for a compliment, complained at dinner that "some how be couldn't get into bis subject." "Do you know the reason, sirf" exclaimed he "it is because your suHect never got into you." .It is said of Lord Erskine tbat be was once counsel for a man named Bolt, who had been accused by the opposing attorney of dishonesty. "Gentlemen," replied Erskine, "my learned friend has taken unwarrantable liberties with my client's good name. He is so remarkably of an opposite character that he goes by the name of Bolt upright." This was a pure Invention, which occurred to him at the moment. On another occa sion, in an action against the proprietor of a line of stage coaches, for injuries sustained by the upsetting of a vehicle, Mr. Erskine began: "Gentlemen of the jury, tbe plaintiff is Mr. Beverly, a respectable merchant of Liverpool, and

the defendant is Mr. Wilson, proprietor

Mr. Conkling demanding that, as Senator from New York, he should be consulted and bis wishes obeyed in tbe matter of appointments. His position virtually was tbat members of Congress have the right to control the federal patronage and dictate appointments.

It is true that tbe constitution gives tbe Senate a supervisory control of a certain class of appointments by requiring the nominations of the President to be confirmed by the Senate, but this authority was never meant to be used to advance the permnal interests of members of that body. The object of it was to insure the appointment of good officers, and to defeat improper ones. The truth is, Senator Conkling was representing the political "machine," which has been in tbe habit hitherto of running everything to suit itself. The President was determined not to be controlled by the machine, and he was not. Mr. Conkling retires, very much damaged, from the encounter.

"the land of steady habits," where, if anywhere, one would think that foolish romance could hardly find its way, a Mrs. Cobb fell in love with a married man named'Bishop, a cadaverous looking .Romeo, who drove the grocery wagon to her door, and helped lighten her tortuous way by delivering to her candles and.coal oil. Tbey both lived in Norwich, and she gave him the euphonious name of "Pet." She wrote him poetry, sent her little girl with notes to him, met him by appointment several times, and found at length the true love for which her pure soul yearned. By and by his wife died, and then her husband, and she has lately been convicted for poisoning the latter. Her Romeo unfortunately turned against her, and showed that "the old Adam," yet dwelt within, by urging as an excuse for his course, that her blandishments were too much for him, and tbat, enslaved by ber temptations be got the arsenic for her to give to her husband.

What is smoke? It is made up vf minute particles of unburned carbon it is fuel thrown away. Tbe torrents of black vapor from our chimneys and smoke-pipes contain thousands of tons of coal lost, because we bave not learned how to save it. The time will oome when this will be reckoned as foolish as we should now consider it to shovel coal into the sea, as we used to dispose of the refuse from gas works, which has become the source of so many useful and valuable products. Tbe chemical lecturer of the next century will tell his audience how long it was before tbe world learned to burn fuel without blowing a good part of it into the air. He will grow facetious as be describes the appearance of great cities perpetually covered with a ball of vaporous blackness. "Why, in the dark age," he will add, "tbeir railway engines used to drag long streamers of dirty smoke behind them, and one could not ride in the cars without havine bis eyes, nostrils, and throat filled with cinders and dust and, incredible as it may seem, this was tolerated for many years—the introduction of smokeless locomotives being one of the last improvements introduced into our railways system." And bis hearers will say to themselves: "What a terriiiie ordeal along railway ride must have been in those bad old times!"
