FUBLIC MORALS AND HANGINGS. From the Chicago Inter Occan.

Thfe inexhaustible food which the hanging of murderers seems to afford for loathsome particulars in the daily press, which aie given merely for the purpose of ministering to idle and disgufcting curiosity, has resulted in a movemeut in England to pass a law prohibiting the press from witnessing these spectacles. Application has been addressed to the Home Secretary, and it is not at all improbable that reporters hereafter will be excluded from executions. Those who •re in favor of excluding the press argue that if the law can be trusted to condemn a man to death, it can be equally trusted to carry out the sentence. They smile at the notion set forward by Ihe other party that the security of the state depend# upon tne presence of a few reporters. Indeed, some newspapers go so far as to suggest that it would be even more wholesome to return to the custom of public executions than to persevere in system which only encourages the manufacture of sensational reports. From an article in the current number of the Saturday Review we learn that the London Standard has taken the initiative and asked fer the protection of Parliament. But the Standard, in violation ofit6 own precepts, published a long descriptive account ot the recent hanging of Peace. This shows that Ihe best intentions are powerless, even among journals which have erred the least in this direction, while the contemporary press does not stop at supplying the demand for this kind of writing, but is continually giving its readers a larger and showier supply to tempt a fresh demand.

When Connolly and Sherry were hanged in this^city the Inter Ocean did precitely|what the London Standard didjat Ihe hanging of Peace. It published a full report of the proceedings, and if there •was any departure from good taste or decency, the excuse is that, with other journals striving to outdo one another in catering to the demands of the public appetite, managers of respectable newspapers seem at times powerless to control their own proceedings. The Inter Ocean has repeatedly offered to join its contemporaries in a movement that will secure criminals the simple attention they deserve, and no more, which, outside the condemnation of their crimes, is very little. But as the Saturday Review truthfully remarks, the demand for this sort news is so great lhat even a journal of European position like the London imefc, on the occasion of the death of one of the lowest of criminals, is forced to devote a leading ar ticle to the analysis of his character, and to fill three columns of small print with a recital of hte breakfast and his dying utterances. There is probably no living statesman, or writer, or artist, who could count upon such obsequious attention after his death.

Readers of Chicago papers have not forgotten the six weeks prior to the" hanging of Connolly and Sherry. They were constantly kept before the public. Every word they spok- waft reported every clownish act was enlarged upon every persotfal peculiarity was described. Did Connolly eat eggs for breakfast, the fact was promptly chronicled did Sherry go lobed without his supper, the fact was duly reported. Next came the execution, the description of the "scaffold," how they "partook of breakfast," the "firm tread on the gallows," "pale and haggard" looks, "startling eyes," the "hempen garland." Then we were treated to the details of the "fitting on of the cap," and so on, until the "trap was sprung."

It is urged by thoughtful men that it is better for the public to witness thee proceedings in all their brutal realty, as was done the other day ^n. Kentucky, than that they should learn to expect with eagerness lengthy descriptions in the newspapers, in which every loathsome detail is set forth with the lowest ornaments of sentimental writing. The Louisville Age, in commenting on the reports of the execution of Washington, the brutal negro, says: "Our city papers, to derive as much profit as possible from the occurrence, contained the most elaborate and detailed accounts of the horrible spectacle. They told how the condemned man was dressed, how he looked, what he said, how the rope was adjusted, how he fell before life was extinct, how he was taken up and hurg again, and even repeated, with revolting minuteness, the history of the crime and of the criminal. The CourierJournal, the leading newspaper of the South, went so far as to present a cut of the wretched creature, making a huge black splotch on the page, the features of which were represented as so brutal that the impression produced on the mind was similar to that caused by a terrible nightmare.

For the purpose of reporting these ishocking occurrences reporters are allowed to occupy front seats at the hangings. As shown in the Connolly Sherry case, in thi6 city, by being allowed the 'freedom of the iail the reporters are able gradually to excite public curiosity by ilhe publication of stray scraps of intelligence gleaned from" "half-hour chats" with the "condemned man," or, if he •'^•won't talk," from his cell-mates, or the prison authorities. This sort of thing prepares the mind of the reader for the •areception of the ghastly horof the execution itself. As has been Isatd, in this way the lowest scoundrel is -adroitly elevated into a worthy object of Intellectual curiosity and analysis. In the case of a man like Peace, all his

Vulgar successes in crime are transformed into marvelous exploits of prevei.ted 'genius. Thus little by little, the criminal's carreer is surrounded with a glamour of romantic splendor, until, •vyhen at la it like a Jonny Lamb or a IPete Stevens, he finds courage enough to committ a murder, the explot is dignified with the title of a "tragedy," ana his soul is ushered iuto another world amid a greater flourish of quill-pens and fabers than that which follows the exit of our greatest and best men. It may seem strange that the press cannot protect itself in this matter, but we think the reasons why it cannot have been fairly set forth. Let the State afford the .protection which respectable journalism seeks. In our own State we very much doubt if a correct construction of the law admits of the presence of newspaper men, and it is certainly difficult to see what good can be attained by

fcwriting

these shocking spectacles. A bare notice of the fact would do far more to win crime.

LAW AND HUMAN NATURE. From the Detroit free Press. "What! What! Why, this is the third time I have passed water to you this morning! replied Bijah to the occupant of cell No. 4. "Yes, that's true," was the clam ejoined "but did you ever know a manrin this country to ask for water unless he was mighty hard up for a drink?

Bijah mused over the query for half a minute and passed in the watercan, saying

Why don't vou behave yourself andkeep out of limbo?h "Why don't you grow hair on top your head?"wa8 the reply "What is to be will be. It was in'ended that you should be bald-headed and big-footed, and that I should suffer for the sins of others. Much obliged for the drink. Please take me out first, while his Honor is fresh.

He was taken out. He looked as good-natured as an old muid over a loveletter, and it was impossible to look at him and realize that he ever has sad hours and days of struggle with the toothache. "We won't make any fuss over th's case," he said to the court, as his smile in creased. "I know what law is, and you know what human nature is and we will strike a balance. Good-by, Judge. You have treated me like a white man, and I shall always feel grateful." "I wouldn't go just yet," suggested his Honor. "If 1 should sentence you for thirty days and you weren't hers when the Maria drove up, it would be rather awkward for us." "Well, I'll stay around for a few minutes, if it will be any favor to you," replied the prisoner, "though I should hate to miss the Chicago train. What was you wished to say?" "You areHhe stranger who ate oysters in a restaurant and couldn't pay for them," continued the court. "Judge, I could pay fir 1,000,000 fried oysters it they were all right, but that fellow put-up a job on me. I called for fried oysters and he mixed clams with 'em. Yes, sir, he thought he'd gum a man who has eaten more clams than this town ever saw." "Isn't a fried clam as good as a fried oyster?" "Yes, better but look at the principle! If he could mix clams with my oysters what would prevent him from mixing water with my beer or turnips -*ith my 'taters?" "Well," slowlr replied hiB Honor, "I think you had better go to Chicago." "I know I had, Judge. All I want is directon how to find the railroad track, and I'llnever bother this town again." "Don'tyou goby car?" "No, thankee. I go on my feet, covering three ties at every motion of my knee. When I get tired I can sit down, and I can take in the scenery a good deal better on foot." "Well, you mav walk. I want to hear of vou at "least six miles down the track bv noon."

I'll beat that by two miles unless I stnke a snow-drift," was the prompt re ply. and the man started out in a breezv way that made it bad for the corns he trod on.

THHEO P1UM HABIT IN CAL FORNIA.

N

Savs the San Francisco Bee: Opiumsmoking in this state and on this coast is on the increase. It is weakening, demoralizing, vicious in its tendencies. It has a power over the mind stronger than whi»key. It is ruining many if not in one shape then in another. Chinese opium dens are not on the increase, but the druggists' sale of the deadly drug is. Day by day it is becoming more and more an article of purchase* and many women seem to be using it to an alarming extent. There is not a paper on the coast that is not discussing the baneful practice, and not a day that some reference to its work is not to be found in a coast exchange. If the danger were only from the Chinese dens,^ then the remedy might not be so difficult. But men and women of good families do not want to sink so low as to be found in one of these vile rooms when they can enjoy the drug in some other shape at home. The real danger is in the druggists' shops, were various preparations of opium can be had by any one. New opium in any shape, except when prescribed by a physician, is a dangerous drug, and in any ihape offers temptation to the slave of the habit. Why should not the Legislature class strichnine, arsenic, chloroform, the various preparations of opium, and others^ of that ilk, under one head, and prohibit their sale, except to persons having orders from reliable physicians.

"HE COMETH NOT," SHE SAID. Her remark was, "He cometh not," and for this reason: As the steamer Worth left the Wilmington wharf on Tuesday morning, a man ran down the street and pushed through the crowd. The boat was under headway, and he could not jump on board. He was out of breath, and couldn't yell out to the captain, but swui.g an umbrella and a bandbox over his head to attract his attention. The captain did not recognize the signals, and presently the man sat down on a barrel. One of the idlers with great consideration asked him if he had wanted to get on board. He paid no attention to this, butquietly asked if there was another boat going up to Kaintuck that evening. They told him no, and he got up, dusted his hat off, and remarked: "Sal and I will just have to sit and crv and wait. The weddin' won't come off, to night, Don't matter much nohow, The supper can be warmed over, and I'll be there to-morrow if 1 hav* 10 fly.'*

A. DEVOUT PRISONER. The following story comes New Ultnr Minnesota: After going to his cell at night one prisoner used to kneel down and say his prayers so assiduously that he was still engaged in his devotions when the turnkey passed round to lock the cells. One night the turnkey saw him kneeling there, and he was in the same position when the turnkey passed round at 9 A. m. to unlock the cells. Surprised at this protracted piety, the turnkey entered the cell and discovered that the prisoner had prayed himserf out of jail, and left his jail "clothes stuffed with straw kneeling beside the bed. This discounts Paul and Silas.'

It seems rather odd to see two men playing seven-up for a dinner that is to lie eight-up.,

Catarrh: Gentlemen,— I hereby certify that I hare had Catarrh for ten years, and for the last six years hare been a terrlblu sufferer. I waa rendered partially deaf, had buzzing in tho head, pains across the temple. diuy spells, weak and piUnfal eyes, swollen and ulcerated tonsils, hard and constant coujfh. severe pain across the chest, and every indication of consumption. My head acUcd all tho time. The matter accumulated so rapidly hi my head and throat that I could not keep them free. Frequently at niKht I would spring out of bed. It seemed to me, at the point of suffocation. I would then have recourse to every means iu my power to dislodge the mucus from my throat and head before being able to sleep airalu. For a period of six years my tonsils were ulcerated and so much Inflamed thatl eould with difficulty swallow. I finally consulted an eminent surgeon in regard to an operation on them, but at his request postponed It. The constant inflammation and ulceration in my throat cansed by the poisonous matter dropping down from my head had so Irritated and Inflamed my lungs tbnt I coughed incessantly.—a doep.hard cough. Meanwhile my system began toshowtheeffeetsof this dlseaso, so that I lost flesh, grew palo, and showed every symptom of an eariv death oy consnmption. When matters had reached this stago, or about six months ago, I began tho use of 8A2troiu's RADICAL CUBB TOB CATABXB. Alter using the first bottlo I brenn to Improve rapidly. The Ant dose seemed tocfcnr my head as I had not known It to be for years. It Beamed gradually to arrest the discharges. It #opp«d thv cough in thret dayt. By nsing it as a garglel soon reduced the inflammation and swelling cfmy tonsils, eo that they soon ceased to troublo me. The soreness across my chest disappeared, the bussing noises In my head eessed. my senses ot seeing ana of hearing were completely restored, and every symptom or disease that had reduced me to the verge of the grave disappeared by tho uso of SAvroan's JUDICAL Ctntn ro* CATAMUI.

I have been thus explicit because, as a druggist, I havo seen a great deal of suffering from Cntarrh. and hope to convince many that this is a great remedy.

I am familiar with the treatment rf fatnrrh as practised by the best physicians, and have consulted the most eminent about my case. 1 have used every kind of remedy and apparatus that have np peered during a period of six years past, and havo, 'inr th, any
