SOME DAY the honest man on the witness-stand will pull the nose of the cross-examiner who insults him, and the court will fine the ex- aminer for contempt of decency. R. MURPHY of Boston used a club, a bullet and an axe in the work of killing his wife. He did her a great kindness, Death is better than life with such a man as that, [T 1S FOUND that those men who were recently killed in the prize-ring died of no violence, but merely of a little inadvertent heart-failure. And now you know where it is safe to murder. L. STEVENSON married the wife of a Mr. Osborne, and Osborne attended the wedding with a new bride. The two latter have ap- parently gone to that Osborne whence no traveler returns. A GOOD PAT HAND. Wa.al, brudder, de doctah done gone an’ tole me Brupper E1tis—‘* Yo' calls, does yo"?

What could he have done half as good for himself as to confess to things which were known and proved? Evidence for the state comes only from guilty men. Let him not set up for an angel till after death, THE REWARD OF CRIME, T IS IMPOSSIBLE to avoid sympathy for Seely, the bank-robber; but, according to his own story, what an innocent he was! He made an error involving a small sum, and before he got through with it it cost his bank three hundred and fifty-four thousand dollars. The directors of the bank have a kindly feeling for him; but let us hope that when he is par- doned he won't be made president of the institution, THE UNIVERSAL PATRIOT. JOHN BURNS is chided by some western labor leaders for praising England and roughly criticising some of our peculiar institutions. Here comes in the love and pride of home which no injustice can eradi- cate. Your suffering man wants it understood that you can’t touch his country and his flag with a rude hand, however much they may have hurt and impoverished “him. If they need to be cursed he wants it understood that he can do it himiself. REFORM, REFORM! MANY OF THE TENEMENTS owned by the Trinity corporation have been filthy and dangerous for years. Trinity has been aware of this, and has been reminded of it many times; but its large busi- ness interests and its well-managed charities have taken up so much of its’ attention that improvement has been impossible. Now the out- rage must be reformed out of ex- istence. We insist that our share of the Anneke Jans property shall be paid at once. NEVER STEAL. A FORTUNE dishonestly got is not worth having. A man’s self-respect. is worth more than money. The disgrace of his family is worse than poverty. The finger of scorn is as relentless as death and is always before his suspicious eye. The apprehension of discov- ery is as bad as discovery itself. Robbery is agony to the robber, and if ever suicide is pardonable it is so in his case. Think of the criminal news of last year, and learn the luxury of an honest life. so I fought I'd jes’ call an‘ see "—— WHERE JUDAS WAS WISE. A CLERGYMAN of Utica discovers that Judas was a politician, Well, that is a compliment that Mr. Iscariot has not previously had. Very many good men are politicians. We could not get along without them. They do a great deal of needed work for nothing, and they are patriotic and unselfish. Washington and Lincoln were politicians. And in this country, where the people make and unmake their own government, the man who is not a politician is blind to his own duty and his own interests, HYPNOTISM AND THE FEEBLE MIND. HYPNOTIC INFLUENCE is the defense of a couple of murderers out west; and in another western town two girls charge their ruin to the hypnotism practiced by a doctor and his son. It is likely that in many cases hypnotism is alleged as an excuse for criminality, and the allegation isalie, Let the courts recognize this influence, and in a few days there will be propositions to burn the hypnotic wizard as they used to burn witches in Salem. And then we shall say again that there is nothing new under the sun. THE POPULAR NOVEL. **ONE NEVER has to read a Stevenson sentence a second time,” says the Buffalo Express, evidently with approval, “to search for ahidden meaning.” What kind of criticism is this? The more famous stories of last year were created to mystify, not to satisfy; and again Mr. Stevenson had a bad habit of finishing his stories, and of giving his char- acters, as a gratification to his readers, a fairly good time. Let the Er- press reflect. No story is a good story untess it is extremely melancholy and irretrievably bad. comicbooks.com
