The following Jeu desprR exhibits the free
and humorous severity with which the English
seoeders are treated by The London Press.
DREADFUL SUICIDE-CORoNER'S INQUEST
From the London Moaning Chronicle.
An inquest was iield last week on The bodies
OF the SIX unhappy gentlemen, whose rash act
has been the subject Of wonder and surprise for
days past. The jury assembled at The sign of
Tile Hand in Pocket, in Westminster, and Mr.
J. Bull presided as coroner. The bad odour
from :he subjects "as intolcrable, and potwith-
standing the affecting nature Of the spectacle,
more handkerchief were applied to the noses
than TO the eyes.
The first body viewed by the jury was that of
Lord Eidon .ltborc striking marks Of decay,
aid the surprise is that nature had not dismiss
ed i, 10 It's home long before tie fatal deed Of
violence was committed Nothing remained
OF the heart bat a mere sac, or bag Of leather,
resembling purse; the liver was of singular
wilderness; the head discovered indie atoms Of
!s.havlns been long past service, but the hands
seemed 10 have retained their faculty OF grasp
ing in an extraordinary perfection to the las,
Indeed all persons thought il singular that
man should have persisted by fall who was 50
remarkable for the tenacilyof his held.
The first witLess examined was his Lord
ships factoium, Mr.. H.
4 juror: DO you recognise that body, Mr.
Hn
Mr.. H.: 'Ies, gentlemen, (burs,iDg into tears
these are the remains of the defunct Chancel-
lor.'
Juror: Can you give US any information how
the departed Minister came to his end?'
Mr.. H.: 'Alack, alack, that should have 10
tell the tale. He jumped GU. of his Office win
dow on the evening ofthc l2th Of May
Juror: Had you observed any thing extraor-
binary in his n.anncr-any symptoms Of des-
pondency or distress Of mind?'
f. Dir III: Not in particular, gentlemen. My
Lord was always in great distress about money,
Tor he could not get as much as he wished for,
poor gentleman, and often talked of coming to
want, but he was not worse in this way imme.

Singular Escope-A ,use like that by which
Madame LevaIctte freed her husband from the
dungeons of Louis, ha, it seems been employed
at Plattsburgh, to cheat justice of its due. The
Keesyille Essex County Herald, says:-
"Ihe companion in iniquity of Houehton.
confined in Plattsburgh gao! on suspicion of be-
ing an accomplice in the murder ofherT iIceiti-.
mate child, made her escape from prison OH
Saturday last. Her sister arrived from Chazy,
on horse and side saddle and was granted
permission to visit her in prison They chang
ed clothes, the prisoner came out unsupported
and, after paying for the horse keeping, rode
OFT at her leisure. The next day the supposed
prisoner requested to come out, and on being
informed that that was impossible, she replied
that he had no accusation against her, and un.
less she was Immediately released she would
prosecute him for false Imprisonment On
closer examination the gaoler discovered that il
was "veriy 500 and she was of course dis
charged"

LITERARY ANECDOTES Few readers Of taste
can have forgotten toe impression first produ-

and descriptions Of the late Rober, Bloomfield
The latter days of this worthy, unassuming
man, were darkened by poverty and af1ic,ion
The failure of his publishers some expensive,
unproductive law suits-ill heal,h-a too easy
ard generous disposition and peculiar family
ceptihly involved his affairs
in confusion, ant sunk him into q state Of
neryeless, hopeless, despoDdency, from which
he was only relieved by death One of his
warmest and steadiest friends, a living poet,
OF high reputation, attempted at one time 10
procure his appointment 10 a humble situation
then vacant, in one Of the subordinate Off es
Of Government. Bloomfield was every was
qualified for the Office, and his friend, Mr.. r.
lost no time in applying 10 a nobleman. then
high in his Majrs,y's Councils, TO tnoeavor to
secure the appointment. The request was in
stantly granted. "Nothing," his Lordship was
pleased to say, "would afford him gr, alter plea
sure than to fulfil The wishes Of Mr.. Z. and
oblige, his friead, The poet, in SO slight mat
ter" Day, however, succeeded day, and no
appointment took place-it was not entered in
the bond. But as great men have sometimes
bad memories, and are troubled after many
things, it was possible that the promise migh,
be accidentally forgotten. A second applica-
ton was accordingly made 10 Load S. and Sc
cond promise returned, with numerous apollo
gies for his Lordship's unintentional lapse Of
memory Another delay, however, took place
the application was again renewed, another
hollow promise was given, and in few days
poor Bloomfield learned that Lord S. had con-
ferred the vacant Office upon another indi,idu-
al. Johnson was right in saying that bookshelf
crs are the best patrons of genius.
10 mark the sort of fatality which lung
over the worldly affairs Of Bloomfield, after the
FIRST burst Of his popularity had subsidized, we
shall relate another iucident:-At dinner par
~ in the mt tropois, few years aimee, the al
tered circumstances Of the rural poet happened
to form the topic of conversation, when one Of
the Company remarked, that an annuity, which
to a certain amount, he thought there would
be no difficulty in raising, would form the most
effectual plan of relieving The poet, and contrl-
buting TO his permanent tranquility and well
fare; 81, myself" added the gentleman, "will
cheerfully give five pounds per annum." The
design was applauded, but met with no sup.
port; and though the gentleman alluded to Of
fered to subscribe even ten pounds, 10 attain
the end desiied, it was found necessary 10 a.
bandon the scheme. Poor Bloomfield had fall
len into what Jeremy Taylor calls, the portion
of weeds aud oulworn faces" In justice to a

The execution of six miliiiamen, in 1915, has

" II inililisnan deserts, shoot him: if he gives
information to the enemy for his advantage, shoe,
him: If be gives false nformstion if ne deser,s
his post secretly or fur,igeiy, then may be be
shot"
Thus has Mr.. Gales given the cases in wbic,
ne would shoot miliiiaman; carefully endeayor-
ing to avoid, as be supposes, the particular case
under consideration. Let us examins his ethics
LIST. " II he deserts to the enemy, shoot him -
Now to this, there is one answer The law
has provided that death is The penalty for deser-
don, and if the law be wrong, is should be a,
nendsd.
3D. g II he deserts his post secretly or fur
f51ety, then may he be shot, This then is Mr.
Gales opinion. If soldier deserts secyefly or

the ct'rge IN This esse, was not for deserlion ,ut

Mr.. Gales says, if 1t was furtiDeiy, then thu Of
Tenders may be shot. We do not know what M,

seem, from his own showing, that the dessrtion h
this case was Ji1tDeiy, and therefore, wor thy Of
