Liberal EDToRs.-The Bnrdell murder
is being turned into q regular newspaper
farce in New York. The little DaV Book,
not to be behind its more plethoric neigh
Dor of the Times, offers reward of ten
thousand dollars for the murdcrer-the
money to be paid tuheR The felLOw as huRgl
The Herald, not to be outdone by its rivals,
comes up boldly and offers reward of FIVE
thousand dollars for the murderers of Miss
Mary Rogers, the beautiful cigar girl;
$4,000 for the murder of DR. Harvey Bur
dell; $4,000 for the murderer of DR.. Lutte
uer; $4,000 for the murderer of Mrs.
HOuseman, on Staten Island, a few years
ago, for which crime Polly Bodine was
tried and acquitted; $4,000 for the murder
er Of young Pierce; $4,000 foE the murder
er Of the unknown young woman found
dead at Newburg; $4,000 for the murderer
Of Police Officer Hardenbrook. The pro,
prietOr of the Herald also offers the same
reward-Gve thousand dollars-in the cases
of Bartholomew Burke, porter, killed in
the shop corner Of White street and Broad
way; Mr.. Henry Corlies, shot on the corner
Of Leonard street and Broadway; Mrs.
Walker, murdered in her own house in
Lexington avenue; the painter in Ann
street, supposed to have been killed by one
of his apprentices, two or three years since;
aud the man killed at the corner of Ann
and Nassau streets about the same time
In the cases of the following named missing
persons, the proprietor of the Herald offers
reward of one thousand dollars each, for
such informtions as will lead to discovery
of their whereabouts: Erastus L. De For
est, from the Metropolitan Hotel; John B.
Vedder, of Chicago, do; aud Miss Sarah
McClelland, from Brooklyn. The propri-
etor of the Herald will give likewise
gratuity of seven thousand FIVE hundred
dollars Isl 500 TO any country lawyer
who will come to the city and clear the
dockets Of the criminal courts. Here is a
sickening record Of crime, which is enough
to make the stoutest heart quail Will
the press Of the Empire City now give over
its continued pratting about law and order?
The murderer, with bloody hands, stalks
through its crowded streets, and laughs
the law to scorn. The criminal records Of
New York show that even-handed justice
has no abiding place there, and strangers
should avoid t as they would the poison
Gus Upas tree.

AN ITEM FOR BILLIARD PLAYERs.--The
following item Of interests only to billiard
players, is copied from late New York
paper.
"Three match games Of billiards were
played yesterday at the Irving rooms, cor

which Mr. Price, an amateur from Bos-
ton, made the following very handsome
runs while playing carom game against
New York amateurs full game: The
first game be closed by run of 76, the
second 81, and the third 81 He then
played with the owner Of the rooms, Mr..
Higham, the well known Albany player,
and though Mr. H. discounted him, be was
beaten. This is what is termed among the
fancy tall play"

Times tells this story:
Dan Rice, the well known clown, remit
ted in settlement Of an account, to the
publisher of paper in the West, three
dollar bill, which was returned with the
brief remark, This note is counterfeit,
please send another" 1t was two months
before he heard from Dan again, when be
apologized for the delay, saying that be
had been unable till now to find an other
counterfeit three dollar bill. but he hoped
the one now enclosed would suit, protesting
at the same time his inability to discover
what the objection was to the other, which
he thought as good counterfeit as he
ever saw. 1t must be admitted that Dan
swept that board.

threatening the democratic convention with

nominated him. We at the time declared
A nomination Of an acknowledged bolter,
thus obtained, could not bind usage obser-
wing democrats. Bnt be was elected good
democrats supported him, and he got op-
position and soft votes enough to give
him a majority. He now rewards the
democrats by boiling the nomination Of

pecimen Of the honesty of these soft demo.

them in our ranks. They will not volatile

same time all hards are expected to sup
port any soft who may get a nomination.
That was the way things worked in Multi

hards there voted the ticket nominated,
while the softs scratched the name of every

extent in Clackamas.-Oregon Statesman.

DOUGLAS JERRoLD AND THE QUEENS
NHrH.-The following is just in this gentle
Satirist'S best vein. The similitude of the
elephant, meaning the nation, is a witty
coHceit:
The elephant Of the Geological gardens,
il the Park, was ever the best tempered of
his most sagacious race. With wisdom,
which was not all instinct, he liked children /;
for be was o domestic elephant Well, it
was very pleasant to fathers and mothers
in reality, and no less pleasant to parents
10 probability, to see with what aHectionate
gravity this dear old elephant would take
children, the little ones, too, with their
nurse upon bis back; and 10 see him walk
about, as though majestically proud Of
what he carried.
Well, once upon a time, a fond united
couple, with all their little ones, came to
the gardens, and thought they would give
the children a ride upon the elephant.
Some Of the children were none Of the
smallest and none Of the lightest, but what
Of thatH The dear good natured elephant
would bear any weight and carry any
number And so the elephant stood still,
and looked from those small, sagacious
eyes with waggish good temper, and moved
bis trunk and nodded his head. Aud the
children were gathered to have ride.
And in this way they got up and were lif-
ted up in order:
