II 10 a rotten state Of things when the laws are
not in accordance with the spirit of the men who
are called upon to act as jurors. Without treating
now the question whether capital punishment ought
or ought not to exist, we may cay word here on
capital crimes and their penalties Immediately
consequent 1t is fact that hardly five per cent OF
tho murderers in this city are executed. What pro-
portion of them escspe punishment altogether we
are not prepared to cay, but the same spirit which
refuses to hang, under the existing laws and in de-
iance of them, il prone to 60 step further, and
let the blood reeking murderer loose upon society
without imprisonment, or after lenient sentence
of incarceration. II is not possible to account for
the alarming growth Of murders in this city and the
vicinity, otherwise than BY this dissidence between
Local evidence and ix Interpretation by jures.
within tho last two days there have been two-or
perhaps as we write tbree-murders; and this is d
rate Of homicides which must demorallze society
beyond redemption, ii there be no adequate
check put upon it. In the countries Oh Europe
where, few centuries back, murder
was expiated BY a fine, there nov ex-
ist stringent laws against murder. These laws
arc equally executed upon poor and rich noble aud
simple. It's this impartislity in the execution OF
the laws this certainty that punishment falls upon
the duhe and the peddler alike for the commission
Of crime which mainly contributes to the sustenta-
ton Of the actual European powers, and creates
their means Of resistance 10 the republican sent-
nert. Whatever killings in Europe take place,
must be the large slaushterings Of wars or coups
d,eis., IL the criminals would escape the gallows
or suillotine. The Governments reserve to them
selves the privilege Of numbering wholesale or
tail. We have here, by the law of corporations,
it may be supposed, reversed this. Wars are the
s,c.utiou. and ipdig dual murders are rife.

Inset of Pulpit Gravity.

Many good stories Of this character are
told, but the following, from the Baltimore
Methodist Protestant, are among the ANUS
ing we have seen:
A minister was preaching to a large con-
greration in one Of the Southern States, on
the certainty Of future judgment. In tho
gallery sat a colored girl with white child
in her arms, which she was dancing up and
down with commendable effort to make tho
baby observe the proprietics OF the place,
the preacher was so much interested in his
subject as not to notice the occasional noise
of the infant; and, at the right point OF his
discourse threw himself into tragic atti-
tude, as though he had suddenly beard tho
first note of the trump of doom, and looking
toward that part of the church where tho
girl with the baby was sitting, he asked in
low, deep voice:
"What is that hear!"
Before he recovered from the oratorical
pause so as TO answer his own question, tho
colored girl responded in a mortified tone OF
voice, but loud enough to catch the car OF
the whole congregation:
al don't no, sa; spec it is dis hero
chile. but, indeed, sa, Use been dom all
could to keep him from 'sturbin' you"
II is easy to imagine that this unexpected
reioindcr took the tragic out Of the preacher
in the very shortest time imaginable, and
that the soemnity Of that judgment day
sermon was not little diminished by tho
event.
Another instance, equally confounding to
the minister, happened, we believe, IN Rich
mond, Va. A large congregation had Is.
sembled to hear a stranger of some notorie-
tv. Soon after he had introduced his sub.
iect. the cry Of Fire! fire." in the street,
very much disturbed the congregation, and
many were about to retire, when An elderly
brother rose and said:
"If the congre cation will be composed, I
will step out and see if there is any fire near
and return"
The congregation became composed, and
the minister proceeded. Taking advantage
Of the occurrence, he called attention to
fire that would consume the world-a iro
that would burn in the lake that is bottom.
less; and had just concluded sentence OF
terrible import, and not without maniiess
impres sion on his audience, when voice
from the other end Of the church, as u ~
fat denial of ali he said, bawled out:
"N is a false otd17n!
The effect was Iudicrous in the extreme.
The old man had returned but his inoppor'
tuna response spoiled the force Of the elo.
onent appeal from tho pulpit, and even the
:, ,,raocber could scarce refrain from joining 10
the universal smile that passed over the
congregation.

HoSG KovG.-There is thorn in the side
Of China. 1t is little rocky island that lies
a quarter Of mile from the shore in the
bay that leads to Canton. 1t was ceded by
the Chinese to the British in 1911, as q
"place where the barbarians might career
and refit their ships, and keep stores" This
is what is now known as Hong Kong. 1t
has turned out quite different from what the
giyers intended. A British city has grown
upon the rocks. Illicit British trade thrives
there in spite Of Chinese custom houses.
Millions of pounds of British opium find
their way from thence all over the Empire.
Smugglers moor their boats there under the
protection of the British flag. Pirates seek
that safe shelter to reft with British guns
and buy British powder. Criminals escape
from the Chinese stocks, paddle over there
to safe refuge on British soil. Rowing John
Cinnamon 60 there to take passage to San
Francisco, or to London in British ships.
Upwards of forty thousands OF not the most
reputable class of Chinese subjects, there
snap their fingers at the "Son of Heaven"
RIGHT under the noses of his Mandarins, but
lust out of the reach of their bamboos. This
little island of Hong Kong plays an impor-
tant part in the Chinese troubles. 1t is the
source of many of those prejudices which
find vent through other pretexts and in 9TH
er ways, making peace always hard to pre-
serve, and war always easy to prscipitate
between the two nations.

TaE ExDUKlsG IS OF SLOW GaowTH.-

TaE ENDURING IS OF SLOW GROWTH
Archbishop Whate'y, in his Annotations
upon Bacon's Essays, truthfully says:
We hear of volcanic islands thrown up
in a few days to a Formidable size, and in a
few weeks or months sinking down again or
washed away; while other islands, which
are the summit OF banks covered with weeds
and drift, continue slowly increasing year
after year, century alter century. 1ne man
that is in hurry 10 see the full effects of
his own ti!lage, should cultivate ANIMALS, not
forest trees. The clear-headed lover of truth
is content to wait for the result of his If
he is wrong in the doctrine he maintains, or
the measures he proposes, at least it is not
for the sake Of immediate popularity. If
he is right, it will be found out in time,
though, perhaps, not in his time. The pre-
parers of the mummes were, Herodotus
SAYS, driven out of the house by the family
who had engaged their services, with exc
crations and stones but their work remains
sound after three thousand years.
The same writer observes, with regard to
precocious talent:
] lad who has. to degree that eycites
wonder and admiration, the character and
demeanor of an intelligent man of mature
years, will probably be that, and nothing
more, all his life, and will cease accordingly
to be anything remarkable, because it was
the precocity alone that ever made him SO.
1t is remarked by greyhound fanciers that
a we'll formed, compact shaped puppy never
makes fleet dog. They see more promise
in the loose jonted, awkward, clumsy ones.
And even so there is a kind of crudity and
unsettledness in the minds of those young
persons who turn out ultimately the most

WEALTH OF THE JEws.-The French cor
respondent of the New York Times says,
some one has made singular calculation in
regard to the Jews in Paris. In sharing
among the entire Hebrew population of the
city the total fortune of all the bankers,
capitalists, negociants, merchants, &C., be-
longing to the jew family, each Of the chill
dren of Israel would have an annual income
of about $4,000. The same calculation
was made for the Christian population, and
it was found that in case of an equal distri.

would be but $50.

LOOKING GumrY.-Nothing can DO more
absurd than the idea that "looking guilty"
proves guilt An honest man charged with
crime is much more likely to blush at tho
accusation than the real offender, who is
generally prepared for the event, and has
his face "ready made" for the occason.-
The very thought of being suspected OF any
thing criminal will bring the blood to an
innocent mans cheeks. in nine cases out Of
ten. The most "gulty looking" person VIC
ever saw was a man arrested for stealing
