II is late in the day TO criticise Bayard Taylor. His
place as world wsndereri is If the bull be pernitted
long since fixed. TO praise him 10 such audience a.
can be addressed from ibis TRIBUNE would be TO curry
Goals to cchuylki or the Parker Vein. Why should
native Americans persist in importing their very
nationa, literature 2 70 bsme him will, fear, be
to throw hot eshes to wndward. And yet must say
that he occasionally hls into the travellers besettiug
,ir-mplypg if not directly Stating that this or the
other bad thing is peculiarly different from some rsd
caly like thirgat home. Crossing the river on leaving
Kbsroun, he writes "a type of tho place was fur
"nished us while making our wsy to Om1Hrman. |
ave passed the body of a woman who had been |
u.tr. clad and tbvox into he oh
"the natives regarded without the least surprise
Whore is the peculiarly Khartesian type Is it the
dead body, or the lack of Da,ive surprise All, my
hopored guide, had yen but stayed in refined New
York this Winter instead Of wadng through Lapland
drhs, you would know how much too black in com! |
PARTON you have cO'ored the and customs of
that barbarous Egyptian fix. Type of the place
Why, it is but three weeks ago that the body ola
man who had been srangled fouDd in Swedish |
big in the East River and about the time the
body of a murdered infant in Of the docks during
he recert cold weather two babies lst doOrsteps
and the bodies of three or four frozen more or
ess TO death, found lying ont in different parts
Of the cty-all of which sights the natives have taken
with all the GOODNESS and none Of the religion OF fatal
sm. Ore or two NewYmk types are nightly Knocked |
INTO p strangled and robbed But / hear little ex- |
precision Of .uprse from the natives, and still less Jm
The foreign polce-~hose motto seems to, be M GGS':-
rdri Nothing has more surprised the natives ths
Winter than the prompt u'tice dealt out to two only
of the Villains with which the city abounds.
On the criminal eide nothing short of the murder OF
a man Of marx with extraordinary attendant cTcum-
Stances is enough to sarle for day or two And
in this affair where would foreigner-say an lnteh-
GENT traveller from KhartOum-look for the New-York
TYNE? Would he not naturally enough consider the
officer who conducted the Investigation OF the crime,
seeing that such cer is of our normal institutions
and is elected for bis place by the people Of New
York, as "atype of the p,ace1" And what, then,
would be the type qualities of NewYork adminisTa-
ton of criminal sstlce according TO the Khartesian
theory They would be witless levity ard foresone
conclusions, lubricity and brutality. Walah!
