HOW BOYS AND GIRLs COMMIT CRIME.
Twenty-eight prisoners, chiefly boys nndeF SIX
teen years Of age, were arraigned in Paris on the
23th ult., on a charge Of attering base coin. The
scene in court is thus described
g This crowd Of culpriss was guarded by
great crowd Of gendarmes, and as they stood
thus all hustled together, pressing against eaeh
other with involuntary familiarity, the group pre-
sented picture and we ask oGrselFeB-H such
be the green bud Of vice in the nineteenth cen
tury, what must he the fruit when arrived 81 me
fullness Of rnaturity2' The wholesome refaIndee
one rather of distribution Of prizes at village
school than the serious trial Of set of cTifainals
accused Of a crime elassed among the greatest in
any country, and which, until lately, was pun
ished with death, and even now By the gaheys for
Tn details of the trial revealed some interesting
but melancholy facts. Bat one ofthe gang of cul-
prits admitted the possession Of any means Of
livelihood, aud be was the chief. He sold refresh
ments at the BelleYlIe theater, and made his
place arendezvous for all the thieves. He was in
the habit of going round with a basket contain
ing oranges, barley sugar and cFoquettes, accord
ing to the custom of French theaters--tt1e mem
bers of the gang calling him from different partg
of the house under prstence Of purchasing his re-
freshments and thus the transactions Of the day
we're summed up and registered. The trial Of the
band viii remain among the causes eeteorts on &C.
count of the perfect confidence with which the
whole drama was enacted, and the ease with which
I depredatons TO the amount of 40,00Of. had beez
carried On by an association consisting entirety ol
I boys.
I One or two were artists in their way. To the
mosts skillfu were allotted the pieces Of the reigz

were considered beda1 esprits. and although moi
knowing how to read or write, their reputation

trial. One of them, pridng himself on his eI0.
quence, entertained the auditors with an account
of their manner of life, and by bis dramatic ges
ture and deep-toned accents created laughter and
tears by turns. a girl called Red.haired 10.

The Democratic Party.

Under this name we hold to be embraced
that entire body of men who unite In sup
porting the Constitution, maintaining the
laws, maintaining the States, and maintain
ing the citizens in all their rights. They
are pursuing these great ends by the law
full means of the Constitution, by their
united votes and by their resolute and de-
termined union. Let lit be understood now
and for the future, that they quail not,
they swerve not, and they relax not in
their efforts. They are now, as they have
been, for the Union of all the States and the
equal rights of all the States and all the
people, Above all they are for peace and
the prosperity that follows peace. For the
sake of this and the prevention of anarchy
they have foreborne resistance to laWless
wrong, hoping better end They will
continue to do so while hope is reasonable
and tolerance justifiable. But let it not be
thought that this will be so in every ex-
tremity. They will suffer while evils are
sufferable, but not a jot further. The lao-
t,A acts of majority will be respected and
obeyed The usurpation acts of majority
will be disregarded, and the first sign of
lawess violence will meet its proper and
merited rebuke. And considering the
small disparity in numbers between ma
jority and minority now, the lawless spirit
may well take heed, and practice salutary
observation-disclosures Union. '-Il '.''"

lican policy Of the Destructives was
sought to be fastened on Tennessee bya
Legislature representing very small
minority Of the people, he promptly
protested against Its wisdom or justice.
Failing to secure hearing for his protest,
he united with Others in resigning their
seats in that body for the purpose of break!
ing up a Quorum as the only means Of pre-
venting the adoption of measures Of ex-
treme legislation. At the special election
to fill the vacancy which was created by
his resignation, his constituents by an al
most unanimous vote, reelected him as
their representative. AT his death, notwith-
standing the great diversity existing be-
tween his views and those of the majority
Of the Legislature, his patriotism was so
widely understood that even his opponents
could not safely refuse the adoption of
those tokens of respect for his memory
which were so richly his due. ..fis 'i'

The Brain I'm sIeeD.

The principal evidence as to the state Of
the human brain in sleep is derived from
the observation Of a woman in MONTPELIER
"a case well known and often quoted. She
had lost portion of her Skull cap, and the
brain aud its membranes were EXPOSED,
When she was in deep or sound sleep fhe
brain lay in the skull almost motionless
when she was dreaming it became elevated,
and when her dreams, which she related on
waking, were vivid OF, Interesting, the
brain was protruded through the cranial
aperture. This condition has also been exL
perimentally brought about and Observed
mammals, and the same result has been
seen, namely, that in sleep the surface Of
the brain and its membranes became pale,
the veins oeasedito bedisteftded, ana only
a fewiSsmall vessels containing artsrial
sblood,were discernable. .,9s,,'''-o,, 4,

The Den q th ot enc Tycoon OF .Iapan

We learn from a dispatch by the Atlantic
Cable that the war in Japan is ended, and
that the report of the death Of the Tycoon
is confirmed The war arose from the re-
volt of one of the numerous hereditary
princes or chieftans-twO hundred in mum
Der, it is id-among whom the Japanese
empire is divided. OF these princes the
Tycoon is the chief but they are all subject
to the authority of the Mikado, or supreme
ruler of Japan, who is the spiritual leader
OF the empire. Until within a late, period
it was believed that the Tycoon was the
temporal head of the empire, who carried
on the governmentin the name of the Mi
kado but more accurate knowledge of his
Office and rank has recently been obtained,
from which it appears that he is but the
first of the hereditary princes. As such,
however, he enjoys very considerable pow
ers, and Is generalissimo of the imperial
army. The name of the late Tycoon was

A correspondent Of the HarttorS, I ress
II Next toitbe political contest, the topic of
conversation in our newspaper offices is
the removal or resignation of d. H. Craig,
/ from the management of the Associated
Press. The Associated Press, your readers
will understand, is controlled exclusively
by the New York papers and the news is
sold by them TO other Journals, through the
country. There are, some interesting in
cidents connected with its origin Long
years ago, before the days of telegraphy,
the Sun and Herald Were the two great
competing papers, in the metropolis, The
Sun was started by one Mr.. Day, and soon
fell into the hands of Moses Y. Beach, who
now livesin wealthy retirement6 WalIing-
ford iOt.b Mr.. Beach sexhibibed great en-
terprise In the management OF the, Sun,
procuring, among other newspaper ,facili-
ties, flock of carrier pigeons, trained in
England. By the aid Of these pigeons Mr..
Beach was enabled to oltstrip all compet-
itors, and to astonish the public. They at
first were kept at Sandy Hook, Halifax,
and the points on the coast to bring the
foreign news to New York. For example,
man in small yawl, would intercept a
vessel few miles out, from Halifax, and
having obtained the news, would write it
out and free q pigeon, which would bring
1t hither.a In time these pigeons were also
stationed at Boston, Philadelphia Bal
timore and Washington. r. By publishing a
speech of Daniel Webster few hours after
its delivery at Boston, the Stlh made "a
Worldwide reputation for itself and in
creased itseireulation four fold. The Mex
ican war opened up a new, field of enter
prise for Mr.. Beach. There was a strip of
territory, sixty miles Vide, at the West,
t0Vet which the Government kept up com
-Imunieati0n but tbncei a month. Aftenthe
conflict began, Moses Y, Beach, dispatched
two of his sons to this remote region, who
purchased some mules, and established, Sc
cretly and quietly, a privates express of
their own. Time alter time, the Sun con-
tanned news of Scott's victorious progress,
when The iGosernmentSa other pabers
had not received line from, our absent
legions, The Administration thanked Mr..
Beach In the Warmest manner for the news
thus obtained. Hisieo1npetItors at length,
