THE THIMBLE. GAME IN BERLIS.-This
morning, man named NJ. Fl. McElhany,
from Berlin, came to City Marshal Chopper
with pitiful story about the thieves, pick
pockets and thimble-riggers who operated
with Van Amburgh's caravan in Berlin on
Monday. He said She lost $50 on the Thin
bic game and he wanted to find the fellow
who got his money" Mr.. Chopper sent him
to Officer Severance, in Davenport, with di-
rections how to proceedsto catch the fellow
or his partners. 1t seems to us that any
man who will bet cent on any game played
by the side-showmen and thieves who hang
around caravan ought to suffer little fol-
his stupidity.

GIpsIEs, BURGLARS, ETcErERA.--Last ey-s
ening, about 10 O'Clock, a man met Police
man McConehie near Alderman Fries liquor
store, aud said: "Hello, Bob, how are you
How are you getting along?' McConchie
said, every we'll" He then asked McCon-
chic where he had been keeping himself
lately, and if there were any of the'"boys
around, and if there was any "sight" to do
anything, as she 1wass 'sstrapped.y sMcCon.
chic encouraged him and pumped cut of
him that he was engaged as a burglar in
st. Louis lately, where he got $1,000, but
the money was divided up among his part
ners and he was now compelled to snake
another haul" McConchie wanted to know
if heshad any "sighta here's and be said the
only sight" he knew was to gag the private
Waterman at the bank, tie him to lamp
post, and rob the vault ; that he was good at
opening locks, and could go through any
lock hesever saw. After considerable more
foolish talk of this sort McConchie proposed
to 90 where he could ''make raise" and
they "dlhCu oo"h " VIC Jdii "Htic Ht Was
locked up. He seemed to know localities
we'll, and even knew the name of the bank
watchman-but the idea of tying him to a
lamp post where everybody could see him
was so absurd that it showed he was foolish
or crazy.
This morning he was brought before Esq.
Connolly and fined S. and costs for being
drunk. His name appeared to be Henry o.
Dey. He has scar on his head which he
said was made by a shell, in battle, and that
when under the influence of liquor he does
| not know what he is doing.

FINE ARTS.

The Catholic Publication Society in Nassau
st. has recently received dozen 80 OF the fine ehromo
Autographs Of the works Of the early Italian artists
which the Arundel Society of London has for the last
twenty years presented to its subscribers These
Autographs have become of late almost inaccess
bic and yet the demand for em instead Of diminishing,
increases with the increasing study of the period Of Art
which they so beautifully illustrate. The histories OF
Italian Art by Kigler 1rst and later by Grove and

"By the weakness or the wickedness OF
Congress, the Treasury, burdened with Q
debt rapidly rising to three thousand mil
lion, loses, by a reduction of more than one
half Of the Income Tax, and the refusal to
reduce the tax on whisky, more than fifty
millions year; Congress, on its own Volt
tion and for its ownbase and selfish purposes
adds an hundred millions to the public
debt by the passage ofa gratuitous Bounty
Law. Our soldiers, literally rewarded In
bountics and pay, did not expect, nor until
prompted, ask for additional bounties. The
measure was instigated by Bounty agents
at Washington, and passed to bait the
hooks of Presidential candidates. The vast
sums now being drawn from the Treasury
under this gratuitous Bounty Law, goes
largely into the pockets of Bounty agents,
brokers, and jumpers. 1t will lead TO the
same frauds and corruptions that demoral-
lied and disgraced the country when, dur
ing the war, there was not time to guard
against them. We learn from reliable
source, that while the bounty tiood-gate.

The Law of Libel.

An interesting decision has been rendered
in New York court which may be profita-
bly, considered by parties who have vague
notions about suing newspapers for libel.
The action was for an alleged libel publish
ed In the New York Herald, contained in a
letter ffom the widow of Colonel Kimball.
The complaint alleges that the publication
refers TO the plaintiff, and that he is there
by charged with having under his patron
age or protection public prostitute; that
it is false, malicious and intends to injure
his reputation and expose him to public
hatred and contempt.
The court decided that the Objectionable
words were actionable, or otherwise accor-
ding to the manner in which it was intend
ed they should be understood, and malice
must be alleged and proved, that ther,
must be a concurrence of a malicious intent
and injurious tendency. 1t was the office
of the pleading to characterize the intent
so that the defendant might take issue upor
it. Had it been alleged by tile complaint
that the intent of the publication was tC
charge the plaintiff with keeping prosti-
tute for Illicit purposes, the defendant NIGH
by denial have raised an issue properly
TO be tried by the jury. Some such inter
pretation must be put upon the words be-
fore they become libelous, and it is the
Office of the complaint 10 do so in cas-,
where the words have an ambiguous sense
The complaint was dismissed.

The New York journal ~ Commerce is
showing how governing the South, by mill
itary power, is impoverishing the North
We quote:
millions of dollars are needed at the
South to-day for the bare support Of life.
We are organizing Southern Relief SoCie-
ties--nOble charities--and they save thou
sands from starvation; but Is it to be al
ways SOP Are we to go on year after year
making contributions TO the poverty of the
South? When is il to end, and when Will
they take care of themselves?
THE answer Is clear as sunlight, never
till you let them take care of themselves.
1t Is hopeless to expect any end of South
erf dependence on Northern charity, until
the North takes of the heavy hand of mili-
tary government. To him who has not
studied the first element of political econ
omy, let us explain simply this, that capital
win not move in the South; money will
not 90 into agriculture, credit will not re-
vive between man and man until the end
of military law. Take n man In Georgia
who has u hundred dollars to spare to-day
lie has no confidence in lending it To
another man, for he has no conception by
what law Georgia will be governed by
next month. lie only knows that there is
no such idea left as that he was born under,
namely, that the people of Georgia make
their own laws and govern themselves in
all local matters. No one Is willing to lend
money in country where there is no
written law. SO long rs the present state
of things continues in the South, therefore,
there can be no credit, no movement Ofcap-
ital in small or large sums.
