RoEBUCK ON DEPoRTMENT.

From the ". y. World.
Our good friend Mr.. Roebuck has laid man
kind under fresh obligation by furnishing q
very good definition of the meaning of the
much-abused word gentleman. ga gentle
man, said Mr.. Roebuck, addressing himself
to the members of the Dewsbury Mechanics
Institute, ''means man of gentle manners,
man of enlarged knowledge a man who
does to his neighbor what he wishes his
neighbor to do to himself, who is kind and
gentle in all his intercourse with the rest of
the world, and who sinks himself when he
has to consider the benefit of the community"
This being Mr.. Roebuck's ideal of a gentle
man, he wanted to know why the working
men of England could not be educated or edu-
cate themselves into being gentlemen. In
his opinion it was not the wealth of the upper
classes that made them happy and pleasant
among themselves-it was their imam
ners; and he could not see why the work
ing-man could not teach themselves equally
good manners" ''Why should the
man, asked he, ''who makes G2OO or e3OO q
year by mechanical labor be rude, coarse,
and brutal fellow" When Mr.. .Roebuck goes
home, he finds, said he, "a cheerful wife, an
educated and an elegant woman" and
daughter who inherited all the charms of her
mother; and ''why." asked he of his auditors,
'should not your house be like my house, and
your daughter and wife be like mine?" We
are sure we do not know why not, save that
1t is very difficult to cultivate all the cardinal
virtues on G200 year, and that when poverty
pinches sorely, and husband, wife, and daugh-
ter are compelled to toll all day long in a
sweltering mill or a stuffy shop, and meet at
night so wearied that they have spirit for
nothing but swallowing their scanty meal and
fastening to seek in slunber their necessary
rest, there is little opportunity for the prac-
tice of department" or elegant conversation
concerning Shakespeare and the musical
glasses. AS many gentlemen" IN Mr.. Roe
bucks definition of the word, can be found
among the working people as among those
who able to take life easier; but it is rather
too much to ask of them to make their homes
like Mr.. Roebuck's.

reside in this Territory" Ohinaman, bear
ing the euphonious name Of All Bow, there
upon appledto the United States Court for an
injunction to restrain Sheriff from collecting
this tax. The Judge, who bore the equally
euphonious name of Noggles, refused the
injunction on some technical ground. But
he took occasion to express an opinion on
the law in question and all laws of a similar
character This circumstance very clearly
indicates what their fate must be when
brought before the national tribunals. The
Judge further traced them to the influence of
California legislation, and did not hesitate to
declare that they were the product of ''hos-
tility to the Chinese, and he expressed de-
termination to Danish them from the country.
He also described them as infamous laws, ="
and due to an effort to ''gratify the low pre-
iudice of narrow-minded, illiberal, self-con-
ceited demagogues He showed that our
Government has in many ways endeavored to
maintain friendly relations with China, and
that these statutes are inconsistent with such
relations, and with all the enactments which
invite foreigners to come to this country as
"a country of equality, justice, and human
ity." And, speaking of the Burlingame
treaty, he added that ''when this treaty has
been proclaimed, and has become binding
upon this Government, of course the present
infamous laws will be superseded thereby"
he declared that the Burlingame treaty must
override any State law which is in conflict
with it. The Constitution declares that such
treaties shall be ''the supreme law of the
land" and this provision has been expressly
decided by the Supreme Court to be binding
upon State Courts and Legislatures. He
uttered very good sense also when, having
quoted from a speech of one of the highest
officials in California the statement that the
Chinese were ''the most frugal, industrious,
and ingenious people on the face of the
earth, " and that they we're ''an injury to the
State, and he would unite with any party
that would use energetic means to keep them
out of the country" he characterizes the
speech as ''the same old fogy argument for
merly used to prevent the building of rail-
roads, threshing machines, and reapers.
1t is clearly advantageous to the whole
country that such questions as this be passed
upon by courts which, though by no means
insensible to local feelings, or even preju-
dices, are yet lifted up to higher plane,
where they are exposed to better influences,
and are by their own constitution called upon
to look upon such controversies from a ma
tional instead of local point of view.

A DEAD MANS HEAD.

From the NJ Y HOrld.
The ruthless determination of the law (or,
rather, lawyers) to ''fnd victim" was never,
it would seem, more singularly illustrated
than during the late trial, in Rockland county,
of Antoine Maurer, the Alsatian, for the
murder of Joachim Fuerter. The circum-
stantial evidence adduced against the accused
and now condemned Maurer was amply suffi-
cient to Justify the most searching trial. But
it was not strong enough, in the opinion of
the District Attorney, to warrant conviction;
otherwise, that legal luminary could scarcely
have summoned the extraordinary witness
which he did summon to confront tho pri-
soner. This witness was the murdered mans
head!
Without the fairness to bring it into court
where the hapless Alsatians horror at the
sight of it would very likely have been SO
simulated by the horror expressed on the
visages of the other spectators that an inteli-
gent jury must have been puzzled to distin-
guish between the conscious gilt of Maurer
and the shuddering innocence of Maurer's
llow-beings-the District Attorney, it is
said, had the head itself preserved in o can, !"
in readiness to be popped out, like hideous
toy-ghoul from box, before the eyes of the
victim in his prison solitude. When Maurer
went to wash his hands, he found the head
staring up at him from the bottom of the
wash-pail. When he sat in the hall, outside
his cell, gazing at vacancy, a theatrical hand
lifted the blanket from the hall table and re-
vealed the head. The head glared at him in
his waking moments at dead Of night, and so
frightened and haunted the poor wretch that
it is surely no wonder that he was at last
driven half insane. Then statements-wan-
dering contradictory, and improbable which
can hardly be called confessions, were
wrung from him. These evidently helped to
procure his conviction and his sentence to
death.
Should this horrible story be substantiated
by an official investigation, public sentiment
would justify the Governor in so postponing
the execution of the sentence as to enable
the friends of Antoine Maurer to procure for
him another trial. Justice cannot have been
conserved by any such device for extracting
confession of guilt OF guilty participation,
from a man on his trial for murder. The
inquisition, with its appliances of the rack,
gouges, and hot irons, was supposed to be,
even in theory, an extinct institutions yet
here, within an hours ride of the city of
New York, is reported to flourish limb OF
the law who has it somehow in his power tc
establish a death's-head inquisition of his
own against a prisoner for the purpose OF
procuring the latter to be hung.

THE BURLINGAME TREATY AND ANTI.
CHINESE LAW
From the n. Y. Times.

From the N Y. Times
The ratification of the Burlingame treaty
with China will have an important effect
upon our commerce with that nation, and
upon our own laws and customs in those parts
OF our country into which the Cinnamon have
made their way They have made their en-
trance in spite of the hostility of the whites
q hostility which has shown itself not only in
cruel treatment of individuals, but in oppres-
sive laws, directed against the whole race
Those laws, however, have been the work of
State legislation. 1t is to this treaty, made
by the nation, and TO the national legislature
and to the national courts, that those who
are unjustly affected by those statuets will
look for protection.
matter of this kind was recently brought
before United States District Court, in the
Territory of Idaho. The Legislature of that
Territory, following the lead Of some of her
older sisters in her prejudices against the
Chinese' had passed a law declaring that no
Chinaman should work at mining in the Ter
ntory without license, which would cost him
20 months and furthermore, that ''all Mon
goiians, whether male or female, and of what
ever occupation, residing in the mining dis

NAPOLEON AND ROCHEFORT.
From the N. Y. Herald.

From the N. Y. Herald.
NJ. Henri Rochefort, editor of Paris jour-
nal named LGalterHe--an excellent specimen
of the lucuS non LUceHdO in transatlantic
iournalism-has completely failed in his en-
deavors to rank as French political martyr.
Napoleon has extinguished him, in his own
peculiar style, and in a manner just suited to
the case of Rochefort The pen-and-ink
parodist of revolution, who has been for some
time past in exile in Belgium, set out from
Brussels the other day for France. On reach
ing the frontier he was arrested by the police.
This was perfect "Godsend" to Rochefort,
who Immediately commenced to sing in an
tlcipation, like Quarter Latin flea, when,
behold, the Emperor comes out on him with a
coup d'etdt in the shape of telegram direct
ing his release and accompanied by q ''safe
conduct" paper, endorsed by the imperial
sign manual, under which he journeyed to
Paris, where he has been nominated for the
Legislature and serenaded by his friends
without any interference on the part of the
police.
People have been accustomed to read and
speak good deal of the Malakoff and Ma
genta and Solferino, the assault on the tower
of the Russian stronghold demonstrating that
no impediment is too high or difficult for the
military genius of France when inspired by a
Bonaparte, while the attack-for it is an
attack when applied to such man-on Roche
fort proves that no event can be so trihing
or Insignificant as to escape the careful atten-
tion of Napoleon the Third in the pursuance
OF ~his vast and peculiar system of rule.

agitator and his associates in Dublin, some
