4 MURDER NAP.

The New York World publishes a map
of that city. showing the localities of the
seventy-seven last murders committed, up
to the date Of the map. Since then, there
have been half dozen more. The local
ity Of each murder is deaignated by rep
rescntation of the weapon employed, by
which the reader is enabled, at glance,
to tell whether the victim was pistolled,
revolvered, dirsed, knitted, axed, razored,
slung-shotted, bayoneted, bowie-knifed,
c1ubbed, dog'd, flat-ironed, hammered,
pokercd, poisoned, or otherwise killed.
This record does not include the many
cases of found drowned and other deaths,
the myatery of which has mover been pene-
trated
For these seventy-eight murders, there
bave been but very few executions. The
re,roirators, in the main, have either es-
capped justice altogether, or have been pun
shed only by Imprisonment. They are a
tt1r7ble commentary upon the inadeqnscy
Of the New York police and judiciary sys-
TENS. 1t should be remembered, however,
that that city is the grand rendezvous of the
criminals of thia country and Of Europe.
The regiatty and passport system Of the
continensreudersis difficult for professional
criminals to remain in any p1a-o any length
| of time, unknown 10 the police and when
thera 10 great crime committed, it is Diff
cult for them to escape But every steam-
| or, and ahlp, and train, that enters Now
York city may bear it's freight of criminals,
and they may remain in that city with
more secrecy than they could in less
populous p1aces- Nevertheless, it is sur
| prisinC that many of the boldest of these
murders have never been unveiled Many
of these murders have passed into romance.
New Yorkers tell the story Of Helen Jewett
with freshness which thirty-dve years has
not lessened. The Burdell, Rogers, and
Nathan murders have been virtually for
gotten as matters for Investigation, and
are now talked Of only as mysterios.
There will be, it is to be hoped, change
take place, in time, in the city OF New York.
Public sentiment needs to be reformed,
When the lime comes that political parties
will find it to ba to their interest to hold
criminals In e1eration, and to administer
Justice fearlessly, much will be done to
suppress crime No criminal now feais
tho law in that city, because il Ii that class
who elect the officers OF justice, They con-
trol MI elections, and they control the party
in power. There are few Judges who
make an effort to perform their duty, bat
what they lack II a strong public support
A court undertaking to punish criminals
who invoke to their aid political majority

WILHELMSHOEHE.
NapoIeon's New Home.

The Castle of Wilhelmshoehe near Cassel in the
former Electorate of Hessen, is one of the finest
the Elector William at cost OF fourteen millions
OF thalers, which he received from England for the
thousands and thousands OF his subjects that were
sent by EBgland to fight against her then colonies
in North America. Elector William died here, but
very few OF his successors had the same fate His
son and heir was driven away from Cassel by Napo-
leon who appointed Cassel the capital of the West
phalian Kingdom, which he gave to his younger
brother Jerome Napoleon, father OF the Prince Ma
poleon and Princess Mathilde.
During the reign Of King Jerome the Wilhelms-
hoehe saw such shameful orgies going on that they
cannot be described. King Jerome OF Westphalia is
the same known in America in connection with the
Patterson affair. When in 1918 the Westphallan
kingdom crumbled down in consequence of the Ger
uprising, King jerome was one OF the first that
reached and crossed the Rhine and made room for
the grandson OF Eector William This grandson
was left in peace until he died. but his was COM
pelled to leave his country in ls4s, and once more
In 1866
1t was in the large round saloon in the middle
tower of the Wilhelmshoehe, which will be remem-
bered by many OF our readers, that the Prussian
General Roeder announced to the Elector that he
would be considered as prisoner OF state by
Prussia. The present Elector living actually on one
OF his estates In Bohemia, refused to allow himself
OF the few hours respite The Prussian General had
granted him, and was subsequently taken prisoner
to repair to Bohemia, where he possesses large
estates, iron works, etc.
Having shortly sKetched the history OF Wihelms-
hoehe, now proceed to give little description OF
the place ITSELF 1t is situated on the top of hill,
commanding beautiful view of the country ali
round. The hill is covered with splendid old trees
which make the forest one of the finest parks in
Europe. We can only compare 1t with the Park OF
Versailles, with which n has another thing IN COM
mon viz, beautiful waterworks. The castle is at
distance of about three miles from Cassel, the
former capital OF the Electorate The road from
Cassel to this castle is level and leads through
magnificent poplar alleys.
Shortly after arriving at the castle these poplars
ascend hill, and from the brow of this hill VIII
hemshoehe can be seen at a short dstence. 1t is
built up OF white sandstone which makes it look
II it were white marble. 1t consists of large tower
in fha mid nv mas va
plain building The cupola OF the tower, covered
with bright copper plates, is supported by two
ranges of Doric columns. RighC at the foot Of the
tower large flight of steps leads directly into the
garden laid out in the most picturesque manner.
This palace has not been used since 1856, as the
Prussan Government allowed only one old servant
to remain there and keep everything in order.

City Affairs.

The elegant new synagogue of the Ger
man Hebrew Congregation, ''Rodef Shalom"
(the way of peace), was consecrated yester-
day afternoon. The services were of an in
teresting character
An anti-coolie meeting was held last
evening, at the corner of Eighth and But
tonwood streets, at which John X. Zeilin,
Oliver p. Cornman, j. w. Burns, and others
made speeches,
Henry OrNsill, who resides on Almendo
street, near Lehigh avenue, died at the Epis-
copal Hospital on Thursday night. He
was admitted into the hospital on the 7th
instant in an insensible condition; the per-
sons who carried him there say that he had
been licked by horse. His skull was found
TO be fractured, and there were several
bruises on the body. The Coroner is inves-
tigating the affair.
The Coroner was notified last evening to
hold an inquest at the northeast corner of
Mascher and Thompson streets, on the body
of Mrs. Frances Meyers, aged 81 years, who
was run over by butcher wagon at Howard
and Thompson streets, and was so badly in
jured that she died soon after.
Yesterday afternoon, as Mrs. Allen,
residing at the corner of Sixth and
Catharine streets, was crossing the street,
near her residence, she was knocked down
and run over by barouche which was being
driven rapidly along, and was much hurt.
Mayor Fox stated yesterday that In

MR.. GREELEY'.S TROUT.
An Instructive Fish Story.


The Boston Post audaciously, Indignantly,
and diabolically (we speak the speech of II.
G. charges Mr., Greeley with having ished
in the troubled waters of the Adirondacks
caught large trout, lost his leader in trying
to reel the trout in, and, finally, with
having been compelled to choose between
letting the trout go or going overheard him
self into the lake. Mr.. Greeley, with ALL
and, indeed, more than all, the emphasis of
injured innocence, denies the charge; de-
clares that he never fished for trout; that
he never lost his leader in reeling the trout
in, because he didn't use a reel at all in fish
ing for the trout which he didn't fish for;
and denounces the author of the infamous
fabrication as a ''poor silly coward" who
thinks SO contemplate a story deserves to
be ''treated with gravity" All of which is
sweetly consistent and characteristics and
receives our most hearty appreciation. But
the truth is that the Post was only
reciting a parable. The trout which
Horace Greeley tished for and didn't get in
was not fshed for in the Adirondacks, but at
Saratoga. The leader which he lost in trying
TO reel his trout in was made OF brass, and is
known by fishers of men AS a Conkling; and
that Mr.. Greeley was eventually compelled to
choose between losing his trout or taking a
souse in the waves himself clearly appears
from his final endorsement of one Mr.. Wood
fold, who reeled in the fish. Since Jonah

WH1sKEY SElzURE-Cameron distillery,
buildings, land, machinery and 40 barrels Of
whiskey, the whole valued at $35, 900, were
seized yesterday morning by U. 8. Collector F.
f. White, for alleged violation of the Internal
Revenue laws. An investigation will be held
on Saturday next before u. s. Commissioner
Charles Whittlesey. The distillery is survey
ed aud has heretofore been worked in accor-
dance with the 4S hours regulation, and the late
alleged violation is said to have consisted in
working surrepttious|y beyond that time, and
during the absence Of the u. s. storekeeper
MIR. Peter Fegan. the proprietor OF the Ilstil.
lery, disclaims any willIul intention of defraud
ing the Government, and says that the extra
hour work was done by his listilIer, new
employee, for the purpose OF trying an expert
men'. and, besides, was done when he was ab,
sent in Washington.
