&zg> An example of ingenious thieving is
given by the London Daily Ne,oS: One evening
Detective Urben and Police Constable Smith
saw two respectfully dressed women lettering
on Westbourne Grove. They were soon Joined
by a gray-hairel gentleman, who carried a
great coat on his arm. In few minutes he
left them, and returned wearing the coat. The
three sauntered along till they came to con-
siderable group of ladies who were around the
window of print-shop. The police went into
an opposite shop and watched. Presently the
man came out of the group and stood where he
could command view of the street. After
while one of the women joined him and
handed him something, which he put in an in
ner pocket of the great coat She then return
ed to her female companion, and the TIVE
placed themselves one ON each side of a lady
who was looking in at the print-shop window.
In IL few minutes one of them came out to the
man and again handed him something, very
much like purse, which he put in his pocket.
Tho policeman followed the lady, ascertained
that her purse was gone, and then, with the
detective, arrested the women and their COM
panion. Two purses were found upon him
they were all three proved to be old offenders,
and were sent off for seven years. penal servi-

THE DEMOCRACY The Democratic Executive
Committee of Baltimore county met at Towson-
town, in the grand jury room, on Tuesday, lst
instant, and arranged the work for calling pri-
mary meetings and convention to nominate the
candidates for the fall campaign. We believe
they recommend that TWO separate sets of dele
gates be elected to compose two conventions
The first is to nominate county officers and meets
at Towsontown on September 9Th. The second
is to nominate State Senator and six delegates
to the lower House Of the Legislature, and meets
at Towsontown on 18th of September The pri-
mary meetings are to be held on Friday and Sat
urday, the LIST and I'd of September. The polls
are to be open between the hours of and Z
o'clock p. m, of each day. The committee is to
appoint three judges TO conduct the primary
meetings and they TO appoint two clerks to
assist in the work. The delegates are to vote
UiUa Uoce for the gentlemen who are before the
conventions for nomination.

The INDANs.-The Census reports show, that
in the United States, including all the terrific.
ries the population numbers as follows -
White SO, 5Sl, $50; colored, 1870, 1926; Indian,
rs, 1873; Chinese, GO, 1916; total So, 549, $751;
The number of the Indians is lamentable COM
mentary on the history of that race of people iu
their native land. When Columbus discovered
America and, later, when the country began to
be settled by Spaniards and Englishmen, the In
dian race was very numerous and exercised I'M
disputed sway over the country from one ocean
to the other. Now they have faded. Their race
has become almost extinct. Then their great
warriors sounded their war "whoops' in the
wilderness where it reached the ear of no white
man. One by one they fell by the hand of the
white men, one by one their tribes have become
extinct, until scarce a trace of them is left this
side of the Mississippi. Their roaming grounds
are curtailed to few localities of small area
west of the Mississippi and the Rocky Mountains.
President Grant is doing what he can to have
those that remain properly treated. Consider
able progress is being made, but it is difficult
matter to manage.

THE MonMnN On

THE MORMON CHURCH AND THE SILVER MINES.
brigham Young has always preached against
mining, and forbidden his subjects to have any
thing to do with mines. Since the Gentiles
have developed the mineral resources of Utah,
Young, with all his host of priests, bishops and
prophets are scramblng Nr the filthy lucre
with as much eagerness as any GENTLE in the
Territory. The COrinne Reporter Church or
gam, says
The devil has opened the mines at last, and
the Church having neither time nor patience
to bother with eternal things, has turned loose
and gone in, with its sacred sleeves rolled up,
to run in the race with Satan and the wicked.
President, bishops, priests and people are all
tumbling head first into the vortex of sin, the
old and new movements are trampled under
foot, while the devil and his ores are ahead.

WHAT is ORTHODOX DEMOCRACY 1T seems
the Louisville Courier Journal has fallen foul
of the Mobile Register. The latter resents its
dogmatism in the following fashion:
"Meantine we advise it that the Register
does not accept its reading of it out of the Dem
ocratic party, "departure'' or no departure. y
But the Register confidently expects to see the
'New Departure" read out of the National
Democratic Convention. May we hope that
the Artful Dodger, the Courier Journal will
not follow its pet dodge out of the window p
Its democracy is not trusted worth "a pipefull
of Kentucky tobacco in its own State Has il
loyalty enough to go round the whole National

DEATH OF THE DOUBLE BABY-ONE HEAD Our
LIVES THE oTHER.-The Boston Post of July 10
says We mentioned in our columns, yester-
day, the presence in Boston of most remarka
BILE child the offspring of Joseph and Ann E
Finley 1t is presented the remarkable as well
unprecedented phenomenon of two heads, four
arms, and two legs, and all upon single body
The girl-lor such was its sex--died last even
ing at No. Bowdoin street. The first half oil
head breathed its lastat 5, and the second short
ly after o'clock. The many thousands in the
Western or Middle States who have seen this
marvellous ecccntricty of nature, will learn its
early death with regret.
The child--or children as it would almost
seem proper to allude to the phenomenon
had enjoyed excellent health from her BIRTH
nine months ago, until within two weeks, at
which time one exhibited signs of Illness
This, however, was but temporary. 1t recover
ed and was bright and playful. Since reach
ing Boston, q few days since, the other-or the
other half-was taken sick and died yesterday
afternoon, already stated. The two por-
tions of the body were so intimately connected
that the death Of one rendered that of the 9TH
inc vitable.
The spectacle was equally novel, strange,
and unparalleled. Upon one end Of the body re-
posed the head of the dead infant; upon the
other that of the live one with its eyes still
bright and curious, and its lungs in full breathing
,
was done, but it was found unavailiDg. The
child died in the presence of its parents. The
corpse presents the appearance of two infants
asleep. Apparently they escaped the ordina-
ry suffering incident to death, for the coun-
tenances had the expression of repose.
The disposition of the body is not determined
upon. Several four physicians were DESTROYS,
last evening, of having ;topened for examine
ton. TITS doubtful ifthe parents consent. They
reside in Monroe county, Ohio, and live upon
farm. They have other children, but none
have exhibited any unusual developments
Nor can this extraordinary departure from the
laws of nature be accounted for. In Philadel-
phia, where all the medical Solons undertook
to solve the problem, nothing whatever was
brought to light. The child was looked upon
with amazement and interest, but all attempts
to account for its existence were futile 1t is
regarded as more of curiosity than the Sia-
mese twins, and most certainly the spectacle
was more pleasurablo to the eye. The child
was shortly to have been exhibited to the pub
lie and would doubtless here, as elsewhere,
have attracted throngs of visitors. The pa
rents were especially devoted to the little mar
vel, and their sorrow is grievous.

Foolish TALK.-The Denton Journal, Demo
cratic organ, says that the recent amendments to
the Constitution constitute "no part or parcel Of
the campaign" II thea asks has not the State
given her 'oicial protest against their adoption,
and has not that protest been approved by her
people ?" Then this is the position of the Caroline
county Democracy. They don'tpropose to move
They remind us Of the fellow who exclaimed
when asked to DO certain thing and refused,
81 am sot, and when am sot meeting house
amt softer " This is the way with the Democ'
racy, not only of Caroline county, but of the
State The Democracy of Maryland in 1868 re-
jected the Fifteenth Amendment TO the Constitu-
ton of the United States by the Legislature. II
came to the conclusion that it was right then
and that it is right now. Its adhesion to what
it believed then is not half SO strange as many
other things. The Democratic party claimed
that secession was right at the beginning of the
war The blind adherents of ''the lost cause
claim that it is not yet lost. They said that the
South would never surrender. BUTT did. They
said the war was "a failure" 1t was on the
part of JEFF. Davis and his crew.

The MURDEREss. Cady Stanton and Mrs
Susan B. Anthony have both visited San Fran
cisco, and both have called to see Mrs. Fair, the
great California murderess, in her CELL Both OF
these eminent advocates of the woman suffrage
cause express great regret at the condition oil
Mrs. Fair and the treatment she obtains at the
prison. We are inclined to think that the sym.
pathy expressed for and the interest taken in the
prisoner are unworthy of these two distinguish.
ed leading spirits in what they call a great re-
form. They wish to have Mrs Fair taken from
the cell in which she is confined and removed to
one that shall be more ''cheery" and to ''have
books, flowers and music supplied her," We
have no objection to any well-timed relief that
can be given to inmates of prisons, but we think
it is detrimental to public morals and the pub
lie welfare to exhibit unjustiGable interest in
eminent criminals.
We should have no objection to Mrs. Stanton
and Mrs. Anthony's furnishing not only Mrs.
Fair with all sorts of books and amusements and
Glands of music'' at their OSvn expense.
