THE GAZETTE.
MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER .,

~''GoyERNMEST DETECTIVES. From Il
scathing article upon the corruption OF the
United States Government, we make the lOl,
lowing extract, showing the modus operandl OF
the majority of these officials After dispos,
inc of the small fry, the writer thus speaks OF
the larger fish: ~,
Disgusting as the very name, and disgrace
full as the means they employ to accomplish
their netarious schemes, We have yet another
larger, more dangerous, and more unscrupul-
nuS band of thieves who wrap the mantle of
legislation around them, as its thin gauze
could screen them from being likewise gibbeted
nron the pillory of infamy. Assuming high
sounding names, in the vain hope Of shadow
ing the occupation they ply, with guilty hearts
and impudent faces, they point to the statute
which created them, and claiming to be OIL
GERS of the Government, they sneak through
out the length and breadth of our land, prying
into every mans business and only too
happy to do "a smart trick in their own
low Slang, when they succeed in snuttiing
amongst the ashes of the dead past some
scent of a technical and unintcntonal violation
of the law, which, like the hyena robbing the
grave Of its dead, they proceed to unearth, not
to vindcate the law or redress the wrong, but
10 give trouble, annoyance and expense to some
worthy citizen, to obtain his blood money and
yIoat over their grand achievements. A precious
set of thieves and rascals, truly? So infamous,
have these We cannot say men) things, become
that the head of one Of the departments OF our
government deemed it necessary to ad.
wise the Congress ofthe United States to repeal
the law which created them. -.
We might right volume exposing the deeds
and designs of these so-called officers Of the
best government the world ever saw" but
turn away; sick at heart, to know that such
things be. and lay aside the dissecting knife
because Of the putr!lity Of the subject.
Scorned and hated by honest men everywhere
'cast out Of Heaven and refused resting
place even in hell, We now take our leave OF
them.

ACROSS THE WATER.

LIVkRPOOL, aug 1911
DEAR H.: Numerous and va
rious engagements have, up to
this time, prevented my continu-
ing the account of my journey. A
number of US, who had been par
ticularly social and congenial. still
clung together, and at the recon-
mendation of member of our
party, we went to the Royal Hotel
some preferring the Washington,
an American Hotel; but as we hae
purposely left America behind US,
we determined to eschew American
institutions, and look as closely as
possible into the manners and Gus
toms'of the "natives," and had nc
cause to regret our choice, notwith
standing its modest pretensions in
comparison with the Great West
ern and aforesaid Washington
Nothing could be more distinc-
and different from the ways and
customs in hotels at home. We
we're provided with private room
and the table spread for four, our
number; with the faires; Of linen
and brightest Of china; and sump.
tuously as We had Jared on board
the Calabria, we were fully qualifi-
ed to appreciate the delicious fish,
fresh eggs, sweet butter, and the
first cup of coffee we had tasted
since we left home. / sat at the
head Of the table and poured the
tea and coffee, just as l would do
at home and next morning, when
some OF our friends from the Wash
ington looked in upon us at our
cozy breakfast, they quite envied
our look Of home comfort. We
remained until mid day, taking a
hasty and limited glance at institu-
tions in our vicinity. st. George
Hall is a very stately building,
chiefly remarkable for its fine or
gan and magnificent marble pillars,
The museum is also very large, and
We thought remarkably fine, cspeci
ally the departments of natural
history and antique curiosities, also
some fine paintings. But it takes
more than we had at Cur dispos a,
to do this place anything like JUS
tice. In front of St. George Hall
are two fine equestrian statues
Queen Victoria and the Prince Con
sort. The streets are admirabl,
paved; and the building, all Of
stone, giving the city look of sub
stantial dignity very pleasing; bu
the vehicles of various kinds were
a source of never ceasing wonder
to US, SO unlike the light, graceful
and luxurious carriages we hat
been accustomed to see. The,
looked exceedin ely awkward, clum
sy, and uncomfortable, nearly al
running on two wheels; the bal
ance and movement seem very ir.
regular, and they appear to be en-
gagged in frantic efforts to outstri,
the horse before them, and keel
one in momentary fear Of witness.
The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1871-10-14

and, after the fatal battle of Cullo-
den, his conqueror the Duke of
Cumberland. Right royalty grand
must it have been in its time, with
its hangings of yellow satin embos
sed with flowers of dark velvet,
but the moth and rust Of time lies
thick upon it now. In Mary's bed
room is the bed on which sue SO
often reposed her lovely and weary
form, and tapestry wrought by her
own fair hands, she must, indeed.
have been most indefatigable and
accomplished need]ewoman. Per-
haps she thus whiled away some OF
her saddest hours, or wrought while
listening to the sweet song Of Riz-
zio. Here, too, the little old-time
mirror, that must have so often
reflected the face of beauties
queen. After viewing the private
stair, up which Rizzio's murderers
ascended,- and the little supping-
room which they invaded, escap-
ed from the rest of the party at the
door OF the audience-chamber, and
at the top Of the common stair
case, where Rizzio WAS LETT dead
and bleeding from fifty-six wounds.
1t takes but little effort Of the i'm
| agination to rralize the details of
this terrible event, and quite con-
vinced myself that the blood-s,ains
here shown are genuine. We de-
scend-d to the ruined Abbey, and
were shown where, at the foot OF
the private stair, Rizzio was buried.
that Mary, when she descended to
her devotions. would be obliged TO
step over his grave. One can
scarcely believe that this old build
ing, go completely a ruin, has been
the scene Of SO many stirring
events and scenes Of royal mag
nificence. Here James Nv and
Margaret were we'd !; here, also,
Mary, in an evil hour, rlighte'i her
troth to Darnley. and here. with the
more imposing and impressive hon
ors, Charles l, WAS crowned, and
during the struggles of the Refor-
nation the tombs Of the kings were
broken open and their bones desc
Grated and scattered. There are
still many objects of interest within
and around its crumbling walls,
but the whole scene tells more
plainly than agreeable the way all
humanity must go, and one does
not like to linger long among its
shadows. A short distance from
the palace we were shown an old
building said to be the Queens
bath. We ascended Abbey Hill to
Burns monument, in this we were
disappointed, but the situation and
view from it is grand indeed. Here
the objects that most attracted M
were letters in his own handwrit-
ing and a tress of fair hair frou
the head Of the maiden he cele-
brated as "the lassie with the lin
white locks"
Sir Walter Scott's monument lift
itself grandly and beautifully, bu'
the fine statue of him was unde
cover and could not be seen. Blu
John Wilson l saw, and, | say, hi
great magnetism reaches humanit!
still. As l stood and gazed up q
that grand face, l came under al
Influence it was difficult to escap
from-one wishes still to stand ant
gaze.
We returned to dinner, and spen
the evening in laying plans for ou
future tour. w. W. r. S.
