LESSON FOR RoUGHs. Justice is some
times swift footed in this city. The particu-
lars OF the assault on last Sunday night on q
Madison avenue car by two youths named
John Green and John Caughlin on Mr.. Stint
slao Antoldi have already been fully given in
the HERALD. After Antoldi eft the car, it will
be remembered, they knocked him down, cut
of one of his ears, tore his overcoat into
shreds, stole his money and valuables and then
left him. On Monday they were arrested, on
Tuesday indicted, on Thursday arraigned be-
fore the Court of Oyer and Terminer and yes.
terday they pleaded guilty and were each SEN
fepced to fifteen years in State Prison.

The Atlantic Cable ~ . Detective.
A special HERALD telegram from Havana
enables us to print in our columns the facts
connected with the important arrests which
have been made in that city of persons
charged with having perpetrated or being very
directly implicated in the recent frauds on
the Bank Of England by forgery The case
has been closely pursued, and the results ore,
SO far, very encouraging to the cause of JUS
tice by the speedy detection of crime. Elec-
tricity was made available through the cables
to very efficient extent. Some of the pris-
oners travelled under United States passports,
which they alleged to be genuine. The aues-
treaty with Spain having presented itself, the
Captain General Of Cuba telegraphed to Ma
drid for instructions, and received in reply
authority to act in the premises as if the
Spanish Republic had an extradition
treaty with Great Britain. 1t is no
new doctrine that the progress of science
would lead to the detection Of the criminal,
and so would prove powerful agent of civiliza-
ton in the higher sense. In these times, in
fact, the criminal has better chance to escape
punishment than to escape detection. Within
the fold Of civilization, proper. there is no
longer hiding place for the man who has
proved himself the enemy of society. One of
the latest examples is furnished by the capture
of Mcdonnell, the alleged London forger, in
the bay. 1t will be seen that the steamship
Celtic, which sailed from Liverpool for New
York on tho 18th of the present month, carries
out Inspector Webb, Of the London police
force. Inspector Webb brings with him the
e1tradition papers to secure Mcdonnell and to
take him back to England In this as in
many previous instances, the Atlantic cable
has proved most efficient detective

The British Prcss-Taking Lessons from
the Herald.
When men see and admit the superiority
of others over themselves in the prosecu-
ton of their calling it is q hopeful sign
Of their willingness to learn and DISPOSE
ton to improve Therefore we are led to
hope that British journalism will gain from
observation of American newspaper enterprise.
The London Telegraph of the 9th ult.
devotes an editorial column to an interview
with NJ. Gambetta, by what it styles "an ad-
venturous correspondent of the NEW YORK
HERALD" Our English contemporary seems
astonished that the ex-Dictator should have
defined his position in the long conversation
which he held with our correspondent with
q frankness that has astonished his foes"
Possibly before this date the very interesting
and instructive report from q HERALD corre-
spondent of the opinions held by another dis
tinguished Frenchman, the venerable M.
Guizot, the dispatches of Mr.. O'Kelly from
Cuba, and the startling bulletins from our
correspondent at the stronghold of the Modocs,
in the lava beds of California, may have i'm
pressed upon the editor of the telegraph the
fact that the energy of an Independent news
paper is able to secure the services of brave
and digni6ed as well as intelligent correspond
ents, and that they are wont to win the con-
fdence and enjoy the respect of those with
whom they converse. As that paper has sent
q savant to look after the archives of Babel, it
should not hesitate to try its enterprise upon
matters Of present interest day later
the Standard followed the lead of its
rival in long editorial upon the same

bitterly change all this. The dishonored
corpses, the shameful and degrading form in
which death came, will tell our murderers
what murder truly is. They viii cast
the eyes of their soul from the
scene where they took human life to that
where avenging justice will with heaped up
horror take theirs. The courtesies of jailers,
the words of faltering hope from the lips of
friends the pious ministrations of clergymen
will serve but family to veil the forecast Of
their miserable fate. II is not true that these
lessons are thrown away upon the multitude.
The actual hanging is disgusting as well as

one soaring glimpse of that death scene, and he

Terrible as are the means that must be used
we welcome the reign of law in all its stern
majesty. The HERALD through all the despair
ing time of New York beset by homicides has
steadily called for jusice-for punishment
where il was due. We mover advocated the
straining of single point of law to find man
on trial for his life guilty. Once murderer
was pronounced 80 by competent authority we
have withstood the most persistent pressure to
weaken our unbending call for justice The

be nothing If the contempt at first held
for law in oil forms could be succeeded

small Rox of the period.

Saws the Stockton Gazette: Where
the road between Merced and Smelling
crosses the Merced river, that stream IS
about two hundred yards in width and
even at this season Of the year, when the
water is quite low, it looks like danger
GUS and deep stream to cross. Last
Thursday patent-medicine agent, traV-
cling on horseback through that section,
came to the river and hesitated about
attempting to ford it as he saw the wide
expanse Of rushing waters. There is no
bridge anywhere along there, so after
some indecision, spying a boy hshlng IN
small punt tied to the bank, he said
Hello, bub"
Hello, yourself" ,I
Can l get you to take my clothes
across the river in your boat ?
II rekin you kin, if you've got any
soap"
"All right. I'll give you a quarter to
take over my clothes and the carpet
sack to the opposite shore.
TO this the boy nodded assent, the
stranger Iisrobed, turned over the car
net-sack and ha6iliments TO the juvenile,
who padded out into the stream, and
mounted his horse prepared to swim the
river and enjoy the luxury OF BATH
With a splash at every movement the
horse stepped into the stream, and
walked across. The wator was nowhere
more than eighteen inches deep 10

the back of his horse, was man OF

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Daily News writes: A rare if not
an unprecedented case of personation
has bean tried Ny the assize court of
Quimper, in Brittany. Mime Gault, the
wife OF well-to-do wine-shop keeper at
Brest, giving way to bad temper, com
mitted assault and battery upon female
neighbor, for which she was convicted
and sentenced to O week simprisonment.
In France, a traverser, condemned
for light offense, is not, as in England,
carried off straightway from the dock to
a prison. He is allowed to do his
prison within any reasonable time con-
yenient to himself. There is no ma
chinery for enabling the jailer to estab-
lish the identity. A person presents
himself at the jail with paper recording
his condemnation, and says: have
come to constitute myself prisoner
pursuant to this sentence; aud he is re-
ceiyed and slowed away without ques-
ton. only wonder under these
circumstances that people with money,
sentenced to imprisonment, do not very
often get substitutes. However, the idea
appears TO be new one. M. Gault and
his wife, the carbaretiers Of Brest, were
agreed that it would be disagreeable for
Madame to 90 to Jail, and foolish, more
over, since for q trivial sum another
woman might be found who would be de-
lighted to suffer vicariously. A char
woman named Corroleur agreed with
Gault, ,whowishingto behave handsomely,
gave her fifteen francs for largesse. The
voluntary and fraudulent prisoner was
received without difficulty, and but for
an anonymous letter to the policeman
the substitution would never have been
discovered. The unfortunate Gault
(who will certainly now not get sub
stitute) was sentenced to two years inn
prisonment for his fraud upon the law.
The poor woman suborned by him was
acquitted, on the ground of her distress
and ignorance.

Anoiant Troy Restored.

A whole library of literature about an
cient Troy, and about the character OF
the Had, and about Homer himself, has
disappeared in presence of the excava-
tions now being carried on by Mr.. Schlie-
mann, in Asia Minor. No longer can
the Iliad be regarded as fictitious or q
symbolical narrative. No longer will
the personality of Homer be lost in the
chaotic mass of the Homeriids. Mr..
Schliemann has begun his work ofresur-
recting Troy. he has identified places
by their correspondence with the topo-
graphical descriptions Of the Iliad. He
IS confident he has found the high
lowered portals of the temple wherein
sat the council of Trojan elders on the
day of the duel between Paris and Meme
laus. Troy appears again, while those
who have denied its existence disappear
and quietly pass into limbo.

l Saturday evening, says the Sacra-
mento Union, n gentlemani j u the employ
Of the Central Pacific Railroad Company
drove out 10 o place about fifteen miles
from the city, where his family are stop
ping, and soon afterward started on his
return TO town. Before starting he lighted
his meerschaum and INDUCED in long
and pleasant smoke as be drove along.
This over, he placed the pipe in the
outer breast pocket Of his coat, and
paid no more attention TO it. By
and by a peculiar smell greeted his
olfactories-a smell Of burning wooden
cloth-and, as II increased, he began
TO look about TO see il his garments
were on FIRE, and at the first movement
he found that the whole pocket had
burned out of his coat, and the fire was
spreading rapidly. He grabbed at the
burning material hastily, but was so
nervous about it that he frightened the
horse, and the animal ran. To make
matters worse, the lines were not buckled
together, and one slipped out OF his
grasp while he was endeavoring to
smother the FIRE with his other hand.
Still worse, the increased speed in
creased the breeze, which famed the
fire, and portions of it dropped down
upon his pants, burning through them,
and causing him to bounce up and down
en- the seat as though he were trying to
settle an unusually hearty meal. And
there he was-horse running away, line
dragging, and FIRE rapidly making the
cuticle OF his leg rival the hue of his red
flannel underclothingl At last, by dint
of dexterous clawing, he managed to
smother the 6re,Ithen stepped out on the
shafts and recovered the line, and in
course of time subdued the horse. Ex-
ceedingly thankful to get out Of his
trouble without broken bones, he rode
on to the city in a subdued frame OF
mind, and never thought of being pro-
fame until, just as he was quietly slip
ping into clothing store with the buffalo
robe gathered about him to conceal the
deficiency Of his wardrobe, he met full
in the face two lady friends, who insisted
upon his escorting them home, and
wanted to know whatin the world he had

what Horace Greeley Knew About
Pretty Girls.

FEotty UAEhn.
From the Omaha Beel
An Omaha lady, while teaching
school in Massachusetts, in 1856,
boarded with Mr.. Reuben Nichols,
who, in boyhood, was a schoolmate Of
Horace Greeley. Hearing many stories
of his boyhood she-just for the fun of
the thing-wrote him letter about the
little red knowledge box, in New Hamp-
shire, where he attended school. He
wrote the following reply, which will
doubtless interest our many readers who
respect the memory of one OF the
greatest men Of our country:
WASHINGTON, d. c., February l8, 1856.
Miss Hewes: As do not know you, and
am little interested in any but part of
your letter. you will allow me in my ter
rible hurry--having two days work that
ought to be done to-day, while | must
leave at evening for a journey to our
Pittsburg convention-to speak only OF
that.
/ very well remember the red school
house in which FIRST began to learn;
1.-THE paint was worn off long since and
it was very far from red when | last
saw it); | remember the Nichols chill
dren, who lived just below the school
house in a large house; but | was very
young then, and don't make out a clear
mental picture of Reuben Nichols. l
think he must have been considerably
older than l. But ] recollect one As
seneth Nichols, one of two girls not
much older than l, whom thought
very pretty, so that while was very
good speller, and so one of the two at
the head of the first class in spelling,
who were entitled to Choose sides for
spelling match, l used to begin by
choosing these two pretty girls, who
couldn't spell hokey to save their souls:
Well, this was found not to answer; |
knew enough to spell, but not to choose
sides; so the rules had to be altered, and
the two next to the one at the head had
the honor of choosing sides. Ask
Mr.. Nichols il he had sister Asseneth,
and if he remembers any such nonsense
as this. Ny kindest regards to him.
Yours, HORACE GREELEY.
