THERE is sort Of lofty sublimity about
q recent advertisement in Texas news
paper which Topper himself cannot equal
seldom" It begins, ."has the history oI
the country been so deeply and darkly
stained with the records Of crime as with
in the past few years. In many leading
metropolis human life Is not worth pins
lee, and as tho perpetrator Of each bloody
deed disentangles himself from the
meshes Of the law, through b the chicanery
OF Justice, as at present administered, the
corruption Of juries, or tho bribery OF
Judges, there Is little hope for that retribu'
lion which should swiftly follow the track
Of THE evil.doer." The general gloominess
and unpleasanlness Of these remarks
might well move the reader TO despairiDg
views Of soCiety-but there Is brightness
beyond. "When, however" continues
this Ingenious and impressive writer
mankind con6nc themselves TO such liq'
uors as are vended by our friend Mir
Of Galveston, the calendars Of crime will
be unblurred"-a fact which the world
will be charmed TO know.
