- WRITES EHlNSELE DOWN AN

Some men are born asses, some are
made asses by education and association,

GLOBE, which seems to have astonished
this Smart young man. 1t was out of
the ordinary line of journalism, in the
country, with which he had been familiar,
and different from the class which he has
since seen. 1t was honest journalism. In
every department of our paper, we have
always cndeavored to be-and such will
continue to be our aim-honest, impartial,

connection with THE GLOBE, its favorable

propose to continue in the same course now

the same feeling that she did years ago, yet
Spain has no ground of complaint against
us. She could never have maintained her
possessions in the Gulf of Mexico had it

SharScy the Fugitive

The Sharkey matter appears to be still
in statu quo. Tuesday there were numer-
GUS rumors in circulation, which, if they
had all been well founded, would have
tended to make out Sharkcy to he very
ubiquitous but few of them were found
to have any foundation whatever. One
was that Monday the hiding place of
Sharkey was discovered to be 1S1 Licking
ton avenue, but this statementwas pronoun-
ced untrue by Captain Irving. Another,
and what seemed to be an equally probable
one, was that at the verv moment Captain
Irving was engaged in the search of this
house Sharkcy, having taken passage on
the steamer South America, bound for Rio
Janeiro, was steaming down the bay at Il
rate that deiied pursuit. In relation to
the latter the passenger clerk at the office
OF the United States Brazil Steamship com
pany said he could identify every passenger
who sailed, and that Sharkey could not
possibly have done so without his know
ledge. While Sharkey was thus supposed
to be at one aud the same time in Licking
ton avenue and in the lower bay, diligent
search was making for him in Staten Island
and the saloon of one James O'Grady, in
Stapleton, whose bGrkeeper is supposed to
be a friend of Sankey's, was made the
object of investigation, but without
result. In addition to these, n story got
Ia =
into circulation that Sharkey was seen on a
pennsylvania railroad train by some New
ark ladies on the day of his escape. Their

attention was attracted to an individual in
female attire, whose dcmeanor aroused
their suspicion. As they passed out of the
car they observed as the person drew back
his or her dress to allow them to pass, that
the object of their suspicious wore n gray
pair of pantaloons beneath it. Their sus-
picions were communicated to the New
York detectives, who have since made dill
gent search for the murderer in Newark and
other places along the line Of the road.
Over twenty houses were searched by the
detectives on Monday, but no trace of the
fugitive was discovered. About thirty
places were ransackcd on Tuesday with the
same result. The detectives are working
very quietly, and are forbidden to talk
about the business in hand under pain of
having charges preferred against Them
Chief Matsell said that he was convinced
that Sharkcy was still in New York and that
the avenues of escape are SO guarded that
escape is nearly impossible. 1t is believed
that the search will be commenced by men
who have kept aloof on account of the pro-.
fcssonal jealousies that the offering of IA

To-day there will, or ought to, be a gen
eral cessation of business throughout the
length and breadth of the country. From
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Can
ada to the Gulf of Mexico, the busy hum
of industry, for one secular day, will cease.
The mandatory, the store, the shop and
the office will be closed, and all, regardless
of their particular occupation, trade bust
ness or profession, will, temporarily, cease
from their labors. And why Called by
the united voices of the executives of the
nation, the several states, and of MANY
cities to lay aside all cares and tell, and the
thought of the morrow, they are invited
with one voice and heart, to render due
homage, praise and thanksgiving to God
the Giver of all, for the bounteous mercies
that He has bestowed upon us as a state and
nation. To-day, in accordance with i'm

In 1868 a Hebrew stranger died in Troy.
and was inferred by the few residents of
his nationality who at that time dwclt
there. For twenty years his last resting
place has been distinguished only by Il
head-board, with the inscription of a
stranger upon it. Recently the Jewish
people of that vicinity, having learned the
name of the deceased, generously resolved
to erect him monument displaying his
actual name. Accordingly thirty to forty
dollars were raised, and few days ago the
marble headstone, bearing the name
" Jacob Roth, was set up with the usual
ceremonies of the Jewish Church. This
trait of the Jewish people, SO frequently
manifested, is worthy of great commcnda-
