H Henry James, in letter on capi-
tai punishment,says that while he would
like to see it modified in form, or even
abolished in substance, it is not because
he feels any direct sympathy for the
criminal. OF him Mr.. James says, ILL
ustratively: "If any man have a just
ground Of quarrel with his wife, his
friend, his nei9hbor in any degree, the
law is at hand to vacate it. If, howev-
er, he choose to anticipate the laws ac-
ton, and void the quarrel himself by
his own super strength or strategy, let
the law, which alone represents society,
avenge its outraged majesty as it will
the criminal at least has no right to
complain. BY deliberately constituting
himself his own law in respect to his
victim. he has stamped himself an out

half of outlawry, though we may mum

The Rabagas Hat,
IFrom the New York World !


The story of how the Rabagas hat,
now so fashionable in Paris, was inven-
ted is most curious one. For long
time it was mystery, but the narrative
of its origin has recently been told. AS
it may in time work its way to our side
of the ocean, it will probably interest
those who may choose to wear it to
know that that notorious creature, Cora
Pearl, was the inventor of the chapeau.
Miss Pearl, as the story runs, attended
brilliant supper at the Maison Doree
after witnessing NJ. Sardou's play of
Rabagas. While at the table the whim
seized her to manufacture a new sort OF
hat. which she predicted would soon be-
come the fashion. Carrying out her
caprice, she took hat of one Of the
gentlemen present, cut .he rim off with
table knife, and requested the owner
of the hat to crush it in with his fist
with all the force he could give the
blow. This was done, and the result
was nondescript head-covering, round
in shape, and with a most uproarious
turn. She then called for green vel
and a ribbon, and declared that she
would wear that hat the rest of the sea
son in the Champs Elysees and else
where. She was as good as her word
and, after while, a fashionable medistt
took up the idea, and ladies who neithe
knew nor cared whence the hat prigna
ted adopted the fashion as an exquisite
novelty. This eccentric bonnet is no
only curious in shape, but is worn Gu
riously. 1t is covered with veil, ant
placed on the back Of the head, as if j
were going to fall a. every moment.

cure For stammering.

DR.. Dio Lewis gives the following as
positive cure for stammeriEg. Those
afflicted will do well to read:
"Ihe cure is simply this: The STAN
merer is made to mark the time in his
speech, just as is ordinarily done in
singing, He is at first to beat on every
syllable. 1t is best at the Grst lesson to
read some simple composition, like one
of David's Psalms, striking the fore-fn-
ger on the knee at each word; then read
in newspaper, beating each syllable.
s.You can beat time by striking the
finger on the knee, by hitting the thumb
against the fore finger, or moving the
large toe in the boot.
Eve doubt if the worst case Of slut
tering would continue long, provided
the sufferer would read an hour or two
each day with thorough practice OF this
simple art. observing the same in his
conversation.
GAS thousands have paid fifty and
hundred dollars for this secret, we take
great pleasure in imparting it to the
patrons of this journal"

Utah.

Tile judicial troubles in Utah ought
10 be reconciled It's apparent that the
worst sort of criminals have been releas-
ed by tue Federal Courts alter they had
been tried and convicted ty the Terrific
rial Courts Again, that men who have
committed no olfense and are guilty OF
no crime, are working on the chain.
gangs, under sentence by the Probate
Courts.
This conflict bct@een the Federal and
Territorial Courts and the persecution
by the Probate Courts are certainly DARK
spots upon the Judiciary. The people
out there must be protected from th'
criminals who infest the Territory, bu
the action of the Federal power appear:
to he for the protection of the rogue:
rather than the people. And that of th'
Probate Courts to punish the guiltles
instead of the guilty.

A Curious Legal OuibbIe.

BALTIMORE, March 2s In the Grim
iual Court in this city, yesterday, in the
case of the State against John +. Green,
indicted for the embezzlement and lar
ceny of $500, the defendants counsel
demurrcd to the indictment on the
ground that the word 'fraudently" was
used in the indictment for 'fraudulent-
ly." The point was argued at length
and numerous authorities cited Oh both
sides. The defendants counsel cited
acts of the British Parliament in force
in Maryland, requiring all indictments
to be in the English language, and con
tended that the word used was unknown
to the language, and that it was not 6
clerical error. Judge Gilmore gave his
views at length, sustained the demurrer
ard quashed the Indictment.

RonapAfte Family Exiled FROM
France

PARIS, March 29-In the Assembly
to day there was an excited debate over
Prince Napoleon's petition praying for
the restoration of his rights as citizen,
and demonstrating against his illegal
expulsion from France. -
Minister Dufanre, on the part of the
Government, refused to accept the Spe-
cial Committees report on the subject,
which was conservative in character,
and, by implication, censured the Gov.
ernment. He argued that the Bonaparte
Princes rejected the decree which de.
posed their dynasty, therefore it was i'm
possible to treat them as mere citizens
lie spoke in terms Of scathing contemp
of the coup d'etat on which theipowe
Of the late Emperor was founded
NJ. Depcvre, on behalf of the com
mittee, repudiated any intention of cen
suring tie Government, and defended
the report.
Minister Duiaure, TO remove all doub
as to the opinion of the Chamber, thel
submitted bill exiting the Bonapart
family, and moved the simple order O
the day, which, after prolonged excite
ment, was adopted by vote of SAT t

The st. Paul Pioneer has been look

upon its. discoveries:
Two years ago Senator Howe repor-

Senator Sumner from his position as

Affairs and putting Cameron in his place
Now caucus of his friends has not only
removed him from the Claims Commit

humiliation, it has taken up Carpenter
who has only had three years expert

EThe invasion of Rome by oil

RThe invasion of Rome by our
good countrymen is subject of con-
stantly increasing amazement to native
and foreigner alike. They swarm in the
streets, they ill the churches.they crowd
the palaces, and literally monopolize the
best hotels. The largest and newest
among the latter, built upon noble
height, inaccessible to feyers, and pro-
vided with every comfort and every
luxury of which our own model houses
boast at home, is said to be almost ex-
clusively occupied by. Americans, the
list of Visitors showing only few stray
names of Englishmen among the hun
dreds there recorded. The same is the
case with all the smaller hostelries Of
good repute.

AITwenty four years ago gentle

GJ-Twenty four years ago gentle
man in suburban town packed several
eggs in box of oats and put them in
an out-of-the-way place in the attic OF
his store. with the intention Of testing
their condition at the end of years
time. Forgetting all about them, nearly
a quarter Of century had passed, when,
in overhauling the contents of the attic,
he came uron the box of eggs in its
hiding-place. Upon breaking the eggs
the shells of which appeared sound, the
whites were found to have totally disap-
peared, while the yelks remained dried
and quite hard The oats in which the
eggs were packed were sound as the day
when they were putin the box, and the
gentleman has planted several with q
view of discovering whether they retain
their vitality. In the tox was found q
memorandum giving the date on which
the eggs were deposited.

surface Hardening of Cast-Iron

The wearing of cast-iron surfaces ex-
posed to sliding friction can be almost
wholly prevented by tempering the sur
face with mixture Of 81 Ito pints of
water, 30a pounds of sulphuric acid,and
1908 grains of nitric acid. The article
should be heated to a cherry-red, and
protected from the oxidizing effect OF
currents of air by sheet-iron box. The
process is especially adapted to the har-
dening of bearings of axles, which, Awhile
much cheaper than those of the usual
alloy, will, when regularly fabricated,
last as long, even when there is great
rapidity Of motion.
