A Restraining Hand Over Crime.
Of lie vision

The recklessness as to human life so
manifest of late, cannot have failed to
strike certain terror into all contemplative
minds. The dockets of the courts are
crowded with murder cases. covering
almost every form of the highest crime
known to the law. Husbands shoot their
wives and wives poison their husbands
discarded mistresses empty revolvers into
the bodies of false lovers two bad men
quarrel about a bad woman as In the
Stokes and Fisk case. and one Of them
falls young Walworth deliberately kills
his own father. the code-duello is revived
in New Orleans. and Judge Cooley goes 10

human beings committed TO their care TO

In our own law-abiding and orderly State.
eight murders have been committed in the
last siI months. The record Is q fearful
one. The times are evil Nobody eau tell
how soon we may bee startled by the worst
form Of crime In our own community
The spirit Of violence j. mp in arms. and
while we DO not fear in the end any great
disruption OF social order, We discern
clearly that law and Justice. must pot only
hold restraint, but administer punishment.
There i no need to here discuss the ques-

and the doors thereof brought TO account.
Judges may well put on new sternness and
officers new watchcuness and vigilance.
Public sentiment can well. tor the time At
least, incline to severity rather than

and see that crime in all its manifestations

THE AMERICAN DEPARTMENT AT VIENNA.
Mr.. =. q. Fulton OF the Baltimore
i".erieas gives the latest and probably the
most accurate description of the American
Department Of the International Evnosi-
ton. n follows, ia his last letter from
Vienna:
'During our absence the American De-
partneut has been thrown open TO the pub
ne, and has been pretty harshly criticised
by the vienna press, which, from the long
uelay, processes to have expected greater
attractions. This harsh criticism has had
the effect Of drawing more general atten-
ton tOrhe American Department, and we
found 1t well thronged with visitors, aid
the close inspection OF the articles indicated
that they found much there to interest and
instruct. Paris and London have emptied
their glitterihs shop windows into the
Exposition, which are well to look at and
admire. but there is nothing in the Ameri-
can Department of this character Every
thing here pertains to the useful rather
than the ornamental, and whatever NAV
be the opinion expressed as to its character
by other members Of the American press.
predict that 1t will command more steady
attention and reap as many of the premi-
ums as some of the more gittering portions
of the Exhibition. The extra wing erected
by our Commissioners is largely occupied
by the different American sewing ma
chimes, and they have each attempted to
excel the other in the brilliancy and
elegance of the temples which they have
erected for the display OF their machines
and the exhibition of specimens Of work
manship. They have all the variety Of
their machines in operation, and they are
constantly surrounded by spectators The
knitting machines are especial objects Of
curiosity to the German ladies, who i'm
agined that this work in which they are all
proficient could never be better done by
machinery. The display of American
ladies shoes. which is very fine, charms
the ladies, and the extensive exhibitions Of
American dentistry, in both of which we
beat the world, are thrOnged by that por-
ton Of humanity who have outlived their
teeth. Indeed, if the character of any
department is to be judged by the manifest
interest of the visitors no American will
have occasion to be ashamed of the dis
play. That there has been great bungling
and neglect In getting the department In
order is evident, and Is more apparent from
the fact that, l am assured, there is still
large number Of articles missing along the
road between Vienna and Trieste, some OF
which are daily arriving land being put In
position.
The American division of the machinery
department is not extensive, but there are
about sixty different compact little labor
saying machines in motion, which always
attract eager crowds of spectators. All
the different machines used by the manu-
facturers Of shoes are entirely new In this
country are In practical operation. So
