ROsenzmelr Once More.

There seems more than fair chance
that Rosenzweig, the murderer Of
Alice Bowlsby, will soon be set free.
Not quite two years since the commune
ty was startled by the revelation Of o
most ghastly crime, the hideous perpe-
traitor OF which was quaek doctor,
named Jacob Rosenzweig. The revolt.
ing manner il which the mangled body
Of unfortunate Alice A. Bowlsby was
found, packed in q trunk, sent thrill
of horror through the minds Of all right
minded people against the abortionist,
and his conviction, on the 18th day oil
October, 1871, Of manslaughter in the
second degree and subsequent sentence
10 the Stale Prison for seven years was
deemed q very light punishment for the
ghoul.like deed. He was taken from
prison on writ OF error. In tho inter.
i'm between the conviction and It's re.
versAl the Legislature, which was then
in session, MS is now insisted, repealed
the act under which RosenEweig had
been convicted, and passed new law
making the punishment for crimes Of
this inhuman character twenty years in
the State Prison instead Of seven. The
prevRilingimpression seems to 10 that
q special plea will have tho effect OF
again setting this fellow loose upon the
nnhlin.

A rem Hero.

There Is a heroism OF humanity that
deserves celebrating far more than that
cowardly inhumanity which resorts TO
violence at the least provocation. Here
is one act, for instance. Last summer,
at regatta at oourtmasherry, ireland,
several persons who did NOT know how
to manage boats got into them, and one
OF them capsiEed within fifty yards Of
the shore. The boat contained two
men and two women, and no other boat
was near. The men managed to swim
ashore, leaving the women under the
boat to their fate. Mccoy, who was
sitting at window hundred yards
from the,beaeh, Immediately jumped
through it, height Of ten feet, and,
rushing through the crowd to the shore,
lie swan towards the boat and found
the legs Of one Of the women sticking
out from under the gunwale. Ho drag
ged her out, swan with her TO a Light
er, and rested her on an oar, from
which she was conveyed ashore md
saved. BE again swan to the boat,
and, seeing some bubbles on the water,
diyed and, although nearly exhausted,
caught hold OF the other woman drown
ing. He succeeded in swimming with
her to shore, supporting her with one
hand while swimming with the other.
The Humane Society very properly
voted silver medallion to the noble
fellow. or course, he was not lioniEed
Ms though he had committed murder,
but probably he will feel a good deal
more comfortable. Hemp does not al-
ways coRducs TO happiness, especially
when compulsorily worn about the
