Amy President who would ree
appoint TO Office such a man as
Collector J. F. Casey of New Or
leans might be fairly given over
to blindness of mind and hard
ness Of heart. Mr. Casey was Of
fensively active in the original
Louisiana troubles; he lent the
Custom House seEvice to the con-
spirators who attempted to break
up the Legislature; and all his
acts we're SO notoriously at war
with the principles of common
decency that the Congress Com
mittee ofInvestigation could only
snbmit the facts and silently
awaitsthe result. The result was
that Casey was retained in power;
and now he has again been ap-
pointed to the position which he
has 80 openly aud shamefully
abused. There never was any
palliation offered for Casey's con-
duet. The only reason which
can now be found for his persist
ent retention in office is either
that he is the Presidents brother
inslaw. or else that the Presidents
ckivalry compells him to stick by
. man for whom nobody else has
q good word.

Ancient Greek Face.

Twenty years ago Mr.. Scharf, in the
account of Greek art which he prcixed
10 the third edition OF Wordsworth s
Greece, remarked that a cat-like ar
rangement of the eyes was one of the
common characters les OF all the
archaic Greek art, and the astounding
sorcophagus from the Casstellani col.
lection gives a new interest to such in
quiries. At first sight it seems very
startling hypothesis that the Greeks
could ever have been like that strange
couple with their short great toes, and
hollow chests, and retreating ioreheads,
with the whole face conyergiDg to the
mouth. II is startling to think that
there ever have been such men at all,
aud that if they had ever lived they
must have lived little, if any more,
than twenty-five centuries ago. If we
are to assume that the rate at which it
is possible for the prevailing type of
face TO change is absolutely Fixed, We
shall put the Castellani sarcophagus
out Of court altogether We shall say
II is impossible that the artist can have
been representing what he law. Either
he was incompetent or he was not seri-
GUS. But it is certain that the rate is
anything but fixed the contrast be-
tween the first sitter of Reynolds is
decidedly less than the contrast between
the first sitter of Lawrence and the last
sitter OF MILAN and both are dWarfed
by the contrast between the first sitter
of Lawrence aud the last sitter OF Rey-
nolds, and this again 10y the contrast
between the sitters of Vandyke and the
sitters of kneller Aud we go back
century from Vandyke to Holbein, we
find still greater difference Of type
between tho two extremes while the
we'll marked Ehzlbethan type which
comes between Is sharply distinguished
from both. And this IL what we really
ought TO expect the rate of change
among mems habits and institutions n
liable to the most surprising variations.
and these, like their cast OF connte.
nance, are really the expression of .heir
thoughts, and feelings, and wishes.
We know that between $50 and $50 n
G. the Greeks went through the most
complete and thorough mental trans.
formation on record, and We ought not

They have found you guilty of murder

death of James Fisk, Jr., one year ago

their judgment, not prompted by their
hearts. | am sure l do each juror but
justice in saying so-assuring you their
concurrence on this verdict was the most
painful act of their lives. That result
is not the fruit of unkindness to you,
but of respect of and obedience to the
laws. The evidence in the case, even
your own testimony, | am constrained to
believe, sanctions their conclusion and
justifes their verdict. | am not con-
scious, SO far as am personally concern
ed, that | have erred in any respect
against you. During the progress of
the trial | have endeavored in all cases
of doubt to give you the benefit of such
doubt. To me remains the painful duty
of pronouncing the law, not alone as a
punishment of your crime, but also that
by your example others may take warn
ing from your sad, unhappy fate. So
young, attractive in person, with so many
fountains of joy yet untasted, still great,
er is my sorrow to realize the unmerlted
anguish you have brought upon your
family and friends. Your disgrace IS

your dishonor casts an unjust but lnev-
liable stain upon them. 1t is fright

law gives you be devoted to reflection OF
the past and repentance for your sins,
and in preparation for the great change
so terribly near you. Do not delude
yourself with uncertain hopes of pardon
or clemency. Edward S. Stokes, in ODE
dience to requirements of law, this Court
orders and directs that you be taken
hence, in custody of the sheriff of. the

prison whence you came, and that you
there be confined in close custody by
such Sheriff until the 26th of February,

Congress is turning its attention to
the matter of financial pirates locking
up money to create financial embarrass-
ment for their own pecuniary benefit,
and inquiring into what legislation is
necessary to prevent and punish these
piratical combinations. We suggest
that about all the legislation necessary
is to clock up every member of the
c>mbination, so tight that he would new
er get one to change again. We think the
mildest name they can possibly give the
crime is highway robbery-and the pun
ishment should be melted out according
ly.-Cedar Rapids Times.
