" MORBID APPETITES.

The subject Of morbid propensity
for crime" is attracting the attention
of medical and scientific men, and DR..
VIM. a. Hammond, one of the most
eminent physicians in the country, has
recently read an interesting paper on
the question. He took the ground that
persons sometimes commit acts which
are contrary to THAR natural reason and
their normal inclinations. He related
the case of a distinguished French
chemist aud an amiable man, who,
feeling himself impelled to commit
murder, and fearing his inability to
resist, voluntarily placed himself in a
naisOn de sdnte of the Faubourg ST
Antoine. Tormented by the desire tC
kill, he often Frustrated himself before
the altar aud implored the Almighty
to deliver him from his atrCciOus im
pulse, the origin Of which he could
not explain. When he felt that his
will was yielding, he went to the Su
perintendent of the asylum aud haC
him tie his hands together with rib
/ bon. This weak band was sufficient
to calm the unfortunate man for time
but eventually he attempted to kill ont
of his keepers, and finally died in ;
/ parOXysm Of acute mania.
DR.. Hammond also alluded To klep
tomaniacs who steal everything the!

sort of reference To whether they nee,

II is said Of Mr.. Thomson, the de-
ceased President of the Pennsylvania
railroad, that during the twenty-five
years of his connection with that road
he never failed but once-in 1S57-to
pay its dividends regularly. He saw
the road grow from 2i6 miles to thou
sands, with grand capital stock of
$3.50, 600, 900 His annual report ena
bled the stockholders to know eX-
actly every year just how their
property had been managed and what
twas worth. In this same connection
the Nation suggest that it is the rail-
roads and other moneyed corporations
that are mouopolizing the men of first
class executive abilities. The Govern
ment pays its public men so niggardly
and the road to honorable position is
so beset with trickery and shams that
many men of great talent who might
be of inestimable value to the Govern
ment are drawn off into the pay of
private corporations of great wealth.
A railroad corporation requires eX-
ecutive ability of the first order. The
responsibilities imposed by law are so
great that in the hands of a dishonest
or incapable officer it could be bank
rupted in day.

GOOD ADVICE.

The English residents of Richmond,
Virginia, lately celebrated Queen Vic.
toria's birthday. Among the exercises
of the occasion, the best means for en-
couraging emigration were discussed.
Mr.. st. Edwards, made an address, in
which he urged that, in order to at
tract English immigration, and, it
might be ADDED, any other, it was ad.
visable for landed proprietors to cut
up and dispose of their estates in small
tracts; that the public highways
should be improved; fences kept up,
aud the ours which interfere with
sheep raising exterminated.
Such advise is as good for Tennessee
as for Virginia, as good for receiving
German, Swedish, or native Ameri.
can immigrants as English. The sub
ject of improved highways and small
farms are the important subjects for
our agricultural classes to consider.
We want our mines opened and work
shops built, but the basis of our pros
perity, for years to come, must be inn
proved farming We want our
large tracts of land cut up and
smaller farms better worked. This
can be done if our people will
only look to their own good
aud sell oft'their surplus land at reason
able prices The New York Editors
in their visit here, all spoke about our
/ fine agricultural advantages. This sur
prised them more than anything else.
We have the best farming section in
the country, if our people only fully
realized it. We commend Mr.. st. Ed
ward'- advice to our own people and
urge them to follow it,

BURNED IN A PRAIRIE FIRE.
ATerrfble Narrative from Nebraska,

[From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald, Nov. H.
Last evening Capt. George Lakeland
and Mr.. Charles Lanshaw, who came in
on the II o'clock train of the Kansas
City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs rail-
road from Gage county, Nebraska.
brought the news Of a sad accident that
occurred by reason of the great prairie
fires that are now raging in that section
of the State. Those gentlemen claim
that it is not altogether improbable that
many other families have suffered in
the same manner, and that it will be
necessary to extend liberal aid, and
that very shortly. 49,. l,> 4-.~. ...e.

s.a1ekE In he huntins case gold
watch from : negro named Peterson,
Bagreeing to repair il by Saturday noon
or therea bouts. Hes gave ticket to
Peterson as kind Of receipt. On
Saturday morning an elegantly dressed
lady entered Mr.. Winters store, and.
stating that she had left watch for
repair, but had lost her ticket, she pro-
ceeded to describe Peterson's ticket,
and gave the hour at which it was to
be finished. Mr.. Winters is accommo-
dating he had forgotten that . negro
brought the watch in,-or perhaps he
never saw it.-and Peterson's valuable
was freely and unsuspiciously turned
over to the lady without requiring :
ticket. Peterson called and presented
his ticket in the afternoon, and then
Mr.. Winters began to figure on tho
probable extent of the loss, and to hold
consultation with the police.
a Two other cases Of = like nature-a
gold watch being sacrificed each time
were reported to the police, and it be-
came very plain that an adept in swim
ding was among us.
Mr.. Winters watch was found in q
pawn shop on Locust street, where a
nice'looking young lady had pawned it,
and another watch vas recovered in
another establishment Of like business.
Getting an accurate description Of
the gay deceiver from the numerous
gentlemen who were competent and
willing to give it, the detectives began
to look for her.
Yesterday afternoon about S O'Clock
Dan O'Connor, Chief OF Detectives. was
Juggling his broad shoulders along Fifth
street, and when near Hilton's restarr-
ant he saw pretty girl come out and
cross the sidewalk towards q carriage
which was in waiting. She took his
eye, as all who know him would guess.
But this time Dan meant business. The
face, the size, the complexion, the color
of dress Eureka! It was worth the
risk, anyhow-and before the carriage.
door could be closed, Dan stepped
composedly into the vehicle and took a
seat opposite the other occupant. He
cody asked her to take drive up to
the Four Courts, and the manner in
which she received the invitation prov
ed to him that he was not mistaken.
70 the Four Courts they went, and the
young lady was taken to the Chiefs
office, where it was found that
her namo is Lizzie Schmidt; her
home which she left on Tuesday last, is
in Indianapolis; she came here to play it
sharp on our jewellers, and had done so;
she had confederate who compelled
her to act her part in the. interesting
games by threatening to shoot her if
she failed him; the trick was for the
confederate to watch a jeweler shop,
spot any articles left for repair. listen
to the agreement: make note Of it, give
it to her, and she to play the rest: she
would not give her confederate's name;
she always pawned the watches as soon
as captured, apd gave the money to
her confederate; she didn't mean to be
bad.
The pawn-tickets Of the missing
watches we're found in her pockets, and
the watches were recovered. Now for
the confederate! Anybody that knows
how he looks can do a favor. In the
meanwhile Lizzie Schmidt, the pretty
girl, is in the naughty calaboose. -.

ANEW Sw indle-How Lizzie Schmidt
Played it ON the St. Louis Je welers


Played it ON the st. Louis jewelers..
[Fro,n the St. Louis Republican, Nov 1877
A novel and strikingly ingenious
game Of swindling has been: played with
eminent success upon number, of our
jewelers. during the past week. each of
the victims paying quite handsomely
for his experience On last Wednesday
evening a handsome young woman,
whose age is probably about "a years.
and whose address and apparel suggest
refinement and excellent taste, as we'll
as means to crafty it, arrived in this
city by a tram from indianapolis. It
is quite certain that she was accompa.
inicd by an escort, but what s his name
or how he looks cannot noU be told-in
fact, those are little items which the po-
lice are anxious to discover. Nor can
it be said where the lady boarded. The
interest attaching to this seemingly un.
arrival develops hereafter.
On Thursday--or possibly it was on
Friday-the lady called at the jewelry
store of Joseph NJ. ELMER, No: 9, ,OO2
Carondelet avenue, and ss& ted that she
desired to .PrseHrasshsf. husbands gold
hunting case watch, which had been
left there for repairs, and which was to
BE- finished At this time. Mr.. ELMER
had no recollection Of having seen the
lady before, but there certainly was q
god hunting case watch in his posses.
sion which had been left for repair, ann
which was to be finished, and, in fact,
was finished at that time. The de-
iscription of the watch which she called
for was that of the article in his pos.
session, the lady appeared to be all
thst 2 lady should be, and there was
nd 4 ground for refusing to 4 de;
liver the valuable, Il even had
Mr.. ELMER felt sot disposed, which he
did not. The lady paid the cost Of re-
pairing and took the watch with her.
Mr. ELMER was stunned short time
afterwards when the gentleman who had
left the watch called to take possession
OF st, and denied having ever received
it. As the gentleman could not be
dophted. i Mas quite in order to doubt
tho lady; III fact, 4 tliat twas the least Mr..
ELMER could do, and he did i proba-
bly, more. S - S.
