Assassination as Fine Art.

Since the Persian Shek, known as the
"Old NJ an OF the Mountains" in the elev-
enth century, carried on the trade of assas-
snation by Wholesale from his stronghold in
the heighths of Lebanon, down to the pres
emit time, mankind have insuncJiyely
branded the act OF killing men suddenly
ana 10y stealth as great aggravatiOn of the
otfense OF murder. Even when the killing
in open combat, face to face, would be
deemed IN degree eXcusable or even ius-
tihable, to stab one behind his back or
shoot him IN the dark is universally re-
garded with adherence rs unmanly and
dishonorable And yet history proves that
the crime OF assassination prevails most in
those countries where human life is held
of little value and where the knife and the
pistol are ready to be drawn both in the
street and in public resorts at any trifiing
provocatien. In Italy and Spain. where
the dagger and stiletto were part of
gentlemans daily QUIT not long since, and
where the code of chivalry has hitherto
ruled like rod of iron, professional assas-
sins can be employed to take an enemy's
lie for moderate compensation.
Evidently it is not the tendency of the
code of the duelist or of the street fighter 10
manly courage. We do not say that pro.
who is always ready for an affray in bar
room or at the race track with his knife
and revolver, would stoop to assassin alton.
Far from it. There are many such turbu.
lent spirits who would shudder at the
thought Of stealing on an interpreting enc
