A Case OF Conscience.

Several weeks ago q convict in the
Joliet Penitentiary made q statement to
General Baine, Of the Board of Commits
sioners, substantially of this import, viz.
That he (the convictl about three wears
ago, assisted in breaking into and rob.
bling the silk store of Messrs. Clark &,
Brown, in Hoboken, N. j.; that the Chief
OF Police Of that city giving his name)
was confederate in the cOmmisson OF
the crime; that after the stolen property
consisting of silky had been secreted,
small portion of the goods was put into
a sack and taken to the store OF a Ger
man named Strauss, ostensibly for Strauss
to examine and purchase; that while
Strauss held the sack in his hands. the
Chief of Police and assistants (knowing
IN advance what was to occur bounced
upon poor Strauss as the burglar, arrest
ed and imprisoned him; on the trial the
Joliet convict appeared as main witness
and this innocent German, with the cir.
cumstantial evidence, manipulated by the
real criminals, plainly against him, was
convicted and sentenced to Imprisonment
at hard labor for term of ten years.
After three years. reflection upon this
double villainy of burglary and perjury,
the real criminal could NO longer endure
the thought of the wrong he had in.
fiicted upon an innocent man, and he
therefore made the confession we have
just narrated. He made diagram show.
ing the location of the building and the
room from which the property was stolen,
and furnished other proof to fortify the
correctness of his statement.
While General Baine was East q short
time since, on official business, he visited
the New Jersey Penitentiary at Trenton,
asked If there was such a convict there as
Morris Strauss, was answered in the af.
frmative, sought and obtained an inter-
view with the person, and found, after
careful inquiry, that the story of the Jo-
liet convict was confirmed in all particu-
lars. When informed that undoubted
proof of his innocence had been furnished
the prison authorities, and that his release
would be obtained as soon as the Board
Of Pardon could formally pass on the
case, Strauss wept for joy; and we'll he
might, for the prospect of speedy relief
from further imprisonment of seven
years would break up the fountain of
almost anybody's feelings, especially as
he had carried with him for three years
the Consciousness of his innocence. In
the tale of Two Cities" Charles Dickens
described inimitably the possibilities of
this false imprisonment business. But
his description was fiction. Ours is fact.
The romance of real life is sometimes
thrilling enough, If it can only be fully
written and read.-Chicago Inter- Ocean.

VINEGAR BITrERs.-Dr. ]. Walker, q
regular practicing physician of Cali
fornia, has conferred priceless boon
upon mankind by the introduction of a
" Bitters" compounded from herbs exclu-
sively, which may be truly said to be
superseding all others, and IS becoming a
bitter dose indeed for the charlatans and
quacks, on account of its immense sale
and universal popularity. Not only are
these VINEGAR BITTERs, as he calls them,
an invaluable tonic and alternative, but
they are acknowledged as a standard
MEDICINE; and the astonishing rapidity
with which they cure diseases hitherto
declared incurable seems almost incredi-
BILE. After having been carefully tested,
they are kept on hand in thousands of
households, and used for any and every
form of disease, many relying upon them
in preference to the most celebrated ply
sicians. They have become recognized
