Crime in Ireland.

A great mass of information as to the
social condition of Ireland has just been
published in some criminal and judicial
statistics by DR.. Wilson Handbook.
The graver descriptions of crime are
still on the decrease, and the number
of indictable offenses last year was one
third per cent. less than in the previous
twelve months. Assaults and the
minor crimes which are within the sum-
mary jurisdiction of the magistrates,
however, are increasing at an alarming
rate, and the number of cases of this
character disposed of in 1873 was
223, 843, no fewer than 1878 more
than In the previous year. DIR. Hand
cock attributes the rapid growth of
these offenses to the greater indulgence
of the people in intoxicating drink, and
observes that an increase is observable
in all those offenses that mark lower
ing of moral tone in society. The sta
tistics contain a vindication of the
character of the Irish juries. The pro-
portion of acquittals in Ireland in 1875
was 30 per cent. as compared with 22.7
per cent. in England and Wales, but
DR.. Handbook observes that the differ
ence is accounted for by the fact that
larger proportion of persons are dis
charged at the first instance in England
and Wales than in this country, and
that consequently the evidence here is
of less certain character. The Bel
gian statistics show slightly higher
proportion of acquittals than the Irish.
Generally speaking, there is less crime
in Ireland than in England, the pro-
portion of criminals being 81 in each
10000 of the population in this coun-
try and 81 in England.

PAPER IMITATION OF LEATHER.-A
most deceptive imitation of leather is
manufactured, according to process
discovered by Dawidowski, from parch-
ment paper. 1t is as soft and pliable
as leather, and resembles it perfectly
in color and finish, and, like it, can be
glued, pressed. stamped. gilded, etc.
It, therefore, forms a substitute for
fancy leather for very many purposes.
AS binding of books 1T resists abrasion
extremely well, and is not affected by
dirt or even water. II is also free from
the objections to leather as lining for
hats, since it is unaffected by perspira-
ton.

Above me weave roof of shade
Impervious to the sun and rain
At times a sudden rush of air
Flutters the lazy leaves o'erhead,
And CLEANS of sunshine toss and fare
Like torches down the path L tread.
By Somariya's garden gate

Along the stony psrapets,
And far away the floating bells
Tinkle Upon the fisner's nets
Silent and slow, by tower and town
The freighted barges come and go,
Their pendant shadows gliding down
By town and tower submerged below.
The hills sweep upward from the shore,
With villas scattered one by one;
Upon their wooded spurs, aud lower

Will it all vanish into air.
Is there land Of such supreme
And perfect beauty anywhere?
Sweet vision, Do not fade awav;
Linger until my heart shall take

And all the beauty of the lake.
Linger until upon my brain

A TERRIBLE SAcRIFIcE.-In the Pro-
vincial Lunatic Asylum, in Toronto, q
few days ago, female patient named
Mrs. Newell, an English emigrant
afflicted with the notion that her FIVE
children's souls could not be saved
unless she herself died some terrible
death, set fire to her clothing, and then
knelt in devotion while enveloped in
flames. The fire was extinguished, but
the patient died the next morning, after
great agony.

PROF. TYNDALL ON TYPHOID FEVER
Prof. Tyndall's latest public utter
ance is on the subject of typhoid fever,
which, he claims in the London Times,
is transmitted and solely propagated by
matter that has been in contact with
the body of typhoid patient. He says
that the most filthy districts will not
snffer until the poison has been import
ed from elsewhere, although filth is
ready conductor of the poison. BE, of
course, insists upon the disinfection or
destruction of all typhoid material, IN
Guiding the clothing and bedding.

murder occasioned. Every man felt
that, if the assassin escaped without
his just punishment, there would no
longer be security for any one in our

solemn oaths were taken to hang the
wretch, if found, upon the nearest tree.
A large reward was offered for his
detection, and every gambler that had

less suspected, and / believe that, had
any man been arrested on the following
