ga Pistol That Was a Pistol.''

Capt. Isaac s. Bourne, of the Brook
lyn police, was shot and instantly killed
at noon yesterday by John Crawford
Pollock. a reporter employ d upon the
Brooklyn Argns. Pollock had been to
the Church of the Assumption, and on
his way home had stopped at the Sec
ond Precinct Station to see the Captain,
who was his friend. In the course of
conversation, Pollock took from his
pocket cartridge, which he said was
similar to the one taken from the body
of Mosier, one of the Bay Ridge bur
glars. The Captain took the cartridge
and looked at it few minutes, and then
putting his hand in his pocket drew
revolver, which he showed to Pollock,
saying it was present given to him
some time previous. Pollock returned
it to him, and then the Captain went
into his private room, saying that he
had another one which he felt proud of.
Pollock followed him. The Captain
went to his desk, and opening small
drawer, took out another pistol. Pol
lock asked if It was loaded, and the
Captain replied, emo" The former
cooked and snapped it. "Now," said
Captain Bourne, " I'll show you a pis-
tol that is pistol" and he brought
forth a fine nickelplated navy revolver,

it to Pollock. The latter took it in his
hand, and supposing it to be unloaded
snapped it as he had the other pistol.
To his astonishment the revolver was
fred and the ball struck, the Captain
about half an inch below the nipple on
the left side of the breast. Immedi-
ately on seeing what he had done Pol
lock rushed to the door leading to the
main room, and said, So NY God, have
killed him r. Sergeant Carrougher,
who was at the desk, heard the report,
and ran, with Officer Bedell, to the in
ner room, where they found the Cap
tain dead upon the floor, between his
chair and desk. Pollock was immedi
ately arrested, and in conversation after
ward with Inspector Waddy said that
he supposed the pistol was unloaded
At the time of the shooting Capt
Bourne and Pollock were admiring the
| pistols, the Captain sitting in front oi
Pollock near his desk Their conver
sation, Pollock says, was of the friend

In a recent address,, the Earl OF ShAflesbury

tue progress of science. as. many people. did, he

He would urge upoa these masters OF wisdom that

sand times as many minds were engaged Ia scien-
tldc pursuits. A lew eminent men held "A monopo-

aud abundant fancies. But there was no greater
folly than that committed by those who wou,i

Whaling Bark Florence, which arrived at San
Francisco on the 18th Nov. from the Ochotsk Sea-
had a terrible experience. Having putiDto a har-
Dor at Pleasant Island, a number of the natives
were allowed to come on deck. Soon after the
vessel again sailed one of these natives was found
concealed on board, and as be expressed a desire
to be employed as a sailor be was set to work. He
was found to be very eccentric. but little attention
was paid to him. One warm day, while q number
of the men were lying in the top gallant forecastle,
" Jim" as the savage had been named, suddenly,
and without the slightest warning or provocation,
drew a knife that hung in one of the mems sheath
and stabbed him in the abdomen, i~nflicting a fatal
wound. He then sprang at another member Of
the crew and made a violent lunge at him, but the
six inch rent in his shirt. A third man was next
attacked and he soon fell to the deck dead, with
seven terrible stabs in the breast, face and thighs.
After this the native sprang into the foreeastle.
where he imagined himself secure from harm. He
fought like a tiger when assaiied. but was at last
stabbed to the heart by one of the crew.

Mr.. EDIToR-A correspondent in the Gazette,
signing himself Evolutionist,' amuses me. He has
evidently been annoyed at your article upon the re-
canting of his fle-eader; but lacks the manliness to
come out openly as his champion. Your articles
from two well known. and duly credited, papers on
coffee and milk and chalk are put forward as the
cause of his hot displeasure, and from behind q
wordy dissertation, which must have taxed his lexi-
cons sadly, he filings his shaft in defence Of Atheism.
The truth is ~sorrowfuly strained in his assertion that:
"TyndOlI has merely denied some false statements
made against him.
You were generous enough to give Mr.. Tyndall
credit for a display of moral courage in making the
honest statement at Manchester, that the doctrine
announced at Belfast g did not commend itself TO his
mind in hours of clearness and vigor;'' and that " in
the presence of stronger and healthier thoughts it
even dissolved and disappeared The quotations are
extracts from reports Of Mr.. Tyndall's Manchester
speech published in papers received by the last mail.
You also said that, "In too many instances his (Mr.
Tyndall's) words have been echoed by men who are
too vain and self-conceited to follow their leader to
the rear "Eyolutionist . is evidently one of this
sort, and seems proud Of the distinction.

Mr.. EDITOR: Since the weekly concerts by the
Band have again been given in Emma Square, the
old causes of complaint about the management Of
that spot of public ground are apparent. Why can
not the Minister of the Interior, or some one else
whose province it ia, place a person in charge Of the
Square who will see to its proper care and manage
ment for the benefit of the public Besides the nui-
sance of its being converted into a chicken ranch and
grass farm, a horse is sometimes to be seen ~pasturing
within the enclosure. Now instead of gates, there
should be turnstiles on each side of the enclosure 30
that horses cannot enter; and the place should be
cut up into graveled walks, aud not as now all grass
to the discomfort of ladies who must walk over it,
sometimes after q recent shower. n.

RusKIS's LAsT--FOOD ADULTERATIoN.--Ruskin Is
unquestionably the most eccentric literary man Of
note in England. He has written on art. with enc
insight and with the enthusiasm which helongs 70
strong Convictions. He has also written on potiiE
cal economy, a subject On which be is mover likely
to be accepted as an authority. A certain frank
egotism pervades bis writings. which Is more anus
ing than offensive. He evidently feels competent
TO grapple with any question, whether artistic, po-
liticai or sociological, and gives of-band judgments
on whatever problems are submitted 10 him with
the air of an amiable oracle. The last subject
that has his attention is that Of the adult
Grafton OF food. which IL declared to be almost
universal all over Europe as we'll as In tins United
States. Rnskin has been looking into this matter,
studying IL up and consulting eminent chemists In
regard to it. Having become convinced that
almost every article sold at the groceries was more
or less adnlterated. and that tea was especially
subjected 70 manipulation, be proceeded 10 start a
taa-shop where the public might obtain the genu-
inc herb. or course he does not propose to stand
behind the counter in propTid persona. He has
put q lady In charge. II is stated that the sab
scribers to his last VOLUME. the " FOfs Ciaeigsra.n
have received with their copies a card bearing the
name of Harriet Tovey. tea aud coffee dealer,
20 Padington street. Portman Square" with q
written statement Endorsed upon it TO the effect
that q Mr.. Ruskin's object in setting up this shop
is. that the poor round about may be able 10 get
their tea and coffee pure and unadulterated." The
object is certainly an excellent one the practical
question is whether the eccentric artenthusiast Is
exactly the person to carry II out e1ectually.

Recipe.

We give q recipe for keeping the times hard.
Let everybody talk depressingly. When any
one fails in business, put it in all the papers. Let
business men keep up perpetual complaints. Let
US have occasional editorials melting bread-riots,
and political speeches on the wrongs Of the labor
ing classes. Let everybody prophesy a hard
winter, a very hard winter, an awful hard winter.
Let US all talk down, instead of up. Let us talk
no account of the fact that -four is cheap, and that
the harvests are large, and that God is good. We
shall in this way be able to take another faggot
from the poor mans hearth, and knock another pane
of glass out Of his window. and hinder the manu-
facturer from employing him. All together, now
ministers, editors, capitalists, and laborers let US
give a long, deep groan, and keep it going till next
spring. and the times will be as hard as we could
reasonably experimentation at Work.

THE LATEST IN WGTcHEs.-A correspondent O.
the London Hornet says: Let me tell you Of a
few new watches which are to be the fashion next
year, and which / Saw, in their man factnred aud
manufactured state, at Geneva not many days
ago. The great" style Of the moment is the
Louis XIV. watch, both for ladies and gentlemen.
These, in their ornamentations are inflated from
those which were in favor at the Court Of frances
Sardanapalus. They certainly are most exquisite
in workmanship, and / doubt whether any courtier
of the reign OF Louis XIV. ever wore so beautiful O
jewel as these watches which are now made. They
find immense favor already In Russia, and form q
part Of almost every bridal corbeiIs, as II IL the
custom at st. Petersburg for a f1nce 10 present a
watch to bis fdncee either on or before the wedding
day. / was much interested in looking at the
rows of Louis XIV. watches, aud seven-Iires watches
no bigger than an English ~sixpence, and another
little marvel called the zodiac" which Is the last
novelty OF The hour, and as I'm told that IL has not
yet made its appearance in England I will give our
ladies a prime by describing il. Firstly, you must
imagine a little jeweled bell. which may be hung
round the neck as a locket II wished. Under the
locket hangs a crystal globe, II You wish 10 see
the hour you take the bell 10 your bands, turning
the crystal globe upwards then the globe also
turns and discloses the face OF the watch. which
resembles in shape a " zodiac" according to its
name. 1t is woand up by little flower at one
side of the bell covering. Nothing can be more
perfect, nor prettier, than this little gem, and its
cost is only $50 francs !--G6-er

To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
SIR: In the HatOaiian Gazette of the Both De-
cember, 1 observe an item respecting the native
newspaper, the Lahui HaVaif, in which is an asser-
ton which is untrue, to the effect that the young,
the rising generation of the Hawaiian people, are
growing up in ignorance of religious teachings. do
not undertake to write the English language, but
can read and generally understand it.. I wish to re-
ply to this false-witness bearing newspaper the Ga
Setie, and it's wrong-htaded editor, and to correct the
false impression that our foreign friends may get
th~erefrom, and therefore [ ask you to insert the fol-
lowing in your columns, from the Lohui Ha tcaii
"Mr. Editor-In the Hatoaiian Gazette is a state
ment that the rising generation are growing up in
ignorance Of religious teachings I distinctly deny
the truth of this statement. Throughout all portions
of the Kingdom, there are to be found the teachers
of the different denominations Of the Christian Re-
ligion-the Roman Catholic, the English Episcopalian,
and the Protestants, or Observation-Disclosures
there is no lack Of instruction afforded for the rising
generation. The young were never better provided
than now with religious instruction, and yet the Ga
zette presumes fippantly to assert the contrary. 1t
would be well for the editor of that paper to repent
and try to make some amends for this SANDER against
the nation. NJ"
