BLACKMAILINC THE THIEVES.

The greed for money on the part Of the
detectives led to worse abuses for, not con-
tented with securing large rewards for the
discovery of stolen property, some of the
officers even descended to levying black kmail.
Indoing this the detectives were comparatively
safe; for, in the eye of the law, the tes:i-
mony of thief who has teen convicted and
imprisoned is not taken in contradiction of a
reputable citizen, or sworn officer of the law
However, it is earnestly believed By those
having intimate knowledge of detective life
that there have been men on the force who
compelled professional thieves to pay them
tribute for the immunity extended in not
arresting them for crimes not expiated. 1t is
also true that the men who were suspected
of these practices are no longer in Office,
though they are some ugly stories afoat
about some who are still on not duty. 1t is
quite certain that there have been detectives
on the force who were conspicuous for the
absence of arrests. One man for over FIVE
wears never went on the record as securing a
conviction, and he seldom even made an
arrest on his own responsibility, usual
" acting as the second Of some more
entcrprising officer. Yet he retired with
competency and owning considerable real
estate

Possible Mightiest Mechanical DisooY-
cry ever Made: -

John w. Kelley s new motor, of which We
selae time ago gave . brief aecOunt, Is being
put in train for practical operations in Phiia-.
delphla. Nothing Is known about the nature
of this motive power, except what the iuyen-
tor chooses to reveal. Hadeclares that with two
gallons ofWater he can generate force. enough
tosdraw a train of cars from Philadelphia to
San Francisco and back again He uses no
fuel, neither does he employ chemicals of any
kind, or electricity, or magnetic currents. Ii
is supposed that the force must be obtained
by the rapid decomposition of water into its
constituent gases, but he denies, as above
stated, using any of the customary. methods
for reaching that result. In the machine he
is now constructing. he developed, he asserts,
apressure of77,000 pounds to the square inch !;
and when 1t is remembered that the pressure
to which steam boilers are subIectedis seldom
more than 200 pounds to the square inch. the
enormous leap Mr. Kelley claims to make
with his new motor may be partially appre-
sciated. Ii is plain to tho meSnesf eompre>
hension that, should such an immensely
powerful servant be added to the resources of
man, steam engines and machinery would be-
come more antiquated than the stage, coaches

Cisco, Israel Corse, Hatch, of Fisk & Hatch,
and several Worcester and Philadepnia meu
and half dozen practical mechanics-have
seen his trials of the yet unfinished machine.

wonder, and given them confidence in the

Gen. Lees Quiet Humor in Admins

Tho following viii be relished By all
readers. It is inimitable, and was so good
that Gen. = told 1t upon himself.
{. One day. At Petersburg, Gen. Lee, who
never suffered a day TO pass without visiting
some part of his lines. rode by the quarters
Of one Of his major generals, and requested
him 20 ride with him. As they were going
he asked General - if certain work which
he had ordered 10 be pushed was completed.
He replied with some hesitation that it,wAs,
and General Leo proposed that they shonld
60 and see it. Arriving at the spot il was
found that little OF no progress had been made
since they were there a week before, and
General - was profuse in his apologies,
saying. that he had not seen the work since
they were there together, but that he had
ordered il to be completed at once, and that
Major - had informed him thatithad been
already finished. General Lee said nothing
then, except to remark, quietly, eve must
give personal attention to the lines." But,
riding on a little farther, he began to conn
pliment Gen. - on the splendid charger hs
rode. "Yes, sir" said General -, ''he is {,
splendid animal, and prize him the more
highly because he belongs to my wife, and il
her favorite riding horse.p "a magnificent

The Danger of Hurried Funerals.

In a populous city of Northern Italy, the
wife of distinguished jurist was seized with
epileEtic spasms, which to all appearances
ended in death. The physicians recognized
all the evidences of dissolution, her features
we're distorted, cheeks and eyes sunken, the
lips blue and bloodless, skin cold and flabby-
phenomenon which from hour to hour, be-
came more pronounced. Finally, even the
spots that usually precede decomposition were
Observed and, as the weather was very warm.
it was Thought advisable not to delay the
burial. The woman was laid in wooden
coffin and deposited in the family vault.
Those who arc acquainted with the arrsngs>
msnt of the Italian cemetaries know that the
individual cofins arc placed in inches, one
above another, somewhat as the folios are
arranged on tho shelves of library. The
inches are lined with marble slabs, hut left
entirely open. The vault itself, on the con-
trary, is securely closed by heavy wooden
doors. 10 such a niche the cofiu in question
was placed.
A year later, another member of the jurist's
family did. The following day he went him
self to the cemetery to see which niche the
new coffin should be placed in. When be
opened the doors the skeleton of his wife, en-
veloped in what remained of her shroud. fell
into his arms. a careful examination. re-
vealed the following facts The womao had
bnrst off the coffin lid, and then gone toitbe
door aud made an effort to force it open also,
but in vain. The double door would, of
course, tend todeaden.her cries, aud then the
guardian of the cemetery lived on the opposite
side of the inclosure. She must have lost
consciousness during her efforts toforce the
doors, for she had fallen against them, and
her habiliments had caught on one of the iron
fas,enings, and in this position she had finally
died. There was, however, abundant evi>
dence, everywhere in the vault of her having
beon conscious for a considerable length of
time. SEX

EATING WHEN Sickle is a. custom
among certain class of people, when a mem-
bor of tho family is sick, to begin at once to
ask, ''now what can you eat ?'' Every one
has heard the story of the man who ate eigh-
teen dumplipgs when he was sick On one
occasion, when engaged on the eighteenth, bis
son said, "Pa, give me piece ?'' "No, NO,
my son" replied the father. Go way, pas
sick" When young man has been snrfsited,
in season and out of season, until exhausted
nature gives away, and fever is coming on,
the good mother is in trouble. She anxiousIy
inquiries, "now John, Whist can youeat? sYou
must eat something. People can't Ike With
out food" Then comes toast and tea, etc.-
The stomach is exhausted and no more needs
stimulating, or food, then the jaded horse
needs the whip. What is needed is rest,
complete rest. Nine>tenths of the acute dis,
eases might be prevented By few days STAR
vation, when the first indications appear. i
don't mean complete abstinance in every case,
but perhaps piece of cold bread with cold
water for drink. Ifsueh policy we're generally
adopted what ruin would oVertake the med
