From the Chicago Journal, (Rep,)


Isn't Governor Beveridge doing little
too much pardoning? 1t is announced
from Joliet that his executive clemency
has been exercised in behalf of no less than
ninety-six convicts in the state penitentiary
since the first of last January, an average
of twelve month. 1t is alleged that Of
these twenty were murderers. We can
not conceive how such wholesale pardon
ing power can be justified
From the GeneSeo Republic, (Rep,)
The people look at it in that light. They
have been thinking for some time that
Gov Beverage is doing altogether toe
much in the pardoning line, and that il
would be better for society and himself
if he would let up little He has set free
good many desperate men that never
ought to be let loose on community by
the governor, and some people are anx-
ious to know why this is thus.

Four BUTTON KIDS. Then, after a
pause, he informed me of another way
they had of making the French horse
available. During the early autumn
months the rats appear about the prem
ises in tremendous numbers. They
would soon overrun the establishment
but for plan long since adopted, and
which not only rids the company of the
pests, but returns an income as we'll.
When Montfaucoon swarms with rats
the carcass of a horse is placed in room
into which the rodants gain access
through an opening in the floor contri~
we'd for the purpose. Al night the rats,
lured by their keennsss of scent, enter
the room through these artificial rat~
holes by thousands. While they are in
the midst of their feast these openings,
are closed and they are prisoners. Then
the slaughter commences. As high as
1000 have been killed in one room.
The dead rats are skinned, and the skins
are sold to Paris furriers for from one to
four francs each. Thsy are then made
up into -four button kids" and shipped
to the United States. s.-Poris Letter.

A New STORY BY MUHLBACH.-A boy
in st. Louis wasrecently presented with
jack-knife. with which, boylike. he
cut and marked everything that came in
his way, from tho dining room table to
the cats tail. A few days after he had
become the happy possessor of the knife
his father was startled by seeing two
men bringing home the yoHng youthful
in very dilapidated condition. His
face seemed to be cut and bruised and
covered with blood. The father, of
course, was very much alarmed, and in
quired of the boy who hit him, "Noth.
ing didn't hit me, SIR" the boy answer
ed between his sobs; 1t was only q
mule kicked me in the eye" "a mule
kicked you in the eye, eh?" replied the
father. "Havin't I told you thousand
times or more that mules and gunpowde
were not fit things for boys to fool with?
What were you doing to the mule?" II
wasn't foolin' with 'em at all, said the
boy; y was only tryin' to cut my name
on his back"

SCOTCH BANKING SYsTEM.-Under the
Scotch banking system notes are gen
orally used in business instead OF coin.
In 1857 the Western Bank failed In
Glasgow for an enormous sum. but it
was known that some of the stockhold-
ers were rich enough to make up all
the losses. Eventually, one family.
Bairds, the iron masters. paid in nearly
e4OO, GOO. and all creditors we're satisfied
in full. When the catastrophe ocurred
the other bankers dared not refuse the
Western notes; to do SO would have
been to destroy themselves, for had all
their own notes been presented. there
was not coined silver enough in the
country. and hardly enough spare coin
in the United Kingdom, to have met
them. Brought face to face with sud
den danger, they were compelled to take
the liberal course, because it was the
only wise one.

A PARoxYsMAL KIcK.-A curly
seven year old-boy OF the second ward
came dashing into the kitchen yester-
day, where his mother was ns4.1g bread,
and blurtedout:
MA, who's Beecher?'
'Beecher? you must say Mr.. Beecher,
Willie. Why he is famous divine of
Brooklyn. New York. Why do you ask
that?'
%. nothing. only while ago was
playing out by the gate and heard pa say
to Mr.. Smith that if the truth were known
there were good many Beechers about.
and he said they had both been in tie
Beecher business considerably Them
selves, and had been lucky at it. No
one had found them out. Mr.. Smith
laughed and winked at pa, and he said,
you bet.' Then pa said there'd be a
hurricane if you suspected anything;
pa looked down then and see me, and
slapped me, and told me to 60 into the
hou~e.'
The mother scratched the dough from
her arms and gave Willie dongh-nut
and sent him out to play. She then
stepped to the door and crooked her
finger at her faithless husband, who
came in as unsuspecting as lamb.
When ke was fairly inside the house,
she laid him quietly to rest behind the
