A Use for Runners.

The New York ZEnees says It is common for us to say that the vast spaces of this continent cry out for la- borers; that the country is lying waste for want of men to come in and occupy. Many of the Western States organize costly machinery to induce immigration. They send to Europe to intercept in tending immigrants, and offer induce ments to unfx the minds of hardy peas ants who would otherwise be contented with their lot ill the old world. Yet here in New York, where all the lines of travel, industry, and information center, thousands of stalwart men idle away the long summer and shiver through the winter. We do not pretend to offer any explanation of this anomaly. We can only point out its existence, and ask why, in all the range of humanitarian beneficence, something is not done to correct it. It must needs be, we sup pose, that drones shall exist. There are few families so alert and self sustaining that they have no "lame duck," nc weak brother," to be carried along by the rest. But the weak brothers-the " dead-beats' of our society-increase very rapidly. The sight of numberless lounging- places filled with habitual loaf CTS is not wholesome or encouraging. We are already beginning to wrestle with the problem of pauperism, which has so long puzzled our relatives across the Atlantic. With our lax form o1 police government and imperative va grant act we have an element of waste disorder, and possible crime that needs early attention. Some of these pool fellows who lodge on park benches and hay bales may be rescued from lives ot mendicancy or wickedness. Some are clean gone ill shiftlessness. But the whole mass is a nuisance and an offense The safety of society demands that ii be abated.

A MUddlAG Case.

A singular case has just come to light in Wisconsin. A young man giving his name as Corrigan borrowed $500 for 8 year, giving first mortgage on farm as security. A fewmonths after making the Joan mentioned, he applied for an other loan, this time for $500 for sixty days. The abstract was brought down, and the money passed over. When due he paid it. When the first mortgage became due, Corrigan asked that he be given time as his money had not come. The favor was granted. When the day came the lender was not little surprised to learn that the man who had borrowed the money was not Anthony Corrigan at all that his name was Thomas S. Cor rigan, and he was at that moment under arrest at Waupun, charged with forgery. Sheriff Klotz went to Waupun, secured the forger, and returned. With the officer and prisoner came old MT Corri- gan and daughter. As matter of course the father and sister were in great distress when they found out the true state of things. They were willing to go to almost any extent if by their efforts they could bring about areform in Tom This was not the first time he had been in trouble. The young man who had almost broken the heart of his mother, who had brought sorrow to his aged father, and filed the eyes of his noble sister with tears, seemed repentant con- fessed that he had done wrong, and promised never to transgress again. The young man was given one more chance to redeem himself, the father ratifying and confirming the use of his name, and executinga mortgage bearing the same date as the forged one, and for the same amount. The young man ad- mits that the parties from whom he got the money were wronged, and says that every dollar was to be paid by the party for whom he got it. He claims that for 8 long time his mother had wanted to send money to Ireland to bring some get it from his father, so she got the deed from the trunk and told Tom, who seems to be ."mother's boy,' to borrow the money and mortgage the farm, and when their relatives came they would pay it back, the mortgage would be taken up, and the old gentleman would know nothing about it. He says he got $1, 100 in currency, bought gold draft at Milwaukee, and sent it to Ireland, as his mother wished, and the relatives came on, and are at his fathers house at this time. He says he has been arrested before because parties holding his fathers note would suddenly learn that his father could not write. Thomas thinks that if he had wanted to play rascal he could have made bigger haul than $1, 100, for Anthony Corrigan is good for $2O,0OO and that he would not have remained here, liable at any day to arrest for State prison offense. Thomas saws he is worth AS. GOO. @~

Good Dog, Ready.

The London Times relates the follow ing true story, which will be placed to the credit henceforth of Newfoundland dogs: Three boys and little girl named Minnie Jordan were sitting upon the parapet of the Thames embankment, be- tween Waterloo and Hungerford bridges, when sudden gust of wind blew one of the boys on to the pavement and the girl into the river. A cry for help was raised, and a gentleman who was pass ing slipped the collar from his New follndland dog, lifted up the animal, and coolly dropped him into the water. The child at that mement rose to the sur face, and the sagacious brute turned his head in her direction, seized her by the collar of her cape, and, directed by his master, swan with his little burden to the adjacent stairs. The gentleman call ed a cab, placed the child in it, and drove off to the Enden street baths, whence the girl was taken home little the worse for her immersion. The owner of the dog refused to give his name, but observed that the dogs name was Ready

The Lash in Canada.

x James Warren was sentenced at To- aro1,to to three months' Imprisonment and forty lashes, to be delivered in two patches of twenty each, for the crime of rape upon a little girl. The prisoner re- ceiyed the first twenty lashes. A little after nine o'clock the triangles were erected in the central hall, aud at half past nine the prisoner was brought from his cell. He walked into the hall withsa firm step and removed his coat, waist
 coat and shirt, and stepped to the trian- gle. to which he was hung strapped, so that it was impossible for him to move Q limb. The prisoners were then called in and ranged round three sides of the hall
 There were present the sheriff, the dep uty sheriff, the jail surgeon, and the re- porters of the morning papers. The sheriff took the cat, which consisted ot nine lashes of whip cord, each having knot on the end, and handed 1t to the executioner, who was one of the prisoners of the iail. Time was given by the sher- if, and the turnkey was stationed as counter. The executloner showed some nervousness, but on receiving encour- apement, struck the first blow upon the prisoner's shoulders, high up and close to the leather collar which was placed round his neck. The second blow, which was delivered with the full strength of the executioner's arm, fell ill the same place. and the executioner, who now ap- peared to have full command of his bowers, delivered the third blow ln the same locality. The sheriff here whis- pered to him to strike lower, and the next blow was given below the former ones. The fifth was given still lower, and the sixth was: struck in the same place. Up to this the prisoner remained silent, but his heavy painting showed that he was suffering severely. On re- ceiving the seventh stroke the prisoner moaned. and he continued moaning dur ing the rest of the punishment, and kept owing his head from side to side with onick mechanical motion. His sufferings were intense, his muscles were dlstend. ed, and he struggled to free himself from the iron grip that held him to the triangle, as stripe after stripe of the cat descended upon his back. No cry es- caped his lips, but his agonizing moan showed what he was suffering, and when the turnkey announced twenty, h1s back, from the neck to the waist, was one llv1d mass, red, swollen and bleeding; every knot on the lash had cut into the pr1s- oner's back, producing 8 wound about an eighth of an inch in length. As soon as the punishment was over, the culprlt was released, and, trembling in every limb, he was led back to his cell.

Through all the Ages

of study and investigation which have marked the path of scientific discovery, one especially alluring object has tempt ed the inquiries and speculations of philosophers. It is what the wizards and witches of olden time, the jugglers of India, soothsayers of Arabia, Magi of Egypt, necromancers of Turkey and the Orient, and alchemists of civilized Europe have sought, but sought in vain "a vegetable non-poisonous elixir.
 which, by cleansing the blood, removing from the system all impurities, strength ening the nerves, the muscles, and the brain, and vitalizing every fiber of the system, should bid defiance to the cor roding hand of disease. Dr. Walker,
 of California, discovered an herb, the properties of which, if they do not en- tirely fulfill all the conditions above mentioned, have at least proved them selves efficacious i'll all of them; this herb Doctor Walker has made an in gredient in his famous Vinegar Bitters, which can be obtained of any whole sale druggist throughout the country.

The American Team.

Our readers will be interested to know the verdict of the Arnay and N0Uy Journal on the late victory, at Dolly mount. We, therefore, quote the fol lowing: This year our team shot It's best- Every man was in his place and doing all he knew. The result is shown in scores which do not vary nine points, the highest being 164, the lowest 156. There was no abnormal scoring, Major Fulton made more than one miss. But our lowest man of last year was our highest of this, and it may be said to the untiring efforts and self-control of Gen. Dakin we largely owe the decisive vic tory of 1875. The very close shooting of the team as body is owing to the personal control of their captain, Colonel Gildersleeve, and the effect of his exer- tions is plainly seen in the advance made by Yale from his practice score of l46 to his match score of 16O. Colonel Glider sleeve showed in this agen1ine genius for class teaching, by. attending prlnci- pally to his less expert members, leaving the first-class shots to take care of them selves. As 8 result we have team score that has never been approached at Wimbledon in the best years of the Elcho Shield contests, score that beats ours of last year, till then unapproached, by thirty-three points. The best aver age made in England was in 1871, when England took the shield for the second consecutive (sixth actuaD time, with an average score of 15O.4 .49 points per man in team of eight, being eighty four per cent. of the possible score. The next year the percentage fell to eighty-two, but the leading six of the eight scored BIO points, an average of 151.67 points. The American and Irish scores of 1874 both beat this with the respective aver ages of 1856 and 155.17. The beaten Irish score of 1875 shows an average score of 154 85 points per man, while the victorious American score equals 161. IF points per man out of 18O.
