4 Warming to Criminals.

We should imagine that the terrible
death of Douglas and Moshcr at Bay
Ridge, Long Island, and the grisly sight
of their bodies lying i'll the Brooklyn
Morgue, would have u depressing effect
upon the gentlemen who belong to the
burglarious profession. Most undoubted-
ly i'll east-side saloons, and especially in
the bucket shops along the river front,
the circumstance has been discussed, ana
bar-rooms held entranced by the recital
of the dead heroes daring deed But
sudden stoppage of n career of crime as
theirs was stopped, is apt to rub the
tinsel off the idea, if it ever existed. And
there is no doubt that tawdry fascna-
ton Is excited over certain class of
people by the stories of felony written
with such rose-colored ink by Mr.. Aims
worth and others of his ilk. Only the
other day the police of Philadelphia
made descent upon cellar in which
were dozen or fifteen lads, constituting
Juvenile gang of thieves, each of whom
had been originally led astray by the III
huence OF the yellow covered romances
of crime. Perhaps Mosher and Douglas
began i'll this manner. However they
began, and however they have lived, it is
certain that they have given i'll their
death the most terrible emphasis to that
rather trite heading for a copy book,
I" Honesty is the best policy"

Prentice on Dueling.

The famous letter of the late Geo. d.
Prentice on dueling, and written in re-
sponse to q challenge he had received, is
how republished. In his letter the vet
eran editor said
Presuming that your notes are writ
ten to me with view to duel, may as
well say here that have not the least
thought of accepting a challenge from
you. 1 consider my structures upon your
writings entirely legitimate, and, at any
rate, the disclaimer that I have made
ought to satisfy you.
81 came here from distant State be-
cause many believed 1 could do some
thing to promote great and important
enterprise and as have reason to think
that my labors are not altogether in vain,
do not intend to let myself be diverted
from them. There are some persons, and
many, to whom my life is valuable and
however little or much value I may at
tach to it on my own account, do not
see tit ut present to put it up voluntarily
against yours.
"You may, for aught know, be man
of reputable standing, and disclaim any
refusal to meet you on the ground of
your not being gentleman but you are
not of the order of men whom 1 should
choose to fight, if fought at all. If you
were to kill me, you would kill a man
who is the support and stay of his family,
and who is extensively regarded as one
of the stays and supports of his party,
and as the possessor of some influence In
the affairs of the country ; but presume
that it is of no great consequence to any,
except your Immediate personal friends,
whether you die or live.
"I am no believer iIrthe dueling code.
1 would not call man to the field unless
he had done me such deadly wrong
that desired to kill him and I would
not obey his call to the field unless I had
done him 80 mortal an injury as to entitle
him, i'll my opinion, to demand an OPP
portunity OF taking my life. have not
the least desire to kill you or to harm
hair of your head, and I am not conscious
of having done anything to entitle you
to kill me. 1 do not want your blood
upon my hands, and do not want my
own upon anybody's. I might yield
much to the demands of a strong public
sentiment but there is NO public senti-
ment that either requires me to meet you
or would justify me in doing 80.
81 look upon the miserable code that
Is said to require two men to go out and
shoot at each other forswhat one of them
may consider violation of etiquette or
punctillio in the use of language with
scorn equal to that which is getting to be
felt by the whole civilized world of man.

and myself, and presume always shall
have. Yours most, ETC.,

Still, he was not Happy.

An uncle of Michael Hogan, of West
Troy, n. Y, died recently in Pennsvl-
vania, leaving coal lands valuedat So, ,000,-
900, to portion of which Michael is
heir. Forty years ngo Michael Hogan,
then twenty-one years of age, and an
uncle, the only survivors of a once nu-
merous family, come to this country and
adopted it as their own. Michael, a
hard working, industrious young man,
finally took up his residence in West
Troy. The uncle went to Pottsville,
Pennsylvania, or that vicinity, and after
laboring number of years, purchased
with his earnings large tract of land
Michael also saved money, and in the
course OF time laid by enough to start
himself in the grocery business, in which
it can be truthfully said he has prosperetl.
The venture of his uncle turned out to
be n most profitable one. The lands
purchased by him were found to contain
abundance of coal !; and by judicious
management he gradually increased his
earthly store until at the time of his
death, which occurred short time ago,
he was worth about $5,00O,000. Michael
received information from m attorney
that his uncle, with whom he had not
communicated for sixteen years, had
died, and that he was his only surviving
heir. Michael was not Mt all elated Mt
this announcement, and appeared rather
sorry in fact that such good fortune had
come to him, says the Troy Times. He
was getting old, he said, and would not
want so much money; besides he had
enough for himself, wife and daughter,
and the possession of the immense
amount mentioned above would only
bring trouble anu disgrace upon his
family eventually, as young people nova
days did not know how to spend money
AS we have stated, Michael is sober,
industrious man, and is every way worthy
of his fortune, which he intends to claim
Immediately. If he is sorry about this
little matter, he can turn it over to us
and we'll cheerfully bear the burden for
him

A Sad Sight.

1t was sad, sorry spectacle which
the passengers on the train from North
Adams to Cheshire saw, the Springfield
Rcpubiican tells us, and one not without
its lessons. The early comers to the train
were met by a man at the car entrance
who introduced himself as "John G.
Wolcott, of Cheshire, the clown, often
called the fool" He was a direct de-
scendant, he said, of old Oliver Wolcott,
one of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence, and 81 am not" he add
ed, ga Henry Ward Beecher or thief
or n robber l am only John G. Wolcott,
the drunkard." Alas, the poor fool-for
such rum had made him-and It was
true! This man in his patched trousers,
rusty coat and eminently drunken hat,
with naturally fine face, drawn into a
silly pucker, was John G. Wolcott, the
eccentric, talented member of the Berk-
shire Bar, and once quite well known rs
an effective temperance orator, going to
his Cheshire home from n North Adams
drunk. Alternately during the ride he
played the clown, addressed an imaginary
jury, or made faces at an indignant Irish
woman, who objected to his companion
ship when there were many unoccupied
seats about her. A while ago there was
a demand that he be expelled from the
Bar, but Wolcott very ably pleaded his
own case Mt Pittsfield, and the lawyers,
who are 10th to give up eccentric John
Wolcott," refused to cast him out. Once
n favorite student of the late Judge
Bishop of Lenox, John G. Wolcott dare
not now go out of town with more than
seventytive cents, It's said, above his
railroad fare, lest the temptation for
drink overcome him. He lives in q
slovenly way, with only boy for COM
pany, on the old "Wolcott place, and
this young man for whom Mr.. Bishop
predicted such bright career, years ago,
cannot now be trusted with the manage
ment of his own property. In his sober
moments he is yet lawyer of more than
average ability, and in the little cases
which are occasionally given him these
days he often displays much of his old
brilliancy and power. But the boys !"
now like to see cold John" as they call
him, drunk, and if he hasn't got any
money it is quite the fashion to treat
him. Especially is this true at North
Adams, where the train officials say they
have seen him fighting to get away from
his friends Q) who would persuade him
to make sport for them over another
train. And then John G.. Wolcott goes
home at last to act the clown to a car load
of disgusted, pitying strangers, reeling
off at Cheshire station to make faces from
the platform till the train disappears and
shuts him out, an unsightly nuisance.

A Curious SuiciJp.

The old story of room with a number
OF windows, one of which disappeared
every day, and the room gradually con-
tracted until it crushed its occupant to
to death, evidently haunted the brain of
despairing Partisan jeweler who re-
Gently committed suicide. The unlucky
Frenchman, inconsolable for the loss of
his better-half, became subject to spe-
cies of somnambulism. He was accus-
toned to wear gold necklet, one of his
late wife's favorite ornaments, and he
used to say to his friends that the neck
let daily grew smaller, and that his wife
was thus painlessly killing him, much to
his Joy. The fact was that the somnam-
bulist rose every night and went in his
sleep down to his instruments, knocked
off the link of a necklet, and put on the
fastening again. Next morning he found
the collar smaller, and, having no recol-
lection of what he had done, attribut I'd
the event to supernatural influence.
This continued for some time, when the
necklet grew so small that, in fastening
it on, the hapless widower literally gar
roted himself to death.

ENGLISH SCHOOL LAVA compulsory
education law, similar to that which is
now in operation in New York State, is
enforced in England. There is now a
novel difficulty in London in the way of
exacting compliance with its provisions
The holiday pantomimes and spectacles of
theaters employ hundreds of children,
and the pay is six shillings a week. As
the fine for parents who do not send
their children to school is usually but n
shilling, they pay it when brought into
court, as they are about once week, and
keep on breaking the law. Higher penal
ties are proposed.
