Romance in LitigatiOn-The Helen
Jewett Tragedy.

In suit to eject the present holders
of some valuable real estate IN Chicago
the names of Richard p. Robinson and
Joseph HoXie, both deceased, are men
toned as among the former owners Of
the land in litigation. Robinson, it is
said, purchased the land--a parcel of $50
acres-fOr $1.25 per acre, from the
Government. This was in 1886.
He was a notorious character in New
York at that time. He was tried for the
murder of Helen Jewett. After his ac-
quittal he conveyed the hand to Joseph
Hoxie and went to Mexico. He after
ward secured Government position in
Texas, where he remained until 1859,
when he died"
In these few words the witness
summed up the career of the man whose
name is associated with one of the most
startling tragedies recorded in our city's
history. a few of the details of the
murder, of the subsequent excitement
and of the career of Robinson, will prob
ably be read with interest by the present
generation of readers

JOHN WILLIAMS, an unwilling soldier
in the British army, held three fingers on
a railroad track, and train cnt them
off. He calculated correctly that the
mutilation would disable him for the
military, but is surprised to learn that a
court martial will very likely sentence
him to more undesirable servitude.

1t Is a sad commentary upon our boosted
civilization that the women of our times have
degenerated in health and physique until
they are literally race Of invalids-pae, nerv-
Gus, feeble and back-achy, with only here
and there few noble exceptions in the per-
sons of the robust, buXom ladies characters
tic of the sex in days gone by. By Il very large
experience, covering a period of years, and
embracing the treatment Of many thousands
of cases Of those ailments peculiar to Women,
DR.. Pierce. of the Worlds Dispensary, Buffa-
10, n Y, has perfected, by the combination
Of certain vegetable extracts, natural spe-
cifc, which he does not extol as a cure all
but one which admirably fultills singleness
of purpose, being "a most positive and reliable
remedy for those weaknesses and complaints
that atiiict the women OF the present day.
This natural specific compound is called DR..
Pierce's Favorte Prescription. The follow
ing are among those diseases in which this
wonderful medicine has worked cures as If
by magic and with a certainty never before
attained by any medicines: Weak back, ner-
vous and general debility, falling and other
displacements of internal organs resulting
from debility and lack of strength in natural
supports, internal fever, congestion, intaM-
nation and liberation and very many other
chronic diseases incident to women not prop
er to mention here, in which, as well as in the
cases that have been enumerated, the Favor
lite Prescription effects cures--the marvel of
the world. 1t will not do harm in any state
or condition of the SYSTEM and by adopting
its use the invalid lady may avoid that sever
est of ordeals--the consulting of family
physician. Favorite Prescription is sold by
dealers in medicines generally.

WE were pleased to see, not long since, in
one of our exchanges, some pretty severe re-
marks addressed to several persons who, dur

cannot refrain from coughing had better stay

FOREIGN VESSELS ARE NOT SHELL
TIERS FOR MALEFAO TORS.

The refusal of the master Of the steamship
Alabama to allow the arrest of his sailors
charged with petit larceny was clearly in ex-
cess of his authority. The officers bearing
the warrant of arrest from Judge Longs
court were acting in pursuance of their duty,
and if the master of the Alabama had made vio-
lent resistance to force he would have been
liable to arrest, trial and punishment for re-
sisting the offices of the law. f. liza /
Foreign vessels in this port are not asylums
for harboring fugitives from justice. Captains
of such vessels cannot assume jurisdiction OF
offenses and crimes committed on board or
ashore. Warrants of arrest from the munich
pal courts of New Orleans run throughout
city limits, and whatever inconvenience their
execution may cause. they ought to be obeyed.
It is trick sometimes practiced by sailors.
on the eve of the departure of their vessel, to
get themselves arrested in order TO evade con-
tracts of service, expecting the ship to leave
without them and thereby enable them to
join other crews on pleasanter voyage or for
better pay. This does not seem to have been
Tie puTpUS6 VI tuo odlio1S AVN WIG dittoohA"'
If the facts are merely as represented the
master of the Alabama has committed q
serious offence, for which proper amends will
be required. Masters are, as a part of their
duty, informed upon the provisions of law
bearing upon these and similar cases; but
aside from the requirements Of law and the
established rules of comfy, good Judgment
and common sense must tell them that crimes
are properly punishable where they are COM
mitted, and that malefactor forfeits his right
to personal liberty until the penalty of the
law has been paid. 90
The position of master of foreign vessel
gives him no right to impede the execution
of the law. By his attempt to harbor, pro-
tect or conceal fugitive he becomes an &C
cessory after the fact, and is partaker in the
crime. as# ..-
The offsnse charged in this case may have
seemed trivial in the eyes of the master OF
the Alabama, being accustomed to deal as he
is with many rude samples of human nature.
But neither this nor the great inconvenience
Of delaying his ship or of sailing without
full crew, can excuse resistance to warrant
of arrest, issued for good cause and in pursu-
ance of law.
