The Crime Of "Burking.c


On the 29th of November, 1927, an
old man by the name of Donald died in
West Port, one of the purlieus of Edin-
burgh. He lodged with an Irishman
named William Hare, and died owing
him four pounds. His creditor saw
but one way of reimbursing himself,
and that was by disposing of the old
mans body to the doctors. Hare found
a ready accomplice in William Burke,
another Irishman, and also one of his
dodgers. The body was removed from
the coffin, and bag of tanners bark
substituted for it. The lid was screwed
down and the little funeral went off as
usual. The same evening, Hare and
Burke stealthily lyrepaired to the university
and, meeting a student in the yard,
asked for the rooms of DR.. Monroe, the
professor of anatomy. The student
happened to be pupil of Knox's, and,
upon discovering their errand, he ad-
vised them to try Knox's place in Sur
geons' square. There they sold the
body for 97 10s., large sum for them,
and very easily obtained. They had
not courage to go into the regular bust
ness of body stealing and SO Hare, the
vilest of the two, suggested fresh stroke
of business, which was to inveigle the
old and infrm into his quarters and
edo for them" Hare started in search
of victim and, prowling through the
slums, met an old woman half drunk
and asked her to his house. He gave
her whiskey until she became comatose
and then with Burk's assistance straH
gled her. The body brought 910

and Burke was convicted, hanged ant

The Turkish InsurrectiOn.

All eyes are turned towards Turkey
now. The war speck is on the Eastern
horizon. The world is once more called
to look upon another of the long series
of commissions which have, for seventy
years, portended the demise of the
"Sick man." Herzegovina is herself
but small factor in this Turkish ques-
ton. She is important simply as repre-
senting the sympathies and aspirations
of the entire slave population of South
ern Europe. The province touches the
Adriatic and nestles close to Austria.
Its area is computed at about 6,191
square miles the inhabitants number
some 254, 900, of whom 100000 are Mo-
hammedans and LAT, 1000 Christians. Of
the latter 112, 900 belong to the Greek
and 35, 900 to the Roman Catholic church.
The inhabitants of Herzegovina and the
neighboring countries, Servia and Bosnia,
are, as a general rule, rude and rough,
as well as defiant and repulsive to
strangers. They are brave, bold, in
clined to plunder and cruelty, but in
their domestic relations are peaceful and
upright. They are, besides, industri-
GUS, temperate and splendid horsemen.
Such are the main features of the coun-
try and the distinguished traits of its
population. But the uninitated in the
present broil would greatly underrate
the seriousness of the outbreak if they
circumscribed its moral extent by the
geographical boundaries of the country.
Servia, Montenegro, Dalmatia, Bosnia
indeed, all the western dependencies
of the Porte-are animated, as far as
the Christians are concerned, by the
same spirit which impels handful of
mountaineers in Herzegovina to defy
the power of the Ottoman. Of these
the most important is Servia. While the
main ground for the revolt is given as
caused by Turkish misrule and extor-
tions, there are other causes. 1t would
be difficult matter to give the real
measure of the rancor mutually enter
tanned toward each other by the Chris
tan and Moslem. The feeling between
the two is most bitter, and it is this
feeling which is expected to keep ur
the revolt and make the strife long and
bloody one.

The Conductors.

An exchange has the following article
relative to conductors and their treat
ment:
1t seems strange that corporations
have SO little faith in q certain old-fash-
ioned contrivance for securing fidelity in
their servants, called kindness. There
is no patent on it. 1t has no bell attach
ed to it. 1t makes no noise, and was
never counterfeited. But after millions
of trials for thousands of years, it has
stood the test and has never been i'm
proved upon. The conductor on a
street-car works fourteen hours day,
exposed to all weathers and his work is
always hard and peculiarly wearing. For
this labor he gets from two to two and q
half dollars, and the privilege of being
considered thief, subjected to insult,
watched by spies, searched. thrown into
prison without evidence, pitched out OF
employment at any moment on mere
surmise. If he refuses to give some.
thing to the driver, the latter rewards
his virtue by dropping hint, and if he
neglects to fee the starter he loses his
situation. Yet there have been conduc
tors who belonged to excellent families
men of education who have been unfor
tunate and have gratefully consented to dc
the work sooner than tend bar or beg
men with families have been glad tt
earn fifteen dollars q week in this way
rather than nothing. But whoever ha'
tried it has had the iron driven into hi
soul by the sheer inhumanity of the
corporation that employed him. What
ever may have been his character, ant
however excellent were his antecedents
lie was treated as thief from the start
and everything was done to make hin
one. And finally the punch was resortet
to as sort of chain and ball to advertis,
his guilt. A little human kindnes
would reverse the whole order of things
and secure conductors who are homes
and would keep so. And it does no
cost SO much as punch either.

Detectives at Fault.

A writer says: 1 saw an experiment
tried in New York. A well known Grim
inal lawyer of that city made a heavy
wager that his daughter, who was abso-
lutely unacquainted with the appearance
or character of the habitues of the hotel,
would pronounce upon their moral and
social standing more accurately than the
best detective that could be found. The
trial actually took place in the presence
of several gentlemen, and her opinions
of character were marvelously correct.
The officers were as marvelously er-
roneous.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1875-09-18

What kind, benignant expression
came into the old gentleman's eyes as he
replied:
elf Kate loves you, you can marry
her. only ask in my son-in-law sterling
worth, and 1 believe that you possess
that. care not for money, landed es-
tates, or whether blue blood or plebeian
flows in your veins."
at is worth makes the man,
The want Of it the fellow
1 lost no time in finding Kate and tell
ing her the old, old story, and when ]
had finished she looked up and said:
"Can you trust me now9 have
been so very, very wicked !"
Trust her No angel from heaven
would have seemed purer-and so 1 told
her. Anybody looking into my home
to-day and seeing my bonnie, happy
children, would know that she had moi
belied that trust.
My sign, "David Moss, Attorney and
Solicitor at Law" hangs out once more

GUTDHALL VERMONT SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 49,

that Oldtown is startled-even shocked.
Oldtown is of funereal turn of mind.
He does not think of preparing sermon.
He has so much to say-his heart so
burns within him, that the Sabbath day
seems all to short. There is not a word
of theology or the old Jews in it either.
It is the homelist sort of talk. But
when they come out of church every
body stops TO snake hands and exchange
a hearty greeting. 1t is as if they had
been somewhere with the fresh wind
blowing, and the sun shining, and God
himself near at hand. Tribune.

Pencils for Eyebrows.

Says a Saratoga correspondent: In q
previous letter have already alluded to
the prevalent fondness for painting-I
mean painting on that natural canvas of
fair, soft cheeks and rosy lips, which [
think were never intended to be touch
ed with artificial colors. The habit has
no doubt given rise to great industry
which is now fourishing in Saratoga, and
which is by far the most important and
extensive 1 have yet observed here. My
attention to this great Saratoga industry
was called by the remarkable labels on
certain little elegant cases displayed at
the most handsome shops, and are to this
effect (listen, oh gentle shepherd long
ing for thy Saratoga shepherdess):-
Pencils for the eyebrows
Pencils for the lips
Pencils for the eyelids
The pencil trade is fourishing so vigor-
ously that these pencil cases, with the
above significant labels, are displayed
almost everywhere. Wherever you cast
your eye you are reminded by them Of
the deceptive character of much of Sara
toga's beauty. Far be it from me to say
that there are no women here who de-
spise these repulsive, these sickenine
devices of a morbid vanity. There are
many of these, women who depend fol
their roses ON nature alone and healthfu
activity, and rational modes of life. ]
must add, in justice to the Saratogt
pencil trade, that there are no pencils
for the nails, nor are there any for the
ears. This deficiency, understand, il
soon to be supplied by an enterprisint
pencil manufacturer.

Sleep.

When to soft sleep We give ourselves away,
And ina dream as In fairy bark
Drift on and on through the enchanted dark
: = To rosy daybreak-little thought we pay
To that sweet bitter world we know by day.
We are clean quit Of it, as is a lark
So high in heaven no human eye may mark
The sharp, swift pinion cleaving through the
gray.
Till we wake, ill-fate can do no ILL.,
The resting heart shall not take up again
The heavy load that yet must make it bleed
For this brief space, the loud worlds voice il
still, -...
No faint echo of it brings us pain.
How will it be when we shall sleep indeed
