CRIME.

We noticed q few days ago the un-
necessary fiendishness aud brutality
which was growing rs prominent fea.

from San Francisco reminds VI that
our remarks might have been extended
to cover other crimes. Not only does
fantastic horror characterize our mod.
ern murder, but it Is = continually re-
curr1ng ingredient in every page of our
criminal calendar. Most Of our readers
recall the case Of Quin, who, in San
Francisco somo three years ago, was
hailed - the model monster. His
case, 1t now appears, is repeated, so far

A PICTORIAL Prophecy.

The New York Daily Graphic in its
issue Of the I'd inst, has q full-page
illustration representing the then ex-
listing phase Of the Beecher business.
A few days before the grievances OF
Mr.. White, on behalf of Plymouth
Church, has been made public by the
action Of the Church Committee. Mr..
White had complained that the silence
Of Bowen during the years Of scandal,
. silence which he could and should
break, was injurious to only Beecher
and to the cause of true inwardness; and
thereupon, in full c~onclave, the Beech
critics called upon Bowen to state that
which he knew. MI. Bowen's silence,
It was supposed, alike by the friends
and enemies of Deecher, would be
maintained. The great connubiator
himself knew of the terror to himself
that lurked in the memory Of the
silent one, aud sought to avoid the d.
rect question. But naught less would
satisfy his injudicious adherents than
pronounced war, and Bowen was de-
fed. And then the Graphic represents
sscene in the Libyan desert. A mighty
Sphinx with the features of Bowen, but
with eyes fixed on the unknown flu
ture, lies prone upon the sands. Be.
fore him is gathered a mighty throng,
with camels, and with ~lances, and
with all tho barbaric p%rofusion of or
nament of the East. The likenesses
are good. Many of the dignitaries Of
Plymouth are in the caravan, "Eliza-
beth" with disheveled locks and ter
ror-stricken face, is carefully guarded
in the distance, and the nervy old pa
triarch, mounted on q generously Ca
parisoned dromedary. leads the van,
and, with upliftsd hands, faces the
dread oracle. The story OF the picture
is thus told:
"a priest Of the tribe Of BENZ Eblis
dwelt on the Heights that tower above
the Orient River, and half Of his life
Was hidden from the people. But
Bowen the Sphinx lay silent en- the
desert, and the secret was hidden be-
hind his lips OF stone. Aud the peo-
pie said unto the Priest, 10! thy Sc
cret, Ia 1t not known also unto tn
Sphinx? Therefore we will ask it, that
We may know Then the Priest-f"r
vile was in his heart-said, Il will ask
the Sphinx and with his camels and
his women and his asses he went into
the desert, and said to the Sphinx,
HWhat is the north, and what is the
south?' And the people naurmured.
50 he asked with a loud cry, what is
the secret OF my lite?' And the Sphinx's
lips remained as stone, for the answer
would have been dsath."
Three days after the publication of
the above Bowen astonished the relig-
ious and curious world by his explicit
arraignment Of Beecher. The lips OF
stone opened, and the answer was
death.

1t is amusing, as well as instructive, to
see our Massachusetts, contemporaries with
drawing their attention from Vermont and
from the endeavor to show us how we are
wronged by our railroad managers, and en-
gage themselves in the business of white
washing their own railroad officials. The
sale of the Ware river railroad to the Bos-
ton and Albany was bitter pill, but they
made few grimaces, sugar-coated, and
swallowed it. The act providing for rail-
road commissioners provides that no one in
the employ of railroad company, or own
ing stock therein, shall be such commits
sioner, yet it transpires that Railroad Com
missioner Briggs is member of firm of
bridge builders that has carried on contract
work for railroads during his entire term
of office yet these same newspapers gulp
down the ugly fact, with the claim that this
does not make the commissioner in the en-
ploy of any Railroad company. His posi-
ton enables him to obtain better terms
from the company, does it not and is,
therefore, within the spirit of the prohlb-
ton, is it not If it had been Vermont
railroad oflicial-but, then, it does make a
difference whose OK is gored.

If a railroad can be constructed and
placed in running order from Rutland to
Bethel by the contribution, by the towns
on the line, of four hundred and fifty
thousand dollars as 1t is said, Rutland
could, as it seems to us, well afford to pay
and sink three hundred thousand dollars,
which would be her proportion. The in
creased valuation of her property would
alone make it profitable investment.
With the commencement of the construc-
ton, new impetus would be given to
trade which would increase with years and
make us wonder that we had not given our
attention to this matter years ago. II Is
idle, however, to talk of building this road,
or any other, without some self sacrifice on
our part. If We risk nothing, we gain
nothing. We understand that If Rutland
should move in the matter, other towns
would, as some have already, provide their
proportion. The only questions, as it seems
to us, for Rutland to decide are, will the
road be built If we contribute three hundred
thousand dollars and, If so, can we afford
TO give that amount outright for the con-
struction--that is, will the advantage be SO
great as to compensate for a gift of three
hundred thousand dollarsY The answer
to these questions must determine our ac-
ton.
