Carrying Pistols.

Judge Rrady,o New York City suggests
a statute on this subject, and seems to have
faith that it would be useful; and although
we are less sanguiDe, yet the case is GER
tainly so bad that step should be neg
lected that any person entitled to judge be-
lieves will remedy the evil. Half the
murders are probably due to the fast that
the criminal has within reach so easy a
means to kill as the revolver in his pocket
and if there is any means that may prevent
this result by preventing the carrying of
revolvers it-should be tried 1t is proposed
to license persons to carry revolyers, and to
punish severely all who are found with
such weapons on their.persons if they have
no license. 1t is thought that, as the
authorities charged with the duty of
licensing would have the right to dis
crimi1ate, this would result in keeping SO
dangerous weapon out Of the shands OF
persons not known to have proper dis
erection; but we fear, on the contrary that
this law would become as much dead
letter as is now the old statute on the same
subject. which, apparently, the courts never

How a Case was worked un.


A certain bank kept losing money-only
small sums-yet the loss was constant and
mysterious. A celebrated detective was
called in. Let every one leave the
directors room" he said. Send in every
body, one by one, who has had chance to
steal" So the president. the cashier, the
tellers, the book keepers, and the clerk S
had private interview with the detective.
Every one in the bank knew the purpose of
the visit, and all but one were slightly
nervous and uncomfortable under the
searching questions of the chief, The last
who entered was the nephew Of the presi
dent. He walked in cool, unem barrassed
an Indifferent, and with an air that said,
proceed" He was dismissed as well as
the rest. The detective said not word,
left the bank, and in one week returned.
He had been shadowing the president S
nephew. In a clear, fair hand, was
written out the whereabouts of the young
man for the last six days, the company he
kept, what he drank, the hours he spent
on the road. his night orgies, and all bis
movements by night and by day. Nobody
in the bank knows to-day that the presi'
dents nephew was a thief, That hi:
health was not good, that he was travelling
in Europe, and that his place in the banl
was filed by another, was well known
The bank was saved from robbery, thu

from he Ie0f5a I'D Transcript
In one Of the cases lately decided by the
supreme court of this state, Chief Justice
Scott writing the opinion, it is held that
the provision in note that it shall bear 10
per cent. per annum, with 80 per cent per
annum interest after maturity, as liquidat-
ed damages for nou-payment when due, is
not usurious, and is 10 be regarded as a
penalty for not paying the note at matur
ity; that in the absence of fraud the col
lection of such penalty will not be enjoined
by court of equity. The Chicago Legal
Neoos says this is IN accordance with the
former decisions of the supreme court Of
this state 1t is quite common, now, to
insert in notes clause that they shall bear
a greater rate of interest than 10 per cent.
after maturity.
