A Nice Question Of Law.

A singular and very interesting case
in the administration OF criminal law
has lust arisen in Ontario, Canada. Two
men named Young were convicted OF
murder and sentenced to be hanged In
June. Just before the day set for their
execution they oyerpowered their Jaller
and ESCAPED, While search was making
for them the court extended the day for
carving out the sentence to July II,
but when it came round the prisoners
had not been rearrested, and the otti-
cials neglected to fix another day. Since
then the Youngs have been captured,
and the time set for their execution hav-
ing passed, it is a nice question what to
do with them.
Some papers in Canada even contend
that the murderers cannot legally be
hanged, taking evidently the same view
of the matter which was taken not long
since by a man in Texas, who, finding
himself ordained in the warrant to be
hanged "between the hours OF ten and
twelve In the forenoon, set himself to
make a three hours dying speech and
confession.
There is not, so far as we are aware,
any Canadian precedent, but there are
certainly a couple of cases recorded In
the English books which cover the
point. In 1746 the brother of the Earl
of Derwentwater, Charles Radcliffe, was
convicted of high treason, but escaped
to France before the day set for bis exc
cution. He was subsequently taken on
board a French vessel and brought be-
fore the court of kings bench on writ
of habeas corpus, the record OF his con-
yiction and attainder being removed
into the court by certiorari. The attor-
uey-general prayed execution, but the
prisoner claimed that he was not the
person who had been convicted and SEN
fenced. To try theissue a jury was I'M
paneled and gave verdict adverse TO
Radcliffe, who was subsequently be-
headed on the day fixed by the court.
Twenty years later, in !765, three
murderers under sentence of death es-
capped from Maidstone Jail and were not
recaptured till after the day set for their
execution. They denied their identity,
but it. was thoroughly established, and
sentence was ordered to be carried out,
though the court did rot fix any day.
1t is altogether likely that the same
practice will obtain in Canada, and that
after the brothers Young have been
given hearing, and their identity has
been proven, they will be consigned to
the gallows they came so near escaping.

The Army of Tramps.

Last winter, according to an estiraase
made by q gentleman who has studleo
the tramp question, New York city alone
contained thirty thousand tramps. inns

turing interests, which has turned many
hitherto honest workingmen into hamps,

these. ten per cent. may obtain employ
ment sufficient to support them enough
this estimate is regarded as too hDerai);
thirty per cent. will seek refuge In minor
correctional institutions, and possibly
ten per cent. will be admitted into nos
pitfalls to recuperate after their summer
iourneyings. 1t is fair to suppose tnat
more than one-hah OF the new arrivals

pours in its quota daily. Ragged, dirty,
footsore aud weary, they are focking In
by scores and hundreds. New YORK is
their Mecca-the goal OF their winger
aspirations-their shelter against tne
chilling winds OF the autumn ana Ine
biting frosts of December. Each argues
to himself that in city OF 8. million
souls there must be room for one more,
and so this vast army-a motley corps
of unarmei Falstatian warrIors-come
tramping in. ..
By far the greater portion OF the
tramps seeking the cities in the winter
are trsmps from choice, who wouid
sooner beg than work, but fear to steal.
Some are thieves who tramp to steal, al
Enough keeping up appearances by beg
oino once in a while: The number ac-
tually in search of work (every man wiz
| tell you he wants q job If you ask him)
is comparatively small, and the idgltlVes
from Justice, who travel as far from raii-
roads, telegraph wires and large towns
as possible, are numerous. Another
class is made up of peddlers OF trlfies.
Their visits both in town and country
are almost as annoying as those OF the
begging tramps. These are cailed
"fsRirs." name which applies also TO
the lower grades OF travelling Snowman.
They differ from the other tramps 70 tSe q.
extent of paying their way most OF lne
time and never stealing. In the Wintef,
though, when confined to the cities
where their wares will not sell, they take
their places with their companloGs OF
the summer, and trough it" as best
they may. It is fair to say OF these men,
| however, that their crimes seldom , e4-
tend beyond dumping hotel bill or
"beating" a boarding house Keeper,
and these little failings are not unknown
among persons much higher in the So
cial scale.

How he Shot.

Old Daniel Boone strayed in upon a
lot of men shooting at mark, and rather
sneered at their work. They did not
know him, but challenged him for the
best two shots in three. Daniel blazed
away off. hand (there we're neither rests
nor telescope sights in those days., and
put ball exactly in the center OF the
powder spot. He fred again, and the
boys set up a laugh, for he did not even
hit the tree. Then he took more de-
liberate sight, and now they fairly
shouted-missed the tree again. Then
Daniel called them up to the tree, and
asked one of them to cut out his first
bullet. It was done, and there were all
three atop of each other in the one hole
made by tie first. And then the boys
stopped laughing.

"For one like me to wear"
So never at morn or evening
put my garment on;
1t lay by itself under clasp and key
In the perfumed dusk alone,
Its wonderful broidery hidden
Till many a day had gone.
There were guests who came to my portal,
There were friends who eat with me,
And clad in soberest raiment

1 knew that owned beautiful robe,
Though its splendors none might see.
There were poor who stood at my portal,
There were orphaned sought my care

But had nothing besides to spare;
had only the beautiful garment,
And the rsiment for daily wear.
At last, on fesst-dsy'e coming,

Iwould please myself with ths luster

Iwou,d walk with pride in the marvel
OF its rarely rich design.
So ont from the dust bore it

And fold on fold held it up
To the searching light of day.
Alas the glory had perished
While there in its place it lay.

Must seek for the use that seals
To the grace Of constant blessing
The beauty that use reveals,
For into the folded robe alone
The moth with its blghting steals.
