"A boy named Hamill, In Baltimore,
died the other day from lockjaw, caused
by wound which he received in the
cheek three weeks previous, while playing
"catty." "Cmtty' seems TO be u iayorite
game with the boys, aud Is played by
striking the end OF small pointed stick
with larger stickor club, which makes
the small stick fly up, and before II reaches
the ground IL is again knocked In u way
similar ~ striking ball with bat. In
the case of Hamill the sharp point of the
smaller stick, struck by his playmate, en-.
tered his cheek, iniiicting slight wound,
which was not regarded as serious at the
time, until symptoms OF lockjaw de-
veloped.
THERE are so many people In all the
large cities who are out OF work that II Ia
worse than folly for country people who

J. J. Brewn, alias Eiwht.Finwered Jack.
]. J. Brown better known by his
alias. Eight-fingered Jack, Is a charac-
ter most familiar TO the detectives Of
this city.
Jacks existence sums up thirty-four
years, and the major part OF his life has
been spent In the Louisiana Peniten-
tiary. His career has been romance.
When first the detectives made his ac-
quaintance. Jack figured as q shrewd
confidence man; when next discovered,
a burglar; he then dwindled down to a
sneak thief and pickpocket, and was
always ready to do any job that would
remunerate him for his trouble.
Although jack is but thirty -four years
of age, life seems to have hung heavy
upon his handsand stamped his worldly
cares upon his brow, silvering his looks
and beard.
On Wednesday evening last Jack was
pulled and lodged In the Third Precinct
Station. Yesterday he was transferred
to the Central Station for his appear
ance before Judge Evans to answer the
charge Of having on the 27th OF July
robbed the barroom at the corner OF
Front and Lafayette streets, the pro-
prietor of which Is Nick Vogelsinger.
Vogelsinger tells doleful tale, but it's
short and sweet, how Jack came to his
house, drank him drunk, and then
tapped the till Of twenty odd dollars.
jack has been lying low, but the peel
ers found where he was hanging out
and Officer Miller pulled him, as stated.

THE UNION RIGHTS STOP.


Yesterday evening, at six O'Clock,
before Judge Lynch of the Superior
District Court, the case Of Triplett and
Turnbull, the Union Rights Stop OF
Baton Rouge, was called and, on mo-
ton Of attorney for the Sheriff OF East
Baton Rouge, the writ was dismissed
and the accused handed over to the
Deputy Sheriff Of Baton Rouge, who
took them up the river on boat leav-
ing in the evening; they were accom-
panied by one Of the deputies OF Sheriff
Fagan, the latter having promised to
see the prisoners safely incarcerated in
the Baton Rouge Jail, and without be-
ing molested.
The result Of the affair is due to the
impossibility of counsel for Triplett and
Turnbull to make out a case for thelr
clients after the filing Of the affidavit
made in this city before Judge Adams,
of the Fourth Municipal Court. the
grounds for the writ being based on the
original affidavit made in Baton Rouge,
through which they were arrested and
lodged in Jail here, and which was con.
siderod informal and illegal.

The Bulletin says the DEMOCRAT has
shown q disposi ton to poo-pooh Its
suggestion that Gen. Nicholls shall deny
the rumor that, after being elected
Governor, he Is to be sent to the Sem
ate, and says our comments on the
matter are calculated to give currency
to the story. We care very little
whether our remarks give currency to
the rumor or not. The rumor is very
foolish one, and is calculated to do no
harm. The Bulletin Is correct when 1t
SAYS the DEMOCRAT Is not In the con-
fidence Of Gen. Nichols. We are not
even personally acquainted with that
gentleman, but he is the candidate Of
our party, and we should very much
regret to see him lessening the con-
fidence the public have in his judgment
and common sense, by writing an epis-
tie to the Bulletin. on every nonsensical
or vicious rumor that gets abroad.
We will add that we do not believe
that there is particle ct truth In the
story, and that we never heard Of 1t
until we read Of it In the columns OF our
contemporary. &oa@ a5 1io -t.

Tt Is said that Lorenzo Dow said New
Orleans was nearer the gates Of hell
than any other place In the United
States" But times have changed since
then, and horse racing, cock fighting,
dog fights, cards and whisky, have been
moved farther north. In the possession
of pistols, bowie knives and clubs, the
North beats the South one hundred TO
one, and they have invented and added
razors and slung shots to the list Of legal
deadly weapons. In view OF these things
we inquire whether Elizabeth, New
Jersey, is the worst place in the world,
and whether 1t is the residence OF the
"wickedest" man? Whether that is the
location through which the spiritualists
communicate with the shades Of Ana
MAS, Judas Iscariot and Caesar Borgiaf
Either the newspapers publish false-
hood, Or our inquiry is pertinent. Not
q Northern paper OF any prominence
reaches US without an account OF daily
crime In this terrible place. The crimes
are Of all grades. and implicate all
classes. The clergy take full share In
swindling and seduction. Murder, In
fAnticide, abortion, robbery, burglary
and theftacofne In every paper, until
..ElizabetA, N. d." as heading, is the
precursor of crime. All the bad people
must immigrate to that place and con-
gregate there-they cannot be the nat
ural breed.

Is not entirely perfect. When our

with nothing that Is not perfect, nothing
that does not in every minute particular
