A remarkable burglar has been arrested
in San Francisco in the person Of one Hi
ram Vickery, an ex-conyict. His former
crimes consisted Of house-breaking in
Eureka, and the cllloroformipg OF women
while they were asleep, and then stripping
thesn Of nLglst-clotlles, leaving them
entirely nude. The e0ssssssassang Of these
crimes was the callse Of MS g0lEZ - TIE
Penltentiary. Since his release and uD 70
his late arrest in San Francisco he is known
to have stolen seven gold watches and
chains, three different lots of si;ver-ware.
a number of finger rings, and twenty or
tllirty other articles. and besides has been
shot and wounded twice. For such raS-
cal, simple confinement in a State Peniten.
tiary is too light punishment, and 1t is such
fellows that by long and repeated trans
greSStons, offer unaNswerable arguments
against the abolishment of capital punish

BABIES LEGs.-Bow-legs and knock
knees arc among the common defor1ni-
ties of humanity; and wise mothers as
sert that the crookedness in either case
arises from the afflicted one having been
put upon his or her feet too early in
babyhood. But Massachusetts, phv-
sician, who has watched for the true
cause, thinks differently. He attributes
the aforementioned distortion TO a habit
some youngsters delight in of rubbing
the sole of one foot against that of the
other; some will go to sleep with their
soles pressed together. They appear to
enjoy the contact only when the feet
are naked; they do not attempt to make
it when they are socked or slippered.
So the remedy is obvious; keep the
baby's solee covered. Knock-knees the
doctor ascribes TO different childish
habit, that of sleeping on the side, with
ole knee tucked into the hollow behind
the other. He has found that where
one leg has been bowed inward more
than another, the patient has always
slept on one side, and the uppermost
member has been that which has been
most deformed. Here the preventive is
to pad the insides of the knees SO as to
keep them apart, and let the limbs
grow freely their own way. All of
which is commended 10 mothers who
desire the physical uprightness of their
progeny.

An Historical Reminder.

It is an ungratefnl task to have to
remind the Democratic organs so many
times of their misstatements of tbs facts
of history with respect to the subject OF
corruption in office. They are horriied
as everybody should be, at the enorn1ity
of Belknap's crime; bnt in the excess
Of their righteous indignation they
grow suspiciously forgetful of impor-
tant facts in the past, and declare this
is the first Instance in which corruption
has been proved directly home upon
Cabinet minister. Il is not SO long
since thefts Of far greater magnitude
were committed by q Democratic secre.
tary of War, but that young men who
are not interested to forget it have
distinct recollection of it. FLOYD, Sec
Eetary of War during the
administration of Buchanan, stole the
enormous sum of $50. 900, in connex-
ion with the transportation contracts
for Joe Johnston's Utah expedition. and
was indicted for it. The Indictment, we
presume, IS still on file in the court
where 1t was found. The wer of the
Rebellion came on soon after it was
found, and Floyd went into the rebel
army, the natural thing for him TO do.
But Floyd was never impeached. Con-
gress was Democratic when his crimes
were committed and then the war
came on soon after the Republicans got
INTO power, and they c, uld not afford to
devote themselves to hunting down
single Democratic maIefactor, while a
halt million OF armed Democrats thun.
dered at the walls of the national capi-
tol. So FIGyd escaped, and Belkuap,
for lesser crimes, is promptly and prop
erly impeached.
While on this subject of corrupt cff-
Gals, it is not amiss to inquire of the
Democratic organs whether in their re-
searches they have overlooked Swart-
outs case. Swartout was the first fruit |
OF the Democratic system of civil SER
vice which has contaminated everything
it has touched. We speak of it as a
Democratic system, because it origina-
ted with Andrew jackson, q Demo- |
cratic President. Swartout was one OF /
the Vlctors to whom Jackson gave the I
spoils of Office, and he stole upon a
larger scale than anybody we recoIIect
reading of, with the exception of Dem
ocratic Floyd and Democratic Tweed.
We have no disposition to excuse the
eorTuptlons and indccencies Of the pres
ent administration Whoever would
excuse them is no friend either of his
country or the Republican party, for it
IS indispensable to the safety of the
souatry and the party that the just In
iignation of an honest people should
lind fuR expression, and that no excuse
should be allowed for acts which are
nexcusable. But we wish to remind
,hese extremely righteous representa-
ives and oracles of the unsullied De-
nocracy that decent respect for the
opinions Of that part of mankind which
reads a little would dictate q trife
more attention to the truths of history
u the commentaries in which the said
representatives and oracles have been
o fertile since the discovery of Belknap,s
lesinquencies. s. Exchange.

Pains the heart almost to breaking.
Many tear of wounded pride,

Il is an old German adage that s'more
people dig their own graves with their
teeth than with spades,'' p and verify it
would seem so if we would look at the
immense number OF dyspeptics, rheumat-
les and gouty individuals, creeping
through life in pain and wretchelness.
Yet it is next to impossible to induce
even thinking people to control their
apPetites, and to eat such things and at
such times as nature shows them is
necessary and right. DR.. Hall declares,
llnhesitatingly, that it is wrong to eat
without an appetite, for it shows there
Is no gastric juice in the stomach. and
that nature does not need food. and not
needing il, there being no fluid 10 ne.
ceIve and act upon il, it remains there
only to putrify the very Thought Of
which should be sufficient to deter anv
man from eating without an appetite
tho remainder of his life. IF tonic is
taken to whet the appetite, il is a mis-
taken course, for its only result is to
cause one 70 eat more when already an
amount has been eaten beyond what the
gastric juice is able to prepare. The
object to be obtained is q large supply
of food; and whatever fails to accom-
plish that essential object, fails TO have
any efficacy towards the cure of dyspep-
tic diseases. The formation of gastric
juice directly proportional to the wear
and tear Of the system, which is to be
the means Of suPplying, and this wear
and tear can only take place as the
result of exercise The efficient remedy
for dyspepties is work-out-doo work

proportion as it is agreeable, interesting
and profitable.
