P1cKPocKETs.-The New York TIL
bsane describes in this manner the mode
of operation of street car pickpockets
"Three or four pickpockets will stand on
a corner short distance from bank,
and watch until they see some one who is
known as the agent or cashier of a man.
ufacturing company enter the bank, to
draw money to pay employees. One of
the gang enters the bank Immediately
after and presents q bill at the counter,
asking to have it changed to smaller
bills. He closely observes where the
person whom they intend to rob puts his
money, follows him out, and indicates to
his companions where the money is
One of them then follows the agent to q
street car or other convenient place and
steals the money, sometimes by Sitting
the coat on the outside, and sometimes
by taking it directly from the pocket
in all cases leaving, if possible, the bank
book or pocket book still in his pocket.
The robbed man feels his book still in
his pocket, and thinks his money secure,
and by the the time he discovers his loss
the thief is far away. 1t takes much
greater skill to take money than to take
a watch, and only the most dexterous
criminals attempt it"

GOVERNOR TILDEN's RESIDENCE
"Burleigh" writes from New York to the
Journal a pleasant description Of the ell
egant private residence of Gov. Tilden in
that city. 1t is neither up town nor
down town. It is on the east side of the
city, and except in its immediate neigh
borhood, the location is not fashionable.
What is known as Gramercy Park, where
the governor lives, was formerly very
fashionable; but trade has come in like
a food, and turned the elegant mansions
into stores, boarding houses, restaurants,
and tenement fats. But between Third
avenue and Fourth there is little oasis.
The park is one of the best kept in the
city. The tall iron fence is radiant with
gilf, and shines in the sun as if covered
with gold. Around this square costly
dwellings remain, and wealthy and FASH
ionable families live. Nearly opposite
Tilden's house is the James Harper man
sion. The Harper brothers almost run
against the governor as they come and
60. The governors house is brown
stone, four stories and basement, with
huge oriel window and everything
about it in the finest taste.
An old fashioned silver door plate
bears the inscription rs. j. Tilden."
The lot is kept in exquisite taste after the
English order. The rear is guarded by
an open iron fence, so that all the neigh
borhood can enjoy the ground. Huge
trees, more than a century old, throw a
refreshing shade over the lawn. The
grass is close shaved and rolled, and the
lawn is dotted with beds of flowers. The
walks are carefully rolled; the windows
are guarded by attractive awnings, foun-
tains play in the grounds and there is
not private residence in New York as
attractive and elegant as this house of
the Democratic nominee. There are no
children to muss things, and the whole
outlook is in applepie order. Personally
the governor is very popular, and IL
neighbor worth having.-Boston Post.

The HOTTEST MONTH FOR Sixty
YEARs.-According to records carefully
kept of trustworthy instrument hang
ing in a shady place, and not exposed to
reflected heat, the month just closed was
the hottest we have had in New York for
nearly sixty years. The mean indicated
was S0.1S degrees. The nearest approach
to it was in 1866. 1twas then 78.70-1.A
degrees lower The lowest mean since
1S45 was in 1867, which was 1888 degrees
"a difference of 7.85 degrees. Unit! the
22nd ult. the mean temperature was above
80 degrees, except on the LIST, 9Th and
10th, and was above 20 degrees till the
3Oth. On the 9th the maximum was 100
degrees, and on the oath the minimum
was 81 degrees, range of SO degrees.
Rain fell on thirteen days. On the 30th
and 31st 2.45 inches. Heavy showers
fell on the 11th-in all 2.9 inches. The
mean temperature for twenty-one years
(1855-75) was 74.64 degrees; last month
was 5.54 warmer. The mean in this city
for forty-three years is 53.14 degrees

with threats of death itself if they dared
to vote the Dc .nocratic ticket. And
when he heard the bold announcement
of the Democratic party that they would
protect any negro who chose to vote with
them, he saw that the spell of Radical
intimidation would be broken, an that
nothing could restore his power and in;
huence with the negro but the United
States army. And, hence, his tears Of
supplication for troops. He said in his
message to the Legislature, that "he was
constrained to call upon the national
government for assistance" What con-
straint was there, and what constrained
him? Let him answer if he can. The
refusal of the Attorney General of the
United States to furnish him troops for
mere party purposes proclaimed to the
world the illegality of his demand, and
that even a Republican administration
perceived the falsity of his statements

A TERRIBLE DEATH.
The Fall of a Toledo Man Over
Precipice at Niagara.

A Toledo excursion party visited Nj
agara on Sunday. Among them was
Hermann Weigel. About 4:3o in the
afternoon Mr.. Weigel, his wife and
number of Others were standing on the
brow of the hill, just above the Clifton
House, on the Canadian side. At the
point where they were standing there was
sheer fall of something more than
eighty feet from the ground to the river
banks. Mr.. Weigel was standing very
close to the edge, looking down to the
river below. His wife stood just behind
him, and had hold of his coat. She was
frightened at the manner he stood, and
telling him not to stand so close to the
edge, gently pulled his coat to have him
come back. Mr.. w. replied that she
need not be afraid; he was all right and
would not fall, at the same lime giving
little jerk to get his coat out of his wife's
hands. The jerk was too nach; he lost
his balance and fell headlong over that
frightful precipice, striking on the sharp
rocks, eighty feet below. For an instant
the little group was dumb. Not thing
could be done, so hcrrifed were they at
the dreadful calamity.
Finally one of them mustered up cour-
age enough to look over the bank, and
he saw the unfortunate man lying on the
rocky shore beneath. The news of the
accident spread like wildfre, and in a
few minutes the bank was crowded with
people. Just then Patrolman Dan Sui
Ivan, who was with the party, came up,
and hearing what had happened, started
at once to get the remains before they
were carried off by the water. With the
assistance of a gentleman who resides at
tie falls, Dan started on his dangerous
trip down the precipice, which was az
perpendicular as wall. Here he could
put his foot on piece of shelving rock,
there he caught little shrub, and once
he dropped about four feet into small
sapling, which bent with his weight
Above him stood the friends with bated
breath, expecting every minute to see
him dashed to pieces by the rock. But
slowly and steadily the intrepid officer,
who knows not what fear is, descended
until he reached the bottom.
Only o short distance from the waters
edge was all that remained of Hermann
Weigel, who but few minutes before
was alive and well. It seems that when
he fell he struck his head upon sharply
pointed stone, which crushed his skull
and killed him instantly. The body was
fearfnlly bruised and mangled.
Turnkey Stein, after Sullivan had ar
rived at the bottom Of the precipice,
lowered rope, which was fastened
around the lifeless body, and it was slow
ly drawn up to the sad crowd above. A
wagon was in waiting and the body was
placed in that and taken directly to the
train, which shortly afterward left for
Toledo, arriving here this morning. Sui.
livan had hard time getting up the
side of that wall of stone, barely getting
to the train before it started. At first
some of the residents at the Falls object
ed strenuously to the touching of the
corpse until the coroner had been called
upon. Their scruples were finally
overcome, however, and the saddened
excursion party mournfully returned
home.-Iolsdo Blade.

WHY ARE so MANY OF THE NEGROES
CONC CRAZY Scarcely a week passes
but some crazy negro is brought to Griffin
for confinement. Twenty years ago some
idiots were found in this race, but who
ever heard of one going crazy? It has
now become a fearful epidemic, and the
.philanthropic are made to feel for them,
and naturally enquire the cause, that the
remedy may be found and applied. 1t
seems from the rawlings of those we have
seen that their mania is their religion.
We venture the opinion that miscon-.
ceived ideas on the subject of future rei
wards and punishments, the salvation of
the soul and the practical working Of re
ligion, have first made them fanatics and
then lunatics. They have been falsely
taught and made to believe that wild
excitement is true religion. Their pas
sions have been wrought upon instead of
their minds and hearts. They spend
from four to ten hours in their worship,
which consists principally in alarming
and fanatical appeals that would be sac
rilegious to the calm Christian mind.
The most of this time is spent in unearth-
ly screams, antic leaps and grotesque po-
sitions that SAVIOR more of madness than
religion. The nature of the race is very
susceptible to sudden excitement and
great superstition, and they are drawn
headlong into insanity.
The remedy is to teach them the truth
in; soberness. This is the only remedy.
This idolatry is on the increase, and its
results are being fearfully felt and seen
in more forms than one. We appeal to
the ministers of all denominations in the
city to form themselves into a missionary
board, and arrange a system by which
the colored people can have q sermon
from one of these ministers at least one
Sunday in every two weeks. To preach
to them the truth, labor to keep down
their ranting, to dismiss them at the
proper hour and insist on them returning
Immediately to their homes, calmly and
quietly, to ask. the colored preachers to
adopt the same system, and we think the
greatest good can be accomplished. The
colored people will doubtless receive the
preacher gladly. We owe it to them, we
owe it to the cause of Christ, and we owe
it to our common country. Are our
brethren willing to take hold Of this
missionary work, or give suggestions for
better plan to do the good in this field?

guide to economy and prosperity, and
the practical lesson will be that nothing
good can come out Of party born in
hate and grown up in corruption.
THE ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
The session of Congress which has just
been brought to close was one of the
longest, as it has proved itself one of the
most interesting that the country has
ever witnessed. More important work
has been accomplished than during any
similar period of Grants administration.
The frauds of his government have been
exposed, and the infamous characters OF
his chosen captains have been laid bare.
In financial matters it has been con-
tinuous and hotly- contested struggle be-
tween Democratic House on the one
side and Republican Senate and Ex-
ecutive upon the other; the former de-
termined, by every means in their power,
to reduce expenditures to as near their
proper standard as possible, the latter re-
solved, at all hazards, to retain as much
of their accustomed spoils as they could.
Several of the most powerful and noxious
combinations ever formed for the purpose
of plundering country and devastating
its fairest sections have been broken up,
and their power for evil destroyed, and
one at least of the dishonest departmental
chiefs driven from the position which he
had abused and disgraced. Thirty mil.
lions of money has been taken from the
burden of our taxation. All this has
been done by the Democratic House Of
Representatives, Notwithstanding that
the whole force of the Republican Senate
was opposed to it at every step of its
progress. Not one instance can be
brought forward throughout the whole
session in which any aid was afforded by
the Senate in the good work that has
been accomplished. This will give us
some idea of the manner in which the
best interests of the country will be
studied and promoted when Tilden is in
the Presidential chair, supported by a
majority in each branch of Congress.
