DENS OF JUSTICE.

7Ae Alliance.
The city dailies reported last week what
seemed to be a most sad case, 1t was set forth
IN the reportorial evidence that gentleman Of
standing 60 high that his name was not to be
put down in print lest 1t might be tarnished,
had dropped into the gallery OF a tToledo :"
and had been relieved Of a sum Of money BY q
Temporary friend OF the Siren school. This
money may have been tn the vest-pockct Of the
noble citizen, and thus became an easy discoy-
cry and possession Of the temporary companion
of the lending gentleman, rs he was sitting un-
der the modern vine and fg-tree Of Chicago.
The money disappeared, and the daily papers
sympathized with the wcll-Known gentleman
that he had met with such pecunia1y loss,
Whether any concert was given FOR his relief We
have not heard.
This story reminds US Of the fact that almost
daily some gentleman from the homo circle d
in from the rural districts goes plubbcriug up to
some policeman to know II the man of blue and
star cannot find for him the $40 or $50 whicI,
Ihcodosia Aminta, or Julietta Maria, took from
nm, while siunber held fast his towering intel

whether these places should be called .sdz,x Of

Tue age there are reasons Why they should
wear the appcilation Of "deas of jttst!een OF
