HANGED FOR a BET.
Pm HffH E7-<5fP


There are not wanting instances Of persons
who have hanged themselves, Or suffered them
selves 10 be hanged, from motives OF curiosity
or amusement. A remarkable case OF this de-
svript;on formed the subject some wears ago
one of those many curious Investigations VIII >-ch
have taken place from time to time at Bo "
street.
On April Is, 1872, two men we're charged be-
fore the Magistrates under the following curious
circumstances \ Constable who was passing
along Hampstead road on the previous evening e
observed stuut man six feet high hanging by
his neck from . lamp-post. having been tied
up and turned oil u just before by a.short
man. Tho o!licer rushed to the spot, and when
he arrived there the handkerchief by which
the tail man was suspended gave way
and he 1eli to the ground. HIS eyes were pro-
truding from their sockets, anil lie was nearly
"Conen; but. on recovering himself sufficiently
to stagger on his legs, lie Immediately struck
the officer so violent blow the nose as near
difficulty secured, when they explained that the
tail man who was being hanged Was simply pay
ing ~ debt vi l,onor.''
The two had been ttossing in the afternoon,
first Tor money, then for clothes: the tall man
having Won the others Jacket, trousers, and
shoes, they agreed to toss up which should hang
the other, The short man won the toss anu
forthwith proceeded to hang the tall 1nan on the
lamp-post. The tail man urged that had he
won thc toss lie would in like manner have as
surealy hanged the short man; but the afagis-
trates, expressing their horror aud disgust at
the whole story. sentenced both prisoners to find
bail for their good behavior. Not having bail,
they were committed to Brdcwell.

THE NEW COUNTY BOARD.


/ CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-1n December the newly
elected County Commissioners will qualify, and
assume the duties Of their Office. The public
! look to the Board rs it will then be constituted
| for complete revolution III the manner in which
] public business falling within their jurisdiction
slall be done.
Whether the new Board will succeed in crush
ing out the Ring will be apparent from what the
new Board does. and from what It and its Vari-
Gus members do not do.
/. County Commissioners should UNDER
stand at once, and should act upon the under
standing, that it is no part of the duties Of their
Office to distribute patronage. They should
understand thar, rs the Sheriff is responsible
to the public for the faithful and honest dis
charge Of the duties Of his office, he should
have the entire control over the appointment Of
his deputies and his bailitfs, that the County
Commissioners have no business to interfere
with him IN making those appointments; in
short, that the recommendation or appointment
of deputies or baiitTs is no part Of their patron
age, and that any attempt to influence such ap-
pointments will be regarded rs a breach OF their
duty, and rs an rnwarrantablc interference With
matters which in no way concern them.
= The Office Of the Recorder Of Deeds should
be managed By the Recorder, and the County
Commissioners should let him, SO far as his APP
pointnlents are concerned, iDdustr1ously alone.
2. The useless office Of County Attorney
should be at once abolished. It is m Office un-
known to the law, and the people require but
one law department. the one recognized by the
law, the office OF States Attorney.
# the duties Of the States Attorney are al
ready so onerous that hc could not perform the
additional labor imposed upon him, let his de- de-
partnlcnt be enlarged, and he be authorized to
employ ono or two additional assistants ii need
be. to enable him to do the work.
