The Better Side of Human Nature.

A week ago young man in this city
smashed one Of the street lamps. Ho was
arrested for dsorderly conduct, and when
brought before the police court he offered u
unique explanation of his conduct lie did
not plead previous good character in ex-
tequatlon of his offence, and to mitigate the
punishment to which he had exposed him
self On the contrary, lac informed
the magistrate that his previous character
had been anything but good. lie had been
guilty Of many previous offences of deeper
dye. He had even served term Of imprs-
onment in the State prison. All this he re-
lated with the utmost frankness. lie did
not seem in the least disposed TO keep any
thing back Of all his darA and gult-stained
past. He only added that he had prom
ised his mother, while no was in prison
and she was on her death-bed that
he would not steal again; and that
although tempted by actual starvation
to break his promise, he had stuck 10

perienced the pangs OF hunger. aud finally

Secretary sherman in New York.

1t is tclcgraphcd from Washington that
the Secretary OF the Treasury has come on
20 this city to attend to important business
here.
This is not surprising. There Is impor-
tnnt business demanding his attention here
IL is very important. II demanded the Sec
rctary'e attention long time ago. 1t de-
mands the attention Of Congress also now.
The business TO when we refer was re-
Gently referred to On the floor of the House
OF Representatives by the Hon ADRIAN S.
HEWITT Of this city. We mean the vast
amount OF Government funds kept ON de-
post ia a single New York bank
This matter will now receive attention
from the people. An investigation into all
the facts OF the case will be imperatively
demanded. The disclosures. we undertake
u say. will be Of a surprising character.
We do not think Mr.. JOHN SHERMAN ever
had anything more important to attend to,
and we do not wonder that he has come to
New York to attend to 1t. But no degree OF
attention ON his part can alter the unchange-
able and startling facts. We fear that amid
all the gGyety OF the city he will not have a
merry Christmas.
