Juvenile Jack Sheppards.

At Hawick, England, recently, Will
liam Laidlaw Emers Hemsley, aged six
teen years, and John Turnbull, aged
fourteen years, had been detected in the
act of shoplifting, and were appre-
hended. After their apprehension,
Superintendent Morrison searched the
house in Tiviot crescent, where HENS
ley lives with his father. In the closet
in the house he found large quantity
of various articles, supposed to have
been stolen. Two MSS. were found, in
which the young culprits had made most
business-like records of their transac-
tions. One of the books is sort CT
journal. 1t hal been only few days in
use, and on the title page is written, in
John Turnbull's secret and memorandum
book. Tuesday, Jan. l. 1878. United
Order of Outlaws" It is understood
that the entries are all in Hemsley's
handwriting. The first page is headed.
"What I have stolen in money" The
first theft recorded is one of one penny
"from NEITHER" There are trifing
sums entered as taken from neighbors,
obtained by altering the figures in a
shopkeeper's pass-book, and abstracted
from the till of an office where he was
formerly employed. Another page has
the heading "How many locks I have
stolen" and then follows list of the
places where they were taken from,
such as stables, garden and field gates,
with the owners names when they we're
known, and in other cases the locality
where the theft was committed is min
utely described. Next comes, "What I
have stolen ont of shops" which list in
cludes, besides many of the articles re-
covered. tins of beef, jars of jam, shop
weights, twenty-eight keys from one
ironmonger's shop, etc, etc. Under
the heading "What have stolen from
persons and places" there is list of q
number of places, including factories,
schools, aud the theatre, where thefts
had been committed. The booty in
cludes half barrel of ale from hotel
door. The MSS. volume also contains
sketches of plans and operations for the
future. Lists of "What I have to
steal" What l have to buy and make"
including a variety of articles, useful and
ornamental, from a steam engine and
boiler to musical-box. And then there
is q memorandum of "What have to
write for" This includes, singularly
enough for such apparently cool hands,
"A cure for the nerves." besides several
medicines and cosmetics, and volume
of poetry. Further on in the book is an
inventory of their ill-goten possessions,
and another of "Tools for housebreak-
ipg," among which are enumerated
seventy.seven skeleton keys. The other
headings, "What I got by housebreak-
ing," and "What Turnbull has got by
housebreaking," have no entries ap-
pended, the interference of the police
having suspended the bookkeeping as
well as other contemplated operations.

AGO look at the big clock in the din
ing-room, Nellie, and see il it is near the
stroke of twelve"
She went dumbly, mechanically, at his
behest and, when she came back, he
was gone, and the moonlight strsamed
in on an empty room.
Then the reaction followed, and Nell
lie few up to her bed room, and locked
the door, and covered her head with q
shawl, and sobbed and cried hysteri-
cally, until her over wrought nerves
found relief in sleep.
The next day Mr.. Levison sent little
note over, apologizing for his seeming
discourtesy in not coming to bid her
good-by on his sudden departure for an
indefinite time, and telling her that her
cruel decision never to marry again had
been the cause of it, and that they might
never meet again, etc., etc.
To which Nellie, all pale, alarmed and
crimson with confusion, penciled an
answer, assuring him she had changed
her mind, and begging him to come over
| to lunch, to see her, and meet her
brother-in law, who had only just arrived
from abroad.
OF course Mr.. Levison came, and il
| didn't take two minutes to settle it, nor
did he laugh at her when she solemnly
related her experience of the night be-
| fore.
"For it was his ghost, Harry, just as
true as l am alive and speaking to
you !'
GA jolly old mean a thoughtful,
pains-taking spirit, Nellie Bless his
ghostship. well hold him in eternal re-
membrance"
Nor did his countenance change fea-
ture, even when he and Nellie and Fred
Willard discussed the marvelously
obliging kindness of the departed.
Nor did pretty, blooming, blushing
Mrs. Nellie ever for q moment dream
that her visitant was Fred himself, as
sisted by q wig and false whisker-nor
was there any need she should know, for
her happiness was secured, her con-
| science at ease.

A NOVEL GIFT,

$50 you won't have me, Nellie? You
are sure you won't marry me?"
Pretty little Mrs. Nellie Willard look
ed meditatively out of the window into
the quiet village street, as if among the
leatless trees on the frost bound land
scape she could find the answer to Harry
Levison's questions.
Then, after moment, she turned her
face toward him-a face as fresh and
fair in its peachy bloom as many young
girl ten years her junior.
"I-I-am-afraid can't, Mr.. Levi
son."
Mr.. Levison looked her straight in her
bright blue eyes-such lovely blue eyes,
soft as velvet, and the color of violet
that had bloomed in the shade.
"You are afraid you can't, Mrs.
Willard? Answer me another question
-yes-or no-do you love me?"
She blhshed and smiled, and looked
bewitchingly.
"Why, Mr.. Levison, l mean Harry,
of course 1 lo-like you 1 always did,
ever since I first knew you, years and
years ago." ..
"When Will Willard won the prize

You've been widow for three years
now. Isn't that long enough to mourn
the virtues of the departed ?"
"You wicked man AS if 300 years
could ever teach me to forget poor, dear
Wilson," ,..
Her bright eyes reproved him sharply,
and he accepted with good grace.
Grasting the Truth, Nellie, that
your deceased husband was a good fell
low and loving partner, still cannot
see, why you refuse me. That is the
subject under consideration at present,
Nellie Why don't you marry me? 2"
Then Mrs. Willard's face grew a lit
tie paler, and her plump, fair hands
trembled.
Because, Harry, because Wilson
Willard made me promise never to mar
ry again."
Stuff and nonsense What if he
did. A bad promise is better broken
than kept"
Mrs. Willard twisted her ring uneas-
lily, and looked at the illuminated shield
of the stone.

LONDON, July &c.
In the House of Commons yesterday,
Joseph Canon, Radical, presented q petit
ton from a small faction Of extreme Tur-
cophiles, demanding the impeachment of
Lord Beaconsfeld. When the petition was
read, Charles Edward Lewis, Conservative
rose to a point Of order, but the Speaker
allowed its presentation.
The Under Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, replying to Gladstone, said that
the Government could not lay on the table
q memorandum Of the Schouvaloff-Salis-
bury agreement without other documents
accompanying it, and these could not be
introduced without the consent Of the
other Powers. Gladstone then gave notice
that he would move for the production Of
the documents. Burke, reply ing to Hart
ington, said that the Powers had been
asked to permit the pro luction Of the doc
uments. but one of the Powers had refused
to consent. Gladstone t~hereupon withdrew
his notice.

Mr.. Powning Of the Reno journal reads
the Republican party q wholesome lesson.
Tho advice isequally good for the Demo-
cratic party. OF course we do not agree
with him that Jones il inyincible. nor yet
that the Republican party can carry the
State by l 200 majority with either good or
bad men Tor candidates. The Republicans
could mot do that with angels, which is a
very scarce article, we should say. in their
ranks. But this Is what the Journal man
has 70 ny Of the general situation as viewed
from his standpoint:
A. the time for holding the State and
county conventions draws near, there
comes . general expression from al quar-
ters and from all sorts of people that moth
ing short of the very best men can be
elected. The time has passed in this State
when those who follow politics as q trade
hold any considerable following. We re-
msmber when q fighting man was strongly
urged for q good Office because he had been
nseful to the party, and in both Republi-
can and Democratic conventions the half
criminal classes have welded too much
power. In the coming election this is not
going TO do. A mans moral character has
got to be good, or he cannot carry the
strength Of either party. 1t is q common
expression one hears every day, :" I am not
going to eat any crow this year." II a
man Is bad. no amount Of party endorse
ment or party whipping will induce us to
vote for him. The vile influence of the
stock thieves Of San Francisco that has
made itself SO often felt in days past,
has received q timely notice to quit
the presence Of the hired lobbyist Of
the Central Pacific Railroad at the
next session Of our Legislature is not de-
sired by the people Of this State, and il the
present spirit Of care in the selection OF
on representatives continues, it will avail
that corporation nothing-they may as
we'll keep him in Oakland. Ths fight this
fall Is going to be very largely for men,
and the party that puts up the best men
stands the best chance OF carrying the cleo
tion. John p. Jones is our candidate for
the United States Senate. There can b.
no question Of . victory unless we foolishly
handicap him with two or three dead beats
IN our State ticket. The people demand
good, honest, sober men, whose characters
Are . guarantee that the duties Of the Offices
to which they are elected will be faithfully
discharged to the best interests of the
whole State. The Democrats are trying
to get some good men to the front and will
do 20 il the Bradley clique can be broken
mp. We have any number Of excellent
men in our ranks who would accept posi-
lions IN State and county tickets. but
Of those who are now pushing for
places must be forced into the back
