Rewarding Fraud.

The men who perpetrated the returning
board frauds in Louisiana and Florida,
ought to have been hung. No graver
crime could have been committed, imper-
Hing as it did the peace Of the country
and the lives Of the people. Instead of
condign punishment for their crimes they
have been rewarded by appointment to
important and lucrative Offices. Wells
and Anderson are in the New Orleans
Custom House, as well as the two negroes,
Cassenaye and Kenner. McLin, one Of
the Republican members of the Florida
Returning Board who has confessed the
fraud in that State, was appointed Judge
of New Mexico, as a reward for his vii
lainous services, and Dennis was made an
Internal Revenue Agent. The appoint
ment Of these men to Office is Of itself
strong moral proof that Hayes understood
his party obligation to them and gave them
Offices in payment for their services. How
could it happen that our yirtuous Civil
Service Reform President should appoint
such VIGOROUSLY bad men to positions of
public trust, unless he was compelled by
some peculiar sense Of obligation to them.

The mOrtuary statistics Of the whole civ
ilized world show that about one-ffth of all
mankind die of consumption alone, and the
number of deaths due to consumption bears
a greater ratio TO the whole numbe than that
of any other three diseases together. More
over, investigation proves that this ratio is
steadily increasing Its increasing prevalence
has led 10 the popular belief that consumption
is incurable. Every year hundreds of these
sufferers seek, in the sunny retreats of
Florida or the dry atmosphere of Colorado,
for health-and find only grave. The in
fluence of the atmosphere-the only re-
medal agent that either Florida or Colorado
can afford the consumptive-is at best only
pdUiGtiue. The cure of consumption Deepen Is
upon two essential conditions: LIST, the ar
rest of the abnormal breaking down of the
tissues which prevents emaciation, and I'd,
the restoration of healthy nutrition, in order
to stop the formation of tuberculous matter
Fulfill these conditions, and consumption is
as durable as fever. To fulfill these con
ditiOns the required remedy must increase
the appetite, favor the assimilation of food
and enrich the blood, thus retarding the de-
velopment OF tubercules. 10 accomplish
this, a more powerful Alternative than Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has never
been discovered. At the same time it soothes
the irritation of the nervous system pro-
duced by violent coughing, which in Its
turn so often leads to more serious results.
The use of ' expectorants" in consumption
/ is absolutely suicidal. For while removing
the tubercules already formed, they produce
yet more serious results by inhaming and
destroying the sound and healthy tissues
Consumption requires a remedy that will
sOothe while it relieves; harsh medicines
but add fuel to the flame that already threat
ems to consume the system. The Golden
Medical Discovery fulflls these conditions,
and has been pronounced the best remedy
yet discovered TO allsy and arrest consump-

a Vienna dispatch says that the Rus
slams have achieved a rare feat of perse-
verance and endurance in crossing the
Etropal Balkans, and though the force
cannot be very numerous and the whole
movement seems to SAVIOR rather of a
bold, adventurous raid like General
Gourko's over Hankei pass, than of Iegu-
lar military operations. 1t can not but
hasten the withdrawal of Turkish troops
from the Balkan line, at any rate from
the western portion. Sulelman Pasha
seems to have foreseen this when he took
up mis- headquarters at Ichtiman, and to
have thought that stand made at the
rallying point formed by the junction of
the Rhodopoe and the second Balkan
chain might effectually bar all advance
from the direction of Sofia. There is,
however, a succession of parallels formed
by TOpOlince, the Guipso and the Tundja,
which run to the north of Ichtiman, by
which the Russian columns descending
from the Etropol Balkans may pass east
ward and uniting with the forces ira
versing Schipka pass turn the position of
Ichtiman and march down upon Adrian
ople. The only question, therefore, is
whether the Turks are strong enough to
bar the descent from Schipka pass and
hold Ichtiman with the defles of Topol-
inca and the Guipso at the same time
II not they must retreat still further
east.

How Would You Like This

Philadelphia has a verysefficient phi
vate detective force in addition to its
general one. The members advertise
that they have organized "for the pur-
pose of furnishing to citizens special
service, which they may not be able or
willing to perform themselves" If
banking house, for instance, or any es-
tablishment employing men in positions
of trust has the least ground for suspect
ing its clerks, the private detective will
follow the suspected individual like his
own shadow. The young mans riding,
and driving, and dancing, and bouts
with Bacchus, viii be disclosed to his
startled employer, ana perhaps he will
and probably he will not learn that his
book-keeper manages to spend $50 week
ly on an income of 81 zoe a wear. But
the private detective will do even more.
When a husband green with jealousy
suspects the wife who shares his purse
and doubtless his Expenses, of uniaithful-
ness, the special service man Is on hand
to confirm his worst suspicious or restore
harmony To his agitated and lacerated
bosom. Many gay Benedict, all I'M
conscious of the whir,wind he is nursing,
firts and flies around with a female not
his wife, and every dollar and every
pre- ent and almost every word he utters
to her Is Carried back to the wife of his
bosom by the indeiatigable man, who
fixes his services at So a day. 1t is even
said that he mas followed lady for days
to ascertain for some lecherOus wretch
who has seen her in the street who she
is, whether she is single, and whether she
teaches Sunday or if there is a
blemisb in her character, that the wretch
who employs him may have some ground
for insulting her when she next passes
him en- the highway

That a lady has fast growing daugh-

PAINTING AFTER THE SEN
TENCE.

= Strange scene in q Broos1fS5 Coart
Mrs. Hooper aicgssir,=s rcr fI,1Ny.
Mrs. Mary d. Hoeper, the beautiful
and MISUNDERSTANDING woman who was
convicted Of grand larceny in the Kings
county court OF sessions tor having stolen
the diamond jewelry of her friend, Mrs
William Delaney, of 9l2 High street
Brooklyn. was arraigned yesterday for
sentence. She was dressed IN s becoming
suit of black cashmere, and wore an
aureole black hat, from which dropped
a thin veil that was drawn close around
her face Her eyes were swollen with
weeping, aud her pale face indicated that
she had passed a sleepless night. She
walked slowly to the clerks desk, and
trembled as the usual questions were pat
to her. She said she was twenty-nine years
o. age, and that sac had never been in
prison before. On being asked whether
che had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced on her she
seemed to be thinking of reply as Judge
Moore addressed her, saying; 1t is the
uniform practice of this court, ia cases
where persons are convicted of crime for
tie first time, and nothing is known
against their previous character, snd the
crime is not one of particular atrocity
or enormity, to prescribe the lowest
sentence prescribed in the statute, and
the lowest sentence in a case like this is
one year. That is your sentence"
Mrs. Hooper buried her face in her
hands, and then, letting her hands fall,
she said, piteously: " Oh, mercy, judge,
have mercy Have pity on me Rave
pity - She tottered, and was about to
tall as Officer Hamilton seized her about
the waist and supported her. She was
led out OF the court room, and just as
she reached the door she fell, fainting.
The stalwart officers picked her up
bodily, and carried her into the sheriff 5
Office, where she quickly recovered She
seemed to be crushed by her sentence,
and said, over and over, "Oh, my poor
father! It viii kill him I" Officer Ham
llton tried in vain 10 shield her from the
view OF the gaping crowd that had hur-
ried into the room. Her maid, Nellie
Hughes, who has been held as a witness,
was discharged, and the court ordered
that twenty-five dollars be paid to her,
as she was friendless and penniless in
the city. Much sympathy was felt for
Mrs. Hooper, who, in every stage Of the
case since her arrest, has behaved ike a
gentlewoman used to the kindest
treatment. A number Of politicians Of
this city were formerly her intimate
friends; but, although Mark Lanigan
and one or two others, offered to get bail
for her, none came forward to espouse
her cause, and the witnesses subphenaed
to prove her former reputation did not

Torture in India.


The following facts, ELECTED st the trial
at the recent sessions at North ATc-t OF q
case in which five natives were charged
with having murdered five of their caste
PEOPLE, show that torture is not yet
extinct in that part OF the world. The
prisoners fields were robbed of small
quantity OF cumboo, and the deceased
and three others being suspected of hav-
ing hand in tue robbery, they were by
the orders of the first prisoner, who WAS
a village reddy (headman), seized and
tied, some to the trunks of trees and
others to large stones. In the first case
the feet OF the unfortunate victims were
tied above ground with their faces
exposed to the scorching rays of the sun,
with their hands tied above their heads.
The whole FIVE having been firmly bound,
cold water was, by the orders of the first
prisoners, poured upon the ligatures,
with the object of tightening tine bonds
and thereby increasing the suffering OF
the suspected men. After this the first
prisoner poured scalding water over the
hands and arms of the sufferers. The
object of this was to extort a confession
of their guilt, and statement implicat-
ing others. After the men had suffered
excruciating agony for eight hours, and
were released, it was found one of them
was dead, while the others were unable
to move! Two or them died in the hos
pital, whittier they were sent for treat
ment; one expired in his village, while
the fifth was able tie give his evidence
before the committing magistrate, but
never rallied from the effects of the
torture, and died after the case was COM
mitted to the court of sessions. The
medical evidence was siekening in its
details, as it described how the arms.
hands and lower extremities OF the vic.
Tins had become gangrenous, and how
the fingers had rotted and dropped off |
The authority and influence a reddy |
usually has in village went in a great
measure to deter the spectators OF this |
wholesale murder from interfering on |
behalf of the tortured men. The court
convicted the first, second, fourth and |
fifth prisoners, and sentenced the first to
death, and the others to transportation |

Evolution as Applied to Invention.

The philosophy of evolution is illustra-
ted by the development of the germs Of
invention. 4 worthy gentleman living
in Washington, Pennsylvania, recently
invented an oscillatorv washing machine.
The elementary idea was hardly formula
ted in his mind before it took new and
higher shape, and patent was issued
for an oseillatory churn. Another change
in the process of evolution rendered pos
sible the invention of an oscillatory cradle.
Here the ingenious man has paused but
has he indeed reached the perfect type {?
Can he not invent an Oscillatory baby
that may be rocked in the oscilIatory
cradle, FED from the oscillatory churn,
and washed by the osciilatory machine {?
There are strong grounds for believing
that he can do it, for during his busy
career he has not only illustrted the YER
satility of his talent by scores of useful
devices, but has paid special attention to
the conditions of infancy, inventing,
among other things, pneumatic mixer.
a helm for children's sleds, and dental
aIesthetic applicator.
