SHORT SHRIFT.
The constable, Robinson, has since received
medical aid, and is now progressing favora-
bly, toward recovery. Inspector Bonney, OF
the division In London, commenced max
ing inquiries as to what the new and most
desperate prisoner could be and what was his
name; John Ward" which the prisoner as
serted was his cOgnmen, somehow did not ap-
pear satisfactory. At this time, 1t must be
remembered, there was no suspicion that the
man was anything but a burglar, and to prove
his guilt as such was the effort OF the officer.
TO find out his name was very difficult, but
after fortnight's search BOnney discovered
that the prisoner was respectable gentle
man." who, at Lambeth, Greenwich and Peck
ham had passed as "Mr Johnson" The last
residence OF this Mr.. Johnson, otherwise
Peace. was at No. 5 East Terrace, Eveina
road Peckham, q most respectable neighbor-
hood, the house a really comfortable one and
good garden in front. The inspector prose-
cuted his inquiries, and found thirty two
pawn tickets in the dwelling. These tickets
mostly related to property stolen from houses
in Greenwich and Blackheath, namely: silver
and gold plate, together with iewelry. The
goods had been pawned by one of Peaces
lady assistants" under the obiging name OF
Thompson" and have been recognized by
those who have lost them.
Peace has been identified In Newgate as the
murderer OF Mr. Dyson.

TERRIBLE FIGHT.
On Wednesday night Mr.. Peace was en-

housekeepers was singing, ana the other a ,e1

On that evening Peace repaired to the man

James Park Blackheath, and while endeav-
Orng to add to his own riches, was unfOrtll-
nately, in his own opinion, observed by con-
stable on duty named Robinson. Subsequent
" this officer was shot by the prisoner and
this is how it took place: On finding that he
was discovered, Peace rushed into the garden
and fired four shots at Robinson; then, with
a fearful oath, after taking deliberate aim,
fired fifth. The shots We're fired from an
American revolver of the newest make. The
| fifth struck the constable In the left arm

rehounding on the wall fell on the floor. But
Robinson, though injured, seized the man,
and after desperate struggle, threw the fel-

the burglar attempted to draw sheath knife
which was in his pocket, but the officer,

presence Of mind, and gave his prisoner a few

examined it was found that the fellow carried
a Six-barrel revolver and that the weapon
was strapped to his wrist. On being charged

Carew Miller, cashier of the First
National Bank of Indianapolis, was
charged with the crime of embezzling
the funds of the bank. His case came
up before the United States Circuit
Court for Indiana last week, and the
usual course was. being taken by the
Grand Jury to investigate the matter,
aud either indict Miller or ignore the
charges against him. At this stage of
the proceedings the United States Dis.
trict Attorney interveDed with a letter
of Instructions from President HAYES to
prosecute the case no, further. Tn he
Grand Jury resented the interference
and asked the Court for instructions !.
Judge Gresham told them to pay no at
tention to the Presidents instructions.
but to perform their duties regardless
OF consequences.
This meddling with the business of
the Courts and jnries on the part of the
President is condemned by the press
throughout the country. The only ex-
euse offered for the act is that the Presi.
dent believed Miller to be Innocent of
the charge. but while he has the power
70 pardon an offender. he has no au.
thority to forbid trial, or in any way
interfere with the Courts while they are
engaged in performing their Constita.

C9uN FED OUT,

y. E. Green and E. j. Helms were
opposing candidates for the office of
CLERK OF Elko county at the last elee.
hon. Helms was declared elected by
the Board of Canvassers by eight ma
prity. Green demanded a recount,
which. after some delay, was made by
the Board. The recount was complete d
fAst week. and it resulted in overcom-
mg Helms majority of eight and giving
Green a majority of five. 1t is insinu
sted that unfair means were used to
bring about this result. This insinua.
hon may be wholly. without foundation,
but as Green is the present incum-
bent of the Clerks. Office. and had
access to the retnrns after the ballot
boxes were opened, it gives rise to a
suspicion of foul play. The latest rela-
ase to the matter isthat Helms will con-
sest the election in the Courts.

Society Agitation in Washington.

comes a statement that society there is
agitatsd as to the position it shall as
sign to the elegant and accomplished
octoroon wife of Bruce, the colored
Senator from Mississippi. SOON to re-

Official etiquette requires the wives of
Cabinet officers and Congressman to
make the first call on new Senator's
wife. and the wives of older Senators
do the same. The only precedent was
the case of Mrs. Pinchback of Louisi-
ana, who being beautiful and accom-.
pllshed. was quite a lioness in Wash.

HINDOO RELIGION,

The essence of the Hindoo Religion is
Precipitation. The native mind has prac-
tical turn, and wishes to attain definite
purpose in its sacred rites. 1t is willing to
go through any amount of trouble in its OBJ
servances if some clear gain is to be got by
the process The clearest gain that the ma
tive mind can picture to itself is the avert
ing of evil. And its fertile fancy has been
set to work to imagine all the sources of
evil possible. Every conceivable calamity
is attributable to some evil agency either a
god, or devil, or deceased man. There
are good agents on the other side, and
they may be propihatcd to fight against the
bad agents. In dim way they recognize q
Supreme Being; but they argue that he is
too good to hurt any one, and so he may be
left out of the account. With this excep-
ton, everything that produces the notion of
power is worth propitiating, the propi-
tiation consisting in depositng little offef
ings of food or of anything that the agent,
if alive and in human share. might be con-
ceived to like. Thus, ONE tomb of one
English official, who had terrified them dur
ing his life, the natives deposited little Of
ferings of brandy and cigars, hoping that
he will still like these luxuries as much as
he used to do, and that as long as his spirit
could smoke and drink it would not occupy
itself in annoying them. Again, offerings
were deposited on the tomb of another
Englishman who had in life been famed for
shooting tigers, in the hope that his turn
for worrying tigers still survived, and might
be somehow put to good account. 1.-THE
Spectator.
