thought of the excellent moral an indictment
or even conviction on such charge mlghl

The old story of the sufferings of the work
men sent out to build the Brazilian railroad
for Messrs. p. and r. Collins, of Phadel-
phia, is repeated by the hundred men whom
the charity of John Roach landed here yes
terday. They declare that during the year
they have been at work they have received
no nav. and have suffered, as their predrces-
ors did. for want of food. They seem to have
had false promises of payment held out to
them, and were compelled to sell their Que
bills on Mr. Collins at shocking discount
The whole story, il true, is exceedingly dis-
creditable to the projectors of this ill-starred
enterprise.
A correspondent reminds us that New YORK
State can have, if it Will. new criminal
code, which, like that proposed in England
will call a spade spade. The new code, re-
ported to the Seuate last Winter by the Com
missioners to Revise the Statutes, has been
revised. and will soon be reported again
by the Special Committee to which the
civil code was also intrusted. The
same ideas, to a certain extent, seem TO
have governed both the English revision ana
this home attempt to divest the criminal law OF
some of its antiquated absurdlties; in one re-
spect,, at least. both will exercise healthiul
influence upon society, by making much
needed change in the nomenclature OF
crime. Murder is to be called murder
and the present polite gradati0ns OF
homicide are to be removed. A better pros
pect, however, is that of having "every Grim
"inal appropriation of property called lar
"ceuy," aud punished as SUCH Gentlemanly
dcfaulters, highly respectable peculatoTs, men
who have wrOngfully diverted" or " mlsap-
prOpriated funds polite thieves OF all sorts
for whose crimes society has been cOntrivng
the most refined and delicate names, will he
arraigned before he world side by side with the
rOwdy burglar and the sneak thief. Their
offences will be classed under common
name and the lesson cannot fail to be in
structive. In many respects the code seems
likely to simplify and strengthen criminal
law, and it will be matter for general con-
graduation if the Legislature will take the
time to act upon the work of men so well
versed in the subject as ex-Judge EmOtt and
District t-AttOrney Phelps.

A BATCH OF STORIES.

In ''Sr Gibbie" u. B. Lippincott h Col George
Macdonald has given one Of his most touching
stories. 1t IL q story to make the enemies of this
novelist cry out against him sentimental and too
high strung. II is sentimental. but tho sentiment
is delicate and beautiful not overdrawn and sicky
The story is. perhaps. triAc unnatural but when It
Is interesting do not to quarrel with IL on
that score. Sir Gibbie is a dumb boy. but is
not deaf. Ho hears everything that is said to
him, but only replies with smile. It shows
the genius Of the novelist that he can keep
interested In hero who runs barefoot and smil-
ing through the FIRST half of novel, and who, we'll
shod and armed with slate. walks quietly through
the last half. The chapters that describe Sir Glib
bies relations with his miserable drunken father
touching In the extreme and worth tons of tenn
pcrance tracts. Mr.. Macdonald does not condemn
the unhappy father OF Sir Gibbie; he pites him from
the bottom Of his great heart After telling all his
faults he says. "and yet I would rather be that
drunken cobbler than many fair professor as
Bunyan calls him. grasping merchant ranks in
fnitely lower than such q drunken cobblcr. Thank
God the Son of Man is tho judge. and to Him will wo
plead the cause of such; yea. and of worse than

took the orphaned in he says. "shc was mother;
ono who is a mother only to her children is not

THE NEW ORDEAL.

Few brighter satires than "The Battle Of Dorking''
within the history of the present century. and
few Of tho infnity of screeds and brochures which
the late war between Turkey and Russia called forth
will have so permanent place in connection
with that important event the satire by the
author, which, under the above title, first the
light in ''Blackwood's," and now finds issue
separately from the press Of the same house. In
view of the Afghan and Zulu wars the lines penned
by the brilliant satirst nearly year ago read almost
prophetically:-
For the ardent nature which sought after the
else of finer instincts in the destruction of its
fellow creatures there presented congenial
ing with the savage and uncivized races still to be
found in remote portions Of the earth. not yet i'm.
bued with the enrolling sentiments OF civilization,
standing armies might still continue to be needed
for awhile.
