1t has often been said that hanging is
the worst use to which a man can be put.
A peculiar social economist in Boston has
advanced novel proposition for dealing
with murderers, who can be made, he
thinks, to serve humanity far better than
by execution. He d plores ordinary cap
ital punishment because it is a waste and
destruction of valuable forces and ener-
gies which should be conserved. Allud
ing to the fact that finger entirely sew
cred from the hand, accidentally or other
wise, may grow again if replaced in sea-
son, held in position, and skillfully treat
ed, to the practice IN surgery of skin graft
ing and to TRANSMISSION of blood from the
strong to the weak, he argues that a
healthy eye could, with the observation
of proper conditions, be engrafted on the
muscles and nerves that had been cut from
diseased or imperfect eye. Instead of
sending a murderer to the gallows, he
would turn him over to physicians and
surgeons, if he were sound and vigorous,
to be used for the corporal benefit of suf-
fer.ng humanity. He would give the cul-
prit's eyes, fingers, toes, skin, teeth scalp,
whatever might be made available to those
who needed them, removing them under
the influence of an9sthetics. If the MUIR
derer should die, it would be no more
than his doom, and he would be by his
death benetactor to his race, instead of,
as now, demoralizing example.

Ingenuity of Fraud.

In 1879 a gentleman of eminence in the
mercantile world was grieved by the con-
tents OF a letter which he received from
a correspondent at Hamburg, the
post-mark of which it bore. From the
statement it contained, it appears that
person most infinitely described had de-
trauded the writer, under extraordinary
circumstances, Of $4,000. The letter con-
tinucd to say information had been OBJ
tanned that the defrauder- the dress and
person whom it described was occasion
ally to be seen on Dutch walk of the road
exchange. The object of the writer was
to induce his correspondent to invite
the party to dinner, and by any moral
force which could be used, compel him
to return the money; adding, that if he
should be found amendable to reason and
evince any signs of repentance, he might
be dismissed with a friendly caution and
five hundred pounds, as he was near
relative of the writer. AS the gentleman
whose name it bore was profitable cor
respondent, the London merchant kept a
keen watch on the Dutch walk, and vas
at last successful in meeting and being
| introduced to the cheat.
Inc invitation to dine was accepted {;
and the host, having previously given no
tice to his family to quit the table soon
after dinner, acquainted his visitor with
the knowledge Of the fraud. Alarm and
horror was depicted in the countenancc
OF the young man, who, with tones ap-
parently tremulous with emotion, begged
that his disgrace might not be made pub
lie. To this the merchant consented.
The visitor sighed deeply; but said to re-
turn all was impossible, as he had unfor-
tunately spent part of the amount. The
remainder, however, he proposed to yield
| instantly, and the notes were handed to
the merchant, who, after dilating on the
goodness of the man he had robbed, CON
cluded his moral lesson by handing him
check for $500 as a proof of his beneti-
cence. The following morning the gen
tleman went to the banker to deposit the
money he had received, when to his great
surprise, he was told that the notes were
counterfeit. His next inquiries were con-
corning the check, but that had been
cashed shortly. after the opening Of the
bank. He Immediately sent an express
to his Hamburg correspondent, who re-
plled that the letter was a forgery, and
that no fraud had been committed upon
him. The whole affair had been plotted
by gang, some Of whom were on the
continent and some in England -. History
