MORE GOSPEL WANTED NOT MORE
gIt LAW.

NcwYork Sun.
All attempts to tinker with the laws for
the election of president and vice president
are entirely uncalled for,
The law is good enough and is sufficient
as it stands. q
What is really needed is more gospel,
and not more law.
The preachers should take the politicians
in hand and preach to them increasingly the
gospel Of common honesty. This should
be preached 10 both parties every Sunday,
while for the Republicans, specially, mid
week protracted meetings should be held,
If this preaching is effcctual, nothing
more will be needed. A disposition to
count the votes honestly, under the exist
ing law, is all the country requires.

Dear Srs.-I am pleased 10 informyou that

several years. The quantity of urine now
passed in the twenty.four hours does not
exceed one-quart-the proper quantity
quite drop from 3ll gallons. Will do as
you say, let him eat anything, and if any
return of the disease you will hear from
me. Yours very truly, JSo. L. SMITH.

Nordenskjold's Conclusions.

Berlin Correspondence of the London Standard.
Prof. Nordenskjold's recent Arc
tic expedition has led him to the fol-
lowing results regarding the practic-
ability of commercial route along
the coast of northern Siberia. /.
That voyage from the Atlantic to
the Pacific ocean, along the coast of
Siberia, may frequently be made
in a few weeks by vessel specially
adapted, and manned with expert
enced seamen, but that, $50 far as
the conditions of the Siberian Polar
Sea are at present known, the entire
route can hardly have any practical
Importance for trading purposes. 2.
That there are no obstacles to com.
mercial traffic through the waters
between the mouths Of the Oh and
Jenisel and Europe. 3. That in all
probability sea passage between
the Jenisel and Lena, and. between
the Lena an Europe, as a trade route
IS also possible, providing the out
and homeward voyage be. not under.
taken in one summer. 4. That turth.
er researches are requisite before, it
can be decided whether the waters
between the mouth Of the Lena and
the Pacific are available for mercan-
tile navigation. The experience al
ready collected shows however that
steamships with heavy implements
and other goods, not easily to be
forwarded by land or sledges, may at
any rate pass from the Pacific to the
Lena. ~

Prison Tragedy at saltwater.

An unruly convict named John
Clark, sentenced from Hennepin
county, in May, 1876, for two years
and five months, for larceny, was
shot dead, on Thursday evening
last, by deputy warden Abe Hall,
for INSTRUMENTATION. On the proceed.
ing Friday Clark made an attack on
one of the prison officials with a
putty knife. After this act he was
placed lin the dark cell until Sunday
when he was taken out, at which
time he was told that if his evil
temper should lead him to make an.
other attack upon anyone he would
not be let off so easily another time.
Clark continued to work in the
paint shop until Thursday a few
minutes past 4 o'clock, p. M, when
the guard ordered him and another
convict to their cells, it being then
within a few minutes of quitting
time. John Clark refused and
armed the same putty knife with
which he made the attack. during
the preceding week. The guard
then sent for deputy warden Hall,
who soon after arrived and took in
the situation Immediately. He took
out his watch and told Clark he
would give him three minutes to
put down the knife and obey orders.
The latter remained immovable, and
ut the end Of five minutes Hall put
up his watch saying, 'Clark, / ask
you once more to put down that
knife, put on your coat and 20 to
the cell room. You.are only taking
your life in your own hands,
The prisoner said he not would
do SO, whsreupon Hall cooked his re.
volver, and, pointing it at Clark, re.
peated his request, and after being
again answered in the negative
aimed it at his heart and fred. At.
ter being struck by the bullet he
turned towards Hall and fell on his
face dead. w. .e.8,
The deputy warden has been rath.
er severely criticised by different
parties for his deliberate shooting Of
the convict; but the prison officers
uphold Hall, saying that discipline
in such an institution is paramount
and must be maintained. Had
Clark persisted in disobeying and
carried his point, it is said the foun.
dation principles of the institution
would have been destroyed and much
trouble ensue, every inmate being
led thereby to disobey orders until
there would be no discipline left.
The coroners jury fully justified Mr..
Hall of the shooting.
