A Victim of Circumstantial Evil
dAnca

Several months ago a Brooklyn builder
named Terence O'Neill Donnelly, married and
living in comfortable circumstances, was ac-
cused of forgery. The charge startled his
friends, who regarded him as an exceptionally
honest and upright man. 1t threw his family
into CONSERVATION and the widest grief He
declared his innocence, but was arrested and
committed for trial. Bail was refused. When
the time fixed for his trial arrived, two wit
nesses swore point blank that Mr.. Donnelly
had, to their knowledge, committed the forgery
whereof he was accused, He could not deny
their testimony. He could not disproye it.
His case was disposed of in the usual summary
fashion of the criminal courts. He was con-
ylcted, and sentenced to the state prison.
Some of his friends believed he must be guilty.
His business was destroyed. A mortgage on
the house occupied by his family was fore
closed, and his wife and children were turned
out OF doors. His good name was gone, and
all that he had worked for was completely lost
But few friends were still true to him.
They believed him innocent, and were untir-
ing In their efforts to help him. At last one of
the persons who actually committed the for
gerry confessed that Mr.. Donnelly had no part
in it. Gov. Robinson was promptly apprised
of this, and urged to issue a pardon. He
looked into the case, and saw that q man occu-
pying cell at Sing Sing, was really innocent
A pardon soon followed, and Mr.. Donnelly left
his prison after confinement of over four
months. He came forth to find his business
ruined his family reduced to poverty, and
many of his old friends estranged. A few
months had done this. His lawyer then made
an application to the State for some indemnity.
The case went to the board of audit and was
investigated. 1t was clear that Mr. Donnelly
had been greatly wronged. The indemnity
asked was $4,000. The board of audit con-
sidered the figure too high, but finally made
an award of $4,000. The matter then had to 90
to the Legislature for an appropriation. That

How Games Travel.

Travellers, observing the likeness of chill
dren's games in Europe and Asia, have some
times explained it in this wise: That the
human mind being alike everywhere, the same
games are naturally found in different lands
children taking to hockey, tops, stilts kites
and so on, each at its proper season. But if SO,
why is it that in outlying barbarous countrie
one hardly finds a game without finding also
that there is a civilized nation within reach
from whom it may have been learned? And
what is more, how is it that European children
knew nothing till few centuries ago of some
OF their now most popular sports? For in
stance, they had no battledore-and-shuttle
and never flew kites till these games came
across from Asia, when they took root at once
and became naturalized over Europe. The
origin of kite flying seems to lie somewhere in
southeast Asia, where it is sport even of
them cut one anothers strings, and fly birds
and monsters of the most fantastic shapes and
colors, especially in China where old gentle
men may be seen taking their evening STROLL
kite-string in hand, as though they were lead
ing pet dogs. The English boys kite appears
thus an instance NOT of spontaneous play
game from distant center. Nor is this all it
proves in the history of civilization. Within a
century, Europeans becoming acquainted with
the South Sea Islanders, found them down to
New Zealand adopts at flying kites, which
they made of leaves or bark cloth, and called
manu- or bird, flying them in solemn form with
accompaniment of traditional chants. 1t looks
as though the toy reached Polynesia through
the Malay region, thus belonging to that drift
of Asiatic culture which is evident in many
other points of South Sea Island life. The
geography of another of our childish diversions
may be noticed as matching with this. Mr.
Wallace relates that being one wet day in a
Dyak house in Borneo, he thought to amuse
the lads by taking piece of string to show
them "cat's-cradle," but, to his surprise, he
found that they knew more about it than he
did, going off into figures that quite puzzled
him. Other Polynesians are skilled in this
nursery art, especially the Maoris of New Zea-
land, who call it maui, from the name of their
national hero by whom, according to their tra-
dition, it was invented; its various patterns
represent canoes, houses, people, and even cpl
sodes in Maui's life, such as his fishing up New
Zealand from the bottom of the sea. In fact,
they have their pictorial history in "cat's-
cradle" and whatever their traditions may be
worth they stand good to show that the game
was of the time of their forefathers, not lately
picked up from the Europeans. In the Sand
wich Islands and New Zealand it is ON record
that the natives were found playing kind of
draughtS which was not the European game,
and which can hardly be accounted for but as
another result of the drift of Asiatc civiliza-
ton down into the Pacifc.-Fortnightly Re-

The Greenbackers and the Public

Debt.
The resolutions of the Greenback State
Convention start off, owing to the persisten-
cy,of Solon Chase and his following with
the gross misstatement that the coin bonded
Indebtedness of the country has increased
from 81 900, 100000 in 1865 to 1900, ,000, 900
in 1879. About the time the Convention
was adopting these resolutions the Secretary
OF the Treasury was signing the monthly ac-
count of the national Indebtedness. From
the Treasury statement it appears that the
interest-bearing debt reached its highest
point in August, 1865, and then was s., $751;
$50, In August next, when the refund
ing operations are completed, it will be but
81, ,7y7, ,643, 700-a reduction of $593, 1886, ,594.
In August, 1865, the annual interest charge
was S150,977, ,697. In August next it will be
$S3, 773, 77S-a reduction of S67, ,203, ,919. In
August, 1865, the total debt less cash in the
Treasury, was 81, 1856, ,431 81. On the first
day of June it was 81, OPT, ,1S2, ,46S-a reduc-
ton of S729, ,249, 103. Further than this the
debt has been, during the term of Secretary
Sherman, man whom the Greenbackers
vehemently denounce for increasing the ma
tional Indebtedness, reduced S61, ,59S,6
Thus it seems that the very first resolution
in the Greenback platform is a falsehood,
and that the Greenbackers go before the
people with a lie in their mouths, charging
extravaganza and mismanagement and dis
honesty upon the Republican party that has
paid over seven hundred millions of the
national debt within fourteen years, and re-
duced the annual interest account sixty
seven millions. The Greenbackers will be
doubtless guilty of many other misrepre-
sentations in the course Of the campaign,
but even in their most extravagant men
dacity they can scarcely hope to equal the
first lie in their platform.
