These public institutions are very delicate
affairs, and should be handled carefully. The
GLOBE was wicked in publishing what it did.
Hall ought to know better. If committee
be appointed to investigate, let them be
moderate, cautious men, who will not ask
such important questions as did the insane
committee. When you investigate, go light

HE KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT,

The Death of a Remarkable Man 1V7to Re
naaine1 Dumb During the Greater Part
of HIS Life.
Hayes Hinman, who lived two miles east
of Utica, N. Y, died on Monday, aged 66
years. Although possessing the faculty of
speech, he had not uttered two consecutive
words for fifty years. When 16 years old,
hearing his father swear at a member of the
family, be made a vow that he would never
speak again. He then met with an acci-
dent, which bruised the fingers of his left
hand, the pain drawing from him the ex-
c!amation, COIL" On but one other occa-
sion was he heard to speak. This time the
word "See'' was called forth by snake that
crawled over sleeping child. A column
might be filed by recital of Humans &C.
centricities. Some of his devices to avoid
conversation we're crafty in the extreme.
He was close student, and he has left a
voluminous diary during his fifty years of
silence. He leaves fortune of $4,000 to
q nephew, with the adrnonition, s'keep your
mouth shut" Notwithstanding his silence,
he was great favorite in the neighborhood
in which he lived.

it is further known that the wife had an
instructive dread of Stoecki. In these
facts there was something upon which to
build theory; and the St. Louis police
force in attendance, with sagacity equal
to that shown by the New York police in
the Hull case, concluded that the husband
was the guilty party! He was overtaken
on his way home. He had heard OF the
murder and was utterly heart-broken, be-
traying all the signs Of grief that indicate
ffHonuine sorrow and bereavement yet he
was seized by the police, and locked up as
the murderer of his wife, to whom, it is al
legged, he was most devotedly attached,
and who, but few weeks before, had borne
unto him his first child. OF course it was
idle for him to protest his innocence; to
express his horror of the suspicion against
him. or to offer to satisfy the bull-headed
police that he could not have committed
the crime, however much he might have
felt inclined to do so. They needed his re-
quest, however, to take Stoeckli under arrest
and in so doing betrayed the only symptom
of sanity that has, thus fir, characterized
their conduct
About IL 80 Sunday morning Schuck-
ers and Hogan discovered two suspicious
characters at the landing, who had but
recently left the steamer Idlewild. One
of the PAIR being recognized as James
Deahn, alias Little Kid"-a Kentucky
penitentiary convct-the policemen kept
a close watch upon them, and few minutes
later saw them enter Fifth street bagnio.
They had been IN the house but a short
time when they raised u rumpus Schuck-
ers and Hogan at once pounced upon them
took them under arrest, and upon search
ing them found upon the Kid three rings
| and gold watch, the tour articles being
worth probably two hundred and twenty.
| five dollars The Kids companion gave
the name Of Charley Wood. During the
morning adispatch from Marshal Birschitt,
of Paducah, was received, stating that dur
ing the Idlewild's run from Columbus to
Cairo, Mrs. Esther Gregg, Of Evansville
Indiana, lady passenger, was robbed of
four finger rings and gold watch, upon all
Of which her initials had been engraved.
| The rings and watch taken from the Kid
were part ofthis stolen property. Birschitt
was informed the arrest, aad came to
Cairo; and made application for the prison
ers, which, properly enough, were not
turned over to him. In the evening both
Of them were confined in the county Jail,
the Kid remarking, as the officer closed the
door on them: "Well you've got US here;
but you wouldn't have been safe in betting
| a cent on it, even ten minutes ago The
lady from whom the property was stolen
arrived in the city yesterday, and Kid and
Wood were put through a preliminary eX-
| animation, the result Of which was that
they were ruled 10 give bail in the sum of
5000, each, to await the action the grand

Breyity.

The King of Zulu-land is said to have
recently addressed note to a British
officer in South Africa as follows: "Ex-
cellency-First came the missionary:
next the Consul; now the army Getty
wayo." This brief letter recalls some
short speeches and curt correspondence
which will doubtless be delightful read
ing in these times of long harangues at
Albany and Washington. A Western
Judge, once upon time, addressed the
Grand Jury in these words: Gentle
mon; The weather is extremely hot; l
am very old; you know your duty, -
perform it." Another American Judge
once interviewed in an odd way to pre-
vent waste of words. He was sitting
In chambers, and seeing, from the pile
of papers in the lawyers hands, that
certain case was likely to be a long one,
he asked: "What is the amount in
question: Two dollars, your Honor"
said the plaintiffs counsel. an pay
it." said the Judge, handing over the
money; "call the next case" An En-
glish Judge was more patient HeIisten-
ed for couple of days to the argu-
ments of counsel as to the construction
of an act, and finally observed, when
they we're done: "Brothers, that act
was repealed year ago." One morn
ing a woman was shown into DR.. Aber-
nethy's room. Before he could speak
she barred her arm, saying, "Bnrn."
" A poultice," said the Doctor. Next
day she called again, showed her arm,
and said: "Better." "Continue the
poultice," the response. A few days
afterward she came again; then she
said: swell. Your fee?'' "Nothing,''
said the great physician; "you are the
most sensible woman l ever saw"
Lord Berkeley. wishing to apprise the
Duke of Dorset of his changed con-
dition, wrote: "Dear Dorset: | have
just been married, and am the happiest
dog alive. Berkeley" The answer
came: ''Dear Berkeley: Every dog
has his day. Dorset" The editor OF
a Chicago newspaper, wanting the de:
tails OF a terrible inundation in Connec-

Prince Napoleon's Letter to NJ. Ronher.

The following is the text of the letter
of Prince Louis Napoleon to Nj. Rouher,
explaining his departure for South
Africa
"CHIsELHURsT, Feb. 25.-MoN CHER
MONSIEUR RoUHER: lam about to leave
Europe, and my absence may continue
Tor some months. l have too many
faithful friends in France for me to re-
main silent as to the reason for my de-
parture. For eight years | have been
EDgland's guest. completed NY edu-
cation in one of her military schools,
and have kept up my connection with
the British Army by joining it, on sew
eral occasions, during its great ma
neuvers. The war Great Britain is now
carrying on at the Cape OF Good Hope
has lately assumed much more serious
aspect than it had previously. I felt
anxious to watch the operations, and
sail in two days.
SIN France, where, thank Heaven,
party spirit has not extinguished the
military spirit, people will comprehend
that l am anxious TO share the fatigues
and dangers of those troops among
whom have so many comrades. The
time shall devote in assisting in this
struggle of civilization against barbar-
ism will not be lost to me.
My thoughts, whether l am near or
far, will constantly turn toward France;
l shall watch the phases she will con-
stantly pass through with interest and
without anxiety, for | am convinced that
God protects her!

partisans of the Imperial cause will re-
main united and confident, and will con-
tinue to hold before the country the
spectacle of party which, faithful to
It's doctrines, remairs constantly ami
mated by the most ardent patriotism.
