Two Ofhcious Rascals.

A precious pair of scOundrels have
been unearthed by the arrest of De-
tectives Samuel Cohen and John j.
Conway at Boston, for completely in a
number of plots to win money and fame
in their profession, at the risk of i'm
prisoning and even hanging innocent
men. Their most heniOus crime of this
description was in connection with the
Hanson murder, which occurred at
BrOOkfield, N. H., November 2, 1874,
and in all its features oceasiOned a
widespread interest.
Susan A. Hanson, young woman of
35, was instantly killed early in the
evening, while sitting near a window
at her home, her face and neck being
riddled by heavy charge of buckshot
fired from without. Joseph B. Buzzell,
young stone mason, of about the same
age, against whom a breach of promise
suit, brought by Miss Hanson, was
pending, was naturally suspected, but
his arrest and trial were followed by
acquittal in May, 1875. Later, several
houses and barns in the vicinity of
BrOOktield, were burned, among them
being the dwelling of John Churchill,
who had been prominent in pushing
BuzzelPs prosecution. All attempts at
| ferreting out the incendiaries having
failed, Cohen and Conway were engaged
to work up the case, and in April, 1877,
they arrested Charles w. Cook, a farm
boy, who had been in Buzzell's employ.
A weeks confinement and careful
manipulation by the detectives, was
sufficient to bring out an alleged con
fession duplicating Buzzell in Miss Han
sons murder. Cook said he had been
forced TO accompany his employer to
the murdered wOman's house, and,
while BuZzell leveled the gun at his
victim, to pull the trigger. His story
created great excitement, Buzzell was
arrested, tried a second time, convicted
on Cooks testimony, and sentenced to
he hanged July 10, 1879.
Now, Conway, disgusted because the
job was not paying Que for him, and
suspicious that Cohen received money
for the transaction without dividing
acknowledges that Cooks confession
was drawn out of him by threats Of
prosecution for incendiarsm and prom.
ises of immunity, if he swOre Buzzelr;
life away. A more cold -blOOded scheme
could hardly he imagined, but CooE
corrobOIates it in full. saving that ht
would rather be punished for perjury
than have an innocent man hanged. l
only remains now for the facts in tn,
case to be proved in court to secure
new trial for Buzzell and eventually hi
release.
The same men were engaged to de
tect the mutilatOr of Gov, John A. An
drew's statue at bingham, and the.
have succeeded in having Charles B
Leavitt arrested for the offence.
1t is certainly difficult t,
believe in such deliberate and devilisl
rascality as the Boston Herald formu
lates against these two OfficiOus ode
tectives" Could it be proved, tht
most radical opponents of capital pun
ishment would desire to see the gallOws
tree bear their forms. Recent develop

A Flower for the Dead.
BY JULIA c. R. DoRR.

Sunday Afternoon for March.)
You placed this flower in her hand you sayl
This pure pale rose i'll her hand of clay
Methinks could she lift her sealed eyes
They would meet your own with grieved surpris
She has been your wife for many year,
When clouds hung low and when skies were clea
At your fee she laid her life's gid spring,
And her summers glorious blOssOming.
Her whole heart went with the hand you won;
If its warm love waned as the years went on,
If it chilled in the grasp of an icy spell,
What was the reason l pray you tell
You cannot l can and beside her bier
My soul must speak and your soul must hear.
If she was not all that she might have been.
Hers was the sorrow-yOurs the sin!
Whose was the fault if she did not grow
Like rose in the summerl Do you knowl
Does lily grow when its leaves are chilledi
Does il bloom when its root is winter killed
For little while. when you first were wed,
Your love was like sunshine round her shed;
Then a something crept between you two,
You led where she could not follow you.
With a mans firm tread you went and came;
You lived for wealth, for power for fame;
Shut into her wonan's work and ways,
She heard the nation chant your praise.
| But ah You had dropped her hand the while.
| What time had you for a kiss, smile
| You two. with the same roof overhead,
| Were as far apart as the sundered dead.
| You i'll Your manhOods strength and prime
| She-worn and faded before her time.
| 'Tis a common story. This rose You say
You laid in her pallid hand to-dayl
| When did ynu give her flower before
| All. well What matter, when all is DER
Yet stay moment; you'n wed again.
l mean reproach; It's the way of men
But pray You think when some fairer face
Shines like star from her wonted place
That love will starve ifit is not fed,
That true hearts pray for their daily bread.

LIGHT FOR THE SIoK-RooM.-A kero-
sene lamp is not a suitable light for the
sick-roon, for it should never be turned
down low, on account of the disagree

man once said, ''There is nothing in
the world that will produce diphtheria
sooner than bad kerosene lamp" Be
that as it may, if your kerosene lamp
emits disagreeable smell, it shows
that something is wrong-the oil NAV

may be poor, or it is clogged up, or the

of the White House at Washington, is
prOverbial. Mrs. President Hayes is a

Her table is elegant, liberal, and choice
