Two UngratefuI Sons in the Police Court.

Two UngratefuI Sons in the Police Court
When the immortal bard illustrated the sin
of ingratitude by making King Lear cry out
the famous anathema against thankless child
he must have copied the pitiful picture direct
from nature. Well might the poor, shelterless,
blind old king lift up his sealed gaze to
heaven and exclaim, thrice more gentle is the
serpent's fang than the tooth of the
thankless child. The crime of ingratitude,
quite as repulsive as that visited upon Lear
was illustrated in the police court Yesterday
morning.
Day before yesterday a warrant was sworn
out by Jshn Murphy, senior, for the arrest of
his two sons David and John Murphy, Junior,
on the charge of assault and battery. The
parties were before Judge Flint yesterday
morning. The complainant witness is an aged
man whose sands of life are almost down to
the brink of dissolution. His sons are now
grown, in the prime of life and hardy with
youth and strength.
As related by the witnesses the story is
too sickening for detail, exposing as it does
the horrid skeleton of most wretched and un-
happy home. The old man falteringly testi-
fed that night and day he is persistently per-
secuted by the boys, who have subjected him
to every species of humiliation and threatened
30 take his life. The defendants attempted to
justify their shameful conduct.
The defendant John Murphy stated that
there will be murder if they were compelled to
live together, when the court ironically sug-
gested that there was nothing to prevent them
leaving the old mans residence and finding q
home of their own. The parties were put
under bail to keep the peace for six months in
the sum of 800 each. The boys refused to
sign the bail bond, when the court ordered
their commitment which brought them to
time

During the shower yesterday young lady
was hurrying up Chestnut street without an

the street and jumped on the slippery pave
ment very lightly, very gracefully and very I'M
fortunately Tor himself. His feet went from
under him, and he presented himself to the
lady in rather embarrassing position. The
young lady coolly walked around the fallen
hero and before he had risen and arranged his
coat tails to hide the fracture of his pants, she
was half block away.

A BRILLIANT FUTURE.

Whatever the outcome at Chicago may be,
there is an excellent prospect for the future.
The longer the bear garden at present in
session continues, the more evident it be-
comes that there is hopeless division in
the Republican ranks which cannot, by any
possibility, be healed before the election in
November. The Grant men are determined
that Blaine shall not succeed before the
people even if he succeeds in the conven-
ton, and the Blaine men are equally de-
termined that Grant shall not succeed.
There is scarcely a possibility of a union
upon aithird candidate that will result in
harmonizing the party.
There is, as consequence of the quarrels
of the Republicans, an excellent prospect
for Democratic victory in November, and
the public is to be congratulated on the
fact. 1t is about time that change in the ad-
ministratien took place. For twenty years
the treasury of the nation has been at the
mercy of a gang of the worst plunderers
that ever infested any country. The taxa
ton has been increased far faster than the
growth Of the country or the legitimate ex-
penses of the government would warrant.
Extravaganza has been the rule in every
department, and the people have been op-
pressed to maintain in affiuenoe a lot of
INSCRIPTIONS office-seekers who have no care
save for their own interest and profit. From
a few thousand the list of pensioners upon
Aho hoe
day, it numbers over hundred thousand
with salaries varying from q few hundred
dollars year to many thousands. From
about sixty millions year under the most
extravagant of all Democratic administra-
tons the appropriations have increased to
over three hundred millions, less than one
third of that amount being necessary to meet
the interest on the debt incurred during the
war.
Since attaining power in Congress the
Democratic party has succeeded in reducing
the expenditures something like hundred
million of dollars. But that saving, large
as it is, is but small item compared with
what might be effected if Congress had the
hearty cooperation of the heads of the de-
partments and of the executive. 1t is to be
hoped that when the next year comes in all
branches of the government will be in entire
accord, and that reign of economy will
take the place of that of lavishness; that
our debt will be reduced as fast as possible,
and all departments unite in an earnest
effort to reform the government and inaugu-
rate the ancient customs under which the
people enjoyed SO much of prosperity in the
days gone by.

YOrlck's Love.

"Yorick's Love- is the production of the
editor of the Atlantic Nonthly, Mr.. W. D.
Howells, and for that reason, probably, was ac-
oepted by Mr.. Lawrence Barrett as one of his
choice productions. Though it is intensely
sensational throughout it lacks some of the
elements of popularity, and it is feared will
never supplant the legitimate tragedies that
have for so long held their place upon the
boards.
The drama is story of the stage, partaking
somewhat of the character of "The Moor
of Venice" in the preliminary acts,
and of Hamlet in the eliminating
scene, yet varying enough from each
to escape thel imputatioa of plagiarism.
II is remarkable mostly for its intensity-for
the intense jealousy manifested, on but slight
provocation, by Yorick towards his wife. Mr..
Barrett certainly acted his part well, depicting
the various phases of the jealous rage with rare
fidelity. Yet he did not appear at his best for
the reason that the part was not adequate to
his abilities-was an exaggeration of emotions
that but seldom take possession of mankind
1t was, however, fine display of emotional act
ing, and received proper recognition from the
large audience present The support was ex-
cellent throughout.
The matinee performance was the Merchant
of Venice, In which Mr.. Barrett appeared as
Shylock. In this personation he added to the
already high reputation he holds in the minds
of the st. Paul public and winning the most
hearty plaudits

ROBERTS Us. THE CITY OF ST PAUL.
Action for $4,000 Damages-Suit Against
the City.


The case of Constantine Roberts against the
city of st. Paul, in which suit was brought for
So, 600 damages, came up in the district court
before Judge Wilkin yesterday afternoon. The
complaint sets forth that plaintiff is the owner
of certain valuable lots in block IS, Robert and
Rundall's addition to st. Paul; that in 1878
the city constructed sewer on Cedar street,
connecting with the Third street and Eighth
street sewers.
1t is alleged that in 1878 the city allowed the
Eighth street sewer to become out of repair,
being in such a dilspidated condition and so
badly out of repair that it no longer carried off
the refuse water.
That in addition to the above the city made
certain Improvements which raised the sur
rounding property so that the refuse
water from the defective sewer was poured on
his property and created pools of stagnant
water.
Plaintiff also alleges that owing to the negli-
gence of defendant one of his houses, situated
on Eighth street, was flooded with water in Oc-
tOber 1879, greatly iniuring the property. 1t
is alleged that the overflow was caused by i'm
proper sewerage. In conclutiOn, it is alleged
that his family has been greatly injured In
health, and that owing to the condition of the
sewer he has been unable te rent his houses.
Judgment is asked against the city for SIS, 600
damages. The answer denies the allegations of
the complainant and alleges that plaintiffs
property has never been more than marsh.
The case is on trial.

Painful Surgical Operation.

About year ago, Mrs. 2. s. Peabody, the
wife of the senior member of the firm of Pea
body Bros. & Co., in stepping from her carriage
had the misfortune to sprain one of her ankles.
She thought little of it at the time, having no
idea that it would result in anything serious.
As time wore on, however, the injury became
more painful and for the past six months she
has been q great sufferer. ALI that medical
skill could do to alleviate the pain and work a
cure has been done, but without avail, and
finally her attending physician, DIR. Murphy,
was compelled to inform her anxious husband
and family that the only hope of prolonging
her life was to smputate the foot, and this OPP
Grafton was performed on Monday afternoon
last by Drs. Murphy Hagan and Hand. Mrs.
Peabody stood the operation like a heroine,
and the numerous friends of this estimable
lady will be pleased to learu that she is now
rapidly regaining her health, with every pros
pect of thorough recovery.

The empress OF Russia died yesterday after

Her death is liable to exercise an i'm

SO long been threatening her husband. The
nature of his malady is such as to afford but
little hope of his complete recovery, and this
