THURSDAY, July 29th, 1880. (

THURSDAY, July 29th, 1880
DEAR MOTHER Received your let
ter, of July 3rd, at Stockholm, on last
Tuesday morning Am gald that the
prospects for harvest are so good.
We spent Sunday, Monday and Tues.
dav in Stockholm and environs, going
also to Upsala, the old capital of Swe-
den. Near here are three mounds, in
which tradition says are buried the
three old gods, Odin, Thor and Freya,
after whom are named Wednesday
Thursday and Friday. Here also is
the oldest church in Sweden its walls
are six feet thick. At Upsala we also
saw in the University what is called
the Codes Argcnteus, being the oldest
manuscript copy of the Gospels in the
world.
Stockholm is a very bright, attrac-
tive place 1t is built upon nine islands
in Lake Malar which are connected by
bridges. Flocks Of little steamers, not
much larger than the little fellow you
had on the Connoquenessing last Sum-
mer, fit about in every direction with
their passengers they look very gay
with their flags and banners floating
by day and their red and green lamps
burning by night. We left there on
Tuesday evening last, and have since
been winding our way in and out
among the thousands and thousands of
green isles with which the Gulf of
Bothnia is dotted. The days have
been clear and warm, and the nights
frightened by the moons cheerful light.
/ met on the steamer yesterday Hon.
Dannfelt, who during the Centennial
was over the Swedish Department. |
had letters to him but had not present
ed them, partly from want of time and
partly because | met at our hotel Mr.
Hayden Edwards, U. S. Consul Gen.
eral at st. Petersburg. He told me all
| wanted to know about getting to and
out of Russia Mr. Dannfelt and /,
however, had long and pleasant talks
about Philadelphia He had recent
copy of the Public Ledger, which you
may easily believe l was glad to read.
He got off at Helsingfors, the capital
of Finland, where we arrived this
morning and stayed nearly all day re-
ceiving and discharging cargo. Hell
singfors contains grand and imposing
Lutheran Cathedral, seating 1000 peo-
pie, and very odd looking, but beau
tiful Greek church, whose various
roofs are all painted white, giving it
the appearance of being covered with
snow as we first saw it.
We stopped most of yesterday at
Abo, another city of Finland contain
ing 10000 people. This steamer, the
captain tells us, is the same that con-
veyed General Grant from Stockholm
to Russia, though the Emperor sent
his Imperial railroad car to Abo for
him, the General preferred his quiet
sail among these numerous and pictu-
rescue islands. Tomorrow at noon
we expect to reach st. Petersburg and
shall spend several days there.

ENDING ms MISERY.
of an Invalid narbor.

John Bishop, Swiss barber and proprietor
OF shop at No. 1l33 Seventh street, com
mitted suicide yesterday. Bishop, who is u
widower forty-on years Of age, came to this
city about eighteen months ago, aud opened
shop in Mr.. Harbrechts house, No. 1913
Seventh street, living in a room over the shop.
Last winter he had an attack of heart disease,
and since then has suffered with q drop.
steal complaint. His afliction rendered
him quite dcspondent, and especially
so in the last few days, during
which his health had grown much poorer
About o'clock yesterday morning he sent
down stairs for one of his iourneymen, a coll
ored man named Cooper, TO come up and shave
him. The man brought up his razor and other
apparatus and began the operation of shaving,
but was sent down stairs again to get some
camphor ice. When Cooper returned, Bishop
was weltoring IN blood, having cut horrible
cash in his throat with tho razor which
Cooper had left in the room. Bishop exclaimed
to the Mortified iourneyman: Mover mind, /
have cut my throat" A few minutes after
ward, aud before medical assistance could be
obtained, he died. Coroner Patterson after
making an investigation, deemed an inquest
unnecessary, as il was evident that the de-
ceased was driven TO the desperate decd by
physical suffering. He leaves no relatives in
this country, but left will bequeatling his
effects TO Mr.. Harbccht, who took charge OF
the remains

DECREASE OF CRIME.
Judge Smell Explains the Reduction In tho
Police Court Revenues.

In a long letter to tho District commission
ers Judge Spoll explains tho decrease in the
revenues of the police court, on the ground Of
the decrease Of crime in tho city. Ho says
nncs imposed are amply sufficient to yield
large revenue, and that during the current
year the amount imposed exceeded $4,000,
which would have afforded net revenue of
about $4,000 rs the expenses Of the court do
not exceed 81 GOO y month. Tho cause OF non-
payment of fines is the poverty of criminals.
The rigid enforcement Of the statue against
second OfIenso of petit larceny has thinned out
the crowd Of thieves, and thoy are largely
decreased in Washington during the last ten
years. Piekpockcts, burglars aud murderers
are promptly tried, and when guilty, con-
yicted and punished. Another cause Of
dimnution of receipts is a perversion of a
United States statute designed to relieve
criminals convicted of revenue oifenses
when large fines are imposed. Another
cause is the law allowing parties to
testify in their own behalf While the
general effect of this statute may be
good, it causes great many small cases to fail
Another cause was the suspension of the board
OF health ordinances. In closing, Judge Smell
calls attention to the fact that courts arc not
established as aids to the revenue, aud says he
is confident that tile commissioners would not
have any magistrate in this District in trying
the unfortunate classes brought before him,
consider for moment whether his decision is
to put money in their treasury. He says that
fines enough arc imposed to yield about S20,-
OOO net revenue, and that the United States
statute, rendering the imposition of large fines
impossible, should be amended, aud that the
police force should be increased to correspond
with the increase OF population and business.
