1T may be that rulers and kings can
do no wrong" writes a correspondent
in reference to the general orders to
clean up, or leave in "a hours, or be
fined IS to $50 at the discretion of the
authorities. The same citizen regards
the language used as pretty stroug.
He also asks if credit can be obtained
from the authorities, by a tenant for
improvements made to a landlords
property, or will the authorities make
the landlord give his tenant proper
credit for the same. The problem is
a hard one and can be only answered
by those most interested.

Nocietx CrinnIed.

A most terrible confederation of
circumstances recently occurred in
England. In the first week in May
two high fu~netionaries Of the British
court we're disabled from performing
their functions. These we're the lord
chamberlain, Lord Kenmare, and the
vice chamberlain, Lord Charles Bruce.
The former was forbidden to 60 into
society because his children were sick
with scarlet fever, and the latter was
down" with small pox himself.
Very sad indeed for the suffering par
ties, but their affections are as nothing
to compare with the public suffering.
Announcement had been made by the
lord chamberlain that the queen would
hold two drawingrooms during that
week, and lol the fates had decreed
that the only two officers competent
by court rules to annoUDOe the names
OF the ladies' to her majesty were dis
abled. The British constitution con-
tains no provision for such an emer-
eency. How the difficulty was over.
come the latest advices do not inform
us. All We know is that an agitation
Of the most distressing character per
vadea all ranks of polite life, aud the

Diamonds In the Gutter.
New York SUM-
A brown skinned Italian boy about
twelve years old, having the appear
auce of boot black, entered Mr.. e..
S. Johnson's gold pen factory at Maid
en- lane and Nassau street on Wednes-
day and offered a package Of diamonds
for sale. They were wrapped in a
soiled piece of what is known as dia.
moud paper, and after he had seen
them Mr.. johnson said to the boy
"They're glass aren't they?"
II suppose So" replied the boy.
"What are they worth?"
"How would a dollar strike you?'
The boy was satisfied with the
offer.
Nov, my boy, I'm not going to
give these back to YOU" said Mr..
johnson. They are diamonds and
are ' luable. Where did you get
them?"
The boy said he had found them in
a gutter in John street. Mr.. johnson,
~suspccting that the diamonds had
been stolen from a broker in the
neighborhood. locked them up in his
safe and took the name and address of
the boy.
Mr.. johnson said yesterday that the
stones are worth about $1,000. he
had advertised them, but no one had
properly identified them. ut is as

handing them, but wholly unable to
describe them. One man in the street
had the face to send over his carl and
ask him to send him the stones to look
at. He said he would tell us if they
we're his. Another man said some
diamonds had been missing from the
stock ofhis brother, who at this time
was out Of the city travelling. He
wanted to look at them. Others tried
TO guess at the number OF stones, at
their weight and at the way in which
they were done up when found. 1t

Mr.. johnson said further that the
stones were fine, but had been handled
aud the paper in which they were
wrapped was soiled. He had no
doubt the italian boy had found
them, and had ~innocently and ignor.
antly offered them for sale. He had
called at the store several times
since to get the stones or learn what
was to be done with them, and said
that his father wa intending to call
and claim them. Mr.. johnson will
require them closely described before
delivering them up. One man he
says has put in a claim, apparently in
good faith, into which he shall look
further. If, however, the true owner
of the diamonds is not found within {

ACCIDENT To DIR. ArLEE.
Marrow Escape from Death.

DR.. John L. Atlee met with a pain.
full accident this morning at 10 o'clock,
while driving on East King street neal
Plum. He had been making professional
visits, and was driving in sleigh at the
point named, when he was met by several
other parties in sleighs and market wagons.
In attempting to get out of tho way OF
some of these, he pulled his horse directly
across the rath of Mr.. Frank Sutton and a
companion, who were driving at brisk
rate in an opposite direction. The shaft
of Mr.. SuttOn's sleigh stuck the dasher of
Mr.. AtIee's, and, passing on the sharp
point of the shaft, struck DR.. Atlee just
above the right eye, laying open the
skin from tho eye to the car, and
almost severing the ear. Mr..
Sutton's horse became unruly from the
breaking of the harness, and for time
both gentlemen were in great danger, but
assistance arriving further damage was
prevented. DR.. Atleo was taken to his
home and his son, DR.. John L. Atlee, jr.,
and DR.. Roland were soon in attendance
and dressed his wounds, putting a few
stitches in the injured ear. DR.. Atlee's
injuries are not considered dangerous, but
he had very narrow escape for had the
shaft struck 4 single inch further to the
left it would necessarily have penetrated
his brain through the socket Of the eye.
The accident will prevent DR.. Atlce from
the meeting of the board of d.
rectors of the state asylum at Harrisburg,
which takes place tomorrow.

and procurer, is under arrest in Montreal
and will be brought to Trenton on requi.
sition. The story Of this mans crimes
forms romance of the vericst yellow
covered character, with text as black as
night. Born it Brooklyn, Kaylor was
adopted by a distant relative living in the
province of Quebec. This relative whose
name is Whitfield, is very honorable
gentleman, and is possessed of great wealth
owning considerable estates in the West
Indies. Kaylor having shown himself to
be scoundrcl, Mr.. Whitfield cast him
forth and the young man then threatened
him with death. go great was Mr.. Whit
fields fear of him that he recently, in pas
sing through New York, was attended by
private bodyguard.
Kaylor came to Trenton some time ago
and married a Miss Allen, the daughter of
a prominent lawyer. by whom he has ono
child. 1t is alleged that in deserting his
young wife he stole $500 from his father

spect for his Honor the Judge.
On Monday right the Paterson, N. j.,
police raided cock pit in full blast in the
garret Of Tom Rogers's place, at 20 Pater-
son avenue, and arrested the spectators
and the two game cocks that were about
to engage in battle. They were fine
birds, and when the police took them to
the station the only way they could be
kept apart was by putting them in separate
cells. All night they tried to get at each
other through the barred door, and the
station was made musical with their def
ant growing. Yesterday morning when the
prisoners were arraigned before Recorder
Warren, the rOosters were also taken
into court. Sergeant kccfc had one in a
big bag aud Policeman Magee held the
other under his arm. It was all that Magee
could do to keep the rooster he held from
getting out of his arms and attacking the
challenge to each other and the rooster
that Magec carried had to bc locked up in
an ANTERIOR They did not seem at all
abashed in the presence of the court. Dur
ing the whole Of the proceedings. which
occupied an hour or more, the two kept
up their ringing cock a.doodle- docs. Bird
fanciers said they were as iinc specimens
of game cocks as they ever saw.
Some private business called the re-
cordcr to his chambers, and a wag loosen
ed the string around the neck of the bag,
SO that the cock could get ont, and some
else unfastened the door of the room con-
tanning the other bird. The court room
was crowded with spectators, who antici-
pated seeing battle but just as the
roosters were squaring off, the fun was
spoiled by the return of Judge Warren,
who threatened to commit the perpetrators
of the joke for contempt.
Five of the persons caught at the pit as
could not pay a fine of S. were sent to the
county Jail for twenty days. The agent of
tho Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals then took possession of the
birds to offer them in evidence in another
case before Justice Hudson. They were
taken down stairs to be locked tcmpor-
arily in separate cells. On the way down
they got loose and, before they could be
caught, they had reached each other and
made few feathers fly. As the police
man picked them up. each gave another
defiant crow, and after they had been
locked up in cell they again tried to get
at each other through the bars.
There are several cock pits in Paterson
that have been running for some time, and
the police have determined to break til en-
up.

Burning People Alive.

Cases Of suspended animation, mistaken
for death, or of death in which the appear
ances of life are maintained for time, are
sufficiently numerous to make it desirable
to have some certain and unmistakable
tests of the presence of the vital spark. DR..
William Frazer, in tho Popular Science
Nonthly for January, gives three tests,
which he asserts are absolutely reliable.
The first is the application Of chemical
tests to discover whether the quantity Of
carbonic acid exhaled from the air passages
is greater than that from an equal area
of the skin or not. If it be greater, life
exists if not, the body is dead. The sec.
ond test is the application Of strong elec-
trio currents to tho throat. If muscular
contractions Of the glottis do not ensne,
death is certain. The third and most
simple, as we'll as conclusive, is the appli-
cation of heat to the surface of the body
in the region of the heart sufficient to raise
a blister If the body be alive, a vital red.
ness will appear in the true skin when the
blister is removed if dead, a yell0wisl
white, horny appearance.

Oliver. For while the opposition is split
