Dime Novel Trnin Robbers.

The three train robbers who were sem
fenced to seventy years imprisonment each
at Little Rock, Ark, few days ago were
placed in the penitentiary Sunday night.
All of them appear like ordinary country
boys. Delaney said, on entering the prison ;
ave are poor boys and have lived at st.
Augustine, Fla. We have good relatives
there and hope they will never hear of our
disgrace, All of us were in love and the
girls loved us. We had no money and did
not sec how we could support them If we
got married. We were determined to get
married and so laid our plans to get money.
We read about the James boys in the papers
and saw how easy it was to rob trains and
get away and we decided to rob train.
We left home three weeks ago yesterday
and came direct to Arkansas. After rob-
bling the train we intended to go back home
and settle down. We got only $4,000. |
am sorry we failed to get away, but we
acted like fools after we got the money and
have ourselves only to blame"

A Victim of PickpocIsets.

The Baltimore Sun to-day says
"Pickpockets were very active last night
among the crowds on the streets, and every
man and woman ran great risk of loss who
carried O watch-chain displayed, or afforded
any other indication to the nimble-tingered
experts where to probe for spells. VIM. G.
Tew, who said he was clerk in the Wash
ington city Post-office, had his pocket-book
taken, with $40 in it and his ticket back to
Washington for himself, wife and child.
He had TO return home to go on duty in the
Post-ofice at an early hour, and the loss
caused him to miss the train he intended
going by"

President GarGeId's Last Official

The last official act of the late President
Garfield, the morning he was shot, was to
sign the commission of o. Z. G. Clark, the
present First Assistant Commissioner of
Pensions. After the President was shot,
although every effort was made, the COM
mission could not be found. Last Saturday,
however, the commission was made out
again by President Arthur, who interlined
it so rs to read "This Is to comply with
the wishes of the late President Garfield. !"

Judge Thurman's Return from
EurOpc.


A member of Congress who came yester-
day from New York says he met at the
Fifth.avenue Hotel yesterday ex-senator
Thurman, who, with Mrs. Thurman, had
just arrived from Europe. Our informant
says: Judge Thurman stated that he and
his colleagues of the monetary conference
(Evarts and Howe) did not succeed in tho
main purpose of their mission, which was to
secure an agreement to establish among all
nations relative values of gold aud silver;
but upon review of the entire proceeding of
the conference he finds there was much
moro progress made toward the ultimate
attainment of the object sought by the
United States than one would at first blush
suppose. Prior to the meeting of the
conference u notion had obtained among
the English people that the conference
could result in but little practical impor-
lance, and London business men regard IL
as absurd that, as they maintained, Eng
land should make any sacrifice to benefit
American silver kings" Judge Thurman
says he observed more intelligent under
standing of the question and more inclina-
ton to enter into the purposes of the con-
ference as time progressed; and now
there are numerous British merchants who
admit that stability in the value of silver
would not alone inure to the benefit of the
producers OF the metal, or, as the English
folks denominate them, the "Silver Kings"
In % reasonable time, and probably by the
date when the monetary conference shall be
resumed next spring possibly, Judge
Thurman thinks the business men of Eng
land will be educated to the Uuited
States view, which he has no doubt will be
adopted by all European nations. He says
the best and soundest arguments read in the
conference were decidedly those which com
batted the English idea, that variations in
the relative amounts Of gold and silver
produced would affect their relative values
irrespective of any agreement that may be
made on the subject. Judge Thurman was
yesterday undecided as to his movements
He was inclined TO go in the evening train
to Ohio, so that he might vote at the cleo
tion (Which took place yesterday, or spend
few days IN New York with his daugh-
tiers Mrs. Gov. Mccormick and Mrs. Cole)
and then come to Washington and occupy
his dwelling on Fourteenth street.

Industrial Training.

A sentiment is growing Up in favor
Of something more than the common
school for the youth of America. Reading,
writing, and arithmetic a:e all very
well iii their way, but they do not train
the eye, cultivate the ear. or make the
hand skilltul in the use of tools. In this
respect other nations are far ahead of
the United States. In Australia there
are over thousand :chools, four thou
sand two hundred teachers, and ninety
eight thousand pupils in technical
schools. Bavaria has one thousand SIX
hundred industrial schools for girls. In
Denmark, France, and Germany, there
are literally hundreds of thousands of
boys and girls who are not only learn.
ing how TO read and write, but how to
work with skillful hands under the in.
SEPARATION of an artistic education.
Americans are very clever and intelli-
gent. but the foundations OF technical
education in this country have to be
picked up, they are not taught. In
other words, the number of unskilled
laborers in the United States is far
greater than in any other country. This
is matter which should be considered
in all the school districts of the United
States.-Com. School Visitor.
