An inspection of the criminal dockets of
this county, would convince any one that
the commission of crime IN no uncommon
occurrence, and that large proportion OF
those accused of crime aud even Of those
who are generally believed guilty, escape
punishment. In no other country is human
life 80 little respected as in ours, and no
where is II ~ unsafe. As a people, We
have little regard for the rights of proper
y. Every species Of crime abounds and
goes anpuui-hrd by the law. or course
we are not speaking of any particular sec
ton of country, but intend what we say to
apply To the entire country. We do not
believe that crime is more common, or
less promptly punished in the South than
in the North or West. But crime is abroad
in every portion of the land. Glance nj
almost any new spapcr from any section of
the country, and You will hardly fail To-
hud considerable portion of the paper
devoted To the recital of crimes. With H..
criminals ENJOY Kind Of popularity. In
the present state of our society. there is y
decided tendency. not only t. look over
aud forgive the commission of crime, but
10 PoPaldFize the perpetrators of the mos,
outrascs crimes against the very existence
Of society itself 1t rises az dark fgnre.
and cast u deep shadow over our social
existence. There Seems 70 he no such
thing as hemp OF tho walls Of prison for
the criminal who has friend. and money.
These furnish an almost certain exemp-
ton from punishment, and under this state
of affairs, men rush into the commission Of
crimes reckless Of the consequences, five
wish crime to diminish, We must educate
public sentiment against crime and the
perpetrators of crime.

What are they?" the reporter ia
quired. Those" answered Mrs.

They were brought here long time
ago, and the owners have never re-
turned for them. These you see here
are not quarter of what | have had.
They began accommodating at such a
great rate that l had to pack them up
in boxes and stow them away in the
lumber room. They were left here by
husbands, and, my! you just ought to
see the sorrowful and pitiable-looking
faces they brought with them! The poor
men would come in and, with tears in
their eyes, present photographs of their
deceased wives and ask tor portraits OF
them. Spare neither pains nor money
in making the pictures, they would
say. and, of course, would follow out
instructions. The pictures were fin
ished, but never called for, and hence
it is that you see this collection. Some
of the men have been married, and the
others, suppose, have forgotten that
they ever wanted portraits of their
dead wives. Perhaps they think il
wouldn't do to let a second wife be con.
fronted constantly with a picture OF {
first wife. "-NeW Orleans Times.
