IN Recommendations States OF course it is excit-
ing and we may say picturesque, to be robbed just
little while travelling; but if the thing should
become chronic in the White Mountains people will

The subscriptions received by the New-Yorll
Committee for the relief of Michigan sufferers
amount thus far to $50, 900, $4,000 of which
was received yesterday. This is a good show
ing, but all of this and doubtless more will be
needed. The number of packages of clothes,
ETC., received by the Committee does not
seem to be large No doubt many per-
sons are forwarding directly through the
railroads, but it will do no harm to
direct attention to the fact that the
amount of clothing which could be used to adj
vantage among the unfortunate victims of the
forest fires must be very great. All accounts
agree IN representing large numberg of people
as i'll actual need of clothing, many of them
having been driven by the flames from their
beds at night; and in cases where this did not
occur the complete distinctions of houses
must have meant the loss Of all
surplus articles of clothing. AS it has
often been said, giving away old clothes
Is one OF the easiest forms of benevo-
lence, and yet here it may be one of
the most etiectual Many who cannot give
money could yet give some articles of cloth
ing. The American and United States Ex-
press Companies yesterday informed the Com
mittee that they will forward free of charge
bundles left at their Offices

The wife-nller who escaped yesterday with
sentence to twenty years imprisonment
may congratulate himself upon the fact that
nus victim died by degrees. Although he beat
her with an iron bar, besides kicking her with
thick boots until her body was covered with
bruises, the woman was able to get TO a nolice
station two days after. and tell her story. She
died in the hospital. The jury brought in q
verdict of manslaughter in the first degree
though, as the Recorder remarked in passing
sentence, they would have beenperfectly justified
an hndlng the prisoner guilty of murder in the
nrst degree, as the intent to kill was plain.

The Presidents case showed no new features
yesterday. 1t is plain that his progress toward
recovery must be very slow for month or
two to come. When once the poison IN the
blood has been thrown off, his pro-
gress can be rapid. Recent assurances
nom the surgeons are that period of not
more than five or six weeks will probably be
occupied in this process. The country must
expect, therefore, tedious period of waiting
III which the absence of marked developments
VIII probably be something to be grateful for.
Drs Agnew, Hamilton and Bliss all added
their names yesterday to the certificate, con-
tanned in the morning bulletin, that the Pres-
dent, since going to Long Branch, "has GER
tainly not refrigerated, but, on the contrary,
" has made some progress toward conya-
"lescence." This is an affirmative assurance
which must be regarded as final answer to
all the dlsquieting rumOrs set abroad by news
papers that perform surgical operations upon
the President without the knowledge of his
doctors.

The echoes of Guiteau's shot vibrated in
many strange and remote places, where even
those who think they appreciate most clearly
the intensity OF the National excitement would
nave suspected 1t least. Away up in the re-
cesses OF Clinton County, two inmates of
CLINTON Prison, one of them under sentence
of life imprisonment for murder, o,larrelled in
q discussion of the assassination. and the mur-
derer killed his comrade. Yesterday he was
sentenced to be hanged in November.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1881-09-16
The sentence made up, so far as was possible,
for the shortcomings of the jury.

The Irish National Convention, which began
its deliberations yesterday, proved to be fully
in accord with Mr.. Parnell 1t declared for
home rule, denounced the detention of the
State prisoners, and called for the total aboli-
ton OF landlordsm. 1t decided to raise test
cases to determine the value of the new Land
Act, and resolved to continue the popular agi-
tatlon until Irish demands are conceded
Inc proceedings were orderly and perfect
freedom of opinion evidently prevailed. This
convention doubtless expressed the ma
tonal will of Ireland, and should be heard
with attention by English statesmen. There
are however, some signs of impotence mani
rested In England. The British people think
that they have just accorded great boon to
ireland, and that she ought to be satisfied
she ought, at any rate, to give the Land Act
a fair trial before rejecting it.

Warner Miller Of Hsrkimor wus On
Saturday elected By the Legislature to
succeed Thomas O. Piatt ~ 8 Senator or
the United States for the term which
ends on March 4, 1887.
Mr. Miller was one of the candidates

him. l-il
What kind of man and legislator
Mr.. Miller IL. we learn from our kepub-
ncau contempt ra 10 u, the Timss and tho
Evening Post. Those i0urnx,s expressed
thenlssives candidly and fully about him
more tnau year ago, whom he was not
a candidate Of their party for SenatOr.-
The Times then described him Is "a re-
former whose professions of virtue have
yielded to tue first temptation" "ln.
stead OF resolutely abetaining, ~ many
less pretentious men have done, from
taking any part In legislation in which
he was personally interested, Mr.. Miller
has devoted much time, argument, and
lDftusnce to the task of convincing the
Committee Of Ways and Means that
they ought to leave untouched his pri-
vate monopoly of the manufacture tf
wood pulp" From the same article Of
the Times we also learn that Mr.. Mill.r
Is characterised by ia disregard of tie
line which separates public duty from,
sslf-interest."
The new Senator is described BY the
Evening Post In language scarcely le
vigorous. "He' has presented the dik.
graceful spectacle of member of Con-
gress before the Committee of Ways and
Means endeavoring BY specious areu.
ments and false statements to further
own pecuniary Interests" "He has not
ailo political matters" says the Even.
ing Post, "tO stand for Q moment iu tus
way OF bis private profts."

ferred upon the State of New York; and

SOMEWHAT OF A MYSTERY.
Tho Strange Story Of . Desperately
Depraved Young Woman.

Special officer Farran, OF the Brandy.
wine pa roi, GU Saturday afternoon sr-
rested and took 10 the police station =
young woman giving the name Of
Laura McGrath, aged about Is years,
VINO has been living along lie Braudy.
VINE race for Two or three weeks past in
the most vile and depioved manner.
AT the police station the young woman
presented pitiatle plight. Her clothes
were hl ny dirty, her hair had evidently
net seen u comb for weeks, aud Va, also
matted with corruption from two or
three U dressed aud fostering cuts on
her head, evidently received from n
drunken tumble upon the rocks. It was
lound necessary 10 cat her hair close be.
fore tue wounds could be dressed. At q
hea Lug before Acting Mayor O'NeiIl,
Saturday evening, this miserable crea-
tnfe was fined 81 and costs for disorderiy
conduct.
For awhile nothing was thought of
this case beyond the tact that 1t was one
of those disgusting phases of hum anity
frequently brought to the surface In no
lice court. IL was knewnthat the young
woman had, since the ist OF July, been
spending her time along Lha Brandy wine
In company with lot of men Lost TO all
sense OF decency, who brough; her food
aud kept her constantly soaked In bad
whiskey, In order that they might freely
crafty their beas.ly desires. These
shameless procedures at last became so
public that officer FarrOn took the woman
To the police station.
During Saturday night the woman
partially recovered from the stupor
caused by two weeks ot steady drinking
aud gave The Chief of Police the name
and address of a man Ia PhIlsdeipl,ia
who, she said, was her father. She also
told the Chief that she was brou ybt to
Wilmington by a young nan Of Phila-
delphia, who took her out Brandywine.
got her drunk, took all her mouey and
then deserted her. On recovering she q
once entered upon the frightful debauch
described above.
During yesterday romantic stoiy be
gan to circulate in regard to this young
woman mainly to the effect that she was
a "maiden, young and fair" who had
been brought TO Wilmington aud under
a promise Of marriage betrayed aud
ruined by base wretch who afterwards
drugged and robbed her and left her on,
Brandywine. 1t was reported that the
parties stopped for two or three days, at
a well-known hotol, as man and wife.
but on the Fourth Of July he left her to
her fate.
This story, while believed by many, 10 1
regarded by others as highly improvable
the superstition being that the girl was
already stepped ia sin, aud came down
here on a spree with some wretch who
shipped away as soon as he recovered
his sober senses. It.wss reported that |
The girls father was In town, last night,
looking for her betrayer, but At the po-
lice station 1t was announced that be |
