The Boston Young woman.

Boston Journal.
An aged gentleman from the country,
whose own walk is as honest and sturdy as
his conversation, was much amazed yester-
day at beholding the appearance of a Boston
young lady. The fair creature descended
from horse car almost at his feet, teetered
lightly on her toes thrice, adjusted her arms
like the plumed extremities Of u trussed
fowl, permitted her arms to danglc Us do
the fore paws ofa kangaroo, and sailed down
the street with sort of u willowy wabble
which set her head to bobbing after the
fashion Of Chinese doll, her eyes the
while being set and anxious and her whole
appearance being suggestive of dislocation
and distress. And when one of our gilded
youth, in coat with no tail to speak of,
and hat like soup plate cooked over his
left eye, started after her with arms and
legs forming segments of circles after the
approved traditions of the "chicken walk, u
he remarked he'd be revised if he could un-
derstand what had got into these city folks

THE LATEST BULLETIN from the Attor-
ney-General's Bureau of Subornation,
known as Room 50, says that good deal of
evidence is said TO have been collected lately
which tends to show colluson between
prominent contractors and their friend
Brady Sufficient has been discovered and
formulated for presentment to the grand
jury to secure the indictment of four or five
of the most suspected parties" We suppose
that all this has been done during the three
weeks that have elapsed since Billy Cook
declared officially that "there was no case.''
1t is only necessary to add that the grand
jury is not yet adjourned and the weather
is cool But 1t is probable that the "evi-
dence" said to have been collected" will
continue to be presented" not to any grand
jury, but to the syndicate Of newspaper cor
respondents who do the lying for Room 80,
and get paid for it by the appointment OF
their female friends to clerkships in the
Post Office Department.

A MORBID DESIRE for nOtoriety is the mo-
tive ascribed to Partisan lad of 10, who en-
ticed little rag-picker into his own bed
room and there deliberately hacked the child
to pieces. The young hero sensationally en-
tered the police station to give himself up
and rcvel in tho revelation of his own deed
He philosophically explained that, as the
guillotine was defunct and as he had moi
reached an age suited to the scaff'old, he felt
comparatively secure in his person. HI
furthermore freely confessed that, having
stolen money from his employer and spen
it in frolics, he suddenly felt an " Irresistible
impulse" to murder small boy in tin
manner described in novel that had mad
great impression upon his imagination
The court utterly refused to be touched il
any way by the irresistible impulse" AM
gave the young villain the fullest extent o
the law-twenty years at hard labor an
ten years of police surveillance

Murdered NIL their children.

Geneva Dispatch to London Times.
A man and his wife, of the name Of Zys-
sett, have just been sentenced at the Mittel-
land Assizes, Canton Berne to penal SER
vitudc for life for having murdered all their
children, numbering either five or seven.
They admit having put five to death, and
there Is reason to believe that they killed
two Others whose births they concealed.
Their motive for committing crimes so
terribly unnatural and revolving was simply
to save themselves the trouble and expense
of bringing their children up, for, though
in humble circumstances, the Zyssetts seem
to have been far from poor, considerable
sum of money having been found in their
house when they were arrested. Tho plan
they adopted to get rid of the children was
to deprive them of food, and when the pro-
cess of starvation did not appear quick
enough, or the little ones cried too much,
it was accelerated by strangling or knock
ing them on the head When thejury gave
in their verdict they expressed regret that
under the present law of Berne, the Zyssetts
could not be sentenced to some severel
punishment than perpetual imprisonment.

THE PAPERS generally agree that Mr..
Miller will reflect great credit on the State
of New York. For instance, the Brooklyn
Eagle says: "Into the philosophy of this
dwarfed representation we do not care to
enter at length. Nor is prolix discussion
necessary, for it is surely self-evident that
the party which confers the highest honors
and trusts the most weighty duties to men
who are promoted for no better reason than
that they arc inoffensive must, as the phrase
goes, have run to emptyings.

In Is CLAIMED that Millais picture of

ficient for the demands of the reader, the
votary, or for the future historical recogni-

A CONTEMPORARY is pathetically afflicted
at the touching thought that the Parisians
excel lis in making d popular demonstra-
tion of their July festival. The fall of the
Bastile and our Independence Day accident
ally find their anniversaries so nearly to-
gether that contrast and comparison arc i'm
mediate and inevitable. 1t should be re-
mcmbered, however, that such celebra-
tion is very new thing in France, and has
all tho charm of novelty that has been
worn off from ours by repetition. Besides
this, with all our "sprcad-eagle" oratory,
the people of the United States are essen
TALLY unlcmonstrative, especially where
their feelings are most deeply moved
The busy American, who seizes upon the
rare holiday to gather his children around
him, and carry them out of the heated walls
of the city to some quiet country retreat is
probably as thankful for the festival and rs
intclligently grateful for the. day, and con
scious of the sublime significance of what il
typifies as if he walked in procession shout
ing through the streets.

A DYsrEpTIc CONTEMPORARY remarks
that Complaint is made that the State OF

sessment of one per cent. on the official sala-
ries now enjoyed by Ohio men would prob
ably realize several funds the size of tho one
proposed by Mr.. Field. Perhaps the State
of Ohio can be brought to the mark in that
manner

THE recent discovery of coal, both an
thracite and biklminous, at Natal. will do
much to facilitate the introduction of rail-
roads into Africa. A serious impediment
to this work has previously been found in
the expense of importing coal from Eng

placed in direct communication with the
