The friends of the fugitive Captain Howgate
have assumed somewhat novel attitude in
relation to his absence. They assert with
dignity that, conscious Of innocence. he does
moi seek to evade trial that he will return
when the Court is ready to consider his case,
but not before. His imprisonment they regard
as denial of justice and an infringement on
the rights of citizens. Apparently it is not in
Missouri only that peculiar views of law pre-
vail

An occasional correspondent sends us pleas
ant letter full of London gossip which we
print on another page. The notes about the
London clubs, particularly those in which bac-
carat is played, might be read with profit by
certain men in this city, who have recently
added to their numerous chances of losing
money by introducing this game at their club
house In at least one club troubles lately
arising from this source have already been
brought to the attention of the public.

The demand for cheap ferry fares is sweep
ing around the city, and the persistency with
which the demand for lower rates is kept up
seems to indicate that it will soon be less ex-
nensiye than it Is now to get Ill and out of
New York. The demand was first heard from
Hunters Point, and the fight was carried to
the Assembly, with what success yet remains
to be seen. The people on Staten Island now
declare an unwillingness to pay 10 cents for
each ride to the Battery, and are holding meet
ings and appointing committees to see if a re-
duction cannot be obtained. The ride down
the bay is pretty long. and there may be good
reasons why the companies should charge
dime. But the East River is so m,.,h narrower
than the North River that one does not read
ily see Why it should cost more to cross the
former than the latter, even at such points as
the Thirty fourth Street Ferry.

A BIT OF HEMP
In the SherJF's Office Ready for Some
Ones Neck.

Sheriff Athy is preparing for an execution.
There are three ticketholders-Bill Rivers,
Robert Ross and Sandy Matthews, but it is
hardly possible that they will all draw a
prize. Yesterday afternoon an APPEAL re-
porter saw large coil of rope in the sheriff 5
Office and inquired the purpose OF its being
there. The following from a Louisville firm
will fully explain matters: I'VE have this
day expressed the hangman's rope c. o. D.,
per your Instructions. 1t is made of the
very best hemp, select, five-eighths of an inch
thick, and we have given it trial, with a
200-pound iron weight, four feet drop; it
stretched about eight or ten inches. 1t will
stand hanging any sized and weight OF per-
son. Before using it use common soap,
where the moose is made, which will make
the rope slip with ease through the moose.
The moose ought to have from three to five
twists. We think three to four-foot drop
will break any unfortunate's neck. You will
also see that where the rope passes over the
cross-bar that the square corners are rounded,
else it has a tendency to cut the rope"

Richard III.
Last night Mr.. John Mccullough APP
peared in the character OF the "Duke OF
Gloster," the most demoniac instance OF
intellectual evil in the whole realm of stage
creations. History has had to fight hard
against Shakespeare's crime-dipped picture
of the royal marplot. 1t has been decided
by the scholars that Richard" was better
king than his successor, Henry VIE" but
Shakespeare's Orchard" will be the "Glos-
ter" of mems imaginations, despite the his
torians. "IagO" sinks into a very respectable
gentleman, macbeth" becomes a manly
assassin, "Hamlet" a da'etants in murder be-
side the sardonic mirth, the exultant wrong
doing of Richard" Imagination can
not 90 beyond such impersonation
OF evil. Though the master dramatist has
drawn a man with none OF the tenderer feel
ings in his makeup, he has placed in the
seething mass OF moral corruption something
to which, be a man ever so fiendish, he is in
evitably consigned-a conscience. Ten thou
sand living men do not appal him, but the
wandering spirits of four murdered relations
speak daggers 10 his soul. To no finer task
could an actor devote himself than to an
mating this splendid character. Mr.. Nc
Cullough's Richard" is an interesting one
and Is evidence of the steady progress made by
the tragedian. His leve-making with Lady
Anne" was superbly satanic. The tradition
ally popular lines, Richard is himself again."
"Off with his head,' etc, and ga horse! a
horsel" though delivered with ringing effect,
did not at all awaken the applause merited.
The tent scene was very vivid, and the act
ing Of the tragedian there became really
brilliant. When "Gloster" and Richmond"
met to fight for kingdom, the audience was
breathl-ss with interest as the two stalwart
soldiers faced each other Tor the fray. Mr..
Collier, who personated Richmond" did
superbly all through the last act. He has
ence, and he amply did justice TO
his end of the sword fight Mr.
McCullough's Richard" is with its crudi-
ties and It's unhewn edges, respectable
stage figure. The actor probably does not
emphasize enough the deadly hnmor run
ming through the rogue's character, but he is
strong and consistent to his conception

Clever Crows.

have not said any thing about the
crows, which are feature Of Yezo, and
one which the colonists would willingly
dispense with. There are millions Of
them, aud ia many places they break
the silence of the silent land with a
Babel Of noisy discords. They are
everywhere and have attained a degree
of most objectionable imPertinence,
mingled with n cunning and sagacity
which almost put them on n level with
man IL some circumstances. Five of
them was so imprudent as to aGght on
two of my horses, and SO be ferried
across the Yurapugawa. In the inn
garden l saw n dog eating piece of
carrion IN the presence of several of
these covetous birds. They evidently
said a good deal to each other on the
subject, and now and then one or two of
them tried to pull the meat away from
hun, which he resented. AT last big,
strong crow succeeded in tearing off a
I piece, with which he returned TO the
pine where the others were congregated,
and, after much earnest speech, they all
surrounded the dog, and the leading
bird dexterously dropped the small piece
of meat within reach of his mouth,
when he Immediately snapped at it, let
ting go the big piece unwisely for a
second, on which two of the crows flew
away with 1t TO the pine, and with much
futter and hilarity they all ate, or rather
gorged it, the deceived dog looking va
cant and bewildered for a moment, after
which he sat under the tree and barked
at them namely.
A gentleman told me that he saw a
dog holding a piece of meat in like man
ner in the presence of three crows,
which also vainly tried to tear it from
him. and after q consultation he separ-
ated, two going as near as they dared to
the meat, while the third gave his tail q
bite sharp enough to make the dog turn
round with a squeal, on which the other
Williams seized the meat, and the three
fed triumphantly upon it on the top of
wall. In many places they are so ag-
gressive as to destroy crops, unless they
are protected by netting. They assem-
bic on the sore backs of horses and pick
them into holes, and are miscellaneous in
many ways. They are very late in go

morning, and are so bold that they often
