In China.

There Is one custom in the Celestial
Empire that we would like to see turned
loose here. Boys in China are not sup
posedto irresponsible until they arrive at
about the age of twenty years, and their
parents are held accountable for all their
crookedness, Just the same as the owner
of any other dangerous animal is held
responsible for damages.
Supposing bad boy walks up and
throws stone through your bay window
that skaters q fine calla and busts
the statue of the sweet singer OF Mich
igan, you do not go out and chase him
four blocks with an iron rake and club
him till he gets out of reach, but you
just get an old hoe handle that swings
easy, and you search out the boys par
ents and wear them out with that hoe
handle and mix them up with the sand.
Then if the boy don't behave himself
you can go to other relatives of his, and
gradually enlarge the circle of your ac-
quaintance, until you have mauled the
entire relationship, even including the
old grand d-parents of the boy, and If any
of these resist they are subject to impris-
, onment
This law, although apparently string
ent, is good one. It makes parents
take more interest in their children and
look out for them more accurately. 1t
encourages parents to know where their
boys are, and to keep their eyes on them
more than they do in Laramie. Well, if
that law were to go in force here, some
men we know would have to take an
arnica bath twice day and wouldn't
have whole bone in their body. We
like to see bright, active boy with
good health and sound lungs, but the
thriving blossom that will develop into
Jesse James, we have no use for.
If the Chinese law could be enforced
| here against those parents who are
breeding up squad of hoodlums, we
would not weep. It would be pretty
active work for the ayenger and his hoe
handle. but it would institute reform
at least. As it is now, q building can
not be left over night before every pane
of glass is broken and the walls smashed
in. Now If the owner had the right TO
climb the male parent of those boys and
knock his shoulder-b blades through his
spleen and tangle his works all up 30
that hereafter his food wouldn't be any
benefit to him, it might arouse an inter-
est in his children so that he would make
them an ornament to society.
You can't do much with q strange boy
anyhow. If You spank him with an old
window-shutter, he goes home and tells
his father, and the old man tells him to
go right back and do the same thing and
he will stand by him. Then the boy
returns and repeats, and your start aftel
him with the intention Of killing him
but as he turns the corner quarter of .
mile away and puts his thumb on hii
nose and waves his fingers in the air, you
control your brutal temper and go home
That's the reason why in twenty year
from now it will be bitter cold day whel
the telegraph doesn't give us the partic
ulars of twenty-seven murders and thir
teen train robberies.-Lardnaie Boomer

Says recent dispatch from Cairo: "Arabi
Pasha has letter from the Porte, warning him
that he is held responsible for the preservation
Of order and for the safety Of European resi-

suls, and expressed his sincere disposition to
obey it. Arab Pasha assures his friends that
he is perfectly secure with the Sultan, and can
prove his conduct throughout the crisis has
been warranted and authorized by documents
in his possession"

Political RaunbbIe.

The New York Herald publishes letters from
Senator Jones, of Nevada, ex-senator Platt
and five other Stalwarts, to ex-senator Conk-
ling, relative to a conference held at Vice Pres
ident Arthur's house last summer, to urge Mr..
Conkling to be a candidate for reelection, and
to visit the Legislature at Albany in that inter-
est. General Sharpe was at tho council, and
the letters all agree in showing that he, who
now says that he did not urge Mr.. Conkling at
all, was particularly fervid in advising that he
should stand for reelection, and go to Albany
to manage his canvass. 1t will be remembered
what indignation was stirred up throughout
the country by the report that such a council
had been held. The New York Tribune now
takes President Arthur to task for having de-
MED at the time the alleged meeting was held.

Beecher on Guiteau,

AT public dinner in New York last
night Henry Ward Beecher spoke of the
Guiteau trial. He said {" 1 think that the
man who received an inspiration from
Heaven will also have a line dropped to
him from the same direction. l believe in
insanity and | believe that he came rs
near it as a man could and remain sane. 1t
shows the peculiar effect which an over
weening development of pride and vanity
produces. There are people who, no matter
what their moral conviction is, think n
thing is right after having done it. con-
gratulate you that the trial is ended, but
not at the processes which required seventy
days to convict him. Consider that a man
should shoot the President of the United
States in the open street, should be in
prison, and then that it should have taken
seventy days to convict him of having
earned the right of being hung.
don't wonder that all Europe looks with
contempt at us. don't advocate the brew
ity of Russian trials Or German justice, but
that all this continent should watch the
dragging of this case through seventy days
is disgrace to jurisprudence in the land.

A BEAST CAPTURED,
A Negroes Brutal Crime and Move
Arrpef

ArfetN.
On the 2sth of last July an innocent
modest German girl, named Eliza Gun
ningham, was sitting in the dining-room of
little cottage in the woods back of Sol
diers Home and preparing for her moth
or's return, when James Lacey, negro, Is
years of age, entered the house and spoke
to her.
The young woman informed the intruder
that she had no money for him, when he
rcioined: II don't want money, want
something olse," and proceeded to seize the
woman, and throwing her upon sofa,
attempted to accomplish his fendish pur-
pose, in which he would have succeeded, but
for the struggles of the girl, who finally os-
caped from him and ran away when he
fired q shot at her from revolver.
Since that time Lacey has been away
from his homo and living in the woods,
dodging the police. Officer Fifeld has been
for six months trying to catch the man, and
has several times been on the point of
securing his arrest. Last night the officer
located Lacey in house of unenviable
reputation near Fort Totten.
Knowing that he was powerloss while in
uniform, he disguishcd himself in ragged
clothes and corked his face and hands and
proceeded in the disguise of o negro laborer
to Kemp's Inn" at Fort Totten, late last
night, and remained until Lacey came in,
when, after fierce struggle, he succeeded
in arresting him.
Judge Smell sentenced Lacey to one year
in Jail, the extent of the law on a charge OF
assault, after hearing Miss Cunningham S
account Of the affair.
