Crime and Sensational Literature.

The direct connection between s'pen-
ny dreadfuls' and crime has been de-
monstrated over and over again by the
annals of our own police courts. The
inischievous lad who sometimes since
presented a pistol at her Majesty head,
and got well whipped for his pains. was
found in possession of collection of
lives of celebrated highwaymen, and
the various gangs Of youthful burglars
and would-be highwaymen who have
lately appeared in the dock have one
and all modelled their career upon the
heroes Of criminal novels. Only the
other day terrible illustration occurred
OF the actual effect Of this gallows litera-
ture upon weak minds. A young man
10 years Of age named Westby, shot his
father dead at Nottingham, having first
murdered little Office boy at the Office
Of the solicitor where he was employed,
''merely TO strengthen his nerve" and
then took refuge in fowl-house, where
he was captured with revolver in his
possession, with which, as he frankly
owned, he intended, when the police
came, 70 shoot as many as possible.
The key TO this otherwise inexpiica-
BILE outbreak Of homicidal fury was af-
forded by the poor mothers words;
my son was very fond of reading and
would sit for hours at his favorite
MISUNDERSTANDING periodicals and SEN
sational literature" BY this "sensa-
tional literature his habits appear to
have been formed and they were &C.
centric enough. He would not, we are
told, 'allow any one to visit his bed
room, which was entered by an opening
in the floor. To this opening he had at
tached trapdoor, with bolts, and at
night he always fastened himself in.
He had also pulled down the bedstead,
and had been in the habit Of sleeping in
hammock slung up from the roof,
while around the walls of the room
were number of pictures Of the Life
of Dick Turpin,' etc. A singular col
lection Of. cuttings from newspapers
was also found in his desk at Mr.. Fra
ser's Office, including recipes for the
manufacture of guncotton and other ex-
plosives, together with accounts Of mar
yelous adventures" Here is a direct
instance of the effect which the modern
substitutes for the Newgate calendar
have upon weak intellects and crazy
brains. - Sdtarddy ReCielC.

The American Horse.

The shipments of horses from this
country are considerable, but their char
acter is not so web known, says New
York correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette. One of the largest lots ever
shipped from this country was sent to
England in the summer of lS7Sto fill an
order from the American Tram Rail
way company of London. About 1000
horses were shipped on this order. G.
ii. Smith, President of the company, in
a letter to the shipper of the horses on
this side, wrote. 'The American horses
are the toughest and most hardy of any
that we can get. would give two
French horses for one American horse
any day"
Since their merits have become
known many American horses have
been shipped abroad annually, though
in smaller lots than that mentioned.
The class of horses that it pays to ex-
port is either composed of low priced
horses, but hardy and fair sized animals,
such as are used on street railways, or
else is made up of handsome and stylish
coach horses. For the latter there is
continued demand, and a French buyer
has recently paid as high as $3.50 each
for coach horses at the Bulls Head
Market, in this city, for shipment to
Paris. These horses are $50 higher than
at this time last year. Car horses are
about $40 higher on an average. The
street car companies are now using
better class of horses than few years
ago. On the Sixth Avenue line, for in
stance, many fine teams can be seen,
some of which cost $3.50, the price for
single animals ranging from 1928 to
$l75,
A French company, which has con-
tract with the French government, is
now buying horses extensively in tho
West, the animals being destined for the
use of the French cavalry. This de-
mand, II the horses can be got to fill 1t,
will be the largest shipment Of horses
probably that has ever been made from
this country in many years. The broker
who attends to shipping the horses from
this port said recently that the company
wished to ship 5000 horses. Persons fa-
miliar with the horse market, however,
say that so many cannot BIO got togetb-
or 1--WE are shipping for the French
cavalry" said he, - class Of horses
similar to those used on street cars,
about fifteen and half hands high, and
weighing on an average 1000 pounds.
The buyer has no difficulty in buying
such stock at from $50 To $ll5."

The inspector Of Prince Edward Is
land fisheries reports falling off in the
catch Of mackerel, cod and herring; an
increase in the lobster catch, and no re-
suits worth reporting from the salmon
fishery. The canning of mackerel has
become great industry, however, 228,-
95S cans having been put up last year
as against $3.50 the year before. OF
Holsters $685., 1865 cans were put up this
year, as against 3,55l,050 last year.
This would be very satisfactory exhibit
were it not that the mackerel catch de-
creased, and that experts believe the
lobster fishery to be in imminent danger
of destruction.

The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1882-02-18

The spring boom has already op-
ened. 1t was expected that April l
would nearly be here before the tide
of emigration set in, but already the
railroads report that they have hard
work to furnish sufficient rolling stock
to carry those who are coming to the
Northwest, and every train brings
many prospectors to this city.
We clip the the above from the
Moorhead Argus, and what is true of
that place is true of Superior. Not q
day passes but the new faces of the
stanger are seen on our streets looking
over our site and estimating our future
We have vet to hear of one who has not
been fully satisfied with the location
and prospects, but we have seen many
who have been dissatisfied with the
present management of the real estate
interests of the town. The question
is how long is the present state of af-
fairs going to last +? Are we going to
continue to advertise our brilliant pros
poets and invite the stranger to come
to our shores, and then show him
around and point out all the natural
advantages, and beauties of the place,
and tell him ''yes, sir, we have got the
best location for city in the country,
but we can't sell you lot, and if it is
real estate you want you will have to
go elsewhere for it." We do not
think this is the policy aimed at by
our real estate owners, but to all in
tents and purposes it is the policy that
is telling against the place. Strangers
do not like that kind of Treatment, and
where there are so many openings for
men and capital as this country af-
fords, it is hardly presumable that
they are going to sit down with folded
hands and wait year or two for our
property owners to get ready to put
their property into the market Let
this policy be crushed out at once, and
the lots put upon the market, so that
when stranger comes here to locate,
he can buy lot and contract his
building at once. A city without peo-
pie is a mighty thin city as all ought
to know. Let us have a new deal of
of the real estate cards.

Superior is by no means what is
generally called mushroom" town,
though it does resemble that plant
somewhat in the rapidity with which
she is growing. Every day brings to
view the frame of some new dwelling
or business house and these cheerful
and substantial indications of perma-
nent and healthy prosperity greets the
eye, look which way you will This
has been a good winter for building
purposes, and that it has been improv-
ed, is plain to be seen.
-"The Doctrine of Presumed Ded-
ication of Private Property to Public
Use, in its application to RAILROADS" is
the title of phamplet, before us, for
which we are indebted to Represen-
tative McDill. The subject is extern
sively and ably discussed by the au-
thor of the book, George Ticknor Cur
tbs, and we may take occasion to refer
to it at some future time, as it treats
of matter of interest to everybody.
Who is the man that wants to
make fortune by burning brick for
the Superior market ? Those who
profess to know, say we have here the
best of material for the purpose, and
this being the case it ought to be put
to use at once. Here is a splendid
opening for some energetic brick
maker.

part.
