Under the heading "Disappointtd
"Cruelty" the New York Ledger of the
misleading aud mendscious date OF "Sat.
"urday, october 2mh," prints the fol.
lowing:
1.-THE cat O. nine tails was well laid on, but
blood was drawn only IN one CASE
These words were telegraphed all over the
country few days ago, III an account Of the
public whippings of IL convicted criminals at
New Castle, in the state of Delaware.
They conveyed the impression that not
only the bystanders, who witnessed the hog
ging, but the writer of the telegram himself
had experienced feeling OF Disappointment
at the failure of the lash 10 draw blood from
the backs OF all. The sentiment of cruelty
which is begotten by such brutal punishments
found unconscious expression In the language
of the dispatch.
Knowing the "writer of the telegram "
As well as We do, We will explain to the
Ledger that he was sotuated by no other
feeling than that of giving all the
"news" Of the whippings ed to in
the most compact form, and had no blood
been drawn or had blood been drawn
from every prisoner he would have said
80 in just as many words, and with Just
about the same feeling of dissppoint-
"ment" as he would have exhibited in
chronicling The assembling Of political
convention or the result OF horse race
at an agricultural fair. 1t was piecs OF
news from his standpoint; nothing more
and Within ha vt ba inb La,
been called upon to telegraph the death
Of some worthy and influential man
whose life was worth more to the COM
munity than those OF all the rogues that
sver Rugged the whipping post in New
Castle county.
But there is one lesson, in the few
words quoted, for such sentimentalists al
the editor OF the Ledger, and that is tina,
there can be no great cruelty, physically
in punishment which only draws blooG
in one case out of thirteen. Drawing
blood in this connection simply means thu
slow exudation OF enough blood to b,
seen and not, as an abnormally viviC
imagination might picture, the flow 0
blood in stream like water from
hydrant.
The writer has seen many whipping
at New Castle within the past rs years
and he does not recall having note
within that time, really cruel applioa
ton OF the lash, or case OF man bein
logged who did not well deserve logging
He has seen the two adjoining states {
Maryland and Virginia converted to tn
Delaware idea, that for some otfenses til
whipping post is an eminently ittin
mode OF punishment, and he has ais
observed such recent growth of liz
sentiment in Pennsylvania as has col
strained papers like the Philadelphia
Press and Record and EUening Star
come out squarely in advocacy of tt
restoration of the whipping post in thi
State for the punishment OF wife beaten
Perhaps the Ledger will explain how tn
sentiment Of cruelty" has been begotte
in favor OF "such brutal punishments
in the city of Philadelphia.

Brooklyn has just developed a painfully
shocking case of youthful depravity in the
person Of lad of thirteen who has been
for two yeais ali habitusl druukard. The
history Of the lad is curious and in
structive. His parents are said to be
Scotch Presbyterians, the wife's father
having once been deacon in an Edin-
burgh kirk. After coming to this country
the family for some time regularly attend,
church, but three years ago failing for
tunes necessitated removal to somewhat
disreputable neigborhood. There the
parents broke away from virtuous habits
aud took to drink. The lad did errands
for his parents between beer saloon and
their bone, and he acquired taste for
beer by surreptitiously slipping the bey-
erage on these trips. Gradually he pro-
crossed to stronger drinks and two years
ago he was arrested for drunkenness and
sent to the House of Refuge. Though
utterly Frustrated from long indulgence
he recovered, aud eight months later WIS
discharged, as it was thought, cured.
Soon after his discharge, however, lie
again took to drink, and second time
served term in the House of Refuge,
being discharged only two months ago.
Since then he has scarcely passed single
sober day. His parents are both
drunkards, and when the lad
was last arrested his father lay
in their wretched nome suffering
from stabs received at the hands OF his
drunken wife. The boy is now once
more an inmate of ths House OF Refuge.
1t id hard to believe that the parents Can
really have been Of the sturdy character
which We are accustomed to associate
with Scotch Presbyterisnism, for thei,
sudden downward course Is difficult e
reconcile with such antecsdents, and tn,
Lads easy yielding to the evil habit O
drink seems utterly at Variance with tn,
self-coptrol that should be an inherit
ancs from such psrentage. 1t seems t.
prove, however, that those who Civ,
strong drink to children, or even subiec
them to its temptations, take very serioul
risks, although it is no uncommon THU,
to see whole German family from tn,
father down to the babe in the arm
share in the daily rations OF beer.

ing the baby forward for inspection.
And the poor infant testified its acqui-
essence by crying, which did not seem
to embarrass Mrs. Post. Proceeding at
once to business, Mrs. Post informed
the reporter that the baby was the
quietest baby the world, perfectly
healthy, of French parentage, and two
months old. She combined the voca-
ton of midwife with her other bust
ness, she said, and many OF the chill
dren she "placed" were born up stairs.
This particular baby, however, had
been brought TO her by its mother only
q few days before. She generally
charged nothing but the months board
and expenses tn persons adopting chill
dren. But in this instance she would
charge nothing, as she had been under
no expense. "Of course, if anybody
chooses to give me something l won't
throw it in the fire." she added
"But somebody must pay you for your
time time and troubles?
oh, yes; you understand, of course,
that the parent who wishes to

than even the person who wishes to

"Oh, it's all right" said she nervous
ly, trying to regain the paper, but as
the reporter proceeded to copy it she
went on talking with an assumption OF
indifference. In the paper, which was
signed in trimulous scrawl and sealed
with a wafer, the mother Of the child

reporter that she knew this paper had
no legal significance. Arrangements
were then made to call for the child to-
day. Before he left Mrs. Post declared
to the reporter that she had been thirty

had her actions never been questioned

approved her, as she procured good

Piles are frequently preceded by sense
OF weight in the back, lOins and lower part
