81 WANT hero; an uncommon want,
When every age and year brings forth a
new one"
said, or sang, the author OF Don Juan. 1t is
a more uncommon want in these faster times,
when every day brings forth new one. But
we want some one ahead over the champions
in billiards. We are tired of the changes
eternally rung on the old names of Sexton.
Vigneaux, Dion, Schaeffcr, each champion in
turn, till now we have Maurice DAILY. And
our favorite, Maggioli, the handsomest and
most graceful OF them all, the pet of the petit
coats-where is he? Billiardlsts, as a sect.
are exclusive and bigotted, but the lady be.
levers in that faith are marvelously so on
Maggioli. He is their infallibe dogma. He
never failed with his cue-to be beaten. But,
if there had been feminine returning board
in authority, Maggioli would be permanent
champion. We are tired of Sexton, Vieneaux
Schaefer, Dion-Dion, Schaeffer, Vigneaux
Sexton-and DAILY now thrown in. We wan
a billiard hero ahead over these champions
and Maggioh.

A CURIOUS INQUIRY.

A recent Bombay paper, speaking Of the
Irish trials, says; 1.-The average annual
number OF executions for murder in England
is about nine, while in Bombay it is about 49,"
Taking the British population at 80 600, 900
and that of the Indian colony at /, 400 900, it
follows that one person in about 3, soc, 900 is
yearly hanged in England, while in Bo.nbay
it is one in 5000. Thus, one living at Bonn
bay 20 years would acquire one chance in 400
'of being hanged, which. perhaps, makes the
latter the hangingest place out We would
like following these statistics across to this
country, but have not the figures, which makes
all the trouble, as we guess, in finding a
hanginger place than Bombay. If not, it
would be for want OF reformatory measures in
the way Of process.
Another inquiry might be of equal interest.
Take, in our own country, our average annual
number of conviction for murder and the
average number of inexcusable escapes from
conviction, which add and, taking our popu.
lation at 50, ooo, 900, thus have basis for
estimating the number of chances to one an
individual enjoys, in the States and Territor-
les Of the United States, TO escape being
murdered. The decided advantage of the
chances of escape from hanging when guilty
of murder over those of escape from being
murdered would, we fear, turn out to be much
against the moral health of the republic.

PAUL BoYNToN is exhibiting the wonders
of his water proof clothes, as an aquatic show,
in the Hudson river, New York. A man
may traverse the watery vicinity of a fleet,
and without risk or exposure, with torpedoes
blow up the enemy's ships, leaving nothing
for navy to do. 1t might be good thing
for the Government to buy water proof suit
instead of investing in a navy.

In the meantime, the saloon was a scene

TER has caused a Yirtuous vail to ascend

lieYed to be fact However. they were mis-
taken. The RBGI,TER would not publish
such a story except on the best of evidence.
Dteming the authority Of the man him

was given space. The story Was written
sHd brought to this office by Mr.. BrutOn,
the we'll known snuff man, who was with
Mr.. Dillon at the time of the occurrence.
Mr.. Bruton said he would be responsible
for the publication and also left the fJllOw-

himself, when he 3D. was attacked by a
huge hungry looking mastiff, decorating
his leg in the feshy part in q terrible man
ner. Mr.. ID. defended himself as best he
could with the knife he had. The
grOwls and barks of the . Infatuated
brute called three other dogs
to the scene, more fierce than
the first enc aud a lup-earcd cuss made a
spring for Dillou's throat, tearing a scarf
therefrom which he had on to cover 4 two
weeks shirt. His cries and hallows brought
his n. Y. friend TO his rescue, and after a
long and hard fought battle succeeded in
laying two Of the dogs ont and routing the
others. The snuff man tainted from eG-

took a hurried trip to New York to recup-
crate his exhausted energies by baskIng in
