The good citizens of the State are
more to blame for the prevalence of
crime and the lax of execution of the
law, than any other class. If a man
commits a crime in their vicinity,
no matter how heinous, if he hap>
pens to be of respectable family,
they Immediately begin to pity him
and extent to him the hand of SYM
pathy, who is of deserving neither
sympathy nor pity. No wonder
crime is rampant, and it will in
crease unless there is a revolution in
public sentiment 10 regard to res
pectable criminals. No criminal is
respectable, and he is always q Grim
inal who deliberately commits a
crime, DO matter who bis daddy is
nor who bis folks are.-AuguStd

A MEDICAL WONDER.
Philadelphia record.

A man without hair on any part
of his body, who never had any
teeth, who is entirely destitute of the
sense of smell and whose taste is
Just fine enough to detect a piece of
limburger cheese from stone was
exhibited to the physicians of the
Philadelphia County Medical Socie-
ty at its last meeting. What is still
more astonishing about the man, and
upsets all the theories that have
been advanced by medical men, is
that the man has no pores 10 his
skin. Heretofore, it has been main
tanned that man could not live
without porous skin but the more
careful examination under the mi
croscope failed to reveal single
pore in the body of the patient
The mans name is Peter Vending.
He was born in Lebanon county,
Pennsylvania, forty-eight years ago,
and is now living 10 Bismarck, a
small village seven miles south of
Lebanon, with a wife and eight
children. The latter partake of
their fathers peculiarities except
th at not a child has a perfect act of
teeth. Mr.. Vending experiences
inconvenience from his inability to
perspire. The body being deprived
of this means of cooling becomes
intensely hot, and it is necessary to
pour water over bis clothing to keep
the man cool. In working with
heavy tools the man has to wear
gloves to get firm hold. Mr.. Wei"
ing is the youngest of twenty one
children, and with the exception OF
the peculiArities mentioned, he has
good health and has never been sick.
He was brought to this city by Pro-
fessor S. H. Gullford, and first shown
to the students of the Philadelphia
dental college. He has since return,
ed to his home in Lebanon county.

The isolated city of the great

How TO HAVE A GOOD CoMPLEC-
TIoN.--You say that girls who want
to have good complexions should
wash their faces with almost boiling
water. Not only girls should do
this, bat women who do not want to
have wrinkles, am above fifty,
and have not got a wrinkle. This
is due to my having washed my face
night and morning with very, very
hot water. The water tightens the
skin and prevents it from wrinkling.

The Pest Of the Planter.

b The crsyfish Is receiving scientific and
editorial attention in the South. When
he burrows in back yards and cutters
he affords much diversion to the small
Southern boy, who laboriously fishes
for him by dangling string baited with
grissle down-th hole and jerking him
out when he clinches the morsel. He is
also employed in bisque soup, to the
delight of gourmands, and he is really
q valuable crustaeean, when thus
served. In return for these courtesies,
the erayfish makes the spring time
warm for planters by honeycombing
their levees as fast as they build them.
One crayfish burrow may be the start
ing point of q leak which will in an
hour widen to q crevasse,l and let q
flood pour over miles of cultivated land.
There seems to be no means of sup
pressing either him or his subterranean
industry, and he has now grown to be a
terror. Hot water, Paris green and
other death-dealing agents have been
employed in vain, and now the afflicted
landowners, whose levees and revete-
ments are. the sole barriers between
them and destruction, are appealing to
science for bane which will effectually
prevent crayfish engineering. In Cali
fornia, the gopher, a species of marmot,
has long been the plague of farmers and
gardeners. In portions of Texas the
buffalo gnat and redbug have destroyed
herds. or compelled their removal from
tracks otherwise favorable. = Against
these there is neither remedy nor ,satis-
faction. The Southern planter, whom
the crayfish has drowned out, has at
least one recourse. He can eat him.
