THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.
Things Necessary To Be Done if Civilization
Is to Survive.

Things Necessary To BE Done if Civilization
Is to Survive.
Judge Jameson, in North American Review.
OF the things necessary to be done to save our
civilization the first and most important is to
cause a complete change of attitude on the part
of society toward wrong doing. What is now
the attitude maintained 1t is one either of in
difference, liberation or connivance, or one sug
gestive of paralysis of the power of indignation,
and of every faculty needed for the repression of
crime. Toward the criminal the attitude of the
public is that of weak pity, not unmingled with
admiration The criminal is an unfortunate man,
to save whom from punishment seems to be the
chief end of the law. Look for q moment at his
trial in a court of justice The jury, carefully
selected for their ignorance, are made judges of
both law and fact; to convict they must be
unanimous; if they have a reasonable doubt of
guilt they must acquit they are themselves to
determine what is a reasonable doubt; and to
crown all, they are instructed that it is better
that ten guilty men should escape than that one
! innocent man should be punished. These rules
and maXims, devised centuries ago by merciful
judges, then met the ends of justice, since,
as the laws were, as against the crown officers,
seeking to convict, q person accused had no
chance of acquittal, for he was allowed nei-
Their counsel nor witnesses; but now they ope-
rate to screen the guilty from punishment,
save in a few where there is a general cry
for vengeance against some atrocious offender.
The maxim about the ten guilty men is pressed
upon juries by every felons lawyer as the great
safeguard OF private rlgnUS. In ufuJn however,
the interest of justice would be best subserved
by making it read: 'It is better that ten inno-
cent men should suffer than that one guilty man
should escape" Were that declared to be the
policy of the law juries would be made to feel,
not that the innocent were less deserving than
before Of acquittai. but that the guilty
hundred times more deserving of conviction
and punishment; and the results would
be most salutary In not one case in a
million could an innocent man suffer; and
hardly one in a thousand of the guilty instead
of three out of four, as now would escape.
How necessary such a change of attitude is, may
be seen from the constant recurrence of volun-
tary movements of private citizens intended to
supply the defects of the law. Because great
criminals generally escape punishment, lynching
parties are of weekly occurrence in our country.
Citizens associations have been found necessary
to secure the execution of our municipal laws.
From the announcements constantly appearing
i'll the public journals, that from such day laws,
long in force but left unexecuted, would be
rigidly enforced, one might infer that the duty
of an executive officer is to cause the laws to be
executed when he pleases to do so, not at all,
if such be his will.

Come with me to Tiffany's and you will get a
further idea of how money is flung away. You
will get suggestions of what you would see if
you could peep into the boudoirs and bureaus of
such girls and mothers as those referred to-
Tiffany is crowded with these women on every
fine day and yet it is only one of half-dozen
grand market places of mammon In them you
will see young girls choosing jeweled garter
buckles, ranging in price from 5000 upward to
whatever dizzy heights of value the gems set in
them may bring women paying $500 for one
jeweled smelling bottle; $3.50 for gold-headed
silk UNI hrella. 800 for corset clasps of gold $50
for set of hair-pins $50 for a pearl
and gold glove-buttoner, $500 for pair of opera
glasses crusted with glittering stones. Why
the catalogues issued by these establishments
exceed in sensationalism the widest fancies of

Love. Jealousy. Revenge.
New York Truths Button Holer.

New York Truths Button Holer.
One of the raciest stories have heard lately
is going the rounds 1t is sufficiently vouched
for to make it interesting. A dudsh young hus-
band in this city, have too much pity for him
to give his manufactured to his once pleasant
home early one evening recently and as he en-
tered the door he was nearly struck dumb at the
sight which met his gaze. He saw little love
scene going on between his fair wife and another
dudish young man. Whether their boldness was
due to the fact that the husband was a craven
coward or not 1 can't say; but, at any rate, the
affectionate pair continued to embrace each other
The husband wanted revenge in some way, but
he hadn't pluck enough to pitch into the fellow
who was enjoying ''stolen sweets" Seeing his
rivals silk umbrella in the hatrack, he seized it
spitefully and as he broke it across his knee, he
exclaimed: There, now hope it will rain real
hard tomorrow

From April to MAY.

Annie E Wilson in Sunday school Times.
''Bessy is my sunshine, and Margaret is my
April day" said mamma, as the two little figures
stood at her knee.
A smile of the veriest sunshine spread itself
all over little Bessys face as she went back to
her play in another part of the ROOM But Mar
garet fingered, looking wistfully up into hel
mothers face, a tear half gathering in her blue
eye, though she said nothing.
The mother drew her closer and whispered,
IL wish the showers and storms could stay away,
and both my little girls would be sunshiny all
the time"
Mamma, do you mean because cry and get
madl"
Eyes"
The little face dropped and finger went up
to the corner of the mouth. Mrs. Marshman
touched the downcast forehead with loving lips,
and said
"April comes first in the Spring, little girl,
with sometimes rain and sometimes sunshine,
but most of rain; and then comes May the love
Hest month in all the year, with nearly all sun
shine, and such beautiful, beautiful flowers.
And so, my darling, if you try very hard, and
ask God to help you, you may yet turn to a May
day and your sunshine will be all the ovelier be-
cause it was so hard for you"
By this time the little face was wholly hidden
against mothers breast and remained there for
a good while; then she, too, strayed off to her
play but the earnest look did not pass away;
and many a time when storm or shower seemed
brewing, q determined little smile would come
first as a rainbow, in answer to the mothers anX-
ious look and then, like the sun breaking
through the clouds, it would flood her whole face

vicissitudes of wall Street.


Now IOrk HcraId.
At the lunch-counter at Delmonicos yester
day, there was pointed out gentleman who
stood making luncheon off cake and glass of
water who two years ago made his wife Christ
mas present of 200 in government bonds
He was worth outside of that probably half a
million dollars To-day he is without a dollar
his wife's bonds having been thrown into the
same hole with his own fortune Indeed, the
lunchroom at Delmonico's Broad street house is
always pretty accurate barometer of the for
tunes of stock brokers. During the flush times
from 1879 to the beginning of 1882 the tables
there were always crowded from noon until $780,
and at nearly every table champagne was drunk.
Now beer is the popular beverage, and the tables
are very often deserted, their former patrons
preferring to stand at the counter down stairs
and indulge in sandwich or a cake, and cup
of coffee.

Petroleum, the Salt of the Bible.

Sir Lyon Playfair.
1t seems to be frequently referred to in the
Bible, though biblical chemistry is much OBJ
secured by bad translatons. Many
things become comprehensive il we take the
generic term salt, and apply it to petroleum and
its residue, asphalt. Lots wife, if converted
into pillar of common salt, would have been
washed away'by the first bower of rain; but
pillar of asphalt, even as memorial of her,
would have an enduring monument, and might
have been seen by Josephus and his contempor-
ary Clement of Rome, both of whom declare
that they saw it. &c. also, when we are told
by Mark that everyone shall be sailed
with fire, and every sacrifice shall
be sailed with salt" see
meaning only when l reeollect that, in regions
containing petroleum, sacrifcial fires were fed
with this fuel to aid the burning In like man
ner when Matthew hkens the blessed first to
salt and Immediately afterwards to lighted
torch for candles, as translated, were then I'M
KNOWN, see the connection in his mind. He
Just said that salt which had lost its SAVIOUR was
only fit to be trodden under the foot of men.
Now salt never does lose It's SAVIOUR, and is never
trodden under foot But petroleum does lose its
essence by exposure, and, out Of the residue the
ancents used to make asphalt pavements, as
they do at the present day.
