Duluth Herald: Duluth, of late,
has had numerous cases of wife whip
ping, but now the Herald has a case
of husband whipping to chronicle. On
Sunday evening Mr.. Hopfmann, land
lord of the Minnesota house, did some
thing contrary to the wishes of his bet
ter half, who, with the assistance of
her daughter, knocked her ''worser
half out in three rounds, rough and
and tumble, the under man to catch
the devil. The fight was witnessed by
an enthusiastic audience, who loudly
cheered The victors. Upon one of the
lookers-on remarking that it was un-
fair for two to pitch on one, Mrs. H.
stated that she could and had knocked
the tar out of the old man alone.

UNLESS,

Who has not suffered does not guess
What pleasure is. Who has not groped
In depths of doubt and hopelessness
Has never truly hoped.
Unless, sometimes, a shadow falls
Upon his mirth, and wells his sight,
And from the darkness drifts the light
OF love at intervals
And that most dear of everything
hold is love and who can sit
With lightest heart and laugh and sing,
Knows not the worth Of It.
Unless, in some strange throng, perchance,
He feels how thrilling sweet 1t is,
One yearning look that answers his
The troth of glance and glance.
Who knows not pain, knows not alas
What pleasure is Who knows not of
The bitter cup that will not pass,
Knows not the taste of love.
oh souls that thirst and hearts that fast,
And natures faint with famishing,
God fondle you, and safely bring
You to your own at last.

"if a man were to fall down and wor.

The proclamation Immediately did much
good. General Gordon, on arrival at
Khartoum, was hailed as a deliverer, and
reports the place to be now as safe as
Cairo. He dismissed the Egyptian Gov
ernor, who has been logging people TO
death, and harassing his subjects in all
ways; burnt all the official registers of
debts, especially debts to the State; pro-
hibited the use of the whip, cleared out the
prisons, which were found full of horrors,
and reduced taxation one-half. The peo-
pie declare that he is better than the
Mahdi, he is raising a Soudanese force,
under a negro who served with distinction i'll
Mexico, and he has acknowledged the Mahdi
as Emir of Kordofan. The SheikhS come in
readily to consult him, he is sending the
Egyptian garrison of Khartoum back to
Cairo, and he proposes, it is stated, shortly
to visit the Mahdi in El Obeid. He is per
tectly confident that he can rescue all the
garrisons, and is certainly within range of
his influence unlesiSted. He is, III fact
and the English public will do well to bear
this i'll mind-for the moment III the only
position which suits his special genius,

From the Spectator Of February 9h

Cetewayo, the former King of Zululand,
died on the Still inst, so suddenly that his
death is attributed in Natal to poison, and
a medical inquiry is to be held. 1t is
much more probable that he died Of dis
ease Of the heart, accelerated by the
e%xcitementS of his later years, the war, his
capture, his visit to England, his "restora-
ton" and his failure to regain his place
among his subjects. According, too, to
the statement Of Mr.. Whiteley, WHO had
some kind ofcharge ofhim i'll London, pub
lished in the PaU MIL Gazette, he delight
ed in drinking hard, at all events since
his deposition. Cetewayo's restoration
proved a failure; but it was q reasonable
experiment, and might have succeeded,
but for the deadly hostility with which he
was regarded in Natal by most Europeans,
including, we fear, a great many officials.
A barbarian-and Cetewayo was that
who resist5 white men is apt to be regarded
with the implacable hostility with which
a slave-owner looks upon a slave who has
mutinied. He can be kindly to all the
world, except the rebel.

Immediately following upon news
of the military disasters in Egypt, a
cer'ain activity was suddenly ohser-

am informed that it has been decided
to send a body of seasoned soldiers

Company for .he despatch of two
large steamers, the Tirnova and
Memphis, capable of accommodating
respectively 1920 and 1000 men,
with their tent eqnipage, arms, and
ammunition. The first idea, as before
reported, of sending cavalry from
Crete has been abandone in coiise-
quence of The present efferveScent

TIE Detection Of Crime.

With a view to facilitate the detection of
crime, the police authorities have lately al
ttrel and improved in matter and form
the Police Gazette, the official organ of the
force. The Gazette was established in 1928,
under the direction Of the chief magistrate,
and when, nc a subsequent period the Me-
tr0politan Police We're instituted 1t was the
only item of the old system Of administra-
ton which was retained. Under the edi-
tDriai management of the chief clerk at
BoW-Strpet P0lice-court, it remained UNI
til the 31St of December OF last year the
same in appearance and style as when it
was Grst published. However valuable it
may have proved in the earlier part of
lis existence, there can be little doubt
that of late wears it has been capable OF
considerable improvement, and 1T was
highly desirable that, to increase lis sphere
of usefulness, some hing should be done to
procure for it a more extended clrculatiOI.
The attention of Mr.. Howard Vincent, dl-
rector Of crimin1i Investigations, has long
been called to these facts; but 1t was not
until the end 0 flaSt year that he was aO!e
to effect a radical change III the conduct or
the paper. With the new year the old To-
lice Gazette disappeared, and 1T has been
succeeded by Il new series under the man
agement Of Mr.. Howard Vincent, which
bids fair to prove of the greatest assist
ance to the police authorities III all parts
of the kingdom, and also to those OF our
colonies. Under it's new management the
Gazette appears as a bi-weekly journal, It's
DAYS of publication being Tuesday and
Friday, and both issues are sent to every
p1licestation in England and to many III
Ireland. India. aud the colonies. 1t thus
becomes a thorough organ OF police inter
communication, and is read by 3,5OO con-
stables IN this country. The Tuesdays
edition contains only a list and deScrlp-
ton of deSerterS and ao>enteeS from Her
Maipsty's service, together with advertise
mentS of Il miscellaneous and non-ottlclal
nature. Fridays issue contains a list OF
criminals who are "wanted," a list OF per-
sons already in custody against whom 1T Is
thought probable other charges may be
brought, and a list of property stolen. In
every case the list is supplemented by the
fulleS5 description of the appearance and
dress of the criminal wanted or IN custody,
and a similar description of the stolen pro
perry. In many instances a wOod-cut is
given of the person or articles as a further
aid TO their apprehension Or recovery. Botn
issues are printed in large clear type. AS
formerly. the cost of publication is borne
by the Treasury but it is satisfactory to
learn that Mr.. Vincent has etfected by his
improvements a saving Of several hun
dreds a year.-Ibad.

Prince Bismarck is greatly anus
ing the Americans by getting saw
agely cross wi h them. The House
Of Representatives recently voted ii
message of condo 'ence to the German
Parliament on the death Of Herr
Laskrr, the great Jewish orator Oh
the Liberal side. The message was
deIiv,rcd by Mr.. Sargent, American
Minister in Berlin, to Pince Bis
marck, with a request that il might
be forwarded to the Roichstag but
the Chancellor his returned it to
Washington, in a despatch sayi 9
that he could not advise tn Enpe OF
to endorse Il testimonial to Herr
Lasker At the same time, the
semi official Press is instructed to
say that NJ. Sarg mt, whom the
Chancellor hat IS, knows no hing Of
Official etiquette, lives amon2 Ljber
ais who know English, AMI WIS at

The Object, of course, is to compel
Mr. Sargent to go, and it viii proba-
bly, be successful, at the cost Of max
ing the American Government b t.
te,ly hostile to Prince Bismarck.
The Prince does not care about that,

Spectator, % Feb.

ppCCCOtbF -
General Gordon, before arriving at
Khartoum, ordered a proclamation to
be affixed to the doors, in which, ac-
cording to the correspondent of the
Times, he promised that he would no
longer interfere with slavery or the
traffic in slaves. We have printed
this proclamation elsewhere, but Reu-
ter forwards another translation, in
which the Convention under which
the slave trade was suppressed by
Ismail Khedivc is expressly repudIa-
ted. 1t is not probably, pyimd tocie
that the General would allude to the
Convention on Il placard, and the ex-
act terms Of his ordinance as well as
its reasons must still be awaited.
The country was at first startled, and
the Tories began questioning the
Government; but it vas speedily
seen hat the proclamation dtd not
refer to the slave trade"-the kid
mapping, that is, of freemrn- but to
the traffic in persons already slaves,
which, if the Soudan is nol to b" an
nexed, there exists no power to stop.
General Gordon, through all the lat
ter part of his Viceroyalty in the Sou
dan, maintained hat slavery could
not be abolished, except by a State
purchase of the slaves, and that the
prevention of the sale Of slaves
could only be carried on by means
which immensely increased their nj
sery. He could, however, he said,
and he would, put down kidnapping.
There is no reason whatever to be-
lieve that he has changed his IDEAS,
or has acted with any other motive
than the reduction Of the sun of hu-
man misery; but his proclamation,
though probably Indispensable, may
weaken the hands of Government IN
pressing emancipation on Turkey,
Egypt, and Zanzibar.

Indian Test for a Mad Dog.

An amusing and at the same time IN
structiye commentary on the new local
self government policy in India is
afforded by the following resolution, re-
Gently issued by municipal committee in
the Northwest Provinces. The subject is
the destruction of mad dogs. 1T is no
doubt impossible to ascertain the degree
of madness of dog killed, and the only
possible way of determining the question
is that whenever the sweepers notice any
dog of serial madness, such as has
begun to bite and assault persons, they
should report it to the Munsarim, who
will issue proper orders for killing the
dog; and after it has been examined by
the native doctor, the person who will
kill it shall be rewarded annas eight for
each of such dogs. The symptoms of
usual madness in dog are-frst,
attacks on people; second, not recogniz-
ing his master; third, senselessness in
general. When these symptoms be
proved to have been truly shown by
dog, such dog will be taken as mad
and unscrupulously killed on the spot.
and the person entitled will be awarded
annas four for each of such dogs. "
