THE lot of the man who got away with
fourteen millions of other peoples money does
not seem to be altogether unhappy Mr.
Ferdinand Ward leaves his luxurious cell in
Ludlow-street Jail when the exigencies of bust
ness or desire for fresh air call him forth
He wanders about the city, dining sumptu-
ously at Delmonicos in the meantime, and
does not get back to his temporary home un-
til the small hours of the morning An ac-
complished and agreeable deputy sheriff ac-
companies Mr. Ward ON his walks abroad, but
this precaution is evidently taken only from a
Difference to unreasonable public sentiment
and not from any fear that the alleged pris-
oner will forget to walk back to the Jail. The
most obvious moral which the aspiring youth
of this country can draw from this interesting
condition of affairs is 'While you're stealth /,
steal plenty, and the law will be very civil
to YOU"

A PROMINENT young society and business man
of Atlanta tried to commit suicide the other day
by shooting himself He inflicted a frightful
wound, but did not die and now has prospect
of recovery. Before the attempt at self-destruc-
ton he wrote letter to friend with directions
on the envelope that 1T should be opened after
his death. The friend still holds the letter un-
opened greatly to the evaporation of the com
munity, which is excited over the event. The
acquaintances of the young man demand to
know what was the cause of the act, and con-
slider themselves aggrieved because the only one
who can solve the mystery refuses to crafty
even his own natural curiosity. AS lesson in
honor this will serve better than a dozen duels
between chivalrous gentlemen, and if the curl
GUS citizens never discover the secret of the af-
fair, so much the better

WHAT will evangelist Moody do without his
Sankey9 1t was the voice of the latter that first
soothed the savage breasts of the English in the
London slums and led them to listen to the ex-
hortations of the preacher; it was his voice that
opened the way to the hearts of the hearers
whenever the two labored among sinners. And
now word comes that this sweet singer is so Sc
riously i'll and his health so broken that his
voice will never be heard again in religious
meetings. 1t seems pathetic that he should be
so silenced; but perhaps, it is as he would have
had it. Having ''sung his soul away" in his
Masters service, who can doubt that it will go
ito everlasting bliss9

AN orthodox Jewish synagogue of Denver has
