derer, INDUCED in the afectation of insanity-a
trick that could not originate in the mind OF
contrite being. Balbo, who cut his wifes throat,
then stabbed her, and then nailed up the windows
and carried off the key of the room, suffered
from fright when hope left him, but never from
remorse. He enjoyed life in jail as if it were
prolonged holiday, during which he was surfeited
with food, clothing and attention such as he
had been wholly unused to- Only one man
knows what he said to his priest, but to his other
visitors he always justified his crime with the
statement: 'She was unfaithful. She tried to
stab me, aud when she bit my finger took the
knife and stabbed her" The police believed
she was asleep when he butchered her He had
two miserable interruptions to his pleasant stay
in jail-one when he saw Cox led out to die, and
one when he was himself led out
Nturderers do not all die alike. Every one
does not prove the craven Fagin was. All do
not die with such a flourish of bravado as dlstln-
guished Dick Turpins last moments. In fact, at
the majority of executions, the behavior OF the
condemned man is such as to give rise to the pc
lief that he has been too much bolstered
up with liquor The reporter cannot now re-
member more than one, or, at the most, two
hangings at which he did not hear some of the
spectators declare that the wretch was intoXi-
Gated. The short journey to the scaffold is per
formed with a stumbling, uncertain step; the
mans chin is fallen on his breast; his eyes are
either closed or yield vacant, stupid stare; he
mumbles what he has to say, mechanically
echoes the words of the priest by his side, or he
talks nonsense, repeating his sentences like a
Eighty fever patient 1t is natural to suppose that
liquor is at work but the fact is that liquor Is
seldom given to these men. The jailers are afraid
to administer it, because of the talk it creates
and the popular objection to it. The fact Of the
matter seems to be, that the sudden and utter
loss OF the hope that buoys all humanity from
the cradle to the grave together with the sharp
contrast in the bearing of every man whom the
murderer sees or speaks to, the impressive earn
estness of the priest, the awful sound of ham
mer. ak and saw that float in the cell windows
the very atmosphere the doomed man breathes
all these promote a state of terror, detection
and helpless hopelessness that sends him forth
into the jail-yard a great deal more dead than
alive. tits disposition of nature more grateful
to the miscreant than the saturation of his
senses with alcohol would be.

improved Cattle Cars,

We ask attention to an appeal from the Ameri-
can Humane Association in favor of improved
cattle cars which will be found in our advertis-
ing columns OF the sufferings Of animals in
the common car no one can be wholly ignorant
who has seen trains of them on our railroads. or
who has ever visited any great cattleyar'J when
the cars were being unloaded there Is all this
suffering necessary The improved car, in which
animals can be fed, watered and have rest while
on their journey answers this pathetic question
1t IS not necessary.
The number of animals in car will be some
what smaller, but if there were no pecTniary
compensations for this. the sufferngs saved
would be reason enough for a change; but the use
of such cars would free railroads from the obi
CATION to rest five hours after every twenty eight,
and would get the cattle TO their destination free
from bruises and fever, which now lower their
market value and cause much of their meat to
be unfit for human consumption. The testimony
of boards of health and of other competent per
sons on THIS point is conclusive. and has never
been disputed.
The argument, then, is not only human
tartan one, which will weigh more and more i'll
thoughtful minds, but it touches the health OF
communities, and concerns every consumer Of
flesh.
Such appeals cannot, in the nature of things
be III vain We commend the subject to the Sc
rious attention Of all our readers.

Shakespeare Sold the Use of His Name.

Addiction Morgan in May Manhattan.
Now William Shakespeare, loved and loving
gentleman as he was, is understood to have been
very shrewd in money matters. None knew
the meaning of poverty better than he Had he
not been so, and rightly so, his father would
never have stirred outside the door; the Lambert
mortgages would have remained unpaid; nor
would the Quiney's have swarmed around for
their tnsman's crumbs, and nudged each
other to look up good things where he could
place the wealth they saw him boarding. Is it
not, therefore, impossible to suppose him ignor-
ant of OF indifferent to the cash value of his own
name! Is it not quite as impossible, again, to
believe that, if printed at his own instance, he
allowed his publisher to dedicate the book to a
friend; that if dedicated to either of his own pa
irons, Pembroke or Southampton, he (Shak-
spearel was unable to write his own dedication;
or, writing it, asked his publisher to sign it, If
the escape from these difficulties is not by way
of assumption that Shakespeare sold the use OF
his name to the printers Of anonymous poetry
precisely as he is known to have sold it to the
printers of anonymous plays, then those Difficult
ties are hopeless indeed!

Friends of Christine WILSON'S Childhood.

Sycamore IN. Special. -.4-
There went to the luxurious suite of rooms oc-
cupied by Christine Nilsson in the Grand Pacific
in Chicago during her recent visit to that city,
woman plainly but neatly dressed, and whose
looks showed that she had not met with the
same success as the renowned singer. This was
Eve Nilsson, wife of an employee in the pillow fac
tory here. In their childhood, in their southern
Swedish home she and Christine had been play
mates and companions, and had lived under
the same roof, they sharing the joys and sorrows
of life alike, Old John Ingmansun, now living
here. poor and decrepit, held the prima donni
on his knee, little thinking that the peasant CIR
pie enthralled Ingmansun then followed the
occupation of peddler of iron and tinware, and
he used to take the youthful Christine with him
to play and sing in order so draw crowds that he
might dispose of his wares.

Mr.. Calkins,s Political Views.

Philadelphia Press, Sunday.
Representative Calkins who has just returned
from Indiana, says that as far as he can see,
everything looks favorable to his nomination for
Governor of the State. His lines are il good
order and all looks we'll and he says that the
Republicans of the State favor the nomination
of an Indiana man for President; but he thinks
the State will under no circumstances go Demo
cratic in the presidential election Next to the
home candidates he thinks the State would go
strongest for Blaine. Arthur, however he says,
could carry the State.

Men Who Do Not Drink to Excess.

Phllauelphla Record
The Jews are not abstainers from strong
drink. They use wine for the good thing it is,
not for the devilish thing it becomes when the
reason is drowned in it. They seldom drink to
excess or become drunkards. In this respect
they set an example of temperance and self re-
strant which is wonderful tribute to the value
of their moral training. If they would teach us
the secret of their ability to keep the straight
path between indulgence and abstinence, it
would be better than all the pledges and penal
enactments by which we undertake to deal with
a matter which is out of the reach of law.
