The Wrong Man Hanged.

The Boston Herald last week publish
ed a three-cOlumn sensation, ia the
nature OF q revelation. relating to one
OF the fOulest murders ever committed
in this country. Sixteen years ago lit
tie Mary MOhrimann, 6-year-Old
daughter of a poor washsrwOman in
Philadelphia, was lursd from her home
by an unknown man,Ian two days later
her body, horribly mutilated, and show
ing marks OF q crime worse than MUIR
der, was found in the river. Agar after
the commission of the crime John Han
lon, barber of the nsighbOrhO0d, was
arrested for criminal assault upon
little girl. and was sent to the psniten-
tiary. detective who believed him
guilty Of the murder of Mary MOhri-
mann had a shrewd thief put in the
same cell with him for the purpose of
securing confession. This man, after
remaining with HanlOn for several
months, presented to his employer, the
detective, an alleged confession made to
him by HanlOn, which, If true, painted
him in most damning cOlOrs. and made
him one Of the vilest wretches that ever
breathed.
Upon this confession Hanlon was
charged with murder and brought to
trial early in 1870. This was one of the
most sensational trials on record, and
lasted from spring until fall. HanlOa,
whose relation by marriage were in
good circumstances, was defended by
Benjamin Harris Brewster and other
able attorneys. No direct evidence was
presented to convict the barber, but rir-
cumstantial evidence was pretty strong,
and the alleged confession, which no
denied, convicted him and sent him 10
the gallows. He died maintaining his
Innocence. The Boston Herald now
claims to have discovered in Boston an
old criminal who not long ago confessed
to having committed this crime, and
arranged with the eOayiet DunR, who
was in the same cell with Hanl0n. for
this confession. In this way the crime
was fastened upon HanlOn and he was
sent to his death for the crime Of man
who still lives. The Herald does not
give the felon's name, but claims to have
an eye on him and hopes to bring him
to justice.

What is q Subsidy-Hunter?

John Roach has never received pen
ny of subsidy in any form, 80 far as we
have learned. He has meyer obtained
contract from the United States on any
other terms than those of giving the
government more value for less money
than any other person stood ready to
give. He has never defaulted on con-
tract, or asked that the price stipulated
be raised, or that the work 10 be done be
diminished, or that the terms be made
in any respect more advantageous to
him than when they were agreed to. He
has performed iron and steel work 10
the value Of $100CC0C00, chiefly -.
private owners, without paying a bride,
defaulJing on a contract, without a COM
plant from, or quarrel with those for
whom he performed it. At least he
offers large reward to any one who
will prove the contrary. In what sense
then can John Roach DO called subsidy
beggar? He has sometimes asked that
the postage actually earned by Ameri-
can vessels for carrying mails should be
paid to them. At present the govern.
ment collects for postage on ocean let
tiers the sum of 81, 10000 annually, and
pays TO the vessels which carry the let
| tiers $4,000, thus making q net profit
on its ocean mails of $1,500,CC0 toward
paying the cost of its star-rOutss and
other territorial and overland mails.
John Roach has denounced this outrage
in printed speeches, whose facts have
meyer been retuted or authoritatively
denied. Does this make him a subsidy
hunter? He points out the fact that
France bounties the business of sailing
merchant vessels, and that England
pays 100000 year to her various
steamer lines, while the United States
pays nothing, but on the contrary. taxes
the vessels which carry ocean mails Il
sustain her postal land routes.
The alien edited free foreign trade or
gans of New York are just now jubilan
over the failure of the Dolphin on he
trial trip. Let them look sharp tina
they do not play into the hands Of JohI
Roach. Let them irst find out whethe
he prefers the Dolphin to 90 to tn
United States or to Russia. and from
which he is offered the highest price,

Bits of Information.

A pension which the Swiss Government
paid for over 500 years has just come to
an end, and the Government so much
regrets its extinction that it ia adyer-
Using for an heir. In 1882 Count Ru-
dOlph, OF KibOurg, marched to the as
sault of the town of SOleure. But one
Hans Roth peasant living in neigh
boring village, carried the tOwNspeOple
intelligence OF what was brewing, and
SOleure was saved. For this service
Hans was rewarded with an annuity to

Of the advertisement all the ROths in

Australia is by no means destitute of
rivers. The Murray is larger than the
Danube, being navigable 1ll6 miles in
New South Wales and 587 in South Aus
tralia. The Edwards and the WakOOl
tributaries of the Murray are together
navigable for 400 miles; and the Mar
rumbidgee, another tributary, is naviga-
bic 500 miles. The Darling is navigable
for 1853 miles from Wentworth, where
1t joins the Murray, to Walgett in the
North, making in all 3774 miles of in
land navigablo waters in this cOlOny
and making the Ravigable water in one
line from Walgett to Wentworth 1855
miles, thence to the sea 5S7, or in all
2345 miles, so that the Darling stands
third amongst the rivers of the world
estimated by their navigable length.

Predicting Dry Weather.

Some time ago the discovery was
made by Mons. CHI. Montigny, by means
of beautiful instrument called the
scintillometer, that blue largely pre-
dominates in the twinkling of the stars
when there is much water in the atmos-
phers, and the preponderance Of green
or uiOlet is indicative of great dryness.
late series Of tables by this Brussels ga.
yant indicates that he has hit upon a
law by which wet or dry season may
be predicted with great certainty. Per.
haps the best test Of the sOundness OF
his views il found in the fact that his

ing drought in Belgium of the years
1883 and 1884 were fulfilled to the letter

Care of Horses Feet.

Horses in civilized lands suffer more
from ailments of the feet than any other
cause. The feet Of a horse are subject
to many injuries, both from bad shOsing
and from ill-kept roads, and it il impOr-
tant for owners of horses, to study we'll
how these cases Of diseased feet can be
avoided. But in the consideration of
this question there are some points not
well understood. The London Stock
keeper" gives statement that horse
weighing sixteen hundred pounds, when
drawing load, bears weight upon the
feet of two tons, the extra pressure be-
ing caused by the downward force Of the
act of drawing. Now an average horses
draft power amounts only to forward
strain of one hundred and hftylseven
pounds. As the horse is only sxerting
this forward force by pressure upon the
collar, IL is clear, the feet cannot press
with any more force upon the ground,
so that the above explanation Of the
cause Of the injury to the horses foot, is
all imaginary. 1t is not the force exert.
cd by work at all. A wild horse, gallOp-
ing at the top of his speed, presses upon
the ground with his feet more than 9
