The Reign OF the Bully.

The wanton and lavless use of the
pistol and other deadly weapons Is bring
Ing our State into diagrace. There is DO
public sentiment in favor of shooting
people without provocation. The reason
IL Is permitted is because few bullies
and bOasting towards In certain neigh.
berhoods intimidate the great majority Of
tho people who love peace and Justice.

is permitted because law officers have not
the courage to make the arrests and get
up the indictments. From the reports In

bor's house. Some persons followed him
and shot him as he was running from
the house., These were white men that
did the shooting. In ALL these deeds of
blood there is not fourth of the
white men Of the State that sympathize
with those who commit the deeds.
We believe the reason that such state
Of affairs prevails is because all our peace
offieors, from the Governor down to the
constable, are afraid to use all the means
in their power to repress such crimes and
punish the criminals. A vigorous ad.
ministration Of law il needed The
strong arm OF the Government should be
brought down on evil.doers. Not long
ago, most respectful petition, signed by
many citizens in certain County, was
sent to Governor Thompson, giving In
detail several INSTANCES Of oppression
aud crime, aud showing that the arm of
the law waa paralyzed, Thcse poor peo.t

terror, aud this very terror may have
caused them to exaggerate the evils
inflicted. But tho petition was enough
to cause tho Governor TO diligently in.
quire into the matter, ond that mt once,
and he may have done 1t, for though ex.
ceedingly cautious, he Is not the man Ito
shirk duty when he has made up his
MUD what ought TO be done. Wien !.
state of lawlesspess prevails and q certain
class of citizensfsel that they aroin con-
slant jeopardy, ittis'the duty of the Gov.
ernor to make immediate and thorough
investigation. He should not wait until
the Legislature meets, or refer tho matter
to the sheriff of the County, or the Judge
ofsthaeircuis, buthe should &C. at once,
iafia silat, vigorously. Governor Thomp.t
gon may bq doing this, for he knows his

still where she directed him until she
gave him permission to move. The gas
was administered, Greuze came from his
room holding the spurious gem which
was substituted for the lady's brooch,
and Cheroy was in the act of removing
the jewelry from the lady's neck, when
the mastif sprang upon him and seized
him by the arm.
The next moment Cheroy fell, and the
dog changed his grip to the throat. The
man struggled and Greuze tried in vain
to drag the savage beast away. Cheroy's
cries for help were heard on the street,
and two officers were soon on the spot.
Her brooch was firm in the grasp Of
Cheroy, who was lacerated and bleeding.
The moment the lady recognized her
jewelry, the officers suspicious were
aroused. and they would not allow
Greuze to depart A search was subse-
quently made and a brooch-the very
counterpart, in every respect, of Nine.
Maubert's, but with spurious gems-was
found in Greuze's possession. The plates
disclosed to the eye of sharp detective
the fact that many beautiful pieces of
jewelry had been photographed, and no
doubt remained of the business which
Cheroy and his accomplices had carried
on. Greuze's place in the Rue de Vau-
girard was searched and valuable gems
were found. Cheroy made confession,
and many precious stones were recovered
and restored to their owners.
There is no doubt that the scheme was
of Greuze's concocting, and that Chcroy
was too weak-minded to resist tempta.

The GOndOliers of Venice.

The Venetian gondoliers are hardy.
active, CHEEKY set of men, civil and oblig
ing, limbed like Greek statues and grace
full as greyhounds. John of Bologna
might have nodded his Incompatible
Mercury from one of these 1.-THE limbed,
snewy oarsmen. Their fine develop
ment of form is due to their occupation,
their habit of rowing standing, develop
ing and exercising every muscle in the
frame from throat to heel AS a class
they are the cleanliest set of men to be
found among the lower orders of Europe.
The watery ways on which their days are
spent send up no cloud of dust or dashes
of mud to sully their neat and pictur-
esque attireA
Their hands and faces, bronzed to as
dusky a tint as the sun and the wind can
impart to the human epidermis, and theiI
crisp, curly dark locks, are as free from
soil and as well kept as are those of any
high-bred gentleman. The costume of
gondolier of the better class would be a
handsome one to adopt for fancy dress
ball, since it is very characteristic, and yet
simple and sufficiently in accordance
with a gentleman's every day suit to be
worn without awkwardness. 1t consists
of a loose double breasted jacket of dark
blue cloth with trousers to match. The
jacket is closed with two rows of large,
highly polished brass buttons, aud is
bound around the edges and around the
cuffs and collar and pockets with cloth
of a blue, two shades lighter than the
hue of the garment itself. A glazed
sailors hat, around the crown of which
is passed a ribbon of the lighter shades
of blue, with long floating ends, forms
the headgear.
Sometimes a felt hat, with melon
shaped crown, the brim curving over the
brow and at the back of the head, is
adopted, but the ribbon is never absent.
A sash of cloth, matching the jacket
and trousers, and with long ends fin
ished with wide worsted fringe, is tied
around the waist, the ends falling at the
left side. Sometimes the jacket is piped
with red, or with the same dark blue as
the cloth whereof it is composed; but
the style l have just described is the
most usual and is also the prettiest. 1t
opens at the throat, showing collar and
white necktie, both scrupulously clean,
as are also the white cuffs visible be-
meath the loose sleeves. the linen being
coarse in quality, but of snowy white
ness. Philadelphia Telegraph.
