In referring to Mrs. Dudley, the New York
World expresses the opinion that cranks
and insane people generally are aroused to
excuses because of the crimes against
popular rights committed by those
who are not crazy. The World says:
1.-The fact appears to be that Rossas assail-
ant has actually been insane, because she at.
tempted to commit suicide. So there can
not be much doubt that she is legally ir-
responsible for her act. Bat does not this
case illustrate the danger of letting cranks
go unrestrsined and unwstchedf Does it
not also show that in q great measure the
murderous procliyities Of crsnks are aroused
and rendered uncomfortable by the excuses,
the wrongful acts and the crimes against
popular rights of those who are generally
rhe victims 7'

GEN. Custer. Conrederate Friend.

Boots and Saddles, by Elizabeth B. Custer.l
The Seventh cavalry were sent to guard
the engineers of the Northern Pacific while
they surveyed the route to the Yellowstone.
This party of citizens joined the command a
few days out from Fort Rice. Gen. Custer
wrote me that he was lying on buffalo robe
in his tent, resting after the march, when he
heard a voice outside asking the sentinel
(Which was Gen. Clusters tent" The gen.
eral called out: "Hallow, old fellow! I
haven't heard that voice N thirteen years,
but know it. Come in and welcomed" Gen.
Rosssr walked in, and such reunion as was
hadl These two had been classmates and
warm friends at West Point, and parted with
sorrow when Gen. Rosser went into the
southern army. Afterwards they had fought
each other in the Shenandoah Valley time
and time again. Both of them lay on the
robe for hours talking over the campaign in
Virginia. In the varying fortunes of war
sometimes one had got possession of the
wagon train belonging to the other. knew
of several occasions when they had captured
each others headquarters wagon, with their
private luggage. If one drove the other
back in retreat, before he went into camp he
wrote a note addressing the other as "Dear
friend" !" and saying, "Yeu may have made
me take few steps this way to day, but I'll
be even with you to morrow. Please accept
my good wishes and this little gift" These
notes and presents were left at the house of
southern woman they retreated out of
the village. Once Gen. Custer took all of
his friends luggage and found in it new
uniform coat of Confederate gray. He wrote
humorous letter that night thanking Gen.
Rosser for setting him up in so many new
things, but audaciously asking him if he
would direct his tailor to make the coat
tails of his next uniform little shorter as
there was difference in the height of the
height of the two men. Gen. Custer captured
cattle at onsa atime, but he was SO
hotly pursued by Gen. Rosser that he had
disnounted, cut whip, and drove them
| himself until they were secured.

This part is played by Madame Judic. The
charming actress plucks fowls if to the
manner born, with her plump white hands.
1t appears that she went every morning to
learn the business in the shop of Pietremons,
the well-known Partisan poulterer. She paid
for her lessons in plucking, and when Pietre-
mont was very busy, she gave him a helping
hand, and served customers with perfect
sang-froid. Pietremont came himself to the
theater and arranged Judic's stall on the first
night A famous critic suggests that the
directors of the Palais Royal might add con
siderably to their receipts by selling the game
and poultry plucked by Madame Judic's
lovely hands.
Apropos of singers, I should like to relate
sn anecdote which, I pretty sure, has
never seen the light before. In 1864 lady
friend of mine in Paris engaged a Swedish
governess for her children. The salary was
agreed upon, ,and, fortnight later, the young
lady was to commence her duties. The fort
night passed and the governess did not
make her appearance. Great was the sur
prise of my friend, a few days later, to see
by the bill of the Theater Lyrique that the
Swedish girl was to make her debut forth
with in ''La Traviata." The young singer
was Christine Nilsson. MAX O'RELL.

From Blackwood's Magazine
If I have not very intimate acquaintance
with cholera, l cannot say the same of yell
low fever, for of this last L have witnessed
the ravages in different parts of the world; 1
have also felt its grip. 1t is u question not
yet, as think, decided. whether yellow fever
is conveyed by infection OF not. Certain. it
is that some persons believe it to be 50; and
I remember a diabolical attempt to introduce
it into healthy region by means of infected
clothing. 1t happened at Bermuda during
the period when North and South were fly
ing at each others throats in the American
States, and when. by reason of the blockade
running good many southerners were col
lected in the Bermuda group. There had
been q bad outbreak of yellow fever while
the war being waged; and before the
disease had quite subsidized, a discovery was
made of q box, the passage of which had
been provided for to the northern States so
that it might arrive in the hottest part of
summer 1t was found to contain the bed
clothes and body linen (as evident from
the condition of the articles) of persons who
had been afflicted with the epidemic. The
intention, no doubt, was to introduce and
spread the pestilenee in the northern towns
aud districts. quite forgot how the at
tempt was first brought to light; but very
little doubt was at the time entertained that
it was deliberately planned, and was to have
been mercilessly carried out. 1t is not
common belief that the free of intoxicaJ-
ing liquors, so common in warm climates,
renders one very susceptible of the fever, and
takes largely from the chances of recovery II
the disease be once induced. In its general,
unmodifed form this belief is certainly in
correct; conditionally, it is probably true.
AS facts in support Of my assertions L adduce:
First that in the visitation at Bermuda
several men known to be steady and hard
drinkers enjoyed complete immunity from
the attacks of fever; second, that in the same
epidemic occasional inebriates-men who
every now and then went in for "burst up"
and then returned to steady habits for a
while-hardly ever escaped, and hardly ever
recovered. The habitual topers not only did
not take the fever, but they seemed to have
an instructive knowledge that they were quite
safe from it. Not one of them evinced the
least apprehension when every one else was
panic stricken; not one of them condescended
to make the slightest alteration in his copious
and fiery potations. They fearlessly per-
formed for the sick and dead offices which
sober men were not very eager about under
taking, and they seemed rather proud that a
time had arrived when they became of some
Importance, for ordinarily they were reputed
and treated as besotted, unless rascals. 1t
is an unpleasant truth for the blue ribbons,

EMPLOYERS, LIABILITY.

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.
A bill before the Massachusetts, legislature
that has more than local interest is the one
called the Employers Liability bill. This
bill is strongly advocated and as strongly op-
posed. Prominent in the opposition are the
representatives of railroad corporations. The
ground taken by the corporations is that,
while they are rightly liable for accidents
which may occur to those who have paid
them, in one form or another, for safe trans
portation, it is not right to hold them re-
sponsible for the damages which engineers,
brakemen, conductors, switchmen and other
employees may receive in the prosecution of
their duties.
The advocates of the proposed bill look at
the matter very differently They maintain,
according to the Boston Herald, that the
methods of labor have SO changed that the
rule of common employment no longer pos
sesses the force that it had a generation or
two ago. Then it might with some justice
have been urged that, if workingman was
injured through the carelessness of another
with whom he was engaged in common en-
ployment it was not fair to hold the common
employer responsible, for one must have
known what the otherwas doing, as labor
was not organized upon large and diversi-
fed scale. But at the present time, in large
manufacturing corporations, or in railroad
service, an employe may be injured or killed
in consequence of the carelessness or igno-
rance of one in the common employ whom he
never saw or even heard of. A brakeman
may be seriously injured through the fault of
tracklayer in not properly doing his work;
OF an operative in factory may be killed be-
cause those who originally constructed. the
factory building did not do their work in
proper manner. Employment has become
greatly diversifed hence the old rules of
common law no longer hold good. 1t is in the
power of the employer to hire dismiss
those whom he chooses He has, or can
have, every opportunity of testing the capa-
bi1ities of those whom he employs, and if he
fails to do this, and loss results from this
failure, surely it is the employer, and not the
employed, who should bear the burden.
The Herald advocates the passage of the
bill, but acknowledges that the question is
one of those where it is impossible to secure
absolute justice. What can be said in favor
of the proposed Employers Liability bill is
that, on the score of equity, it is greatly to be
preferred to the common law of liability,
which we are now living under. 1t will be
interesting to see what the Massachusetts
legislature will do with this bill. The cor
porations have succeeded in postponing ae-
| ton on the matter since 1880, and it would
net be surprising if they should succeed in
| securing another postponement.

The Two Fishers.

Two fishers went out gaily into the North,
Out into the North ere the high,
Ard they chuckled in glee as they sailed forth,
Resolved to capture the trout-or die.
For men will ashland men will lie
About the trout they caught on the fly
Their Sunday school lessons scorning
Two fishers lay nnder the trees at noon,
And big DID the whole of the finny race
For never nibble had touched fly spoon,
And each sighed as he moistened the hole in hi
face.
For men will ashland then will lie,
And the way they catch trout when there's no
body by,
Is something to tell-in the morning.
Two fishers came into the town that night
And their ''speckled beauties were fair to see;
They talked of the sport with keen delight
The envy of all the fraternity.
But men will f1sh-and men will lie;
And what they can't catch they sure t.
buy,
And they never repent-in the morning
