CURIOSITIES OF CRIME.
Novel Case Mentioned by Dickens
A Police Magistrate Observation.


When Charles Dickens visited Balti-
more in lSl2 the most interesting place
in the city to him seemed tn be the pen
itentiary, and as he was always search
er after the novelties in crime, he
makes mention In his American
Notes Of several unusual cases found
there. One Is of u man who went TO
distiller's and stole a copper measure
containing u quantity of liquor. He
was pursued and taken with the prop
erty in his Possession, and was sen.
fenced to two years i'm prisonmen6.
On coming out of the Jail at the eX-
piration of that term he went back to
the same distiller's and stole the same
copper measure, containing the same
quantity of liquor. There was not the
slightest reason to suppose that the
man wished to return to prison indeed,
everything but the commission OF the
oflense was directly against that ss.
sumption. There are only two ways
of accounting for this extraordinary
proceeding. One Is that, undergoing
so much for this copper measure, be
conceived he had established a sort of
claim and right to it. The other
that, by dint OF long thinking over IL,
~ hNNN obSphiN a Will
and had acquired fascination which
he found impossible to resist swelling
from an earthly copper gallon into su
ethereal golden vat.
In the course of conversation this
case was mentioned to city magist rate
" | have often had similar cases to
ccme under my observation, - said he
"Oae instance remember particular
ly. 1t was that OF cOlored boy who
three times entered the same back
window of his aunt's house and stole
the same dress out of the same room.
Each time he came before me he
seemed entirely unconcerned. In his
case am sure 1t was monomania. Ia
some cases which have seen | think
the feeling which prompted the theft
was more Of sullen stubborn deter
mination to do what they started out
to do, in spite of the law All these
cases are among the many curiosities
OF crime which one daily encounters
in u pnlicelife.V

There seems to be not the least doubt
that the three men, Williams, Moon
and Morgan, were hung in the Indian
Territory on last Saturday, the 18th of
this month.
The particulars OF the hanging are
AS follows: The man Williams was a
white man who had married an Indian
short time since. He established q
considerable farm few miles from
here in the Territory, where he
seems TO have entered ut once
into cooperation with an ex-
tensive band Of horse thieves
who had been carrying on an extensive
business on line passing from Kansas
on the north 10y this place to South
west Texas. Williams, though not
actively engaged himself, seems to
have been harooring the thieves and
assisting them to dispose OF stolen
stock When captured at his place a
few dayssince by Officers Tucker, Cook
ana McNew from this place, he gave
evidence on Morgan aud Moon, and
also told where two stolen horses would
be found The officers then secured

were owned in the Territory, the Off.

A Delegation of Children From the

MI. MCGREGoR, n. Y, June 20.-.-
Gen, Grant did not sleep rs well as
usual last night, the intervals OF wax
ing being more frequent, DR.. Doug
las was called once to clean
the generals throat. After he had
taken food this forenoon the generals
voice was clear. His pulse IS sixty
eight, full strong and regular.
The general did not appear to-day on
the piazza until Lo)n-time. Almost
as soon ~ he had taken his chair on
the piazza, q lad, who headed delega-
ton OF twenty children from the Sara
toga High school, ascended the steps,
hearing in his hands q bouquet, and,
sat the young Spokesman for
the party delivered a carefully pre-
pared declaration of welcome ana sym

general who rose and bowed to the
children family smiled and sienitied
a desire that DR.. Douglas should thank
the children for the greeting and their
token. The doctor did so in few
pleasant words OF thanks, in which he
said the general would be glad to speak
to them for himself il he could, which
was not possible in his condition.
The general was not little touched
by the incident, MS the interest of the
children throughout his sickness has
more deeply affected him than the
more imposing remembranGes of his
friends throughout the country. The
little party of children trooped down
the steps with well-pleased, gladdened
fat es, returning TO Saratoga on the
