"The Sneak Packo

Shoplifters have been active du-
 ring the present busy season in
 the retail stores, though their work
 was singularly hard to detect. It
 was only in the losses of valuable
 goods that the merchants became
 aware of what was going on.
 Thieving by professionals had for
 several years been all but abol-
 ished through the employment of
 spies and the merciless prosecution
 of culprits; but this falls trade
 had no sooner set in than the rob-
 berries began. The explanation
 has been found in curious parcel seized in the possession of a noted
 thief called "Molly Bawn." It looked like an ordinary bundle, about foot long by four inches thick, and was covered by brown paper, tied with twine, and printed with the card of a leading store, so that 1t had exactly the aspect of shoppers casual purchase. But It was a cleverly-devised imple- ment. One end was a flap, across which the seeming string was stiff wire, on which the movable section turned as on pivot, mak- Ing an opening into the hollow in terior. The operator would lay it on the counter, amidst some small and costly articles at which she pretended to be looking with a view to purchase, and then, at an moment, she would sly y open the end, slide in piece of lace, jewelry, or other small ob- ect, and smoothly get away. A luiet hunt is being made for the manufacturer of the ''sneak pack" IS the ingenious thing is called. The belief Is that it is the inven- ion of receiver of stolen goods, vho lends duplicates to women md girls on condition that the proceeds of it's use be shared. Merchants are thought to have very heavy losses. New York Exchange.

The Columbus (S. O. Register of a recent date states that an i'm mense fowl-hawk flew into the yard of Robert Brodie, of Taber- nacle Township, and while strug- gling with a fowl on the ground was seized by the wings by Mir. Brodie, when the hawk let go of the prey and fastened its talons into his legs so that he could not move. The hawk had Mir. Brodie by the legs and MT. Brodie had the hawk by the wings, but neither could do any more. Assistance came in answer to his cries in the person of his wife, who chopped off the hawks head with a hatchet. and then released her husband from an embrace that was any thing but tender and loving.

Some American Notes by Al
 En&lishman.

The ordinary American, says
 the London Globe, drinks his
 liquor at a gulp, travels quickly,
 thinks quickly, and likes to read
 his newspaper quickly, and to
 grasp in an augenblick (as the
 Germans would say) what is going
 on all over the world. The jour
 nalist supplies him in consequence
 with cleverly- constructed head
 lines, so worded that glance at
 them tells the contents of the ar-
 ticle which follows, and enables
 him to decide whether or not it
 contains matter which will interest
 him. On all the large newspapers
 in the United States man is es-
 peclally engaged to write these
 headlines, and some of them are
 marvels of skillful epitomizing.
 For a people who demand such 2
 brief yet complete epitoms of
 events, it were worse than useless ln an editor to publish full details. It IS therefore impressed upon ev- cry newspaper writer that he shall aim at consciseness on every occa- sion. It is hardly possible that there can be any speech, address, lecture, or sermon worthy of re- porting at length; it is impossible that any trial, examination, or meeting can be worthy of report in extenso. You have SO much space," says the editor to the re- porter; ''say all you can in that" And even after this injunction the editor will generally find use for his blue pencil.
 Every member of the staff of an American newspaper is expected to keep his eyes and ears wide. open. He must be on the alert to catch and remember all that is go- ing on around him, veritable picker-up of unconsidered trifies. On this account there is always a friendly rivalry in. existence be- tween the stafs of all the news papers in a city. Each man Is ever trying to obtain piece of news for his paper that no other paper will have on the following morning, and hence the brightness and originality of American news papers, though it is also from th1s cause that too often their news is untrustworthy. But there, again, the American receptive faculties are constituted differently from the English. What IS read in the newspapers in the United States a always taken cum grano sails, md the true American will sooner y far read racily-written article, 'e 1t ever so short, and not alto ,ether correct in details, than he will sit and peruse a lengthy hough absolutely correct account # the most important event of the lay. Of this fact the journalist 5 fully aware; he therefore pre- 'ares an olla-podrida of para .raphs, clippings, telegrams, short dltorials, personal chats, special rticles, and satirical (sometimes currilous) critiques on everything nd everybody.

Four Times Sentenced to Death.

ouH AAHcS StnaenceO 10 Deatn.
 A special correspondent of the
 Chicago Tribune, writing from
 Salt Lake City, says: Five years
 ago last July John E. Turner, a
 young man just starting out in
 life for himself, was murdered in
 camp at Park City, and his two
 teams taken by Fred Hopt, alias
 Welcome, and one Emerson, dr1v-
 en into Wyoming, and sold. They
 covered the body of Turner with
 sacks of grain in one of the wag-
 ons, and hauled it to spot thirty
 miles from the scene of the mur-
 der, where they hid it, and where
 1t was found ten days afterwards.
 dopt was arrested in Chyenne, 800
 miles from where the murder was
 committed. He resisted arrest,
 while Emerson sent for the officers
 to come and get him at Carbon,
 Wyoming. Emerson was tried
 first and sentenced to the peniten-
 tlary for life. Hopt asked for a
 continuance of his case, but this
 was denied. He was tried and sentenced to be shot, but secured a new trial through an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, on the ground of error in not being granted a continuance when entitled to 1t. This appeal took one year to reach decision, after which he was tried, con- demned to be hanged, and again secured a new trial on technical grounds. The third trial resulted in a conviction and sentence to be shot. His attorneys asked for new trial. In June, 1884, within half an hour of the time limited for his execution, the acting Gov ernor came to his rescue, amidst an excited populace, and granted a stay of execution pending an ap- peal. It took one year to reach a decision by the Supreme Court, which granted new trial. This | transpired two weeks ago, ard last | week he was sentenced to death | the fourth time, the prisoner choosing to be shot as the prefer able mode of execution. Again have his attorneys applied for new trial. Their appeal goes first % the Supreme Court of the Ter 'itory, which meets in January, md then 1t can be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States, as has thrice been done llready. A remarkable feature in
 hIs case is the fret that the man las no money or friends who have honey to spend in his behalf. He las had attorneys assiqned to his .efense by the Court who have had 10 pay for their services, and who ave been compelled to advance { ees out of their own pockets; and ct, through technicalities, and aklng advantage of the laws of ( ppeal applicable to Utah, they ( ave already kept their client from l xecution for five years, and it will I robably take another year to end z ,e case, unless the populace ex- c 'ute vengeance, as they have at d 'mpted to do several times during S 1e trials. a

Yankee accent and infection have come into fashion among the London aristocrats. It is a freak that may and may not last. An acquaintance of Lord Dunraven attributes to him the Americanized talk of his particular set; and the Marquis of Lorne and Earl Duffe- rin, aided by their wives, are sup posed to have taken back from Canada an American manner of utterance. These examples could not fail to be patent in London, and the novelty seems to have proved captivating.

The schooner Manuokawai brings
news of exceedingly rough weather
all the week and Monday night the
wind blew fearfully, and rough and
high seas have been raging for the
last five days. Seven or eight acres
were blown down at Punaluu during
the week. The seed was ripe at the
time and the loss will be trivial. A
rough log about 40 feet long and five
feet in diameter at the large end
drifted ashore at Punaluu on Friday
of last week. 1t was covered with
branches and is thought to be from
the coast Of California.

Submarine Cables.

The aggregate length of submarine cables
in existence, says the Lronmonger, is no
less than $4,000 geographical miles, or
about Ill 900 KIM, or nearly three times
as much as the circumference of the earth
Each of these cables consists, on an aver
age, of 40 wires, core and jacket together !;
therefore it may be said that the length of
iron and copper wire by which telegraphic
communications are carried on at the bot
tom of the sea is no less than 25,000,000
miles, or 10 times the distance of the earth
from the moon. At the present day there
are IL submarine telegraph companies !;
and there are also four Governments work
ing cables of their own, viz, the British,
the French, the Russian aud italian Gov
ernments. England has laid down in the
Indian Ocean 12,01S miles of cable for the
protection of her possessions in Asia
France owns about 1908 miles of cable
in the Mediterranean, Russia has some
cables in the Black Sea, while those be.
longing to the italian Government are few
and far between. OF the IL submarine
telegraph companies there are eight estab-
lished in London, four in New York and
one in Copenhagen. The following are the
most important Of them: The Submarine
Telegraph Company own nine cables that
connect England with the Continent );
among these, those of Dover and Calais,
Folkestone and Boulogne, Beachy Head
and Dieppe and Hayre. The Eastern Tel
egraph Company have great many cables
in the Mediterranean they have also es-
tablished direct communication between
England and Bombay via Lisbon, Malta,
Alexandria and Alden. The aggregate
length of this company's lines is 9941 miles.
The Eastern Extension Company carry
their lines from Madras to Batavia, via
Singapore, Saigon and Hong Kong, and
connect Japan with Australia and New
Zealand over length of 6491 miles, The
Anglo-American Telegraph Company own
the original Transatlantic cables, viz;
four between Valencia, in Ireland. and
Cape Hearts Content, in Newfoundland
Their lengths are as follows: l, The cable
laid in 1859, 1896 miles; 2, the cable laid
in 1866, 1852 miles {; 3, the cable laid
in 1873, 1900 miles; 4, the one laid in
1874, 1900 miles. They also own the
the line from Brest to San Pierre, 1884
miles; aggregate length 1882 miles,
The Direct United States Cable Company
have transatlantic cable which goes from
Ireland to Nova Scotia and Rye Beach,
United States, over alength of 3,05O miles.
The Great Northern Telegraph Company
connect Denmark with Great Britain,
France, Russia, Sweden and Norway, and
they are, morever, in possession of cable
proceeding from Vladivortoch, in Siberia,
to Annoy and Hong Kong, via Nangasaki
and Shanghai. Lastly, the Brazilian Sub
marine Telegraph Company have laid a
cable from Lisbon to Brazil, via Madeira
and the Cape Verd Islands.
