What Are Cruel Punishmentsp

When men, under the impetus of tho
indignation and horror that are occa-
stoned by the commission of crimes
that bear the stamp of deliberate cruel
ty or atrocity, undertake to apply what
are popularity deemed adequately sewers
remedies, their action generally embod-
les results that, to the mind of those
versed in matters of social or govern
mental science, are as mischievous in
their tendency as the evils sought to be-
remedied. 1t not infrequently happens,
in cases of crimes of deep atrocity, that
citizens resolve to GUenge the wrong inns
mediately, by lynching the offender
The folly and wrong of this method Of
netting out punishment in a civilized
community are now universally conceded
by calm-thinking and intelligent men,
Again, it will happen that this sama
spirit of impatience at the slow pro-
cesses of law and of distrust in the Or
dinary legal methods of punishment for
crime win find its expression in an
equally wrong and illogical method, to-
wit, the adoption of legislation provid-
ing cruel methods of punishment for
certain crimes, in the belief that the
evil of their frequent preparation may
be remedied in that way. Upon rehec-
ton, it will be found that both methods
have their origin in the same erroneous
conception of the scope and object Of
punishment for crime.
Under the designation ''cruel punish-
ments," include all such penalties for
crimes as are designed to infiict direct
physical suffering, accompanied by cir
cumstances of ignominy. the whip
ping-post is an example. The infliction
OF such penalties proceeds upon the
theory of retaliation, and, for this rea-
son, is improper and vicious. The legit-
innate province of all laws relating to
penalties for crime is punishment sins
ply. Anything that is inflicted beyond
this. whether against law, as by mob
violence, or by legislation. as in the
case of retaliatory punishments, exceeds
the legitimate scope of penalties for
crime. There may be scripturdL prece-
dent to the contrary, but we must not
adopt as divine precedent, applicable
to all nations, those rules which were
laid down for particular people, in q
remote and barbarous age. Many
things that are faithless, treacherous,
unnatural and cruel. find a seeming
sanction and precedent in the Mosaic
law. Punishment. in its proper accept
alton, means the protection of society,
as represented by the State, against the
inroads of the individual upon its well
fare, or. as it is called in criminal-law
phrase, 1.-THE peace of the State It
is only when the enroachments of the
individual upon the rights of others
amount to public acrong that they are
punishable criminally, and then it is
only the wrong to society, and not the
sin, that is cognizable by the tribunals.

De Profundis.

To wake at midnight when the world Is still
And moonleSs darkness broOdS on all around,
When the loud ticking clock and cricket shrtll
Makes the weird silence only more profound.
To wake and hear the lonesome autumn rain
Beat f1tfully against the window-pane,
While in his kennel whines the restless hound
And lonesome, ghostly winds go wailing round
To lie with aching eyes that cannot sleep
Because of visions that do not all them
quite,
Wraiths of the past in panoramic sweep
OF wan-eyed phantoms trailing through the
night
To hear the death-watch sound its measured
beat
And count the. graves we've passed with
To search abysses for one guiding ray
And wander up and down and search in vain
alway-
This is to drink of grief's ecstatic wine
In melancholy's cypress-Shaded vale,
Where autumn leaves are always drifting
down,
And autumn winds eternally bewaiI.
This is to pass the threshold of that door
Above which one hath writ hope never
more"
To walk demon round in ceaseless pain,
And cry to senseess walls, and beat on bars
in vain.
Poor captive, in thine own inferno lost
Think st thou thy prison hinges ne'er will
Think'st thou, the circling mountain submits
crossed,
No happy suns on happier lands will burn1
Hush, hush thou, heart. Know, for thine egress
Hope builds through sleep wide, enchanted
stair.
Then close sad eyes, fold tired hands so wan,
And wake atop in flush and glow of rose-red
dawn.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES
Death and Destruct ON.

The towns of 81. Cloud, Sank Rapids and
Rye's Station. Minnesota, we're laid waste BY q
terrible cyclone on Tie 14th inst In e. Cloud
between 40 and 80 6ead bodies were recovered
from the ruins, and many persons were serious,
~ Injured. Scores OF houses have been laid
In ruins. Sank Rapids has been entirely wiped
out, and number of persons are reported kill.
ed and wounded. The little place called Rye's
Station is completely demolished, and nearly
the entire population killed or wounded The
Governor has issued an appeal TO oil the large
towns an cites in the state, asking that steps
be taken Immediately TO secure money and
things Necessary for the destitute and suffering
OF these places.
The first reports of the terrible cyclone
which passed over Minnesota, Iowa, Dakota.
and Missouri on the 18th inst, were not ex.
aggerated. The towns Of st. Cloud, Sank
Rapids and Kyes Station in Minnesota suffere
most. Between 20 and 100 persons we're killed,
and hundreds OF others were injured.
In sauk Rapids there is not business house
left standing on the Main street, and the
homes OF hundreds of laboring men are scat
tered over a radius of several miles.
Although not much damage was wrought In
Iowa and Missouri, yet the reports from these
states show that great damage has been done
to property, and thousands OF dollars worth Of
stock was killed. In Iowa several lives were
lost The property losses In Minnesota Is be-
tween 81 100000 and S2,000,000. Appeals for
ald have been made and are meeting with
prompt and generous responses.
