Judge Diyity, of the Camden Courts,
made point IDLY brief charge at the trial
of an assault and bsttery case in his Court
a few days ago. "Gentlemen of the jury"
be said. tone of the parties TO this contro-
versy is fool, and the other is liar. 1t
is for you to say which is which," That
charge would cover multitude of the
cases that make the courts on the Hill
dreary loafng places. Que who has not
habitually attended them would bs sur
priscd at the triaing nature of the COM
plants that the j ldges there are forced to
dispose Of, and more surprised at the guar :
tity Of lying that is done on one side or the
other. Scarcely a case is heard in which
oae party or the other to the controversy
does not commit the rankest kind of per
jury. If the Court would make an ex I'M
pie OF few of them by holding them for
violating the sanctity of their oaths, there
would probably be fewer of this class Of
cases brought to it's notice, and would
have a great deal less trouble in finding
out the facts.

The trial Of Disque, the Hoboken wife
murderer, resulted IN the only verdict that
was possible. The slaughter of Mrs. Disque
was one of the bloodiest crimes that ever
stained the fair honor of this community,
and her slayer richly deserves the moose
that is being made for his neck. There
seems to be little room for doubt that ne
went home with the design of c-rrying out
his oft-repeated threat to cut her throat ;
and stealthiIy crawled up behind her with
his shoeless feet, seized her by the hair,
when she was off her guard, and held her
head back while he plunged the knife into
her throat. It is known that he had no
shoes on when he committed the awful
deed and the fact that no one heard the
sound of their voices before Disque fed
from the house, disposes of his story that
that his passion was infamed by a-quarrel
just before he did his awful work. Mrs.
Desmond, with presentiment probably
that some thing of the kind would eventu-
ally happen, thoughtfully cautioned Mrs.
Disque to rap on the floor if she needed
assistance. Disque and his wife lived right
over the Desmond's apartments, and Mrs.
Desmond was at home all day. But she
heard no rap. The woman hadn't time to
sound the alarm. She evidently hadn't
time even to shrek before her windpipe
had been suddenly severed by a dastardly
blow from behind. The murder seems 20
have been as cold-blooded as it was
bloody. and the sooner the miserable fell
low who committed it is out of the world
the better.

Keeper Laverty, Of the State Prison.
thinks that the Piece Price system ia the
solution Of the Prison Labor problem.
The Keeper is a competent judge. He
has had the opportunity to observe, by
the establishment OF the system under his
supervision At Trenton, aud he has the
brain to observe intelligently. When he
says, therefore, that the new scheme is
working. in every point of view, satisfac-
torily, his judgment should, and doubtless
will, carry unusual weight. Among other
advantages, 1t has enlarged the number Of
industries for convicts-which is desirable
for the double reason that it gives oppor-
tunitY for the employment of larger
number of men at employments for which
they are fitted, aud that 1t reduces to q
minimum the competition in the prison
with free labor in any particular trade
outside. The Keeper thinks, too, that the
system helps to preserve the discipline Of
the institution. This would seem to be a
very natural sequence of the fact that the
convicts are, now more than ever. under
the direct control OF the officers Of the
institution, and responsible for their work
as well as their conduct to them. Nor is
the new system less satisfactory in its
economic results The financial statement
from the State Prison will show large

Mysterious disappeaEances, unless
accompanied by absolute indications of
foul play or suicide, are rarely worth
noticing in the newspapers. People go
from home and do not happen to return
when they should, and straightway the
police are requested to send out an alarm"
which alarms no one, and therefore
might more properly be called 9 false
alarm" The next day perhaps sooner
the missing man returns, but his
friends do not report that circumstance.
and his name passes into police history as
a man who g mysteriously disappeared. :"
But once in awhile there happens a case
worth noting. The disappearance of young
McCambridge, clerk in New York
clothing store, who resided with his par
ents in Hoboken, left the store at his usual
hour one evening about three weeks ago.
He did not reach home, and has not been
seen since at all events not by any one
who knows him. Several persons saw him
on the day of his disappearance near the
Hoboken ferry on the New York side.
This is an indication that he intended to go
home. No one seems to have seen him at
the ferry or on the boat, however, SO that
he may have changed his mind. But few
days ago rather curious circumstance
occurred. A detective who had read OF
the case determined to investigate the ease
on his own account. He went to
the Hoboken ferry, and on one of
the boats found boot-black, who was
wearing the hat young McCambridge wore
the day he left home. The boy said he
found the hat on the end of the boat, and,
inquiry elected the fact that with iha hat
had been found plate containing four
false teeth. They were in the possession
of deckhand. Strange to say the deck
hand had not reported this peculiar find,
a fact which might possibly throw doubt
on his statement, since both articles were
subsequently, identified as having belonged
to McCambridge. They were found the
evening he disappeared. Why the deck
hand should want to confscate four false
teeth is one of the strangest incidents of
the strange affair. The finding of the teeth
on the beat shows that McCambridge was
a passenger on her. but their presence is
no indication that he Jumped overboord
and an almost positive proof that he did
not fall into the river. If he committed
suicide he would hardly have stopped to
take his teeth out. and if he fell he would
not have had time. Bat the managers of
the ferry should compel the deck hand
and bootblack to explain why they did not
report the finding Of the articles for
certainly the discovery of hat and four
false teeth might have been regarded as an
indication that their wearer was missing.
