Crime In PsrIs-A Thiers Confession

What is to DO done with the ever-in
creasing army Of crime and vice which is
rendering security in Paris a myth In
the current number Of The Nouvelle
Revue, the Able Moreau, formerly
almoner at the prison of La Grande Ro-
quette, has begun to write his souvenirs
Of the world of prisons, and his conclu-
sions, good Christian as he is, are alto
gether sad. The abbe's long experience
has shown him that crime is rarely an
accident In mans life, but generally
trade or a passion, and that there thou
sands whose only means Of existence is
theft, and who consider this means as
legitim; te as labor.
The aObe quotes an experienced thief
who Is Of a philosophical turn, and who
writes: Il do not believe much in the con-
version Of professional thieves and GRIM
inals. A thief will always he thief and q
murderer "A murderer, just as drunkard
will always be drunkard. There are, of
course, few exceptional crimes due to

cannon ball tied to our feet, the whole
gang of us brothers in crime, who are
united by the bond Of blood. Repentance
or even change in the manner Of life is
very rare among u.s."
The whole of the Abbe's article is full of
a spirit of reaction against the modern sys-
tenn Of coddling criminals and keeping
them comfortably in cellular retreats
which are models of ventilation, cleanli-
ness, and hygienic disposition. What will
the humanitarians find TO say against this
profound return to the severity Of primi-
tive legislation A return to barbarism,
1t will be said. 1t is precisely this return
to barbarism, the outcome of modern
civilization, which has made a profound
impression on the contemporary French
mind, and led to all sorts of manifestations
of pessimism, which may he noticed i'm the
literature, the art, and the life of the day.
The tendency Of French, and one might
say of European civilization generally,
seems to be to break all the bonds that
formerly held human societies together.
The modern man need he neither husband
nor father, nor brother, nor friend, he need
contract none Of those bonds Of duty, with
out which il was impossible To live for
merly. We are gradually arriving at
state of individualism and ferocious ego
ism which allows us TO enjoy the advan
tage OF association-hot to say of society
without assuming any Of its burdens. The
bonds of family, of fatherland, Of friend
ship, having lost their strength, men grow
disguised and tired Of living in times and
In society where all that makes the
charm and interest Of life is daily disap-
pearing more and more.-Paris Cor. New

JUDGE WADE's decision in the
cause, City of Helena versus Hartford
Insurance Company, constitutes the
major premise of another argument in
support of establishing a corporate
government fer Miles City. This suit
was test case respecting the construc-
ton of the insurance law of 1888, and
involving the right of the city to col
lect taxes from the numerous insur-
ance companies doing business in
Helena. The chief justice, Judge
Wade, has decided, we learn, in favor
of the plaintiff. We take this occa-
sion to call attention to the inchoate
condition of our affairs. We not only
have no power to regulate and tax
persons and their business within the
precincts # the town, but there are
numerous other matters calling for
prompt regulation which are beyond
the Jurisdiction of our efficient county
commissioners. Our streets need
grading, sidewalks should be built,
police regulations are deficient, build
ing regulations should be made and
strictly enforced, etc., etc. We are
losing much and gaining nothing
in remaining simply village without
boundaries.

The surface of the Caspian Sea.

The results of the Russian level sur
veys between the Euxine and the Caspian
show a considerable modification of
former estimates, the difference being
reduced from 400 to So feet. The sur
face of the Caspian is certainly little
below the ocean level, but its subsistence
is subject to strange fluctuations. 1t
slowly rises and then slowly sinks each
alternate thirty years. The inhabitants
of the rocky south shore have a special
name for this phenomenon and explain
it by variety of the absurdest theories.
The Caspian is nearly as salt as the Med
iterranean, and its former connection
with the ocean seems probable from the
fact that it abounds not only with sea
fish but with seal, which the harpooners
OF the last hundred generations have
failed to exterminate.-Dr. Felix l.. o.

A Theory Concerning Fruit Bearing

If is contended by some orchardists
that tree bearing certain number of
bushels of small apples will not grow as
fast as one bearing the same kind and
same number of bushels of large apples.
The reason offered is that the seeds of
the apples take much Of the trees
strength, and that as the seeds of the
small apples are nearly as large as of the
large ones, the trees growth is thereby
more retarded. The weight of evidence
appears TO favor this conclusion.-Chi-
