A CURIOUS EPISODE.
Questions Which Courts as Well as Re.

Questions Which Courts as Well as Re'
formers Ought to Study.
A few days ago young lady OF good
social position, and the daughter OF
most respectable parents, was arrested
in a jewelers. store in Brooklyn for the
larceny of some diamond rings. She
was examining q tray Of the costly
Jewels when, as she describes it, an un-
controllable impulse urged her to take
a handful and conceal them about her
person. The grief and CONSERVATION OF
her parents, when the fact was made
known to them, is readily conceived.
They procured her release on bonds,
but she will have to stand her trial for
the crime.
In the same police court where this
fashionable girl was arraigned, another
young woman was present to answer to
a similar charge. She watched intently
the proceedings which had to do with
the novice in crime. And just as they
were concluded, she rose and facing
the Judge. said in a voice which cut the
air like knife:
"You are going to make thief out
of that girlt'
The words thrilled through the court
room like IN electric shock. Officers
and spectators were alike amazed. 81
was once like her." continued the young
woman, 'and my first crime was like
hers. l could have been saved then.
If they had let me go, / should never
have offended again. But they sent me
to prison, locked me up with thieves
and abandoned wretches, and am now
what am
The sensation which this announce
ment created was reported to
be intense. The episode, how
ever, quickly passed, and the
ordinary routine of the court went
on as usual. The circumstance, how
ever, is fruitful OF thought to those who
are devoting their lives to the reforma-
ton of criminals. Perhaps this young
woman spoke the truth. In her case
the punishment was the confirmation OF
criminal career. No one will argue
that the perpetrator of first crime
should invariably be let off without pun
ishment. But should the machinery of
justice be always inexorable and impla-
cable? Should it never be relaxed? Are
there no circumstances when the veil of
silence should be drawn over crime?
Is there such a thing as uncomfortable
impulse? These are questions which
courts and reformers ought to study

The african Elephant.

In Peternaanaa's Mitteilungen Herr J.
Menges raises once more the, question
of the possibility of utilizing the Afri-
can elephant. Herr Menges points out
that there is strong evidence that the
elephant was used in ancient times in
Africa, and asserts that no serious at
tempt has been made in modern times
to subdue it to the uses of humanity. He
maintains that it is quite as docile a.
the Indian elephant, and much strong
er; and that, if it could be really tanned
and trained to work, it would be of inn
mense utility in the opening of Africa.
But, unless some protection is accorded
to the African elephant, Herr Menges
believes that by the end of next century
it will DO quite extinct,

The Expedition Reported Struggling
Through Terrible Difficulties.
ZANZIBAR, Nov. 3.-Couriers from Ta-
bora bring direct news from the Stanley
expedition, d portloh of which was met at
the end of November, 1887, BY Arabs trad
ing between Lakes Victoria, Nyanza and
Nzige and Tabora. These Arabs met
stanley's rear guard at point west Of
Albert NyanZa, southwest of Sanga, just
as the expedition was preparing to cross
swamps caused by the radiation of the
streams that abound in that country. The
Ara IS did not see Stanley. Tho detaeh.
me1H seen consisted of thirty men. They
staWd that Stanley was two days
aheNd. The expedition had suffered
greSly on the march through thick for
est, where it was impossible to advance
more than mile and quarter daily:
They had also suffered in the marshes,
where many had disappeared or died:
Forty were drowned in crossing great
river flowing from east to west. One white
man had died. Stanley was obliged to
fight some tribes that refused to supply
him with provisions. The expedition had
often halted in the expectation of receiv-
ing reinforcements from the Congo. The
rear guard, at the time met, had only been
on the march five days after halt of three
weeks, due to the illness of Stanley and a
great part of the escort, who had been at
tackled with fever
The Arabs estimate the total strength of
the expedition, after all losses, at $50 men.
The health of Stanley was then good.

toward the north, hoping to avoid the
swamps. After getting certain distance
north he intended to take an oblique line
to the eastward and go straight to Wa
delai, where it was thought he would ar
rive fifty days later-about the middle of
January, 1888. The Arabs were of the
opinion that the expedition was strong
enough to reach Wadela.
1t will be remembered that August in
formation was received that two mes
sengcrs had arrived there who had left the
interior about the beginning of April and
who reported that Stanley had not arrived
at Wadelai up to that time. The messen-
ger stated that in the month of March
Emin Pasha did receive some vague and
indecisive news of the explorer which
had filtered through from tribe to tribe,
but that the reports were conflicting.
Some declared that Stanley, after losing
a number of men and large portion of his
supplies, was hemmed in by hostile tribes
between the Maboda country and the
Albert Nyanza, while other rumors
