Driving Away a pickpocket

Here comes that blackguard, English"

dressed maa approached. When the per-
son thus harshly characterized caught
sight of the detective the latter signaled
him and said, with great show of anger,
English. if you don't get away from here
I'll kick you from one end of the block to
the other" 'tAn right, captain; all right"
said English, meek1y. IN co. and go ne
did. English is a notorious pickpocket,
who sights his victims in Park row, fol-
lows them up and robs them at leisure.
he and his fellows do nothing in Park
row for which they can be arrested, and
the only resource of the detective is to
drive them from the street with threats
The other day the crowd in Ann street
just off Park row was astonished to see a
little man approach a big man, and with
a single blow knock him into the gutter.
The big man rose, caught sight of his as
sailant, threw up his hands in q depreca-
tory fashion and took to his heels. The
little man was q detective and the big one
was a piclzpocaet who had not left Park
row with sufficient haste.-New York

Washington May 9--The chief signal
service officer he's decided to substitute
t~elsgrsphio observations at 8 q. m. and
s p. m. standard eastern time, for the
three observations now telegrsphed.
Gen. Greedy says:
The third telegraphic observations
will be replaced by special observations
sent to this office which will keep the
indication officer fully advised as to the
edge OF advancing cold wayea, local
storms or other marked atmospheric
phenomena. There will be issued to all
points which oan be promptly reached
by mail from the great commercials cen-
ters, two daily charts OF the complete
observations of the county, which,
being posted side by side, will enable
those interested, as we'll as the general
public, to note for themselves the adj
vance OF storms. By this means the local
meteorologists will frequently be able TO
decide for themselves more satisfactorily
than can be done by the present general
predictions from the main Office ns to
the character OF the weather which may
be expected in their own locality.

BurIesgh County Diyisionists,

0 ASsE1CA&A Soun13 GlFlSkOAlk6G5. ~
Bismarck Tribune: The aberdeen
Pioneer, whose zeal for division exceeds
its good Judgment, seems peculiarly
skeptical regarding the action OF the
recent republican convention in
Burleigh county on this ques-
ton. The Pioneer speaks of "hollow
professions OF an unreliable gang" The
recent convention of republicans in Bur-
leigh county was undoubtedly the
largest and most representative repub-
lican gathering ever had in the county.
1t was anything but o gang" The as
sembiage was made up largely of repre-.
sentative farmers and business men
whose minds have not been warped by
the whims of the wiley politicians.
Their action is worthy of gracious con-
sideration. The Bnrleigh county re-
publicans are in accord with the we'll
settled policy of the republican party
throughout the country On the division
question. No matter what their midi
vidual feelings on this question as a
local measure may have been in the past,
the attitude OF the administration end
Its supporters in congress- makes every
true republican ar earnest champion OF
division and the admission of two states
into the union, whether he be q resident
of Burleieh county, Of Oass county, or
of any other state or territory. The
question of division has never before
, t;en presented &c the republicans of
this county eithew at an election or in
convention. The unanimity OF the pas
sage OF the resolution favoring division
in the recent convention leaves no
reason for doubt as to Col. Little's plat
form. No candidate for delegate to
congress is pledged to stronger efforts
in behalf OF this measure than the candi-
date which the Missouri slope takes
pleasure in presenting.

Inherited
Diseases.

In the realm of disease the facts of in.
heritcnce are most numerous and are daily
accommodating. Here, alas, they become ter.
rible. fatefUl and overwhelming, No fact Of
nature is more pregnant with awful mean
ing than the fact of tho inheritance of
disease. 1t meets tho physician on his daily
rounds, paralyzing his art and nlling him
with dismay. The legend OF tho ancient
Greeks pictures the Furiea as pursuing
families from generation to generation,
rendering them desolate. The Furies still
ply their work OF terror and death, but they
arc not now clothed in tho garb Of supersti-
tion, but appear in the more Ineligible but
no less awful form of hereditary disease.
v Modern science, which has illuminated go
many dark corners OF nature, has shed q
new light on the ominous words of the
Scriptures. 1.-THE sins Of tho fathers shall Le
visited upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation" Instances Of hereditary
diseass abound. Fifty per cant. of csses OF

In . marked degree. but, fortunately, Ike
many other hereditary diseases, tends to
wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct.
A distinguished scientist truly says "Nc

the chance Of being the subject of hereditary
disease" Probably more chronic diseases.
which permanently modify the structure
and functions of the body, are more or less
liable to be inherited. The important and
far-reaching practical deductions from such
facts-affecting SO powerfully tho happiness
OF individuals and families and the collective
welfare OF the n~ation-are obvious to redec.
ting minds, and the best means for prevent
