An Eleven-Ysar-Old Boy Begins Business al
an Imitator OF sack the Ripper"
LONDON, Nov. pa boy named Husband
aged eleven, the first TO give notice of the dis
covery OF the body of the boy Searle, who wal
found dying in the streets of Havant, yesterday
morning, with his throat cut from ear to ear,
has been arrested for the murder. The CRIME
was undoubtedly committed in imitation Of
Jack the Ripper" the chronicles OF whose
butcheries have melted 6sprsved youth in many
parts OF the kingdom to emulation
of his deeds, and tho police throughout
the country are thus confronted with a new
problem. The Spitalfelds's vigilance committee,
organized to aid the coustabuIeryi 10 detecting
the Whitechapel murderer and preventing
further crimes, has secured the approval OF the
police to their appointment OF ten men each
night to watch the courts and alleys OF the East
End. and otherwise act conformity with the
metropolitan force. Each man will carry n dark
lantern. a whistle and a night stick, and be in
vested with all requisite authority.
williams Eccentricities Accounted For.
New YORK, Nov. PA London special to
the Times Gays there have been sundry reports
in court circles here of late that Emperor Will
ian is suffering. from an ncute attack of hif
chronic trouble, a swelling inside the ear. about
which the doctors are much alarmed. 1t keeps
him awake almost continually, aud drives him
to constant occupationi for relief. His odd way
of turning mp at sunrise drills, and bis
strange activity 10 rushing from one function
to another all day are thus accounted for. On
Sunday one of the people best informed in En-
gland on inner Berlin news told me he had be-
come worse during the last few days. and yes
terday it was announced that owing TO a cold he
will remain in doors during the rest Of the
week. If the ear malady should take a serious
turn there would DO immense excitement al

stable was one of the finest and best ap-
pointed in the CITY, and q great many

Cultivate the Intellect.

Thousands of farmers are mere ma
chimes, wearing away their strength
without knowing whether it is to any
purpose or not. They adhere to the
old accustomed routine of blowing.
narrowing, sowing, harvesting and
marketing, but not keeping account
of the expenses and receipts, cannot
tell for the life of them whether any
one of their crops pays the cost of
production or not. This style of
farming is worthy of the savage-not
of the most intelligent, most progress
i've nation on the globe. All who thus
ago it blind" have to serve a life SEN
tence of hard labor, unenlightened
and unrelieved by the pleasures of
mental occupation; and few of them
will be able to rise to comfortable
circumstances, unless they begin to
seek light by studying horticultural
papers, by keeping strict accounts,
and by investigating the true relation
between labor and its returns.
Preaching to these machines, who do
not merit the honorable title, "farm-
er," will do no good, and they have
their own punishment. We can only
hope to stimulate our readers, who,
by the very fact that they are read
ers, give conclusive evidence of their
progressiveness, to renewed efforts
in searching for light and truth.
