WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER Is, 1880
CHARLES DIcKENs' FAoIN has

CHARLES DICKENS FAaIN has
again been illustrated In real life,
and this time il is in Philadelphia.
IL seems that the Philadelphia scamp
induced two boys to become burglars
ard bring their i'll gotten gains TO him.
When the plumber was disposed of the
boys received one half of tho pro-
eeeds, and their trainer. who no doubt
did the planning, retained the other
hall. No punishment can be too &C.
we're for such man, and it would be
q blessing TO the community If he
could be consigned to the penitentiary
for the remainder of his natural lie.
The boys are old enough to know that
they were doing wrong, and conse-
quently should not BE- permitted to
escape punishment. We have had
something similar in this city, but
while II could not be shown that the
men implicated told the boys to steal,
II was clearly proved that they en-
couraged them by buying the stolen
goods. Yet by some means they man
aged TO escape punishment, and
although at least one or two of them
were held for Court, the cases were,
iorsome unaccountable reason, dropped.
