The Lesson OF the MaybriCk Trial.

There is after all very important
lesson to our judges and lawyers in the
celebrated trial of Mrs. Maybrick for
poisoning her husband. From Our
accustomed delay in the trial and con
viction of criminals her swift execution
might look like indecent haste. She was
arrested in May, tried and convicted last
week and her execution has been fixed
for August 18th. IL the crime had been
committed in this country she could
have counted on two or three years Of
the laws delay at least and when she
would be executed the moral effect Of
her punishment would not be per-
ceptible.
One Of the main principles involved in
the punishment of crime is the moral
effect on others. This, together with
the vindication of the right and the
reformation of the criminal, compose the
whole purpose Of punishment. The exc
Cution Of u convicted murderer of course
carries with II no idea Of reforming the
criminal. In such ease the moral in
fluence Oh others who are tempted to
commit crime is the principal purpose
in view, outside of the general vindica-
tion of the law. If then the just punish
ment he delayed until the crime be
almost forgotten there is no felt moral
effect on the community. On the other
hand it only tends to arouse sentiment
of pity and sympathy which makes the
law seem harsh aud cruel thing.
There has been entirely too much
| gratuitous sentiment wasted on Mrs.
| Maybrick. The London mob must be
cra1ed by excitement and sympathy for
her, and on this side of the water the
news and editorial columns of hig dailies
are batbed in abundant tears. Mrs
Maybrick in addition to being guilty OF
numbering her husband In cold blood i.
coniessedly guilty of the almost werst
crime of adultery. She deserves II,
sympathy, and honest and pure tears
ought not 20 he shed for her. She ough,
be hanged, and the swiitness of hel
execution is the lesson our courts and
lawyers ought TO take home to them
selves. What would he thought of tn,
parent who would delay the punishment,
of the child weeks after the commission
of the evil deed? The law Is a parent
and swift punishment for the trausgres
sion of her precepts il mandatory for tn,
good of society,

Religions Insanity,

The astonishing and almost incredible
tale from Alabama of the three negroes
who walked into an iron furnace, in
obedience to the commands of fourth
who claimed To I've Daniel the Prophet,
reads like n wild burlesquc of fanati-
cisn, Civilized Christian nations are
quite unfamiliar with that form of
fanatical faith which leads to an insane
defiance of the laws of nature. Asiatics
and Mohammcdans are well accustomed
10 displays of so-Callcd religious in
sanity, and hardly II year passes with
out the record of some fearful sacrifice of
human life under the orders of some man
who s firmly believed 10 he strong in
the support of supernatural powers,
the iuyinCihle messenger of God
whose influence beyond this life assures
reward for those slain in his services.
The rise and fall OF Nas-el-Deen in
Egypt, has just illustrated this, aud
travellers tell of scenes in the daily life
of MOhammcdan countries that cmpha-
size this strong characteristic of semi
civilized people. In this courtyard other
Christian and carbohydrates ,suchvioleut
religious insanity is almost unknown,
though occasionally examples of il shock
the public as though in reminder of AN
cient barharism. 1t Is natural that th.
Africans should display IL, and only re-
narkablc that the tendency il 50 well
checked by the example of the dominant
white civilization. 4 Nas-cl-Deen may
some day arise IN this country, if the
of OH
does not speedily make these outbursts
appear as hopelcssly insane to all as
they do tn the vast majority of citizens.
The three negroes who walked into
the birmingham furnace may he univer-
sally pitied rs miserable mnatiCs, but
'hat there are many people vorging on
that sort of lunaCy no visitor 10 a South
cru colored revival eau doubt. White
| people may AT times 20 10 parallel eX-
/ tremcs, aud We have not yet forgotten
| the slaughtering ot child 10y a father
| who Imagined himself IA second Abra-
| ham, doomed To complete the awful sac
! rlhce. All these things impress with
terrible emphasis the warning that the
| religious feeling in human nature is a
| most powerful force, and one that can
not be safely neglected. 1t will either
help men to higher intelligence or drive
them in despair TO insanity.
Our fathers the pioneers, the founders
aud preserNers of the republic through
| the revolution, the formation of nation.
ality and the civil war, were a God fear,
ing race. The young and sclf-satisfied
men OF to-day may smile at the narrow.
ness and bigotry of their fathers. but
they coupled with it the essential ele.
menls oi true religious feeling that we
are missing more and more.
When men cease 10 he devout they
may fall again beneath the iutln.
ences banished by the triumph of true
religion, and be in danger of hat strauu,
form of insanity which seems to com,
| from the stress and storm of long smoth,
| cred religious instincts.
