Hanging Men and Women.

This day man and woman hang on
the gallows aud both are by their own
confession guilty of the most cold blooded
murder The man was one of band of
three who murdered two men for money
they carried the woman poisoned her
husband and children for the sake of the
small insurance on their lives. The
horror excited by the unnatural charae-
ter Of the woman's crime at once sug-
gested the insanity Of the niurderess, but
her counsel were quite unable to prove
her insane. Both of these crimes were
deliberate, cowardly, horrible, but that
OF the woman is by far the most repul-
sive, and yet the woman alone receives
sympathy and pity. Good women have
declined to believe that she can he sane
and have tried hard to save her life,
and ~tfest.> is a very decided senti-
nlent against taking the life of
woman under any circumstances I;
but justice il stern occasionally
and the woman dies. A revolving pen
atty follows revolving crime. The ter
ror intended to be inspired by her fate is
modified by the prominence given to the
fact that II is very rare indeed for women
TO suffer death for murder. And yet we
d. not know that this practical abandon
ment of the death penalty has been
signalized by murders by women. De-
tenders Of the death penalty say that it's
abandonment would be followed by a
carnival of blood; that desperadoes are
cOnstantlydeterred from doing murder by
the fear that they may be hung and yet
the almost absolute removal of this fear
from class of the murderously disposed
does not seem TO have encouraged them
10 more murders. 1t may be said that
murders by women have always been
very rare, but that does not alter the
force Of the fact that the abandonment
OF the extreme penalty has had no per-
ceptible effect on this class of crime.
The murderer or murderess will have a
wholesome terror OF being found out Toe
the penalty what it may, and they al
ways act on the belief that they can con-
ceal the crime.

A group Of naval officers were indulg-
ing the other day I'm "reminiscences of the
war, when one Of them told tho following
yarn:
Early on the morning of December -,
1861" he said, "Admiral Porter signaIed
To the fleet before Fort Fisher Get under
way and follow me- The ship to which I
belong was assigned, in the programme, To
q position between two monclads close
under the fort. We anticipated hot aud
terrible work. The flagship led the way,
and was approaching within range, when
Lieutenant Commander B B-, of my ship,
ordered all hands called to muster. The
brawny tars gathered an on the quarter
deck, with the officers in their usual places,
and our commander began to read from
the prayer book the Prayer Before Bat
tle." IL was a solemn moment; none
knew who or how many among us might
suddenly be ushored into the presence Of
the God of Battles. Our commander read
as though he felt il the whole ships COM
pany were awcd and hushed, and the
throbbing of the engines and wash of water
along the side seemed prcternaturally v
loud. When about half through signal
was reported from the flagship:
"'Coine To anchor In your position

Scicaee asserts that pulmonary con-
sumption is moro to be feared in every
community than any other disease that
affects mankind. Cholera, yellow fever
aud SUI m,llpox-dseases that paraiyze with
fright entire countries-are exceedingly
limited IN their results, in comparison with
the slaughter of consumption. Last yea
Florida was panic-stricken from the havoc
OF yellow fever; but during the same year
consumption destroyed more than twice as
many lives in the little state of New
Hampshire. and not tremor ran through
the body corporate. Tho average annual
death rate in this country, from cholera,
yellow fever, smallpox, typhoid fever,
diphthoria and scarlet fever, all combined
does not reach the enormous total of deaths
from consumption" The writer calls for a
determined effort tn lessen this disease by
preventing the sale OF tuberculous food
products. All right, but let people pay
closer attention 10 simple laws of health
bathing, exercise and eating, and there
will he smaller chance for the disease 10 get
dangerous grip.

AN eminent Now York clergyman, DIR.
Il. +. De Costa, refers 10 the Johnstown
disaster as follows: at is time people
stopped fooling with nature and build
cities where they will not he drowned out
and mcnaced by dangerous dams. People
who live in the track of the Hood ought 10
be required 10 make up for losses II they
are going to have losses and not resort TO
the old trick of tclegraphing TO the mayor
of New York for funds 10 relieve their dis
tress."
The caution is quite useless, and the
complaint that the sufferers should make
up their losses Is stupeDdous absurdity.
Nearly every community is foolipg with
nature i'm some way, and we believe that
New York has been declared dangerous by
experts in earthquakes. The people of the
Conemaugh valley were little careless
about that dam, but such carelessness IL
part of human nature. IL led to the build
ing of Hurculanaeum and Pompeii at the
base Of "a volcano that had been quiet for
centuries, and no doubt tho builders of
those days trusted to their wise men, as
the Johnstowners trusted the engineers
When the chances of - calamity seem very
remote. people are usually quite careless
about them.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Remarkable Pack of Cards.

Fifty-seyen guineas is not bad price for
pack of cards, and 1t was given day or
two since by dealer at sale held in Bir-
mingham, The pack is stated to be the
only one of its kind in the world Every
card is especially engraved, and the pack
comprises an exhaustive pictorial history
of the principal events in the reign of
Queen Anne down to 1706. They include
the victories of Marlborough, the sea fights
of Admiral Benbow, all the various
changes connected with the Parliamentary
proceedings Of the day, and the conclusion
of the treaties between England and
France and Spain. The queen of hearts is
a very well-drawn picture of Queen Anne
herself, and the king of hearts represents
Prince George of Denmark, her husband.
The queen of diamonds is Anne Sophia,
Queen of Denmark; the queen of clubs is
the Princess Royal of Prussia, and the
queen of spades is the Princess Anne of
Russia. The knaves were represented by
leading politicians of the day This curl
Gus pack was the occasion of much spirited
bidding between the gentlemen who held
commissions for the purchase. Had they
gone to one of these the local art gallery
would have eventually received them. As
it is, their destination is Shropshire

Destruction of Forests

}. B. Harrison of the Forestry Congress
reports in Garden and Forest that of the
100000 acres which may be roughly in
cluded in the Adirondacks only 600 600
remain in virgin forest. Most of this is
in Hamilton county, with a good deal in
Herkimer and some in Franklin. There
has been great deal of very indefinite
writing and talk about the Adirondack
forests, some of it misleading, because not
based on any considerable knowledge of
the facts ofthe actual condition and course
Of things in the woods From three
fourths to four-ffths of the original forest
has already been cut off, and hundreds of
square miles, hundreds and thousands of
acres, have been utterly denuded and
ruined by the burning and washing away
of the soil, so that centuries must pass be-
fore these vast tracts Of bare and sun
scorched rocks can again produce valuable
trees"
a resolution has been introduced into the
Legislature Of New Hampshire setting
forth that ''the preservation Of the forests
of New Hampshire Is essentially neces-
sary not only for the prosperity of our
vast manufacturing interests, but also to
preserve and increase that natural beauty
OF scenery which is SO attractive to visit
orr" and explaining that "the hills and
mountains IN the State are being rapidly
denuded of timber and rendered unsightly
by the acts Of private parties owning the
same At the same time a resolution was
passed to appoint a commission to examine
the question Of a State public park to be

Judge BuIIock,s Courage.

Speaking of the courage of the late
Judge William F. Bullock, who died in
Louisville, KY, recently, the Courier Jour
nal relates two stories about him. cat
time of great excitement upon the temper
ance question" it says, "when the Com
mon Council Of the city of Louisville re-
fused to grant license to sell liquor to
reputable hotel, he committed the entire
recalcitrant body to the County Jail for
refusing to obey the mandamus of his
Court, where they remained some of them
for days, though his own personal friends,
until the last one of them properly purged
himself of his ill-considered contempt.
During the tumult raised by his conduct
he was warned by his friends of the fierce
nature Of public sentiment, and implored
by them not to imperil himself by holding
Court until these angry feelings had sub
sided. He replied to these remonstrances
that it i'll became a Judge to stay the
course of justice through fear of bodily
harm; and be walked through frowning
mob unarmed, and dispensed as usual his
even-handed justice. Once, when called
upon to address a great mass-meeting in
New York city, in the campaign between
Clay and Jackson, Just as he had been in
troduced to the audience as the gentle
man from Kentucky sudden rush was
made for the platform by an organized
body ofJacksonian roughs, with the inten-
tion of breaking up the meeting. Every
one but Judge Bullock incontinently fed
from the platform; and when finally the
police rallied and expelled the disorderly
element, he was unable to proceed for sew
eral minutes, owing to the enthusiasm of
his auditors, who were prompt to appreci-
ate this specimen of Kentuckian'S cour-
