Type Indeed
1t is curious that we are quite un-
able to realize the enormity OF some of
the commonest continental Oaths. We
can, OF course. to q certain extent. ap-
praise such terms as sacre. sapristi
and morbleu (euphemistic for mort
dieu), but on the other hand we wholly
fail to appreciate the swearing value
OF mile tonnerres and tausend dom
nerwctter. Even though these latter
be regarded as an invocation of Thor,
the god OF thunder and summer heat.
We can not see any thing very dreadful
or juratory in them. Anglicized they
become perfectly harmless. and indeed
would be welcomed in the room of
some of our own more opprObious
idioms. Thunder" or even '.Thun-

For Base InEratitude.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
NEW YORK, April 12.-Frank E. Pear
son, riding master of Wakefield, Mass,
eloped five years ago with Mrs. Annie B.
Wakefield, pupil in his riding school, wife
of the late Cyrus w. Wakefield, the million
aire founder of the town and manufacturer
of the Wakefield rattan furniture. Pearson
was arraigned to-day before Judge Glider
sleeve, in the General Sessions, to receive
sentence He was convicted recently of ap-
propriating $500 which Mrs. Wakefield gave
to him on September q, 1888, to pay the
half-yearly interest then due upon $40, 900
mortgage upon Mrs. Wakefeld's houses at
349 and 351 West One Hundred and Twen-
ty-third street. Pearson was heavy-eyed
and nervous He had sent to Judge Glider
sleeve from the tombs batch of Mrs. Wake
fields letters to him in the halycon days of
their love-making.
"The papers that you sent me, Pearson, I"
said Judge Gildersleeve, satisfy me that
the complainant, Mrs. Wakefield, didn't
keep strictly within the line of truth in re-
gard to some of her statements upon the wit
ness stand. She was, however, a very good
witness in the main, and told her story in an
impressive way. There is nothing in any of
these papers that would justify me in giving
YOU new trial. In view of your former re-
lations with the complainant, do not feel
called upon to be extremely severe. 1 SEN
tence you to State prison at hard labor for
two years and six months
Pearson thanked the Judge, and asked be-
fore he quilted the bar that Mrs. Wakefield s
letters be returned to him.
