ture in Delaware. Large robberies
must be carefully planned, and TO per-
feet the plans IL requires men oil brains,
the majority OF whom would about as
soon be hung, as to undergo the pill, ~
or whipping post. Therefore they let
Delaware alone, and DO not take the
chances, as there are other places
where the risk is not 30 great.
The petty thief does not have much
planning 10 do. and as general rule
acts on the impulse of the moment
and the opportunity. He is generally
ignorant and dissipated, consequently
the whipping post has no terrors for
him, and he would much rather un-
dergo the lash than to be imprisoned
and deprived Of his accustomed stimn-
lants. This Is why the post does not
decrease petty thieving and Is also the
reason that some men hug the post
more than once. We do not expect
that whipping will ever prevent crime
altogether. but we do believe that

IT IS fact not known to many,
that the last Legislature passed an act
making property holders solely respon.
sible for any damage that may result
TO persons or property by reason OF any
hole, excavation or obstruction in CT

fcctiye condition of such sidewalk.
Notwithstanding this law, there are
scores Of pavements in this city that
cndanger the limbs of every one who
has occasion TO pass over them. The
tame act gives the Street and Sewer

IF THE members Of the Irma Club
were guilty Of the charge preferred
against them, It Is q pity they escaped
through an error on the part OF the
City Solicitor. 1t 10, however, hoped
that before the case Is finally disposed
OF, strict Justice will be melted out TO
oil concerned. There are two very
important matters which have been
brousht out In this case that should
not escape'attention. One is that we
have property holders in this city who
do not hesitate to rent rooms 10 clubs
OF this kind, and also enter into con.
tracts with minors, who they must
know are irresponsible parties. The
second ID the TACT that In an important
case like this the City Solicitor, EN-
ployed by the city 10 transact its legal
business, should make such a grave
error in drawing up the information
against the accused that 1t resulted in
the case being dismissed. Judge Ball,
in commenting on the matter, said:
The case Is the worst disorder that It
has ever been my misfortune TO listen to
from that stand. II Is u case that should
ctiuE tho uiunu u thhuio W every uOustt
mans face to think that there sre such
young men growing up. That the place
is one of public entertainment Is proved
by tho TACT that members took their

think the information ia faulty in
charging the young men with being con-
cerned and Interested In keeping disor-
DERBY house | am yprv reluctantly cpu =
PEELED to dismiss the case. The young
Inen should be taught lesson"
The only good that has been accom-.
plished by the arrests is the fact that
the lrma Club has ceased 10 exist, and
the city has one less den of vice and
iniquity. 1t is, however, hoped that
these young men who have made such
a narrow escape, will profit by the ex-
perience, and employ their evenings In
a more profitable manner in the future.

Wanted: ANationaI Air.

America is as yet unprovided with a
national air possessing the breadth and
dignity worthy of a great country.
There are several tunes that by force of
association have been adopted in lieu
of melody worthy of the dignity.
Hail Columbia is a weak and color
less production. The Star Spangled
Banner is suggestive OF horse parade
IN circus. My Maryland Is an old
German air of no striking merit. NJ
Country IT'S of Thee Is adapted to the
English national air God Save the
Quten.' Then we have Dixie" an old
negro tune; John Brown an old camp
meeting effusion, and the inappropriate
Yankee Doodle
The time has now arrived for some
of our native musicians TO devote their
best energies to the production of an
air that shall be worthy of the Occa-
sion, and typical of this great nation.

HEALING BY MAGNETISM.
Eyyptian and Greek Forerunners OF
Leser and Mc~mer.

In these days, when so many people
Of Intelligenc are investigating physical
phenomena; when occultism, spiritual
ism. mind-readIng, faith-healing and
kindred subjects are attracting unusual
attention in the scientific world, IL may
not be amiss 10 review the past to
ascertain, IL possible, something OF the
history of these modern mysteries a
very little investigation will show that
the ancient philosophers were puzzled
by the same questions which the
thoughtful men OF to-day are asking,
and that they sought to explain the
mower OF mind over mind by various
theories. some of which are still widely
current. The study of the peculiari-
ties of mental action, says writer in
the Pittsburgh Dtspdtch, and the hidden
forces that ara the causes thereof,
probably agan with primitive man and
has remained ever since a theme OF
fruitful speculation.
The investigation of the phenomena
of me.merism perhaps received more
serious attention from learned men IN
the latter part OF the last century and
the early part of the present than at
any time IN the history OF mankind:
IL was undertaken by the Royal
Academy of Medicine at Paris, and by
a great many celebrated physicians In
other parts OF Europe. Mesmer's doc
trInes found many believers, and the
opiuion seems to have been extensively
entertained that In "animal magnet
ismu there had at least been discovered
