easiness on the part OF the hotel people,
who fear that something may have hap
pened TO him or that he may have been
fouly dealt with. He spoke OF going TO
Glasgow, but no intelligence has been re-
ceiyed on the subject. The matter has
been brought TO the attention of Major

Crime in Fiction.

II is asserted, and we taresay with some
truth. that novels like Ainsworth's Jack
Sheppard" and illustrated sheets like the
Police Noes have largely recruited the
ranks of the thieves and the burglars.
There the seed had fallen in kindly soil
prepared by circumstances and hereditary
depravity. The mass Of amateurs Of the
horrible IN the upper or middle classes are
more prosaically-minded or less romanti-
cally disposed.
At all events they seldom dream of trans
lating thought into action, and taking the
short but dangerous cuts to their crimes
which come so naturally 10 their favOrite
heroes and horolnes. They are content TO
admire. to cape, and 90 swallow; to shrink
delightfully."- at the rustic OF the stealthy
prisoners night-dress. and TO shudder at
the heavy thud of the hired ruiiian's blud-
geon as it lights upon some respectable
head.
Criminal fiction does little direct harm
in the sense Of shortening nconyenlent
lives or tampering with important deeds.
But it steadily iemoralizes the palate Tor
ANYTHING milder and more delicately fla
vored; the habitual dram-drinker Will
have his stimulants stronger and stronger,
and you cannot expect HIM TO turn with
satisfaction from spirits above proof, fresh
from the dIstillery, TO the choicest OF
Schloss Johannesburg or Chateau Aquem.

Edmund Ys,es's London Letter, y. Y. Tribune.l
The military authorities have been fairly
successful in withholding from the press
any account of the extraordinary meeting
which occurred IN July in the First West
India Regiment quartered at Jamaica.
The occurrence Is convincing evidence OF
the utter rottenness OF the West India
corps, a condition long known TO officers
who knew anything of these regiments. IL
is about time TO dispense with the dubious
and costly services of the lazy and ill-con-
ditioned negroes composing those west
India regiments. They are maintained
wholly for service on the unwhole-
some West-Coa-t Of Africa possessions. In
the West Indies white troops do better and
are more healthy than are the black troops
in the improved conditions in which the
former now live. So far as the African
service is concerned It would bee generally
more advantageous to increase the strength
Of the Houssas leyies on the coast, giving
them double complement OF officers, and
TO dlsband those West India regiments.
which are worthless as troops and afford TO
the officers posted TO them very bad pro-
fesslOnal education.

A SPLENDID REQUEST:
The Retreat for the Sick Gets $4,000
from a Northern Lady's Estate.

Several days ago Mr. II. W. Powers re-
tcived draft for $40 i95--the first install
ment of q munifcent bequest of $50, 900
recently made to the Retreat for the sick.
II comes out OF the estate Of Mrs. Ellen
HI. Clifford, New England lady.
1t was about two months ago that Mr..
Powers. president OF the Retreat, received
letter from Mr.. Simeon Il. Baldwin, of
New Haven. Conn. stating that be and
Rev. l.. T.. Beardsley were custodians OF a
fund left by Mrs. Clifford to be given to
charitable institutions.
MIR. Baldwin said no had heard of the
Retreat for the Sick. IN this city, and
asked Mr.. Powers several questions con-
corning its object and work.
Several letters passed between Mr.. Pow
ers and Mr.. Baldwin. aud the result is
that the executors Of Mrs. Giford's will
have made a donation Of $50, 900 to the
Retreat.
The principal is TO be invested in good
securities by the officers of the institution
and is 10 be known as the Ellen NJ. Clifford
fund. Only the interest can be used
Some unimportant changes bad TO be
made in the Retreats charter before the
git could be accepted.
