Cause of Crime,

Judge Samuel M. Green. of Michigan,
has written an interesting book on the
Mature, Cause and Treatment of Crime, +"
taking the ground that crime is disease. a
moral disease. Its cure should be to con-
fine the criminal as dangerous animal or
lunatic and then work for the awakening of
his moral consciousness, process very
slow, but the only sure one.
Among the causes Of crime Judge Green
puts heredity first. But that is only shov-
ing back the difficulty. There must have
been somebody who went wrong first. to
start the thing. What made him 20 wrong
that first man?
An enthusiastic believer in the theory of
evolution. on the other hand, says the
cause of crime is simply undevelOpment.
AS soon as mans intellectual, moral and
spiritual faculties are sufficiently developed
to realize that it is better for himself per-
SOnally to be honest, to do no murder, and
that the consequences are more agreeable
when he stays sober than when he gets
drunk. that he is happier and more pros
porous when he is at peace with his neigh
Dor than when he is quarreling, then and
not till then will he reform.
Moreover when the milliOnaires and the
well-to do classes set the example to the
mOneylesS wretches of being perfectly hon
est, perfectly noble. kindly. just and sincere,
the criminal classes will develop the moral
sense much more rapidly than they are do
ing now. So says the evOlutiOniSt.-
tiOnal Weekly.

Character.

Over the beauty OF the plum and tie
apricot there grows bloom and glory more
exquisite than the fruit itself-a soft, deli
cate flush. that overspreads its blushing
face. Now. if you strike your hand over
that. and it is once gone. it is gone forever,
for it never grows but once. The flower
that hangs in the morning impearled with
dew-arrayed as no Queenly woman was
ever arrayed in jewels-once shake it so
that the beads fall off, and you may sprinkle
water over it as you please. yet it can never
be made again what it was when the dew
fell silently upon it from Heaven. On a
frosty morning you may see the panes of
glass covered with landscapes, mountains,
lakes and trees. blending in a beautiful fan
tastic picture. Now lay your hand upon
the glass, and by the scratch of your finger.
or the warmth of your palm, all the delicate
tracery will be Obliterated.
So there is in youth beauty and purity
of character which, when once touched and
detiled, can never be restored-a fringe more
delicate than frOstwOrk, and which, when
torn and broken, will never be re- embrOid-
ered A man who has soied and spotted
his garments in youth. though he may seek
to make them white again, can never wholly
do 1t. When young man leaves his fathers
house with the blessing of his mothers tears
still wet upon his forehead. If he once lose
that purity of character it is loss that he
can never make whole again. Such is the
consequence of crime. Its effects cannot
be got rid of; they can only be forgiven

Old Men in Tail.

A recent visitor to one of the Punjaub jails was
amazed to find remarkably large number of old
men among the prisoners almost one convict in
five having gray beard. The jailer being asked
for an explanation, replied: ut is common
practice, when a theft is brought home to a man
by the police, for him to get old father or uncle
to take the blame on himself. or he puts up a
young brother to do Before the court they
make full and crcumstantal confession. They
convicted and the real thieves get off, and it
is for the family benefit that this should be so. A
sturdy young man is able to do more for the fam
lily support by honest labor by thieving than an
old man or boy. The old man had lost many of
the instincts and appetites which make liberty so
dear to the young man. He cannot be put to any
very hard labor, and will be we'll fed and we'll
looked after while he is in Jail. If boy confesses
he will probably escape with fogging. The con-
viction of an old man boy will look quite as
well in the police returns as that of an able
bodied young man. So long as they get their con-
viction, the police don't trouble themselves very
much about the matter."-Selected.

In the municipal court at Fredericksburg
there was last month pronounced sentence
on man who may justly be styled "hard
case" At the trial he claimed to nave no
recOllectiOns of ever having been in the
tolls of the law before, but upon investiga-
ton it was found that he had been placed
under arrest no less than fOrtv-six times
during the past twenty-five years. and that
his several imprsonments aggregated
4.512 days. In other words, during the
past twenty-five years he had served
forty-six terms in prison. aggregating nearly
twelve years. The North.

Sam Nightsinger, the bawdy house
piano player who combined the exciting
pastime of attempted abduction with an
earnest endeavor to commit murder last
Monday evening, was given a preliminary
hearing yesterday. The specific allega,

was that Nightsinger discharged a re,
volver at Jessie Clark, firing point blank
at her head. Sam hadn't been able to
get anyone to practice on and missed
Miss Clark. A pretty conclusive case
was made out against the defendant and
he was, in default of $500 bonds, sent to
the county Jail to await the action OF the

requested to furnish bail.
