Evidence of Insanity.

An old lawyer of distinction delighted
to tell the following story;
MANY years ago, was defending a
prisoner for DEMONSTRATING, and, seeing
no other means of defending him in the
circumstances, set up the plea of in
sanity. / argued it at length, read
many extracts from works on medical
Jurisprudence, and had the patient at
tention of the court. The prosecuting
counsel did not attempt to reply to my
argument or controvert my authorities
/ seemed to have things my own way,
aud whispered to the prisoner that he
needn't be uneasy. Then came the
Judges charge, IN which he reminded
the jury there was no dispute between
counsel as to the facts Of the case In
deed, there could not have been, for
several witnesses had sworn positively
that they saw my client steal the horse.
But" concluded the Court, the
plea of insanity had been set up, and |
charge you, gentlemen of the jury, that
it should receive your very grave and
serious deliberation; but | must be
allowed to say, gentlemen, that, upon a
review Of the whole case, can discover
no evidence of insanity on the part OF
the prisoner, except, perhaps, in the
selection of his counsel.

Burned the wrona Man,

A thief of Ninghieu. near Ningpo,
province of Che King, China. called
Lia-t'ow (scaldhead), was robbing a
house recently in the village Of Cheng-
kiatuau, when he was heard by an old
man left in charge of the place, the
owner and his wife being at a party.
The care-taker went upstairs to look,
but found no one, the intruder had
hidden himself in the rafters OF the
roof The watchman then proceeded
to treat himself to solitary pipe, and
+, BIZ. some yaisehance set fire to the house.
The building burned while the old man
slept, and the thief came down again to
finish his work, but was alarmed at
seeing the flames, and was making the
best Of his way off when he was caught
by the villagers. Unfortunately for
him the fire spread until seventeen huts
were burned down.
The lynch law practised in Chinese
villages is very severe upon incen-
diaries, and in the minds Of the viii
layers there seemed no doubt that in
Lia-tow they had caught one red
handed. His appeals for justice or
mercy met with no response; they
tied him hand and foot with straw
ropes, poured lamp oil on the poor
wretch, and hurled him into the burn
ing mass, where death after some min
utes put an end 70 his terrible suf-
ferings.

He Made the Teller Come / o Time. I"

The autocratlc paying teller OF cer'
tain Nassau street bank had an un-
pleasant experience one day last week.
A tall young man with whiskers
trimmed as though they had been laid
out by landscape gardener hurried up
to the window and presented q check
for $3.50.
"Please let me have it in" he
began.
Mind your own business" snapped
the red-headed autocrat within. iii

The tall young man followed this adj
vice, took the money handed him and
Tod away. In moment lie re-
l156ssss'gd. You've made mistake" he
said, mildly.
"Not responsible for any mistakes
after leaving the window" responded
the paying teller sharply.
But YOU"
"We make no corrections; move on"
"Oh, very well, said the tall young
man cheerfully, waving a bill at the
grating, Il was only going to tell you
you had given me $50 too much, but l
can stand it if you can, he added as he
turned away.
The change that came over the red
headed teller was extraordinary.
"Hey there, hold on. he called.
Mind your own business, shall suit
my own convenience.
But wait moment" called the
teller, growing more and more agitated,
as he hastily unlocked the window and
thrust out his head.
Don't grow excited" responded the
overpaid young man soothingly, eve
never make corrections after leaving
the window"
"Oh don't mind that. come back
here" pleaded the head from the win
dow beseeehingly. d,
By this time the dialogue was attfact-
ing attention and the tall young man
stepped up to the teller and said,
sharply:
Il have come to you again and again
with checks to be cashed for the firm,
and you are always grumpy, ungentle-
manly, and disobliging. To-day you
thought you had underpaid me, and
you were going to let me suffer. In
stead of that you gave me $50 too much,
and have got you just where I want
you. If you will apologize for your
meanness and agree to be pleasant and
obliging hereafter, you can have the
$50 back, but under no other con-
dition."
Those who listened did not hear what
The paying teller answered, but his
meek tone and the return of the fifty
dollar bill told sufficiently plain story

Three Nnted Midows.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has re-
turned from Florida, and is seen on the
streets occasionally, a little figure,
slight, white haired, and folded in a
black shawl When seen latel. there
was the faintest touch of pink on her
cheeks, giving her that delicate, she'll
like beauty which sometimes goes with
a soft, hite skin ard viii curls. She
had bunch of lilies cf the valley in
her bosom.
Mrs. Beecher's rooms are full of pic
lures of her husband as the young
lover, in the prime of life, as he was
the year he died; and most of these
pictures are so placed that the trail Of
a vine, the re ais of a flower caress
them. Her interests in life are largely
tho things that interested him. or that
she believes would, if he were now
living, meet his approval. She gives a
helping hand to the Brooklyn Woman s
Health Protective Association, which
wishes to clean the streets of dirty
city.
Mrs Custer, in black dress, and with
winning eyes, was seen on Broadway
the other day. Mrs. Custer has the
record, | believe, of never makir an
acquaintance who does not wish to be-
come her friend. She walks the pave
ments with a splendidly free step in
which one could almost fancy remin-
iscence of the plains. A more prosaic
explanation is found in her broad soled,
common-sense shoes. She is devoted
to her husbands memory, and absorbed
in her literary occupations.
Mrs. Julia Dent Grant looks we'll and
kindly and is at present rather stouter

Victoria, however, is fieshier, and Mrs.

Turkish PunIsbmcnts.

Tn Turkey twenty years ago men
wore hanged for tribes: tradesmen who

This last punishment, by the way. was

and peasants generally, whose soles

men, clerks, aud women the stripes
we're excruciatingly painful aud
brought weeks of lameness.
The present Sultan has abolished
the batinado in the European part OF
his dominions, and practically done
away with capital punishment, except
for brigandage and for attempts of as
sassina ing high officials. Even brig
ands, however. are only hanged when
they have laid hands on foreigners and
caused an cutlery in the European
press. Genuine Turks seldom find
their way into Jail, saving for murder
or inability to pay taxes, and the muir
ders are often committed under the in
fiuence of religious fanaticism, when
the Mussulman, driven mad by the fast
of the Ramadan or by the rejoicipgs Of
the Bairam holidays, runs amuck with
O knife amoGg a crowd of Giaours.
Such offenders, however, are always
leniently dealt with by the Pashas. un-
less, of course, they happen to kill a
foreign Christian having an AMI ASA
dore to avenge him.
In Turkish prisons the Mussulmans
and Christians are kept apart, and the
former, grave and gentleman like
looking set of men, bask in the sun
most of the day. smoking, and the per
form frequent ablutions at the trickling
fountain in the middle Of their airing

with the utmost patience until it shall
please Allah to open the prison doors
for them. The Christians, herd of
Greeks, Bulgarians, and Macedonians,
with the most villainous faces, morals,
and manners imaginable, have to be
ruled with tight hand to be kept
from strangling one another. When it
becomes necessary to hang one of these
gentry the Greek goes to his puni h.
ment struggling and bowling; the
Turk makes no more ado about the
matter than if he were going to have
his head shaved AS the Turkish Ev
chequer provides no hangman or ropes
for executions, some curious things
occasionally happen. Not long ago a
Turk, who had TO be hanged at Kird-
JOLT, walked about the town for an hour
with two soldiers who had been ordered
to execute him. These soldiers did not
mean to buy rope with their own
money, and they failed to borrow one.
Eventually, they broke into a stable,
stole rope, and hanged their man
from nail over the door, Temple
Bar.

bill will allow an early commencement
of that building. The bill was not on the
calendar for suspension day, and had TO be
taken up by unanimous consent. This
was granted by consent of Cannon, who first
demanded that the clause making an i'm
mediate appropriation of the money should
be stricken out. The bill, as passed, in
creases the limit Of the appropriation for
the Sacramento building from $4,000 to

POLICE COURT CLERK.
John n. LarlSin Resigns, and e.
Duden Amounted to the Place

John n. LarIxin Resigns, and e. F.
Duden Appointed to the Place.
When the Police Court was called to Or
der yesterday, Judge Buckley stated that J.
n. Larkin, who has filled for long time
the position of Clerk of that Court, had
rendered his resignation, and at his earnest
solicitation the Court had accepted the
same. The Judge then paid a handsome
compliment to Mr. Larkin, who he said
had been most efficient and faithful off.
Ger. His records and financial accounts
had always been found strictly correct, and
were credit to him. Between the Court
and the retiring official there existed a
strong personal attachment, and the forme r
viewed the retirement of the latter with
regret.
Judge Buckley said he had rendered the
vacant place to George Newman, but that
the latter could not accept because of his
business affairs AT the request of several
attorneys he had appointed Z. F. Duden, the
welEknown stenographer, to the place, and
that the latter had accepted.
Remarks complimentary to the retiring
official and his successor were made also
by City Attorney Church and E. G. Hart.
