Youthful Jack Sheppard.


 ''What shall we do with our boy" WAS a question plaintively put to the magistrate of the North London police court by the authorities of the local workhouse, who are charged with the safe keeping of youth named Arthur Hastings until his presence is required in a court of justice to answer a charge in stealing and maiming pigeons. Arthur is complete problem in himself, although he is only years of age. Over the affair of the pigeons he boldly swam the river Lea in the vain attempt to escape arrest. Locked up in bedroom 40 feet from the ground he utilized the bedclothes as @ rope, climbed out of the window, and got away. Recapture followed. He was next put into chamber of which the win dow was nailed up, but, with patience and ingenuity that prove how strongly the love of liberty is implanted in his youthful breast, he managed to pick out the nails with his fingers. Once more using an e1- temporized bedclothes rope, he decended the 40 feet intervening between him and freedom and escape. With some trouble he was again captured. This time the workhouse authorities deprived him of his clothing and placed him in 8 cell, also 40 feet above the ground, of which the win dow was guarded with iron bars only six inches apart. But between the stanchions he managed to squeeze his body; once more made the bed sheets into a rope, and got away. An eclipse is thus threatened | to the fame of Jack Sheppard. The work house authorities asked the magistrate to | relieve them of their difficult charge, and | to send him to prison instead. MT. Bros de- | clined the application; they were responsi- ble for him, and must keep him safe. Per haps they have padded room unoccupied, and a straight iacketl

Fre.h uaIer,al for Novel.

A suicide of most distressing and dram stic character took place last week in Paris. A young, lady of +, named Pauline Menard, was married to NJ. Lecointre, 36 years of age. At the wedding breakfast and through out the day, even indeed during the ball with which the festivities wound up, the young bride appeared to be perfectly hap py and thoroughly enjoying herself, not missing a single dance. At 11:30 her mother conducted the bride to her apart ment Half an hour later when the hus- band followed, he found his young wife writhing in agony on the bed. She had just strength enough left to tell him that she had poisoned herself with lsudanum, ss she had sworn to be faithful to another man whom she loved. A letter was found in her handwriting, which ran as follows: 'I know you love me sincerely. know it was wrong of me to al low him to visit me. love you also but love another to whom have sworn to be faithful. In marrying you I was no longer able to carry out my promise without doing you greivous wrong, and this would not entertain for a moment because you are an honorable and good man. commit sui eide so that shall only belong to death. Forgive me once more, and also ask my dear parents to forgive me, for love them with all my heart. PAULINE"
 NJ. Lecointre was distracted with grief, and his reason seems to have given way un- der this terrible misfortune. He had to be taken home, and has since been carefully watched in order to prevent him from at tempting his own life.

PRoTECTION FOR DEBTORS.

N ron O1ASs
 Bad debt collection agencies made it rather unpleasant for some debtors awhile ago by sending bills in envelopes with very personal remarks printed on them. But it was found that the law did not permit such pursuing of a debtor. And now it has been decided in Cincinnati that a man who does not pay his tailor must be treated rather carefully. A num- Der of judgments were advertised for sale by the Cincinnati Merchant Tailors' exchange. The name of the debtor was given under the head of Delinquent" together with his business, residence and the amount of the judgment. One GUS toner sued the exchange for libel. He alleged that the publication was an in nuendo that he had ''dishonestly and dis honorably evaded and refused to pay said claim and was a worthless and dishonest person, not entitled to the confidence and respect of the com munity." The trial judge ruled that the publication WAS no libel and directed 8 verdict for the tailors. This ruling is re- versed by the Cincinnati Superior court, general term. It holds that whether the publication was libellous or not was a question which should have been left to the jury. "The word delinquent, which appears above the plaintiffs name, is itself," says Judge Smith, "a word of ambiguous meaning. It may have the mild sense of simple failure to perform a duty or it may have the additional mean ing that in failing to perform the duty there has been committed crime or of tense, or that there has been moral fail ure of some kind in connection with the failure to discharge the duty"
 This makes it rather pleasant for the debtors and decidedly unpleasant for the tailOrs

A New Hybrid Rose.

We have more than once insisted on the value of the Japanese Rosa multifiora as a hardy shrub. A figure illustrating its flowers and foliage was published some time ago in this journal. The picture in the present issue is of fine specimen in the garden of John Robinson of Salem, Massachusetts. It shows the manner of growth of a plant which possesses an indi- vidual beauty surpassed by that of few of the plants found in our gardens; and apart from its own merits it seems destined to play an important part in the creation of a new race of hardy climbing roses. MT. Dawson has been hybridizing it at the Ar hold arboretum and has already produced two or three distinct seedlings of very con siderable value. We are able to produce on page 533 of this issue photograph of one of these hybrids obtained by crossing Rosa multihora with the we'll known Hy- bred Perpetual General Jacqueminot, the latter betng the pollen parent. The result is a vigorous and hardy plant with a ten dency to climb high. The spines and foli- are those of the pollen parent, but the fow- CTS are clustered like those of R. multifora, sometimes as many as sixty being deyel- oped in a single panicle. They are semi double, rose-colored, an inch across, and exceedingly fragrant, In Rosa multiflors may be found the ancestor more or less di- rect of the o-called Polyantha or minia- ture clustered roses which have become popular of late years in English gardens; but none of those are very hardy CT very satisfactory with us here in the northern states, probably because they or their pa rents are of southern origin, and the real interest of the results obtained by Mir Dsw- son lies in the that by working from an ab- solutely hardy form of rosa multifiora he has been able to lay the foundation for a race of hybrids of as great or greater beau ty than any of the Polyantha race found in gardens, and absolutely hardy.

IAN INTERPRETING MEETING.

IAN INTERESTING MEETING.
 The meeting of the board of aldermen last evening was unusually interesting.
 One of the most remarkable reports that was ever presented to the court of common council was that sent into the board of al- dermen by the Committee on Water. The committee gave the Water company what are popularly known as "fits" and after doing this voluminously and definitely, recommended that the company be allowed to live two years longer and furnish water to the city for $sO, ,OoO and then be gobbled up by "the people," AS the aldermen did not feel prepared to settle this large dis pute last evening the report was tabled for printing. The substance of it is printed on another page of this paper and there will be abundant opportunity to discuss it between now and the next meeting.
 The report of the board of finance con- corning city advertising was considered and it was voted to advertise in all the daily papers. We consider this action judicious. The city advertising should be made as effective as possible and should be done in such a way as to best accom- modate all the taxpayers. No fault can be found if the readers of all the daily papers find the city adveI Itisements in them, but there would be reason for fault finding if two were selected.
 The next meeting of the board of alder men may be even more interesting than that of last evening.

Parker was twenty eight years old three prominent physicians, believing him to be destined to an early end, offered to maintain him handsomely as long as he lived for the privilege of making an autopsy thereafter. MT. Parker has lived twenty years in excellent health to the great dis comfture of the medical men. They are said to believe that he has a twin brain, but his mental processes seem not different from those of his fellows. a
 A curious case is being considered by the treasury department at Washington It appears that a quantity of railroad iron was imported into New Orleans for the use of the Memphis and Little Rock rail road, just before the war broke out in 1861, and that the custom house officials at that city handed it over to the railroad company without e1acting from that cor poration any duty at all, as it had been oAouShe Ahoo ohio oouheiy AoE tuc DcucnI of the confederate cause in equipping the road for military purposes.

 The King of Dahomey rides occasionally, and he has had a carriage built for him at Altoona in Prussia. This carriage is not arranged to be drawn by horses but by sixteen slaves. Three shafts, covered with silver, project in front and have cross pieces by which the slaves draw the vehiclcle. In the rear are handles for two slaves to push. There is no seat for the coachman, but in its place are sculptured ornaments comp osed of limitations of sharks, ostrich eggs and palms. The car risge is we'll cushioned and covered with blue silk. The body is painted dark blue, with running part in red, and rich silver ornaments show everywhere.

A wonderful flower has been discovered on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Its chief peculiarity is the habit of changing it's colors during the day. In the morning it is white, when the sun is at it's zenith it is red and at night it is blue. The rec, white and blue flower grows on tree about the size of guava tree, and only at noon does it give out any perfume.
