It seems that in Corsica you secure
your personal safety by keeping bandit.
In an article in the National Review
Basil Thompson explains that the tax of
supporting bandit is not without its
compensations. Bandits are hidden
power in the country. They control the
petty elections; they menace those who
are hostile to their own friends, Thus,
while the existence of 600 Of them is a
real danger to public security, it is no
small advantage to Corsican to be re-
lated to bandit. You support, you
pay, protect the bandit; and in return
he places his gun at your disposal. 1t is
an exchange of services. "Hc has a ban
dit in his service" is common express
sion. Are you in debt' The bandit
will gain you time. Are you disputlng
the ownership of propertyi The bandit
will show your opponent he is wrong
Have YOU land on which shepherds tres
pass2 He will keep them off.

According to q st. Louis decision,
quoted by the Boston Transcript, the
stealing of electricity is misdemeanor
in the eyes of the law. A hardware
dealer with some knowledge of electri-
city placed fine wire across the connec'
tions to his meter, and caused 1T to
register in a certain time about 320 am
peres less than was actually used. When
brought to trial his lawyer interposed the
ingenious defence that, as at common
law electricity was unknown, and could
not under the code be made u subject Of
larceny, and as no statutory law had been
passed making it felony or misdemean-
or to steal electricity, for the reason that
its character was not known, and that 1t
was not subject to asportation as person
al property, his client could not be con-
roted of larceny. 1t was, however,
shown by the prosecution that gas, also
unknown at common law, was neverthc
less something whose larceny was recog'
nized by the law as misdemeanor
When the attorney for the defence inter
posed the plea that the act in question
was fraud or deception instead OF
larceny, the judge took advantage of th'
Missouri statute which m axes fraud per
netrated with a view to theft felony
and set the defendants bail at 5000.

THE war between the stockmeu
and the "rustlers" In Wyoming is an
incident Of frontier life In COM
munity where primitive conditions
have not yet been supplanted by a
social organization. In such q To-
cality and amid such environments
there is little or no respect paid to
law Its restraints are not felt and
its penalties excite slight apprehen-
sion. 1t Is natural, perhaps, that the
cattle thieves should have the SYM
pathy Of the small farmers. The lat
ter look with no favor on the big
ranchmen, and the rustlers do not
steal from the small farmers. 1t is
the stray mavericks from the great
herds which the thieves regard as
their legitimate prey. 1t Is anoma-
lous, however, that the peace officers
should be found on the side Of the
rustlers, as appears to have been the
case in Johnson County. Under suck
conditions the action Of the ranch
men is not without excuse. The
present trouble marks the speedy and
final disappearance of the range as
factor in breeding and feeding cattle.
The rapid settlement Of the country
and the use Of the land for farming
purposes will soon compel the owners
OF immense herds to fence the boun-
dairles reserved for grazing their
stock. This will operate also to re.
duce the size Of the herds. With Q
reduction in the number Of cattle be-
longing to one Individual or company

Most of the orchards planted in the
Inst century by the Indians in various
localities, and particularly in central
and Western New York, have gradually
disappeared under the axe or by the lapse
Of years; but the older residents still
remember many which endured the as
aults of weather and time. Among
others were the remains of peach ORCH
ird in the town OF Pennington in Onta-
cio County, half mile south OF the
small village known as Pumpkin Hook.
One of these trees was measured in the
spring of 1881, VIXEN it was found to be
foot in diameter. 1t must then have
been many years old; it appeared quite
healthy at the time, and the "yellows"
had not yet reached that part of the
country, although introduced fifty miles
eastward. The trees were Of course all
seedlings, of the variety known as the
'Tndiau peach," of rather poor quality.
An apple orchard, containing several
trees, stood half mile east Of the village
of Levanna on Cayuga lake; the trees
had evidently stood there many years.
One of them yielded fruit so good in
quality that the settlers in the early part
of the present century, who were at
tempting to provide fruit for their new
homes, came II lies to cut gratis of this
accidentally good variety. Most of the

that very soon. The wheelman travels
faster than the horseman; he makes no

most instances he can go where no horse

the hard fights In Charleston harbor aud
up aud down the coast of the Confederate

for harbor defence, although there is power

Soley's naval battalion. The famous
kearsage accompanied the monitor
into the harbor, and the two
vessels, each with great record,
naturally attracted much attention. Nothing
coad illustrate more vividly the advance in
naval architecture and in the appliances Of
warfare than the comparison which every
| observer must make between these vessels Of
thirty years ago and the white squadron Of
today. The ships that saved the Union are

Bunker Hill Anniversary.

The celebration of Bunker Hill day was
more largely observed this year than hereto
fore, which goes to demonstrate that we are
either becming more patriotic or are more
apprec ative OF our holidays rs means of
recreation. One thing is certain-there Is
this anniversary, as the vast crowds which
throng the Charlcstown district make 1t al
most impossible for person TO move about,
and the amount of fatigue which this con-
dltion of things engcndcrs, in my humble
opinion, more THAI offsets the satisfaction
felt at witnessing the gorgeous parades tn
day calls forth.
