The Criminal Type.

Deeming, the murderer of women and
children, who is known to have killed
two Of his wives and four of his own
children, is claimed by Psychologists as
belonging to the distinctly criminal
type. He was brave enough when it
was question of numbering the help
less, but he weakened like white liv-
cred coward and shook like leaf, beg
ging for mercy, when it came his own
turn to go. 1t will be interesting to
know the final result of the autopsy of
his brain-whether it was different from
other mems.
Criminals are divided by the physiolo-
gists into three classes--the born Grim
inal, the criminal from brain disease
and the one who has become such from
depraved associations and company in
early life. The born criminal has a re-
treating forehead, large jaw and head
somewhat fiat behind, and face and
head which always are more or less lop
sided and out of symmetry. Moreover,
curly haired people are seldom crimi-
nails. These points have been established.
Then the doctors, apparently having ar
niS,9fls nniiyed at the extent Of theic knowledge,
"convolutions of gray matter" and are
lost to common mortals. Deeming
seems to have been criminal born with
temperament bordering on the insane,
though it was kind of insanity that
needed to be stopped short off.

What England Has Done for Egypt.
The Christian Union saws:

The reforms wrought In Egypt by England in
the last nine years are admirably summarized
by Mr.. E. II. Woodruff In letter to The Ma
ton. Putting the total result in general terms,
he asserts that "a looted treasury, a disorgan-
lied and almost hopelessly corrupt admins
tration, q rebellious and cowardly army, and q
people crushed under unbearable taxation,
have in this short space of time and in the
face of oriental apathy and French obstruc-
ton, been metamorphosed into order, plenty
AMI content"
Recognizing that material and financial
prosperity In Egypt depended primarily on
agriculture, and that this In turn depended on
irrigation, English engineers have put in 1,500
miles of drains, have reclaimed 100000 acres
from the lagoons north Of the Nile delta and
have under construction a system of canals,
sluices and weirs to cost 100000, which will
irrigate the whole Nile valley. AS a single re-
suit of the work already done it is stated that
the annual yield of cotton has increased l50,-
900 tons, valued at S4,OOO,0O0.
The corrupt and tyranncal system of clear
ing the canals from silt deposits by forced, un-
paid labor has been abolished and paid con-
tract labor substituted. The old corvee sys-
TEN was a fertile cause of bribery, favoritism
and neglect Of the general interest. Slavery
has been discouraged and is rapidly disappear
Ing. Agricultural roads are being made, and
the cart is taking the place of the camel. The
army has been reorganized; instead of being
half starved, whipped and cheated of pay, the
Egyptian soldiers are now well fed, regularly
paid and encouraged to have an esprit de
corps.
No wonder they acted like towards at Tel-el-
Kebir, under the old training of abuse and in
suit; In recent engagements they have shown
the effect of decent and reasonable treatment.
In the civil service, In postal arrangements,
In police and sanitary matters, in educational
and Judiciary appointments-everyw there
have been sweeping and radical reforms The
most creditable side of the story is that Egyp-
tians have been employed everywhere, in every
grade of public service, whenever possible;
there has been no grasping of offices and sal
aries for English residents; IN the immense
irrigation system, for instance, only seventeen
Englishmen are employed from top to bottom.
There is an honest and consistent effort to
make the people of Egypt self helpful and in
dependent. Whatever may be said of the in
ternational aspects of the Egyptian question,
it must be admitted that industrially and
financially, the country has gained enormous
ly from the English predominance.

A Nice Little White Lie.

The Brattleboro Phoenix, after
publishing the result of the Rutland
caucus, under big head lines, in an
editorial calls it a "gratifying result"
and then proceeds, like the other lit
tie organs, to stab at the Rutland
Herald for, as it says Sin attempting
to run campaign of personal detrac-
ton of Col. Fuller" The SITTER
doesn't propose to take up any cud-
gels in behalf of the Herald, for it is
abundantly able to take care of itself,
but it does seem passing strange that
a respectable newspaper should
charge another with running "a cam
paign of personal detraction" against
its candidate when it has never, in a
single instance, pointed out these de-
fractions and disposed of them, as it
could were they false. But here is
the point the SITTER is after, the
Phoenix, as if conscious smitten or
afraid that some of it's readers might
think strange of a caucus being held
SO early, says:
"The Rutland caucus has been
held early, but this is in accordance
with the usual method, delegates to
the state and county conventions be-
ing always elected at the same eau
Gus"
Now this, by implication, is a nice
little white lie. Some might feel dis
posed to drop the "nice little white, J"
but it is always best to be as respect
full as circumstances will permit. Let
us see. Wouldn't the reader of this
paragraph naturally conclude that
Rutland was on the eve Of holding its
county convention and that this eau
Gus was called thus early in order to
meet that emergency. Certainly.
| Was it not the intention of the writer
of this paragraph that such belief
should be entertained ? Undoubtedly.
Now what are the facts? Why this !:
the Rutland county convention was
called for the 18th of June while this
caucus with its Gratifying result
was held on the 26th of MAY, p
days before the meeting of the
county convention and p days prior
to the state convention. The SITTER
is decidedly of the opinion that lit
tie truth injected into this campaign
upon the part of the Fuller organs
would not be considered "detrac-
ton.

men that there are at least one thou
sand republicans in Windham county
who will not vote for Levi Fuller if
he is nominated. Yet, in the face of
this fact, that ought to be seen by the
most obtuse, politicians are trying to
force his nomination, and in this

DEAR COURIER: Ned Todd appears to
BIO growing worse instead of better and
after this writing we do not expect to
multiply any moro words with him. We
arc sorry, however, that our little con,
%trovcrsy has resulted in placing him on
public record as favoring profanity and
dirty language in public by the Governo,
of our State 10 express his sentiments.
Ned" if 20" had been at Westminster
Oh Saturday night last you would have
sccn a Huing witness to our previous
statements as to the Governors use of
such language. Wo will mail you this
week a clipping from tho Columbia Reg
lister, of July I'd, which may serve to
satisfy y0u as to III correctness on this
subject. Yes, Ned, tho Governor has
given his reasons for not signing tho tax
extension bill, which was about as fol
lows: That ho had to raise money 10 pay
the interest on the public debt, and that
tho banks Of tho State, being unfriendly
to the administration, he could not Dor
row tho money with which to meet this
interest. But he did not pay his own
taxes until some time afterwards. This
goes to prove that no was not in sympa
thy with thop poor people of the State, in
this as well as many .other instances.
Besides it has already boon provon that a
certain bank in the State offered to 1oan
tho State money for the purpose of pay
ing this interest, which, we think, places
the Governor in an awkward position.
What We think of tho Governors man
agcment of the Coosaw case is just this
Our State treasury is now short at loast
$780, 600 for want of q man to have man
aged this matter coolly and calmly, re-
garding tho interest of tho State from
more than IL standpoint. Good-by,
"Ned."
Capt. John Vandiver, of Westminster,
got his left hand badly mashed at this
place on Wednesday last, while coupling
cars which his men were placing on the

is not expected that he will lose any part
of. his hand.

charged with stealing. After he was

came Immediately to his house, where
they found twelve watches, q quantity Of
chains, and othor jewelry, hats, gloves
and clothing. These goods were recog-
nized as belonging to Mr.. G. w. Gignil-
lat, of Seneca.
Mrs. j. L.. Shanklin lost three nice
