SACRIFICE OF A COW STOPPED

RANGooN, June 26--For several days
the MosleIns had been preparing to cele-
brate religious festival yesterday They
were forbidden by Mr.. Fleming, British
magistrate, to sacrifice a COW near the
Hindoo temple. When the police APP
peared near the temple with Mr.. Flem-

stoned them. The police charged without
firing, and the Mohammedans fought back
with sticks and stones
Mr. Fleming, who went to the spot, and
several policeman, were wounded. The
police withdrew, got reinforcements, and
charged again, without effect.
Mr.. Fleming then ordered them to fire
The volley was delivered at close quar-
ters Twenty Mohammedans fell dead
and many more were wounded severely.
AS the Mohammedans still refused to
disperse, the military were called out

hardly dispersed before they resembled in
another street.
A desultory fight between them and the
troops was in progress all the after
noon. All the military are occupied in
clearing the streets. Many Mohamme-
dams and Hindoos have been killed; scores
have been wounded. Nevertheless they
show no signs Of yielding, but as fast as
they are driven from one district, gather
again in another. The regulars are re-
garded as unequal to the work of sub
DUNG them and volunteers have been
called upon TO do duty in the streets.

THE DANGEROUS CLASSES.

AS population multiplies and cities
are thrOnged, as civilization advances
and wealth increases and poverty, too
crime, unless checked by special
means, will also increase in still great
er ratio; roughs and rowdies and desper-
ADDE'S, gamblers, swindlers, knaves,
thieves pickpockets, garroters and rob-
bers, will multiply apace, until the
courts are overwhelmed and the prisons
crowded; and yet the vast army is re-
cruited and filled up faster than it is de-
pleted by all the efforts of sheriffs,
judges and juries. The continual pass
ing of few through the pains taking
process of arrest, trial and brief impris-
onment, only to return with increased
skill and malignity as heroic leaders to
their old associates, as instructors to the
hosts of nOvices gathered in their alb
sence, will never remedy or remove the
evil 1t is but the labor of Sisyphus.
When one looks at this immense and
swelling host of the " dangerous classes, y
and considers how capable they are, in
these days of guilds, brotherhoOds and
associations, of much more thoroughly
organized combination than they have
yet betrayed, one trembles for the fut-
ure of modern civilization There are
only two remedies for the appalling evil.
and the second is only supplementary
to the first. These are, first. the univer-
sal training of children in knowledge,
morals and religion, including, especial
ly. the outcast, vagrant and neglected
classes of children; and, second, insist
ing upon the reformation of all those
who are duly convicted of crime, before
they are again discharged upon the COM
munity. Both these remedies are, in
our Judgment, imperatively required
for the public welfare and safety. And
if what the public safety and welfare
require is ever to be enacted into law,
it would seem to be when the voice, both
of justice and humanity, both of rigor-
Gus right and of gentle charity, joins
in the requisitiOn.

Superstition.

Has it ever occurred to you what a
great part superstition has ever played
in the affairs of nations, as well as of
men?
From the time of Achilles. who was
left handed because his mother had a
dream, down to John L. Sullivan, who
invariably puts on his left shoe first
when dressing, all classes and conditions
of men have fallen under it's blight.
The Jews are made miserable in Russia,
and the Chinese are excluded from
America because of this power.
From the time that Dennis Kearney,
that blatant sand-lOt demagogue of San
Francisco denounced the leprous celes-
tial, until now, the idea of Chinese and
leprOsy, have been associated in the
minds of most Americans.
Just why this is so it is hard to say.
They are frugal, industrious, tidy set
of men; and those among them who
have been naturaliZed, photographed,
ticketed, and stamped as the new law
requires are certainly average citizens.
But it is as natural for an American
mother to warn her children against a
Cinnamon, as it is for her to wipe their
noses with her apron. But perhaps the
real reason underlying all, is because of
the strong individuality of John -

Ferdinand de Lesseps Sentenced.


Five years Imprisonment for the de
Lesseps, father and son; two years for
Eiffel, Cottu and Fontane. Such is the
verdict in the Panama trial 1t has
produced striking effect upon the
public, who approve all the other SEN
fences, but do not understand that of
De Lesseps, Sr. Nobody can forget the
role he has played, or that it was he
whom the public voice named "The
Great Frenchman" All know that he
has been deemed worthy of every honor
and glory. He is a member of the
French Academy, Grand Cross of the
Legion of Honor and was for twenty
years the real representative of France
when he travelled abroad. And now he
is condemned to five years imprison-
ment, Notwithstanding the fact that
his mental state is such that he can
never know of his condemnation! The
other sentences appear to be just, es-
pecially that of Eiffel, who, as was
cabled during the trial had public opin-
ion against him from the first. When
the judgment was read it produced
kind of StupOr upon the barriSterS and
the public crowded into the audience
chamber in the Palace of Justice, es-
pecially upon those who looked for the
acQuittal of de Lesseps. AS natural
consequence, the "men of law" do not
hesitate to qualify the judgment as
having political character and being
consequence Of the previous sitting
in the Chamber, when all the Deputies
appeared to mOnOpOliZe virtue at any
price. 1t remains to be seen whether
public opinion will ratify the judgment.
We think not. But we have seen since
the commencement of the Panama af-
fair so many changes of opinion that
nothing is impossible. Yet public opin-
ion will never approve the condemna-
ton of the de Lesseps. The condemned
men can take their case into the Court
of Cessation, but men of law do not
think they will have any chance of
changing the sentences of the court.
except, perhaps, in the case of Eitfel,
whose sentence is said to contain a
slight judicial irregularity. In any case,
real French patriots are chagrined to
see two men like De Lesseps and Eiffel,
whose names are known over the whole
universe, abased and condemned to i'm
prisonment while other political cul-
prits escape. At least justice should be
free from political influence The con-
demned men are entirely broken down.

An eminent philosopher said: 81 am
filed with wonder and grief that so
much attention is given to prisons. and
so little to schools This is contrary to
good sense The education of the peo-
pie is the necessary foundation of every
good penitentiary regime. Schools be-
fore prisons, and prisons supplemented
by schools"
In word, the more effort we put
forth to rear and instruct children in
the right way, the less we shall have to
do in REFRESHING the crimes of these
children when they have become men;
or, to say the same thing more briefly
and better, the more schools we have.
the less prisons we shall need.

ton of great natural stength.
Very tightly closed lips are usually
found in secretive characters.

gence: short forehead, activity.
The upper lip when projecting shows
arrogance and want of shame.
\ dimple in the chin is pretty but in
dicates weak mental organization.
The ridge of the perfect nose should
be broad and almost straight.

ated with prudence and foresight.
