ENGLISH COMMENT ON VALIANT.
Rumored Death of Kossuth, the
Patriot.
WORDS FROM ITALY

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Pail Mall Gazette
commenting today On the verdict In the case
of Auguste Valiant, the French anarchist
who was yesterday sentenced to death for
premeditated attempt at assassination. he
having thrown the bomb that wounded SO
many persons in the chamber of deputies at
Paris, says 1t is significant of the fabbiness
of the times that people should praise the
tury's courage in rendering a verdict of
guilty against valiant, who confessed and
boosted of his crime 1t is an unhealthy
sign when plain performance of duty is
applauded as courageous. This spirit will
not succeed in graphing with society's enc
mics. Anarchists, by morbid vanity fed.
fancy themselves heroes in seeing regiments
of soldiers surrounding the court house in
which one of them is being tried.
The Westminster Gazette says that Vail
liant is a specimen of the modern type Of
the literate criminal. He interlarded his
answers to the judge with illusions to Irwin
and Spencer. whose teachings he pretended
to have translated when he fashioned his
bombs. His career was the result of GRIM
inal instinct and the heredity environing
him. Education does not eradicate this
faint.

The Coster's JOY and Sorrow.
Inndon Daily Telsgrapho

George All.n provided in the City Sum,
mons Court a theme Cor another song on
the Joys and SORROWS OF a costers life.
The joys consisted in having house fun
Of children, and the sorrows In not being
able to make a living without having the
police down on him for obstructing the
thoroughfare with his barrow Of fruit.
Connection Is now SO keen, even In the
costermongering trade. that those en-
2aged I'm IL cannot make both ends meet.
They won't let me get "A Twin" whim-
pered Allin to Mr.. Alderman Davis. This
is not the first time I've seen you here
remarked the latter sharply. Allin looked
up. and replied between his sobs: You re
a very nice gentleman. sir; bat do as
sure you as don't come TO see yer or my
own free will" Don't pretend 10 cry
like that here" said the Alderman; "you
will hsve TO pay Is. and costs "Oh,
sir" cried the coster. raising his arms
deprecatingly. don't speak 10 me In that
tone OK voice or you'll break my heart.
I'm a trenholm all over Ike u leech"
The audience in court could not help
laughing at the half-serious. half-comic
appearance presented by Allin. who APP
peared to quake all the more when the
MAGISTRATE remarked: You are always
trembling when you come here" Clti-
mately the man was allowed time to pay
the fine, instead OF going 10 prison right
off. After receiving this concession. he
sturdily remarked: Il should like TO say
a word, sir. | might as well be a foot
carpet at once" He was proceeding to
enlarge on the sorrows OF a coster's life
