That was a strange spectacle pre-
sented in the criminal our room at
Kansas City last week when the jury
returned a verdict aoquitting Alice
Plat of the charge of poisoning the
three Mussey children. From The evil
dence It was generally supposed that
the trial would result IN either a hung
Jury or conviction. When the verdict
of aequittal was announced, the women
spectators, who had thronged the court
constantly during the trial,
rushed up to the prisoner, threw their
arms about her, kissed her and show
cred congratulations upon her. A few
feet distant stood the heart broken
neither of the dead children, wlIh no
one to offer words of comfort or SYM
pathy. The contrast was striking,
and exhibited a queer phase of human
nature. 1t is diaiculL to account for n
sentiment that wonld prompt a person
to sympathize with a criminal and re-
joice in the guilty ones escape from
justice. But it is n fact, nevertheless,
as illustrated every day. There is en-
tirely too much foolish sentiment and
misplaced sympathy bestowed upon
murdeoers and other criminals.

WRONG Impressions Removed.

From the Louisville Courier journal.
The opulent word artists who de-
scribed the Rradley-Marti ball for the
provinces tell us that the guests did
mo- begin dancing until they had paid
their respects to the hostess.
This is reassuring.
Out here in the backwoods there was
a general impression that entirely diff
ferent usages prevailed in the select
circles of New York society.
H~ereabouts, for instance, we had
been led TO believe that in those circles
the guests did not begin dancing until
they had locked up the hostess in the
coal bin.
In Chicago there was a conviction
that the guests did not begin dancing
until they hsd-paid their admission fees
at,the door.
In Kansas City they supposed that
the guests did not begin dancing until
they had paid their assessments for The
music and the feed.
In Cincinnati they thought That the
guests did not begin dancing until at
least the fifth round of liqueur de Peo-
ria had been served.
In Laramie City they would have
taken their oaths on a stack of blues
that the guests did not begin dancing
unit! the gents had emptied their hip
pockets of their guns and the ladies
had relieved their stockings of their
raZors.
In Washington they agreed that the
guests did not begin dancing until the
wires were properly pulled,
In Philadelphia they were satisfied
that the guests did not begin dancing
until the roof fell in or the cellar blew
mp.
Al St. Louis there was an idea that
the guests did n begin dancing until
they had ridden the hostess on a rail.
Even In Brooklyn there was a fear
that the guests did not begin dancing
until the doors and windows had been
securely fastened against Chapman
and the police.
1t is u liberal education to learn that
really the guests did not begin dancing
until they had paid their respects to
The hostess; and we trust that the
P~atriarchs who are organizing the
Chicago aristocracy, and the Twink
ling Socials, who form the nucleus of
society in Podunk, will take note.

Out in n of the pretty towns of

A few days ago a local political club
was organized. At the clubs first regu-
lar meeting n goodly number OF solid
citizens was present and deep interest
was manifested. One or two very SEN
sible addresses had been made, when
our would-be Adonis arose and began
to speak. He took the position thatthe
others were all wrong. They didn't
understand these great questions and
he would set them right. And then, in
a loud voice. he began to demonstrate
his monumental asininity. After awhile
an old g~ray-headed judge arose directly
in front of the orator, and pointing a.
finger at him, said:
John, if you would only go out on
some illimitable desert and let off YOUR
wind there you would confer a lasting
boon on your suffering townsmen and
relieve the atmosphere of a stupendous
quantity of noxious gas"

France started the ball with the
Eiffel tower, says London Invention.
England ~endeavored to go one better
with the Wembley, which is still in an
embryo stage and appears likely to re-
main SO, while u American cousins
struck a bright and novel idea in the
Ferris revolving wheel, which was aft
erward introduced into England, and
last season went merrily round, except
when it occasionally stopped and re-
quired more Dr. less coaxing ere it re-
sumed its daily round" As a fact,
our readers will remember it once had
"a night out" on its own account. Now
French ingenuity is once again to the
fore, and this time the idea is to con-
struct a lofty building that will spin
slowly, like a majestic top. The festive
Parisians are, it is stated, to have this
novelty in their midst, the site chosen
being near the summit of Montmartre,
the highest point within the fortifca-
lions of the gay city. The conception
OF this big revolving tower (about half
the height of the EiffeD is credited to
M. Devic. The motive power for turn
ing h structure, a complete revolution
Of which would occupy about two min
utes, would be hydraulic force. The
upper part of the building would be &C.
cupied by n public ballroom, in which
dancing would take place from eleven
p. m to two a. M. while below this it
is intended 10 construct an artificial ice
