A Train Of Blacl,cuards.

In many of the great cities of Europe
whenever great festival is about to
take place all the questionable and sus-
picious characters are urged" by the
police to take a few days airing in tie
country and TO disappear for time
from their accustomed haunts. This is
found preferable to putting them under
lock and key.
In Petersburg and Moscow and in Vi.
emma these who do not leave CT their
own accord on being thus pressed are
shipped off by the police in a special
train, and Japan has recently adopted
the same excellent custom.
Now, whenever popular pageant is
about to take place the Soshi-no- Kisha,
or train Of blackguards, may be seen
steaming away into the country with
its freight of known and suspected
malefactors.

Tho Critic Answered,

An acute critic calls attention to
what be styles an inelegance in a lead
ing article Of The Pilot. 1t is that in
which the following sentence occurs:
And Paul said, But was born so. -
We are sorry it is inelegant, but it must
stand as it is. fer it happens to be the
exact words Of the New Testament,
chapter xii, verse 2S, of the Acts of the
Apostles. The Pilot never tries to i'm.
prove upon The Language Of holy writ.
Some afternoon when we have reformed
ell the wrongs in the world and point
ed out all the faults Of all our neighbors
for their reformation we may sit down
and revise the New Testament, but il
will not be this year nor next year.
Somewhere along about 1898 we shall
