Success In Literature.

The style Of writer is the faithful
production of his mind; therefore. if
any man wishes to write clear style,
let him first be clear in his thoughts:
and IL any would write in a noble style,
let him first possess a noble soul and
live a noble life.
Very few of our recent young poets
write good prose. This is very easily
explained. To write good prose one
must have something to say, but he
who has nothing to say can still twirl
verses and find rhymes, where one
word suggests the other, and at last
something comes out, which in fact is
nothing, but which looks as If it were
something.

the United States the average number

MURDER AND ITS PENALTIES.

Punis hmen ON This Crime

Statistics Regarding Eject of Capital
Puni.hment ON This Crime.
From the New York Post: At a
hearing before legislative commit
tee in Boston on a bill for the abolition
of the death penalty, George L. Patter-
son of Cambridge presented statistics
bearing on the subject. He said that
he had at one time made a special
study Of the matter and had collected
considerable material from original
sources. In Michigan, which was the
first state to abolish capital punish
ment, there were thirty-seven murders
in the thirteen years preceding the
passage Of the law abolishing the death
penalty, and thirty-one in the thirteen
years following its abolition, small
decrease on the face of 1t, but as the
population had in the second interval
increased about so per cent the actual
decrease in murder was more than 40
per cent. Rhode Island abolished the
death penalty in 1852, and from 1860
to 1870 the records showed that there
had been a decrease in the crime Of
murder of about 40 per cent. In Wis
cCnsin where the penalty was abol-
ished in 1858, the decrease had been
about per cent from 1871 to 1889,
and in Maine, where it had been abol-
ished and reinstated and again abol-
ished, the decrease had been about the
same. In Iowa it had been abolished
and reinstated, but in the four years
from 1872 to 1876, while the penalty
was not in force, there was one muir
der for every 100000 of the inhab-
itants, as against one murder for every
100000 in the four preceding years.

JOSEPH II. CflOATE'S NEW AND HARD JOB

legation is that when the thermometer
was 10 degrees below zero, before the
Ncstles were out of bed, Mrs. Marsunek
came into the back yard from her own
and dashed water against the kitchen
door. The water froze. A number of
buckets of water are alleged to have
been poured on the door until a coat
ing of ice froze the door tight shut.
The same thing was done to the front
door, the water having been carried
out through the alley way. When the
Nestles wanted to get into their back
yard it was impossible to open the
kitchen door. Then the butcher came,
and they could not get out the front
door. A Ratchet was passed out the
front window and the ice was chopped
away. The kitchen door was opened
in the same way.
