que sea electo un procurador pa

en- vez del aprocionamiento por

La proposition merece ser consi-
derada con cuidado por la asam
blea Legislative y creemos que no
habra objection d ella 81 no trae
consigo aumento de gastos y eX-
travagancia. Sc debe tener en-
cuenta que en la mayor parte de
los condados no tendra mucho
trabajo ell procurador que les
corresponds y que en- los restan-
tes tendra mucho mas que tra-
bajar. Por esta razon, EN- caso
que Sc lleve q cabo la reforma es
precise apoIcionar los salarios
de conformidad con los deberes
impuestos Is cada incumbente y
no tratar de establecer salarios
de fantasia que impongan nue..
vas cargas sobre los contribu-
yentes. La reforma propuesta
debe suministrar una utilidad
duplicada que consista en- permi-
tir al pueblo de cada condado
nombrar su propio fiscal y hacer
reduction de los gastos que & la
fecha Sc incurren en- el pago de
los procuradores de distrito. En-
este Altimo consiste principal
mente la ventaja de cualquier re-
forma, pues concede nueyos pri-
vilegios y alivia las cargas que
pesan sobre ell pueblo. Sin estos
dos requisites la reforma es in1-
til y puede resultar periudicial.

Talking OF the persanal ~ln1Enalism
now In vogue, the author of IAN On
lockers Note Book" declares 1t to be
nothing new, and quotes this para
graph on the Duke of Wellington
which ~travesties the prevailing passion
for minute details with regard to the
private life Of distinguished individuals
at the beginning of the nineteenth cen
fury: 1.-THE duke generally rises at
about 8. Before he gets out of bed, he
commonly pulls off his nightcap; and
while he Is dressing, he sometimes
whistles a tune and occasionally damns
his valet. The duke uses warm water
In shaving, and lays ON a greater guam
tity of lather than ordinary men. While
shaving, he chiefly breathes through
his nose with a view, as Is conceived,
of keeping the suds out of his mouth.
The duke drinks tea for breakfast,
which he sweetens with white sugar
and corrects with cream. He eats toast
and butter, cold ham, beef or eggs; the
eggs are generally those of the com
mon domestic fowl. AT IL o'clock, If
the weather is fine, the dukes horse. is
brought to the door. The dukes horse
on these occasions Is always saddled
and bridled. The dukes daily III
of mounting his horse is the same that
1t was on the morning Of the glorious

A report Of the Commissioners of
T Prisons In England which was issued
recently pays particular attention to
the case of young offenders between
the ages of Is and 81. 1t Is said that
under the existing law there is ade-
quste provision for those of a more
tender age, excellent results having
been attained through the present In
dustrial and reformatory school sys-
ten. But every person above Is is an
adult for the purpose OF the criminal
law, and the classification leads to seri-
mistakes. Discussing the question
the report says: Figures have shown,
and the committee of 1894 have testi-
fed, that the age between 16 and q is
essentially the criminal age, and that
from criminals of this age the profess
SIGNAL CRIMINAL Of latsE ear Is gen.
Grated 1t is known also to students
of human nature that this age is a
particularly plastic age, and that the
habit which may lead to crime or vir-
tue cannot be said to be fully formed
before the age of 21." Starting with
these premises the report argues that
separate treatment is required for the
particular class of criminals referred
to. Their discipline should be different
from that of old offenders, and earnest
efforts should be made to reform them.
Aside from the special care which
should be given them In prison it Is
necessary that supervision should be
had over them after their discharge,
and that a sufficiently long period of
time should be prescribed during which
they would be made amenable to
healthy influences. The first of these
needs, 1t Is said, has been supplied "'by
The benevolent and philanthropic action
Of a body of gentlemen who have lately
formed themselves into an association
for the distinct purpose of dealing with
these cases on discharge" For the
other, action by Parliament is request
ed, SHOULD 1t become satisfied by the
result of the experiment that Is being
made hat the existing system of a sue
cession of short sentences for young
criminals Is ineffective and mischiev-
Gus, and that better results can be
obtained If power were given to the
courts to commit for long periods to
the care of the state young criminals
who are shown by their antecedents to
be graduating for a course of 'profes-
sional' crime"

srALKED ABOUT"

The neighbors talked about her nearly
everywhere they met;
They talked about her till she died; they
talk about her yet.
The high and low all spoke of her, AZ did
the old and young,
And every gossip tossed her-name npon
her nimble tongue.
Twas she who kissed the baby first and
blest It's happy birth;
Twas she who helped to guide Its feet
through all the paths of earth;
Twas she who watched beside the bed
whereon the dying lay,
Twas she who soothed the stricken
friends when one was called away.
The neighbors talked about her nearly
everywhere they met;
They talked about her till she died; they
talk about her yet.
They talked about her wondrous hands,
her heart so full of love,
And now the angels talk of her who
dwells with them above.

After having wriggled and turned
desperately In every direction, like a
strangled reptile, the hand, crushed
under my palms, lay quiet. I saw
nothing, heard nothing. not even a
breath. 1 knew however. that my
/ companion was on the alert, noting my
every movement. Suffocated by emo
ton and wearied by the tension on
my nerves, l waited for the daylight
for d~eliverance.
After q period of time, very short,
probably, but the length of which l
could not estimate, the train began to
move slowly. My relief at this was so
great that my whole being in%voluntari-
ly relaxed from its tension. This was
evidently expected, for the hand again
tried to free itself, not by violent jerks
this time, but by a strong, steady pull
ing. l felt it slipping along, little by
little, under the papers. l imprudently
raised my palm a bit to get a fresh
hold. When l. again bore down, l
clasped only my pocket-book. The
hand had escaped, l knew not when
nor how.
1 hastily opened the purse, felt that
its contents were there, then put it
into my vest pocket and stupidity cross
ed my arms ove 1t.
At last a gray light penetrated into
the compartment, followed by the
bright light of day. My. first glance
was at the lady. opposite. She sat in
exactly the same place, with the same
air of naughty Indifference. Nothing
about her toilet was disarranged In
the least. Not a fold of her dress SEEM
| ed to have been moved. The news
paper lay folded in her lap, the gold
handled umbrella leaned against the
.portiere, the patent-leather toe pro-
truded slightly below the hem of her
skirt.
She looked pale, however, and her
eyes were bent on her right hand, as
she slowly laced up her glove 1t truly
seemed as If l were waking from a
dream. And what proof could I offer
to the contrary. ie>~e
The train stopped and the platform
was On my side. The lady rose, drop
ping the paper from her lap, took her
umbrella, and with a perfectly COM
posed and polite Pardon me, SIR"
passed In front of me.
Feeling stupid and duped, / put out
my arm to detain her. But she was
already on the steps, and noticing my
gesture, she turned half round, and for
the first time l saw her eyes.
They were as blue as. the sky and
limpid and beautiful in expression.
They gazed at me with SO much sur
prise and candor that l was disarmed
completely, and l let her go unmolest-
ed. Had 1t not been for the rumpled,
torn papers on the seat beside me, l
might have. been tempted to believe
that the mute but fierce duel In the
dark was merely a hallucination or a
bad dream. - Translated from the
French for the Argonaut.

The virtue of plain speaking is not de-
sirable on all occasions, even when 1t Is
SO pleasantly received as in an incident
described in Queens of American Soci-
ety." What passes under the name of

in his case, only rudeness.
During the winter of 1885, when
Judge Samuel Chase was In Philadel-
phia, a Mr.. Bingham gave a great din
ner In his honor. The judge was placed
on Mrs. Bingham's right hand, and
coolly adjusted his spectacles to view
the superb repast, which, unfortunate
ly for him, had been prepared by a
French cook.
Having searched in vain for a ia
miliar dish, he turned to his hostess md
remarked, "a very pretty, dinner,
madam; but there is not a thin on your
table / can eat"
With her habitual presence of mind
and urbanity, Mrs. Bingham inquired
if she could procure anything more suit
able to his taste.
"A beefsteak or a piece of roast beef
madam" was the reply, will please me
better than anything else"
A. servant was called, and vAr4 ord
whispered in his ear, wherein he
vanished. Very soon he 'rea ed,

The Sabbath day was ending, IN a village
blythe sea,
The uttered benediction touched the PEG
pie tenderly;
And they rose to face. the sunset, in the
glowing lighted west, l..
end then hastened to their dwellings for
Gods blessed boon of rest.
But they looked across the waters, and a
storm was raging there;
A fierce spirit moved above them the
wild spirit of the air
And it dashed, and shook, and tore them,
till they Numbered, groanedA and
doomed,
And, alas! for any vessel in their yawn'
ing CULTS entombed.
Very anxious were the people, on that
rocky coast of Wales,
Lest the-dawns of coming morrows should
be telling awful tales. :
When the sea had spent its passion, and
should cast upon the shore )
Bits of wreck and swollen victims, las It
had done heretofore.
With the rough winds blowing round her,
a brave woman strained her eyes,
And she saw, along the pillows, a large
vessel fall and rise.
Oh! 1t did not need a prophet to tell what
the end must be,
For no ship could ride in safety nearl that
shore on such a sea.
Then the plying people hurried from
their homes and thronged the
beach
Oh! for power to cross the watersl and
the. perishing to reach!
Helpless hands were wrung for SORROW,
tender hearts grew cold with
dread,
And the ship, urged by the tempest, to
~ the fatal ro~ck-shore sped.
"She has parted in the middle! OH the
half of her goes down.
God have mercyl Is His heaven ftar to
seek for those who drown?"
Lol when next the white, shocked faces
looked with terror on the seal
Only one last clinging figure on a lspar
