THE BLUE DIAMOND.

In TACT the whole number Of deaths acted upon by the Coroners during
the year, making a total of 540S, showed an increase of only 1856, SO
that the increase in homicides was nearly half of it.
Students of the subject attribute the growing evil mainly to the
ease with which revolvers can be obtained and the frequency with
which they re carried by persons of homicidal tendencies. If these
conclusions can be justified there should be stricter regulations gov
erning the sale of such weapons.
In any case the statistics are startling. A record Of 1876 homi-
cdes in one year is too much like barbarhm to comport with the
reputation of a city that has the most intelligent people and finest
police force in the world.

As Miss Addams put it, the boys and girls Of the factories should
not be compelled to seek enjoyment after supper in dance halls and
other places where the surroundings are bad and temptations to vice
are incessant.
We make public provision for those that wish to read, or to look
At pictures, or to listen to lectures, or to work in gymnasiums, but
nothing is done for those whose limbs re supple and strong and who

He was Frustrated by the agonizing
pain, and though by sheer force Of
will he maintained outwardly a 0
derful mental composure and moral
courage, those about him believed
that they detected evidences that the
sufferers stout heart failed him for q
time.
Just at this time the mornings mail
one day brought him a letter from
Washington. With feeble hands, and
yet with somewhat eager eyes, he
opened the letter. It was found to
contain a United States treasury draft
for the amount OF the first months
payment under the act restoring him
to the army on the retired list as gem
eral with full pay. The amount was
approximately $1,000,
Summonlng his friend OF many

He Wanted TO Make vlce-Presldent
Fillmore a Member Of His Cabinet

Il have often wondered whether

president OF the United States an ex-
officio member OF his cabinet" said
Thurlow Weed. the great Wing lead
er. to me about two years before his
death, which occurred in 1882, when
he was chatting reminlscently OF Gen

other man, owed his election to the
presidency to Thurlow Weed.
For some reason the explanation
for which I never learned" continued
Mr.. Weed, Taylor conceived q great
liking for Vice-President Fillmore. 1
doubt whether the two men had ever

had an insinuating, almost cap

how TO use, especially when brought

Of Zachary Taylor. 1t may be that
Fillmore In that way had c~aptivated
old Rough and Ready having In
mind the desire to keep a good grip
upon such New York state patronage
as Taylor had to dispense.
Whether this surmise be correct OF
not, It is the fact that when General
Taylor was deciding upon his cabinet
a short time before HIS inauguration
he determined to invite Mr.. Fillmore
to become a member Of the cabinet
ex-o1icio.
HE spoke OF that determination to
one or two members Of his proposed
cabinet who were with him q day or
two before the Inauguration. He said
that In his opinion the vice-president
should be made thoroughly familiar
with administrative business, since
he might at any moment be called
