A dispatch was received to-day from Holly

Is no more splended example Of humane con-

no more or grander instances OF individual
heroism and self-sacrifice than the people OF

All the evidence goes to show that

Simply this That in every form of
strangulation the blood. vessels of the
neck are compressed, as well as the air

returned from the head by the external
jugular veins, which are very near the

checked by slight pressure. Most soi
the blood from the brain ITSELF comes
back through the internal jugulars, which

Persons intending to commit murder will
do well not to act on the suggestions thrown
out to them by Mr.. Robson in his argu-
murderer. 1t is true he indicates q pro-
cedure by which they may kill their man or
woman and constantly avoid those awk-
ward relations with justice which are the
unpleasant feature Of this pastime: bur the
trouble with his plan is that it won't an
swer in court, or not in the courts as ordi-
narily constituted. II, to be sure, any one
will organize court with Robson on the
bench as Judge then strange things may
happen. Robeson holds that, according to
the right method, murder divides itself into
three stages. First, get yonr man near to
the State line; second, strike him while
there blow that shall leave him ten min
utes this side Of death; third, get him
into wheelbarrow and hurry him over the
State line, taking with you, OF course, good
assortment OF storatives-brandy, ammo
na or even hot bottle of old stone-
fence-to prevent his dying before you have
safely delivered him, G. o. d., in the other
State If it should prove very difficult to
get your man near to the State line don't
despise the county line. Robson recon-
mends it rs "a line that has some virtue in it,
bat has clearly thorough faith only in the
State line. BY this method the great law
yer, who was once bright ornament OF the
national government, assures the world
that the murderer need have no fear Of JUS
tice, because he has not committed the
crime of murder in the jurisdiction of any
known court For instance, the man dies
in Pennsylvania, and you are brought be-
fore a court in that state. You politely as
sure the judge that you never hit man in
that state in your life, and the mere fact
that man died there is of no consequence
to you. Thereupon, you may be handed
over to New Jersey judge, to whom you
admit that you hit man, but defy the
Judge to show that the man died in his jur-
isdiction. Such is Robesons plan but,
unfortunately Tor the fraternity Of murder
ers, the judges are not that kind in all the
States

While Bismarcks difficulties in German
politics lie mostly in his dealings with the
Reichstag or Imperial Parliament chosen
Federal Council representing the German
soyereigns being pliable to his will, the
difficulties OF Count Andrassy, Foreign
Minister of Austro-Hungary, are to be
found not merely in the popular legisla-
lures Of the Empire and Kingdom, but
in the Delegations, which answer most
closely to the Federal Council of Germany.
So careful were the founders of the Austro-
Hungarian federal constitution OF 1867 to
respect the national jealousies Of this
loosely jointed State that they left to the
Delegations, the only legislative body that
represents the whole Empire, the care alone
of Foreign Affairs and War. BY this re-
striction it falls out that since the Treaty of
Berlin entails charge upon the Empire
in the occupation of Bosnia and involves a
territorial change in the ann nexation OF Spizza,
the Finance Committee Of the Austrian
Delegation refuses to touch the question Of
supplementary credit until tho Austrian
L
Hungarian Delegations committee take the
same course the treaty would come up Tor
discussion in the Hungarian Parliament as
well, and it is gravely feared that if it should
it would stand good chance of being re-
jected. Andrassy, therefore, finds his
hands not merely tied for the moment, but
the position OF the Empire in European
politics sorely menaced. To be sure the
tull Austrian Delegation may overrule
the committees decision; but the Hun
garian Delegation cannot be so hopefully
regarded, and it has nm equal voice with
the Delegation Of Austria proper. The
Delegations consist Of sixty members each,
who are chosen by the national parliaments


twenty from the upper and forty from the
lower houses Of Austria and Hungary.
Two courses are open to Andrassy-e
to bow to the committees decision and as
semble the Austrian Parliament, or en-
deavor to carry his point in the
uni.ed Delegations How keenly he feels
the danger Of either course may be judged
from the imploring tone with which he has
besought the Finance Committee to leap
over the constitution, assume the doubtful
power and not push him into troubles
whereof no one could see the end They
are the troubles ofill-consldered ambition
the attempt to carry things in an autocratic
way in constitutional country. The diff
Guilty means possibly another nail in tine
coffin Of the Berlin bantling, and will cause
an exchange Of grins between Berlin and
st. Petersburg and lively apprehension in
London.

There is tide in the affairs Of some
favored kinds of men which, taken any
where between the turn and the flood, will
carry them forward into channels of IN
imagined prosperity and at last fairly toss
them up on meadows, not merely Of asphodel,
but where the very grass grows in golden
blades and the stones that are thrown at
stray dogs are hunks of gold-bearing quartz
worth five or six thousand dollars ton.
General Spinola is one of these lucky men.
He has on his hands, as the public knows,
o nobly imagined project for heating all the
people in the city by one fire, and this
projec. is so democratic in its essence that
it has naturally found favor with the City
Fathers. But the prejudices of capital and
some other prejudices were against it. Con.
sequently it has not made satisfactory
progress People didn't want the incon-
venience Of having the streets dug up for
laying the pipes to carry Spinola's
steam into everybody's house. and capitalists
didn't want to lend the money tor that
hefty enterprise in view Of the uncertainty
OF success Just here appears the lucky
star of the man, for at this stage Of the case
comes upon the scene n sort OF Prospero
with wanda person, in fact, by the
name of Edison. Edison invents the elcc-
trio light. Everybody's house is illumi-
mated with it, and the very city authorities
keep lightning on tap at all the street cor
ners That is what We shall see presently.
This wonderful success knocks the gas COM
panies higher than their own bills. No
body wants any gas-the companies go into
liquidation, are wound up and sold out.
And then there are their pipes under the
street already laid and handy and when
the companies are sold out Spinola will be
on hand and will bay the pipes. lie will
find bad smell in them, which he can
blow out and they may explode little
here and there if he puts on too much steam
suddenly but altogether they seem to open
a grand field for his enterprise

Not only to be poor herself, but to
see another woman enriched with her
fortune! This would be almost too
much for any good woman, and this
horrid state of the case haunted
her fancy day and night. Evidently she
asked herself frequently. "What are you
going to do about it?' and tue answer
always came that what was wanted was an
heir. But no heir came into that unhappy
family in the natural way, and SO Lady
Gooch was determined that an heir should
come in some other way. She formed the
purpose to obtain foundling and by simu-
lation OF all the circumstances impose it
upon her husband as his own child. He
detected her design almost as soon as it was
formed, and warned her against it but she
went on. She sought all about her for con-
federates and assistants in her scheme, but
the shocking amount of honesty that faced
her on every hand is simply startling.
Nobody would touch the plan. but every
body urged her against it, and her husband
was 50 well inform ad of all her steps that
the police almost assisted at the appearance
on the scene Of the putative infant. Indeed,
the infatuated woman went on with her con-
spiracy il tho open daylight ana this gave
her conduct the appearance of being in

We print communication from the
President of this road, in which he dis
claims any intention on the part of his
company ever to besiege Congress for q
subsidy, loan, or any form Of assistance
other than reasonable extension of the
time within which the road was to have
been completed according to the original
law. The ample grants of fertile land
on either side of the route are deemed
quite sufficient to enable the company to
raise oil the money it needs, and its only
prayer 10 Congress is that these lands may
not be resumed or confscated in conse-
quence of the delay and interruption caused
by the great panic of 1873. At the las.
session the Senate unanimously passed a
bill for extending the time, and when this
bill shall have become law the President
Of the road afirms that they will ask no
further favors Of Congress. They do not
regard this as o favor, but only as an act Of
Justice.

Without meeting more than the merest
semblance of armed opposition at the start
the British forces have made their way
through the belt of independent territory
between India and Afghanistan, and are now
about to invade the territory of the Ameer.
SO far as we can learn from the British
accounts, and these are our only source OF
information, there is nothing but demor-
allied soldiely running for their lives
between the red coats and Cabul. So abject
indeed is the plight of these fierce noun
tain warriors that they are said to have
been robbed by the hillmen Of what little
they were carving of. The British forces
are at Dakka, and the Afghan garrison Of
Jellalabad are said to be on the wing. JOY
in the British camp!

The British forces went that road gen.
Grafton since-why not their sons? In our
ignorance Of the Afghan plans we see no
reason to doubt that the British can go a
great deal further on their road without
smelling any more powder than they choose
to burn themselves. 1t has generally hap
pened IN such cases that the Afghans re-
tired on their own country, and if they have
capable commanders it is course they
might order with possible future advantage.
particularly if they reckon on support from
the north: But as we are only able to read
the future by glimpse Of the backs of the
Ameers soldiers it may be that they are
running away purely and simply and with
out any plan at all. In our anxiety to know
more on this subject we hope the British
will, without delay, overhaul these fellows
and find out what they mean. The British

Readers will find in to-day's HERALD the
outline, as unfolded in London police
court, of Lady Gooch's plot for keeping her
husbands estates in the family in case Of
her husbands death. Sir Francis Gooch,
the husband, on the death of his elder
brother inherited an estate of hundred
and twenty thousand dollars. If he should
die without heirs the estate would go to q
third brother, and, in case of his death,


would revert to the widow Of the elder
brother, from whom il came to Sir Francis.


As the younger brother of Sir Francis was
in feeble health, and as Sir Francis himself
was apparently not expected to make very
old bones, Lady Gooch was brought face to
face with horrible fact. This fuct was not
merely that she herself would be left un-
provided for, but that the fortune would
fall plump into the lep of Lady Eleanor,
who is clearly Lady Goochs pet aversion.

The discovery that unfortunate pauper

No person questions the truthfulness of the

The Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Children have perhaps shown more zeal
than wisdom in causing the arragnment OF
dance in the pretty ballet of .'The Butter
flies" at the Acadelny Of Music. They have
the law on their side, but it is q
law which would not have been enacted
had there been nothing more Objectionable
for it to prohibit than such an employment
Of children as puts Mr. Mapleson within its
letter, though not within its spirit. Mere
dancing in the evening is not INJURIOUS to
the health or the morals of young children.
There are many evening dancing schools in
the city which children attend, accom-
panied by their mothers, elder sisters or
nurses, and occasionally the progress
Of the pupils is exhibited to an invited
audience Of their friends. The ballet
at the Academy is quite as unobjectionable
on moral or sanitary grounds, but as it falls
within the interdict Of the law the zeal of
Mr.. Lundberg has been reused against it.
The law of 1876 is good one, and little
convenient blindness on the part of its
would have tended to preserve its pop
ularty. 1t prohibits dancing or gymnastic
performances on stage or in places
of public amusement by children under
sixteen years Of age, and was aimed against
places very different from the Academy Of
Music. But still the law is the law, and if
its friends render it unpopular by so strict
an enforcement it is perhaps lesser risk
than that Of maxim J it unpopular by raising
an outcry that only tho poor are punished
under it while fashion is exempted.
