Both of Them Htinlylnir Ijnw In Now York. * New York Mail and Express : "Both of Garliold's boys were up to sco me a day or two past1 said General Thomas I.James yesterday. "What kind of looking boys are they ? " "Splendid boys. They are both study ing law here with the linn of which Wayne MacVcagh is a member. " "Is there any coolness betwc.cn Mr. MacVoagh and the Garlields ? " "None whatever. Garlieldts boys have boon sent by their mother to Mr. Mac- Vcagh's care. 1 suppose thu oldest is about twenty-three ; the next may bo twenty-one. The daughter , Mollie , has grown up to bo a splendid woman. Then there are wo smaller boys. This , Jiin who was hero was the boy who wrote ' .T.J91 all over the Mentor new home stead. " "What do you mean by ' 320 ' You don't mean thu people that held together to vote for Grant ? " "Oh , no ; 1 mean the ' $329' Garficld's rnomios kept putting at him. Little Jim , from mischief or because ho thought it was a Dopulnr 'gag , ' scratched it all over his father's buildings. " "By the way , " said Mr. James , "let me toll you nn anecdote about Garlicld's power of memory. He related it to mo himself. It seems that when Decoration day was first started , bv the voluntary action of the people in Washington City , and before it becamu a legal celebration , Garlield was chosen to deliver the oration over the dead nt Arlington. It was to him an important occasion , for General Grant was to bo there and that galnxy of people who would rule events for some time to come. Gartiold was a good deal pressed by work in congress , and ho finally had to sit up most of the night to write ills speech out. Ilo got it done somewhere about 3 o'clock in the morn ing , nnd going to his wife's chamber ho woke her up and read her the manuscrint. It was his habit to communicate to her his performances and get her criticism. Af ter he read it ho went to bed and slept. The neil morning ho went over to Ar lington witli the procession and had the manuscript in his pocket. When ho arose to speak lie put it down before him , anil said to himself : ' 1 will watcli the oycs of Grant and these other people and see how long they are interested before I take my manuscript up. " So ho com menced and delivered his whole address without looking at that paper at all. There were short hand writers present , and when they wrote thotr notes out that afternoon they were sent to Garlield to bo revised. Ho was astonished himself to find that ho had delivered almost lit erally a transciipt of the manuscript ho had composed , and that in the few in stances where hu had departed from that mode ho had strengthened the expres sion , Thcro are many cheap cosmetics of fered for sale , which claim to contain nothing injurious to the skin.

This is what Boucicault wrote about himself not many years -ago : "I have earned very largo sums of money , but have reserved very little. My family nave had it , and there nro so many calls on one's sympathy. Besides , I do hope I shall die without more than enough to bury mo decently. It seems to mo much better to give one's property to one's heirs while you are alive and can see the enjoyment it produces. Why heap it up to bo wrangled for after you arc gone ! Post-mortem prudence rarely turns out rightly. Sufficient for this lifo nro the troubles thereof. Why undertake to arrange things after you are dead ? So 1 am accused ot extravagance toward my children and my brothers and nn uophows. Why so ? I don't want It. I am too old to enjoy it. I am too busy to find time to use it in display. Ah , no.

Haul of n Million A Sketch of 11U Cnrccr One of the Greatest llurulnra of ttio Ajc. ( James Hope.who has just boon brought jack to New Yorlc from San Francisco , .o bo tried for tlio great Manhattan bank : obbery , is the last one of the gang that MS not been tried. To summarize briefly the career of tins .hluf , who for years has been dreaded as none other in nil cities throughout the country whcro there was asatu worth the "cracking , " both as regards skill , bold ness and substantial success. Ho was a machinist In Philadelphia up to the ago of thirty , when ho blossomed into a bank burglar , bringing his great skill nt his trade to bear on his now profession with results that were profitable from the start , ftowomterl lie graduated on the paymaster's safe in the Quaker City lavy yard and cleaned it out. The same fall he got nabbed in the northern part of Sew York for cracking a bank at the town of I'crry. Ho spout two years mak ing himself familiar with the Auburn HI , and then one night left WITHOUT BIDINO TIIK JAILER GOOD-nYR. Next ho was hoard of in Wilmington , Delaware , where ho was captured with tils whole gaiigwhilo gagging the cashier of the First National bank preparatory Lo blowing up the safe. His mo from Lhat time on to 1878 was iuoutiticd witli the financial interests of the country in more than one eastern state in a manner not appreciated by bank dooositors. Those were the primitive days when the deft and gentlemanly cashier had not yet relieved the clumsy burglar of his task imt monopolized the bank-wrecking business , His return to Now York was signalized by the most sensational robbery that over look place in this or any other country. Every ouo knows the story of thoCRACKING CRACKING- TDK MANHATTAN BANK on that October Sunday , eight years ago , when the burglars , rided by one watch man and having the oilier securely bound and gagged , carried away nearly three million dollars' worth of bonds and se curities that never did thorn any good. Less than twenty thousand dollars was all Ihcy got for Ihreo years' scheming nml plotting that had been con founded time and time again by the finger of fate. Two dill'crcnl gangs had been formed lo rob Iho bank anil had been successively broken up by Iho arrest of ono or more members for other crimes. With the police at his heels , though on a wrong scent , all this time , old man Hope stuck to his self-appointed task. Ho was a regular patron of the bank and knew every inch , every rivet in tlic big safo. Ho even trained access to it ono night and , single-handed , tried the lock. Ho is to-day the ono man in the world , so the police thiutr.who knows where the stolen bonds are. They were mostly government papers , and Uncle Sam replaced them with others. Never theless the being about of A COUl'Li : OF MILLION DOLLARS1 WORTH of genuine , uncancelcd yet fraudulent treasury bonds , with the chances of their turning up suduonly.no ono knows where , is not nice , and their surrender will doubtless count for a couple of years on old man Hope's sentence when ho comes to answer for his share In that job. It is believed by some that they arc some where ui ) the Hudson , buried in the river bank , where they may lie till doomsday without the lonely traveler dreaming of the hidden wcaltii under his feet. JIMMY IIOl'i : WHO PLANNED and directed the famous burglary , who hid the plumor } and whoo influence was felt oven within the halls of congress when the proposition to replace the stolen bonds was being debated , is the last of that bistorio trang to come "homo. " Out of the Manhattan bank robbery grow Inspector Byrnes and New York's present detective system , that has made the business unprofitable to eastern cracksmen. The burglary was in Captain Byrnes1 precinct , and he made it the business of his life to run the gan" down. Shovlin , the dishonest watchman , turned state's evidence and disappeared after the trials. Nugent , the burglar-policeman , and Uanjo Fete are doing ten years In a Jersey prison ; Ed die boodle slipped up on a butcher cart robbery with a stake of $10,000 , and is doing twenty years ; ' 'Bill" Kelly i& just out of prison , and Johnny Hope , the old man's won , is still viunly proclaiming his innoccnso in Sing Sing prison under a twenty years' sentence. Abe Coakley keeps a saloon in New York. Father and son will atone for the monumental crime together behind prison walls to the end of the century. Neither would ever have been taken for a thief by a stranger. The writer re members the protest with which a well- meaning Methodist dominie , who had been led to young Johnny's cell in the Mercer street police station , emerged to denounce the 'outiage" of keeping the yoUng gentleman looked up on a charge SO AUSU11D AS THAT OP BURGLARY. Ho had so successfully soft-soaped the dominie In fifteen minutes' conversation that ; U ) Would have been ready to put him in as trotter1 of his Sunday school had he been able to pen Zftde the police to lot him out , and probably" joiif".7 } Hope would have given as good an ac count of himself in that position as some Sunday school officers. Neither he nor his father over descended to moan thiev ing. They would take all the risk of a bank burglary , but the till in the grocery would be safu from them. Some of the old esprit do corps that has become a tradition in our day with the much- vaunted honor among thieves kept them always on the upper levels of the profea sion. It was partly owing to the old man's skill. "Safo blowing" was not among h'.s tricks. While the common burglar would bo fooling with powder and fuse and waking up the neighbor hood , ho tore the strongest safe to pieces by mechanical contrivance and on scien tific principles. No barrier could resist , no combination bailie him. HIS COOLNESS WAS AS EXTRAORDINARY as his skill. Hunted by the police after the Manhattan job , and knowing that a hundred human ferrets were on his trail , the machinist turned watchmaker , so il is said , and disguised as an innocent me chanic repairing watches in a Harlem shop that counted among its customers more than ono policeman who went around with a description of the fugitive burglar revolving in his brain early and late. Il was not until the excitement over the bigburglary had simmered down and given place for a trcsh sensation in the Stewart grave robbery that Old Mac Hope traveled west like any other citizei who doesn't care two straws for the po lice. On the way he stopped to SEE HIS M'IFE AND DAUGHTER in Philadelphia , where his son Johnnj was also at that time , ana the reunited family spent a night of bitter recrimina tion together. 'Iho rest of the family , all except Johnny , had remained honest , and bitterly upbraided the father for the disgrace ho had brought upon them. Ye I no Judas was found among them to betray tray him. Father and son wont out free nt daybreak , the latter to fall into the hands of the police after a hand-to-band light with his canton * the father to find his way to the I'aoitlo coast and into jai ! , in Ban Francisco for trying to rob Sautbei & Co.'s bank of $000,000. Neither ever saw their 1'hitadclphin home again. WITH Tlir KLUKR IIOI'F.

" Lincoln on the Doi-lnrutlon or Inde pendence. In the installment of , the "Lincoln His tory , " published in the June Century , an account is clvon of the famous Jred Scott decision , with quotations from Lin coln's and Douglas' opinions on that de cision. .Lincoln incidentally referred to the Declaration of Independence in the following striking language : "I think the authors of that notable instrument intended to include all men ; but they did not intend to declare nil men equal in all respects. They did not mean to say all wore equal in color , size , intellect , moral development or social capacity. They defined with tolerable distinctness in what respects they did consider nil men created equal equal with 'certain inalienable rights , among which are life , liberty , and the pursuit of happiness. ' This they said , and this they meant. They did not mean to assert the obvious untruth that all were then actually enjoying that equality , nor yet Ihat they were about to confer it im mediately upon them. In fact they had no power to confer such a boon. They meant simply to declare the right , so that the enforcement of it might follow as fust as clrcumstsnces should permit. They meant to set up a standard maxim for frco society , which should bo familiar to all and revered oy all ; constantly looked to , constanlly labored for , and oven though never perfectly at tained , constantly approximated , and thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence and aug menting the happiness and value of life lo ail people of all colors everywhere. The assertion that 'all men are created equal" was of no practical use in ell'ocl- ing our separalion from Great Britain ; and it was placed in the declaration , not for that , but for future use. Its authors meant it to bo as , thank God , it is now proving itself , a stumbling-block to all those who in after times might seek to turn a free people back into the hateful paths of despotism. They know the pronencss of prosperity to breed tyrants and they meant when s'uch should reap pear in this fair land and commence their vocation , they should find left for them at least ono hard nut lo crack.

Peculiarities of Pickpockets. who makes a point of never working with a band of foreigners , although pos sessed of marvelously dexterous hands , is nevertheless too stiff and angular in his movomenls. Ho Is very prudent , makes n point of never stopping longer than ten minutes in the same crowd and rarely makes more than 6ne victim at the same place. He is a drnat walker , and utterly tires out the det&stivos who arc set to watch him. ( ' The Spanish pickpocket places his in dustry under the care of Jlho Virgin , and if caught , calls all Iho. paints lo witness his innocence , and ijiakes a great pre tense of piety and duvotion. His main fault lies in Iho fact thlit1 ho is always In lee great a hurry to examine the contents of the purse which ho has stolon. Thn German pickpocket is.1'as a rule , brutal and rough toward 'liis victim. The method which ho habitually affects is to stumble up against the victim , and his favorite hunting grotinds are the vesti bules of banks and other kinds of finan cial establishments , whcro no has had an opportunity of watching' ' people putting money into their pockets. Ho frequently tracKa his quarry to those peculiar little constructions of the Paris boulevards Which are known by the name of "Ves- pasionnos , " whore bo avails himself o ! the momentary disadvantage at which his victim Is placed. The Italian would bo the king of pick pockets if he had the pr.udcnco of the English. Ho is too apt to continue work ing on the same spot , otherwise ho might defy the most clever police known. His skill is equal to that of the finest sleight- of-hand , his manners are elegant ana his movements so gracetul and his courtosj so exquisite that he olovatoi his profes sion to a perfect art. It may bo of inter est to add that as a general rule the pick' pocket does not wear a glove on his right hand , and ordinarily carries an overcoat on bit loft arm. In winter o shawl or neck wrap takes the place of the overcoat. The body is more susceptible to benefit from Hood's Sarsaparilla now than at any other season. Therefore , take It now. * Toronto's experience with tho"olectrla light for street lighting Is far from satis factory. The light at the rales now paid , Is about two and a half times as expen sive as the gas II displaces Almost every American city has gonn through n simi lar experience. At New York , where the council was by some nioaiH , probably crooked , induced to pay 70 cents per light per night , the time for revision of the contract has come , and the same company is wlllinc lo supply Iho same llghl for S3 cents a night. On a per fectly fair competition the price in Tor onto should be reduced to the sanin fig- tiro. It appears also Ihat in New York companies have boon swindling the pub lic by supplying them with rtK ( ) or 700 candle power lights Instead of 2,000 candle - dlo power , as contracted for. Other coin- panics than these of Now York are guilty of this fraud. What to sro and how to see it. Go to Boston.
