THE LASH FOR CRIMINALS,
‘Well, we’ll have them flogged, any
way 1’ Thattm the exclamation made
by the late’Cbief Justice Gilpin, of Del
aware, with a word or two of emphasis
that he was unfortunately now and then
'in the habit of using when especially
excited. The occasion was this: A
band of three or fonrl noted burglars
and bank robbers had come into Wil-
miogton, and just at evening had enter
ed thehouse of the cashier of the bank
of Delaware while be was seated with
’his’family at supper. At'the muzzle of
pistols ’fhey seized and secured the fam
ily, threatening-Iheir lives if they mov
ed or made outcry. They were about
to complete the work by having .part <of
their’number pass, by a communicating
door, into the bank, when they observ
ed a colored servant, who had conceded
himself under a table, rnshing out of
the door. They endeavored to -seize
her, but were too late. In a moment or
two she was on the street and giving the
alarm. There was nothing left for
them bat to make their own escape.
This they did, but were in a few hoars
captured and lodged in the city jail.
As fis'usual tin that little State, the'
course of justice was not<delayed. Their
tairl came ou rapidlyand their -convie
tion followed surely. They were sen
tenced to long terms of imprisonment,
to be preceded'by the receipt df a cer-‘
tain number of lashes on the bare back
at the hands of the Sheriff. ’'
Thef e villains were not of the coarse
sort They were well educated, genteel,
handsomely dressed,, and neatly-jeweled-
scoundrels, with .plenty pf money at
their disposal, and Influential friends tp
help them. They were not greatly ap
palled at the ioug term of imprison
ment; they knew well that- fen prisons
would be strong enough to hold them.
But the*flogging that- had been ordered
was simply and unutterably -dreadful ■
That must be avoided at all'hifsarfls.
The tactics usual ou such occ-.isious
were restated to, nndtitoir able lawyers
.it once made the necessary arrange
ments for a stay of proceedings. The
iiivsoouting-attorney, and old president
(T’TVilmrDgtdii.sgol'wiiHl'cff^t au9 'has- 1,
tily went to Judge Gilpin’s house and
informed him of the state of the case.
They both saw at. a glance what was in
tended—the avoidance, of the flogging.
Tlie nsual day for-the infliction of this
punishment is Friday or Saturday. It
was now Tuesday, and before the regula
tion day bad come the stay of proceed
ings wonld’hnve •been obtained. The
Judge—we have his small form, his keen-
eyenud forceful face befoie ns now—
exclaimed, ‘Well, we’ll have them flog
ged, any-wny; have that part of the pro
gramme carried out, tomorrow!’
Aud it was. ‘On Wednesday these
smooth handed, high-bred villians had 1,
their white backs bared to the sun, their
lately-jeweled bands manacled to the
whipping-post, and in Company with
lesser criminals were (flogged as the,
Judge.said (hoy should be flogged* ;
Now mark the sequel. In less than
three montlts—we are not sure but that
it was weeks—a steam-tug with a com
pany of men came at night from Phila
delphia to New-Gastlesand to the prison
where these men were confined, oyer-,
powered the keeper and set them free.
Free, but flogged 1 . The flogging was
all the punishment they had received
for their enormous crime. We eay ‘all,’
but we have a supreme satisfaction in
the thought that the part of the punish
ment most dreaded by them they did
not escape, while we hold in admiration
the memory of the stern and quick-wit
ted Judge who inflicted it.
The matter of flogging for crime has
been'xevived' dfifatetin • discussion, and
we give the above-to-illustrate'entl ‘help,
it forward. A residence of about twelve
years in Delaware, and a careful con-,
sideration of the whole subject during
them all, give ns some decided convic
tions—convictions Of the expediency,
propriety, lawfulness and hnmanity of
this biblical mode of punishment.
It is very rare that a criminal *is
stripped a second time, and we had oc
casion to notice this was the prominent
dread in the mind of oue about to be
convicted. A brief or even a long im-
prisonmant was as nothing to this.
It is asserted that certain classes of
criminals avoid Delaware.. A thief some
years ago. so I have been told, was
canght stealing-just over the Pennsyl
vania line. He was convicted and was
stripped at -N^w Castle, cursing his
Tuck’ and <pretesting that he did (not
know that ho-was iniDelaware-when the
crime«*»a»rcomcaitted- or-he vren2d >aot
have been ■‘there.
THE WAY THE ENGLISH -FIGHT
THE ZULUS.
The war in South Africa against 'the
miserable,-half starved unclad Kaffirs
and Dnshmen, By the British, appears
to be carried on with great barbarity,
as instanced in the following letter to
the Cape Town Argus, by a young vol
unteer with a tenderer care for humani
ty than his fellows:
Ud to the present we have 'had fit
pretty hard, and since I last wrote we
•have been ont on patroi. We started
from here (Koegas) on the mor-niig*of

place three and a half hoars’ distant.
We fell -in with the enemy cn the morn

that, or should know it, for •you ’know
thirt when you first cut ;, down forests
the land was *cuvered and rich with
vegetable matter that hail been decay

noticed, if you have any observation at
all, that as this vegetation disappeared,
the soil giew poorer, until you had to
turn the field out as fbo/p&ir for Cul

were on the Kopje when we received
word that the enemy were in the bush,
about 1,000 yards away, Capt. -
men then -being ‘Underneath us in the
flush. We then’had orders to cross the
river, and ’s men opened fire on
some of the Bnsnmen in the northern
parr*ef the bush, whom they found sit
ting down enjoying the stoien ox which
they had slaughtered. They Were
laughing and singing, seeming to be
very happy, when suddenly they re
ceived bullets to flavor the meat. They
then run through the bush, expecting to
reach the mountains on the opposite
side of the' river, but’-when they came
to the edge of the rhrer they saw 'Ver-
monlon’s men eppqaits. eq! .that
were completely hemmed in, and thus
perished forty-one.of them, and thirty-
four wo took prisoners. Six of onrmeu
got leave to cross, as we "were mnwions
to be in it, and we theu went—myself
being, one of the number—to the other

raised my gun, but the man said in
Dutch; ‘Please, master; don’t shoot me!’
I then saw that he -had already 'been
wounded, and would have been left to
die, bat as I was speaking to him, a gun
was put quite-close to-my ear-and fired.
The fellow gave oue spring and then
fell dead at my feet. On turuinground

said: ‘The must not live.’I was
glad to have it out of my hands, r.s I
did not wish to kill him after being
wounded. They theu drew-lots as to
who had to shoot the prisoners. I mean
to say that those who could not walk,
we had orders to shoot, and I am glad
to say that I was fortunate enough to

she had served for three "years. •He i
wished to help her. and bring her to

through the bush to see what they
could do as to-killing any of the wound

They shot this girl while she was bind

ENGLISH SPARROWS IN GEOR
GIA.
The Albany News says many people
in that city now curses the day that
the English sparrows were carried
there. The people of that section
fondly dreamed thaft the introduction
of the English sparrow-would help the
farmers,'by destroying the caterpillars.
The Board of Trade in Albany raised
a sum of money and forwarded it to
New York and had brought out to Al
bany twenty pairs of the sparrows, and
an ordinance was passed by the City
Council protecting the sparrows. They
have multiplied until they- now num
ber thousands, and the people in , Alba
ny are becoming greatly, annoyed.
The sparrows will not leave the brick
walls of the city, and they destroy the
gardens. They are of no nure service

CIVILIZATION IN NEW YORK.
A nuttibewof (clesgomen held a con
vention at Utica, New Work,<on*Friday,
to consider what can be done to put’
down anti do away with the organiza
tion iu that State known as the ‘Oneida
Community.’ This concern is said to
number 2-10 persons, men and women,
who believe themselves to be ‘perfec
tionists’—that is, so thoroughly surren
dered to religion as to be tree from the
dominion of-sin, and worthy of rising
above the conventional laws by which
the morality-.of-seciety»is supposed fofle
regulated; hence -they have, like the an
gels of heaven, neither marriage nor
giving in marriage, -but Jive somewhat
in common. They are a sort of hus
bands and wives as-long as they choose
to be, and then they change off for oth
er partners. This arrangement, which
is not bf the'heavenly, bat rather of the
earthly order, naturally gives offense tor
fastidious moralists outside of the Com
munity; bat it is said that the people of
tlrerregion round about the establish
ment are inclined to take sides with
them against all opposition, finding
that their famiTiaiwl. ho neeh old products
axe always as good, aad ^generally bet
ter than represented when .offered . for
sale, and the members are famed for
strict integrity and perfect henesty.
They seek to make no proselytes, but to
live by themselves, in their own : way.
The founder of this singnlar people,
John Humphrey Noyes, was a graduate
ot Dartmouth College, and he is"smd~to
be a sincere and consistent man, strong-
about 4,000, and they speak Besides
the Spanish a 1. nguage which some of-
the rccently-broaght over Chinese ia-
berers understand, but there is no otfcer
similarity between the two people. They
intermarry nudes and nieces, brothers
and sisters, nephews and aunts, that is
promiscnonsly, and no apparent enrse
of consangninity, bat they will not per
mit and intermarriage into their num
ber.-or-wlth'the-outside' world. They!
have-laws, customs aBd’dress of their
own, -and live by flraifting hats and
•mats, =and weaving clothes. They will,
.give no acconnt of the place whence
they came, or-the time they settled at
Eten. History does not mention their
existance before the Spaniards amve.L,
Among them there are no sick or de-
formed.persous, their custom being to
send a committee to each or old person,
and those who are reported past recov
ery or past usefulness are promptly
strangled By "the pdblic -executioner.
Eten orders it, they siy, and with Et-
en’s orders there is no interference.
SUBSTITUTES FOR LIQUOR.
A curious "feature of the operation of
the no-Jicense law at-Norwich, -Conn., -isj
the substitution fly drinkers,. of other
stimulants in the place pf liquors. Per
haps the most natural substitute, of all
is Jamaica: ginger. This extract‘-has
aboat double the alcoholic strengijh of
whiskey, and as it is a medicine in, con
stant demand, and kept by all drug
gists,-it makes a very satisfactory sub
stitute for the habitual old toper who
is bound to get drunk on something.-
That it jisms?! iu this way to a consul
er.tble exti ut Is -shown Jrom the in
creased sales’ of the drng ns well as tbe-
cphfusjion of the user. One denier es
timates ibis sales 'df .Jamaica ginger
since the first of November -as dully'
three times as great as they were Be
fore; und another sells perhaps a third
more now than before that-data;'anoth
er lias noticed but a small finerease
—not over fivo per cent.; while a
a fourth estimates the calls upon him
as five times as large now as they were
up to November first. It is aLo said
that the sale of 'paregoric has slightly
increased in some cases.
President Bartlett selects one incident
from the Cheyenne mas acre, th eJutijun
of an aged Indian woman, as especially
disgraceful. “Tnis is a piece df army
gallantry,” he says, “that would be
greatly relieved by some adequate ex
planation. The seven hits on one per
son prove the ’victim to have been a
good mark near at hand. No doubt
her sixty years made-her slow of foot.
Her ‘squaw’s’ attire would fliave 'indica
ted the attack to be eminently safe.”
The. fact that she received seven bullets,'
makes president Bartlett ask: "Did
the same soldier bring down his victim
at the first fire, and then empty seven
other chambers upon her postrate
fiame, as he would crush a snake? Or
did skx comrades finish the manly
work? Or did the wholeseven overtake
her as she halted-along or -hid herself
behind some place of shelter,.andjoint-
ly slay her in cold blood?”

For once in her life Cuba has a Cap-'
tain General of whom she ought to be
proud. It is said that Martinez Cam
pos, so far from striving to enrich him
self at the expense of the Cubans, has
done all within his power to assist them
in restoring the prosperity of the coun
try, so!long desolated by war, and that
on the King’s Saint Day, the 23d ult.,
he distributed §400,000 among different
•charitable societies. About this last
named;act there was one beauty that is
rarely found adorning the benevolent
deeds of the rulers of that political lat
itude. In giving to cliarity-so large a
sum. of money, he puts his hands, not
into the people’s pocket, but into his
own. The Queen of the Antilles has
seldom had a ruler constructed upon
the model of Capta ; n General Mar
