TWO RUNAWAY BOYS RETURNED TO THEIR PAR- ENTS IN NEWARK. ‘Two boys entered police headquarters yester- day afternoon with a note from Mr. H. M. Clarke, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.,which they presented to Sanitary Officer Frank. The boys gave their names as Jno. Murray, aged twelve years, and Frank Bergman, d thirteen years. They stated that they were from Tren- ton, N.J., where their parents reside. Accord- ing to their story they left home Monday night with a soldier, who told them that he was coming kere to see the inauguration. They got on a train between the bi fe car and tender, and rode until put off by the con- ductor. Then they waited for another train and were put off, and so they kept on_until they arrived here Tuesday evening. Tuesday night they slept in an areaway in the rear of the Corcoran building, and yesterday they found their way to the Y. M. C. A. room: where they were given a bath and someth: to eat. When asked whether they had ever been flogged or not, Bergman answered in the affirmative, and adde was tied to a bench and nearly killed by my mother and father for playing hooky from school.” It was suggested that that was a sample of “Jersey justice.” Sanitary Officer Frank sent them home.

The principal feature of A bold assault and robbery was committed last night about 11 o'clock near the corner of 3a and P streets northwest. Dr. William R. Naylor, of No, 456 M street, was the victim of highwaymen. He was taken so completely by | over surprise and was so badly handled that he is | referred unable to tell whether his assailants were white or colored. The place where the assault and robbery occurred is a lonely spot, poorly lighted, making it dangerous for pedestrians afterdark. Last night the doctor was called out to see a patient. It was rather late to get out his horse and buggy, and the patient living only a few squares from the doctor's office, he walked to the house, It was n 11 o'clock when the physician passed corner Q streets. He walked along street, assisted y his crutches, When he reached a point nearly half way be- tween P and Q streets he heard footsteps behind him and turned to see who it was, when he was nearly blinded with a handful of red Pep~ Which one of the highwaymen threw in eyes. At the same time the doctor received # severe blow on the head. Then he was seized by two or three men, who made an effort to relieve him of what valuables he had in his —. When the doctor made an outcry he robbers fled, but not before they had taken $356 from his pocket. He held on to his watch so tightly that he prevented his assnil- ants from getting it. A citizen soon came to his assistance, and then the doctor went with Policeman Frammell to the second precinct station and gave a description of the stolen money. As the color of the robbers is not known, it is doubtful whether the officers will be able to capture ther Grand and Petit Jurors.

Richmond, who has appeared in the Chicago police court several times within the past few weeks, charged with dis- orderly conduct, was up again Wednesday morning, and was sentenced to the Bridewell. She claimed to have held positions under the government in various departments at Wash- ington, secured through the influence of the late Secretary Folger, Speaker Carlisle, and other prominent men; that she was persecuted here and driven away, and that she had then been a member of two or three theatrical companies, her last engagement being with Fanny Davenport. It was also alleged that she the occasion of column after column of gossip in the Washington papers some timo ago. en sentenced to the workhouse Wed- nesday morning, after a protracted effort to get her to put on sufficient clothes to make a jecent appearance in court, she declared that she would commit suicide rather than go to the Bridewell.

She was ar- rested here a number of times and was sent to the workhouse, where she spent a number of days.

From the Boston Advertiser, The habit which the society lady has of doting on her pet terrier, for all it has been held up to ridicule ‘time out of mind,” as our English friends, Dickens and Thackeray, were fond of saying, remains as much a universal “point” in society life as ever;and the strangest part of the matter is that no one ever has met a lady afflicted with this fondness for the small and helpless-looking canine who seemed to realize that a good part of the world regards her mania as ludicrous. There is a very rich Boston Indy who has a beautiful daughter of about sixteen summers—and a terrier. Only in the most cas- ual manner is the lady known to «efer to the daughter, who, however, although she has sel- dom the pleasure of the maternal companion- ship is looked after with assiduous care by a servant and sent nightly tobed at an early hour, that, when the season of her début arrives, she may astonish the world by her freshness and beuuty. The lady undoubtedly cherishes pride for her daughter, but it is the terrier who is her inseperable companion. “I do not know what I should do without her. She is such a was _over- heard at a reception the other evening.

From the Canadian Law Times. In 483 A.D. the Emperor Zeno issued the following edict to the pretorian prefect of Constantinople (Code iv., 59.): “We command that no one may presume to exercise a monopoly of any kind of clothing, or of fish, or of any other thing serving for food, or for any other use, whatever its nature may be, either of his own authority, or under a re- script of an emperor already procured, or that may hereafter be procured, or under an im- perial decree, or under a ‘reseript signed by our majesty; nor may any persons combine or ‘ce in unlawful meetings that different kinds of merchandise may not be sold at a less price than they may have agreed upon among them- selves. Workmen and contractors for build- ings and all who practice other professions, and contractors for baths are entirely pro- hibited from agreeing together that no one may complete a work contracted for by another, or that a person may prevent one who has con- tracted for a work from finishing it; full lib- erty is given to any one to finish a work begun and abandoned by another, without apprehen- sion of loss, and to denounce all acts of this kind without fear and without cost. And if any one shall presume to practice a monopoly, let his property be forfeited and himself con- demned to perpetual exile. And in regard to the principals of other professions, if they shall venture in the future to fix a price upon their merchandise, and to bind themselves by agreements not to sell at a lower price, let them be condemned to pay 40 pounds of gold. Your court shall be condemned to pay 50 pounds of gold if it shall happen fough avarice, negligence, or any other misconduct, the provisions of this salutary constitution for the prohibition of monopolies and agreements among the different bodies of merchants shall not be carried into effect. ee Decollette Dresses. A DIVINE IS VERY SEVERE UPON THEIR WEARERS, Rev. Howard Crosby. To my mind there is very little difference be- tween a poor, uneducated African woman, with absolutely no perceptions of right and wrong, appearing stark naked and a Christian woman of the nineteenth century exposing her breast. Nowadays men often frequent drawing-rooms for the same reason that they frequent the theater. here they meet women, their social peers, it is true, dressed, or rather undressed, in evening costume, and find food for their imagination precisely as they do when they attend a ballet or a spectacle. Then comes the talk of the clubs. The bust, the formation of the arms, and the more or less voluptuous curves of the figure, all furnish themes for subsequent comment.’ The points of a new debutante are estimated by these men daring drawing-room conversations, with all the care and skill exhibited by an expert in horseflesh, where the merits of a horse are under consideration. And the observations carried away from these drawing-rooms are made afterward the subject of club gossip, and form the basis of comparison when the excel- a of rival beauties happen to be men- jioned., Se eet Horseflesh as Food. NO REASONABLE FOUNDATION FOR THE PREJUDICE EXISTING AGAINST EQUINE BEEF. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. ‘There is undoubtedly a widespread prejudice, especially among English-speaking people, against the use of horseflesh for food; but this prejudice has no reasonable foundation and is by no means universal. Nations of such widely- different degrees of civilization as the French and the Tartars have long attested its merits and set the example of eating it. A Tartar or a Turcoman of Central Asia will not look at any other food if he can get horse, and the heartiness with which he consumes his favorite meat is borne witness to by travelers in descrip- tion which challenge credulity, The methods of cookery in vogue among the Central Asian nomads would not, of course, commend themselves to western appetites, nor is it claimed that Tartar taste is a standard for all nations to adopt. But the French have established the laws of cookery by which all ervilized people are governed, and their practi- cal indorsement of horseflesh as food carries weight. It the Philadelphian experiment es- tablishes that a twenty-year-old horse is better than a beef, it is a pity that old horses that are past their work should not be eaten.
