Tbe Loudou Echo of No'vember 8
publishes the following extraordinary
revelations: .. . ' '-:
A venerable old man is now per
ambulatiiier Iieyrent titreet and its'
vicinity soliciting those ready alms
whieh an enlightened "English public
is ever disposed to drop into the ex
tended palm of age and indigence.
The features of this interesting men
dicant have probably, been somewhat
altered during the forty years -wbieh
has elapsed since he adorned a public
3tation ins the dock at Ediriburg, oi
he must have been' more generally
recognized by the thousands who
have beheld his effigy at Mdine, Tus
saud's. In that famous Chamber .of
Horrors, vvhich has been so wickedly
called England's "Walhallaj and which
certainly iiolda out the most formida
ble threat of earthly immortality Avith
which w;e are acquainted,- there stand
in an olsc'zre corner two mean little
i'Tvarfish iiguxes, represented as if in
cagerjioasultation. , The .visitor, on
turning tabis catalogue, finds that
thev arc iresDectivelv the likenesses
of the notorious. Burke afld Hare r
the former of whom wa3 banged " at
Edinburgh on the 2$lk of January,
182. If the visitor be not -old en
ouarh to remember the public, excite
ment of that distant v period, wben
even' single murders were rarities
arid the slaughtering of 'Pantin and
Horner undreamed, of or should we
Bay unreported? he w ill farther read
uu in uiiujj.iiiii' iteoiile IJr Ihe1 suke
of selling their bodies for dissection.
Burke's crime was thendeenied so
portentious that he had .the' honor of
actually adding a word to the English
language, and the verb, to burke,"
even yet survives as a convenient
metaphor applicable to. violently sup
pressed projects', as the guillotine re
cords for all generations thev bene
volent invention of 1 the abbe"
whose f name "' it " bears. Such
was the' fate . of. Burke him
self 'burked" by the .Calcraft of the
period, but made immortal in . wax
work and in slang.. But what' of
Hare? His, penalty, it. seems, must
have been more like that of the "Wanf
dering Jew ; foi ' as vrex have said,
there he is to this day," begging in
Regent street ;-. .
Another Re'voit of, a Coolix Shi?.'
A Havanua letter to the- New York
World gives an account of the arrival
at that place," recently, of the French
bark Tamariswith sixty-eight ooolie&
on board, out of 300 originally shipped
at Macao, on the 5 th of February Last.
Tien the vessel was within 270 miles
of Java, the coolies revolted and kilJed
the captain, (Rahnie,) whereupon the
crew took to the boats and succeeded
in reaching Java. A Dutch , war ves
sel was dent ou and after a thirty
days cruise overtook and recaptured
the Taniaris. The coolies, finding
they were really to be taken to Cuba,
became desperate, and. jumped over
board at every opportumtyv and some
even starved themselves to death.
Of the original number, fiftv-five per
ished in the mutiny and "in resisting
the Dutch war vessel, and 1 1 7 coai-
milted-' suicide, .leaving only sixtv-
eight on board - when the vessel ar
rived at Havana. ..
Suixa a VioBLASCe: Coimittke. Two
men in Kentucky who w ere . hanged
by a vigilanca committee, but upon
whom the work was not done very
effectu&lly, have come to life and .are
suing a dozen members of the 'com
mittee for sixty thousand dpUors dam
ages. This ii a very, unusual cause:
Vigilancvi committee is now a com
uaon name for a. sort of organization
that commits murder and does other
violence in the name of law and order-,
but of course the murder and violence
must be the same. before the law,
whatever name3 they are done in, so
that" if the! half -hanged . litigants get
a verdict in their favor there will be
clear ca96 for the criminal
the vigilante ' ;
against
. Tho' Nation accounts, for Horace
Greeley's defeat upon the supposi
tion that the New York farmers had
not yet forgiven him for signing t Jef
ferson Davis bail bond. Is it possi
ble that the New York iarnjera are
not yet aware of the war being over;
or have they been left' by it in such a
blood-thirsty condition that they can
not forgive any act bearing the
slightest resemblance i to generosity ?
In either event, it would appear that
the school-master and poi deal leader,
is more needed at home, than he is
down South. ,
