Crime aa a Business.
A working- clonrvman who bad iuo-
ceeded in seoutitift the oonSdenca of
the criminal fraternity by visiting
their lick, and lomotimei kneeling by
tho bedaide of tho dying thiof, hai
contributed to one of tho London mag.
szinoi in interesting account of the
way in which tbo thieves live and
movo in that rathor exclusive social
circle known &s tho "Thieve' Quar
ter." Wo litllo know how com plot
ia the organization and how effective
the mutuality of feeling and interest
existing among the mcinben of the
predatory class. Both in business
and social arrangements this organiz
ation is aa thorough and efficient ai
any that binds toeellicr tbo member
ship of any other class of workers
mis consolidation 01 individual inter,
esti for the protection and advantage
of tho entire body is all the more
dangerous to tho community, inas
much aa its purpose is to strengthen
the vory class which most needs wsuk
ening,and to unite forgrcatoroSicioncy
those elements of mischiof which, dan
gerous as they are when insulted, be
come torribly potent for evil when
concentrated into a tort of syndicate
01 acounarensm. uy sucb means luey
are able to aid, oounsel, abet, and com
fort one another; and, in point of
met, tne agreoabie and beneQcial feat
ures of association are aa desirable
and welcome to the hunted outlaws
these social Ishmtelites as to any
other elasi in the community.
The reverend observer referred to
expresses tho surprise bo felt on dis
covering the thoroughness of orean-
izatioo and the truly fraternal relations
existing amoiig these moral exilci.
Seleoting some particular quartor for
meir residence, they proceed to colo
nize in that locality, and it is no un
common thing for three or four con
tignoui streets to be wholly tenanted
by them. And to property owneri
whose conscience and dignity are not
ruffled in receiving even stolen money
for rent, so long aa tbo amount paid is
liberal, such tonanls as these are rath
er than else desirable ; fur the thieves,
in order to bo together, will pay die
proportionate prices for accommoda
tions, and meet their engagements
with all the honor traditionally ap
pertaining to the guild. But, high a
may bo the prices they pay lor the
premises thus occupied, it does not
follow that, beyond tho advantages of
vicinage ana association, inoy get
much for their money. Tbey aro
willing to pay liberally for tbo privi
lege of being near each other, and,
this secured, such details ai comfort.
cleanliness, light and air are stoically
loft out of tho account. Tho aspect
of tbo thieves' quartor in any large
city is generally low and dingy, but
it has an atmosphere of peace and
quietness, and tho inmates are much
more ordorly than one would suppose,
simply because it does not pay to at
tract attention by brawls and noisy
eontontions. Sileooe gives consent to
their oolonles to exist, while noiio and

the principle of a division of labor is
brought to bear in depredating upon
tbo public If it wore not so, lbs very
existence of crime, on its prosont scale,
oould not bo kept up a month.
-The various ro(cj are distributed
carefully among the members of tbe
fraternity acoording to tbo peculiar
aptitude of each. There are cool, cal
culating, long-headed fellows, who do
tho planning and furnish tbe specifi
cations, another class of mind devotes
itsolf to investigating the featuros of
mo plan, getting all the necessary facts
and weighing the probabilities of suc
cess and profit; still others, who have
too gift ot being ablo to travel upon
their shape and do the gen tool, act as
spies and flfaitf couriers by visiting
me seioctea premiees or examining its
neighborhood In tbe guise of would-be
tenants. To some tbo foundation and
construction of ovory new builiiinz
deiignod for financial purposes be
comes matter of careful study, and
weaic spots aro noted, tho situations
of vaults and safes rocorded, and simi
lar items dotted down with reference
to possible operations in tbs future;
and after all these have done thoir
sapping, and mining, and planning,
and pioneering, come tho rough-and-ready
follows, with their tools, and
ladders, and nerve, to go ahead and
do tbo work thus carefully cutout for
them. Here, certainly, is organiza
tion, business system, division of labor
and so forth, with a vengeance I Nor
is this all. The organization has its
seminaries of learning, its touchers
and trainers of neophyte thioves, burg
lars, pickpockots, and what not; it
must Lave its skilled and trusted tool
makers, for whom, of courso, a wide
field of employment is open, and
whose mechanical dexterity must be
of no mean ordor. Moreover, necessi
ty exists for conveniently locatod pre
mises where plunder tuny be tempor
arily or permanently concealed pend
ing its distribution In dividonds or its
sale, or its meUroorphoiii and trans
formation into something safely unlike
the thing stolon ; others, whero coun
terfeiting, forgery, rendovousing, etc.,
can bo secretly carried on ; others,
where vehicles can be liirod or kept
for the traiibfor of tbe active opera
tors and their booty from place to
place. Tho organization, to use the
language of an impassioned writer,
"has its own placos of congregation
and indulgence whorein to expend its
ill-cotton gains, to boast of its exploits
to sympathizing listonors, to loll of
the dangers it has encountered and
the hsirbrcadtb escapes it has achiev
ed ; whoroin also to communicate in
formation, concert plans and form
confederacies for future operations, of
all 01 which amnio evidence may be
gathered from the reported daily pro
ceedings of tbe several police courts
of ths metropolis." .
From all this it seems reasonably
clear that tho criminal class In any
largo city, sucn as Ionaon or new
York, numbering as thoy do thous
ands in the sggregste, are constantly
ongngodin feloniousopcrations against
property and social place under tbe aus
pices of an organized system, amount
ing almost to inochanism, which In
volves concurrent action based on skil
ful plans and governed by carefully,
devisod rules and ordorly regulations.
And it has occurcd to some ol ths ob
servers of this orgunizod conspiracy
against law and socioty, that, a ft or
all, tho whole mechanism pivots on a
single pin, the withdrawal of which
would cause tho whole machine to
drop to pieces, and, of course, stop
working. This essetial pivot is tho
ospital virtually supplied for facilitat
ing felony by properly owners who
permit, for pay, thoir promises to be
occupied and used by these organized
outlawa in carrying on their immense
business. These aro the real culprits,
for they furnish the means by which
roguery lives and thrives. If every
nouso thus rented or occupied lor pur
poses connected with this vast net
work of crimo could be dispossessed
of its tenantry, and no new quarters
were loft open for such occupancy,
orime, as a systematized, organized
business, would colwpso like a soap
hnbble. yeral plai'! have toon suggested
for tl.. adorn 01 moAf w me go-
sired ond. That tbe kouCJ owners, ,
who aro at onco tbs main stays 01
crimo and prominently accessory to
its commission, should in some way
be mulolod, seems only just ; for why
should thoy be allowod to loud upon
us all this burdon and pockol a share
of the thieves' booty bosidvs, without
some sort of public protest f As tho
matter now stands, socioty is paying
premium upon criminality by the
impunity and evon protection given
to the principal morabor, or, so to
spoak, ths special partner, in all this
orime. llow does such a person, who
willinirlv sbeltors thieves, differ mor
ally from a professional receiver of
stolen goods, ana wny euouid society

f' The Recent Census.
My mind has been strangoly drawn
of late to tbo subject of statistics. I
sippose the recent census has had
something to do with it Thoro are
ertain friends of mino who take a
singular delight in that census. They
pore over it ss r child pores over Gul
liver or books of African travel. They
come away from its pages with a glow
la their eyes and a flush upon their
cheeks and a wonderful story upon
tboir lips. "According to thf recent
census, It appears that in Ithode Isl
and alono the number of adult males,
of Portuguese descent, who died from
spinal meningitis during the first half
Of ths last decade, was just twice the
amber ot Cashmere goata imported
during the succeeding fly years by
tho entire State of New York." Tbey
not only ssy it, but (if I am in a hur
ry to go anywhero) they prove it by
figures, and they write communica
tions to the' newspapers, consisting
mainly of tables atd maps, in ordor
to promulgate ideas like that.
While 1 acknowledge that there is
a sphere in wbioh statistics are useful

Tbe number of periodicals that have
bocn started on statistics in the Uni
ted Slstcs and have miserably per
ished of them is lamontablo. A cor
rected list would make an interesting
chapter in our next census. A young
friond of my own started one of those
pnpors. lie took a shoot of foolscap
and two or throe lead-pencils, and tho
then recent consus, and began in this
fashion : Here is a community with a
population of so many thousands; 1
may calculate, on general principles,
that at least twenty persons in ovory
thousand will take the paper tbo first
year which gives a handsome pay
ing circulation to begin with. Then
so many columns of advertisements
will come to so much pur week, and
pretty nearly all of this may be put
down to account of profits. So tbe
second year will open with an increase
of, say to bo moderate one third in
circulation and tho sama in advertise
ments.
I tried to wenu him away from his
populations anl his confounded sums
in arithmetic. But it was of no use.
Ho went around town for about three
weeks in a hoclio condition with bis
pockets full of load-pencils and little
note books, containing all sorts of de
ceitful calculations, based on the re

A Frenoh Incident.
Tbo Fiaaro anrovos of a reward of
ono hundred dollars offored in its col
umns for the rot urn of five hundred,
recalls an incident which occurod a
few years ago. A merchant, having
lost a large sum, offered a reward of
ono hundred dollars, bnt with Tory
slender expectation! of regaining his
money, much to nissuprise, however
a man came to him a few days after,
to announce thai lie had found his
pocket-book containing tho missing
seven notos of one thousand francs
eaoh. He forthwith proceeded to say
that, in returning tho money, ho had
only done his duty, and looked for no
reward, but that times had lately gone
so terribly hard with him that ho
would be grateful tor the hundred dol
lars as a loan, to be repaid so soon ss
fortune began to smilo. Tho worlhy
merchant, mcs!1 moved, protested that
tho protlwfd rvrrsrd wss not!:!n;j
more than a meet rocoinilion of Lis
conduct, and tbankod him warmly.
lJcforo leaving, tho rostorer ol the
purso begged him to seo that ths num
ber of tho notes was correct, snd they
were forthwith counted. When tbe
man loft, tbo merchant repaired to
mndumo's spnrtmcnt In groat gleo.
lie told his story of superlative hon
esty to an admiring circle, and thon
half mochanltally rooommencod his
examination of his treasures. Horri
ble to relate, a close examination
proved that, instead of being a thous
and ranrs each, they wero for that
number of fraci in other words, the
notes were forged, so that, bosidos tho
original loss, lbs moicbant was minus
the reward.

for bellows diminished, until tho busi

No matter how bumblo your room

stone is Brit polished, and then, what
ever design is required is drawn upon
it with a poncil made for tho purpose,
and which contains somo greasy mat
tor. Let as supposo that tho srtist

prints out tho words American Agri
culturist. The stono Is thon wetted,
and tbo wator sinks into tho poros
everywhere except tho place whero
the greasy ink formed tbo words -Ink,
or paint, is tboo applied to tho
whole stone with a roller just- as It Is
to types. This ink does not adhore
to tbs stone whoro it is wet, but to
the words drawn with the greasy pcn
cil tbe ink will stick. Thon a shoot of
paper is laid over tbo stone, and the
whole passed undora press; when tho
paper is lifted offit will be found to bsvo
taken np tbe ink left adhering to tho
words upon ths stono. This process
can be repnated over and over indef
tely by inking the stono and keeping
it wet. There must be as many stones
as there aro colors nnd tints in tho
pioture to be copied. Ono stone must
have all the red parts drawn on it,
another all tho bluo, another all the ,
brown parts of the picture, and so on.
Somotiuies one color is printed over'

that it is an immense work to prepare

each shall havo somo of tho picture
in just tho right place and color. It
takes three to six months to prepare
a set of stonos for ono picture, evon if
but one copy was to be printed. But
after tho stonos aro onco prepared,
copies can be transferred to other

they can go on and print as many

: Punctuality.
How often we have heard business
men censured for dilatorincs in keep
ing their engagements for the delivery
of goods, etc. Tailors, shocmukcrs,
milliners and dressmakers, scorn to re
ceive the lion's share of this consure ;
but it is by no menns confined to them,
being applicable, moro or loss, to par
tics engaged iu almost every branch
of trade.
Tho lack of punctuality is seeming
ly one of tho loant cxeusablo evils to
which humanity is addicted. Il is as
tonishing, ulUir all the exptrionccs to
which poople have beon subjected, and
iho annoyances which associations,
and oven whole communities, havo
suffered through the luck of this one
quality, which teems so necessary to
tho smooth running of tho machinery
of every -day lifo, that it should receive
so little attention in daily affairs. Its
value cannot bo estimated by a single
occurrence, or by one day's duration,
but by its constant recognition in tho
innumerable transaction of a lifciimo.
Every man is to somo extent dtv
pendont on his neighbor, lot his posi
tion in life bs what it may. It will
thus be seen how important it is
that his every engagement should bo
promptly mot, in order that tho ut
most confidence may be placed in ono
anotbrr. On tbe other hand, tbo fail
ure of, or delay in, the performance
of his doty in this respect, not only
possibly inflicts injury on those with
whom he doals, but also upon himsolf,
by indulgence in so pernicious a habit.
Punctuality ia or the utmoat im
portance to the success of every one,
and tbe only reason for tho luck of it
in some persons is a want of onergy
or earnestness. They make rah.
promises, without due consideration,
as to whether they can fulfill tlipra ;
Ibcir procrastinating spirit make
them late in everything they attempt
to do. Besides being a source of con
tinual annoyance, such persons soldom
rise to any eniinoco in lifo; we lose
confidence in them, and thus lbs re
verse of eminence is gen orally tho re
sult in their caso. This fact, logotbor
with the record of many distinguished
men who have attributed tbeir chief
success to the observance of punctu
ality, should be a caution to all to
make no promises or ongagemonts
which tboy have not at least a rca
sonablo prospect of fulfilling. By tho
observance of this suggestion they
will establish for themselves a reputa
tion that will bo at least pleasant and.
cannot but bo boncficial. Economitt
