Bome months ngo ProfeRsor Ember,
of the medical college nt Frame, up
plied to the Austrian ohiof of police at
Vienna for BHsistaueo in ferreting ant
nd bringing to justice tho moit mon
strous society of criminals that over
ex ited. Therpqnired support was ex
ten bat bim, i.nd the patient work of an
exp irienced doteotive, added to that of
tha profe8Bor himself, eve.ntrjnll j achiev
ed the desired end. The police made a
descent upon the headquarters of the
criminals, and their trial is pending in
the imperial courts.
The ntory whioh the acts elicited by
thfs trial tells us is worthy of a place in
Dante's "Inferno." The wildest dream
of a disteinp red nightmare neverpaiut
ed a picture so fraught with horror.
On the first day of the trial a howling
inob endeavored to tear the malefactors
Eieoemeil, and it was only found poss?
lo to continue the investigation by gar
risoning the courtroom with soldiers and
calling out two regiments of boraa to
protect the criminals on their way from
the court to their prison.
Rdna, the chiof city of ceutral Hun
gat y, is the scene of a continuous pil
grimage. The cathedral of the city
possesses as relics the bones of St. Ne
pomuck, and ' the yearly Bum of pious
visitors to their slirino numbers hun
dreds of thousands. As a natural con
sequence of this heavy forsign visit the
town swarms with beggars, who ore re-
Ent d to ba tho most miserable and
idooudy deformed in tho world. Men,
women and children, io. all degrees of
terrible mutilation, exhibit their crip
pled forms and appeal for charity, aud
the pilgrims believe that by honoring
the cler'ms they will command the pray
ers of the unfortunate mendicants, and
rarely refuse to gratify them.
Professor Ember, on hs return from
a geological tour in tho interior of the
empire, spent two days iu Kuclna during
the early part of last summer. A daily
visitor at his inn was a young girl of
sixteen, of remarkable beauty, who had
lost her right lo, and who usually took
her stand in the courtyard at early
morning, and remained there until late
in the afternoon soliciting charity. The
beauty and misfortune of tho poor crea
ture exoitod tho professor's sympathy,
aud he summoned her to his room. She
came, and was presented by him with a
liberal gratuity." She had, according to
ber own account., been a cripple from
her easiest childhood, and from her re
markable detexity iu the ue of her
single limb this assortion seemed a
likely ono.
During her recital of her own history
she mentioned a number of other un
fortunates like herself, and told the
professor that they lived together in a
house in the suburbs, kept by a blind
man named Oiopm Ttou'licson,
This pauper hostelry tho professor
visited that nigut, under the guidance
of his mutilated protege, and the dis
coveries he made there led to his appli
cation to the imperial poiice, and the
conw-quent trial to which we have al
luded. The tavern of the "Golden Omelette"
is situated close under the fortification,
walls of the city of ltadna. Its pro
prietor, Trouilleson, is a mau of gigau
tio stature, an old soldier of the Aus
trian army, who was blinded by the ex
plosion of a cannon while tiring a salute
from the forts at Trieste.
Returning to hi native city he
started the house of call for beggars,
which ho, up to a few weeks ago, di
rected and made money out of. The
house is a louo;, low, rambling struc
ture, a nondescript of brick, stone and
wood, and when descended on bv tho
EoHi!3. served es shelter for nearly two
undred men, women and children, all
of whom, with tho exception of per
haps a dozen, were professional beg
gars. Upon the urre3t of its host he
was discovered to bo worth in money
deposited in bank over 100,000 an
enormous fortuno for the couutry in
which he lived. How this money was
obtained is the crowning horror of the
entire affair.
Autoine Chergni le, nicknamed " The
Player," is the brother of Trouilleson's
mistress. Among tba frequenters of the
Golden Omolette ho ij called the
"Operatour." Ho i a men of over
fifty, aud for tho lust thirty yeais of bin
lifa has beeu engaged iu tli'i'ljuiiinQfes of
manufacturing cripples. Fi'oui the evi
donce givou a6 the trial, whioh is likely
to send him to the guillotine, his
method of procodura ij as follows :
The members of a gong of kidnapper.",
organized by hi sister and her sight
less paramour, havo fo. tho last twenty
years beeu -engaged in stealing children
from tho various ciiirs of tho empire.
These unfortunate little ones were
brought to tho headquarters at liadna,
where they passed into tho merciless
hands of the "Operataur."
He took charge of them in a separata
section of the km, whore, assisted by a
couple of surgeons, whose vices had re
dnoed them to his own li.vt l, and by h's
own knowledge of anatomy for ho had
studied the art itself ja Li youth he
evolved the terribly crippled specters
who have so long pesterd tho pilgrim
of St. Neporanck. At the time of his
arrest these children, iu various strgas
of convalescence from mutilation, were
found on the filthy cotj of this hospital.
One of them, a pretty girl of five, had
bad bar right hand amputated. The
other two, both boys, had lont their
Lauds aud ft, respectively. Iu a pit
tinder the fl )or, iu one comer of the
torture chamber, wore fonud the putre
fying remnants of a dozen human mem
bers, buried in a compost of chloride of
lime and quicklime. Cherguille mani
fested no emotion upou his arrest, but
utterly refused to render any informa
tion, aud has beeu obstinately silent
sine 3.
At the time the arrest was made the
business of tho infamous deu was iu full
blast. In the long common room one
hundred miserable wrecks of humanity,
armless, legless, Landless, fo Mess, blind
and awfully disagured, congregated
about long tables. The smoke of their
pipes vailed the scene, the reek of their
foul meal tainted the air, and the clat
tering of their crut.'hea, the curses,
shrieks and loud conversation ali about,
deafened the ordinary ear. Upon the
entrance of the detectives they mere'y
looked up, aud, noting the artfully dis
guised figures, took them for some
strange beggars and continued their
orgii without, honoring them with any
further attsntjou. The house Lad been
surrounded by a double cordon of police,
and at au appointed signal the descent
was made. The result was .that all the
frequenters of the place were seized,
with one exc3ption. This, singularly
enough, ws a in n without legs, who
Buuajei to oonceil himself in the callar
nd eventually made Lis escape.
The prisoners were at once loaded
into a speoial .train and conveyed to
Vienna. There the promise of pardon
iuduoed a number of them to a series of
poDfesaions.
The art of crippliDa children was, it
seems, not the only one praoticed by the
" Oueratenr." More than oneDoori v
nooent had been wilfully blinded by tb
ntrociou torturer, and at the trial three
such victims of his infamous abuse were
produced. The money gained by these
children wf s divided between Ghergmlle
and his sister and her paramour. The
unfortunate little ones were closely
watched, and no avenue of escape left
open to them.
That the circumstances of the case
were not altogether unknown to tho au
thorities nt lladna is patent from the
fact that tho mayor and two other offi
cials have beeu arrested (or accepting
bribes to hush the matter up.
The Sick Male.
Perhaps, says an exchange, the most
doleful spectaclo that can be presented
to the imagination is that of a man af
flicted with toothache. It certainly is a
most wearing and distressing pain ; (.till,
it has been endured at different t'mes
by almost every one. It is edifying t o
note that though, when any one else Las
been attacked with the same torment,
he has recommended instant recourse to
a dentist, and has derided any back
wardness in following bis advice as
cowardice, Le is, when his own time
comes, no more eager to plant himself
in the chair of doom than were bis des
pised fiiends, and is fertile in inventing
expedients for putting off the evil day,
if the pain abates, to a remote date. A
woman must be very near, indeed, akin
to an angel who, alter, her husband or
some other near male relative has for
years laughed to scorn her oomplaints of
agonizing neuralgia telling ber it " is
all fancy," "only nerves " (could it be
anything worse?), that she would never
Lavo it if she did not think about it, or if
she took more exercise, or if she did
something or other totally out of her
power to do does not, sorry as she may
be that he should suffer, feel a oertain
satisfaction when the enemy seizes upon
him and he is made to feel what she has
endured.
The absurdity of men's utterances
never seems to strike them even when
they gravely affirm that no one can pos
sibly gauge their sufferings from an or
dinary cold in the Load. There is no
offense so great as to try and persuado a
man that, disagreeablo as it may be, it
is but a temporary inconvenience, which,
in a very short space of time, will pass,
away, leaving not a trace behind ; he re
gards this simple exposition of fact as
most nnfeeling, and bemoans himself
plaintively tuafc no one cares whether he
is ill or not. He believes firmly that he
is a model of patience under suSeriug.
The women about hini will be wise if
they abstain from irritating him by any
rofutation of Lis preposterous fallacy.
It may be admitted that it is difficult for
them to hold their peace when they see
him deliberately making himself iil by
eating or drinking what he knows from
experience will disagree with him. It is
not easy to bo compassionate to the fit
of gout willfully brought on by drinking
sweet champagne, or to manifest deep
sympathy with a headache produced by
over indulgence in pickled salmon or lob
ster salad. But the victim will' never
allow that imprudence has anything to
do with the matter, and persists in re
garding himself as the martyr of cruel
fate.

Oil Yourself a Little.
Th"re is tine humor in tho following
story : Once upon a time there Jived an
old gentleman in a large house. He had
servants and everything Le wanted; yet
Le was not Luppy; aud when things did
not go as be wished he was very cross.
At last Lis servants left Lira. Quite out
of temper ho went to a neighbor with a
story of distress.
"It seems to mo," said the neighbor,
sagaciously, " 'twould be well for you
to oil yourself a little."
" To oil myself?"
" Yes; and I will explain. Some time
ago one of the doors in mv house creak
ed. Nobody, therefore, liked to go in
or out by it. One day I oiled its hinges,
and it has been constantly used by
evorybody ever since."
"Then yon think I am like the creak
ing door," cried the old gentleman.
" How do you want me to oil myself I"
"That's an easy matter," said the
neighbor. "Go Lome and engage a
servant, and when Le does right praise
Lim. If, on the contrary, Le does
something amiss do not be cross; oil
your voice and words with tbe oil of
love."
The old gentleman went Lome, and
no harsh or ngly words were ever heard
in the Louse afterward. Every family
should Lave a bottle of this precious oil,
for every family is liable to have a creak
ing hinge in the shape of a fretful dis
position, a cross temper, a hargh, to&e
or a fault finding spirit,
The Brooklyn Disaster.
Nearly all the clergymen of New
York and Brooklyn have preached ser
mons on the theater disaster. Be v.
Iienry Wsrd Beecher's discourse is thus
noted : Tho speaker began by saying
that the subject of the memorial Lad al
ready been well illustrated, and ho would
confine himself to the lessons suggested
by the occasion. He said : This is a
changeful life and a changeful world.
Every moment the sunlight breaks
afresh in some portion of the earth, and
it is' morning there. Every moment the
shadow creeps over auother portion, and
it is night. Aud so the lines of light
and shade chaie one another in constant
effort, but never come together. Men
are born to dio, and death is just as
natural as life. It is just an muoh the
duty of the earth to rid itself of its pop
ulation as it is to add thereto. There
is a plaoe for griof over this great loss in
the household aud in tbe hearts of all.
But this publio place is for honor to tho
dead, remembrance of their virtues and
lessons for the living. There is no good
for us to do thorn now. What to them
are these services of ours, they who
stand iu the eternity of their existence t
These are strange aotors on thin stage
to-day. It is a plaoe for amusement
rather than tragedy. Bach another was
filled a few eveniDgs ago with people
who sought to pass away an hour in
oaroless mirth. The actors strove to
win their pleasure, when suddenly tbe
gaunt form of a fiery demon trod before
their affrighted gaze. We know what
followed, and we have grioved over the
terrible calamity.
But already the fountains of our tsars
are dried or drying. Grief is for the
moment, joy for the hour and tho year.
We cannot by circumstance and demon
stration iong maintain a publio grief,
aud while it is fresh and tender lot ns
embody it fittingly. My heart Las no
blame for the ' proprietors or the build
ers of the theater that Las been de
stroyed. They erected it acoording to
the best knowledge they possessed at
the time, and put into it the best ma
terial they could. They were not know
ingly at fault, and it is for us to learn a
lesson from the disaster. My friends
epeak of what facilities for egress might
nave been and should have b"en. But
I tell you if you were to put 2,000 rren
in tho open prairie and create a panio
among them they will trample one an
other under foot. Yon might make
every window of a theater a door, loop
up the very walls themselves, tell the
people to fly from the scene of danger,
yet there will surely bo destruction.
Men nndei such circumstances are ani
mals, and you can no more reason with
them than yon can stop a rushing herd
of buffaloes by reading them the ten
commandments. In Bnch excitements
ell Euch excitements all human influ
ences are lost.
We can do much, but we cannot do
everything. There ought in, this calamity
to be a les3ou to every proprietor and
every architect in the laud. Whatever
improvements may be made to prevent
a recurrence of such disasters should
certainly be done. There it a great
charity also here to be performed. I
know how lavishly men give under first
impulses, and I say to you whatever you
are go?ng to do in the way of funds do it
quickly. These stricken mothers and
these groups of orphans have enough to
bear in their grief without suffering also
the pangs of want. Let ns help them
liberally in thoir arrcal sorrow. Lot iu
adopt them, not as paupers, but as our
brothers and our sisters. Of thoeo
here who have lost relatives or friends
in this disaster let 'me ask : Is there
anything you would havo corrected and
made right with them Lad you known
what was to befall them f The dead we
cannot reach, but here ore still the liv
ing among us. Nothing in our life is
certain aud regular. We are living in a
great camp, and when the bugle sounds
every mau .must be ready to go out.

A missionary of the Presbyterian

date of October 2G: On Saturday I
preached the funeral sermon of a young
man aged twenty-six, from Bedford
county, Pa. He had Just married and
left his young bride, to dig gold. He
died in a cabin without a window or a
stove. Two beds on pins upon the side
of the wall and the cooking utensils
were all the furniture. The sun was
fast sinking- behind tlm hill anA th
great pines threw long weird shadows f
across ine valley. The soene tho
manly but youthful dead face, and tho
poor young wife (who I was told was a
mere child), with the solemn stillness of
the wild, strong men occasionally heav
