To the Editor of the Examiner :
Srr,—I highl appreciate James McDonald’s letter in yesterday's issue, but in one respect he has fallen into a serious error, for he has by misquotation entirely ruined the beautiful pastoral allusion to which he calls attention,
“J. G.” does not speak of ‘‘mowing” a field; that would be a very common place affair; but he does speak of ‘‘moving” a field. The beauty of this illustration will now be apparent:
‘‘And never let the field be moved, For fear it might be broke.”
When it is considered how frequently a field is mowed, and how impossible it is to move one without it being ‘‘broke,” it is at once ap- parent that ‘J. G.’ has a much keener sense of the poetical and the beautiful than James McDonald, whose allusion to the ‘‘mowing” is exceedingly poor and weak.
I hereby congratulate ‘J. G.” upon his beautiful and appropriate lines ; and you, sir, too, are entitled to cur gratitude for your ap- preciation of the sublime and the beautiful, which led you willingly te publish this beauti- ful poem. Yours, oak 5
JOHN JAMES McDonaLp. July 9, 1878.
His Mother’s Executioner.
A RUSSIAN BOY KILLS HIS MOTHER TO AVENGE HIS FATHER’S HONOR.
(From the London Times.)
There is now occupying the Russian criminal tribunals a tragedy which throws into the shade the gloomiest imaginings of the old Greek playrights. It is the murder of a mother by her son, a child nine years old. The story is one of the most appalling in the whole annals of human crime, and withal is it heart-touching as showing the misdirection of a noble nature. For the motive of the crime was honor, and the son slew his mother that her blood might wash
out the stain her infidelity had put upon her husband’s name. The case is a most remarkable one. There seems to be no evidence of a vicous disposition on the part of the boy. On the contrary, he seems to have had a loving heart, and to have been tenderly attached to his dead father; but a cloud came over his young existence, when his mother, forgetting her duty to the liv- ing and the dead, contracted an illicit al- liance with a government employee. The woman seems to have troubled herself little to conceal her hwmours from her son, think- ing that a child of such tender years would not be likely to pay any attention to her actions. She does not seem to have ever suspected the precocious sensibility of her child.
The boy, however, very soon began to suspect the true relations existing between the stranger and his mother. The func- tionary entered frequently before the child’s eye and at unusual hours into the house that had belonged to the dead father. The child felt himself cruelly injured by the dishonour cast upon his father’s memory, which had remained enshrined in his young heart like a sacred i For a long time he concealed his anger and his shame ; but one day his indignation mastered him, and he resolved to make an effort to win his mother from the path of shame.
Throwing aside all fear, he reproved the widow for her infidelity to her dead hus- band, and besought her to return to her duty by respect to the memory of the dead, and out of respect to her son. The mother treated these remonstrances lightly, and burst out laughing at the child. Without even deigning to hear him to the end, she advised him to occupy himself with matters more appropriate to his age. Several times he seemed to have renewed his exhortations always, however, meeting with the same re- ception.
Feeling that it was useless to appeal to the better nature of his mother, the child conceived the horrible design of washing out in her blood the stain she persisted in putting on his name, and which he knew was no longer a secret from the neighbors. Having once made up his mind,his thoughts became wholly absorbed in plans for carry- ing his vengeance into execution. Where- ever he went he carried with him this idea of avenging the injured honour of his name. In solitude he pondered over it, until it be- came in his eye a holy duty. Besides, this child of nine years taking upon his con- science the responsibility of judge and exe- cutioner, thinking and planning before tak- ing action, Hamlet tormented by visions and simulating madness is only capable of inspiring pity. The heart is moved at the thought of the ish the child must have suffered. First he dug the grave. This was, for his infant hands, a long and pain- ful labor. When he had everything pre- pared he resolved to execute his terrible purpose.
One night, while his mother slept, he armed himself with a hatchet and silently approached her bed. When his eyes rested on the author of his being his resolution was shaken. He gazed on the face he had long loved and respected. The sight was too much for his childish heart and, burst- ing into tears, he fell on his knees before his mother’s bed. There the morning light found him stretched in slumber with the deadly hatchet still clasped in his tiny hands. When his mother rose she was terribly frightened at the sight. She
awoke the boy, who explained his presence
on
by a pleasant fable, then took the oppor-
tunity to once more beseech his mother to dismiss her lover and return to the path of honor. She, however, lost her temper, and, ordering the child to hold his tongue, dismissed him curtly. - This action of the widow decided her son to out this marderous resolution. The following night he entered his mother’s bedroom and, finding her asleep, with one blow of the hatchet he killed her. He then took the body, which he dragged to the grave he had prepared and there interred it.
The trial of this strange parricide is pro- gressing in the town of Va ok, in the Gov- ernment of Kharkow. Seldom have the Russian people been so interested in a criminal trial, but the sight of a child nine years old, standing in the dock as the assassin of his mother, is well calculated to excite the compassionate sympathy among a people by whom the family ties are regarded with something of the respect of the patriarchal times. Mr. Niadimir, Pro- fessor of Criminal Law at the University of Kharkow, has spontaneously undertaken the defence of the unfortunate child.
A Gang of Youthful Burglars. A SERIES OF ROBBERIES BY FIVE BOYS UNDER
FOURTEEN YEARS OF AGE.
(Montreal Witness. ) During the past few months a number of petty burglaries have been perpetrated on St. Lawrence Main Street, which led to the
conclusion that a gang of practised thieves were systematically at work. The dry- goods’ store of W. B. Bowie & Co., No. 215, was several times broken into and goods taken, the thefts usually being com- mitted on Sunday afternoons or holidays. Every effort was made to discover the crim- inals, but without avail. The hardware store of Avila Bourbonnier was entered on St. Peter and St. Paul’s Day, and a quan- tity of goods stolen. The circumstance caused considerable alarm, and the detect- ives, Lafon and Cullen, were communicated with. The began a search among the noto- rious thieves and ‘‘ penitentiary birds” of the city, but without avail. A robbery from Maurice Michael’s cigar store on Mce- Gill Street put a new aspect on the matter, and the detectives obtained a clue upon which they discovered that a company of boys had been the delinquents. A screw- driver was found in the yard, and had evi- a been me Pag ty Goumtiien: the premises. A nam
rault, aged twelve years, was arrested, and confessed that he had taken
THE SCREW-DRIVER FROM HIS MOTHER'S SEWING-MACHINE
to open the back window of the store they contemplated robbing. The chain of evi. dence was soon completed, and the detec- tives arrested Joseph Brodeur, 13; Lucien Plamondon, 13 ; Gonsalve Plamondon, 10; and Magloire Labelle, 14. They confessed having carried on these robberies from time to time ; and a large quantity of the goods were recovered in cellars, where they had been carefully stored, while another pile was found concealed under a fence on Sherbrooke Street. The youths were brought up at the Police Court this morn- ing, where the five were arraigned before His Honor, Mr. Desnoyers, and with many tears told the whole story of their crimes. It was a wonder to the detectives them- selves, when they discovered the thieves, that such
SHREWDLY APPOINTED ROBBERIES
could have been committed by children. A private detective, named Charles Maroni, had been employed to sleep on the pre- mises, but could find no clue to the thieves. The spoils contain articles representing all conceivable trades, and were piled on @ table in the Police Court this morning. Six boxes of cigars, about twenty penknives, and as many pair of gloves, violin strings enough for a whole orchestra, heavy chains, merschaum pipes, gentlemen’s rubbers filled with cigars, many pounds of tobacco,
istol caps, and almost everything concey- able in small tools, boxes, &c., were repre- sented. The youths admitted stealing $5 in cash, as well as the goods, and said they used to enter by the back doors and win- dows. The total value of the goods cannot be estimated,but will probably reach several hundred dollars. The boys are respectably connected, and their conduct creates great surprise. The depositions are being taken in the case, and the boys were remanded in the meantime.
SENTENCED.
Gonzalve Plamondon and Lucien Plamon- don were fined $10 or one month. George Perrault was sent to the Reformatory for four years, and Joseph Brodeur and Mag. loire Labelle for two years each. It was proved that the Plamondon’s did not ac- tually participate in the robbery.
Tue Great $10,000 Horse Race.—The
t four mile race between the celebrated Tteky horse ‘‘ Ten Broeck” and the ually celebrated ‘‘ Mollie McCarthy,” which came all the way from San Francisco, resulted in a great disappointment to the twenty-five thousand people who assembled on the Lousville course to witness what was expected to be one of the greatest contests of the = ag wapcronchs =e in the first heat, having stop completely fagged out at the end of 3? miles. The coal was very heavy, and the excessive heat was too much for the mare. ‘‘ Ten Broeck,” also is said to have been greatly distressed. He
ran the four miles in 8.193.
