FINE POINTS OF LAW.
Soma of the Nic Legal Distinction
In England's Criminal cSda.
There are manv Icjal terms that
j are uaud by the public in quite the
wrong sense, and often when people
are discussing law tliey Hopelessly
confuse them. A few of these terms
are given below, and the distinc
tions explained.
"Libel" is a defamation of an
other's character by writing, print
ing, picture or the like, whereas
"slander" is an oral defamation.
Another important difference be
tween these two offenses is that in
the case of libel there are two reme
dies one by a criminal prosecution
and the other by an action for dam
ages. But in the case of slander
the only remedy is by action for
damages.
"Burglary" is the breaking and
entering of a dwelling house by
night (i. e., between 9 p. m. and 6
a. m.) with intent to commit a fel
ony, whereas "housebreaking" is a
similar offense, but committed by
day. The maximum punishment for
burglary is penal servitude for life,
and the maximum punishment for
housebreaking is fourteen years'
penal servitude. The law has al
ways looked upon burglary as being
the more heinous offense, and this
is due, probably, to the fact that it
usually occasions more alarm and
often leads to homicide. It is advis
able for an intending criminal to
have a look at his watch before
"cracking a crib!"
There is a distinction between
"robbery" and ordinary "stealing"
(or "larceny," as it is called) from
another's person. To make the of
fense "robbery" the stealing must
be accompanied by an open and vio
lent assault. Thus a man whose
pocket has been picked has not been
"robbed," but a man rom whom
something has been forcibly taken
has.
Another distinction recognized by
the law arises in the case of "em
bezzlement" and "stealing by clerks
and servants." In order for the of
fense to b embezzlement the prop
erty appropriated must not, at the
time, be in the actual or legal pos
session of the owner. For instance,
if a clerk receives some money from
a customer and keeps it he has
stolen it. But if he first puts it in
his employer's safe and subsequent
ly takes it out again and keeps it
he is guilty of embezzlement. The
reason is that by placing the money
in the safe it became in the legal
possession of the employer. ton

His Position.
The southern darky's love of
putting oil till next spring or later
what should be done on the spot is
as well known as it is vexatious.
One day Major Jackson, a con
tractor in a Georgia quarry, told
Zeb, the general utility man, to go
to the blacksmith shop across the
road and bring back a drill that m
to be sharpened. About half an
hour later the major saw Zeb come
poking around the corner of the of
fice. "Here," ho shouted, "where have
you been ?"
"I ain't been, boss." resnorwkd
Zeb cheerfully.' "I's gwinc." Lip-
pmcott s.
Small Talk.
Fuscli, the painter, had a great
dislike to that species of conversa
tion familiarly denounced "tattle."
Once when sitting in his room for
a long while among some trilling
visitors who were discussing the
weather and such like interesting
subjects, after remaining for a long
time without speaking, lie burst out
with a "We had pork for dinner to
day I" "Dear Mr. Fuselil" exclaim
ed one. "What an odd remark I"
"Why," replied he, "it's as good as
anything you've been saying for the
last hour." Lippincott's.
Fooled Her.
"You promised that you would
give me my answer this evening,"
he said. "Are you ready to do so?"
"lcs, she replied, "but I want
you to promise me something first."
"What is it?"
"I want you to promise me sol
emnly that you will not do anything
rash that you will not, when 1
have given you my answer, go and
drown yourself or take bichloride of
mercury."
"Oh, then, you have decided to
say yes, have you?" Chicago Record-Herald.
A Poor Remedy.
Speaking of a certain measure un
der discussion in the senate, a well
known congressman said: "It docs
not meet the situation at all and
will not remedy conditions. It re
minds me of the wife of a young
blacksmith of Washington. 'Did
you sew that button on my coat?'
this blacksmith asked his wife one
morning. 'No, dear,', the wife an
swered. couldn't find the button,
but I sewed up the buttonhole, so
it's all right.'"
