ADMIRATION OF CRIMINALS.
An American correspondent of a contemporary writes : —Jesse James, the Missouri outlaw, was buried with great honoi'3 as a popular hero, and the house where he was shot has been nearly pulled down by relic hunters. His wife is on exhibition in, a travelling circus, and is well paid for showing herself. The murderers were indicted, convicted, sentenced to death and pardoned fully, all in three hours one day; and they are employed hunting up others of their old gang with their little pistols. Guiteau has sold tho suit he wore when he shot Garfield, and it is a paying card in the show business. His sister has taken the lecture field, and will mako money out of his crime, or perish on the altar of her country. There have been quite a number of sensational murders and suicides since I last wrote, and the Apaches of Arizona nave butcucrcd about 100 settlers, to get their hands in.
