The Devoted mother and her BOY.

Is sez 2,
At the recent session of the Circuit Court at
Gainesville, Mississippi, a young Creole of the
Bay st Louis, named Favre, but better known
las s'Lolo," was tried for the murder of Mr.. o.
Neil 1t was shown that O'Neil had exaspera-
ted the accused to the last degree by calling him
a negro, when he struck O'Neil on the head,
breaking in his skull. For this killing, young
Fayre was sentenced to four years in the State
Penitentiary. During the trial, and while listen
ing to his sentence, he manifested crushed spir-
it; and on being asked by the court if he had
aught to say why sentence should not be passed,
saidlin French-S' l am not guilty of the mans
death, 1t was accidental blow. l struck in
passion, because was insulted and abused.
was called d-wH--d negro twice, and the man
shook his fiat in my face, have suffered eight
months in jail.F could have escaped with anoth-
.er prisoner, but refused. cannot live for four
year in jail" A few days afterwards, it being
announced that Lolo, and one or two fellow pris-
oners were to be removed to the Jail of another
country for better security, large crowd ather-
ed around the Jail to witness the departure. Con-
splcuous among them was the aged mother of Lo-
10, waiting to bid her son 'adieu.'' Suddenly the
alarm was given by one of the prisoners that Lo-
10 had cut himself and was bleeding to DEATH
The jailor and several of the guards Immediately
descendedinto the cell, and found him on his bed,
bleeding FROM both arms. He had drawn a ra-
zor across them, but on examination, the wounds
proved not dangerous. His mother was admitted
to see him, and, with fortitude and forced resig
nation worthy of Roman matron,s .nerved her
son to meet his fate manfully. s'You are young,
my son,'sshe saiu-" you only twenty-five,
and will come out of Jail young man man yet.
Thou wert always fine lad. my son.. and you will
see your home again. You have killeda man,
but you have not d bad heart Go; do all that
you are told; be obedient; and if they curse you,
do not complain: Never murInur, and they will
have pity on you, and treat you kindly. Pray to
the good God every day, my son! am DID, but
will live to see you will 60 to Jackson; but if
die, Lolo, there will be the old place, and your
brothers and sisters.'' 1t was touching sight to
see the poor fellow with his pale and sickly face,
small and weak frame, resting his head on the
lap of a powerful fe1low-prisoner, whose strong
arms were thrown around him, and whose head
was bent down whispering courage and consola-
tion-hmselfs so much in need of them to meet
his fearful fate. Man is strange being. 81

A Fast Story.

:. Au Englishman was Dragging of the speed on
English railroads to Yankee traveller seated at
his side in one Of the cars of "fast train,'' in
England. The engine bell was rung as the train
neared station. It suggested to the Yankee an
opportunity of s'taking down his companion
peg or two.". .s+ .s.HEE
"What's that noise!' nnocently inquired. the
Yankee. - @y5ss ##-s -. 75=7sa
"We are approaching town,'' said the Eng
lishman. ssThey have to commence ringing about
ten miles before they get to station, or else the
train would run by it before the bell could be
heard! Wonderful isn't it! I suppose they
haven't invented bells in America yet!' s~S ..s@
+ ssWhy, yes,' replied the Yankee; 'Ewe've got
bells but can't use them on our railroads. We run
soetarnal fast that the train always keeps ahead OF
the sound. No use whatever; the sound never
Breaches the village till after the train gets by.
"Indeed!'} exclaimed the Englishman. - . =,
"Fact,' said the Yankee, sshad to give up bells.
Then we tried steam whistles, but the wouldn't
answer, either. / was on the locomotive when
the whistle was trie,'. = We were going at a tre-
| mendous rate-hurricanes were no-whar, and ]
had to hold my hair on. We saw two horse
wagon crossing the. track, about five miles
! ahead, and the engineer let the whistle on
screeching like a trooper 1t screamed awfully
but it.wasn'ta ne use. The next thing knew,
was picking myself out of pond by the road side
amid the fragments of the locomotive, dead hor
! ses, broken wagon, dead engineer lying beside
me- Just then the whistle came along, mixed W
with some .frightful oaths that L heard the engn
eer use when he first saw the horses. Poor fel
low, he was dead before his voice got to him.
After that tive tried lights, supposing these woulc
travel faster than sound. We got some so pow
erfnl that the chickens woke up all along the
when we came came by, supposing it to be morn
ing But the. locomotive kept ahead of it still
and was in the darkness, with the light close or
behind it. The inhabitants pettioned against it
they couldn't sleep with much light in tht
night time. Finally we.zhad TO, station electric
telegraphs along the road with sgnsl men to tel
egraph when the train was in sight; and hav
heard that some of the fast trains beat the light
ming Is minutes every 40 miles. But can't say
as that is true-the rest know 10 be so,'' t....s

DIED IN A TRUNK.-In San Francisco, on the
10th ult., a death occurred in the most singular
and distressing manner. A lady had missed her
child, only year old. She supposed that it had
lost itself in the street, and advertised for it, hut
could learn nothing. On the 18th, she had occa-
sion to open her camphor wood trunk, and there
lay her child, dead. 1t had fallen into the trunk
and in trying get out pulled down the lid which
closed with spring and fitted SO closely that the
child had smothered to death. ~ ises

SIR JOHN FRANKLGN.-Sir Edward Perry, the

He says. ss..a- 4ss--gs..,r r.,.---.. -
'sMy belief is still that after the first winter he
did go up that channel, and that, having steam
power, (Which had not in my time) it is possible
he may have gone up in favorable season., For
you cannot imagine anything more different than
favorable and unfavorable season in those re-
gions. You cannot imagine the changes that
take place in the ice there. 1 have been myself
sometimes beset for two or three days together by
the ice in such way that from the masthead
could not see sufficient water to float bottle in,
and in "a hours there was not a. bit of ice to be
seen-I cannot tell why-nobody could tell why.
Therefore, in favorable season he may have
gone up that inlet, and may, by the power of
steam and favorable circumstances, have got SO
far to the northwest that in an ordinary season he
could not get back again. And those who knew
Franklin knew this, that he would push on year
after year, so long his provisions lasted. Moth
ing could stop him. He was not a man to look
back if he believed the thing still possible" '-
