THE TRIAL OF BAKER FOR THE
4t MURDER OF BILL POOLE.

The jury in this, case, being unable
TO agree, have been discharged. The
New York Express Of Thursday has the
following in regard to this case s.5
This extraordinary trial has at
length drawn to close. The address
Of Mr.. Whiting for the prosecution,
which is very fully reported in our col
umns this evening, an able and brilliant
effort, will be read with deep and alb
sorblng interest by all who could. not
listen 70 his eloquence. The judges

need hardly direct attention. The trial
is especially remarkable as having de-
velopcd a state of crime and ruffianism
ia our city that is truly startling. The
influency Of our present police system,
the delays ofjustice, the frequent escape
from punishment Of well-known often

20 Jenny Lind recently gave a
ferewell concert in London. It was
eminently successful. Her voice is
said to be as exquisite as ever. The
London Times, in the course Of an Ella
borate crtique holds this language:
Jenny Lind has given us good
cause to think that she dose not belong
to the common race Of artists, and that
ingratitude does not belong to her
nature. Let us, then believe that the
slight tremulousness which impaired
an additional charm to those soft and
just audible tones at the end of the
Echo Song" come from the heart of
the singer, and meant something more
than a simple expedicnt resorted to
for the purpose of effect. Of one
thing we are certain--the last notes of
Jenny will not very soon be forgotten
by those who we're fortunate enough
to hear them. They represented the
final greeting Of one who has rather
been idolized than courted as an ordi-
nary public fayorite, and were listen
ed TO with an interest little short of
painful.

Wasbingtun Sentinel.


We insert below the letter Of Mr.. Pesrce, OF
Maryland, in which he gives his reasons for
supporting the nominees of the Cincinnati
Convention.
Mr.. Pearce is among the sturdiest of Wings;
he declines giving his adhesion TO the Demo
cratic party beyond the present campaign in
fact, he consents to ally himself with the party
solely because il is the only mode of nsuring
defeat to the Black Republican pariy--a party
conspiring against the peace and welfare Of
the nation, and acting with special hostility
towards that section Of the country with which
Mr.. Pearce is identified.
Mr.. Pearce appears TO feel, as great hard
ship, the stern necessity which has driven him
into utilization with the Democratic party
and truly he has given such an array of facts
as leave him no alternative. We doubt not
that the great bulk of the Wing party will
equally find themselves constrained, for the
sake of the welfare of the country, to join
shoulder to shoulder with Mr.. Pearce in his
efforts to defeat Black Republicanism. We
regret to see that a man so able and candid
as Senator Pearce should cling with such q
tenacity to dead party-a party, with all its
errors, which numbered among its ranks many
Of the ablest men and purest patriots.

ONE-TENTH OF A SECOND FROM DEArH.--It will
be remembered that the Rev. Mr.. Sellwood. of
the Episcopal Church, missionary to Oregon was
in the Panama massacre, and reported among
the dead In letter just received from him
he says that he received four wounds and is dis
figured for life. His narrow escape from death
is thus described:
"After had recovered and previous to leav-
ing the hospital one of my medical attendants
said to me: Il look upon your escape as miri-
Gle; the ball passed SO near the heart, that il
must have passed at the instant of its contrac
tion, for had II passed at its expansion you must
have been killed Just the one-tenth of a sec
ond made all the difference in your case be-
tween life and DEATH"
