MRS. PART1NGToN AND IRE.-A new book by
Mrs. Darlington is ono of the most agreeable
literary announcements which we can make to
the thousands who have laughed and grown
fat over her unique sayings. The old lady has
been sometime preparing volume, which she
has christened KNITTING work, Web of many
Textures" and in few weeks Messrs. Brown,
Taggard & Chase, the fortunate publishers, will
issue in very attractive form. It will be
handsomely illustrated by Hoppin, who has
caught the spirit Of the work, and represented
both Mrs. Partington and Ike in many of their
peculiaritics, with unusual felicity.
Though differing somewhat from Mr.. Shilla-
boris previous volume, published some five
years ago, and of which 10000 copies were
sold, 1t yet abounds in quaint and grotesque
Partingtonian sayings, fne poems, and sug-
gestive essays. The opening chapter on the
choosing of "Guardian for Ike," is running
over with fun aud philosophy. The greater
part Of the book is original, while scattered
here and there through its pages may be found
selections from the authors recent contribu-
tions to the Gazette, of which he is one Of the
editors. AT the risk of being charged with
telling tales out of school, we venture TO give
publicity to the following conversation about
the volume, between the dame and prying
neighbor, who is perhaps little jealous of our
friends success:
80 you arc coming before the public again"
said the inquisitOr, looking into Mrs. Parting
toms little low window, at which the dame was
knitting. She pondered his words q moment
before replying. "1 am not publican" she
said at length; Sand though Heaven knows we
are none Of us not too good, the publicans are
best, and that's gospel truth" "I mean,"
said the querist, "that you have new work on
tho carpet" "Not on the carpet, exactly"
replied she, "but something that's cognac to
it-knitting- work |" "Crewel ?" he persisted
in inquiring. "No," was the response; "there
isn't nothing cruel in it, like satyr, to wran-
glc like barbed arrow; it will be pleasant to
take, like lucubration for parched tongue,
and will mako people happy. But there's no
knowing who will be governor till after cleo
ton, and whether book goes well or not de-
ponds upon the number that buys it," The in
quisitor moved along, and Mrs. \. kept on with
her knitting.

The sickles Murder Trial.

The trial OF Daniel t. Sicklcs for the muir
der of Philip Barton Key commenced at
Washington on Monday of last week, Judge
Crawford presiding. Mr.. Sickles, after the
preliminaries were disposed Of, was arragned
and the indictment read to- him. In re.
sponse to the usual question he ansNe ed
mot guilty." On Monday out oI panel of
thirty jurors only hve were selected. Seven
ty-fve taliSmen were ordered for Tuesday,
and out Of the lot only four aeleeted. On
Wednesday, full Complement of jurors were
obtained. The counsel for Mr. Sickes are
James T. Brady and John Graham of New
York, l.. i. Stanton OF Pittsburgh, and
Mcssrs. Samuel Chiffon and Daniel Itatclitr
of Washington.
The prosecution is conducted by Robert
Ould attorney of the United States for the
Distrct Of Columbia, assisted by James NJ.
Carlisle Mr.. Sicllcs is represented as MP
pearing calm and free from excitement. His
father and Mrs. Sickles' father tMr. Bugioli)
and muny of his friends are present.
The preliminary routine Oft Sickles trial
having been completed, aud the examination
of witnesses commenced, there begins TO hc
some interest in the reports from Washing
ton. The opening Of district attorney Ould
for the prosecution seems TO have been in
genious and clear lie took the position that
homicide perpetrated by person who had
all the advantages on his~ side and with cir
eumstanees of deliberate cruelty and vindic-
tiveness, is murder, no matter what the pre-
vious provocation may have been. lie then
enlarged Upon the number and character Of
his weapons, his wearing overcoat for pro-
lection on a warm day, the defenseless con
dition of Key, and his applications for mer-
ey. Revenge he said, had never been adj
mitted to be palliation, much lcssA justih-
cation of murder, and TO admit it would be
to establish dangerous precedent and With,
draw one of the chief safeguards Of human
lie.
The counsel for the defense made no open
ing statement, dcferring il until the evidence
for the government 10 completed, but they
will endeavor to show that Mr.. Sickles be-
lieved his wife innocent UP to the afternoon
OF the day before tho murder. that nj night
he became perfect mailman from passion
and grief, and that he pursued and attacked
