A ietter-wrlter who visited Jef. Da-
Wis narrates the following incident:
"The coming of the little child into
the inner casemate and climb;ne into
his fathers arms who had ;ust risen
from the sofa. gave occasion to Mrs.
Davis to make some remarks abont her
other children nart;cuIarly those IN

the constitutional amendment, but presumes

diers, and for the relief Of destitute disabled
Confederate and State soldiers.

THE TRIAL OF ARMSTRONG.

The trial of A. Peterson Armstrong, fer the
murder of his wife, near Middetown, last May,
took place at New Castle last week.
The case was opened and number of wit
nesses examined Owing to the great length
we give only the more important testimony:
A good deal of difficulty, as is usual in such
cases, was experienced in getting jury, and it
was not until forty-nne names had been called
that they were enabled to select twelve men
competent to try the case; Of this forty-nine
twenty-eight had formed or expressed opinions,
two had conscientious scruples against capital
punishment, six were challenged by the pris-
oner' 5 counsel, and one had been excused from
attendance by the Court.
The following are the remaining twelve who
constitute the .Ja1y: James Dilworth, James
Scott. Chandler Lamborn, James MOOte, VIM.
+. Green, Thomas S. Vandeyer, Henry +.
Pickles, Candy Clements, VIM. Dorsey, Mar
Miller, Daniel Stevens, VIM. r. Lyman.
After the jury was sworn, the case was open
ed for the State by Acknowledgement Moore.
Ebenezer Eliason, sworn-Is half brother
ried in 1852 or 1858; first heard on Wednes-
day, May %, that deceased was missing; on
Saturday, May Goth, went with Samuel Roth
we'll to Armstrong; house prisoner was sitting

oncr's name is Andrew Peterson Armstrong,
and he was frequently called by his middle
name), ] understand that your wife is gone
away, and that you don't know where she is
gone !; prisoner answered, "Y Yes, she is gone ~
witness asked where he thought she had gone;
Armstrong answered, "My first impression
was that she had gone to the canal and drown
ed herself, and if so, my prayers are answer.
ed :" witness said that was pretty hard Ian.

the canal dragged prisoner thought it would
be of no use, that the ErricsOn boats would
have carried her out to the Delaware before

her to leave. Armstrong answered that when

the cellar with plate of butter and knife in
her hands, and said "you would take a mig

Henry Ward Beecher Telling stories.

What is permanent, true and abiding, and
what merely sensational and ephemeral, who
shall tell us? Where shall We draw the line,
and who, fifty years hence, will be admitted
into The permanent and classical niche of fame,
and who swept away as the scum upon the
wave? At this moment, Mr.. Bonner, of the
NeU York LeCtger, Is announcing an engage
ment with Rev. Henry Ward Beecher to fur
nlsh his paper with "a story" Certainly, we
may all say that truth is stranger than fc-
ton III these days; but yet the most popular
article Is the best paid, we suppose on account
of the regularity and the largeness of the de-
mand.
Is this piece of sensa tionalism in its con-
ception, aim and end or is it going to give Ms
something which, like Uncle Toms Cabin, u
by the authors sister, may be called sensation
al and ephemeral by those who do not like
its ideas, but will yet prove a power in the
earth, shaking established institutions, and fol
good or evil making itself felt as a nucleus oi
future public opinion? Such are the questions
now being asked. Is the pastor of Plymouth
Church going to show up some of his refracto
ry brethren, or is the brother of the authoress
Of bred or the Dismal Swamp" about to
teach the people how President johnson
ought to restore the South and reconcile black
and white in that region?
1t IS nice question how far all that is per
manent in literature and thought must neces
sarily begin by making strong sensational i'm
preston at the first. Scott was denounced il
his early days as a mere sensational poet, unit
Byron, with his mad passions and gladiatoria
exhibition of himself, threw him and all thu
gentler sensatiOnalists Of that day into thu
shade. Yet both have effected the most per
manent changes in our poetry and the lofties
fame for themselves.
| Yet not all effects are durable in proportion
to the momentary impression they create =
? Sensational acting at the theatre, novel writing
lecturing and preaching, and political speaking
how they die out In half a season now tn,
great rising star proves only an exploding rock
ct that ends in an empty tumbing stick.
The Beecher family all have their eccentri
cities, and such as catch the public attention. =
In this, and in the strength and pertnacit
with which they ply the public mind witt
them, they are like their father-one family
.. There is, too, so great liberty to disagree
claimed by them, that they all seem almos
6 alike in being no two alike, and not long con
tinuing stationary in any opinion, but alway

Our Little One.

Ofall the prayers that test my faith,
This is the hardest one,
To gaze en- that dear face in death
And say, "Thy will be dOne."
In the wild struggle nature fails
And sinks affrighted down;
A mortal grief DER faith prevails,
The cross obscures the crown
So fast upon her pale, sweet clay,
Came down my binding tears,
They veiled awhile her shining way
To the celestial spheres.
Thou, who hast with hand unseen
Removed the loved to Thee,
Come now, with helping grace between
My little one and me.

A long and interesting letter on the wood in
terest, and on the profit of raising sheep in
Iowa, in leading Western paper, contains
some interesting items of ofinformation. The au-
thor shows by various data some actual results.
Others estimate that the profit of raising sheep
is from 50 to 50 per cent, and that there need
be no fear that the business can be overdone,
since after purchasing all the wool produced in
this country, our woOllen manufacturers have
been forced to import each year larger and lar
ger quantities of foreign wool to enable them to
supply the demand for their fabrics. He states
the imports to have been in the year ending
June 3, 1860, of the value of "a, 842, 452; in
1861, SIS, $50; in 1862, $3.50, 667; and in
1868, $4,000, 600 pounds, of. the value of gil,
O6O, ,064. The statistics of the State of Iowa
fully corroboratc the writer's statement that
the raising of sheep has been the most profta-
Bile occupation that labor and capital could find.
In the winter of 1868 there were in that State
only 599, ,933 sheep: for shearing in the spring
of 1864 $685. 93S; and for the spring of 1865,
l,474, ,922. At this ratio of increase, in 1870,
Iowa will have five million head cf sheep. The
amount shorn in 1864, according to the census
returns, was 2,8l3, 3,620 pounds. 1t is estimated
that the clip of 1865 was about five millions
nine hundred pounds, and the purchases of
wool at one point alone has been, this year,
double those of last year.
