MRS. POLLARD.

The end of the famous Pollard-Moore case
was reached in Baltimore. yesterday. Mrs.
Maria n Pollard. wife of Z. \. Pollard. was
brought up fer trial for an alleged attempt
TO shoot DR.. George A. Moore on the 10Th
day of January last in that city. The lady
appeared in Court, heavily veled snd with
out counsel. The testimony of Moore ami
others was first taken and the criminal as
sault proven. Judge Gilmor, before whom
the trial was held, assigned q special counsel
to Mrs. Pollard. and this counsel took the
defence that the lady, at the time of the as
sault. was out of her mind, and therefore not
responsible for her conduct. The lady her
self asked through her counsel for the privi-
lege OF making statement, which was grant
ed, and she proceeded to detail to the Court
the history of wrongs she claimed to have re-
ceived at the hands of f. A. Pollard, led on
and encouraged, as she alleged, by DR.. Moore.
She concluded rather lengthy story by stat
ing that inch by inch she had been deprived
by these men Of all she possessed, except her
honor, and that could ouly be taken with her
life. She also stated that she bore no rela-
tionship whatever to Mr.. Pollard, his treat
ment of her having been of such character
as to compel her to apply for divorce, which
was now pending. She did not deny the as
saut charged, but claimed that Dr. Moore
had denied having had any knowledge of the
whereabouts of Pollard ; that lie had told her
he had not seen him for months, although
she had seen him enter and depart from
Moore's house only the night pr~vious, and
his constant interference between her hus-
band and herself had driven her to frensy.
Judge Gilmor then reviewed the case and
finally concluded by declaring the witness
guilty of common assault as charged in the
indictment, and sentenced her to be confaed
in Jail for thirty days. Upon his announce
ment scene followed, not often witnessed in
a court of justice. Mrs. Pollard rose with
outstretched hands, and in frenzied man
ner, cried out: "Oh. Judge, do not send
me to prison." She then fell on her knees
and appealed to the Judge, saying: For
the sake of my more than orphaned children
do not deprive them of the protection of
mother" She then sank with her head on
the knees of Mr.. Mills. her counsel, uttering
hysterical sobs until Messrs. Irwin and Car
ter, Deputy WarGens of the Jail, appeared,
and, as delcatey as possible removed her to
the Office of the Clerk of the Court
Judge Gilmor was evidently much moved,
but preserved his equanimity, and the bust
ness of the court proceeded In the mean
time, Mrs. Pollard went on with her excited
outcries in the Clerks office, and succeeded
in attracting a considerable crowd.
When the court adjourned, Deputy War
den Irwin removed the prisoner amid her con-
tinued excitement. to hack standing on
Lexington street. and, accompanied by the
gentlemen who came with her from Washing
ton, she was conveyed to Jail, where she now
remains.

A BAD BEGINNING.-The advocates Of wo-
mems suffrage have urged that the admission
of women to the privileges of the ballot-box
would result in puriication of elections !;
that fraud and corruption would fee abashed
from the presence of female purity at the
polls. Possibly; but they make bad be-
ginning in some places. For instance : The
Bloomington en- Pantagaph says: "The
election of officers of the Pniladelphian So
ciety of the Illinois Normal University took
place last Saturday evening, in the grand
hall. A ticket was put in nomination in
the usual way, and no objection was made.
At meeting of the Young Ladies' Secret
Society ticke: was agreed upon, and kept a
profound secret until the moment of the cleo
ton. Nearly every lady of the Society voted
the ticket of the sisterhood, which was accord
ingly elected by some eight or ten votes. On
examination, it was found that Illegal votes
were cast for the female ticket exceeding their
majority. The President, therefore. declared
the regular ticket elected. It is believed that
the election was Unconstitutional from first to
last, and that the election will be contested" !"

AUTUMN.

10, Autumn now comes with her splcndorots
treasures,
TO pile III the lap Of the fast waning year.
70 cover it over, and lade it with beauty,
The sad, gloomy pail, and the funeral bier
That hidcth the summer whose glory is paling
Passing away like the gray mist of morn
Dying like flowers that were tcnderly cherished.
Now trailing and torn by the pitiless storm.
Yes, low lie the buds that were fostercd in sunshine
And watered with dew from the fountains of air
Whose incense no more shall be waited to meet us,
Nor bright colors glance, that have bcamcd rich
and rare.
But the yerdure of sUnny-hucd summer has faded,
Like the spell OF a,ream, the magic of song,
That dielh away ere we catch the sweet meaning,
Yet liEgereth still, when the echo is gone
Though winter may come, and the fragrance be
banished
That brcathed from the fern nesting low on the
hill,
Though flowers be all witherod and roses all faded
The river be chained, and the silver toned rll.
Yet the rythmical measure that chimcl in the
brooklet
The perfume that crcpt from the fern on tlt hill,
And the odors of roses and lilies all blended,
Shall haunt us and still in memories thrill.

A NOBLE HOD CARRIER.
[Flom the Galesburg Inl.J Free Press,

From the Calesburg ILL., Free Press, Oct. o.
On Thursday afternoon last Colonel Carr,
the Postmaster, received heavy sealed docu-
mcnt at his Office postmarked ''Nicnna,'
and directed to Herr Carl Won Nechtcr
Galesburg, Knox county, State of Illinois,
United States of North American Know
ING that the massive letter must be of impor-
tance from its crested seals and general otfi-
cial appearance, he despatched Mr. William
Post, chief clerk of the office in search of
Herr Won Nechtcr. Mr.. Post made diligent
inquiry of several but could not find any
trace of the individual wanted until he met
with Mr.. John LoCS, the we'll known saloon
keeper on the east side of the square. Mr..
Loos knew Il Charley Ncchtcr he was work
ing on the new hotel building, and both
walked over there, where they found Eechter
about to ascend Il ladder, with hod on his
shoulder When Mr.. Post handed him the
letter and he had read it the delight of the
holman knew no bounds. lie threw his hod
full of brick away and embraced Mr. Post,
calling him his dearest friend The letter
contained Il draft lor 81 800 on the First Ma
tional Bank of Chicago, and he insisted
paying MIR. Post $500 for being the bearer of
such joyful tidings rs the document contain
ed, which, of course, Mr.. Post refused.
In the year 1857 Herr Won Nechtcr being
then nineteen years old and of noble family,
entered the Austrian army rs lieutenant, and
through regular gradations in 1860 arrived
at the rank of major. In the month of Sep
tcmbcr of that year he was grossly insulted
at a levee by the colonel of his regiment.
Proud and high spirited, he resented the in
suit, and a challenge was passed between the
two officers They mct--pistols at ten PAGES
and the Colonel fell. With great difficulty

AN AWFUL OLD MUSKET.

Mark Twain tells the following story. re-
lated by 4 fellow passenger, who, being BAN

been scared since he loaded an old Queen
Anne's muskct for his father once, whrrrupon
he gave the following:

And he took aim ut u sapling on the other
side of the road, and began to drop back
out of danger And the next moment heard
the earthquake, and saw the Queen Anne
whirling end over end in the air, and the old
man spinning around on one heel with one
leg up and both hands on his jaw, and the
bark was torn off from that saping like there
was hail storm. The old mans shoulder
