He then slowly unfolded the slip of
paper whereon were written the IA
tai words that were to decide the
mans doom, while the audience
leaned forward in eager expectancy,
waiting with bated breath, the read
ing of the verdict: "We, the jury,
find the prisoner not guilty A
rustic, a murmur of suppressed ex-
citement, and then a hush, during
which every eye was turned on the
prisoner, who quaked with nervous
ness, .and seemed quite unable to
brace himself for several minutes
Soon, however, his friends came
fiocking about him, and under the
influence Of their inspiring and
somewhat ostentatlous congrat-
ulations, he quickly revived, the
jury all came forward and shook
him by the hand, and, as an evidence
of how they felt toward him, they
all, with but one exception, had
tears in their eyes Or on their
cheeks.
Some friends coming up just at
this time, Mr.. Smith turned to re-
ceive their congratulations, and in
few moments after, supported by his
father, he left the court room and
remained in the sheriff parlor, re-
clining on lounge, until nearly the
time for the eastward bound train.
He then went to the depot, where he
seemed very weak and exhausted,
being obliged to be bolstered with
shawls, etc. The train soon arriy-
ling, he was supported ON either side
to the ladies' car, where two seats
were turned together, and he was
made as comfortable as was possi-
BILE, his father being in the seat be-
side him. Our reporter passing
through the car shortly after the
train started, was stopped by Mr..
Smith, who smiled and extended his
hand.
Being then introduced. our re-
porter, after few congratulatory
remarks to the elder Mr.. Smith up
on the character of the verdict,
turned to his son and said: "W ell,
sir, it must seem pleasant to you to
be once again on your way home
You seem very weak, however"
Mr.. Smith, am more weak now
than at any time during the trial.
It has been all that I could do ia
, keep calm and firm, even with a free
use of drugs.
;, Reporter-It must, indeed, have
: been very trying.
Mr. Smith warmly, 1t was cru

my bed hardly day at time when

my wife had been snatched from my
arms and before I could recover
from the shock, they came to accuse
me of this dreadful crime 1t has
been very hard to bear.

cH! WELL I REMEMBER!

ANAAANAASA~AA~>s'
Oh! well remember
How sadly tore
The first checkered apron
That ever wore. ~
How boohood and beloved,
And flooded with tears.
When my mother gaveme
box on the ears;
Then big piece of pie for the damage she'd
done
To her dearest, her darling, but good-for-
naught son.
Oh we'll remember
CThey are fresh in my mind)
These gay little trowsers,
All buttoned behind;
How played in the puddle,
And daubed them in dirt 81.
How my grandmother shook me.
Till screamed with the hurt,
But promised to buy me a nice sugar toy,
If I'd but remember to be a good day.
Oh well 1 remember
MY advent to school
How got on the Ounce block,
And feltlike a fool
How pulled out the paper
From Emily's curls,
For which was planted
On q seat with the girls!
Twas punishment fraught with confusion and
pain,
But oh should like to be put there again.
oh! we'll remember,
When older Id'grown,
had to spread clover
AS fast as twas mown!
And the finger of fancy
Still points the churn,
And the hated old grindstone
~ / dreaded to turn;
For chlrned and l, turned till as weak as
cat,
And sweat till as wet as water soaked rat.
Obi well remember
The old sorrel mare,
That took me to meeting,
To mill an d to fair
Irode her a plowing
Till tender and sore
Became my poor limbs,
And couldn't ride more;
But often times since have heavily signed
To think of the ''horse'' thatI daily must ride

FEARFUL FALL FROM A
TRAPEZE.
Exciting Scene at a st. Louis
Theater.

From the st. Louis Democrat, Nov. IL
The daring feats of young girl
known as Mile. Zagrino, who is only
about fourteen years of age, have
for some time excited the wonder
and admiration Of the habitues Of
the Varieties theater. Mounted
upon a bar hanging about twenty
five feet above the floor, this beauti-
full child would balance herself, with
arms outstretched and a smile upon
her face, and then, swinging in long
oscillations, stand upon one foot,
looking more like creature of the
air than a being of the earth. So
dangerous did her performances
appear, that many persons predicted
that she would fall and break her
neck.
Last night the prediction came
very near being verified. Mile
Zagrino was going through her
usual trapeze performances and had
come to that part where she stands
on one foot, with the bar in rapid
motion, when she lost her balance.
She attempted to grasp the bar with
her hands, but missed it. and fell
headlong upon the floor inside OF
the orchestra railing, striking on b Ell
right hand and breaking her wrist.
A deep cash was cut in her forehead
and her shoulder was severely bruis-
ed. A cry Of horror arose from the
audience as the girl fell, and men
started up in the widest excitement
Every cheek turned as pale as ashes
and men and women became as
tremulous as though stricken with
palsy.
On striking the floor near the base
viol, the girl lay still, and it was
supposed that she was dead. He
father, who had been watching tht
, performance from the stage, at once
came forward, and, leaping into th'
orchestra, lifted up the lifeless form
Of his daughter, and placed he
: upon the stage. She was then carried
: behind the scenes, and three physi
clans were sent for. The audienc'
were informed that Mile Zagrint
= was only slightly injured, and tn
7 show went on-two comic song
being next on the programme. Il
few minutes the girl revived, an

felt no great pain except in he
, wrist, and begged the doctors no
to disturb her. No other bone
were broken except at the wrist
, Such were the statements of th
e ushers, but the audience were of tn
opinion that the injuries were of
;, more serious nature, and, consider
inc that the fall was an unbrokel

l strange if severe internal injurie

In some civilized countries thes

they be permitted here?

Each party were headed by their guide or

also the president of the tribunal, the royal
proculator, the judges, projects, and other no.

beloved and esteemed by all, then mounted
the pulpit and spoke in the most touching
manner OF the duty Of pardonins ones enc

man with his Creator, and that the forgive

scene at which humanity was ever present,
Moved to tears, the enemies embraced each
