THE New York Sun has very amusing
history OF the Ketchum affair. 1t says Mr.
w. o. Bartlett called upon Ketchum, senior
and told him his son was unlawfully impris-
oned, and that he (Barrlett) knew a Judge
that would grant him a release. The result
was that an application was made to Judge
Barnard Tor writ OF habeas corpus. The
writ was granted. The argument was made
On the case coming up for decision, Mr. Phel.
ps arose and said that young Ke.chum did
not wish to be released, but thought he had
better stay at Sing Sing. Mr.. Bartlett repli-
ed that he had never seen young Ketchum
except for lew minutes. The question was
one which concerned every citizen OF the
State. 1t was whether man could be senten.
ced, without trial or Indictment. Ii man
could be sentenced in this way, then his
Honor, or even the Counsellor himself, might
be sentenced by simple entry OF the accom-
plished Clerk OF the General Sessions, to be
hanged by the neck until dead The people
IN the court room looked at Judge Barnard
very curiously, as if they thought it would be
great pity to hang such handsome man
and then the judge pulled out long manu-
script opinion, in which he had written his
determination 10 liberate young Ketchum
founded on the decisions Of the last six hmm.
dred years; but, as if in disgust, he said that
IF the "--lsome thought he said one thing
and some thought he said a very different
thingl wanted to stay atSiDg Sing, let him
stay there"
Young Ketchum's refusal to avail himself
of any IT. egularities in the legal proceedings
which terminated with his conviction and
sentence, is timely rebuke to all pettifogeers
and quibblers. He frankly says: 81 am guilty
and deserve punishment. The measures by
which you propose to release me take
advantage of technical objection to de-
feat the spirit of the law ITSELF
prefer remaining in jail to being
'shystered' out OF it in this style. Either
pardon me absolutely for crime confess
having committed, or send me back to prison"
1t isn't often that we enjoy the spectacle of a
criminal iustructing the bar and bench by
shedding the light Of common sense upon the
circumlocution, subterfuge, and humbug that
SO often characterize the administration OF
law in New York city, {tnsfe

The BAPTIST AND PREsBYTERIAN.-In
one of the villages of Kenncky, recently, a
Baptist minister and a young Presbyterian
clergyman preached in the same house
might about" both preachers being present
at each meeting. One evening the Presby-
terrain, after discourse on infant baptism
proceeded to baptise several babies. The
little candidates made great out-cry, which.
OF course, was noticed by the Baptist man,
Next day number of the converts OF the lat
ter were to be immersed in the river near bv,
at the appointed hour large concourse
gathered on the banks, the PRESBYTERIAN be-
ing one OF the number, and standing close to
the waters edge. After the candidates had
been immersed the Baptist took hold of his
Presbyterian colleague and said: a.sla 4
snow, sir, will immense you."
The latter, amazed, demurred
"Come along; I am in hurry !" replied the
damp divine, and dragged his brother into
the water. f4aA sfN
Alarmed and indignant, the young Presby-
terrain declared at the top of his voice that he
did not believe in immersion, was opposed to
1T aud would not submit to it,
The audience were much excited by the
scene. The Baptist released his hold, and
said:
"Young man, will not immense YOU To-
day; but if ever again see you bapfising lit

OF their cries and kicks, as saw YOU do last

How for Love N Lawyer Turned Negro
Minstrel.

His name is Lew. Benedict. His
father was a well known New York lawyer,
who died when the Oldest child was fif-
teen years old. The property left by the faith
er the boy turned over to his mother ami sis
tiers and determined to strike out for himself
At seventeen years of age he entered a law
office, and at twenty one he completed his
studies, and was pronounced young lawyer
with bright future before him.
About this time the young lawyer fell in
love with the daughter OF a wealthy New
York merchant, and the love being recipro-
Gated, he asked pa for his daughters hand.
Pa was indignant, and, to forever kill the
young lawyers ambition, he told him that
when he had $4,000 in cash, his own, he
might ask for the young lady's hand, with a
hope OF success. This was all very nice, but
to the young lawyer just putting on his shin
gle, $4,000 was great deal of money, at
least the young lawyer. thought SO as he figur-
ed how many briefs he must have to make
that amount. Ba 1850
The result of his deliberations was the con-
clusion that if he waited to make this sum at
the bar, he could do so, but by the time he
had done II, he would be SO old that the ro-
nance Of love would be all gone. For long
ten days the young lawyer denounced his fate
and then, after obtaining a promise from the
young lady that she would wait, he disappear
ed from New York. In early life the young
lawyer had quick wit, and one day, meeting a
negro minstrel manager named Duprez, the
latter told him he had talent which would
make $4,000 in five years. In the young
lawyers frame of mind it did not take long to
convince him, and, dropping Coke and Black
stone, he took up burnt cork, under the as
slmed name of Lew. Benedict. a8
For time the new business was harder
than the young lawyer bargained for, but he
made money so fast that his prejudice was
soon overcome. At the end of the first year
he had laid up $1,000, at the end of the sec
ond year $4,000, and now it is said that he
has nearly reached the figure OF $4,000, in
bonds.
All the time he has been in the burnt cork
trade he has improved his spare moments by
a study OF law books, and in another year he
will 60 back to New York with $50 900 in his
pocket, claim the hand OF her he so fondly
loves, and who has been SO devoted to him,
and at the same time again embark in the
practice OF law.-NGtionat Chronicle.

"a sail! a saill'-Enoch Arden'
In the old city market place
saw motley crowd;
The evar-nresent Door were there,
As were the rich and proud;
And in their midst a man there stood.
Whose accents clear and strong,
Rang ont upon their listening ears.
And swayed that mighty throng.
Above his head q crimson flag a1I
Waved in the summer air;
While from his lips no word that fell
Was lost on those who there
Encouraged oft with word and look,
The speakers fiery zeal;
And sly approving mods endorsed
His eloquent appeal.

That like mountain stream
Leaped forth, and yet knew he urged
Some philanthropic theme,
For purses held in open hands,
The common wish betrayed,
To help the cause for which he plead,
And seemed to ask the AID.
"Who is this noble man. and why
This aims does he entreat;
Is it for Cuba, Spain-oppressed,
Or Moslem-t0rtured CreteP

And scarce depressed tear.
