baud, the district attorney proved gnat
her husband was thirty ak years OF age
aud married her when she wss only ni
teen years old, in Pennsylvania, by
falsely representing to her that be wse
rich tanner OF Delaware county, n. u
when he was an intemperate teamster
there, and that he abused her after he
brought her TO Delaware county. This
evidence created the strongest kind q
SYMPATHY for her. It became so strong
on the third day of the trial that one
Moore met Judge Balc0nn as he was 60
ing to dinner, and Moore, with tears II
his eyes, besought him to take an equit
able view of the case whes he came to
charge the jury; whereupen Judge Bal
com asked him what he meant by an
equitable view Of the case, and Moore
(cryiug) exclaimed, "Tell the jury the
poor girl did not kill her husband half as
quick as she ought to-" And it is sup
p0sed the jury took, thatview Of the case
when they acquitted her.
HARLAY'S AMENDMENT TO THE CoT-
STTFUTFON.
The Nashville Ua5on and american Of
Saturday says: Mr.. Harlan, eX Secretary
of the Interior, and Senator from Iowa,
has offered q proposition to amend the
preamble TO the Constitution Of the
Uaited States. He wishes it TO acknowl-
edge in terms
: "a almighty God as the source of all r0wer
in civil government and the I lrd Jesus christ
as tue ruler of man kind, and Hls reveal Il Will
as the supreme authority"
Leaving out OF view the inefAble stu
pidity OF this thing, aa well as It's con
fiict with the sacred right OF religious
belief, which the republican theory
guarantees to every ciuZan, we would
simply suggest that It's author should be
watched. Hs either meditStes, or has
already committed, r2scslity of some
kind which this movement Is designed
to cloak. Mr.. Harlan Is indeed, now Ia
boring under grave charges 0ioffieial We

by the Euglish COM manGer OF the gun

them on board. One OF these, suffering
severe pain from Inflammation OF the

guaysn ssrgesnt who retained authority
approached him and with a word made
him silent. Gne word uttered by the
sergeant stopped the complaints. Then
the same official pronounced a hsraDgue
In Guarsni, and which the pilot on board
translated for me as follows: "DJg OF

wounded fighting for that country il

let me hear another gTO4a from you, or I

From that moment the poar sufferer
never uttered moan, although he died
in four hours afterwards, evidently IL
