JUDGE KINGsBURY PRESIDING.
FRIpAY.-State VS.. s. D. Roberts, charged with an
attempt to commit rape upon the person of Mrs.
Sophia G. Bracket, a very nervous lady who has
seen some fifty winters. Her story was clear, direct
and unwavering She said the respondent, a young
man about 20 years OF age who had been through
the wars, came to her house under the pretence OF
examining the gas fixtures and to find any leaks that
might be in them. Appearing very gentemanly and
amiabe, he excited her sympathies in his favor He
said he had no friends in the world, and informed
her that she reminded him of his mother who died
when he was about four years old. Mrs. Bracket
ped him for his lack of friends and for the dangers
he had passed. The lady's sympathies were much
excited, and yet she wished he would leave the house
and gave some hints to tina, end He then took her
by the arm and succeeded in pushing her upon a
lounge. She struggle and got away from him and
fled up stairs. He followed her few steps but soon
gave up the chase. Soon after she found her hus-
band and informed him of what had happened. The
respondent pleaded not guilty. and took the stand as
witness in his own behalf He appeared humble
and unassumine. but his testimony did not amount
to much. He was very much in the same menta
condition the witness was many years ago in the
trial of Queen Caroline OF England He answered
mi recordo, and this respondent scarcely re-
membered anything that occurred at the time. He
did not contradict the story of Mrs. Bracket but
membered nothing, being as he said in state of in
toxication. Whiskey seemed to derange his memory
more than any other part OF his system. The truth
is bad liquor has peculiar effects certain persons
In some cases it seems to throw person into
pete state of oblviousness while in others acts
the muscles, and the imbiber shows fight, and again
itmakes him very silly In fact, this latter effect is
very often witnessed in those who imbibe too freely
There were two respectable witnesses who swore to
his general good character, excepting his drinking
habits. After due consideration of the case, the
Judge decided there was ''probable cause" and
bound him over in the sum OF $1,000 with sureties to
appear at the May term of the Superior Court. Not
then finding sureties he was committed. Miller

THE MOVEMENT.

Yesterdays papers have no news OF
Importance i'll regard to the new move
mcnt. A Washington letter to the Bal
nmore Gazette, dated the Goth, con-
talns the following parag raph.
A conversation with the Richmond
committee makes tqui,e clear that they
have no hope OF the present Congress
doing anything for the relief of Virgin
ia. Only few days ago this commits
tee was 6opeful-now they are despon-
dent. General Schofield assured them
to day that there would be no hope un-
til after General Grant Is iuaugurated.
J. s. Barbour, and several other dis
tinguished Virginians arrived to-day to
add their influence, but since their ar
rival, they, too, have become sa tisfied
that it is hoping against hope to antici-
pate such action at the hands of the
present Congress, as would teEd to re-
Neve the embarrassment or restore the
prosperity Of the old Commonwealth.
This is exactly what We expected, and
predicted, and therefore wished the
committee of Conference to consult
Gen. GRANT and not the radicals in Con-
gress. The senate will not..relinquish
power without struggle, nor is it de-
sirable that it should. We look to ends
not incidents. Sooner or later the A.
mcrican people must decide between
the executive and the senate. Our be-
lief is that they will decide in favor OF
the former. Hence the earnest wish

a SMALL POx REMEDY.

A correspondent ofthe Stockton (CaI-

L herewith append recipe, which
has been Ised to my knowledge in hum
dreds of cases. 1t will prevent or cure
the smallpox though the pittings are
filling. When Jenner discovered cow
pox in England, the world of science
hurled an avalanche of fame upon his
head, but when the most scientific school
of medicine in the world-that of Paris
published this recipe as panacea for
small pox, it passed unheeded. II is
as unfailing as fate and conquers in ev-
cry person. 1t will also cure scarlet

THE HANDS.

In order to preserve the hands soft
and white, they should always be wash
ed in warm water, with fine soap, and
carefully dried with moderately coarse
towel, being well rubbed every time to
ensure brisk circulation, than which
nothing can be more etfectulli in prompt
ing Transparent and soft surface. If
engaged in any accidental pursuit which
may hurt the color of the hands, or if
they have been exposed to the sun, lit
tie lemon juice will restore their white
ness, for the time; and lemon soap is
proper to wash them with. Almond
paste is of essential service in prcserv-
ing the delicacy of the hands on retiring
to rest: Take two ounces of sweet al
monds; beat with three drachms of white
wax, and three drachms of spermaceti;
putup carefully in rose-water. Gloves
should be always worn on exposure to
the atmosphere, and are graceful at all
times for a lady in the house, except at
meals.
