ATTEMPTED SUICIDE" AN item
appears under that head, elsewhere in
this paper. The Hdwkeyc of the l4th

and adds that Mr.. Reichard has be-
come deranged On account of heavy
losses. We have made inquiries
among his acquaintance here, and
cannot learn anything to corroborate
the statement. As to the losses, we
understand that Mr.. RS financial con-

Of late, rather than otherwise; and we
earnestly hope he may come out all
right everyway.

Testing her Innocence

The following touching sooue recently
occurred in Partisan court of justice:
A poor pale wan seamtress was arranged
for theft. She appeared at the bar with a
boy eleven er twelve months old in her arms,
her child. She went to get some work one
day, and stole three coins OF 1Of each. The
money was missed soon after she left her
employer, and a servant was sent to her to
claim it. The servant found her about to
quit the rooms with the three gold coins in
her hand. She said to the servant, 81 was
going to carry them back to you" Never
theless she was carried to the Commissioner
of Police, and be ordered her to be sent be-
fore the police court for trial.
She was too poor to engage a lawyer, and
when asked by the Judge what she had to
say for herself, she answered: The day
/ went to my employers | carried my child
with me. 1t was in my arms as it is now
| was not paying attention to it. There
were several other gold coins on the man
tle-piece, and unknown to me it stretched
out its little hands and seized the three
pieces, which did not observe until / got
home | at once put on my bennett, and
was going back to my employer to return
them when | was arrested. This is the
solemn truth, as [ hope for Heavens mer-
cy."
The court could not believe the story.
They upbraided the mother for her inpu-
dence in endeavoring to palm of such a
manifest lie for the truth. They beseught
her, for her own sake, to retract so absurd
a tale, for it could be of no effect, but
oblige the court to sentence her to a much
severer punishment than they were disposed
to infict upon one SO young evidently steep
ed so deep in poverty.
These appeals had no effect except in
strengthening the poor mother pertinscious
adherence to her original story. As this
firmness was sustained by that look of in
nocence which the most sdrot criminal car
never counterfeit, the court were at some
loss to discover what decision Justice de-
manded. To relieve their embarrassment,
one of the Judges pro- osed to renew the
scene described by the mother. The golC
coins were placed on the clerks table Th'
mother was requested to assume the position
in which she said she stood at her employ
er's house. There was then a breathing
in the court. The baby soon discoverot
the bright coin. eyed it for a nome {
smiled, and then stretched forth it's tin,
bands and clutched them in its fingers witt
a r-iser's eagerness. The mother was &C
Quilted.
