lFrom the Bee OF saturday EVENING"
Mrs. Fans TnAL.-Moally 1t was
no crime for this woman to kill Crit
tenden, for If ever a disloyal husband
and traitorous father deserved cruci-
fixion, he did; and 1t would be n
choice blessing to the world II all men
who behave as he behaved were 70 pun
ished; and If Mrs. Fair had herself
been without blame, there could scarcely
be found a jury In the State that would
hang her for this deed; and even as 1t
Is, It Is five to one that she be allowed
to 20 free. But the insane dodge will
hardly do. If she was insane, then we
have no. sane people among us, aud
anybody can kill anybody and be set
at liberty on the same plea. Indeed,
II this plea prevails, we may say with
the old Scotch reformer, Robert Owen.
that "the world Is one great mad
housed" But the jury will be Inclined
to clear her any way, on the ground,
mainly, that 1t was nc crime in her to
kill Crittenden ; and the plea OF In
sanity can possibly be proved to will
ing minds.
DANCERS CAPRI. FooLED About
half-past l o'clock last night, at the
Unitarian party, some fifty or sixty
couples were on the floor for the last
dance. With considerable labor the
managers got the dancers arranged
and gave the signal for the music to
strike up, In response to which came
the solemn notes of The Dead March in
Saul. All eyes were turned upon the
orchestra, and there sat the musicians
with their backs to the audience, pour
ing forth the m%ournful dirge. The
situation was an embarrassing one, as
the music was not exactly Of the kind
to exhllarate q dancing party. A few
of the dancers saw the point Of the
joke, however, and sat down, but there
was hurrying to and fro among the
managers and Others, when suddenly
the musicians wheeled about and COM
menced playing Home, Svest Home.
The hall rang with shouts Of april
fool and laughter.
