Honor.
From Every Saturday.

IEOm IfclJ DdbuhNoy-l
We remember reading long ago an
essay on the. Sixth Sense the sixth
sense being the sense of honor. We
suppose it must exist in some degree or
another in every human being, however
degraded he may be. A curious instance
apropos of this is afforded in the case of
Hanlon, who was lately hanged in Phil
adelphia, for the murder of little girl
named Mary Mohrmann. His life had
been one series of black deeds, and his
final crime was revolving beyond express
sion; yet this fend in his last days, with
his hands still red with the blood Of a
helpless little child, was sorely troubled
in his mind because he owed fifty cents
to a detective named Smith, who had
been chiefly instrumental in securing
his conviction. "Ill pay you the fifty
cents | borrowed from you as soon as
anybody comes and gives me some
money" said the conscientious wretch.
Never mind that, John, said the afllu-
ent Smith, 81 don't want it. Let it
&c" Hanlon answered, {" must pay
you, though. My religion makes me do
it." The sense of honor, in fact-the
sixth sense, which made him uneasy be-
cause he owed half dollar, but gave
him no trouble whatever when it became
a question Of strangling a seven-year-
old child in dark alley. Who will talk
of total depravity after this2

Dying Revelations OF the Murderer
of Two Men.

In the month of February, 1864, the
supervisor Of the town of Spaulding, in
Saginaw County, Michigan, was killed
near the village of Salina, having re-
ceiyed two pistol shots in the abdomen,
both of which we're fatal wounds. The
murderer was never discovered, but the
death-bed confession of man named
William Wilson, lately "a resident of
Montreal Canada, reveals the long kept
secret.
1t seems from the account that the
supervisor had received some 500, and
had it in his possession when he left the
village, between eight and nine o'clock
in the evening. Wilson says he and a
companion named Ring determined to
kill him for the sake of the money; and
that he shot him, while Ring took the
money to keep for the benefit of both,
and to afterward divide.
In September, 1864, Ring was shot
dead in front of the Everett House, East
Saginaw, by some unknown assassin, and
now Wilson says that he killed his for
mer companion because he refused to
divide the booty obtained by the other
ASSASSINATION.
Wilson was arrested upon suspicion Of
being the murderer of Ring, but the evil
dence was not sufficient to detain him,
and he was ultimately discharged. He
had been a member of the Twenty-eighth
infantry, and returned to the front, where
he remained until the close Of the war.
He then went back to East Saginaw,
with broken constitution, afterward
removing to Marshall, and made the
above confession just before his death
there

The Cornhill Magazine tells this story:
A French impressario was taking out to
New Orleans an opera company, which
by special agreement was only to include
one tenor. Foreigners are usually bad
sailors, and for the first few days all the
members of the company were seasick,
one of the effects of which malady is
that it weakens the voice so much that
people are frequently hoarse for several
days after their recovery. Accordingly,
as soon as the singers could crawl on
deck, they commenced to try their
voices, and amongst them the tenor, who,
always anxious to occupy distinguished
position, went on the bridge of the
steamer for the purpose. What was his
surprise on hearing an echo of his own
voice-anothert tenor. His amazement be-
came disgust when he heard third tenor
runningup the scale, a fourth, a fifth. He
looked forward, and saw two men eyeing
him and each other with intense hatred;
he looked aft, and saw two others SINH
larly occupied. The five tenors stimuli
taneously made rush below to the man
ayers cabin, and demanded whether he
had not expressly stipulated to each of
them that he was to be his only tenor.
4" / know, l know" replied the manager; ;
and | will keep my word. You see,
none of you have been to New Orleans
before, for the yellow fever is sure to be
raging, and as you are fresh from Eu-
rope, two of you will probably be carried
off before you land, and two more during
the rehearsal. One will probably sur
vive; he will be my first and only tenor.

Doctor Johnson spompous ponderosity
Of style was, perhaps, never better re
buked than by Goldsmith, who was also
doctor, but whom everybody loves too
well to call by his title. The latter was
one day speaking to Sir Joshua Reynolds
about his intention Of writing fable in
which little fishes were to be introduced.
DR.. Johnson, who was present, rolled
about uneasily in his seat and at length
began to laugh, when Goldsmith said,
rather angrily, Why do you laugh II
you we're to write fable for little fishes,
you would make them all talk like great
whales The parody in Rejected
Addresses on Johnson's style is, per-
haps, the best in that remarkable collec-
ton. Parturient mountains have ere
now produced muscipular abortions," is
as complete and as humorous travesty
as one can well imagine So also, he
who would pronounce that our edifice

Oratorx Extraordinaire.

From the Lexington Press.I
4 Since the days of Red Cloud and
Stackpole, no such oratorical bursts
have fallen upon the ears of an expectant
audience as were heard in our court
house on Thursday. The orator upon
this occasion is named Albert Wallace
fcolored), and has been confined in Jail
for some time on the charge OF horse
stealing. 1t seems that he is thoroughly
convinced of the idea that he is a medi-
cine man of the highest order, and soon
after his incarceration he called his
fellow-prisoners around him, and ac.-
quainting them with his powers, offered
himself as chaplain, and, day by day,
has been officiating in this capacity, not
by any means, however, neglectlng the
preparation of his defense.
He prepared his speech, and for two
months has been practicing it for the
purpose Of making his grandest display
before those who were to hold his liber-
ties in their hands. He seemed to think
his speech the only thing necessary to
acquit him, and paid no attention to the
examination Of the witnesses brought
against him in the courtroom yesterday.
Stephen G. Sharp conducted the exam
ination, and when he got through Albert
grabbed some law book from promis-
cuous pile, and declaring to the jury that
this contained all the principles in his
case, fred away as follows;

The Ruling Passion Strong I'm

We have seen floating around among
our exchanges something to this effect
A party were playing draw-poker, and
during the game some of the players
we're disposed to indulge in conjecture
as to what would have been the result il

A matter-offact old fellow in the game,
evidently bent on business, at length got
disgusted with all this, aud impatiently
asked, What the his the use OF play
ing them post-mortem handsP And
speaking of card-playing, recalls to mind
an instance of the ruling passion strong
in death, which occurred here some
years ago. A man, whose name
Il is needless TO mention, had become in
fatuated with gambling. though not a
professional sport He was taken sick,
and for several days before his death
imagined that he was playing cards.
Not long before the closing scene, in one
of these imaginary games, he held his
hand closely up to his bosom and called
ont excitediy: " Bet why don't you bet
round there2' His wife remarked
" NV dear, there is nobody betting.
"Well, then" was the instant reply,
"Tll take the pot" reaching out his
hand and drawing down an imaginary
