come interested in the case, and, al
though Harrington was poor man, they
determined to fight his cause to the end.
After long and arduous struggle
through the District and Supreme
Courts, an order for new trial was OBJ
tanned, and that trial has just closed
The main points in the evidence on
which he was convicted were the appa-
rent correspondence of the shot in the
dead man with that in the shot-bag be-
longing to Harrington; the correspond
ence Of pieces of newspaper found near
the scene of the supposed murder, and
assumed to be part of the gun-wadding,
with a torn paper in Harrington's resi-
dcnce and piece in his vest pocket;
and the motive for the murder was to be
found in the alleged fact of Sharp having
come to Toledo with several hundred
dollars of money, which Harrington
knew, and that no one else was so inti-
mate with Sharp. On the second trial
it was rendered doubtful whether here
was similarity in the shot 1t was
clearly proved that the pieces of paper
alleged to have been picked up at the
scene of the murder were not there at
the time Of the finding Of the body, nor
for day or two afterward, and the infer
ence was unavoidable that they were put
there by the detectives to aid them in
working up the case against Harring-
ton.
1t was further proven that Sharp was
destitute when he arrived in Toledo, and
that Harrington was doing his best to
aid him in procuring employment. To
crown all, an dlibi was clearly and salts
factorily proven. Harrington was de-
elared innocent, and the jury volun-
tarily gave him letter, signed by every
member, repeating, in emphatic terms,
their belief of his entire innocence of
any knowledge of the supposed murder,
and bearing testimony to his uniform
good character The public sentiment
unanimously coincided with the verdict.
The former employer Of Harrington i'm
mediately took him back into his service.
1t causes an unpleasant shudder to
reflect that perfectly innocent man, of
good character, suffered two years of
degrading punishment, and narrowly
escaped an ignominious death, for a
crime Of which he knew nothing. 1t is
another warning against placing i'm
plicit trust in wholly circumstsntial evil
dence, and protest against the detec-
tives working up case against one
they choose to suspect.

scottish Morals.

We published week or two ago, a
statement in relation to the comparative
virtue of Scotch women, Irish women,
German women, and women of other
nationalities, which showed strongly in
favor of the females of Ireland. The
Pail Mall Gazette affords an explanation
in reference to the Scotch women, who
showed worse, we believe, than all other
nationalities in the statement heretofore
published. That journal says
Among n number of letters which
we have received on the subject of the
morals of the Scotch peasaniry, there is
one from landed proprietor in rural
county returning high proportion -
illegitimate births, in which he gi,, s %.
explanation of the peculiar habits of
the people which seems to deserve atien-
ton. He denies that the high standard
of illegitimacy is really proof Of inn
mortality, and attributes it first to the
marriage laws of the country, and
second-paradoxicnl as it may appear
to the virtue of the women. The fact
that man can at any time legitimize
his children born out of wedlock by
marrying the mother, tends to diminish
the stigma which would otherwise attach
to these unions. The formal ceremony
of marriage has just the same effect as
regards the offspring whether it takes
place before they are born or at any sub
sequent period, and the mothers con-
science is soothed by this reflection;
while as regards her own character she
is potentially an honest woman, for she
can be made so-as the phrase goes
whenever she and her lover agree 10
marry in due form. And as q rule
Scotchwoman of the lower orders is
proverbially faithful to her lover, and
ultimately marres him."

Mr.. Crittenden, Of Kentucky, was at
one time engaged in defending man
who had been indicted for capital
offence. After an elaborate and power
full defense, he closed his effort With the
following striking and beautiful allegory:
"When God in His eternal council
conceived the thought Of man S creation,
He called to Him the three ministers
who wait constantly upon the throne
Justice, Truth and Mercy-and thus adj
dressed them: Shall We make manT
Then said Justice, %, God, make him
not, for he win trample upon Thy laws
Truth made answer also, o, God, make
him not, for he viii poilute Thy sanetua-
ries.' But Mercy, dropping upon ber
knees, exclaimed, %, God, make him

through all the dark paths which he may
have TO tread. Then God made man,
and said to him, o, man, thou art the

Good saory Of a Kentueky Inage.


From the Hartsville Tenn.) Vidette.l
An incident in the career of the Hon.
Thomas b. Monroe who for over twenty
five years occupied the position of Fede-
raj Judge in Kentucky, will illustrate the
high purity of his character, and may
serve to remind the Judiciary Of our day
how eonscientiously Judges Of the olden
time held the scales Of justice.
A student in the Judges law school
one day asked him if, in deciding a case,
he ever felt any bias or prejudice for or
against the parties The Judge promptly
said: Never but once. I'll tell you the
story. There was an important case,
which was argued with great ability be-
fore me by the most distinguished law
yers at the bar of Frankfort, and it took
two weeks in trial. Every morning as
the court opened little woman, dressed
in black, modestly and unassumingly
came into court, as il unseen, and took
her seat near the door,
Just before the court adjourned she
retired, not without making always a
courtesy. Il attracted my attention. and
/ inquired who she was. i was told that
she was party to the suit then on trial.
When the cause was submitted, and i
was preparing my opinion, | found it
impossible TO dismiss from my mind the
little woman and her courtesy. / began
TO doubt whether l could do justice in
the case. studied the matter very
closely, and finally decided in her favor.
1t involved the title TO all she possessed
in the world. / never" said the old
Judge, was entirely satisfiedghat my
decision was correct until it was finally
unanimously affirmed by the Supreme
Court Of the United States. / feared
my judgment had been warped by the
simplicity and delicacy Of a little woman
in black.

The PcriIs of CireumstantiaI Evi-

A remarkable case, showing the dan
ger Of trusting implicitly to circumstan-
tial evidence, has just been concluded
in Toledo. Nearly three years ago
Robert Sharp was found dead with shot
and slugs in his brain. A man named
Harrington, who had been on intimate
terms with the deceased, was arrested
for the murder. The testimony was
wholly circumstantial but so skillfnlly
worked up by the detectives that
Harrington was convicted and sent TO
the penitentiary. His lawyers had be-

q A Generons Dog.

"There is a well authenticated anec-
dote of two fine dogs of Donaghadee,
SAYS the Messrs. Chambers in their
Anecdotes of Dogs" " in which the in
stinctive daring OF the one in behalf of
the other caused friendship, and as il
should seem, q kind Of lamentation for
the dead after one of them had paid the
debt of nature. This happened while
the Government pier or harbor for the
packets at Donaghadee was in the course
of building, and it took place in the
sight of several witnesses. The one dog
was Newfoundland and the other was q
mastin
"They were both powerful dogs; and
though each was good natured when
alone, they were very much in the habit
of fighting when they met. One day
they had fierce and prolonged battle
on the pier, from the point of which they
fell into the sea; and, as the pier was
long and steep, they had no means Of
escape but by swimming q considerable
distance. Throwing water upon fight
ing dogs is an approved means of put

1t had, and each began to make for the

"The Newfoundland being an excel
lent swimmer, very speedily gained the
pier, on which he stood shaking himself,
but at the same time watching the mo-
tions of his latNantarOnigt who heinr
no swimmer, was struggling, exhausted,
in the water, and just about to sink. In
dashed the Newfoundland dog, took the
other gently by the collar, kept his head
abeve water, and brought him safely on
shore. There was peculiar kind of re-
cognition between the two animals; they
never fought again; they were always
together; and when the Newfoundland
dog had been accidentally killed by the
passage of stone wagon on the railway
over him, the other languished and evil
