Before Cunning s. Bedford. civ Judr

Before Cunning S. Bedford, City Judge.
JUDGMENT SUSPENDED UPON YOUTHFUL OFFENDER.
In the absence OF the Recorder yesterday City
Judge Bedford presided In this court and Assistant
District Attorney Tweed appeared for the people
The first case disposed OF was an Indictment
against an intelligent looking youth named John
O'Donnell, VINO pleaded guilty to an attempt at
grand larceny, the charge being that on the sth Of
this month he stole horse and cart worth 5000 the
property OF Hugh Mccain. AS this was the boys
FIRST offence the complainant interceded In his be-
half, invoking clemency. His Honor, after having
had brief interview with the owner OF the prop
erty who recovered it, then as is his custom con-
ferred with the police officer who made the arrest
10 whether O'Donne a professional
thief companion OF bad characters, and being
satisfied that the prisoner was previously OF good
character hts Honor postponed judgment, adding
that If ever he was brought into court again ne
would be punished. The plan adopted by Judge
Bedford in disposing OF prisoners Is emlnenty fair
TO the people and the accused, for whenever II is
reported TO the Court that certain prisoners are no.
torious offenders police officers are summoned to
the stand and make their statements to the Judge
face 10 face with the prisoners, who almost inva.
rably do not attempt to deny the truthfuness OF the
story OF their criminal anteceden's Thus each case
as 1t comes up passed upon with clear Know edge
OF the facts and circumstances surrounding it, and
that, too, with the utmost despatch.

yesterday OF the court This. verdict gave $43, 900
for the plaintiff. In the usual form OF procedure the
the jury was poed, that each might respond to this
being his individual verdict. The name OF Samuel
H. Cornell was called.
.That's not my verdict" said Mr.. Comedian an

an excitement in court.

to be Mr.. Cornell. and on discovering his mistake,
TOOK the latter's name and address, After this
explanation which complicated the case Still more,

The NATIONAL GAME.
Mutual VS.. Mutual Amateur,

The professional and amateur niDes Of the Mutual
Club played their first game together yesterday
afternoon, on the Union Grounds, Williams
burg, before about six hundred spec
tators. O1 course the professionals won the
game, but, nevertheless, the contest was
interesting from first to last. The Amateurs had
never played their nine together before, nor have
any of them had any practice in 'ban tossing'' since
last season, fact which goes far towards
explaining the great difference in the two
scores. On their part Messrs. John Kelly,
walker Patterson and Waden particularly
distinguished themselves, the hrst-named putting
out less than thirteen men on first base. and the
latter "scooping ln three very handsome fly bails
at left field. TN the part OF the professionals all
played with their accustomed skill and effective
ness. although Mills, Ferguson and Pierce are de-
serving OF more than passing notice, Mills having
put fourteen men behind the bat, and the other
two players acqutting themselves In highly credit
able manner. -. q

MORAL NFLUENCE.-The influence OF
a good example is far-reaching for our
experience and conflicts with the world
lead us at times to indulge misanthrop
ic sentiments, and charge all men with
selfish and impure motives. The play
of pride, prejudice and passion, and the
eageness manifested by the great ma
jority of men to advance their own in
terests, often at the expense of others,
and in violation of the golden rule,
cause us to look with suspicion on the
best intent Of others, Arrogance, hy-
pocrisy, treachery, and violence, every
day outrage justice, till we are almost
disposed to distrust human nature, and
become discouraged. But amid all that
is sad and disheartening in this busy,
noisy world, now and then there is pre-
sented to us life of such uniform vir-
tue, that we recognise in it a character
that brings hope for the perfect devel-
opment aud ultimate regeneration of
the race. Such characters are precious,
and such examples should be held up to
the world for its admiration and imita-
ton; they should be snatched from
oblivion and treasured in the hearts and
thoughts Of all who are in process of
forming habits and maturing charac
tar

HEATHENIsMIN San FRANCIsCO.-The
Chinese of San Francisco have lately
consecrated Il new temple: "Among
its attractions are seventy-fye gods.
The principal ones are two which
are placed outside Of the main
entrance to the edifce These
are twenty feet high and thick in pro-
portion, and are dressed in tinsel and
gaudy clothing Of the color of the rain
bow. In the centre of the breast Of
each is small circular looking glass.
One has a foot and neck of a strange
animal. These two giants, or as the
Cinnamon call them, 'bosS Josses,' are
stationed at the door to keep out bad
spirits. The four rooms are also crowd
ed with images Of all sizes, which rep
resent gods Of war, peace, strength, ag-
riculture, etc. A few days since was
the anniversary of the birthday Of the
numerous gods of the northern district
Of the Chinese empire A great many
prayers were burned on small altar.
Fresh pork, chickens, cake, maccaroni,
tea, and other necessaries of life, were
replaced before the gods, and the old
articles taken away. The temple was
crowded all day with Cinnamon.

THE PICTURE OF THE GREAT DESERT.
This picture is great work of art
1t is an oil painting doue in petroleum.
1t is by the old masters. 1t was the last
thing they did before dying. They did
this and then they expired.
The most celebrated artists Of London
arc so delighted with this picture that
they come to the hall every day TO gaze
at it. wish you were nearer to it-so
you could see it better. wish | could
take it to your residedceynnd let you

artists come here every n6rpiDg before
daylight, with lanterns; TO look ats it.-T4
They say they never saw anything like
it beforehand they hope they never
shall again.
When l first showed this picture in,

thusiastic in their admiration Of this

and when he appeared they threw brick
bats at him.
BRIGHAM YOUNG.
Brigham Young has two hundred
wives. Just think of that. Oblige me
by thinking of that. That is, he has
eighty actual wives and he is spiritually
married to one hundred and twenty
more So he may say he has two hun
dred wives. He lives not wisely, but
two hundred well. He is dreadully
married. Hes the most married man l
ever saw in my life.
I saw his mother-in.law while was
there. cant exactly tell you how many
there is Of her, but its good deal. 1t
strikes me that one mother-in-law is
about enough TO have in one family
