The TRIAL or Stokes is slowly progress
ing in New York, the defense attempting to
show that the homicide was not premedi-
tated. On the opening of the case On Sat-
urday the counsel for the defense continued
their efforts to show that the meeting between
the prisoner and Fisk was purely accidental,
and not by generalization. The witness who
was absent on Friday was put upon the stand
and Stokes's movements from the time (4:I5
p. IN. } when he parted with d. P. Ingraham
Jr, until he entered the hotel. eight or ten
minutes later, were clearly stated. Judge
Iugraham by a ruling, the correctness of
which as a rule of law he was himself doubt
full, excluded a conversation between the
witness and the prisoner by which the defense
proposed to show that Stokes went into the
hotel for a proper purpose; but enough was
elected to establish that he was there in
search Of lady whom he had seen at the
window, and recognized, or thought that he
did.
The defense, having thus shown Stokes :
movements down to the moment OF the shoot
ing, turned their attention TO what took
place on the stairs. Thus far they have on
ly endeavOred to impeach the testimony OF
the two hall boys, Redmond and Hart, one
Of whom they maintain was not present, and
the other was so frightened that he could
not correctly tell what he had seen. The de
tense have no witness Of the shooting except
Stokes, but they produced one yesterday who
er tered the hotel before Fisk was picked up.
and who swore that Fisk said 80 him q lie
was too quick for me this time. The defense
claims that this had reference to Stokes, ami
that the inference to be drawn from it is that
Fisk was armed The same witness also
swore that Fisk's coachman had told him
that his master was armed, but this the
coachman denies having said. The only
other material evidence was that Of a porter
in the hotel, who testified that fifteen minutes
after the shooting he had searched the sofa
on which Miss Hall, four hours later, had
found the pistol, and he had discovered moth
ing. 1t is understood that the defense will
make the startling charge that the pistol
found on the sofa was not Stokes s but Fisk :,
and that it was placed there Ly some ono
anxious to have II appear, for the sake OF the
dead mans character. that he dad not ~
armed.
The prominence Of private counsel Of Erie
and the presence of old Erie officials in the
courtroom has caused general comment, and
Judging from the remarks Of the audience
has created some little sympathy for the
prisoner. How it affects the jury can not,
Of course, be guessed, but the audience, for

our corn feeding the world, and the cleaning
ensign of the republic floating, an emblem
of our power, over the remotest ocean and
under stars unknown to our armament. We
still make cotton, and commerce and corn our
national deities, with, perhaps, the addition
OF Jupiter to hurl our thunderbolts. And
for the sake of this material splendor and
greatness of national empire, we make
gigantic Juggernaut of the State. and count
ourselves happy if we may but help draw
this magnifcently emblazoned car, or even
be crushed to death by the triumphal pro-
gress of its ponderous wheels, content to die
if we but see the flag still floating above this
idol of our worship.
The State IS not an end. 1t Is only a
means. 1t is to be preserved, because with
out it there is the chaos of conflicting self
seeking without order or law. 1t is, like the
church, something to be neither worshipped
nor glorlfed, but only an agency IN saving
the world. The State perverts its powers,
when 1t seeks greatness and grandeur. Its
only aim should be the manhood of the peo-
pie, and this is most surely reached, when
man is left with the utmost freedom, limited
only by like freedom in others, to exercise
every power and faculty given him in his
creation.
Many States excel Vermont in extent Of
territory, IN pOpulaLiOO, IN fertility OF SOL
in variety Of resources, but we boast that we
produce men and after all man Is. or ought
TO be, counted Of more worth than the acct
dents of his birth or mis- accumulations

resting place, in a how much higher sense
should man be the central figure in the
shapely and well proportional State. Then
our material prosperity, the vastness OF our
resources, the splendor Of a national fame
can only be valued as they bring back again
to the individual the opportunity and the
liberty for the best developemens Of the
forces which make him master Of the uni
verse Thus we shall bring man and the
State to their true relations and shall look

ROMANCE vs. REAMrY-A WHITE WoMAN 5
EXPERIENCE As AN INDIANS BRIDE.-The
telegraph a day or two ago reported the
escape from the Indians of a woman named
Amanda Barber formerly Of Milford, Mass .
who in a fit of romance married a Sioux
Indian chief at Washington a few years ago,
and accompanied him to his home IN
Dakotah, with the icea that she could
perform the role Of missionary among the
savages Of that region. Miss Barber arrived
at Kansas City, Mo, in a steamer, on the
2Sth ult., aud the Times of that place gives
the following narrative of her not very
pleasing experiences:
:. Miss Barber created quite a sensation IN
the Eastern States by her marriage with a
young Indian named Squatting Bear, who
accompanied a party ofSloux 10 Washington

Indian tribes, from the reports Of the
Commissioners of Indian Affairs down 10 the

temporary insanity, she offered herself and
