THE ACQUITTAL OFMRS. WHARTo,

THE ACQClTIdL VI MRS. WHARTON.
The remarkable trial of Mrs. Wharton
having been decided in her acquittal, the
press comments upon the case and result
with general satisfaction at the latter.
The New York Post says the verdict of the
jury ''is what those who have attentively
followed the course of the trial and read
even in a superficial manner, the evidence
taken during the last two weeks, might
have expected. 1t has brought into prom
inence number Of southern professional
gentlemen whose names were not hitherto
known beyond their own circles of ac-
quaintance, and who have succeeded in
contradicting each other to such an extent
that the public is in state of utter bewil-
derment as to the merits Of their respect
i've claims. One clique of these eminen,
professors. maintained that General
Ketchum had died Of poison, basng their
assertions on the proofs which they claim
ed they had obtained by their analysis of
the stomach of the dead man. The news
paper reading-public, accustomed to place
implicit faith in the dicta of science, at
once received the oracular utterances of
the scientists as gospel truth, and believ-
ing that there was no doubt as to the cause
of General ketchum's death, at once de-
cided in their own minds that Mrs. Whar-
ton was the murderer. Terrible stories
were printed about certain other individ-
uals OF her acquaintance who had died
suddenly. and the "deep damnation of
their taking off" was promptly attributed
to the unhappy prisoner. Public opinion
was so strong against Mrs. Wharton that
to doubt her criminality seemed absolutely
unreasonable.
But one story is always good till anoth-
CT is told. The defence took the bold
ground of impugning the testimony of
the chemists who had analysed the body
of General Ketchum; and they brought
forward professors who declared that the
analysis was SO imperfect that it proved
nothing at all. and who gave scientific
and medical reasons TO show that the Gen.
erals death resulted only from natural
causes.
When it was found that the doctors dis
agreed, public opinion experienced sud-
den change, and as the cumulative testi-
mony in favor Of Mrs. Wharton came pill
ing in as the weakness OF the prosecu-
ton was exposed by the defence; as the
sympathy of the best portion Of the pub
lie became more strongly marked; and as
influential and honorable people. who had
long known the prisoner, testified to her
excellent character, the general impress
sion in her favor settled into conviction
Of her innocence.
The argument of the State Attorney,
Mr.. Syester. which occupied the attention
Of the Court yesterday. was keen and
powerful, and to those whose sympathies
were on the side of Mrs. Wharton, seemed
unnecessarily severe. That it had its
effect on the jury is obvious by the length
of time which it took them to decide upon
the verdict, and by the opposition at first

on THE SUMMIT OF THE ALPS.

A most curious spectacle and well worth
our attention. The warm air of the low
lands has been rising all the morning, and
meeting the cooler mountain air, the in
visible vapor with which it was laden Is
condensed and comes into view. This
accounts for the sudden appearance of the
clouds in the air. They do not come from
some unknown place; they are created
before your eyes. A mere trailing whisp
OF vapor becomes mass of cnmulus
while we look at it. The swiftness with
which the face of nature changes in the
high Alps is something wonderful At one
hour the sky is clear; almost in a few
minutes we have masses of vapor rival
ling the mountains in size. Just now the
mists are forming rapidly and rise about
us on every side. As we stand on the
sloping Platte they blow past our faces,
thin, cool and damp. The fields and
mountains look vague and indistinct
through them. They gather in masses on
the mountain and shut out everything.
As there is nothing to be seen we turn
back to the hotel, and climb the knoll be-
hind the house, sitting down to await de-
velopments.
Nothing lasts long here; change is busy
everywhere. One night the snow falls,
and the irregular fringe of white on the
mountains spreads wider. The sun comes
out and a thousand brooks leap down the
cliffs, and the snow line retreats again.
Clouds gather, and the rivulets and wa
terfalls boil and foam in sudden freshet.
Clear weather follows, and the streams
dwindle abruptly. While we are watch
ing the clouds increase they may begin
to disappear. We saw them form into
air. sweep up past US and gather on the
mountain tops. When they become too
heavy they will fall. There they go now,
drifting in silent procession like SO many
nuns in pearl gray white. They creep
down the slopes and slip into the depres.
sions as if trying to get back into the hap
py valley. They come to the edge of the
cliff and fall over in a cataract. Down,
down they sink till they reach an invisi-
BILE floor, over which they spread. They
can fall no father and floating idly in the
air they seem to melt away. The clouds
becoming too heavy, tall till they meet a
higher temperature and they part with
their visible shape and turn again to va
por.-torrespondent Boston Globe.

COntrOi tneIu. L he teStiInOny Oh our pest cltl-
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of CONSUMPTION,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute As remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack Of Pulmonary Affec-
tions, which are easily met at first, but which
become ncurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and 1t
is unwise to be without it. As safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
mutitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against crdi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influ.
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.
