The body was encased in the new uniform
in which the late Colonel was wont to ap-

waist, his heavy sword was placed at his
side, and his military cap lay at the tip of
his fingers upon bis breast. His hands
were encased in white kid gloves, and pa

large floral crown, the gift of his faithful
attendants, George Barden, was placed at
a table at the head of the casket.-N. Y.

END OF notable MURDER TR1AL-
The Visalia Delta of the 11th instant, sa vs.:
In October, 1870, native Californian
named Bafelas came to his death at the
hands OF James q McCrory, of this town.
McCrory was indicted for the murder, and
when the case came 10 trial III the District
court, the prisoners counsel entered plea
for him of guilty Of mardet in the second
degree, the Court admitting the plea, and
the District Attorney consenting thereto.
ne prisoner was broughs up for sentence.
and when asked what he had to say why
sentence should bot be passed upon him, he
replied that he had not himself uleaded
guilty, and that be then desired to have
thar plea withdrawn, that he light plead not
guilty. This the Court did not allow. but
proceeded to sentence the prisoner to fifteen
years In the Peditentiary. An appeal was
taken to the ,'upreme Court, where the
judgment was reversed and a new trial was
ordered The District Court admitted him
to ball. but be failed to obtain bonds, and
was sent to the State Prison. At the last
October term of Court he was brought
down here to stand new trial, hut the case
was postposed to the January term. On
the 18th instant it was taken up, and after
trial which lasted two days the jury re-
turned verdict of not guilty, and McCrory
become free man again. The more prom
inent points in the history of this case will
be very seldom met with, even in those
mysterious records known as "Court pro-
ceedings"

MEN AS CooKs--Mrs. Jane Swishelm
is in favor of men as cooks, and hy way oI
illustration relates the following: ~ never

which leads all boys to want to bake grid

open prairie preparing his evening meal
He had large fish broiling on the Goals

bucket He heated and creased long
handled sheet-iron frying pan, poured in
enough batter to cover the b. tom, set it
over he fire, kept on serenely attending
to other matters, as though no ''Hapjacks"
were in danger of being burned, as it
would have been if any woman had set 1t
to bake; but Just at the right moment he
came up, looked in the pan, took hold of
the handle, shook it gently, then with a
sudden jerk sent the cake spinning into
the air caught it as it came down square
in the center. with the OF er side up. The
cake was turned as no woman could have
turned it, and with an ease that showed
that man was in his proper sphere"

Nor SATIsFIED.-A year or two ago
South Carolina adopted new "Code of
Procedure" The Charleston Courier says
Of it.
1t is simply the offer of premium to
imbecility, and has the contempt of every
man who desires to see the ends of Justice
attained Litigation has become so ex
pensive through the machinery which has
been adopted by the courts tn It the honest
lawyer is obliged to advise his ellen: to
submit to wrong rather than to risk the
chances of obtaining his rights under the
processes which the code makers 10 their
wisdom have adopted. The system has
been tried and found waning. The con
deWnation which it met with from The
ablest lawyers in New \ ork has been
strengthened by the experience of every
lawyer 10 this State The object Of codes
is to expedite the cause of justice. The
code which has been adopted operates only
as bar This should be changed not
hastily, but after due celebration, and
after consultation with the aolest lawyers
In the State.

in Boston, which resulted as follows:

ne reminded her of young man she used
to know in Waltham. Purity soon the
young man got out, and smilin' iu seduc-

"Don't remind you of somebody you

GRANTS RENoMINATION.-T over
whelming leaning of the Republican party
1t this moment toward Gen. Grant has its
basis in good and sufficient reasons, found
in his administration and we know of but
one man who can change this attitude, and
that man is himself Let him continue to
conduct the Government with the same
discretion, wisdom, and fidelity that have
hitherto distinguished his official career,
and he will continue to retain the conf
dence and esteem of the people This will
make him the nominee of the Republican
party and the ele Of the people next fall;
and that. too. in spite of all opposition,
either in the party or out of it. The effort
to divert Republicans from this purpose
by attacking General Grant is at least
simply a waste of powder He has too
many solid recommendations, and has
managed the Government too wisely and
too we'll, to be laid aside to crafty not
more than half dozen Republican polite
ians, who have taken it into their heads to
oppose bis re- nomination. The best thing
they can do is quietly to accept the inevi
table, and console themselves with the
reflection that the solicited wisdom Of the
party is quite equal to their individual

VAST EXTENT OF THE SACRAMENTO

south; to Shasta on the north, contains
3.S4O,0O0 acres Of level valley land and if
the rolling foot hills were included, to an
elevation of $500 feet above the level of
the sea. Cor as far up as the cereals can be
raised the number of acres would be
doubled, or would amount to at least seven
millions aud half IF all Of this land were
sown in wheat, and the small crop Of fifteen
bushels to the acre only was reaped from
it, the total crop would amount to 112 800.

STATISTICS OF IGNoHANCE--The fact
ascertained by census returns, that there
are 5,660,074 illiterate persons IN the
Uuited States, is not " ry favorable omen
for republican government. The proper
ton is about one in eight of the population
Of this mass of ignorance the Northern
States claim 690,l17; the Pacific States
and Terriores 1888, and the Southern
States 4,117,5S9, of whom the greatest
proportion are blacks In view of such
facts no time should be lost by Congress
in providing school and school funds for
the South, and enforcing regulations for
general education Nor should the North
ern States hesitate to redeem themselves
from such stigma. Ignorance and bar
barism are twins # common parent, and
it is manifest that no legislation can redeem
the South while such population pre-
dominate. The evil, less manifest in the
North, is not less fatal to every purpose of
good government 1t should be held
fundamental proposition that every child
in the United States is entitled by right to
the means of education, and that it is the
duty of the Government to see to it that
the right is enforced. Unless this is done
the evil will grow steadily upon us, and
in time the nation lapse into the tame and
dull stupidity that marks the population
OF so many other countries in the old world.
Ignorance rs ever an aggressive force, and
