THE GAsTON SAFE ROBBERY.
rne rri'onss I, Plead. !; !; s:.s sunny ana is

Justice is sometimes very rapid in her
evolutions in Memphis, fact brought to
view by the CASTOR safe robbery Of last
Monday night. The accused, Tony
Benise or Bennocci, was arrested on
Tuesday morning, was indicted Tuesday
afternoon and was called up to plead to
the indictment this morning. The evil
dence in the case was so direct that no
chance Of escape was left to the pris-
oner. He pleaded guilty to the indict-
ment to day, and the case went to the
jury without the introduction Of any tes-
timony. The prisoner was deeply af-
feeted when he pleaded guilty, and the
jurors feeling some compassion for the
prisoner took the Indictment, retired
for few minutes and brought in a YER
diet of three years Imprisonment in the
State penitentisry, the minimum term
of Imprisonment for grand larceny. The
prisoner will be sent up to Nashville
with the next batch Of prisoners. He
confessed his crime, gave up the money
and admitted his offense, giving only as
an excuse drunkenness, the fruitful
source Of woes unnumbered.

To the Editor of the Ledger;

10 llc VI llcuBtTs
On reflection find that the language
used in my card of Monday evening is
calculated to misead the public, and to
be interpreted as rejecting upon Colonel
Duff, which did not intend to do, and
therefore desire to correct it so far as
to do justice to him. The petition was
handed to me, as stated, in the First
Circuit Courtroom, Colonel Duff stating
that it was an application for Hackett s
pardon, drawn by Judge Wright. Col
Duff used no qualifying words, and as
knew that the prosecutors had before
recommended the pardon, | signed it.
No blame could attach to Colonel Daft
for my not reading the petition, as it
was not his fault that did not. On
Saturday called on Colonel Duff for
the petition to take copy, and he
asked il | wanted to withdraw my name.
He told me that he had given copy to
the Loeweastnes, but that | could see
the original Monday. | am satisfied
that his departure for Nashville on Sun
day was caused by information received
AFTER he saw me, and not by any desire
to deceive. There was also added to the
petition positive disclaimer of any in
tention to reflect on counsel or the court.
This much is due to Colonel Duff.

ROwdyism 1t Harvard.

If college students will persist in be.
having either like full-grown black.
guards or badly prccocious boys, they
must take the consequences.
A few days ago, two members of the
Sophomore class at Harvard College in
suited two reputable women in the
street; one the wife, and the other the
daughter of respectable citizen. Sub
scqncntly they were identified by the
ladies, and the affair coming to the
college authorities, both these foolish
young men were, after u proper investi-
CATION, expelled.
Both these lads may now laugh at this,
but if they have any manly elements of
character, the time will surely come
when upon the lowest grounds of pru-
dcnce, if upon no other, they will bitter
ly repent their silly indiscretion. We
can tell them that they have thrown
away chances which may never return,
and opportunities Of study and of useful
acquisition which busy men advanced in
life and harrassed by daily cares hunger
for in vain. They have wantonly
cast behind them leisure seclusion, the
assistance of accomplished and willing
instructors, and the indispensable aid Of
well-farnished libraries and museums.
II they have not made fatal mistake,
they have at least run the risk of it.

went home to his clearinghouse at .
late hour ore night lately, and thinking
to give his landlady sensation, marked
his face, in spots with red keel. He
walked into the sltting-room and had
taken seat by the fire before the spots
were noticed. The landlady, all absorb
cd, looked up from her work in mo-

asked, in evident alarm, "Why, Charlie,
what on earth is the matter with your
facet" "Don't know" replied Charlie,
"but guess it is only varioloid." Then
occurred q scene better imagined than
described. The landlady was at first
paralyzed with horror, but recovering in
. moment, she rushed to the door, open

ed ut the top. of her voice, and, deaf to
all expostulation from poor Charlie, she
hustled him out without his overcoat.
In moment she opened the door and
kicked his overcoat and cap out, as

her hands. Charlie stood out in the
cold, completely bewildercd with the un-
expected turn affairs had taken, when
he heard q window raised, and a gentle

plunge in the snow, and, sure enough,
there was Charles new trunk, with all
his store clothes and personal effects.
The practical joker sought the first shell
tcring roof at hand, but took the prccau-
tion to wash his face in the snow
