Gov. SAFFoRD granted a pardon June 10 to Richard M Hargrave, un- der sentence of imprisonment for life for the murder of Ygnacio Rubio, on condition that he leave the Territory lwith3n thirty days, never to return.
 Ut will be remembered that Hargrave Eas convicted of murder in Yavapai county and sentenced to be hung last September. After the conviction evi- &ence was produced showing that Hargrave had upon several occasions been an inmate of lunatic asylum, ind there were such grave doubts en- hrtained as to his sanity at the time Ae committed the deed, that very general request was made for execu- five clemency from Yavapai county, where he was tried. It appears now that lis relatives in Ohio have sent means to convey him to his home, land the Governor granted condi- tional pardon so that he could go there and be cared for by them.

The Habit of Swearing.

A prominent citizen, who was
seized with a serious affection
not long since, was fully persua-
ded that he was in precarious
condition, and might, within a
short period, hand in his checks.
Suffering very severely one day
from his peculiar disease, and
remembering very distinctly
that one of his friends had but
recently died Of a similar affec-
tion, he called his little boy to
him and directed him to hand
him a Bible. That volume hav-
ing been given him, he turned
to the book Of Job and com
.menced perusing it, reading
chapter after chapter with
marked manifestations of inter-
est. At last he came across a
thought which struck his sense
of right so forcibly that he ejac-
ulated, ''By Cd, that's a no
! ble,sentiment p
a certain young man, who
was addicted to swearing, was
lying nigh unto death, not long
ago, with a fever. He was fire.
quently attended by an nexcelIent
minister, who gave him spiritu-
al consolation and prayed with
him daily. One morning while
the preacher was kneeling in
devout prayer, the patient sud-
denly arose from his couch and
cried out, "d-n that milk cart;
it has come again !" The ex-
PLANTATION was that the ringing
of the milkman's bell never
failed to disturb him, and that
during the course Of the prayer
the sound of the bell came into
the room with such suddenness
and harshness that the patient,
in a half delirious state of mind,
was impelled to complain of it.
Now, in both these instances
there was no intention on the
part of these gentlemen to be
irreverent, but this mode of max
ing their language emphatic,
had grown upon them so insen-
sibly, that they could not use
many expressions without ac-
companying them with a pro-
nOunced expIctive.

A Curious Criminal.

A man named Bouvard was
recently sent to Jail in France
who accused himself, gave him
self in custody, and who sue
ceeded, in spite of the authori-
ties improving his own guilt, and
in obtaining the punishment he
deserved. Bouvard contrived
to escape jail, but growing sick
of his liberty he presented him
self to the Magistrate and ap-
piled to be shut up again. The
favor was refused, and in order
to force the matter he disap-
peared, and in a few days later
returned and confessed to hav-
ing murdered a man in an attic
in a neighboring town. The
case was investigated and the
doctor declared that the death
was the result of an apopleetic
fit. Bouyard thenprovided HIM
self withsome missiles and flung
them at the windows, of the Court
Of Justice. He was then taken
into custody, and on trialrepeat-
ed his confession that he had
murdered, the man whom he had
referred to. To make sure of
the matter the body was exhum-
ed, and it was found that the
skull had been fractured by i.
olent blows, which caused death.
Bouyard was then sentenced to
tenyears' s'imprisonment,atwhic

A Magnanimous Action.

A Spanish gentleman having
in a duel killed a young Moor
ish noble of Grenada, immedi-
ately fed from justice. He was
eagerly pursued, but prOfiting
by a turn in the road, he jumped,
without being seen, to the rear
wall OF a garden in which he
entered. r a.r6
The owner, who was also a
Moor, happened to be at that
time walking in. the garden, and
the Spaniard falling on his knees
before him, related all that had
happened, andagked permission
to conceal himself. r.
The Moor listened with much
pity and generously promised
his protection. He then con-
cealed him in an arbor, and he
left assuring him that at the
hour of midnight he would pro-
vide the means for his escape.
Some hours afterward they
brought the Moor the dead body
of his son, and by the descrip-
ton they gave of the murderer,
he knew it was no other than
the Spaniard then concealed in
the garden. He disguised the
horror that he folt, and retired
to his room, where he remained
until midnight. At that hour
he proceeded secretly to the gar
den, opened the door of the
arbor, and spoke to the Spanish
gentlemanin thefo followingterms;
"Christian, the young man
you killed in a duel was my
only son, my only love, my on
ly hope. l should take revenge
on thee, but / have sOlemnly
promised my word of honor to
save thee" ..at 733ads1ls'i

The Speed Of Railway
Trains in England.

Some interesting details con-
corning the speed of railway
trains. in England have recently
been publihsed. The average
rate of speed at which the
quickest express trains travel is
AZ ( miles an hour, But there
are two lines on which this pace
is excelled. The ten O'Clock
train on the Great Northern
Road reaches Peterborough at
half-past eleven; the distance is
76k miles, and the pace 81 miles
an hour. The quarter to twelve
train on the Great Western
makes the run to Swindon, III
miles, without stopping and does
1T In 1 hour and 27 minutes, or
at the rate of 5344 miles an hour.
There are anumber ofother roads
which make runs at the rate of
from 45 to 81 miles an hour; but
the journeyfrom London to Bath
by the Quarter to twelve trains
is the quickest in the world.
The distance is 107 miles, and it
isdone in2 2heurs and 13minutes,
including a stoppage of ten min
utes at Swindon. The actual
time in trayelingis 2hours and 3
minutes, something over52 miles

A Double Surprise.

An Albany correspondent of
the Amsterdam Recorder tells
the following tale: A promi-
nent lawyer of this city engaged
passage for Europe on the We'd
nesday steamer from New York.
On Tuesday he bade adieu to
his friends and family and took
his departure for New York.
After the first pang Of sorrow
at parting, his banker thought
to look over the counsellors's fl
nances ann arrange them a lit
tie. To his astonishment the
worthy counsellor had over
drawn many thousand dollars
more than he was worth-and
had forgotten to return a large
amount Of securities, private
property Of the banker. Rush
ing over to the counsellOr's wife
for some information, the bank
ter was still more COMPOUNDED
by her discoveries that her dear
hubby" had taken an immense
number of valuables for which
he could have no possible use
in travelling. The banker was
wise man, and accordingly he

hotel where the counselor was
taking repose,, preparatory to
the long voyage before him.
His name stood out in bold re-
lief on the register, and after it

and the hotel clerk was called
into confidence. After some
preliminaries it was determined
to storm his chamber and solve
this gathering cloud, A few

his daughter, whom he suppos-
ed to be miles away7in a board

"Not For Joe."

Two sprightly and beautiful
young ladies of Leavenworth
were lately visiting their cousin,
another sprightly and beautiful
young lady, who like her guests
was Of that happy age which
turnseverything intomerriment.
lfthetruth were told, these three
misses were just a little bit fast.
They were fond of playing prac-
tical jokes, and were continual
ly playing all sonts of pranks
with each other. All three oc-
cupied a room on the ground
floor, and slept in one bed. Two
of the young ladies attended a
party on the evening in question
and did not get home until half
past twelve o'clock. They had
concluded not to disturb the
household and quietly stepped
into their room through the low
window. In about half an hour
after they had left for the party
a ayoung Methodist minister call
ed at the house where they were
staying and craved for a nights
lodging, which of course was
granted. AS ministers always
have the best of everything, the
old lady put him to sleep in the
best room, and the young lady
{ (Fanny who had not gone to the
party was intrusted with the du-
ty of sitting up for the absent
ones and informing them of
the change of rooms. She took
her postin the parlor, and as the
night was sultry sleep overcome
her, and she departed on an ex-
cursiOn to the Land of Dreams.
We will now return tothe young
ladies who had gone to their
room through the window.
BY thelight Of the mOonbeams
as they struggled through the
curtains, they were enabled to
desory the outlines of'Fanny Gas
theJ supposed ensconced in the
bd. They saw more too-pants,
coat and a pair of boots-they
saw it all. Fannie had set the
clothes in the room to give them
a good scare. They put THEN
heads together and determined
to turn the tables on her. ST.
lentlythey disrobed, andstealth-
lily as cats they took uptheir po--
sitiops on each side of the un-
conscious parson; laughing and
screaming, "Ob, what q mani
Oh what a man?" They gave
the poor bewildered minister
such a hugging as few parsons
are able to brag OF in the course
OF a lifetime. The noise Of the
proceeding awoke the old lady,
who was sleepingin an adjoining
room. She comprehended the
situation in a moment and rush
ing to the room exclaimed:
Gracious, it is man! 1t is a
man sure enough" There was
aprolonged consolidated scream,
a flash of muslin and all was
over. The best of the joke is,
that the minister took the whole
thing in earnest. He would
listen to no apologies the old
lady could make for the girls,
He would hear no excuse, but
solemnly folded his clericalrobes
about him and silently stole

The Outlook. for Infancy
A boat lay on the summer sea, ~
The light waves round it leaping,
While laughing sunbeams, bright and free
Play'd o'er an infant sleeping.
And far away that bark in glce
Was o'er the bright deep straying,
While all around the dimpling sea
With zephyrs soft was playing, 81,
And oh! twas sweet, around the child
To see the ripples dancing JI
And oer its brow, so soft and mild,
The sunbeams brightly glancing,
And Oh!I wish that naught might break
The angelspell that bound i, 't
Or from its dreams the spirit wake, S..
That play'd so soft around it.
But when far off upon the sky, ID
saw the tempest lower, ..frfs
A mournful tear, bedimm'd mine eve, ai
For that unconscious flower,
For still that bark, so frail and light, e
Was o'er the pillows sweeping, q
And still within, as fair and bright,
The infant form lay sleeping. i.. 81

That child awake to sorrow, .,
The brightest smile SO swift to fee
That earth from heaven may borrow"
For well knew the angry wave
Would soon in wrath surround it,
And make its wild and lonely grave Il.
Mid ocean weeds that bound it.
All! thus, methought, on life's frail tide
We make our youthful pillow g..
And gaily o'er its waters glide, -.Es
From billow on to billow.
But ah! too soon the angry storm
. Blots cut each vision brightest
And oft, alas! it wraps the form
In which the heart beats lightest.
