Thomas Wright is the name Of the
Washington plug who murdered
Rogerski, the Polish peddler. when
the Justice of the Peace who presided
at his preliminary examination was
about to commit him for trial, instead
of younding his delicate sensibilities
by the usual mandate, " Prisoner,
stand up" be tenderly observed, Mr..
Wright, stand up." 1t is to be hoped
that the other officers with whom Mr.
Wright may come in contact will ex-
hibit the same politeness and consid-
Grafton for monsieur the murderer's"
feelings. Thus, the Judge who presides
at his trial might remark, Mr.. Wright,
let me claim your attention for mo-
ment while | sentence you; and at a
later stage of the proceedings, the
Sheriff might observe, Mr.. Wright
may trespass OH your time for Il mo.
ment while l hang you ?-Chicagt

In Indiana they arc trying to REM
cdy the nuisance of the plea of insan-
ity, in criminal cases. A bill before
the legislature Of the State, provides
that whenever an indicted person il
found not guilty by reason Of his
temporary insanity, the court shall
send him to lunatic asylum for a
term Of years proportionate to his
crime.

DR.. Holland Iectured in New York
last week on "The Social UndertOw.'' =
1t speaks volumes for the intelligence

thirds Of his audience were sufferers
from corns, and supposed him to be a
chiropodist, and that his lecture was
upon bunions and kindred topics.

work, and then came into the room.
House cleaning, Nell !" he asked.
ooh, NO. Why said Nell, look
ing up in sweet unconsciousness.
az thought maybe you had been,
that's all, . remarked Tom, dryly, as
he looked for place to set down.
Nellie quietly pursued her work.
Presently Tom said:
"Paper come this evening?"
"Not yet" answered Nellie.
Tom gave a half sigh.
"Nellie, / met Granger up town,
and he said that he'd call around this
evening" -
every well; probably he won't
come before tea. 1t will be ready
soon," said Nellie, working away in
demure innocence.
Hadn't you better pick up things
a little before he comes?" said Tom,
glancing around the room.
"Oh, no. just let 'em lie" answered
Nellie sweetly.
"But they look so bad 2" said Tom.
"Oh, no, they DON'T said Nellie,
as sweetly as before. "a thing looks
rs well in one place as another.
TOMS face redeemed.
81 never saw your room look like
this BEFORE" he said hesitatingly. Il
should not like to have any one to
step in"
"Why not" said Nellie. i" We
might as well keep things handy.
What's the use of having u house if
you can't have things were you want
to-"
TOMS face grew redder and redder.
He tried to look sober, and then
broke into a laugh. "Oh, that's your
game, is it7" he said "trying to beat
me with my own weapon are you,
little woman"
"Well, don't you like the plan ?"
said Nellie, demurely.
"No, by George, / don't" cried
"Well, then, I'll make n bargain
with you. As long as you viii keep
your things in their place, I'll do the
same with mine and whenever you
don't
"Oh, / will,' interrupted Tom.
"Come, Nellie, I'll own up like man
you've beat me this time. Only just
straighten up this awful room, and I'll
never throw any thing down again.
There, now, let's kiss and make up, as
the children say"
Nellie rose, and laughingly held up
her sweet mouth for n kiss of peace.
And then, under the magic influence
Of her dett fingers, confusion was sud-
denly bahisl,ed, aud when Granger
came around to spend the evening, he
decided that nobody had prettier
wife ora tidier home than his friend
Tom Carter.
Wise little Nellie having once gained
possession Of the matrimonial field,
took good care to keep it until Tom
| was quite cured of his careless habits.
Sometimes he seemed threatened
with a relapse, but Nellie, instead Of
scolding, only had quietly to bring
something Of her own and lay it down
beside whatever Tom had tossed
down, and it was pnt away i'm
mediately, for Tom seldom failed to
take the hint.
And if some other little woman, as
wise and tidy as Nellie, takes a hint
also, the story will have served its
purpose.

a scoundrel and had no right to inter
fere in the contest at New Orleans, and
that the response Of the President to

the federal court against the action of
the State authorities, whose legal
power to count and publish the returns
is unquestioned. What il equally

# slave.driver takes slaves from
one village and carries them through
another the inhabitants Of the second
village have generally NO chance to
rescue them, because the leaders at
tendants are numerous and we'll
armed. A single dealer will buy ac-
cording to his means, from fifty to
sixty slaves, and bring them through
the country in that way. They do not
bring down many at once for fear a
white man should see them and give
information against them, and then
they would be stopped-because Is
mail Pasha has ordered osteEsibly that
the slave trade shall be put down.
General kirkham is unreservedly of
the opinion that the kl.edive secretly
favors the slave trade, while outwardly
disavowipg it. The slaves are brought
down to the coast from the Woolah
Gallas country and the White Nile
about forty eight or fifty days jour
ney from the coast. The better por-
ton are treated very we'll on the way
by the slave-dealers, because they
will fetch better price. II the slave
is of the Nubian race, he has to do all
the dirty work for the others; he il
of an inferior class, and does not fetcl,
so much as the copper-colored. The
Nubians are a flat-nosed, thick Tipped,
and curly haired people. Strong Nu-
bian girls, for servants, bring more
than the boys. The Gallas are of a
reddish, copper color, some of them
remarkable for beauty Of form; and
they fetch a very high price, when
taken to Turkey, for the harem. These
girls are taken SO young that they
hardly know their original country,
and adopt the Mussulman faith. As
to language, says General kirkham,
the trader speaks kind Of gibberish
which the people understand. "Of
course, he knows the country well.
No trader from England could go
through there. There are, l suppose,
about ten languagesin these countries,
all mixed mp together. The King Of
Abyssinia speaks five. Girls and boys,
when they are taken away, do not
offer to make any resistance; they do
not know any thing about it. There
are no traditions in their villages as
to children being taken off by slave
dealers, or as to the inducements held
out to them that they will be taken
to fine country where they can live
at ease. Suppose am one Of their
own countrymen; probably l have an
enemy who has two or three children.
l go quietly and take these children
and sell them to the slave dealer, and
he seHls them away; the children
are lost, and there is no more about
it. There is great jealousy and sus-
picion between household and house.
hold; and it is thus that these fends
and thefts arise" General Kirkham
expresses q hope that the publication
of these facts, confirming those made
by Livingstone. Baker and Stanley,
may more urgently than ever direct
public attention to the iniquitous Nile
slave trade.

From the Christiausburg va Messenger
A young man whose name we could
not learn, wooed and won the affections
of a Miss Price, daughter of Mr. Chap

now resi,!en. of Craig. The parents of
the young lady bitterly opposed her
marrying the youth in question, because
of his dissipated habits. But opposition
only added fuel to the fame, and con-
frmed the maiden in her determination
to cling to her lover through thick and

Last week, learning that Mr. Prise
would be from home, he pro cured bug

with his daughter to West Virginia, to
be married. Ills affisnced was ready

that he should not take the girl from the

women, the lovers continued their pre-.
parations for departure. All things be-

Jus: Put Yourself in His Place.
Before you place on your neighber,
The stigma of his disgrace,
Just try to balance your judgment,
BY putting yourself in his place.
Look well at his surroundings,
At his pies and his cares;
Don't curse the man with your curses,
When he can be saved by your prayers.
Look at his strcngth-his weakness
Test the sursing of his blood;
Decs it flow like gentle streamlst,
Or rush ike turbulent food?
Perchaucc all the earthly training
OF the man was the kind to bend
His mind IN the crooked channel
That led to the bitter end.
1t may be in a single hour
Some powerful impulse came,
1t may be for actions Of others
That he is Eow bearing the shame.
Then lock with tendarest mercy,
On the erring of our race;
And ere you pass judgmen; upon him
Just 'fput yourself in his place"
