THE conviction of Stokes for the muir
der of Fisk will not surprise any one who
has carefully read the testimony in the
case; but it has proved very general
surprise, as it indicates ''new departure"
in the conduct of jury trials in New York
city. The doubt about the influence that
would be brought to bear upon the jury,
and the wide difference of opinion concern
ing the motive and extenuating circum-
stances, have been resolved by a verdict
of guilt which nine persons IN ten
will regard as just, and which will no
doubt exercise a wholesome and restraining
influence on all those who are inclined
to constitute themselves court for the
trial and punishment of individual offences,
The killing of Col. Fisk was one of the most
wanton acts of personal violence ever COM
mitted in this country, and the perpetratoI
of the act no doubt relied upon the genera
character of a New York jury as sufficient
guarantee of escape from the legal conse
ouences of his crime. 1t is to be hopee
that this salutary vlndication of the law
will not be robbed of its wholesome effec
by any mistaken clemency to be hereatte'
exercised.

MRS. LYDIA SHERMAN, one of the
"mordern Borgias" in the poisoning line,
who was convicted some months ago in
New Haven, Conn.,, of having poisoned
her last husband, has made full confess
sion of her crimes. She confesses to having
poisoned no less than six different persons,
but denies having caused the death of her
second husband who died very suddenly
and unaccountably some years ago. She
seems to be most singular compound of
devil and divinity, for she has got string
of very pious people deeply in sympathy
with her just now in her devotional exer-
cises.

TYNDALL's scientific lectures have
been great success in New York. The
Tribune says that "to certain extent,
they mark an era in scientific affairs in
that city, New York having for years had
poor reputation in matters Of that kind.
Professor Tyndall touched the keynote
when he alluded to the fact that the major
itv of Americans OF wealth and liberality
overlook the need of fostering science.
Nothing could be of more service to the
country, and Mr.. Tyndall deserves the
appreciation he has received in New York
as well as in Baltimore and Boston, where
he has lectured.

THERE was splendid meteoric shower
in Greece in November, and more won
derful one at Suez. AT that point 10000
meteors fell. They are thus described
"Most of the meteors were of blush
white tinge; but in the northern sky there
were great numbers of intense brilliancy,
which changed from violet to red, and shot
down, in changing, from Cassiopoeia to
the horizon. Near the radiant point they
moved very slowly, increasing their swift
ness of flight in proportion as they emerged
from the spot of apparent origination. The
colors named were not the only ones OBJ
served, for there were likewise various
shades of delicate green. of yellow, and o.
vivid crimson"

For us who have invariably maintained
that the great need of the Southern states
was education, and who have constantly
advised our people to devote their energies
to the work of the enlightenment OF the
masses, it is very gratifying to observe the
earnest, thoughtful attention which the
subject is now everywhere receiving. 1t is
beginning to be seen that, no matter what
fioe theories of individual and family lib
erty may thereby be rudely brushed away,
the safety of the state rests in the intelli-
gence of its citizens that this intelligence
can best be secured by making education
compulsory and that the prosperity OF
states, as well as of nations, is almost al
ways in proportion to their intellectual cul-
ture. Hence the growing demand for a
system Of public schools, common to all,
high and low, upon which attendance shall
be made obligatory. The serious and
sincere manner in which the press OF the
South, irrespective of past political differ
ences, is beginning to address itself to the
solution of this grave problem, is one o
the most encouraging signs of the times.

THE PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL
RAILROAD is said to be reaching out its
benefcent but iron grasp towards Boston
as the rival of New York in some OF its
more extensive branches of trade. The
managers of this road intend that it shall
lose none of its prestige as a rival of the
Erie and New York Central in competing
for the trade Of the far West as we'll as the
farthest East. The following, from the
Boston Journal, will show the new project
on foot:
Bostonians may soon look for another new
route westward. The Pennsylvania Central
| railroad, it is said, intend to build bridge
| 16nO feet long, from Fort Clinton TO Anthony's
| Nose, on the Hudson river, thence connecting
| with their roads at Jersey City on the one side
| and via a new line to be built almost parable
| with the N. Y. & N. ii, railroad on the other,
| and the b. H. g. +. railroad to this city. Mat
tiers are said to be progressing that way, very
| rapidly.
