The Hidden Hands of Helm.

How little is known of the private
history o. great statesmen, orators,
and writer's! How few of them have
revealed the secret influences, the lit
tie helping hands that shaped and up
lifted the lives of their genius! IL the
truth cou ID be known, doubtless it
would be found that every one o.,
them, as he struggled upward, 6xed
his eyes upon some one human face,
and knew by its smile when he had
won its success How many have
reached heights they never would
have attained. had it not been for the
little white hands, which the world
never saw, that were extended to
them when The bec,llng cliff of diff
Guilty seemed to bar their upward
way. The subtle liens of sympathy
are more visible than the threads
which the sunbeams spin through mid
air. Those between sympathetic
hearts, finer than the finest tissues of
light. have fed great aspirations to
glorious strength and issue. We
know what they did for many Of the
old masters. Dante had his Beatrice,
and Peirarch his Laura, and Thomson
his Countess Of HEREFORD, as q better
aud pnrer inspiration TO his genius
These were not hidden hands for
each poet revealed the one that helped
him. But what they were to Jlse
great writers other hands the world
never saw have been to men Of every
rank and distinction.

A TAYLOR STRAUDER CASE SET
TIED WITHOUT THE INTERVIEW
TON OF THE COURT OF AP.
PEALS.

1t will be remembered that a negro by
the name of TALIAFERRo, or ToLIvER,
was arrested at Martinsburg in this State
several months ago, on charge of hav-
ing committed an infamous outrage upon
the person of white girl about II years
of age and, after violating her, murdered
her. He was arraigned before the County
Court, and sufficient evidence being
found ofms guilt, he WIS committed for
trial before the Circuit Court. When
this Court convened he was arraigned and
tried before jury and pronounced
guilty, and the Judge passed the sen
tence of death upon him-fxing as the
day for his execution the 3Oth Of July,
We believe In the meantime his law
yers applied to the Court of AppealSf.ra
stay of proceedings until the case could
be brought before that Court
under law of Congress,
which il was claimed had been vio-
lated in the selection of the jury
before which he was tried, viz: That
negro was entitled to be tried before II
jury composed, partly at least, of men OF
his own race and color. The Court grant
ed the motion asked and TALIAFERKo
was thus given a chance to escape the
just sentence of the law on mere tech
nicality.
The people of Berkeley county, be-
lieving the gallows was likely to be
cheated of its dues by the craft of law
verS, concluded to settle the case them
selves; consequently, between two and
three hundred men, it is said, disguised
and armed, went TO the Jail in Martini
burg. between the hours of one and Two
o'clock Yesterday morning, took the
culprt from his CELL carried him
about Il mile into the country and hung
him to the limb of tree.
The crowd gained admission to the
iail bv the ruse of taking with them a
man bound hand and foot, who they
claimed had committed some great
outrage, and who must be lodged
in Jail for safe-kceping until
