special attention. Artistically, it has
many features of the first excellence.
The first engraving is THE New

lection. Then we have another pair
of companion pictures, Confession,
and The Stiffness of Death" both
worth world of study for their true
conception and faithful execution.
Then follow Happy Hours of Child

A Cor pse i m the Air.

The Paris corr espondent of the
Philadelphia Press writes: 'sOne
of the strans sest and most horrible
of sensation al in cidents took place

of children who were playing in the
environs d1fscov cred floating in the
air and partly entangled amid the
branches of a tTee a white parcel

or thirty little red toy balloons
which we're a ttached to it. The
attention of the police being called
to this sing 1lar object, it was
brought dow n and the package
opened, which proved to contain
the corpse of a new born infant.
Investigation s into the matter
brought to Ii ght the following facts:
The child WI rs that of a poor toy
maker and his wife; just after the
confinement, of the latter the hus
band had died suddenly, and all
the househ old goods and chattles
had been s eized for rent The IN
happy won ian was driven mad by
this accur mutation of misfortunes;
she killed her infant, and then went
out and threw herself into the river,
leaving behind her written paper
in which she declared her intention
of CONN aitting suicide, and said
that she had gotten her baby all
ready to go up to heaven A sad
der tale with stranger termination

balloons. evidently had formed part
of the dead husbands stock in

A Thrilling English Court Scene.

just before Christmas there was
truly dramatic scene in an Eng
fish Court at Chester, which will
be memorable among the incidents
of the bench and bar. The usual
solemnities of such tribunals
pecially in England-were laid
aside, and the Judge became the
savior of prisoner, and the throng
ed audience in the court room
burst out in enthusiasm.
Mary Lancaster was married to
a s'brute." Her husband lived off
her earnings, and she worked her
fingers to the bone to support him.
He was in the habit of beating her
severely, too, to cement their I'm
happy union. One day he came
home half drunk, and commenced
his domestic amusements by kick
ing a joint of meat which was
roasting before the fire into the
cinders. He then seized his wife
by the hair and dragged her around
the room, and beat her between
whites.
In desperation the woman picked
up steel and threw it at her hus-
band. The point entered his skull,
inficting injuries from which he
died. Mary Lancaster was arrest
ed, and it was found that her body
was covered with bruises some of
them of long standing It was
evident she was habitually brutally
abused by the man she had killed.
She was tried at the Chester ASST
es, and the jury found her guilty of
manslaughter. It only rem lined
for the Judge to assess her punish
ment and condemn her as q con-
| vict. The court room was crowded,
and every man and woman there
| was the prisoner friend.
The Judge commenced by assert
ing that there were facts and dep-
ositions even worse than those
named at the trial. Then address
ing the woman. he said:
ssAll the real right in this case is
ON your side, all the real wrong on
your husbands, and God forbid
that L SnOuIu punlsn you. Will
be no party TO it. will not even
make this judgment complete.
will not even allow it to be said by
anybody that you are a convicted
felon, for conviction is not com
plete until sentence is passed,
and I mean to pass no sentence at
all"
Then there -vas loud applause
in the court room which the court
crier forgot to quell. 1t was an
out burst of sympathy above the
rules of court decorum. The pris
oner was then discharged on her
own recognizance, to come up for
Judgment when called for, but the
Judge said in conclusion: ''Nobody
in the world will ever call upon
you. God forbid they ever should.

alcohol. Once addicted to it, the VIC
