ARoTTENTOT FABLE.
BY JOEL BENTON.

A leopard. young and little learned,
When from his first trip ne returned,
Striking the k.aal II a ram,
''Good friend subpissively said ne,
PRAY tell me what your name may be.
The ram since he was thus addressed,
Struck his foot fiercely on his breast,
And answered grufiiy, In full view,
Il am the ram but who are you?"
The leopard, at such boldnes, SHE'D.
And very timidly replied,
"a leopard. then. from utter fright,
lie quickly fastened out OF sight.
Arriving home. quite out OF breath,
Glad over his escape from death,
lie met the jackal, whom he told
About the ram So fierce and bold.
30 foolish leop ird." said his fnend.
"Who dare not with sheepscontend!
Tomorrow. IL It's pleasant weather,
Well 90 and eat that ram together.
reXt day they started. but when near,
The RAM who saw the pair appear,
Went 10 his wife beside their nome
And said; II fear our time has come,
For two wild beasts are just al hand,
And how can we their wrath withstand"
.Fear not" the wife said. stake our child,
And when YOU meet the monsters Wild,
Pinch il right well, and IL shall seem
That rayenous hunger makes II scream.
No sooner did the leopard see
The am, his recent enemy,
Than he was once mO.e teriihed;
Bat. heing 10 the jacsal tied
b. leather thongs, twas hard 10 go-
sin, when the ram pushed forward so,
Aud told the jackal then and there
How much he liked the leopard fare,
Aud that his child. from hunger sore,

The leopard started he the wind,
And drew the jicSal 0n behind,

This morning the court was informed on

Immediately returned the property to the
Capitol building, and coming into court
answered the rule served upon them by
saying that they had been informed by
the Governor that the injunction had
been dissolved and that it no longer stood
in the way Of a discharge Of their contract
to tlray said property to the wharf.
Upon the iiling Of this answer the
plaintiffs in the injunction proceedings
promptly applied for rule against the
Governor, both n1 Chief Magistrate Of the
State and as m individual, to answer for
his contempt in thus prcsnmng to violate

Turner in regard to what took place OF
the day when Mrs. Tilton returned to her
home and found her place at the table
occupied by the housekeeper, Ellen
Dennis. When she was unable to control
herself and left the room in tears Tilton
asked Bessie II she did not think his
wife was crazy; this question revealed
purpose which had been too plainly in.
dicated at another stage Of this trial, and
it was one to be remembered when they
came to consider how her husband per-
suaded her to lie as he willed.
He continued his reading Of the testi.

terview Of Tilton with his wife, in which
he accused her Of bringing this girl to use
against him. Why should he fear this it
he was innocent9 The plaintiffs counsel
had had access to all the persons by whom
Bessie Turner had been employed, and to
all with whom she had associated, and
yet not one had been placed upon the
stand to testify against her truthfulness
or purity.
Continuing his comments on the inter

word told by Bessie Turner bore the
stamp Of probability. Such story could
never have been imagined. He then
spoke in praise Of the courage manifested
by Bessie Turner in defense OF Mrs, Til.

informing him that ii he still persisted
in so doing the responsibility must rest
where it belongs, and desiring to know
from him what further steps, ii any, he
proposed to take toward preventing the
execution Of the act OF removal according
to the terms prescribed by the legislative
power of the State.
On receipt OF this note from the Cover
nor, Judge Smith at once replied that
deeply as he regretted the collision thus
brought on between the Executive and
Judicial departments OF the government,
nevertheless a sense Of duty impelled him
to use all diligence to compel obedience
to his orders.
To this note Governor Jacob replied
that in view OF the position thus assumed
by Judge Smith no further argument was
necessary. lie would therefore not dis
cuss the matter further, but would accept
the Courts reply as an expression Of a
determination to still further obstruct
the removal OF the public property from
Charleston to Wheeling, against which
manifest determination he would again,

would take no further steps for the
present towards the removal Of the
property, and that inasmuCh as the
court had assumed the custody Of
the books, papers and records pertaining
to the State offices, in violation Of plain
constitutional provision, he would at
once proceed to have proper inventory
taken Of said property, and that the Court
and all others directly or Indirectly con.
cerned in the obstruction Of the Law, would
be held responsible for the safe keeping
Of all said books, papers and other prop
crty now in the building used as State
House.
Judge Smith holds that his Court has
nothing to do with the custody Of the

Governor further than to prevent their
