THERE are certain persons Ii town who /
make. 4 business Of creating sympathy In
favor Of Mr.. Jaynes, who was lately con-
victed Of q horrible crime. a motion on
his behalf for q new trial Is pending, to
be argued next Monday Although ap-
5prised Of the points upon which the mo.
ton Is based, and familiar with the law
applicable to the case, we venture no pre-
sdiction as to the result. It is sufficient to
say that there is no merit In any point
embraced in the motion for 3 new trial,
except such as results by implication
from q technical violation Of the law. No
appeal to the court is made in relation to
the facts. The crime as charged in the
indictment is confessed by the defendant.
He seeks to avoid the consequences by
technicalities. We do not blame him for
this. No man lives that would not ses-
cape=i in the same way if possible, but his
interest is not@the interest Of the public.
Liberty to him is a priceless boon; but
considerations of public good overshadow
all merely individual interests, and that
man who puts himself under the ban Of
society, forfeits everything but sympathy
and the right to proper punishment. We
do not understand the motive which
prompts in. elligcnt and virtuous men and
women to denounce the action of court
and a jury through whose official instru-
mentality confessed crlmina! meets con-
dign punishment. That is only mock
sympathy which interferes to prevent the
enforcement of legaltpcnalties, and is sub
versivc, not of the law alone, but of So.
cietya and Of good morals, and if INDUCED
will ultimate in exposing virtue to the
commonest embrace of the grossest sensu-'
ality. Mrs. Wilbour testified that after
struggling with her tormcnter until her
strength was exhausted and feeling her
self forsa by man and overcome by
deyil, she prayed aloud to God for deliv-
erance, and that Jaynes laughed at her.
If that was not truth, OF what terrible
blasphcmy is the woman guilty! But
Jaynes admits its truth, and yet there are
those in the community who say he ought
not to be punished! Virtue in the est.
nation Of such must be u jewel. -.

Moving a Printing Office.

Not long since in country village a
fire broke out, and among other places
threatened with destruction was n print
ing-oflice. AS usual there was rush of
excited persons, some of whom proffered
their services to remove any articles OF
value to a place of security. Among the
rest of the volunteers was tall, lank,
tallow. haired fellow, evidently recent
importation from some verdant and Sc
cluded valley. The proprietor entrusted
him with full case of type, and told
him to take it down stairs carefully, leave
it in a place of safety, and return for
another. He seized the case, and, rush.
ing down, reached convenient spot,
where he dumped the contents. Then,
fastening back with the empty case, he
encountered the astonished owner, with
the hurried exclamation: Mister just
fill this ere box up agen, will you2 The
fire is burnin' like thunder" The re-
quest was declined in no complimentary
terms. Cleveland Printing Gasette.

A Remarkable Dog.

Brownie" famous thoroughbred
greyhound of great size, belonging to a
citizen of Boston, recently died of heart
disease. He was II years old, and be-
fore he was brought to this country he
won in England the highest prize a dog
can take in coursing match. He was a
great favorite for his beauty, grace, and
intelligence. His muscular development
and power may be judged by the fact
that his chest girthed fully 3 feet, and he
"took" hedge 10 feet high. Several
artists had painted his picture; and a
cast of the whole body has been taken,
upon which his skin will be mounted,
after which it will be preserved in the
Museum OF Natural History.

THE Managers of the State Institution
for the Deaf, Dumb, and the Blind at
Flint (says the Lansing Republican,
have issued notice that it is free to all
the deaf and dumb and the blind in the
State, between the ages of 10 and 20
years, who possess a good natural in
tellect, good moral character, and who
have no contagious disease. All such
are entitled to the privileges of the in
stitution for the period of eight years,
without charge for board or tuition.
Where parents or guardians are unable
to furnish clothing for their children, it
can be provided at the institution, to an
amount not exceeding $40 per annum,
and charged to the county in which the
pupil resides. All children to be en-
tered for the next session must promptly
reach the institution by Sept. 9.

Gath's Photograph of John MOrrIssey.

Such head was never painted on
shoulders 1t was like helmet inclos-
ing another face. L have heard it said
that his mother could whip any able
bodied man. Surely this is the most
singular of all the pr1ze-fghters. All
his generation is in the grave-Hyer of
liquor, Poole of murder, Sullivan of sui
eide, Heenan of self-inficted disease,
Sayers of success. This man survives
all of them. Once he was the most I'M
against Heenan in the ring i'll England.
He has plenty of people who like him
now, for there is too much of the ogre
about Morrissey to comprehend him
within human lines. A solid, driving
business man, without lazy bone in his
body, passionate, but not voluptuous,
kind to his interiors, independent with
his superiors, diplomatic, but not over
bearing, too, he always reminds me of
the docile giant in the story books, who
no sooner grew mad than he ate one of
the seven little Jacks. He has one or two
sprees year-no more, when he walks
against awning posts and they fall down,
shakes hands with friends who go lame
forever, and exhibits a dreadful picture
of the grandeur and Importance of an en-
ragged Achilles. If this man had lived in
Rome, and been matched i'll the arena
against the early Christians, he would
have suppressed the entire Sect He
would have given more JOY in the Coli
scum than any man of that age. His
physique and his head are his excuse for
pugilism, because no such form was ever
erected for any other known purpose
than to be punched; like some great
Thracian barbarian. he is surrounded
with all the domestic virtues while bat
Ting with every physical and social ele-
ment. His wife trained him for his
great fight with Heenan. He went to
Congress by travelling from door to door
and saying to his constituents that he
had been born so poor and ignorant that
the only way he had to get up in the
world was by his fist, and now he wanted
to wash out that record for his sons
sake, by going to Congress. Go he
did, twice. While in Congress he per-
| formed honestly. There are real elements
! in him, as in the Siberian bloodhound,
but with all his fascination he is still
scarcely a domestication. The great
point about the man is that he is never
| mean. craven nor fawning.

ELHcTreNs occur this year in the fc
louyipcv orIar.

NEARLY every State has a candidate
for Speaker of the Forty-fourth Con-
gress, and while each one wants its own
elevated, there is much talk about the
location from which the successor of
Mr.. Blaine should be chosen. Kentucky
held the position sixteen years through
the services of Henry Clay, John White
and Linn BOYD. Next, Virginia was
represented for thirteen years by Philip
p. Barbour, Andrew Stephenson, r. M.
Il. Hunter, John w. Jones and George
w. Hopkins. Massachusetts, had four
Speakers, serving ten years-Theodore
Sedgwick, Joseph b. Varnum, Robert
G. Winthrop and Gen. Banks. Indiana
had two-John w. Davis, two years, and
SCHUYLER Colfax, six = covering eight
wears. Pennsylvania has given two,
Frederick A. Muhlenberg and Galusha
A. Grow, and wants to add another,
Samuel J. Randall. New Jersey gave
VIM. Pennington, and North Carolina,
Nathaniel Macon. Although the list is
incomplete, it will show the fields from
which the majority of Speakers have
been chosen.
