Jurors and the Plea of Insanity.

There must be some defence for the public against the plea of insanity now brought up regularly III favor of every murderer for whom no other de fence can be found or invented. This is made manifest by the attitude of counsel in the case of Scannell. Hither to men have been tried on the issue
 not whether they did the act, but wheth
 Ter their insanity did not render them irresponsible now it is proposed tc find a jury in this issue. To such de
 gree is the defiance of justice carried that the lawyers propose to exclude only such as have formed their opinions adversely. Justice, impartidlly, is far from what they want If a man ha; formed his opinions in favor of the defence of insanity-if he believes thaI capital punishment should be abolished under cover of this ruse, he is the man they are eager to secure. They wish
 therefore, only to exclude those whC have formed an n.apinion that this species of defence should be scrutinized with peculiar care, and who believe thai murder should not be committed with impunity under this pretense. That IS tc say, they wish to exclude from the jury ali men of common sense or common honesty, and who are not fanatlcs.- New York Herald, November IT.

 does not seem to give him pain, ard would be to avoid the lire, which 1 did by crawling under the dwelling house and standing in three or four feet of water for nearly an hour. While there, I ran across L. H. Gaskill, stand ing in the water and faint from loss f blood. The stream under the house flows through sort of culvert, one end coming out near the dwelling -hOu 6, only a rod and half from the stor,. MT. Gaskill cautioned me to keep quiet, and he would crawl out and get his needle gun and finish them, but they had all decamped.
 The Mexican killed by F. Gaskiil is young looking man. On his person were found papers showing his name to be Teodoro Vasquez He also had bill of sale for 8 horse sold to some party by name of Martinez; also letter was found dated Tecate, October 16, 1875, signed TeOdora Vasquez, but the body of the letter cannot be under stood without an interpreter. IL is thought by these papers that the rest of the party may be identified, and also his own identity.
 Leaving, they took the road 10 Foit Yuma, and on the way met Simon Miller on Orse-back, whom they rob bed of his money and two horses He reports that there were three of them, one had his head tied up and another was shot fearfully in the neck and thinks he cannot live.
 Help was immediately summoned from all over the valley. A party Of ten men struck out armed to the teeth, and will strike the trail and if possible capture them. We are positive that only three out of six got away but only one body can be found.
 LATER, 5:3O P. M.-The Mexican who was shot and is thought 10 be dying, said he recognized three of them. One who shot L. H. Gashill Is known as Lopez; another WAS recog ized as a desperado from Los Angeles, who the authorities want for murder, and by name Rancho AlvetO; and the other was recognized as man who worked in the valley last Summer shearing sheep for Cenaie, by name Alonzo Arrama COta.
 Indians just in say that one of tho the three is some three miles From here dying. The others had 10 push on without him. Mexicans who have just arrived from Tecatc, do not recOg nize the dead body and say he is an entire stranger to them. They request NIT. Gaskill to write out an order for them 10 MT Gonzales, to have a party start out immediately and think they can track them.
 .. CAMPO, December 6.-Last night at eleven o'clock, party of unkn VII men overpowered and tied the sheriff's guard, seized the two Mexican prison , CTS and hung them.

SAN DIEGO, December 6.-Stdge !, passengers passing Campo this morn - ing say the Arizona stage was stopped - at New River station last night, by l men who appeared to be under the im- 5 pression it was peddler's wagon load , ed with coffee.

THE DEAD LETTER.

And can 1t be7 An, yes, see, 'Tls thirty years and better Since Mary Morgan sent to me This musty. musky letter. A pretty hand (she couldn't spelD, As any man must vote 1t, And twas, as remember we'll. A pretty hand that wrote IL. How calmly now view 1t all, AS memory backward ranges The talks, the walks, that I recall. And then-the postal changesl How. we'll loved her can guess, Since each is Cupid's hostage)- Just one-and-sixpence-nothing less This letter cost in postage. The love that wrote at such a RATE (By JoveI 1t was a steep oneD Five hundred notes q calculate) Was certainly deep one: And yet 1t died--of slow decline Perhaps suspicion chilled il; I've quite forgotten if twas mine Or Mary's flirting killed it. At last the fatal message came: My letters-please return them; And yours-of course you wish the
 same
 I'll send them back or burn them" Two precious fools, must allow, Whichever was the greater; l wonder if I'm wiser now,
 Some seven lusters later? And THIS alone remains! An, we'll! Three words Of warm affection, The faded ink, the pungent smell, Are food for deep reflection. They tell of how the heart contrives To change with fancy's fashion. And how a dIop of musk survives The strongest human passion.
