held in the name of family friends

A Sad Story,

Two peasants, husband and wife,
named Retty, live at Plessis-sur-
Marine, near Paris. They have a little
COY aged six, to whom they are uni
formly brutal. The other day the
child became weary of life from be
ing beaten so often, and descending
to the court yard where = ferocious
bull dog was chained. he approached
the animal resolutely and said tom
do you wan: to eat me up?" The
dog looked up and growled, but did
not move. Tom" said the little
one, ''you must eat me, because papa
beats me too much ard then l promi. e
you am good to eat. See l shall
not resist :" and he threw pebble at
the dog, who springing fercely at the
boy, threw him down and fastened
his teeth in the shoulder. At this
instant a neighbor jumped through
the window, and driving the bull dog
away saved the child.

JESSIE " oOdsOn, the negro who
murdered Mrs. Jarratt, was taken
from Murfreeshoro Jail last Thursday
evening by a party of lynchers,
and hanged on the old tree on which
was hanged Joe Copeland and others
some four year ago. The trial of the
negro had been commenced, and the
act seems to have been unnecessary
though the murder was most cruel
one, and rs the little children of Mrs.
Jarratt found her lying dead with a
rope twisted about her neck by means
of stick. the little creatures by the
most heartrending and endearing
cries, endeavoured to arouse her from
her strange sleep. The sight vas
enough to bring tears from strong
hearts, and as the devil wanted jesse
we don't regret that he got at him.

PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.

We venture the prediction that
the Inauguration of secret cxecu-
tions will either blunt the public
jealousy as TO the value of free in
stitutions or excite shudder not
easily distinguished from that OK
cited Ivy the stab of the midnight
murderer himself. Just now it is
popular amusement to anlmad-
vert upon the brutal developments
evoked by the assemblage of a large
concoursc Of people 20 witness the
strangulation of condemned cuI~
prit. A few years ago we had an
epidemic revolt against capital pun~
ishment. Recent years, marked
by frequent murders and rapes,
have brought very wildly before
us the absolute necessity for the
preservation cf the death penalty.
So much so that it has even been
attached to our statutes regarding
theft. a few years Of despotic
government, which should over~
ride the right Of trial by jury and
the custom of allowing the people
to witness the manner in which
the law takes human life, would
serve to check very suddenly tLis
cutlery against public exc
cntions. Let lis not forget the Sc
cret Inquistion Of Phillip II, nor
the bloody, but dark dominion of
the Doges of Venice, who when
they had marked their victim made
very sure that the wo!ld should
never know what became Of
him. Secret executions viii be
the stepping-stone to secret trials.
How much more revolving is the
public taking off of John Webb,
than the public trial of Bcecher (?
Our liberties are to be lost by de-
grees when they 90. How strong
a thing our National Constitution
was can only be fifty portrayed by
the memory" of how weak thing
it became in an hour of popular
fury. But for Andrew johnson it
is doubtful if we had retained it in
a recognizable shape.
If we desired to brutalizc an ex-
ecutioner, We would allow him to
step behind a curtain, or wall and
there put secretly to death, as he
might choose, the poor devil con-
dcmnod as unfit to live. Let him
do this sad work before the world,
and its effect is very far different.
MAY the day be very far distant
when the death Ienalty shall be
executed in secret.

SENATOR Jno. w. Johnston is out
in letter opposing Scott's Southern
Pacific r. Il. enterprise, which he re-
CARDS a premcditated effort to con-
vert the Southern pass of the Pacific,
into a northern enterprise, thus for
ever cutting the Southern States out
of route to the Pacific. The Rich
mond Disputch opposes the Senator
in this view, aud says we might as
we'll reason that if Southern men
should lead in the enterprise, the
North would oppose If. because it
would be a Southern one. We beg
leave TO consider this assertion rath-
er pointIess. The North has ore
Pacific road. and should be quite
willing to allow the South to have
the other one.

Plain EaIk From n Judge.

At Rome, Ca, recently four young
lawyers. who had just passed al ex-
animation, were addressed as follows
by Judge Underwood:
"HOung gentleman, | want to say
a thing or TWO to you. You have
passed as good examination as usual -,
perhaps BETTER but you don't know
anything. Like those young fellows
just back from ;heir graduation co.'s
lege, you think you know a great
deaf That is a great mistake. If
you ever get to be of any account,
you will be surprised at your present
ignorance Don't be too big for
your breeches. Go round to the JUS
tees court. Try to learn something.
Don't be afraid, Set off apon a high
key. You will. no doubt, speak a
great deal of nonsense, but you will
have one cOnsolGtion-nobody will
know it, The great mass of man.
kind take sound for sense. Never
mind about your case-pitch in.
You are about as apt to win as lose.
Don't be ashamed Of the wise looking
Justice. He don't know a thing.
He is a dcad-beat on knowledge.
Stand to your rack fodder or no fod
der, and you will see daylight after
while. The community generally
sGPpoSes that you will be rascals-
There is no absolute necessity that
you should. You may be smart with
out being trickey, Lawyers ought to
be gentlemen, Some of them don't t
come up TO that standard and are a
disgrace to the fraternity. They
know more than any race generally,
and not much in particular They
don't know anything about sand
stones. carbonilerous periods, and
ancient land animals known as fossils.
Men that make out they know great
deal on these subjects don't know
much. They are humbugs-superb
humuugs. They are ancient land
animals themselves, and will ultimateN
ly be fossils. You are dismissed with
the sincere hope of the court that
you will not make asses Of yourself. +"

LAST Friday was hangman'S day
in East Tennessee. John G. Webb
at Knoxville, for the murder of old
man Reynolds in the presence Of
his wife, whom he afterwards vio-
lated, Berry, at RogersvilIc, for
the murder of his wife, ard Anan-
MAS Hunnicut, at Tazcwell, for IKE
murder of Thos. Ausmus. The
crowds were very large, all of the
executions being public, as they
ought to have been. The best es-
Inmates were 1900 at Knoxville,
5000 at RogersvilIe and COCO at
Tazewcll, Webb seemed vindice
tive and irreligious, and denied his
guilt to the last. Berry seemed
very penitent, and protested con-
version. He, too, denied having
murdered his wife, whom he said
he always loved, and in his last
hours called on God to witness his
innocence, which he repeatedly re-
asserted in the most solemn and
sacred manner, saying he did this
in full knowledge that he would be
hanged in a few hours, and that no
liar could enter heaven. His man
ner is said to have impressed mum
Der with the belief that he may
have been innocent. Hunnicut
claims to lave descended from In
dian parentagc. He was % years
years of age, and says his brother
in-law committed the murder,
though it is said he formerly con-
fcsscd his ruilt.

has been marked by CONSTANT de-

Of emulation as commentator, since
it was characterized by an independ>

and good debater, which, added TO
his confessedIy fine abilities, have Sc
cured for him an influence among his
colleagues, which makes his services
of great value i'm these unsettled
