Mrs. Elizabeth Lessing put very
strong case before St. Paul Court,
which she prayed to divorce her from
her husband, Lewis Lcssing. Eliza
beth was widow, with two or three
children, when she married Lessing
years ago. They had not been mar
ried long when Lessing killed one OF
her boys and was sent to the Feniten'
tiary for long term. Elizabeth ca
silly got divorce from Les;ing that
time. But after Lessing had served
several years in prison, the Governor
pardoned him. lie hunted up Eliza
beth, and wanted to marry her again.
Her former husband coaxed, and her
priest coaxed her. She finally yield
cd, and was married secoud time TO
Lessing, in May, 1874. lie promised
to be every thing that II man and n
husband could be. But he soon re-
turned TO his old tricks, and commenc-
ed destroying his wife's children. He
had killed oneot them-a boy-du-
ring his former married life with Eliz-
abeth, and he now began TO make bru-
tai efforts to destroy another--a girl.
The mother was obliged to send the
child to the House of the Good Shep-
herd for safety, for which she suffered
such other abuse as forced her to ap-
ply for second divorce. The Judge
taking into consideration that the good,
willing woman had twice tried the de-
fendant and found him wanting in all
the admirable qualities of husband
and father, released her from bonds
matrimonial and advised her to marry
the man no more.

Talk about the opium eater or th,

The cheek once full and rosy, is now

looks longer, now glories in a bronze

We were going down the street the
other day, and noticed a lady coming
up. When we got near enough to
look into the lady's face, we knew that
snuff had done its work. Snuff is
robblug women of their beauty and
depriving them of husbands. Il is
more harmful than smoking; and more
repulsive than chewing. and its use BY
ladies, is almost rs much to be con-
demncd as the drinking of whisky by
men; and if the ladies have grounds
to talk about men drinking and smo-
king, they are assured that snuf-dip-
ping in the eyes of men, is about as
repulsive as the smell of two-cent.

take exceptions to this article. If all
that use snuff were to get after us we
would call their name legion, but we

FROM TEXAS.
LANCASTER, TExAs, May Goth, ls7

LANCASTER, TrxAs, May Goth, 1876,
VIZ would, through the columns Of tho
JOWrrai, correct some erroneous ideas about
the present state ol "Ethclbert" and the
State Of Texas. "Falstsfr" spoke Of him
some time ago, 10 being in exile; and we
though, there wa. a covert insinua,ion that
he was in penal colony. Your Mt Salem
correspondent lately referred to him as be-
ing in the land Of the blcs,. Both Of these
opinions are wrong. Though Texas can
still boast Of having few old fashioned
banditti. horse and eItllc thieves left, and
though these delectable characters are some
times missing, and when found, as Texas
editor lately remarked, they are camly re-
posing by the neck, yet, she cannot justly
be designated as Botany Bay. On the
other hand, though possessing many advan-
tages to certain clnsses over other parts Of
the Union, yet, Texas is far from being an
unaduiterated paradise.
This part Of the State is known at dis
tancc, a. the Three Forks Of Trinity, and
is unsurpassed for fertility. The scenery
though not so picturesque as many pats Of
Kentucky, is yet beautiful. That portion
Of the prairie yet undeflcd by the plow,
has for rome time been wearing its green
robe Of fmusquite, richly ornamcnted with
flowers Of every hue; a tree here aud there,
and sometimes a cluster relieves tie monot-
ony Of the landscape; iine fields of golden
wheat, nov ready for the sickle, arc waving
every where; corn, lately nipped by frost,
an accompaniment Of "Noriher" proudly
stands some feet taller than Kentucky corn.
II you were here, Mr.. Walton, you would
be convinced that person using his mus
cles aud brains sufficiently, could easily
drive the wolf from the dooi. But !: is no
place for the drone; loafns isn't worth
cent here.
On las, Sunday, VIC had pleasant inter
yicw with the Rev. josiah. Lcake, for 81.
teen ycars an inhabitant Of Texas, who for
merly lived near Lancaster, Ky, but fer
two years previous to leaving .enihebv. .
was a resident Of Stanford. Forty years
service in the pulpit, has silvered his locks,
yet, his mental and physical powers show |
no decay. lie made many inquiries about
the old people LEFT back there, and particu-

A New England boy has read Of
the rack and thumbscrew, and all
familiar methods of torture. My edu.
cation had not been neglected in that
particular, but was not prepared for
the sight that met my eyes on enter.
ing the torturechamber in the Rath
house at Ratsbon. Outside the en-
trance of the narrow chamber Is a
bench, upon which the victim was
seated, in order that he might reflect
whether he would confess before tor.
ture or after. One side of the room
was lattice screen, behind which the
secretary sat ut table to take down
any exclamations wrung from the
sufferers. Within are seats for the
judge and surgeon, who attended from
motives Of inhumanity, in order that
the victim should not be released
from his suferings by death. At one
end OF the room, which resembles
cheaply fitted up gymnasium, is a
pillory, with iron band for the neck.
One Of the instruments used to teach
men the beauty of holiness was
ladder, the rounds Of which were
sharply.triangular sticks of wood,
which revolve. The resonant was
drawn up and down this ladder by a
pully, his back abraded by the revolv-
ing prisms Of wood. Another ma
chine is a strctcher, upon which the
condemned was laid, his feet fastened
to one end and his arms tied TO rope
which passed over a windlass. Under
his back was a roller armed with
blunt spikes, over which his vertebra
were drawn backward and forward.
Or the floor were rings into which the
victims feet were firmly secured, when
he was drawn up till all bis joints
cracked. There is chair called the |
"Maiden's Leap" the seat Of which is
studded with a hundred wooden pins.
The victim sat on this with stone
weights in his lap. "The Spanish
Ass" is a simple board, fift zen inches
wide, set upright in standard. The
upper end is sharpened. Upon this
the patient sat astride, with big stores
attached to his feet. On one side of
the room is recess in the thick wall.
Before il n screen of masonry, with a
fireplace in it. The condemned stood |
in the recess, which has no opening
above, and was slowly or quickly sufo-
Gated or roasted by the smoke and heat.
Such are a few of the diabolical in-
struments of torture used in the good
old days.

Mr.. Crittendon, of Kentucky. was
at one time deiendinga a man who was
indicted for capital ofense. After
an elaborate, powerful defense, he
closed his effort with the following
striking aud beautiful allegory:
When God, in His eternal council,
conceived the thought of mans crca.
tion he called up the three ministers
who constantly watt upon the throne
Justice, Truth and Mercy-and thus
addressed them-''Shall we make
mani" Then said justice 30, God,
make him not, for he will trample up
on the laws" Truth made answer al
$40, God, make him not, for he
will pollute the sanctuaries.
But mercy dropping on her knees,
ard looking up through her tears, ex-
claimed-"O, God, max him. | will
watch over him with my care through
all the dark paths which he may have to
tread" Then God made man and said
to him. 80 man, thou art the child
of Mercy go and deal with lhy
brother"
The jury, when he finished, weit
drowned in tears, and against cvidenct
aud what must have been their own
convictions, brought in verdict Of
not guilty.
