roundiBgs of the jury, felt a sense of
comforting RELIEF. Hundreds Who
trade in runior and faiien on the g0s-
sips AMI ISLANDERS OF the present, ielt
chop-fallen at The suddenness by
which the source of their current vi
tuperaiiou and cOntumely had been
absorbed in the sponge of justice and
forever placed beyond the reach OF
their polluting grasp. Hundreds,
who were hitherto Indifferent as to
the result of the great trial, express
Ell in glowing and emphatic terms
sentiments OF approval and rejoicing.
In the face Of widespread journal
istic cry of convict from that por-
ton of the American press which
spends its force in abuse and vilifica-
ton, the cause of truth and innocence
has most signally triuinrhed. Pop
ular feeling has been continually on
the side of the accused, and it was
only here and there that expressions
from the masses of the people I'M
favorable to the defendant were
heard. But the Detective press tried
and convicted HIM long before the
preliminaries of the trial had ended.
Every rumor, every wild and I'M
founded statement which this por-
ton of the press found floating about,
were seized upon with the rapacity
of furnished fiends, and heralded
over the land as fact and truth.
Among this number stand most con-
spicuous, the Herald, World and
Sun, a trio of Journals whose chief
aim in this great prosecution has
been to secure the conviction of the
accused, in public estimation at least,
for no other purpose than political
advancement and interest. By dis
torting truth, by manufacturing pos
tive falsehood, by Jcsuitical insinu-
alton and mean exaggeration, they
waged their wicked and unmanly
warfare against a man whom they
believed to be innocent, but whom
they were willing to prosecute to the
bitter end, that they might secure an
inch or an ell of political vantage
ground. They have played the part
of despicable SANDER creators, and
the triumph of truth and justice now
forces them to swallow their false
and unwholesome creations.

Washington, Mar.~1.-The bill for
the protection of agriculture against
injurious insects as amended provides
for the appointment of one Commits
sioner who is to investigate and
gather information relative to the
Rocky mountain locust, army worm,
chinch bug, Hessian fly, potatoe bug
and other destructive insects, in order
to devise methods for their destruc-
ton. The results are to be reported
to the Commissioner of Agriculture
and transmitted by him to Congress.
The investigation into General
Schenck's connection with the Emma
mine was continued to-day. Some
important evidence, placing the
General's conduct in a very bad light,
was ELECTED. Some of the testimony
having been telegraphed to and pub
lished in the London Times, General
Schenck has published a card deny
ing the whole story, and stating that
he will sail Immediately for this
country to appear and testify in per-
son before the committee. Senator
Stewart has telegraphed from San
Francisco that he will soon be here to
contradict the statements of some of
the witnesses regarding himself and
Schenck in connection with the mine.

Curious Tracks.

Col. j. Brooks, while travelling in
Nevada, found some curious tracks,
of which he gives the following ac-
count:
1 found upon the top of a table
mountain, 5000 feet high, nine dis
tinct impressions of a female bare
foot. The impressions, or tracks, fol-
lowing each other as if the person
were walking, were undoubtedly
made in II fine sediment at a time
when the composition was mud. AT
present the rock is of the most solid,
hinty nature. and would require a
well-tempered steel instrument to
make the tracks. This table topped
mountain is situated near the Colo
RADIO River, in Southwestern Nevada.
Is it possible, with such facts before
us, that the world is but 5000 years
old? What time is needed to change
mud into solid rock, requiring we'll
tempered steel to make an impress
sion upon it?
