The Power of Forgiveness.

In a garrison town in England, where
one of the finest regiments in the ser
vice was stationed, a soldier had been
placed ia confinement by an officer of
the guard for misdemeanor, and his
name sent in to the commandant.
'What !" said the colonel, sis Now
bray up again ? What has he been
doing now ?"
"Tipsy and disorderly as usual, SIR
returned the officer who had reported.
'1n mercy's name what shall | do
with him | believe l have tried every
thing in his case which can be done
without Il court MARTIAL
AT this point the chaplain of the reg
iment, kind-hearted man, spoke:
at was Mowbray who captured the
Russian standard ?"
"Yes."
''He is brave soldier, and true ?"
Yes
"Well, colonel, if you will permit me,
| think | can mention one thing which
you have not tried :"
"Ah, chaplain, what is that 2"
'He has never yet been forgiven"
''Forgiven - repeated the colonel, in
surprise.
"Aye-he has not yet been brought
before you. Suppose you try it, just
once"
The colonel reflected little while,
and then directed that the culprit
should be brought before him. The
man was pEesented-a soldier, every
inch of him, battle burned and ed.
"Well, Nov Bray" said the command
er, ''you know why you are here 7''
eyes, sir"
"What have you tOsay for yourself ?"
Nothing, colonel, only that | am
sorry. | don't think | meant to do
wrong"
The colonel gave the soldier a stern
lecture on the sin and disgrace of
drunkenness, and finally when the poor
fellow was expecting nothing less than
the ball and chain for a month, he
wound up as follows:
''And now Mowbray, | am going this
once to try new incentive to manly
behavior in your case. am going to
forgive you this time. You may return
to duty, and let us see how long you'll
honor it,"
The soldier stood for moment like a
man frightened. 1t took him some
little time to fully comprehend the sit
uatiOn, but lie saw, at length, and
burst into tears.
He found voice enough To thank his
commander, aud then he retired but
he made no verbal promise.
Two years longer that regiment re-
mained IN that town during that time

The Second Reprieve of Phair.

Gov. Fairbanks is a careful as well
as humane man and in the further
reprieve of John p. Phair he has doubt
less consulted the demands of Justice as
well as of humanity. He has had
sources of more reliable information
than could be made available to the
general public, and he has judiciOus
advisers. We have been content that
the case should be left to him for de-
cision, and we have crowded no ad-
vice upon him. If he says, as he does
| by his action in the case, that he nas
basis for well-grOunded belief that
the verdict which consigned Phair to
the gallows may have been erroneous,
it is enough for us. On him rested the
responsibility, and he has exercised it.
The case has been a very strange one
one that cannot fail to be a noted one
in the annals of criminal jurisprudence :;
and one which, especially if Phair Sc
cures new trial from the Legislature,
cannot fail hereafter to exercise a strong
influence on the course of criminal JUS
tice.
We must expect, hereafter, to see in
the case of every condemned murderer,
who does not confess his guilt, an effort
to revive the issue of his guilt or innO-
cence after it has passed beyond all the
ordinary and regular tribunals. Of
course every such convict cannot ex-
pect to bring to bear in his case an in
cident 50 striking and dramatic as the
Downing episode, which secured the
first reprieve of Phair; but he will be a
dull fellow, if he cannot persuade some
body to believe his prOtestatiOns of in
nOcence, i'll spite of courts and juries !;
and with the aid of a newspaper or two,
and of an active correspondent, who,
unhampered by any oath and unem-
barrassed by cross examinations, shall
devote himself for a month or two to
writing up new or formerly exploded
theories of the murder, and casting fresh
suspicion on any and every one, other
than the convict, who was ever sus-
pected of any connection with the crime,
it will be easy to unsettle the public
confidence in the result legally reached,
and to place the public mind i'll state
of apprehension lest some terrible mis-
take may have been made, which will
have its influence on governors and
legislatures.
John P. Phair has secured at least
two years more of life, unless he dies in
prison from natural causes. He will
next be virtually tried by the Legisla-
ture, which will be likely, under all the
circumstances, to grant him new trial
before the courts. This will take place
some five years after the murder, and
of course with abundant chances for the
death of witnesses and disappearance of
evidence. What its result will be, of
course, cannot be prognosticated. If it
is able to establish clearly either his
guilt or innocence, there will be cause
for general congratulation.-BurIingtOn

woman's Love Above All.

Recently in western city, a young
woman with babe at her breast,
walked into the police station and asked
for lodging. She was thin and poor,
and the frozen snow hung in masses
about the skirt of her dress.
81 walked in from the country" she
said, when the usual question was asked
her. "My husband came in to look for
made up my mind that he had fallen in
with some of his old cronies, so | came
to look him up. Mother offered to keep
me, but | know she has no more than
she needs for herself. l have walked
ten miles since breakfast Can | stay
until daylight ?"
The officer said she could. As she
was passing through the corridor she
caught sight of man standing behind
the bars He was unshaven and hag-
gard, and his red eyes told the cause of
his being here.
"Why, Jim ~
The man glanced up. He brushed
his hands across his eyes, and his voice
trembled when he said:
''HOw came you here, Marthy ~
so, Jim J" and the poor young wife
began to sob. II was afraid of this,
and came after you. | knew you
wouldn't go to do it of your own accord.
But them crOnies, Jim-them cronies !!
| knew what it would come to-"
"4es," and the young fellows eyes
filled with tears 81 know it's so; but
| never knew it so well before. But if
| get out of this, I'll give you my word,
Marthy, it's the last time. It's the last
time, and L never promised you that
before, you know"
The wife leaned against the bars and
let her tears flow for moment. She
then Strengthened up and Immediately
walked to the clerk.
"How much does he owe ?" she
asked.
''Three dollars and forty cents.
The woman took from her pocket
solitary five dollar bill, and paid the
fine without murmur. The door was
opened, the young man passed out, and
in a moment was marching down the
street with the babe on one arm and his
wife close by his side.

clutched in her hand. What had she
done? What had happened to herr
She could not answer. Nature had
mercifully taken away her senses. They
took her up tenderly and carried her to
the station and laid her upon seat in
the waiting-rOom. The passengers of
the two Trains crowded the room and
offered every aid, for in some vague
manner they began to understand that
she was the creditor to the value of
all their lives. She had paid for their
safety with costly sacrifice.
The freight train backed down to the
crOss-Over switch, and the engineers of
the three trains met and began to ex-
anime the positions of the switches. A
number of men also came from the ex-
press train, and among them was one
who seemed ia authority. He, too, ex-
amined the line carefully, and the en-
gineers explained the matter to him,
and listened to his remarks with becom-
ing Difference.
The little room in the station was
packed with people, idlers and others,
and they could with difficulty bring him
in.
NO." said one of the ladies who were
trying to restore the girl. ''It may be
too great a shock for her. She must
not see him yet"
"Make way there, gentlemen. The
superintendent of the road is here"
The crowd moved slightly, and the
superintendent advanced into the room.
He took off his hat and spoke quietly
to the people near, and then he stopped
over the unconscious girl and softly
kissed her like as father.
"She saved all our lives, and | fear
she thinks she paid dearly for them"
Suddenly she opened her eyes and
sat up bewildered.
''Where is he? Is he much hurt
Oh Perhaps he ISL
Let me alone, | tell yOu," cried a
big, bold voice in the crowd, 81 must
go to her."
He escaped from those who would
detain him, and in moment was be-
side her.
Some of the people laughed in foolish
joy, Others cried. The more delicate
and sensible were silent, for the meet
ing was not for words or description.
After slight pause the superintendent
said to the young man =
81 congratulate you, sir. You were
on the carr"
eyes, sir. was on the car, and |
saved myself at the last moment by
jumping off. l landed on pile of fine
coal and got a rough tumble-and that
was all. The car is a heap of splinters."
Then the superintendent called the
young man nearer to him and spoke to
him privately, and presently they both
shook hands as if greatly pleased over
something. The young man sat down
beside the girl and whispered in her
ear.
''Pve got the place, Lydia. We're
all right now"
Then the bells rang, and the people
began to disperse toward their trains.
AS they departed, a small creature
probably a stOckholder- objected to the
proceedings and remarked to the su-
periutendent that ''it was not best to
give fat offices to brakemen for doing
nothing"
''Precisely," said the superintendent.
''But the woman did something, and if
you wish to know the full measure of
her splendid deed, go put yourself in
her place."

was State Senator for three or four
years. 1t is believed that the assassina-
tion of those two men was the result of
a prearranged plan, and that the as
sassination of Gully, short time pre-
vlous, was seized upon as the pretext
for arresting Chiselm and Gilmer, in
order that they might be disalmed and
killed. Both these men testified before
the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections in February last, and previous
to leaving Washington, stated to friends
that they believed they would be mur-
dered upon returning to Mississippi,
because of the testimony they gave.

One Sweet Year Ago.

One sweet year ago leaSes were breaking
Over the boughs, and birds were making
Dear little homes in sheltered places;
Grass was springing, and violet faces
Clustered in pretty crowds, half hiding,
Away from the April winds soft chiding.
And wherever L went by height or hollow,
Two light little feet there to follow.
A childs dear voice forever ringing
Sweeter than all the birds sweet singingl
So now when walk where the leaves are growing
And feel the winds of the springtime blowing,
And see where the violet sky uncertain,
Peers through the dead leaves ragged curtain,
wonder it up on the fields of Heaven
The lights and shadows of spring are given;
Or if, as she moves in angel gladness,
My darling may feel one pang of sadness,
Remembering last years April weather.
And the woods where walked, we two together

A Disclosure of the st. Louis Fire.

Months ago western society rang with
the accounts of Il grand wedding. A
fair daughter of one of the oldest and
wealthiest families in the Mississippi
Valley had been united to foreign
nObleman. The arts of Worth we're
exhausted in the preparation of the
tronsseau. Members OF the aristOcracy
from all sections of the country were
present, and never was there more
brilliant social event in the history of
any one present. The dark whiskered
mObleman was reported enormously
wealthy. In his own country he lOrded
it over vast domains. He was sup
posed to own. vast castles, and spent
the season in making fOrays upon the
bears that abounded in the businesses
of his native forests. The wedding was
succeeded by Il dizzy I, und of festivi-
ties, and society was ablaze. The im-
pressive foreigner finally departed with
his beautiful American bride, and il
was said that they would proceed forth
with to the native land of the nObleman,
