PARDON GRANTED.-Phillis Douglas (col-
ored), who was--scntenced in the County
Court OF Albemarle to sixteen years in the
penitentiary for 'infanticide, was pardoned
by the Governor yesterday for the following
reasons:
"Pardoned on the recommendation Of the
Judge, Commonwealth attorney, and other
leading citizens of Albemarle county. The
prisoner had been Of good behavior up to
the time of her first offence, when, being
but seventeen years old, she is certified to
have acted under terror produced by the
threats of her father. Assuming that she
was guilty, although some leading minds
doubt her guilt, yet she has already suffered
the full average punishment heretofore in
flicted upon more aggrayating crimes o'
the sort, and her pardon is proper as wei
for equalizing criminal punishments as fol
rewarding her exemplary conduct as ;
prisoner"

THE STRAsBURG CLoCK.-Thc daily attend
ance at the Virginia Opera-HoIse to see
this interesting and historical piece Of me-
chanism is steadily increasing as its merits
become known. The model is an exact
reproduction OF the famous astronomical
clock in the old Cathedral OF Strasburg,
combining its many mechanical and astro-
nomical movements with an eXactncsS truly
remarkable. The apostles appear in their
regular procession, receive the blessings OF
the Saviour. the cock on the tower crows
and flaps his wings, Peter denies the Lord,
Judas betraYs his Master, while Satan and
the angels OF death take their part in the
scriptural episode represented.
The astronomical portion in its construc-
ton proves most conclusively the genius
and patience OF the inventor and maker,
and, as whole, forms sight full Of his
toric interest, beautiful to sec as well as be-
ing most instructive and entertaining to all
classes. AS the admission fee is placed at
a nominal price, and the exhibition is open
day and night until 8 o'clock, all can avail
themselves OF the opportunity.

The FOllics of Expectation.
New York Times, !

The folly Of anticipatio1s, whether for
ourselves or others, might be learned by
their contradiction in experience. What is
anticipated happens so seldom that it might
seem as il Destiny delights to defy forecast.
Invalids very frequently die Of q totally diff
ferent disease from the one they have con-
stantly fought against. A man who in
herits weak lungs spends thousands of dol
lars for medical advice and travel and is
finished at last by q malarial fever. He
who has suffered for years from cal
culus goes TO his grave from viru-
lent carbuncle. The lifelong victim OF
asthma is struck down by disease Of the
heart The man who has endured all the
horrors OF protracted dyspepsia yields sud-
denly to angina pectOriS. The person pre-.
pared to end with intestinal trouble ends
with pneumonia. Cholera carries off the
man to whom nervous prostration has been
from early manhood familiar foe. He who
has repeatedly declared insanity impossi-
sible to him becomes raving and incurable
maniac The brawny, robust fellow, conf
dent of thrce-score-and-ten, is buried be-
fore he is thirty. The infant, which no.
body expects to live three months, lasts to
ninety wears. The pale, thin youth, who
looks as il a spring might blow him away,
grows so obese that apoplexy releases him
at eighty. ....=. -. -
Soldiers always expect to fall in front OF
battle, though the greater part OF them
sicken life away in the hospital. Men with
out any notion Of business in the beginning
abruptly develop into millionaires. Wild
bows, about whom sober neighbors shake
their heads, and talk lugubriously OF dis
grace and the gallows, blossom into evan
gelcal clergymen, and pain the most pious
| OF their congregation by the sternness OF
their creed. Young men pointed out as
patterns of propriety, and made themes oi
moral lectures to young men Of more worldly
mold. turn out consummate ScoundrclS and
keep out OF prison only because they are
too shrewd to get enmeshed in legal justice.
Quiet citizens, never known to have de-
parted from routine, and believed incapable
! OF unconventional emotion, startle the COM
munity by killing their wives and children,
setting fire to their houses, and pcrisbine
| in the flames. .- --.
Allsuch surprises are doubtless US great tc
the actors rs to the spectators. 1t seems
| impossible for anybody to anticipate what
shall be. Most Of lis may have our secret
and pet bugbear; but the danger that con-
fronts us, the rock we split on, is usually a:
unlike the bugbear as lizard is unlike
| leopard. Fortune. seems bent on battling
