A ..RIGnTEOUs JUDGMENT. :"

She stood at the bar of justice,
a creature wan and wild.
In form too small for woman,
In feature too old for child;
For look 80 worn and pathetic
Was stamped on her pale young face,
1t seemed long years of suffering
Must have left that silent trace.
"Your namo," said the Judge, as he eyed
her,
With kindly look yet keen.
els .f"' MARY Maguire ifyou please,
SIR"
"And your age ?" " Tn turned fifteen,
"Well Maryland then from paper
He slowly and gravcly read
"You are charged here, am sorry to say
With stealing three leaves Of bread"
"You look not like an old offender,
And hope that you can show
The charge to be false. Now, tell me,
Arc you guilty of this or no ?"
A passionate burst of weeping
Was at first her sole reply;
But she dried her tears in momeut,
And looked In the judges eye.
"IIl tell you Just how it was, sir;
My father and mother are dead,
And my little brothers and sisters
Were hungry and asked for bread.
At first earned it for them,
BY working hard all day, ~
But somehow the times were hard, sir,
And the work all fell away"
II could get no more employment;
The weather was bitter cold;
The little ones cried and shivered
- 4Lattls Jsmie's 6ut four years oldl-, y,
am guilty. but do not condemn.
I toOs --ohi icds Il stealing!
The bread gave to them" .
Every man in the court room D.
Gray beard and thoughtless youth
Knew, as no looked upon her,
That tho prisoner spoke the truth.
Out from their their pockets came ker
chief,
Out from their eyes sprung tears.
And out from old faded wallets
Treasures boarded for years.
Tho Judges face was a study,
The strangest you ever saw,
As he cleared his throat and murmured
Something about the law,
For one so learned in such matters,
So wise In dealing with men.
He seemed, on a simple question.
Sorely puzzled just then.
But no one blamed him, or wondered
When these words they heard,
The sentence of this young prisoner
Is for the present deferred.
And no one blamed him or wondered
When he went to her and smiled,
And tenderly led her from the court
room
Himself the guilty child.

Judge Pitzran has . habat OF slip
ping his watch under his pillow vhea
he goes to bed. The other night
somehow it slipped down, and - ths
Judge was restless, il gradually
worked its way downward toward
the foot OF the bed. After .
bit, while he was lying awake, his
foot touched it, and it felt very cold;
he was surprised and scared, and
jumping from bed said: p" BY grs-
cious Maria! there's a toad or .
snake or something under the covers.
I touched it with my foot" Mrs.
Pitman gave loud scream, and was
out on the floor in an instant.
"Now don't go to hollering and
waking up the neighbors," said the
Judge. "You go and get me the
broom or something, and we'll fix
the thing mighty quick"
Mrs. Pitman got the broom and
give it to the Judge with the remark
that she felt as if snakes were creep
ing all up and down her legs and
back.
go, nonsense, Maria! Now you
turn down the covers slowly, while I
hold the broom and bang It. Put q
bucket of water alongside the bed
too, SOS we can shove it in and
drown it,"
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. Tho
Judge held the broom uplifted, and
as soon as the black ribbon Of the
watch was revealed, he cracked away
three or four times with his broom.
Then he pushed the thing off into
the bucket. Than they took the
matter. When the Judgsaaw what
il what it was. he said:
81 might have known that. just
like you women to go screeching
and making fuss about nothing.
Who's going to pay me for that
watch. It's utterly ruined"
"It was you that made the fuss,
not me-" said Mrs. p. "You
needn't try to put the blame off on
me-"
go, hush up, and 60 to bed, I'm
tired of hearing your blather. Pears
to me you can't keep your tongue
still minute. Blame me if I amt
going to get a divorce and emigrate. !"
And the Judge turned in and growled
at Maria until he fell asleep.

horting his Christian brethren to stick

the church that had not stuck. A few
days afterwards, the bodies Of Mrs.
Burnett and daughter were found in b
lone creek swamp, where he had lured
them out of their path, and had ravish-
cd, murdered and robbed them, even
taking their rings from their fingers
after having accomplished his hellish
purposes. The poor old woman and
her fair-haired, innocent daughter lay
not over ten feet apart, their skulls
broken in several places, and bodies
horribly mutilated-the lightwood knot

CONKL.lNG AND GRANTIsM.

A Washington special to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer reports the Hon. James
b. Beck, one Of the Kentucky Sena-
tors, as uttering the following sound
and truthful words: "Conkling's VIC
tory over the Administration is still
the one absorbing topic of comment
among the Senators. In the cloak
rooms yesterday, the Senators recounted
to each other the points in the tray, as
veterans in after years tell how their
battles were lost or won. All concede
that it was great victory for king
but there isa wide diversity of opinion
as to the probable consequence. 1.-THE
attitude of the Southern Senators who
supported the Presidents nominations
was we'll voiced by Senator Beck, who,
by reason of mis-infOrmation,. was
ciassed with those who voted to sustain
COnkling. Conkling personally says
he is able to win beyond any question,
and believe that he is sincere from
his standpoint. "But," says Mr.. Beck,
"Conkling represent, that policy which
is known as Grantism-thc policy Of Il
faction who have kept the South crush

THE POPE'S HEALTH.

ROME, December l6.-The pOpe's
health was much improved yesterday.
The fever has disappeared and the
appetite is good, and during the after
noon he was especially cheerful. About
3 o'clock yesterday, in II conversation
with the Duke of Castilvecco, his
Holiness alluded TO the election OF Plus
VII ut Venice, on which occasion the
conclave hurried the deliberation tor
fear Of French interference. His Holt
ness compared the present critical
period with that OF 1900, and said in
mis- good humored way, "They want to
hurry me also, hut am in no hurry to
co."
Plus IN receives daily, as has long
been his custom, the only difference
being that he does not attempt to leave
his bed. He receives his visitors
propped up by pillows in u sitting pos
ture and fully dressed with his writing
table before him.
The new opening in his leg has had
II good effect upon the general health of
his Holiness, and for the present the
in constant attendance, eN-
press great confidence in the continu-
unce Of a favorable condition.
The Pope also said, in the converse
probably be necessary to hold the COM
ing consistory ia his bedroom. His
Holiness is devoting his last energies
to the founding of u rural school outside

Correspondence Mobile Register.l
CHOCrAw BLUFF, Ala,
December IL, 1877.
Being an eyewitness to many of the
incidents that occurred in one of the
most horrible tragedies that has ever
been perpetrated in any land, and /
know the most awful that has taken
place in this county, thought it ex-
pedient to give the public the true
facts concerning it. There has been for
several months past Il white family by
the name Of Burnett residing about a
mile from Choctaw Bluff Landing, on
the Alabama river, who said that they
had lett Mississippi, and were seeking
home in Florida. They were father,
mother and nine children, very poor
people, and had stopped on their way
to earn enough money to proceed fur
ther. On the morning of the 18th of
November the father was subpenaed
to court, but being too i'll to attend
himself, his wife, Mrs. Frances A.
Burnett, aged 43 years, started in his
place, taking with her a daughter
II years of age, and her little son that
was II. At the time Of her departure
there was II negro preacher by the name
of Mark Woodland standing at the door
of the cabin in which she was living
u dark mulatto-a man, I suppose,
about 40 years old, heavy set, not alto
gether unprepossessing in appearance,
but who had II hollow laugh and a
tiendish smile that was indicative of
the murderer that vas in him. Before
Mrs. Burnett left the house, thinking
perhaps that the costs of the suit then
pending in court might fall upon her,
she put ten dollars in her own pocket,
and eight in that of her son, which
the negro saw as he stood at the door.
She then, with her son and daughter,
proceeded on their lonely road, but
before they had walked a mile they
were overtaken by the negro, riding,
who, pretending that he had 50 much
solicitude for their welfare, that he
