a NICE LITTLE SToRY.--Apropos Of an
item of news which comes all the way from
Italy, aud is to tho effect that Mrs. John
Ilorrimer Graham, wife, now widow of our
former consul to Florence, is about to marry
her first husbands Italian secretary, there
is liltle story. Mrs. Lorrimer was before
her marriage Miss Josephine Garner,
daughter of the millionaire proprietor Of
numerous great cotton mapufaotorics. Mr.
Graham belonged to good family, but had
no fortune, and was occupying tho position
ofconGdential clerk in Mi Garners office
when he married his daughter. At the
timo of a business crisis about 1857, when
no man felt safe Mr. Garner, as prcoau
tioDary measure, placed 100000 iu his
son in laws keeping, not as gift, but in
trust against possible contingencies. Those
possibilities became roalitiSSr MIR. Garner

THE PLEA OF INToXIcATIoN.-Tho
young man who was arragned for murder
yesterday, and who urged in cxtcnuation of
his crime that he was under the dominion
of rum when he committed it, will hardly
find that this plea commends him to the
mercy of the court. It was moro than
thirteen centuries ago when Bolisarius, on
his way to Africa, gibbcted two of his SOL
dicrs for IN act Of VIOLENCE. Aud when
this summary punishment aroused some
mutiny among the comrades Of the executed
men, the general explained that the crime
alone might not have been visited by this
terrible rctrituiion if il had, net been ag=
grayated by tho fact that the perpetrators
were drunk. This is prntty sound law to
day, Surely man will not be hold less
guilty of crime because he deliberately pre-.
parcs himself for it by sitting all that is
human in his nature, and stimulating all
That is brutal. Ilo should rather be held
morally responsible for all tho other possible
crimes which tho alcohol he swallowed would
drive him to commit ;f opportunity offered
