The Washington Post, of June 10Th,
says:
In the Criminal Court, before Justice
Wylie, yesterday the trial of George G..
Ellison for the murder of David Small
was resumed. Hon. Casey Young, Of
Tennessee, made an able and brilliant
argument for the prisoner. He kept the
attention OF the jury from 10 till 1850
o'clock. District Attorney Wells then
took up the story and spoke until APO
pm. A number Of prayers were offered
by the prosecution, and the greater part
granted. The defense also asked a
number Of instructions to the jury,
which we're, with few exceptions, granted
Justice Wylie made q most fair and i'm
partial charge, and the case was given to
the jury at a little before 6 o'clock. The
Jury were allowed to 90 to q hotel aud
the marshal directed TO secure a large,
cool room for them. They had until
$50 o'clock in which to bring in a YER
diet, or otherwise stay out till this morn
ing. AT a late hour last night nothing
could be learned positively Of how they
stood, though the general opinion was
that the majority we're for acquittal.
LATER In the Ellison trial, this
morning at p o'clock, the jury stood ten
for acquittal and two for conviction.
In speaking Of this trial the Washing
ton Gazette says:
The speech of Hon. Casey Young il
defense of Ellison, last Friday, is men
toned as a most able and brilliant effort
To the reputation Of an able and %eficien'
representative, Colonel Young adds tina.
of a gifted advocate and accomplished
lawyer.

Tobacco Versus Theological stu.
dents.

In the recent Protestant Episcopal
convention of Michigan there was much
talk about educating young men for the
ministry. The difficulty in the way was
a two-fold one-the pcarcity of young
men who want to study for the ministry,
and the lack Of funds wherewith tc pay
for their education. A proposition was
made that all the members of the con.
vention should abandon for three months
the use of tobacco, and devote their to-
bacco money to the education Of minis
terially.aspiring youth. The vote by
which this proposition was rejected was
one Of the most hearty unanimity.

MANUFACTURERS asd dealers in tobacco
and cigars are put to . great deal Of in
convenience by the efforts Of Govern,
ment officials TO collect all the taxes due
on cigars aud tobacco great variety
of regulations and orders giving Cue OF
portunities for Misunderstanding snS
%swindEng operations. One Of the reeent
orders requiring cigar makers to sepA,
rate their factories and stores by a sub
stantiaI partition has OsoAsionei great
Inconvenience to small dealers. and has
been purposely dlsregaried by cigar
maker in Baltimore, who contested the
right cf the commissioner Of internal
revenue to issue such an order, The
United States district court has decided
against the commissioner 5 power in this
respect because the law clearly gives
the manufactures the power to sell cigars
at his place ct manufacture" The case
will probably be taken up to the supreme
court on appeal, but in the meantime
cigar makers and dealers in tobacco
might save the Government officers and
themselves a great deal of trouble if
they weuld assist in devising some
scheme for the honest collection of the
taxes to take the place Of the present
obscure, and in some cases oppressive
regulations and orders. Congress aud
Government officials generally need the
advice and help Of experts in the prepa-
ration Of laws and rules governing the
collection Of taxes and tariff charges.

THERE is nothing finer in heroic quail
lily than to stick 10 one post in the face
of danger Of certain death, if the safety
of others is assured.by II, or even brought
more near. When a nan holds a trust
with bis life, there is no need to look for
other definition of a hero, whatever the
trust may be. Even with the ordinary
chances Of travel there will doubtless
always be room, so long as tracks are
laid and trains run, to prove the stuff
that engineers are made Of, but when
villainy takes the form of obstructing
tracks, or pulling up rails, with the
fendish intention o. putting hundreds of
lives in peril, it is well to tsll along With
the story what two men did to save q
train. Very likely George Babe and his
son, the engineer and fireman Of the
wrecked train on the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore road, recently,
saw as good chance for their lives, after
the engine left the track, as it ran along
six hundred feet or SO, as many a mar
who has jumped aud saved himself, lesv.
ing tie passengers TO their fate. But as
the old.fasbioned horror makes the cap
tain the last to leave the sinking ship, SC
this father and son stood at their posts
and we're killed. There is no need tt
take account Of probabilities, nor whai
might have come had they saved them
seyes; tie lives entrusted to them were
all saved, and they died at their duty
The officer who leads a forlorn hope arc
falls in front Of his men is no greater
hero than the railway engineer, fireman
or brakeman who stands By his train il
wreck to the death.
