A Praying Judge.

The district attorney of--iistriot
related to us substantially the follow
ing incident:
A culprit. in the person OF q negro
man, was arraigued before his honor for
capital crime. A point of law was
raised and argued all day, which was of
vital importance in the case pending.
The life or death OF the prisoner hung
upon that sirgle point of law. The
Judge adjourned the court and promis-
ed decision in the morning. As he
and the district attorney occupied the
same room in tho hotel, and as the lat>
ter observed marked solemnity on the
face of the former, accompanied by un-
.uscal reticence, he retired to bed and
left tie Judge wrapt in silent thought.
He soon saw the Judge on his knees in
prayer. The attorney slept and awoke
through the night, and tound the Judge
on waking ut each time, on his knees.
He SAID the Judge prayed all night.
The attorney. being an irreligious man,
thought his case gone-so much pray
ing wonld cause the Judge to lean to
the side of mercy and save the life Of
the guilty negro. Court being called,
the Judge announced his decision, the
effect of which was to hang the guilty
man. That District Attorney has since
become religious man, aud the Judge
is to day prominent man, in Texas.
