Drawing Straws for Life.

A Cairo correspondent Of the
St. Louis Times says: Last eve
ming Lawyer Fountain E Albright
Of Murphysboro, ILL.,, passed
through this city enroute home
from Shawneetuwr where he was
called to assist in securing a new
trial for Mr.. John Aiken, lately
4entenced by jury to be hung
In looking up The matter, Mr., AL
brightlearned thatthejury had act
ually decided Aiken's tate by lot,
or palling straws. Three of the
Jurors made affidavit as to the
manner in which the straws were
drawn, so there was not a doubt
about it. The jury was divided,
Mr.. Albright says nine to three,
and on the proposition of one of the
Jurors it was decided to draw cuts
to determine his fate. They did
so, and the hanging straw won.
Judge Allen Immediately granted
a new trial, and fined three of
the jurors $l00 each, and one of
them $50.

They Uphold no Wrongs, but only
Stand by the Right.
The position OF the Democrat.
ic party towards the Hayes ad-
ministration seems not to be iul-
ly understood by Republicans
1t ought not, however, to be mis-
understood. We believe and
know that Hayes is not in the of.
fee by virture of an election by
the people, aud that he was counted
in by fraud palpable aud unmis
taxable. That the fraud taints
his title to the Office, and that the
entire Republican party of the
country irresponsible for the great
wrong which can neither be con
doned or forgotten. He is the re
ceiver of the stolen presidency,
and his party is the thief that
committed the crime. With this
knowledge and conviction fixed
indelibly in the mind of every
Democrat in the c'untry, they
have neither sought to oust him
from the Office, nor hinder him in
the discharge of the duties it inn
poses, but have, on the contrary,
as a party, aided him. as gener
al rule, in every act designed and
calculated to advance the inter-
ests OF the country. This has
been done from sense of duty to
the country, and not from any
consideration for Hayes, or from
any desire to conciliate his favor.
We want to see him do right, and
are willing to aid him in doing
so; but the Democray will oppose
every act of his administration
that is in conflict with the public
veal. He is political foundling,
abandoned by his progenitors, but
the Democray will not adopt him,
nor suffer him to be left at the
their door. In accepting the Of
fee, conferred by fraud, he did
a great wrong to the country and
its government, but he is not more
criminal than the men who placed
him where he is. He has disap-
pointed their wishes in some
things, and they now seem dis
posed to abandon him. Verify
they have their reward, and both
he and they are finding out that
"the way of The transgressor is
hard"

Several children were feeding a
pet bear with corn at Austin,

of the reach of the bear, and a

child in danger, sprang upon the
bear. Bruin then carried the
child to the farther part Of the

The meeting of Tennessee bond
holders in New York was rather
a lively one. Mr.. knman, of the
banking firm of Iuman. Swan &
Co, which is composed entirely
ef Tennesseeans, said that he was
one who had agreed 10 accept fif-
ty cents, but he denied that stock
jobbing had anything to do with
it, and he repelled the charge as
AN insult. This produced sem
sation, and Mr.. Inman picked up
his hat to leave, ,remarkiag, IL was
born in Tennessee" but be was
prevailed upon to remain, as no
insult was intended certainly not
personally. Another gentleman
remarked that the meeting was
''to tell the people Of Tennessee
that We insist on sixty cents and
six per cent, aud that we, as here
assembled. are body of bondhol-
ders and sufficient weight to speak
for the bondholders at large"
The committee appointed by the
meeting to correspond with the
holders OF Tennessee bonds con-
sist of Messrs. Duer, Pumeroy,
Geddes, Terrv and DR.. Moran,
with Mr.. Kelly as chairman.
Mr.. Kelly believes any new agree
ment on the partof the State would
be faithfully carried cut, and that
had the matter been left wholly to
the people, the bondholders would
have Jared better. The honesty
and frmness of the immortal
Jackson was still alive in the old
State.

THE BROOKLET.
BY ANNIE LAURA MATTHEW'S.


By ANNIE LAURA MATTHEWS.
Where the sunlightseld0m cometh,
Where no human foot hath trod,
Where no eye hath ever rested,
Save the watchiu1 eye of God;
In the deep and darkest shadow,
With a lonely, dreary look,
Over rocks and over pebbles
Flows tiny, restless brook.
And listen to its murmur,
As it creeps from stone to stone,
Catch its sad unlistened music
Signing thus, ''Alone, alonep
Never human drinks its waters,
No one comes to hear its song;
1t can only kiss the flowers,
As it slowly flows along.
And afar hear the rivers
Shouting as they onward run,
And to each name is given,
Names Of honor every one.
Thus they meet and pass together,
Flowing onward hand in hand,
Bearing on their mighty bosoms
Blessings for the waiting land.
Little brooklet, do not murmur,
That thy breast is not so wide,
That thy waters are not deeper,
That no ships upon thee ride.
Wait yet for name OF honor,
Sing on in that undertone
Keep thy path forever onward.
Care not if it be alone.
Keep thy waters pure and crystal,
Let thy song no murmur be;
Think that once the mi ghty rivers
Came from brooklets, such as thee.
Feel the floods are all thy kindred;
Still press onward to the light,
Thou wilt somewhere find the rivers,
And the sunshine warm and bright.
