disappeared one evening, and was never

the home of Leblanc, saw STRAY skiff
featiug down the streem, and, on over
hauling it, foHnd it to contain female
skeleton, which proved to be that Of the
lOng-missing girl The theory is that
she was enticed from home by dis
carded lover, strSngled, and placed in
the skiE, which was then securely fast
ensd to the bank of u creek at place
where the underbrush WIS so thick az

Drunk. Yonr Honor.

There is now on trial in our courts,
says the Denver NeIUs, a man possessed
of a good trade, and capable Of earning
a decent living in any city or town in
the country. Under the influence Of
LIQUOR, few weeks since, he attempted
to knife man to him unknown, and he
will now pay for a few glasses of vile
whisky by spending more or less time
in the penitentiary. Thursdays even
ing train brought to Denver another less
bibing vile whisky, and, while under its
influence, drove the lock Of a gun
through the brain Ohm antagonist, from
the effects of which wound he died.
Here are two men-a would-be murderer,
and a murderer-whose proper pleas IN
court would be "Drunk, your honor"
Had these men been sober, they would
not to-day be in the coils of the law,
and with life and personal liberty inn
perilled. They are guilty of crime, and
vet not as guilty as men who, in their
right senses, coolly and deliberately take
life or attempt to do so. Strange it is
that men never heed the lessons of every
day life and there are few more i'm
pressive ones than this. Newspapers
are filed with them; the telegraph sends
them from every town, city and village
in the land. Drunk, your honor" is a
plea heard in every court in the country.
It is only an excuse-but one so fre-
uuent that it cannot be allowed. Men
whose passions are thus infamed by
drink should fee from it. They should
avoid it as they do poison. And yet to-
morrow the press and the telegraph will
have to repeat the same tale. Drunk,
your honor" will be the sad plea, the
poor excuse of many man, who will
wake from the wild delirium Of drink
to find himself a murderer or felon in
a prisonaFiS cell.
