He Met Her at The Fair.

At the Children's fair last night a
nice young man sauntering around the
vicinity OF the floral department, was
suddenly accosted by fair young girl,
who held out pretty nosegay to him
and said:
g Allow me to offer you this button
hole boquet, sir, and she presented it
with bewitching grace.
!" \ thousand thanks" said the young
man bowling quite low, and taking the
flowers from her pretty fingers.
Now, who the deuce is this fair

Young man asked himself, a. he con

the geranium leaf, and the jasmine
spray. . The rose-that's for love,

turned to 90: -" but blessed if / can tell

lady, calling gently after him.
The young man grew white, red, and
spotted by turns, handed her dollar
note, and, without waiting for the
change, rushed out on the sidewalk,
and battered his head forty or fifty
times against the side of the building,
while he called upon all the gods that

A Nineteenth Century Miracle.

Special Despatch to the World.
PETERSBURG, Va, May.-One of the
strangest and most remarkable cures
that the people of Petersburg has ever
witnessed was that which took place at
colored baptizing in this city on Sun
day afternoon. During the evening
fifty-four candidates were immersed, one
of whom was deaf and dumb mute
named Burwell Lancaster, about twenty
one years OF age, who is quite highly
educated, having received his schooling
at the college for the deaf and dumb in
Providence, r. /. After being baptized
by the officiating minister, Rev. Henry
Williams, pastor of the Gilfield Baptist
Church in this city, the mute returned
from the water cured of his infrmities
and gave vent to his feelings by lusty
shout of 'tThank God" when he was
again taken deaf and dumb. To say
that the spectators were considerably
amazed would but feebly express it, and
no little CONSERVATION was occasioned
among the large crowd at the miracu-
lous cure which was to last but few
minutes.

The gentleman whose name heads this arti-

Winston county, to represent his county in

ted him to decline the honor rendered. His
reasons Tor not becoming a candidate appear

We know that there Is not a gentleman in the
State who would carry more dignity to the
Capitol halls OF Mississippi or who would
work more zeaIously for the interest Of the
whole people than Judge VIM. Price.

A Judge on the Jury System.

Judge Miller OF the United States Supreme
Court before the New York Bar Association
1t requires all the yeucration which age I'M
spires for this mode trial by iurv1 ol di5pens-
ing justice, and all that eminent men have
said Of its value in practice, to prevent our
natural reason from revolving against the -y--
tenn, and especially some OF its incidents. ii
a cultivated Oriental were told for the first
time that q nation, which claims to bee in adj
vance OF all others in its love OF Justice and
its fundamental principles Of Jurisprudence
that every controversy between individuals.
and every charge oil crime against an offender,
should be submitted to twelve men without
any other learning, and that neither party to
the contest could prevail until all the twelve
men were OF the opinion i'm his favor, he would
certainly be amazed al the proposition Nor
have the European nations differed much with
him i'm their estimate OF trial by jury. 1t has
been well understood and received the careful
consideration Of continental jurist- for great
many years, without being adopted by any
OF them, in the form that we have it from
England.
Many attempts have been made to intro
duce it in some modified shape, but ! think ii
safe to say that it has not in its essential
Anglo-SaXon feature met the approval OF amy
people except those of that race. In the DAYS
when Kings exercised arbitrary power. the
jury was, among the sturdy, iberty-loying
Englishnen, a valuable barrier against
oppression by the Crown. But in this
country, where the people are sovereign,
the jury il but too often the mere reflection Of
popular impulse, aud the safety OF an limo
cent man IS more frequently found to depend
the frmness of the Judge than the impair

that no man shall be convicted Of an Infamous
crime until twelve fair-minded men are con
WINGED OF his guilt. | am also forced to adj
NIT, however that even in civil eases my cx-
perience a judge has been much more favor
able to jury trials than il was as practitioner.
And ann bound to say than an intelligent
and unprejudiced jury, when such can be OBJ

such clearness, precision and brcvity as Will
present their duty in bold relief, are rarely

A Beautiful Story.

\ touching begging story with good
moral is told by the Pittsburg Telegraph:
\ Young man who had been ON three
DAYS debauch wandered into the read
ing-room of hotel where he was well
known, sat down and stared moodily in
the street Presently a little girl Of
about ten years came in and looked tim
idly about the room. She was dressed
in rags, but she had a sweet, intelligent
face that could scarcely fail to excite
sympathy. There were five persons in
the room, and she went to each begging.
One gentleman gave her a five cent
piece, and she then went to the gentle
man spoken of and asked him for pen
ny, adding: 6 | haven't had anything
to eat for 4 whole day. The gentle
man was out of humor, and he said
Grossly: -" Don't bother me go away
| haven't had anything to eat for three
days" The child opened her eyes in
shy wonder and stared at him for mo-
ment and then walked slowly toward
the door. She turned the knob, and
then, after hesitating a few seconds,
walked up to him, and gently laying the
five cents she had received on his knee,
said, with tone Of true girlish pity in
her voice: d" If you haven't had any
thing to eat for three days, you take
this and go and buy some bread. Per
haDs can get, some ,afer 93 r - no roots
Of his hair, and lifting the Sister Of
Charity in his arms. kissed her two or
three times in delight. Then he took
her to the persons in the room, and to
those in the corridors and the office, and
told the story and asked contributions,
giving himself all the money he had
with him. lie succeeded in raising
over s 10, and sent the little one on her

THE NEGROES IN KANSAS.
Emigration Agents Working in Ken
lucky and Tennessee.

TOPEKA, Kan. May 31.-The exodus is in
creasing somewhat, the negroes coming chiefly
from Kentucky and Tennessee. The commit
tee is receiving some funds and materials, and
a new impetus has been given to the move
ment by the agents working in the South who
return here with 100 or 200 negroes. They
are hurrying to bring them up in heap while
boating lasts. To-day twenty-seven families
arrived, with twelve workingnen out OF eighty
persons. The bedding and clothing OF the ne
groes were horribly filthy. The severe trip,
the bad weather and the water had produced
dvsentery, pneumonia and measles. On de-
ooration day a large cavalcade OF refugees were
transferred in wagons from the cars to the Fair
Grounds TO parade, in order to show what the
association Is doing. The effect was a mixed
feeling chiefly OF opposition.
Some young men from St. Louis, who were
inducing the negroes to return South, were
badly beaten at Wyandotte City, Tuesday
night, by agents of the aid society.

MANY TIMES ACCOMPLISHED

by Walker. He would do il for a small purse
on wager, or even TO gatify the curiosity Of
tourists. Whatever his intentions he miScal-
culated his powers and was caught i'm the
Trap Rapids just above Goat Island, and it
was at this point that the Mortified spectators
first caught sight OF him he came down the
river. A man on the bank shouted TO row in
to the sluiccway near the Cataract House
and he tried to do so, but caught crab, lost
his balance and fell backwards in the boat
where he lay stupefied with intoxication, the
liberated oar drifted away from the boat and
the light skitf was caught in the swift current
and carried down until it reached point
about hall way between the head OF the island
and the Cataract House, when il caught upon
a rock and rested, swinging around for several
seconds. The situation at this time was one
OF extreme horror and the spectators look
ed on with bated breath and beating hearts
The boat then leaped forward upon its terrible
journey, riding upon the crest Of the water.
1t next struck half-sunkcn rock and parted
in twain.

Over the Falls.


4 FAMOUS NIAGARA GUIDE ENGULFED BY
THE MIGHTY CATARACT.
Special Dispatch To the Globc-D Democrat
BUFFALO, \. y, MAY 25.-Niagara Falls
was the scene of another tragic death this ai-
tcrnoon and Pic Walker was the man who
furnished the details oi the tragedy After
successful wrestling with the eddies and cur
rents, and the rocks and rapids of the river for
years and saving score or more of persons
from watery graves he to-day was swept over
the American cataract in the presence oi "a
large crowd Of eXcursionists who were scat
tered about, litile ~uspecting the awful spcct3-
Gle which they were 80 suddenly called upon
To- witness. The primary cause OF Walker
death was drunkenness. He had a lip for
liquor which frequently got the better of him.
Where he.imbbcd to-day is not known, but
about o'clock he was observed to leave Port
Day, about TWO miles above the head of Goat
Island, badly intoxicated. 1t is believed he
pulled over to one of the islands, where hc
discussed the contents OF a kcg of beer with
some companions. 1t Is supposed he then at
tempted 10 reach Goat Island, or TO return 70
Port Day. To row a boat TO Goat Island
is very dangerous and foolhardy trick, but
