New Jersey. He sends IL this:
The Hon. G.. TELLS a good story of

State. He says he went there cunning,
and came to short line of road on which
was run single ear, the forward end of

He took his dog III the ear with him
and put him under the seat. Presently
the conductor came along, and insisted
that the dog should go into the baggage

''swindle,' 'put-up job. between the
conductor and the blggage -master, and
that sooner than pay it he would tie the
dog to the train and let bm work his pas
sage The conductor assent"d. and the
dog was hitched to The rear of the train.
The dog, so T-says, kept along easily
with the train, but the conductor began to
get uneasy, making frequent trips to the
engineer, urging him to increase the speed
of the train, and back again to watch the
effect upon the dog. The latter began to
show signs of fatigue, but after while
caught his ''second wind" and was keep
ing along as before. The conductor now
ordered the engineer to heave all the coal
into the furnace and stir up the fire, which
being done, the speed was perceptibly in
creased. The conductor again went 10
the rear of the car to observe the effect.
but the dog had disappeared
whereupon he triumphantly called rs at
tention to the fact. The latter. after tax

TIE MATCH B0Y-i STORY TOLD III
DEAN STANLEY.

Dean Stanley, in his sermon to the child
rem at Westminster Abbey recently, told a
very touching little story. lie said: Not
long ago in Edinburgh. two gentlemen
were standing at the door of a hotel one
very cold day, when little boy with a
poor. thin, blue face, his feet bare and red
with the cold. and with nothing to cover
him but a bundle of rags, came aud said,
please. sir buy some matches. No,
don't want any, the gentleman said
but they are only a penny box, the
poor little fellow pleaded. Eyes. but you
see we don't want IL box" the gentleman
said again. Then will give two boxes
for a penny" the boy said at last, and 50
to get rid of him, the gentleman who tells
the story says, II bought box; but then
| found had no change. so | SAID 4 VIII
buy a box tomorrow. oh, do buy them
tonight if you please, the boy pleaded
again; Il will run and get We the change,
for am vera hungry so gave him the
shilling. and he started away | waited for
him, but no boy came Then thought
had lost my shilling; still there was that
in the boys face | trusted. and did not
like to think bad Of him. Late in the
evening was told a little boy wanted to
see me when he was brought in ! found
il was a smaller brother of the boy who
got my shilling but if possible still more
ragged and poor and thin. lie stood for
moment. diving into his rags, as if he
were seeking something, and then said,
Are YOU the gentleman that bought the
matches frae Sandie? Yes 'Weel. then
here's fourpence out o yer shilling; Nandie
cannot come he 5 very i'll Il cart ran over
him and knocked him down. and he lost
his bonnet and his matches and your seven
pence. and both his legs are broken, and
the doctor says he II die, and that 5 "a. And
then, putting the four pence on the table,
the poor child broke down into great sobs.
So fed the little man, and went with
him to see Sandie. | found that the two
little things lived alone, their father and
mother being dead. Poor Sandie was ~
ing on a bundle of shavings. lie knew
me a soon As came in. and said Il got
the change, sir, and was coming back
and the horse Knocked me down. and both
my legs were broken. And oh. Renby

Col. AlstOn's Murderer.

The jury in the Cox case were out all
night, and came in at noon to be re-
charged in full. At 3 AS they came in
and announced that they had agreed
upon verdict. It was detained to cor
rect an informality, and was then read
as follows: 1--WE, the jury, recommend
that he be punished by Imprisonment
for life in the penitentiary." Cox re-
ceived the verdict with calmness, hav-
ing evidently nerved himself for the
worst. His wife, on hearing the words
so fatal to her hopes, sat for a moment
trembling with emotion, and then rushed
for the open window near by, with the
purpose to throw herself to the ground
below. She was wild with grief. AS
she reached the window, she was caught
by Cox, who held her fast. She threw
her arms around his neck, and chung to
him, wildly exclaiming "Oh, my
God! Oh, my poor darling!" Her
shrieks were heartrenhng, and the oc-
cupants of the crowded courtroom
could not restrain tears of pity. Judge
Hillyer sentenced Cox to "be confined
in the penitentiary, or such other place
as the Governor may direct, at hard
labor for and during his natural life"
Gen. Gatrell gave notice that the de-
Tense would make a motion for new
trial, and prayed writ of superseders.
Execution of the sentence was. there
fore, stayed twenty days. This penalty
is virtually the extreme of the law in
this State, as the law passed with
Alston's aid at the last session of the
Legislature giving juries the right to
recommend life imprisonment in all
cases of murder, as they see fit, in eff
feet abolishes the death penalty. Cox
thus is the first man convicted of muir
der who received the benefits of that
law atlanta (Gd.) paper.
