LA PRUEBA INCONTESTABLE.

La carta de Irene q Gabriel estaba
unida al proceso de Jorge King, a Pc
ticion del abogado, para que aquella
declarara la verdad de la terrible acu.
sacion lanzada sobre ell REQ acerca del
asesinato de Onelia; ell defensor COM
prendi6 que Ell 1nico medic de salvar &
King era desvanecer las sospschas de
complicidad que contra 81 circulaban,
sin mas fundamento al parecer que Ia
murmuracion de la esposa de Solano,
enemiga encarnizada de su defendido.
Este recurso era habilidad del aboga
da, pues aunque conocia la historic del
suceso, tenia la certeza de que aquella
muier no podria probar 81 crimen, y de
ese modo SO habia de patentizar una Ca
lumnia que serviria de castigo su
maldad.
El juez tuvo la atencion de ir en- per-
soma casa de D. Toribio Solano para
tomar declaration a su esposa; al YER
constituido ell juzgado en- su casa, los
nervios de Irene Sc exaltaron impul-
sos del terror, y no encontr0 fuerzas
en- su cuerpo para ponerse en- pie
aquella mujer, que trabajaba q traicion
para que cayera sobre King todo el ri
gor de la ley, tembl6 al simple aspecto
del juez, pesar de que este llegaba
con la cortesfa del cumplido caballero,
para que la DANA no so asustara del
aparato imponente de su ministerio. D.
Toribio, por su parte, SO espeluzn6 has
ia el punto de parecer su enmaranada
cabellera un erizo asustado; y mas SO

LETTER FROM SAM'L TOWNSEN
For the DELAWARE GAZETTE.

In looking over the proceedings of the
Legislature, find Mr.. McWhorter pre-
sented the moderate request OF James p.
Henry for the State of Delaware to give
the said Henry piece of unimproved
marsh land Care the words of the petl-
tom called Resdy island. 1t does not
saw whether or not the Levy Court shall
embapk 1t for him. This request of
Henry for the valuable island of Reedy
island, that forms the only safe wet
weather harbor between Philadelphia
and the Capes of the Delaware, is the
coolest request that has been made for
forty wears. About that far back fami-
ly living in and about Port Penn, had the
hard cheek to ask for part of the
island but this last request OF Henrys
swallows the whole island.
Now, gentlemen of the Legislature.
trust YOU are too intelligent to consider
for one moment the said proposition.
Now, the bottom secret is, Garrett of the
baltimore and Ohio railroad, is supposed
to be trying, either by canal or railroad,
to get coal sent through on the waters of
the Delaware; and, this Reedy Island
and harbor, probably would become the
shipping port ON the Delaware, if it
aoes said island may be worth million
of dollars. Therefore, any persons ask
ing our State to give them Reedy Island
should be made to understand our Legis-
lature are not fools.

The Queen of All.

Honor the dear old mother. Time
has scattered the snowy flakes on her
brow, plowed deep burrows on her
cheeks, but is she not sweet and
beautiful now? The lips are thin
and shrunken, but those are the lips
which have kissed many a hot tear
from the childish cheeks, and they
are the sweetestrlips in all the world.
The eye is dim yet it glows with the
soft radiance fSh1ly love which can
never fade. All, yes, she is dear
old mother. The sands Of life are
nearly run out, but feeble as she is,
she will go further and reach down
lower for you than any other upon
earth. You cannot walk into mid
night where she can not see you ;
you can not enter prison whose
bars will keep her out; you never
mount a scaffold too high for her to
reach that she may kiss and bless you
in evidence of her deathless love.
When the world shall despise and
forsake you, when it leaves you by
the way side to die unnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather you in
her feeble arms, and Gerry you home
and tell you of all your virtues until
you almost forget that your soul is
disfigured by vices. Love her ten
derly and cheer her declining yeais
with holy devotion.
