HOW he Got His Liquor.

Derrick bod tells the following good
story: 1t was a sad looking tramp, with
a panied expression of face, that entered
Sutter street bar-room the other day
holding in his hand a small, battered can
lister. ''Look at this, he said, sorrow
fully, 'FI went into gunshop and begged
for something to eat, and the mean man
handed me this can of powder. He said
1 could go shooting-a starving man go
shooting! just think of it,
''Well, mizzle!'' retorted the bar-keep-
er who had just set up four fancy drinks
for row of customers.
''I pledge you my word,'' said the va
grant, holding the can within an inch of
the open stove, ''I'm so miserable I've al
most mind to blow myself up"
'sDare you to do it?'' said one of the
bystanders, winking at the crowd.
The wrecked party gave a sad, linger-
ing look at the poured out liquor, as that
he might ne'er behold again, and tossed
in the can.
The yell that the whole crowd gave as
they started for the opposite side of the
street was heard on Telegraph Hill. When
they filed in ten minutes later the empty
can did not explode, there were four emp
| ty glasses on the counter, the lunch table
was moekery, and the till looked like a
savings bank on the day after really
| large deposit.

A wedding Three Years Concealed

Staunton (Va.) Yindicator.
On one of the excursions which left
Staunton in October, 1876, for the Cen
tennial were two passengers, one young
lady of Rockbridge, whose bright face, as
well as her bright mind, had made her as
popular in Staunton society as at home,
and another was a young gentleman of
Staunton, temporarily residing in Rock
bridge, who contemplated shortly remov-
ing to the far West. They were devoted
lovers, and, as the sequel will show, the
gentleman took such precaution against
the lady changing her mind during his
expected absence as was insurmountable
Stopping in Baltimore a few hours, the
lady and gentleman, after the latter had
procured a license, repaired to the resi-
denee of Rev. Mr.. Murkland, the famous
Presbyterian minister, [Jhe lady being a
Presbyterian, and were united in we'd
lock. They then returned to their re-
spective homes, and there the secret was
confded to two of the groom's family ant
a relative in Richmond, the lady making
confidant of one of her family and de
voted married lady friend. The groom
went West to make his fortune, and will
in few days, return to claim his wife
who has all along retained her maiden
name. Though the marriage took place
nearly three years ago, and seven person
knew it, not a word has leaked out abou
it until within the last week.

Justice In AeadviIIe.

Justice is grotesquely trav estied in the
new Colorado mining town, Leadville.
A colored lad was charged with theft.
The proceedings were opened by the
Judge, who turned to the prisoner with
the remark:
''Well, boss, what have you to say to
that?''
"You mean if took that money!"
"Look here, young fellow, what have
you to say agin this charger
"Does de Court know what de charge
is?'
'sYou bet your life,'' responded the
classic Judge. "You're charged with
fastenin' your hooks onto lucre that was
not yours.''
"Well, Judge, I'Il tell you how it all
happened. Dat girl did give me little
loose change, and in lookin' through town
1 dropped into de bank, and of course
bought stack The cards didn't JUS
come my way, and lost.''
"What about the girls money!" That's
what's botherin' the Court.''
"Well, blowed it in"
''Ten days in the county Jail. Officer
let the prisoner go and see his friends be
fore his inundation.'

A queer Pioneer j..

From a Leadville, Colorado, Letter.
A fellow traveller was dapper young
man, dressed in the latest style, with white
tie and lavender kids. Now he would
brush his immaculate stove-pipe hat, and
now adjust his eyeglasses to scan some
new conner. His incipient mustache
seemed to be source of constant care,
but he divided his attention between this
and couple of hounds, his travelling
companions. On either side of the aisle
hung his two eanaries in separate cages,
and on brilliant rug slept a spitz dog.
AS we learned during the forenoon, he
had come from Chicago, and was going to
Leadville, and proposed to rent a few
rooms in some first-class hotel, and in the
afternoon go ont and prospect little. In
this way he expected to realize fortune
within six months. just now he is pick
ing his way daintily across the muddy
street, with cage in each hand and thu
| dogs at his heels.

WASHINGTON H., o. THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1879.

to go upon an important mission in an
emergency. Whom should he look to-?
Every fitting man had been sent to the
front. Ha! he thought of Phil. Kelly,
only four miles away, upon the farm
where he had been working. Phil. had
twice applied for admission into the army
and the examining surgeon had rejected
him. The Governor sent post-haste for
Phil, to whom the business was made
known. The earger man listened, and
grasped the opportunity as he might have
grasped at promise of life. 1t took him
not more than five minutes to demonstrate
that he eOmprehended the situation in all
its details, and that he was fully equal to
the requirements. That he might be
clothed with proper authority he must
have commission; and, what was full as
necessary he must be an officer of the
Government. The Adjutant-Generalw was
called in, and a captains commission
made out on the spot. Then the Governor
flashed off telegram to Maior-General
Dix, at New York, commanding the De-
partment of the East, asking for an order
to muster into the service of the United
States, for detached duty, Captain Phillip
Kelly. The answer came back in half an
hour, directed to Maj. J. W. I. Gardner
an official order for the muster-in.
That was the making of Phil. The duty
then required of him he performed faith
fully and most effectively, and from that
time to the close of the war he was in ac-
tive and remuneratiYe service.
And when sweet peace had again spread
her grateful wings over our land, Kate
Kelly found her dear family reunited
She would not give up the beautiful slope
of land she had secured, so Phil. bought
more adjoining, where the cottage was
| founded and reared, and where to-day,
resides one of the happiest families in the
country. Grandmother still lives, hale
and hearty, though bending slightly be-
meath the years, and holds upon her knee
the growing, laughing babe of her Oldest
granddaughter. Phil. is well and strong,
beloved for his genial, happy, trustful
disposition, and honored for his sterling
manhood, following business that Yields
him a generous income.
But Kate is the queen. When she looks
upon the safe and sheltering home, peace
full, happy and prosperous, she knows
that her faith and energy brought it all
i to pass; and the others, knowing the
same, bend before her and bless her!

Loss of sleep.

1t is wonderful how much may be done
to protract existence by the habitual re-
storative of sound sleep. Late hours, un-
der mental strain, are, of course, ineom-
patible with this solacement. On this
topic DIR. Richardson says it has been
painful to him to trace the beginnings of
pulmonary consumption to late hours,
sat unhealthy balls and evening parties"
by which rest is broken and encroaeh-
ments made on the constitution. But he
adds, f'If in middle age the habit of tax
ing deficient and irregular sleep be still
maintained, every source of depression,
everv latent form of disease, is quickened
and intensified. The sleepless exhaustion
allies itself with all the other processes of
exhaustion or kills imperceptibly, by
rapid Introduction of premature old age,
which leads directly to premature disso-
lution." There, at once, is an eXplana-
tion why many people die earlier than
they ought to do. They violate the prin-
ciple of taking a regular nights rest. If
they sleep, it is disturbed. They dream
all sorts of nonsense.
Mavor Parsons and the Police Commits
sioners of Rochester, n. Y, have been
indicted for failure to enforce the law re-
quiring licensing of saloons.

The trial of Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage,
on charges of falsehood and deceit, was
begun Monday by the Brooklyn Presby-
terry. Rev. DR.. J. M. Ludlow presided.
Mr.. Talmadge was represented by Rev.
DR.. Spear and Rev. B. F. MiIlard as coun-
sci. He pleaded not guilty to the charge,
and denied the jurisdiction of the Pres
bytery on some of the specifications, which
DR.. Spear moved to quash. After long
argument the motion was granted by the
Moderator, but he was compelled to with
draw his decision, and the specifications
were sustained by the Presbytery. Mr..
Talmage made spirited address, and de-
manded thorough Investigation. A sin
gle daily session of three hours will be
held by the Presbytery during the trial.
The following are the specifications and
charges against Mr.. Talmage:
ChaYge-Rev. T. D. w. Talmage stands
charged by common fame with falsehood
and deceit.
SPECIFICATIONS.
l. In that he acted deceitfully and made
statements which he knew to be false in
the matter of his withdrawal from the
editorship of the Christian at Work, in the
month of October, 1875.
2. In that at various times he published
or allowed to be published by those close
ly associated with him, without contra
dieting them, statements which he knew
to be false, or calculated to give false
impression, in defense of his action and
statements referred to in the first specifi-
cations.
3. In that he repeatedly made public
declarations, in various and emphatic
forms of speech from his pulpit, that the
church of which he was pastor was free
church, and that the sittings were assign
ed without reference to the dollar dues
ton, although he knew such declaration
to be false.
4. In that, in the winter of 1867, he
falsely accused I. W. Hathaway of dis
honest practices, and afterward denied
that he had done so.
5. In that, in the early part of the year
1873, he endeavored to obtain false sub
scriptions toward the payment of the
debt of the church, to be deceitfully used
for the purpose of inducing others to sub
scribe.
6. In that, in the year 1873, he acted and
spoke deceitfully in reference to the mat
ter of the re-engagement of the organist
of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church
z. In that he publicly declared on Sun
day, February I'd, 1879, that all the news
papers said he was TO be arraigned fol
heterodoxy, and used other expressions
| calculated to give the impression that he
expected to be arraigned on that charge.

raigned, if at all, on the charge of false.

An exchange says that an effort is soon
to be made to have Heyl and Hilliard, the
recently convicted F'body snatchers'' par
doned. The crime for which these par
ticular men were convicted, was suffi-
GENTLY horrible-one that is revolving to
all the better instincts of humanity, and
the tenderest ties of affection. A crime
that strikes at the hearts of the living,
through the bodies of the dead. But it is
not of these particular men or this espe-
cial crime that we wish to speak; but of
the utterly absurd and unjust system that
prevails, of pardoning offenders against
the law, long before their just sentence
has expired. It may be questioned wheth-
er the power of pardoning criminals
should be invested in executives. Ger
tainly if it be so invested, it should be ex-
ercised only with the greatest caution and
care, when the interest of justice and
right clearly demand it; and never from
any false sense of pity for the criminal and
his friends. And yet this case is a fair
instance of the insane lengths to which
this mania for pardoning is carried.
These two men, just a few weeks ago con-
victed of one of the most heartless crimes
known to the law, before they have even
had time to get warm in their cells, must
now be made the subjects Of executive
clemency, and be F'pardoned out" What
a perfect farce does all this make of JUS
| ticei Let us at once tear down our Court
Houses, and dfsperse our courts, if this is
to be the final issue of their proceedings!
1t has come to such pass now, that no
criminal expects to serve out his full time.
| When man has been fairly tried for a
crime, in an impartial tribunal, after hav-
ing all the benefit ofable counsel, his own
presumed innocence, and the other shields
that the tenderness of the law throws
around the accused; and yet, is justly
convicted and sentenced; that sentence
should be carried out, and nothing should
be allowed to interfere with it.-Nea0ark
