Ir is said that On one occasion a high
Chinese dignitary visited the English
esoyernor of Hongkong. He was re-
eeived with all the honors, the band of
the garrison contributing a serenade
The next morning his Celestial High
ness sent for the leader of the baud and
expressed his thanks, saying that there
was one air that particularly pleased
him. He. could not name it, so the
leader Summoned his men, and made
them play through the whole pro-
gramme of the night before. But the
mandarin failed to recognize the air
that had struck his fancy. In despair
the leader directed his men to tune
up" preparatory to beginning over
again. When the tuning process began
the Celestial's eye frightened. "That'
Is" he exclaimed: ''that's it. More.

Our Tenure of Life

Depends in great measure upon our regard for

But that the span of existence allotted to natur-

is fact of which we have daily proof. The vl7i-

And measureless thy JOY or grief,

He again pressed the spring conceal
ed IN the tracery of the miniature
church window, when it few open, dis
closing not only the KEY but also a fold
ed paper lying snugly beside it. The
young widow quickly drew it out, and
dismlsslng the Italian and his now thor
oughly warmed children with renewed
thanks, proceeded to read the contents
OF the paper, which she found to be adj
dressed to herself. 1t contained long
list OF Jacob Montgomerys hitherto
private charities, accompanied with the
request that his widow should keep
them up should she be SO disposed
The document ended with an affection
ately expressed desire that after pro-
per time she should send for her old
lover, marry him and be happy.
Strangely enough, this proposed mar
rage at once became repellant to the
young widow. She now saw her eccen-
trio husbands character in new light,
and resolved to make the carrying out
OF his benevolent purposes her life
work. The pitiful efforts Of her hus-
band IN his last moments to call atten-
ton to the clock, was to acquaint her
with the Whereabouts of that paper, and
to make 1t known that the clock need
ed winding. At the very last it APP
peared that his acute perception had
detected the fact that the intricate works
or the instrument had run down, and
all his remaining vitality was consumed
IN the effort to convey the fact to his
attendants. She at once set about the
work that had been put into her hands
by such a curious train of circumstan-
ces, and when, just day before the
next Christmas carillons rung out from
the spire of st. Marks, the news came
to her that her old lover had married
an Italian signora, just one pang of lin
gerlng remorse visited her heart, and
the past was forever buried.

A Remarkable Case.

The trial of William Lloyd the negro
charged with the murder of Elmer Redefcr,
in August last, near the line of the p, w.
& Il. Railroad, in Hartford county, termi-
mated on Saturday last, in a verdict of ae-
quittal. Suspicion attached to Lloyd and
white fellow tramp, famed Sullivan, with
whom he was in company on he day of he
death OF Redefer, as being the murderers
and they were arrested on the following
day. Upon their arrest, Lloyd charged that
Sullivan did the killing and he would prove
it. Subsequently and after their committal
to the station house, in Baltimore, whittier
they had been taken, Lloyd confessed that
he was the guilty party and had shot Rede-
fer. This confession was repeated again to
the brother Of Relefer, who visited the
prison after he was taken to Belair and in
carcerated in Jail there.
1t appears, however, that on the evening
of the occurrence Lloyd had stopped to rest
at Chase's Station. Here he was informed
that man had been shot, up the line of the
railroad. This was about three and ;l-half
hours after the finding of Redefer by the
conductor of Il freight train, who first dis
covered him lying on the ground near Bush
river bridge, and took him to Perrymans-
vile, where he died some hours afterwards.
Lloyd, in his confession, told different sto-
ries OF the pistol, AMI also professed to have
robbed the body of Redcfer of small
amount of money. These he said at first,
he had hidden in a pile Of cross-ties, but on
search his statement was proved false, He
then declared he had thrown them into the
river. He appeared unmoved during the
progress of the trial, and gave his version OF
the f"css i'll the care, on the witness stand,
in, an uneinharraSse.i manner, denying that

Bargains at the " Bee Hive"
Circuit Court Proceedings.

The case of L. Il. Chase & Co. rs. Duncan
Neavey, which was on trial when we went
to press last week, was concluded on Satur-
day, by verdict for the defendant. We
inadvertently omitted to state, in the proper
place, that Noble 7. Biddle, Esq, was of
counsel for the defendant.
The case of Mary a. Cameron rs. the F.,
w. & b. Il. Il. Co was taken up on Satur-
day morning, and occupied the attention of
the Court till Friday. at 1ll2 O'Clock A. NJ,
when it was given to the jury, who, at the
time of going to press, were still out.
This action was brought to recover dam
ages from the defendants for obstructing the
tail race of the plaintiff, and damming the
water SO as to interfere with the action of
the water wheels in the mill. The obstruc-
ton was caused by a quantity of gravel
alleged TO have been washed into the race
from gravel pit close by, belonging to the
Company, by water diverted from its natu-
raj course by the agents of the Company.
On Saturday last the court and Jury, &C
coInpanied by the counsel and some of the
other officers OF the court, walked down to
the scene of the trouble, which is at the mill
on the Little Elk, formerly owned by the
late General Sites, and better known among
the old residenters of the county as the Red
Mill. The plaintiff was ably represented by
Albert Constable and K. e. Thaclerv, E.qs..
and Hon. Alexander Evans and William J.
