NEGRO ELoQUENcE.-One of the
most remarkable cases, or rather
conclusion Of a case, that ever oc
Cured in the history OF jurispru
dence in this country, occurred in
Waxahachie during the last term OF
the District Court Of Ellis county.
A negro was indicted for entering
into a conspiracy to murder. IL,

fight made in his defense by hi.

he might say would have no weighs

law had been complied with, and Ii.
knew he must 60 to the penitentiary.
but that he had something to say for
the benefit of his colored friends
and, with the permission of the
court, lie would make few remarks.
The judge told him that he would
listen. The negro started of slowly
and deliberately reviewing the tes.i
mony, showing the Inconsistencies
of Witnesses statements, and then,
carried away with the idea of the
wrong done him, he burst fortl, in
strrsm of eloquence seldom heard.
When he sat down the Judge said,
"Sam, thought you guilty, l don't

judgment overruling your motion for
a new trial, and give you another
So eloqueutly had the ne.
gro presented his case that the
county attorney then dismissed the
case, aud the prisoner walked out Of
the courtroom a free man. This is
the first case in Texas, at least,
when man was brought up to be
sentenced that he was ever turned
loose. Every person present says
that the effort was the fines: one

AN ILLINOIS ROMANCE.
II was night.

Aud such II night.
The wind came in savage gns;:
from its lurking places on the Mo;u

cadence the requiem of the d, ine

one Of Chicago's most excellen,
mansions. For more than an hou,
he paced the apartment, never once
striking trot. This showed tina,
he was natural PAGER. In his RICH,
hand he held tiny piece Of paper
which futtered in the breeze created
by the clip he was going. That piece
Of paper WAS from Penelope McGuir
proud and naughty beauty, the
only daughter of a man whose de
mesne was one Of the most exten.
sive on Aberdeen street.
Perhaps she has been given the
young man the breeze in which the
note auttered.
But apparently, she hadn't.
No, no. The mlssive told him OF
her undying love, and how his i'm
age was never absent from her mai
den fancy. That looked as il you
could bet on the girl; but who can
tell the working OF woman's hearth
This is what bothered the young
man and had set him to pacing. He
had wooed the maid with all the ar.
dent nature Of his soul--and innu-
meratIe boxes Of candy.

swept away by sudden decline Of

himself at an inlaid ebony writing

Nothing could be more fit at the

his country, "frst in war, first in

Presidential Office. He made that
memorable precedent as a guide to
oil his successors, and as an unwrit-
ten law OF the American people. He
did SO in the light of prevalent fear
in the minds of the most ardent Of
the patriots who had achieved our
national independence and created
our system of free government, that
indefinite re.eligibility would degen.
crate into practical life tenure.
The vast power acquired by the
Federal Government over the cleo.

developed this danger until it dar-

THE GOLDEN SILENCE.

What though sing no other song ?
What though [ speak no other word !?
Is silence shame? Is patience wrong?
At least one song of mine was heard
One echo from the mountain air,
One ocean mnrlnur, glad and free
One sign that nothing grand or fair
In all this world was lost to me.
| would not wake the sleeping Tyre:
would not strain the cords o
thought;
The sweetest fruit of all desire
Comes In its own way, and comes
unsought.
Though all the bards of earth were
dead,
And all their music passed away,
What Nature wishes should be said,
She'll find the rightful voice to say!
Her heart is in the shimmering leaf,
The drifting cloud, the lonely sky,
And all We know of bliss and grief
She speaks i'll forms that cannot die.
The mountain peaks that shine afar,
The silent stars, the painless sea,
Are living signs of all we are,
And types of all we hope to be.
