KENwARp PHILIP.
Alleged Author of the Morey Chinese
Letter.
Huntington (vt.) Roview.l

| lburiihSton (Nt.) Roview.l
Philip came to this country from Eng.
landin 1S66,and had newspaper connec-
tions with the New York Star, the
Brooklyn Monthly, and the Brooklyn
Union, while Theodore Tilton was
editor of the latter. He was live
Journalist and full of fun and, we might
say, ssdeviltry." At one time he in
vited a large number of reporters to a
spread at Delmonico's, and just before
the waiter carried around the checks,
was conviently called out. The result
was that each guest paid for his own
"grub," and this was only done by a
general pooling of the cash of all the
poxt5s md then sundry watches and
charms h0d to lie In pawn. If we re-
member correctly, it cost each in the
end some $40 for that champagne sup
per. The night before he wound up
his connection as managing editor of
the Union he invited the reportorial
stall to his room, and remarked that a
certain application for increase of sala-
ries, through his representation to the
proprietors, had been f,,vorably acted
upon, and n subscription for hand
some watch properly engraved as a
recognition of his services was prompt.
ly filled up. Before quitting the office
the next day for good, Philip wore the
watch in his vest pocket. 1t was a
good sell, and so well done that one
and all forgave the actor. 1t Is need
less to say that tho eXigencies of the
Union at that time demanded a reduc-
tion, which took effect at tho verftable
time that Philip promised an increase.
Philip generally did things on the
spur of the moment, and when he
determined to take unto himself wife
1t was not after waiting. In conse-
quence he was lily prepared; at least
he did not have swallowtail coat.
But good-natured Joe Howard had one
and an order for it on Joe's wife was
solicited and received. The good lady.
recognizing her husbands city editor,
sent him up into her husbands dress,
ingroom. Philip emerged in COM
plete suit, both outer and under.
After the ceremony the outfit was
pawned. Simpson furnishing ticket,
which was mailed to Howard from Al
bany. Philip is not a bad-hearted fell
low, whatever be said. Heretofore
his very audacity has protected him.

IMPORTANT TO MAGISTRATES.

MONROE, La, NOV. l2th, lSSO.
To Justices of the Peace of the Par
| ishes of Ouachita and Richland, 9th
! Judicial District.
Gentlemen 81 call your attention to
the law in regard to criminal cases, to
correct an error into which some have
| fallen, of issuing warrants and making
them returnable before the Judge of
the District for examination, in cases
which should be disposed of by the
Justice. You will find your general
Jurisdiction in criminal matters de-
fined by Art. 125 Of the Constitution of
1879. Your criminal jurisdiction as
committing magistrates is specially de-
fined by Art. 126 of the Constitution,
and by which alone you should be
governed. 1t says: "They-( -(Justices
of the Peace) shall have criminal juris-
diction as committing magistrates,
and shall have power tos bail of dltsl
charge in cases not capital or necessar-
lily punishable at hard labor"
You have, thefore, power to bail or
discharge in all cases not capital or
necessarily punishable in the Peni-
tentiary at hard labor.
Capital cases are those where death
is the penalty, such as murder, incest,
rape, arson, shooting at or stabbing
with intent to commit murder, under
circumstances defined in Section 700
Revised Statutes. In such cases you
may issue warrants upon afidavits,
summon and examine witnesses, re-
duce their testimony to writing and
commit to Jail; but you are not author
lied to admit the accused to bail or dis
charge them, and should forward the
affidavit, warrant and order of COM
mitment to tho Clerk of your rcspec.
tive District Courts, leaving the ac-
cused in custody of the Sheriff until
further orders.
In cases not capital and necessarily
punishable at hard labor in the peni-
tentiary, such as manslaughter, rob-
berry, shooting or stabbing with intent
to commit murder, rape or robbery,
attempt to procure abortion, stealing
horse, ass or mule, forgery, counter
feiting, willfully setting fire to certain
buildings and other property or at
tempting to do 50, burglary, perjury,
rescuring or aiding in the rescue of
persons found guilty of capital crimes
and other crimes, the punishment for
which you will find in the Revised
Statutes, under, the title of "Crimes
and Offences" page 156, you are also
not authorized to bail or discharge,
but may issue warrant, summons wit
nesses, examine and reduce testimony
to writing, commit and forward testi-
mony and all papers to the Clerk of
tho District Court.
In all cases not capital or necessarily
punishable at hard labor, the punish
ment for which you will find for each
case in Revised Statutes, you are
authorized to issue warrants, summon
witnesses, take and reduce testimony
a -. .,:I ,x,:k
lege Of giving bond, fixing the
amount thereof, designating the Off
Ger to take and approve the same, or
discharge the accused, according to
your Judgment in each case.

L. J. MCCORMICK, a native Of Rock
bridge County, Va, but now wealthy
Chicagoan, some time ago presented the
University of Virginia with telescope
costing $50, 900, which is the largest in
the world. William H. Vanderbilt has
since donated S25, 900 to the University
for the purpose of building an Observa-
tory, and the officers of the institution
are endeavoring. with good prospects If
success, to raise an additional $50, 900 to
be applied to the building.
WHILE an old man by the name of
JAS A. Jones was taking care of a bull
belonging to DR.. Washburn. in Jasper
County, Mo. the animal became infuri-
ated and charged upon him with the
fury of a wild beast. He gored him in
the abdomen. letting his intestines fall
out, and ripped open his thigh almost to
the bone. After being thus mangled,
the old man hitched the terrible brute to
his place in the barn, and then walked
to the house, but died the next day.
PROBABLY the most beautiful woman
ever involuntarily within the walls of the
Virginia Penitentiary is young girl
of about twenty-five, who was sent there
about six months ago from ono of the
southwestern counties, where she was
convicted of horse-stealing. She not
only possesses personal attractions, but
is quite intelligent, and her manners are
quite pleasing. The fair convict might
readily be taken for a city belle, if she
had her liberty, insteadof an inmate of a
cell, charged with the unromantic and
unwomanly crime Of horse-stealing.
The New Orleans Picdyunc says Of
Louisiana's cotton king: The agricul-
tural operations Of Col. Edward Rich
ardson are on a scale unequaled any
where in the United States, ndprobably
in the whole world Scores of vast cot
ton plantations, the management of any
one of which requires superior skill and
experience, scattered through Louisiana
and Mississippi, are successfully handled
by this able man. His landed posses,
sions rival those Of the proudest estates
of the English nobility both in area and
value, and many of the German Princes
have fewer subjects than he has employees
on his payroll.

from the church had not the sleigh at
the moment arrived at the door. In
faltering accents the girls told the driver
what had happened. He laughed at
them and questioned from what dircc-

pointed to the pulpit, and armed with
huge whip he started thither.
"Ill show you what fools you are TO

the sentence with "Devils! and beat a

them, black as the ace of spades, with
immense mouths, and great white rings

and armed with instruments that made

There was no standing upon the order
of their going. Every one OF the COM
pany rushed to the sleigh, tumbled in
promiscuously, and with horses lashed
to their utmost speed, were driven away.
And the last they saw of the imps of
darkness they were dancing regular
break downs upon the steps of the
church. with fOrked and lurid flames
playing fitfully around them!
That was the story they heard: but
the boys had merry time over it as
they removed wigs, washed off the cork,
and settled down again; the last audible
remark being that of Larry:
"By my soul, that was a brilliant
idea of mine to open the door of the
stove and let the flames fash out"

they had many adventures, they never
again enacted the part Of satan in a
