MiscegeneratiOn.

There has just been tried in the
United States District Court at Cleve-
land Ohio, a case which on its face was
not much out of the ordinary, but
which had one or two very remarkable
characters connected with it. The
case, as reported in the papers here,
was simply: Omitted States VS.. William
Jones, for unlawfully obstructing the
correspondence of another, and en-
bezzling a letter Found guilty"
That was all that was said. William
Jones. the defendant, is as black as the
ace of spades; and, as his eloquent at
torney said in his argument, "He, and
his father for ages, had felt the iron
hand Of oppression. He was born on
the rice-fields of the South, and labored
there for many years until freed by the
great martyr Presidents proclama-
ton"
The history Of the case is soon told.
| relate it for the purpose of giving an
account of the prosecuting witness.
William Jones, the defendant in this
case, is a resident of Salem, in this
State. In his house lived couple by
the name of Alexander; the husband,
( IL
white woman. At the time of the en-
bezzling of the letter, Alexander was in
neighbOring town at work, and his
wife was said to be at home sick. Jones
obtained from the post office the letter
from Alexander addressed to his wife,
and detained it for day or twO-be
heving, it is claimed, that there was
money in it, but, on finding out to the
contrary, he gave up the document,
saving he had obtained it from a news
boy on the train 1t is thought that
Jones took the letter believing that Al
exander had RENTED money to his
wife in that way, and that he would
| thus secure 1t.
Now for q few words of history of the
prosecuting witness, Mrs. Alexander.
| This woman is niece of Chief Justice
/ Agnew, of Pennsylvania She has two
| brothers who are prominent attorneys
/ before the oar of Pennsylvania; is her
/ self beautiful and accomplished, and a
/ graduate of one of the best Institutions
of learning in the State of Pennsylya-
mia. She was reared in luxury, and
was the daughter of wealthy father;
/ vet she chose to leave all and elope
/ ana tie Her fortunes " Il WOIbuItoo COI-
ored man. Had he been wise, or cul-
| tured, or good, there might have been
some possible means of explanation.
But this man was none of these. He
was one Of the most worthless of his
race; and yet she stuck to him, and
/ loved him, and has continued true to
I him until the present.
| When asked by the District Attorney
how she became attached to Alexander,
she said
"My father and mother were cross to
me, and did not love me as | thought.
| had plenty to eat and to wear, to be
sure; but was not content with this.
1t was a schoolgirls whim, suppose,
but | made up my mind to marry the
| first offer had, and get away from an
unpleasant home. Ny present hus-
band was son Of our washer-woman.
/ He was kind and attentive to me, and
| soon began to love him, and he saw
! it. We were both inexperienced IN
| life, but we decided to run away and
marry, and did so. We have been
very poor, and | have been sick great
deal; but have never ceased to love
my husband.

Anecalntes OF LINCOLN.

Mr.. L. J. Cist has collected for Gin
cinnati paper some interesting anee-
dotes on the martyred President. In
1882, when D years old, Lincoln was
induced by his friends to run as Il
Wing candidate for the Legislature, and
made his maiden speech as follows:
Gentlemen, Fellow-citizens: | am
humble Abraham Lincoln. | have
been solicited by many friends to be-
come candidate for the Legislature.
Ny politics are short and sweet. like an
old woman's dance. | am in favor of q
national bank. L am in favor of the
internal improvement system and a
protective tariff. These are my senti-
ments and political principles, If
elected. will be thankful. If not, it's
all the same" He was not elected at
that time.
There resided IN Springfield, in 1860,
an Irish laborer, John McCarty by
name, a red-hot Democrat. Shortly
after the Presidential election Mr.. Lin
coin was walking past the public square,
where John was at work cleaning out
the gutter As the President-elect drew
near, McCarty, pausing in his work and
holding out his hand said bluntly:
''An' so yer elected President. are ye2
Faith, an it wasn't by my vote We wur. ;"
"Well, yes, John" replied Mr. Lincoln,
shaking hands very cordially, ''the pa
pers say I'm elected, but it seems odd
/ should be when you went against
me" "Well, Misther Lincoln, said
John, dropping his voice lest, some
brother Democrat should hear him,
"I'rn glad you got it, afther all. Its
mighty little pace I've had wild Biddy
for votin' forninst We, an if ye'd been
bate she'd hev druv me from the shanty
as shure's the wurruld" Give my
compliments to Biddy. John, and tell
her I'll think seriously of woman's suf-

the vitality Is very low. With return
ing activity of the senses she begins the
retchings; the spasmodic efforts of ma
ture continue throughout the day, until
exhausted she falls into the unsatisfac-
tory sleep described.
Within the past few days, owing to
the strain on her throat by frequent
contractions of the muscles during the
retching, she has substantially lost her
voice, and is now unable tospeak above
a whisper. A constant fever attends
her, accompanied by an inordinate
thirst. She cannot drink any more
than eat, and is in reality like the an
cient mariner, with water, water every
where, and not drop to drink.
Dr. Robertson, who has had the case in
charge from the first, has made very
careful note of her symptoms each
day He says the trouble lies in the
arrangement of the nervous system,
and a sympathetic irritation of the
bowels. His treatment of the case is a
stimulating application, tending to re-
store the peristatic movement in that
region, and he still has hopes that with
the assistance of the naturally strong
constitution possessed by the patient,
he NAV be able to restore the natural
action. She is now about 80 years of
age, and has been twice married, her
present husband being Henry Ingram
teamster. She is the mother of
three children. As a girl she was
known as Nellie Dunn, and was a
healthy robust, specimen of
blooming health, and the possessor Of
a more than ordinarily fine constitu-
ton, which did not yield to advancing
