he was cramped, and then disappeared. The

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2nd, 1881.
ED. FREE PRESS M. j. Reilly who kill
cd Mr.. Hatch few months ago was dis
charged by Judge Laughlin of the crimi-
nal court this morning. The jury were told
to 60 home, and the trial cut short by the
jndge declaring the killing justifable on the,
ground of self-defence. This proceeding.
was followed by congratulations hand shak-
ing and roisterous supper at the Laclede
Hotel. The following is an editorial COM
ment in Tho Evening Chronicle of this city:
Judge Laughlin's decision in the Reilly
Hatch murder case is q precedent of value
to Lotharios. If you, have been too intimate
with another mans wife, 60 armed to the
teeth and, if you meet the one you have
foully wronged, shoot him dead before he,
can shoot you.
The above is about what the court declared
the law to to be, and your correspondent con-
cludes that with the theory of our Supreme
Court in regard to 'premeditation" and the
theory of Judge Laughlin in regard to ''self-
Defence" ST. Louis offers unsurpassed facili-
ties for murder.
We are experiencing a sort of coal famine
in consequence of serious trouble with the
miners, and the gathering gloom of winter
and the coming of bitter frost makes the sit,
uation of the many here rather critical.
Judge d. Robert Barclay delivered lee
ture in answer to Ingersoll at Sedalia last
night. The Congregational Church was
densely crowded with cultured and appre-
ciative audience who cheered him to the,
very echo. His unanswerable and relentless
logic cut right and left like two edged
Damascus blade. He cheered, charmed and
brought the widest applause in his answer
to Ingersolls disrespectful allusion to Wo-
man in the Old Testament. and with match
less eloquence portrayed Sarah the beaut!-
full maiden, the noblest of wives, the faith
full, praying mother. He told the story Of
Rebekah, the bride of Isaac, and spoke Of
Miriam watching the fate of her sist' 's
child Moses, and of Deborah and Jepth q
daughter also the beautiful story of Ruth
and the royal Esthers love and devotion to
her people. Judge Barclay is an ornamonI
to the ST. Louis Bar, man of splendid at
tainments, brilliant i'll conversation, afiaoo
and unpretentious, and in personal appear
ance very handsome. We fondly hope this
champion of our cause willsoon speak again.

BRIGHTLY HAST THOU FLED.

Brightly, brightly hast thou fed
Ere one grief had bowed thy head
Brightly didst thou part
with thy young thoughts pure from spot,
with thy fond love wasted not,
With thy bounding heart
Meier by sorrow to be wet,
Calmly shines thy pale cheek yet.
Ere with dust o'ersprsad;
Lilies ne'er by tempest blown,
white rose which no stain hath KNOWN
Be about thee shed
So we give thee to the earth,
And the primrose shall have birth
O'er thy gentle head;
Thou that, like dewdrop borne
On q sudden breeze Of morn
Brightly thus hast fed

Pearls In Tennessee.

A new industry has sprung up
in Rutherford county, Tenn. A cor
respondent says;
At first only few persons could be
found wading in the river and ASST
duously hunting mussels which yielded
fine pearls, which were readily sold.
Now not less than 500 people are en-
gagged daily in raking the bottom of the
stream. delving down in the mud for
mussels, which are piled along the
banks, opened and critically examined
for the treasures contained in many of
them. 1t will not be long before a
mussel may not be found in the river in
the locality mentioned. The americans
informant says that one pearl was Sc
cured that brought $50 in New York.
The general range of value, however,
was from 80 cents to $25.

At the Omaha National Bank may be
seen 500 bill executed entirely with
pen by some expert penman and forger.
1t is very skillfully done, and not one
person out of hundred would detect
it without the closest examination, and
even then the chances are that the de-
lection would be purely accidental. It
is executed in all the various colored
inks used on bank notes, and even the
paper itself is made to look like bank
note paper by little strokes of the pen.
This bill is really wonderful curiosity.
1t was paid to the bank by Govern
ment official, through whose hands it
passed without detection. It was re-
ceived at the bank. but it's true char
acter was soon afterwards discovered.
The execution of the bill probably
required two days hard work, which
would give the forger $40 day for his
labor. He has probably set afoat many
Of these bills, as we'll as bills of larger
denomination, and it is likely that the
twenty dollar bill above mentioned has
passed through hundreds OF hands
without detection.

Not Oh Speaking Terms.

In the San Francisco custom house
there was employed as night Waterman
character called Barney McGlone.
McGlone was known as a good humored,
ready witted fellow, but having had the
misfortune to incur the enmity of his
superior officer, the latter sought
eagerly with persistent malice to find
grounds sufficient upon which to rec
ommend Barney's removal. Night after
night he watched, bouncing. down at
unexpected hours, only to find Barney
vigilant at his post. Not word would
pass between them, the officer always
retiring baffied and mortified. At length
his persistency was rewarded. Barney
had been putting in his time at "poker,"
instead of strengthening himself by
sleep for his weary vigil from midnight
until morn, and the night being very
chilly, he wrapped himself in his over
coat and tried to steal fitful snatches of
sleep, hoping the night would be too
cold for his relentless pursuer to con-
tinue his hunt. He reasoned directly
opposite from the officer, who, guided
by the music of Barney's snoring, with
malignant joy stood watching the
sleeper in triumph moment, and then
called "McGlone |" No answer. "Mc-
Clone :" he shouted. Barney awoke
with cold chill running down his back
at the sound of his enemy's voice, but
kept silent, and simply stared at his in.
