on the street. "Many years ago I was
the attorney in suit against that young
lady's father. We fought it through the
courts, and after long siege of eight
years beat him in the Supreme Court
Some years later l was elected to con-
gress, and one day this young lady asked
me to help her to place in Washington,
where she could earn money to support
her mother. She explained that some
persistent and heartless lawyer had for
eight years pushed suit against her
father, ruined him in business point of
view, and turned the family out of house
and home. She, of course. did not sus-
pect that I was the lawyer, but, under
the circumstances, felt like making an
effort to get her a place, and she got it. "
That was an episode worthy of elabor.
| alton, but as the speaker was in the
midst of a remark to the effect that
young girl who had lost father had a
letter of credit to any mans heart, he
| stopped short as two ladies in mourning
passed, by their side bright.looking
boy. These were Mrs. Carpenter, daugh-
ter and son, and the congressman burst
| out with, Tho papers tol tho story about
that boy saying what he was going to do
for living: Il would like to drive hack
but I suppose I will have to be SENATOR
but why don't they shed more light on
his character, by telling low, after his
father died, he insisted on sleeping alone
night after night in tue room that had
been his father's?" "And the daughter"
said another, "who made such an effort
to control her feelings, why don't the
papers get hold of the most touching in
cident of her great trial? She bore up
until they were about to leave their house
the other day.. when, at the very last, the
servants made an attempt to drive the
dead Senator's favorite dog out of the
house. The animal wouldn't go; return
ed after every struggle to the door of tie
room where he had last seen his master.
This scene was too much for the daughter
and she lost all control of herself.
"Again, when she went one morning
to a lawyers Office to take the proper
steps in regard to the life-insurance pol
icy assigned to her, she met, in the Ian
guage of the assignment, "a warm tribute
to my dear daughter Lillian, written in
her dead fathers hand. 1t was to her
like voice from the grave, and the par

present had ever witnessed.
''Senator Conkling choked up the
other day in making a pas ling reference
to Carpenters nearnes5 to his associates
If he was SO near to them, what must
have been his nearness to that boy and
girl 2"
New YORK, March 25.-The Times
editorially says: Isaiah NJ. Kalloch has
been acquitted in San Francisco of the
murder of Charles de Young, proprietor
Of The Chronicle, killed last summer
This result of the trial will surprise those
of our readers who can recall to mind the

had been long and bloody feud between
the Kallochs and DeYoungs, the father
of the man who has just been acquitted
having been shot and wounded by Charles
De Young on a certain night. Isaiah Nj.
Kalloch walked into The Chronicle office
with pistol in his hand and shot De
Young to death. This was the original
version of the affair, and there was no
other version until the trial, when the
defense produced witness, who swore he
was standing outside of the Office, before
the window, and he heard pistol shot
as soon as Kalloch entered, and before
Kalloch began to shoot. The theory of
the defense was that De Young shot first,
and that Kalloch merely defended him
self. This theory was accepted by the
jury, who were evidently willing to be
convinced that Kalloch should be acquit-
ted. In any case his defense raised the
doubt and the defendant was given the
benefit of it.

Gently occupied the prison at Patchefst-
room, 500 yards from the fort held by

San Francisco, March 24.-After be-
ing out twenty four hours the jury in the
Kalloch case this afternoon brought in a

fendant was heartily congratulated by

and got in carriage to go home, an i'm
mense crowd took the horses from the
vehicle and pulled him to his house some
three miles.
LONDON, March 24-Gen. Roberts has

but return hcme. Gen. Newdigate was
also recalled. Gen. Wood telegraphs
the massacre of a portion of the 94th
Regiment at Bunkers' Spruit the 10Th OF
December last, would come within the
terms of amnesty granted the Beers, and
British prestige in the Transvaal had not
suffered from the terms of peace.
