During the delivery Of the charge
the jury gave the strictest attention to
every word the Chief Justice uttered.
The Court room was crowded with
spectators, and as soon as the jury had
retired a rush was made toward the
dock to get view of the prisoner, aud
it was some minutes before Crier Smith
succeeded in restoring order.
The family of the prisoner are worthy
of men tion: his home was in a log cab
in containing one room, situated about
one mile ont of Odessa. His mother is

A MARVELLOUS DISCOVERY.
Organic Life In Other Planets.

A Special despatch from Berlin to a
London newspaper says: A marvellous
discovery was made full year ago by
a German lawyer named DR.. o. Hahn,
but 40 incredible did it seem that the
learned world refused to take notice OF
it with one exception. DR.. ID. +.
Weinland devoted a whole year 10
study Hahn's book and to test thor.
oughly his microscopic researches and
their results. He now publishes his
opinions, and declares that Hahn has
proved the existence of organic remains
in the stones which dart into the ter
restrial atmosphere from stellar space.
From museums in Tubingen and In
Vienna, Hahn procured himself more
than 600 chips of meteorites OF the
Cboadrite class, proved in each case to
be genuine, and having been collected
on eighteen different occasions, partly
during the last century, in Europe,
Asia and America. Minute inspec-
tion has discovered in them quantity
of organic remains, principally In the
most ancient form of porous corallines
to the genus of fossil zoophitos denom-
mated Favosites or at least bearing a
very stroug resemblance to these latter,
though of a still smaller type. About
5Okinds of these tiny animals have been
made out by DIR. Hahn and assigned to
six different families, to which he has
given names, thus laying the founda-
ton of a new branch Of zoology -ne-
teoric zoology.
DR.. Weinland says that it is only
the she'll of the Choadrite meteorite
that is burnt and glazed by friction
with our atmosphere. The hea does
not extend so far during the short tran
sit of the meteor as to impair the ker-
mel, which has an appearances some
what like coarse she'll lime, OF con-
glomeration OF petrified organic matter,
baked in a lump. Though Only lew
specimens can be called we'll preserved
vet the substance is sufficiently distln
guishsble to enable us to class most OF
the structures among the Holycistines
and the Faraminfera. They must have
existed in water warm enough never
to freeze down to the bottom -
Where are we to seek for this water, II
Prot. Schiaparelli tells US that meteor
ties do not belong to our solar system,
but are intrud ers from without? Very
strange is the complete resemblance OF
all the cuttings examined to one anoth-
or, though, as stated, they belong to
stones fallen at different periods In all
parts of the globe.

The Russian Jews,

LONDON, May 24.--The Official Mes
senger of st. Petersburg publishes the
regulations agreed upon by the com.
mittee of the Ministers and approved
by the Emperor on the 10Th inst. Thoy
provide that Jews shall henceforth be
prohibited from settling outside Of
towns and villages, except where Jew
ish settlements already exist.
Jews are prohibited from trading on
Sundays and Cosistian holidays. The
regulations apply only to governm ents
whereJews are rernenantlysettled. All
contracts of purchase or tenancy with
Jews are Professionally suspended. The
Official Messenger also announces that
by order Of the Emperor the
government is 6rmly resolved
to punish inexorlbly all out
RACES against the persona and property
of Jews, seeing that the latter are un-
der the protection of the laws, which
are binding upon all subjects of the
Car. Governors and other authorities
are therefore commanded on their per
sonal responsibility to take timely
measures to prevent or suppress Outra
ges against Jews. Any remissness will
entaii dismissal from office. The regu'
ations in regard to the Jews are only
temporary, in view of the final solution
OF the uneStiOn.

Mich ael Sherry as q Policeman

a daughter of Michael Sherry, a
Ninth Ward policeman, called at the
REPUBLICAN office this afternoon to
defend her father from an article which
appeared two or three days ago, stating
that Mr.. Sherry was weak and dis
crepit old man not able to arrest disor-
derly CAT. The lady admitted that some 4
months ago Mr.. Sherry had paralytic
stroke, but he Immediately recovered
from its effects and is able bodied now
as he ever was before. She resented the
imputation Indignantly, and thought if
some of the other policemen did their
duty as well there would be less de-
bauchery and crime, especially amongst
girls and boys that were going to ruin.
We would append word and say that
a prominent Republican informed us
that Mr., Sherry was one Of the best
policemen on the force, and insinuated
that the disgusted Democrat referred to
was actuated by some sinister motive.

which at present, there is great doubt,

Americans AZ Orators,

Daniel Webster was much more than
an orator. But in his own lifetime his
oratory often appeared to overshadow
his other claims to distinction. The
most celebrated of American citizens of
his generation, and perhaps the most
honored and beloved, he was never ac-
ccpted by the whole body even of
American liberals as their rightful cam
didate for the presidency. Only when
startled by the sad surprise of his death
they began to repent of the opportunity
they had missed Of clarifying their side.
Since the grave closed upon him the
splendor Of his rhetorical triumphs has
almost altogether eclipsed his fame as a
jurist and statesman. That the re-
nown of an orator should survive at all
must always indicate more than ordinary
endowments Of speech. That it should
survive in the United States betokens
marvellous eloquence. Ability to speak
In public is common TO all Americans,
excepting Gen. Washington and, per-
haps Gen. Grant. An American who
studied at Cambridge some forty years
siiSu lCCoIuN VIZ iulNc oui plIoC nV icib
at discovering himself an object Of
academcal admiration for being able to
make set speech without preparation.
Every American could do the same, he
avows. The best judges, experts, and
rivals listened enraptured to Daniel
Webster, whether arguing in the SUI
prcme court, addressing congress- or de-
claiming at Bunker hill, or in Faneuil
hall, or on a bare, bleak rock at New
Plymouth. With one accord they recog-
nized their master; they could deny him
neither their tears nor their judgments.
The art is not dead in Europe. England
has two orators left. France has al least
one. The American union has not a
few. But we suspect there is something
wanting to their efforts which was pres.
ent still when Daniel Webster expired
thirty years ago. Words are rs flowing
and glowing as they were; II is the
hearts Of the hearers which are no moro
receptive and imprcssblc. The festival
which honors tho memory of Daniel
Webster reminds this age at once Of q
man who took its predecessor captive
by the magic of speech and of its own
loss Of the faculty for abandoning itself
to the Same delicious enthrallment.--
