story:
When John Tyler was President, the
Wing party was displeased with him, and
said many grievous things to his disad-
vantage. The Presiden. took trip and
made short stay in small country vii

the culture which she impaired TO her
pupils. She drew them up in line
and propounded the following questions:

A ST, Joseph, Mo, special to the Chicago
Times of the 10Th INST. says;
Sam Kelley, a son of Judge Henry Kelley
lives in Savannah with has father, on the edge
of town. About 0 O'Clock last night he got a
young coloIed man who Is deaf and dumb to
take "A note out home, telling his mother he
would not be home. The boy went TO the front
door of Kcley's house and gave the bell a pull
AT las, Mrs Kelley came to the door, and be
fore opening II asked who was there. There
was no reply but the boy kept tumbling at the
knob. Mrs. Kelley became scared, probably
because burglarles have been very numerous
Of late and went and called her son, Byron
Kelley about % years of age, who, after yell
ing who's there" What do you want :!
etc, quite a while, concluded that the person
outside meant evil Kelley took his shot . TN
which was heavily charged with buckshot
and, slipping outside OF the house and around
to the front, blazed away at the object in the
dark. A groan was all that was heard as the
poor man tell to the ground The load took
effect in his groin, At last accounts the poor
fellow was alive, but no hopes are entertained
of his recovery When the Kelleys had found
out what the rash son had done their grief was
profound. The ColOrcd uian had long been a
resident Of Savannah, and was liked by all
and especially by the kellcys. He was taken
in by the Kelleys, and all that kindness and
science can do is beng done to save him.

THE CRUEL MURDER.
A Verdict OF the Jury Prescribing One
Hempen Rope.

The speeches in the trial of the State Of
Tennessee as Sandy Matthews, charged with
the murder of Essick Polk, excited SO much
public interest that the Criminal Courtroom
was crowded yesterday with people of all
classes. At the time OF the discovery of the
murder, the APPEAL gave the completest
details OF the crime, and a repetition
of those details would be unnecessary
now. The opening speech for the
prosecution was made by Mr.. Samuel
Weakley, one OF the promising younger
members Of The bar. He spoke for three
quarters Of an hour in a manly, unvarnished
manner, without any attempt at pyrotech-
mics, and made fine impression on the jury.
Speeches for the defense were made by Mr..
J. T. Moss and Colonel Douglass. The only
hope for the defense was to impeach the
character of the young woman who had
given Matthews away. This proved
10 be a difficult matter Her testimony
on the stand was complimented for its
straightforw ardness and The failure to i'm
peach it. The effort had been made to show
that she bore n bad character in the COM
munity, but it was not done very SUCCESS
fully. This outlet for escape was eagerly
seized by the defense, but the result proved
that they did not make much from it.
General q. z. NJ. Turner, made the clos
ing speech for the State. He declared that
in all his experience as q lawyer at the bar
and as attorney general he had never come
across so mOnstrous case. He said
that Matthews was a demon in every
respect. The testimony showed it. and his
countenance showed it beyond cavil. He
had never been called upon TO prosecute a
case in which his conscience felt so clear at
asking a conviction of murder in the first
degree as this. The case was simply COM
pIete. The girl had narrated all the details
OF the case, before the body Of Polk was dis

ARE YOU A CORRESPONDENCE
The Question Propounded by President
MADDEN TO q Minnesota Irishman
and a st. Louis Negro.

Yesterday morning an Irishman was pre-
scented before President HaddeD, charged
with being drunk.
"Where are you from?" asked the presi.
dent.
"Minnesots"
"Don't you know that none of the saloons
are kept open after IL o'clock at night?"
81 didn't know it, or | would not have
gone in any of them?"
"What are you doing down here?"
"Pm looking at the flood, yer honor"
care you a newspaper correspondent"
"l'm dacent honest man, Mr.. Hadden."
al thought, maybe, you were writing for
some of the Minnesota papers"
81 may write something for the Pioneer
Press, of ST. Paul"
"Well, you can go. Call the next prisoner"
The next prisoner was a negro tramp from
St. Louis.
"What are you doing there, Nebuchad-
nezzsr?" asked the President.
''Oh Pse viewin' de devastation and de
ribber."
"Are you correspondent for any of the
papers?".
''No, sir; l amt"
DWELL, you needn't get indignant about it.
All the great newspapers are sending cor
respondents down here, and l thought you
N ight be writing for one OF them"
''No sir; / writes 10 my wife; but 1 don't
know whedder she sends de letters to de
newspapers or not"
"Well don't you do it any more, or I'll
have to send you to the Island"
President MADDEN seems to think that
every man presented before him for being
drunk must be a Northern newspaper cor
respondent.
