THE INSANITY DODGE.
BEFORE THE TRIAL.
BY DAVID HILL.

Here 1t is in the paper Jim, jest said twould be;
Stain how Billy war murdered by that ar rough
Mcgee.
Here is the account all printed in their sensational
way,
AS war penned by them reporters, who happened
down that day.
Jest notice how like an artist they've gone to work
to paint
That consumate william over to represent saint
"a good natured lookin feller, with looks, if not
sublime,
Are not the looks of villain whose heart is STEPPED
in crime"
Then here in another column. they've worked SEN
tence in,
That reads like fashy novel and S jest about thin.
"If he done that deed O. murder-of which some
doubts remain
He must, as it looks to reason have done it while
insane"
If he did the deed. Why, hang it 'Tis just plain
day.
Didn't they find i'm a-sneakin, an hidin' round that
way?%
war'n't all of his garments spotted, an red with
human gore,
An didn't they find his weapon all bloody the floor
Wer'n't he allus doing somethn' to telry a home?
Arnt he the pattern of Nero who watched a burnin'
Rome?
Isn't his heart as pitiless, an in a manner worse
Than Tarquins unnatural daughter, who trampled on
his corse?
Then what's the use O. workn in thet burned express
sive doubt
Then what's the use o sayin', he sartnly out?
'Sposin his father insane religious whim;
Is there any need o. graftin insanity into HIM?
Is there any use O. tryin' to cense a rotten egg?
A-praisin up the contents ola nasty whiskey keg?
Is there any use o. tryin to prove a man a saint,
When all of his daily actions show mighty well he
amt?
supposin he don't resemble monument O. sin;
Or his face show like mirror, his deviltry Within
Is that any sign his morals ar'nt rotten the
OF an apple, which the peen serenely kivers DER?
Now arn't down reporters or any singers of ink
l ar'nt down on them editors, who write up what
they think.
But am down on the custom that's lately been il
vogue,
Of tryin' to whitewash bold, consumate rogue
Give every vllainous rascal dungeon underground;
Place 'em in dungeon deeper than that where Pau
bound;
Place 'em in dungeon, say I, secure from pryn men
An where greedy reporter can't touch em with
pen.
An If this kind O. justice don't elevate their hair,
| Then make them act on the hemp rope, comedy il
air,
| An sooner or later, Jimmy, felonl lower his jaw
| AS if wasn't pleasure to waltz around the law.
/ Poor Billy! Only think oft How gay he was tha
| hight!
| Then TO be found in the mornin' in sech an awfu
| plight;
Murdered while quietly sleepin, alone thar in his bee
With nary a thought o. danger a-creepin through HI
head.
1t is sech coldbooded murders done by thet Mege
Thet sends feverish shiver a-creepin over me.
An hope they'll quickly hang i'm on gallows stron
an high
An, though the people in gen'ral, will forget tn
| crime,
An sort O. pity the villain, some do every time,
An play the insanity dodge to hide his sin away.

The suggestion has been made, and
it must be commended as a thorough
ly good one, that every town should
have stones set at some available
place, ON the true meridian, for a
permanent north and south line. This
would be of great assistance in all
future surveys, and save great deal
of trouble and expense in fixing

Moral decay in the family is the
invariable prelude to public corrup-
ton. It is false distinction which
we make between public integrity
and private honor. The man whom
you cannot admit into your family,
whose morals are corrupt, cannot be
a pure statesman. Whoever studies
history will be profoundly convinced
that a nation stands or falls with the
sanctity of its domestic ties. Rome
mixed with Greece, and learned her
motals. The Goth was at her gates
but she fell not till she was corrupt
ed and tainted at the heart. The do
mestic corruption preceded the polit-
ical. When there was no longer pu-
rity on her hearthstones, nor integri-
ty in the senate, then, and not till
then, her death-knell was rung.

The discovery of a deserted city,
sixty miles long, cut out of the rocky
face of winding cliff, rewarded the
efforts of Mr.. Stevenson's Smithson-
ian Institution exploring party dur
ing its researches in New Mexico and
Arizona the past season. This is by
far the most important find yet made
among the ancient haunts of the cliff
dwellers. Some of the houses con-
tain four or five dwellings, one on
top of the other, and on the plateau
above the cliff were found many ruins
of temples of worship built of we'll
cut square stones. A comparison of
the collections of pottery and imple-
ments gathered in the cliff houses by
the exploring party with those OBJ
tanned in the Pueblo villages strength
ems the theory that Pueblo Indians
are the degenerate descendants of
the once powerful race that built the
ruined cities of the plains, and then,
retreating before some more warlike
foe, carved out these singular dwell
ings on the sheer walls of dizzy prec-
ipices, both fortresses and homes.
Perhaps the hieroglyphic Inscriptions
seen by Mr.. Stevenson will one day
be deciphered and found to contain
the tragic history Of the wasting
away by wars and famines of this ILL
fated people who, like the coneys of
the Bible, made the rocks their refuge.
