Total from 1889 to 1885.

In the seventy-two years prior to the
civil war, the South possessed the
Presidency for forty-nine years. The
extraordinary contributions of Virginia
to the Presidency were due, not at all
to her location, but to the unusual re-
lations of her strong men to the Cow
ernment during the period Of tho
Revolution and the settlement of the
Constitution. Virginia has furnished
no President since Monroe went out in
1924, unless we count the accidental
service of John Tyler whose selection
as the Whig candidate for Vice Presi-
dent in 1910 was the result of an
intrigue.
Tennessee and Illinois stand next to
Virginia. The sixteen years during
which a Tennessee man has occupied
the White House include the eight years
of Andrew Jackson, who would have
been just as strong a candidate if he
had been born in Delaware or Rhode
Island. They include also the four
years of Andrew,J johnson, who was not
elected to the .soilice of President. OF
the two Presidents from Illinois, Lin
coin was not nominated because no
hailed from State it was important to
carry; and Grant, at the time of his
candidacy, was regarded more rs
citizen of the United States at large
than as a son of illinois. Utica m. y

Mr.. Wallace made the opening address for the
prosecution. After calling the attention of
the jury to the nature of the oath they had

sonat-er sentimental bias he proceeded to
read theindictme Mt, which charges the killing
of one Frank Mcmillan on July 10, 1881, at or
near Winston, in this State. The first count
is for murder in the first degree. The second
for murder in committing robbery, and the
third in being accessory with Jessa lanes an i
others unknown to the crime which forms the
basis of this case. Mr.. Wallace then discussed
motives for murder alleging the lowest kind
of motive to be that motive in murder for
money, which was the fact in this case. The
evidence in the case would be that the Rock
Winston, by five men, and that In this robbery
the men killed Mr.. WestfalI the conductor
and Frank Mcmillan, a stouemason, on the
train. He would show that the robbery and
killing referred to was committed by the
James gang, whose history he proceeded to

action of the gang; also to the shooting of
Mcmillan. his falling from the platform of the
car, and the subsequent finding of his lifeless

Adds E. Walcot, engineer Of the train, de-
tailed the occurrences on the engine. Charles
n. Murray, the express agent, related his ex-
perience with the robbers. Drs. Claggett and
Brooks, of Winston. testified as to the nature
of McMillan's wound. w. l.. Earthman, of

man he had known at Nashville under the
name of WoOdson, as did also Mr.. James, de
pot master at Nashville Mrs. Sarah Hite and

Trapping SparrOws.

A lady living in quiet street at Clit-
ton, Staten Island, has contributed an
idea to the discussion as to what is to
be done with the sparrows. She eats
them From q rear basement window
of her house the lower sash has been re-
moved, and instead, wire contrivance
has been placed there which is in tho
form of a half cylinder. IL is SO del-
cately balanced that as soon as spar
row alights on a projecting bar IFS
weight carries the contrivance half way
around, where it is stopped suddenly
by striking a projecting knob. That
startles the bird, which finds itself car
ried by its own weight and the slow
revolution Of the wheel, into a largo
cage inside the room. The sparrow
finds a score of its kind in the cage,
that many being kept there as decoys
to interest other sparrOws in the neigh
borhood.
A liberal quantity Of grain is kept
scattered near the outside Of the trap,
and a weIl-filled cup of it rests directly
beneath the bar on which the birds hop
for the purpose of procuring hearty
meal.
''Why should I not eat them?'' the
lady said to a reporter. II know the
law forbids killing them, but not on
ones own premises. 1t takes about
thirty of them to make pie. II is a
delicate dish to eat. The little things
are as plump, and fat, and sweet as
any bird known. If they were pot in
such fine condition, and did not live SO
well, they would clear the trees Of cal
erpillars, and be too busy hunting food
to fight and make noise as they DO with
their chirping and chattering. But
. ,~,fr in tufr
borhood, believe. / learned to mako
use of them on the table by seeing my
mother do it in England, where these
cages and reels are quite common. 1
never entrap them while they have
young. 1t would be cruel 10 leave tho
little ones on the nest to starve. But
afterward ] keep the grain out all tho
time, and the old birds bring the fiedg
lings to such an easy feeding ground
quite naturally, SO that generally get
the whole family at last. IN y Sun.
