NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Progress Of the O'Donnell
Trial.
Lockout Of Chicago Cigar
Makers.
O'DOnnell g Trial.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-the trial of
O'Donnell for the murder of Carey,
was resumed to-day. The courtroom
was crowded. Pryor sat behind
Charles Russell, senior counsel for
O'Donnell. The prisoners brother
was present. O'Donnell appeared
calm. Walter Young, the Point
Elizabeth cab driver, was called for
the defense, and testified that he had
frequently drove Carey's family
around Port Elizabeth, and they
ought to know him, When Mrs.
Carey and her son Ton denied it, he
was panic-stricken. He once said to
Tom Carey at Port Elizabeth. "You
are a fine fellow;why didn'tyou shoot
O'Donnell. When he shot your
father? Tom answered: II had no
revolver. I went to get it, but when
l went there it was gone, because my
father had it." Witness had men
toned this to other cab drivers.
Cross-examination did not materially
change his testimony.
No other witness being called for
the defence, Russell began his ad-
dress to the jury. He urged the jury
IN considering the case that they dis
miss from their minds all they may
have read upon the subject of killing
Carey. The prisoner did not deny
shooting Carey. The question for
the consideration of the jury was:
Did he do it under reasonable appre
hension of his own life? If so, they
should acquit him; if short of this,
and O'Donnell acted only under
threat of personal violence. They
should not convict him of murder,
although it might not be possible to
let him 60 free altogether. The state
ment was utterly false that O'DOn-
nell went on board the steamer Kin
faun's Castle to track Carey like
sleuth hound at the bidding of a
secret society. Russell said those
were only newspaper charges,
which he warmly denounced.
Russell compared O'Donnell
who, he said, was hard working
man, while Carey was william, exc
cuted by the people and unpardoned
bv the queen, known to be cruel,
threacherous and desperate, who
forced by man likely to denounce
him, woulu not scruple to resort to
any weal ON to overcome and kill,
and who in all his murderOus con.
spiracjes took care of his own life.
It was unreasonable to suppose that
ifO'Donnell premeditated the MUIR
der of Carey, he would have COM
mitted it in the presence OF several

has ceased to reason and wonder over
anything. He is kept still in a seat
an hour and half at time, with
book before him, and told to study
his lesson.
Poor child! No one has caused
any desire in him to learn to read.
He wants to be out at play. He does
not know how to study. AS con-
sequence he sits with the book open
before him, while his eyes gaze into
blank space. Perhaps, during all his
school life he cannot be cured of this
habit. Indeed, there are college
students who have been forced or
dragged along, but who do not
know how to study, nor even to read
intelligently.
If the Creator endows child with
ordinary intelligence, it is the moth
er's business to train and care for his
bodily development and guide his
natural observation, and there is no
doubt he will make student.
: There are three different mistakes
made in this connection:
First.-An ambitious mother, with
smart children, leads them and
teaches them too fast. The conse-
quence is quick, nervous organiza-
tions and frail bodies. What we want
is "a strong mind in a strong body"
Second.-The Indifferent mother
does not guide or train either mind
or body, beyond providing food and
clothes. The consequence is stupid
children, with bodies weak or strong,
as inherited.
Third--A mistake more common
than either of the others is, to ignore
the common bent of q child's mind
or taste, and attempt to train all
alike, or in some direction which is
entirely distasteful.
1t is best to give to all the elements
of learning, and then look earnestly
and lovingly for the leading inclin-
alton, which properly trained and
guided, shall make success of his
life. If a child cares nothing for
music, and hates to practice, even
after it is made as attractive as possi-
BILE, it is both useless and cruel to
spend money and the child's time
and strength in what will plainly be
failure. For, no matter how
brilliantly one may be forced to learn
the execution of music, it is not real
music, unless the soul or feeling of
the author is in the performer and is
expressed on the instrument.
If child loves to draw, and does
not care for other branches, stimulate
him to the necessary exertion in
study by helping in his favorite pur-
suit.
If a boy wants to handle tools, let
him use them, but incense him to an
interest in his studies by reminding
him of the help he will gain from
books. In short, train the boys and
girls, little and big, in the direction
of this inclination. Better be good
carpenter than third-rate lawyer or
an unsuccessful preacher! We need
more good housekeepers and home
makers and fewer mechanical mu-
sicians.
Another time will describe a very
successful method of primary edu-
cation. +. a. II.

From the Deily OF unday.
THE EPISCOPAL EA1R.
An Appeal TO the Generous
Public.

The ladies of st. Johns parish, this
city, propose to hold a fancy fair or
bazaar in Caplice Hall, this week, be-
ginning Tuesday evening and con-
tinuing three nights. The object OF
this fair is to raise money to aid i'll
cancelling the present Indebtedness
on the church, and a thorough,
earnest effort is to be made in this
direction. This debt is quite heavy.
and it sadly interferes with the ef-
forts of the pastor and the congrega-
ton to do good. They feel that now
is the time to relieve themselves OF
the burden, and they trust that gen.
erous and sympathizing public will
coincide in the opinion and lend
helping hand. We understand that
the parish has the promise of some
assistance from abroad if a certain
amount is raised here, and sthe pub
lic-spirited gentlemen of our city
sbonld see that this sum is speedily
forthcoming.
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
| will be devoted to the sale of fancy
articles at reasonable prices, vocal and
instrumental music by the leading
musicians of the city, May-pole dane
ing by band of charming young
girls, and various forms of amuse-
ment to make the evenings pass hap
PLY and quickly.
Thursday evening the great feature
will be Kate Greenaway party, the
ladies generally being attired in Kate
! Greenaway costumes, with perhaps
a mingling Of the old Continental
and other odd styles and habits.
Tickets for the last evening are al
ready on sale, and we understand are
going off quite rapidly.
During the progress of the fair, re-
freshments for the inner man, in the
way of oysters, ice cream, cakes, cof-
fee, tea, etc., will be on sale in ad-
Joining rooms, and under the excell-
ent preparation ofthe ladies IN charge
will merit extensive patronage.
Young and old. rich and poor,
saint and sinner, should remember
the time and place, CapEce Hall,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
December 4, 5 and 6.
