Cnrsing The Crown.

The closii scenes in the O'DonneIl
case Saturday evening were intensely
dramatic After the court had carefully
defined the law of murder bearing upon
the point, as applied to the present case,
quoting authorities in support of his
defnation and application, the jury again
retired, and returned in four minutes
with verdict of wilful murder, Judge
Denman asked O'Donnell if he had any
thing to say why sentence of death
should not be passed on him. He made
no reply. The judge then passed SEN
tence of death in the usual form. The
prisoner now wanted to speak. The
Judge, however, ordered his removal.
The police seized him. O'Donnell held
up his right hand, his fingers extended,
and shouted
"Three cheer for old Ireland"
"Good-bv, United States.'
'To HI with the British and the
British crown"
1T is plot made up by the crown"
The prisoner shouting, cursing and
struggling, was forclbly removed by the
police amid most fearful confusion and
the slamming of doors. This action of
O'Donnell caused the greatest excite
ment and surprise, as he had previously
gained the sympathy of the audience by
his good behavior

Blaine and Lamar.

Henry Grady tells in his Atlanta Con-
staution what appears to be new anec-
dote Of the "Plumed Knight" of Maine.
1t comes from Senator Lamar, who says
that just after his famous assault on Sen
ator Conkling some senators commented
in open session on the severity of his
words. He replied, Il meant to be
severe. I meant to put upon the senator
from New York words that no good man
would deserve, and no brave man would
bear" Later Lamar and Blaine, who are
devoted to each other, were walking arm
in arm down Pennsylvania avenue.
Lamar asked Blaine what he thought of
what had been said Lamar, you say
you are fond of me, but you have not
shown your friendship in this matter.
Why do you insist on saying these
things to Conkling and rallying the
whole Republican party around him? I
forgive you this time; but the next time
you have anything of that sort to say do
remember yOur friends"

Late Gov. St":enson of Virginia.

Ex-Gov. William Z. Stevenson, who
died THANKSGIVING, went from Pittsburg
to Wood county, Virginia, several years
before the war, settling on farm few
miles north of Parkersburg. He was a
carpenter by trade, man Of marked in
telligence and force, and soon became the
center of republican circle. In 1860 he
was on the Lincoln electoral ticket,
which the Virginia republicans put into
the field. He opposed secession, and ON
the breaking out of the rebellion was
bold and active in the formation of the
new state of West Virginia. He was in
the mass convention of May, out of
which grew the constituent convention
that sat in Wheeling in the summer of
1861, and reorganized the state govern
ment of Virginia, with Gov. Peirpoint at
it's head, and of all the latter body as well
and still later of the convention that
framed the first constitution for West
Virginia. He was keen and ready
speaker. Mr.. Stevenson was for several
years in the senate of West Virginia, and
succeeded toy. Boren,an when the latter
retired from the executive chair to enter
the United states senate, in the winter
Of 1869. He was the last republican gov
ernor After his retirement from public
he divided his time between his farm,
his newspaper (the State JournoD at
Parkersburg, and some commercial in
terest connected with the oil business.

influence Of WOman's Society.

1t is better for you, says Thackeray, to
pass an evening once or twice in lady's
drawing room, even though the conver-
sation is slow, and you know the young
girls songs by heart, than in club,
tavern, or the pit Of a theater. All
amusements Of youth to which virtuous
women are not admitted, rely on it, are
deleterious to their nature. All men
who avoid female society have dull pre-
ceptions, and are stupid, or have gross
tastes, and revolt against what is pure.
You club swaggerers, who are sucking
the butts of billiard cues all night, call
female society insipid. Poetry is insipid
to yokel; beauty has no charms for a
blind man; music does not please poor
beast who does not know one tune from
another; and as true epicure is hardly
ever tired of water-souchy and brown
bread and butter, protest l can sit for
whole MI ght talking to a well-regulated,
kindly women about her girl coming out,
or her boy at Eton, and like the evenings
entertainment One of the great benefits
man may derive from women's society
is that he is bound to be respectful to
them. The habit is of great good to your
moral man, depend upon it. Our educa-
cation makes us the most eminently
selfish men in the world. We fight for
ourselves, we push for ourselves, we
yawn for ourselves, we light our pipes,
and say we won't go out Weprefer our
selves and our ease; and the greatest
good that comes to a man from wOmans
society is that he has to think of some
body besides hlmself-somebody to
whom he is bound to be constantly at
tentive and respectful.

Frantic Women.

CHICAGO, Dec. AT the time of the
fire in the Farwell building there were
about thirty women at work on the fifth
and sixth floors. Every one Of them at
once went crazy and began the most
frantic efforts to escape. At the first
stampede, those who were in the rear
rooms started down the narrow stairway
that winds around the elevator. All but
two of those who started mado good their
escape to the third floor and thence to
the street by the main front stairway.
These two were blinded by the smoke
and in their terror only got to VI ldow
which opens into court in the ire of
the building. Their screams had attract
ed a group of men and an express wagon
was drawn under the window. and the
girls jumped into it and were hurried
away to their homes in safety. In the
first wild dash every one escaped from
the upper floor but eight girls and the
foreman of the sixth floor, who were cut
off from the elevator stairway. Their
only escape was down the iron ladder
built upon the outside of the Market
street front. There is nothing but a
series Of hatchways with narrow, wooden
stairways between the third and sixth
floors. These hatchways were all even
but the one to the sixth floor. After a
wild dash toward the rear the nine as
sembled at the windows that open out
on the fire escape. Frances Fairweather
was the first to venture upon the fire
escape, leaving her most intimate friend,
Kitty Hilger, standing in the open win
dow with all the rest crowding back of
her. Just as Miss Fairweather made the
first steps Of her decent, her friend in
the window let so her hold upon the
ladder and leaped straight down from
the window. The plunge was horrible
one. and the poor girls BODY reached the
earth head foremost, dashing out her

John Griffin Carlisle.

John G. Carlisle was born in Campbell
(now Kenton) county, Kentucky, Sep
tember 5th, 1885. He resides 1t Coving-
ton in the same state. At an early age
he assumed the duties of public school
teacher. His leisure time was employed
in reading law, and when opportunity
favored his aspirations, he entered an
office at Covington and thoroughly quail
flied himself for admission to the bar.
He was admitted in 1858, when twenty

his profession. In 1859 he was elected

resentatives Nominated in 1854 as pres
idential elector on the democratic ticket

for lieutenant governor of Kentucky in
1871 caused him to resign his seat In the
state senate. He was elected to the lieu
tenant governorship in 1871, and served
until September, 1873. His fellow citi-
zens made him presidential elector at
large for Kentucky in 1876. He was sub
sequently elected to the house of repre-
sentatives at Washington. Mr.. Carliise's

gressional committee appointed to inves-
tigate the Mississippi river, with view
to the advancement of commerce.

British Columbia Indians.

Advices received by the government
from British Columbia point to the prob
ability of early trouble with the Indians
of that province. In February last the
savages were in revolt owing to the ap-
pointment of Bishop Ridly whom they
considered had usurped the rights OF one
Duncan, missionary who h; d lived for
years among them. Information now
comes that Bishop Ridly's adherents are
forming in numbers and are armed, and
his opponents likewise, and collision
unless steps are taken by the Indian De-
partnent, is deemed inevitable and may
have already occurred.

Bill Price, of Wisconsin, who takes Judge
Humphreys seat in Congress, will keep
alive among the Washington correspon-
dents the idea of the rual member. But
any man who takes him up for guy
will put him down for a Tartar. His
mother was thinking Of steel traps when
he was born, and if there is a quicker
man at rapartee in the Forty-eight Con-

A printer named Robert H. Jones died
in this city from the effects of lead
poisoning. He was a sober man and
while at work he inhaled the dust from
the types which he was compelled to
handle. The dust is known to be quite
poisonous. The death of this poor man
brings out the fact that alcohol is very
generally regarded as an antidote for
ead-poisoning. This is at least tradi-
ton in all well-regulated newspaper
offices, and it is for this reason that
