Scene in Court.

A sorrowful cCmmentary on the
words in Proverbs, ga foolish son is the
heaviness of his mother" was witnessed
not very long since in a Philadelphia
court room. A reporter from the Pacific
coast, who waa present, sent the follow
ing account of it to the San Francisco
Bulletin:
Wm. Moore and VIM. Richards were
convicted of having forcibly entered the
house of John Shafer and stolen two
hundred and seventy-eight dollars.
Moore is twenty-five years of age and
married.
Before sentence was passed, his
mother, poor German, came weeping
to the bar, and said she desired to make
restitution of the theft. She had come
all the way from Baltimore, she said,
and brought her earnings with her for
that purpose. She then produced a
leather handbag, took out half dozen
five-dollar gold pieces, a roll of notes
all of them of small ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Clerk of the Court When the desired
sum was made up there was left only
enough to take her back home. The
money was placed on Judge Ludlow's
desk.
"Take it back, said the judge, "and
tell this poor woman that the payment
of this money will not save her son from
prison. The law must be vindicated.
The mother wept hard, and said:
"Oh, understand. l dida't hope to
save my boy from prison. l pay this
money because L want to do what's
right. Justice is justice"
"With that understanding, said the
Court, 'let the money be received"
Sentence of Moore and his accomplice
was deferred until the last day of the
term. A criminal with such a mother
should suffer keener punishment from
self blame and self-contempt than from
O full term under the law.

A STUDY oF GIN MEMnRIAM !,


Tennysons "In Memoriam'' is the great po-
em of cur time in the English tongue, Few
poems have been received With such favor an
this was, and none have been so widely recog-
nized as voicing the spirit of the age. And by
this we mean the highest thought and nobIest
sentiment of the time. A parting of the ways
bad been reached in the development of Egg
lish life, literature, politics and religion. The
passing of the Reform Bill in 1882 was the out
ward and visible sign OF new spirit, whose in
SEPARATION must be received or rejected Sides
were taken at once, and in prose and verse the
New Age was hailed IS the harbinger of peace
and prosperity, or assailed as revolutionary and
radically wrong.
Not to speak of the war of the great Quarter
lies and tho Monthlies, such as the Edinburgh
and Blsckwood, nor get of the fierce debates
in Parliament and at the hustings, We NAV
mention two posts through whose verses these
adverse currents of the Age flowed most rhyth-
mically and powerfully. We speak of Keble
and Tennyson. Keble was devout man, and
voiced the spirit of the past. Tennyson en-
bodied the spirit of the century, and sang in
melodious numbers the inspirations and hopes
OF humanity. Both poets were truly sincere
and earnest, but the face of Keble. was TUNED
to the East, that of Tennyson to the West. The
one looked into the past for sanctions, sacred
emblems, and soothing images. The other
fixed his eye on the future, which he felt sure
was to be brighter, better and purer than any
paat. And go Tennyson's voice went out into
all lands, and there is no region too remote for
its influence.
school OF poets has spr1ng up from the
seed so widely scattered, and the author of
SIN Memoriam" is hailed as Master, or 'Altis-
simo Poeta," by all tboso whose faith is in the
present order Of things and prevailing tenden-
cies in life and religion.
No one can have fsiled to notice the changes
which have occurred, and the gradual crystal
izng of these two diverse schools of thought.
In England they are more equally divided
than in this country, and the antsgonism be-
tween them is more positive Parties in poll
tics and religion revolve upon these issues, and
each is deeply in earnest aud very active.
The object of MIR. Genung in his "study"
OF Tennyson's poem is two-fold: First, to COM
pare the poetical merits of "In Memoriam"
with those of other great elegies, such as Lyci-
dss and Adoaais; and, secondly, to trace the
development OF the thought VIII ich uDderlies
the poem. We can bestow no higher praise
than to say that the execution Of his plan is
equal TO his design, aud that this beautiful es-
say on "In Menoriam" is IN all respects wor-
thy OF the great work whose beauties it aims

Receiver Clark Of the New York and Ne 2
England railroad made an interesting state
ment before tie committee on railroads Of
the Massachusetts Legislature on Thursday.
In whch he attributed the present fiaancial
straits of the company chiefly 10 an attempt
to do through business in con petition
with roads one hundred and forty miles
shorter. One third of the freight business
of the road last year was done in connection
with the Erie railroad, and to earn one do
lar in that business required and expendi-
ture of two dollars and quarter There
was loss on this business alone of $780,
600. The expense of doing the business of
the New York and New England road was
81 IL per revenue train-mile, as against
about 81 cents on the other railroads in its
vicinity, and in this direction there was an
excessive expenditure of 100000. Mr..
Clark believes that by abandoning the al
tempt to do through business in competi-
ton With shorter roads and developing the
local trafi, the road may easily be made TO
pay all its fixed charges and its running ex-
penses.

The bill to repeal the test oath which

tons. As presented to that body it excerpts
the President of the United States and re-
qnires that he shall swear that he never bore
arms agains his country, go that no person
who took part in the rebellion can ever fill
the Office of Chief Magistrate. An excep-
ton is also made in the case of the military
and naval service so that officers of The army
and navy who violated their oaths and went
into the service of the rebellion can never
get back again into the military or naval
service of the United States. Another mod

claims for losses incurred during the war,
