We would do anything for
Louisville girl except to change
our shirt twice a week. If, in our
mad and wild career, and mount
ING unto fame's empyreal town
Iots we can catch a moment as it
skoots by us, we shall take pleas
ure in complying with the request
Of our fair correspondent. But
We feel that it will be difficult to
make her understand all the intri-
cate minute Of that chapter in
our life's religious story (that it
might be continued in our next!)
by means Of newspaper articles.
A few personal demonstrations of
the osculatory coalescence, for in
stance, would prove far more sat
isfactory to our charming student,
and make the lessons more inter
esting to us. Although our time
is SO occupied in cutting the
coupons off our government bonds
and weighing the greenbacks re-
ceived for subscriptions, that we
can scarcely find time to prepare
an off-hand, gilt-edged petition
when it comes our turn to ante up
at prayer-meeting, we shall allow
our memory to throw the riders
and meander some forty years
down the past with head up and
tail over the dashboard till it
reaches those haclyon days when
We BACKED our boots with tallow,
spiked a stand-up collar to the
apex of our billed shirt, and filled |
our pockets with the crushed out,
boiled down, and repeatedly atten-
uated quintessence of sorghum,
preparatory to waiting upon our
Dulcimer. If that isn't the word
we be everlastingly fabbergasted
if we can help it. All, what
fools we mortals are!' AS we
write, a peculiar nervous impulse
passes along our arms, and we
almost involuntarily clasp the
mucilage jug to our bosom and
press its bunghole to our lips.
Whether this is revival Of the
muscular exercise of those days
or a lingering trace of a later habit
we cannot say. And, although, as
our thoughts emigrate to those
play-parties, spelling-bees, tafy-
pullings, and private compression
combinations on the mutual plan
by the kitchen fireplace, and we
realize that the blue cross is drawn
over all of them, there is such a
sinking of our spirits that we
would fall through the seat of our
trousers should our suspenders
give way; we shall, nevertheless,
comply at an early day, Carrie.

A young man had his girl out
carriage riding the other evening
and the horse took fright and ran
away: In turning a corner the
vehicle was overturned and the
young lady was pinned to the
earth, the body of the carriage ly-

was rendered unconscious. When
she was released from her peril
Gus position she slowly opened
her eyes as consciousness returned
and family gasped: Don't

Among the recent promulga-
tions from Washington is that in
some Of the southern states candi-
dates for congress are calling
upon the republican executive
committees for money to defeat
the democratic nominees. These
men can't possibly amount to much
as congressman, even if money
could elect them. They say that
they cannot be elected without
money to spend in election times
In their respective districts.
Their application for money on
such grounds is a poor compliment
to both their constituents and
themselves.

To HIS ExcELLENoy, CHARLES g.
STOCKLEY, GOVERNOR OF DELAWARE
SIR; The undersigned, your petition
ers, residents of New Castle County, re-
spectiully represent: That ~ the No
| VEN Oer term, 1883, OF the court Of Oyer
and TeruiJtr for New Castle County,
Lewis h., as-d 70 years, and Levi. r.
List, his ~. 'gei ~ years, wer JOINT
ly indicted aud tried for the inuruur Of
George b Taylor. Lewis List WAS con
victsd OF murder of the second degree,
and was sentenced to imprisonment for
life. Lewis +. List Mas col victed vi
murder of the first degree aud sentenc-
ed TO be hanged Oh the l4th day of March
A. D., 1854.
Your petitioners believe that the pen
atty inflicted upon Lewis f. List is
greater than The circumstances Of tho
case warranted for the follow ing rsa-
SONS
First. The conviction of the son of
murder in the FIRST degree, was the re-
suit Of prejudice ana popular feeling
against the father, Lewis List, vino was
jointly tried with his son, and whose
reputation so weighed down and bar
dened the case vi his Son that, when
taken with the fathers staLelnents and
conduct at the time of the killing, FELL
dered 1t almost Impossible to extend to|
the son fair ami in partial trial.
Second. From the circumstances Of
the killing, the fact that Lewis +. List
did not know, and had never heard Of
George b. Taylor before he Taylor
after threats that he was going to List q |
house to give Lew LIsJ a damned
good licking went to young List s
house, calling him out and beating him
at his own front door the passion and |
enraged state of young List : mind after
such beating as he had received at
the hands Of Taylor-the presence OF
the father, Lewis List, commanding
his son, while under such intense
TO shoot the deceased,
and the many other extenuating cir
Of the case, force your
petitioners TO the feeling and belief that
the demands Of justice would be fully
by the Imprisonment for life
Of Lewis +. List, the son, that judi
cial murder would be committed in the
of his life for crime com
United by him while under the direction
and control Of his father, Lewis List,
who pays less penalty for a greater
guilt than that of his son in it, and
which was committed by the son while
in great pain and passion, produced by
the beating inflicted by the aggressor,
and unknown man, Taylor. Ii
Your petitioners, therefore, pray your
excellency to respite the said Lewis +.
List from the sentence of death, to that
Of Imprisonment for ninety.uiue years
or to such time as to your excellency
may seem meet.
And they will ever pray, SC.

fortunate it would have been ha1
neither happened, but was there N,
provocation? How many under tn,
same circumstances would have actet
differently?
The fatal tragedy Is almost ended
After the two shots were fired Taylor
turns upon his pursuer with handful
of stones. What does List do? Hav
ing several shots left does he stand still
and shoot down Taylor as he came tow.
ards him, as he could easily have done,
being practical marksman? Instead
of that he, in turn, ran up the strdtt
not wishing to take life and knowing
that Taylor would knock him down
with stone if he got near enough.
Need it be wondered at that List in his
hurry to reach his own home and enter
it, should make a mistake and enter a
neighbours house within two doors of
his own, especially when the houses in
the row were all alike?
Does it look unreasonable that List
was anxious to get into place where
he would be safe from his pursuer Is
it not reasonable to suppose he tells the
truth when he says he did not discover
his mistake until he saw Mrs. Ford
within and Immediately afterwards saw
her husband? Need it be wondered
at that not knowing what treatment he
would meet by pushing his way into
the house he hurriedly retraced his
steps?
Is 1t any great surprise after all that
on seeing Taylor coming up the pave
ment with stone in his hand he fired
the fatal shot? This, we believe, takes
us to the fatal ending. Those who are
demanding the life of Lewis +. List,
ponder over these things and ask them
selves how differently they would have
acted under the same circumstances.
That he did wrong no one will deny,
but that he committed premeditated
certainly not borne out by the
facts. We would here ask two or three
other questions with the request that
our readers may answer them for them
selves. Why was Lewis +. List con-
yicted? Was it not because so many
accused of murder and more guilty than
he escaped? Was it not partly because
of his fathers record, who, unfortunate
ly, twenty years before, had committed
a similar otfense? If the answer to
to these questions are in the affirmative
then we ask, with all candor, if these
are ust and satisfactory reasons why
nothing will do to appeasc the wrath Of
offended justice but the life of Lewis r.
List?
