From the Hartford Posts account of the hearing before the board of pardons
 sLet Warren be heard, said the gov ernor.
 A man 45 years of age, with the blue, close-shaven face of convict, was ur- chained from the gang and conduct, to the table in front of the board-''this Is ohn Warren, gentleman" he used a felt hat to occupy his mind. With this in his right hand, crushing 1t upon the ta- ble and moving 1t in various postlres, he told his story. He was sentenced for life in 1859 for killing his wife in Wilmington, and in his statement didn't attempt to con ceal the crime His sentencs was on a plea of guilty by advice of counsel.
 s'I am guilty of the crime for which was sentenced, :" he said. "But was young when committed it-a little over 20-and I think that fact ought to be taken into consideration. have been in prison since 1859 and petition this honorable board fcl release or pardon" His voice dropped.
 The petition set up that he had atoned for his crime s'so far as man cal" atone fol it. ..7s
 ''I feel very sorry for the crime, he add ed Being so young l think that ought to be taken into consideration.
 luO pOfSOu klllou WAS rtDtlI Whc SdLu the governor interrogatlvely in searching voice.
 "Yes, sir" Warren replied without a qua. yer.
 "In what manner was the deed com ni.t.d ?"
 ''By drowning in Wilmington"
 "In pond ?' inquired the chief justic ,.
 "No The place is called Roaring Brook. ,
 It seemed as if the whole sc ne, in all its dread reality, were brought before the pris- oner as he stood there, silent for minute after thus identifying the spot.
 ''And why did you commit the deed ?? queried the governor again.
 'sI suppos d she had been unfaithful to me" he repi~d. Then he said ''I have heard since she had been." The addition was in such low voice that ths governor thought he sad ''she had not been" and inquired, but he found there was no such vindica,ion of the dead woman's character.
 "How many times have you petitioned for the release, Warren? Fifteen or twen- ty ?" asked the governor.
 'I don't know-not so many, think.
 That was all Warren had no more to say and followed the warden back to the chair.

A PosT OFFICE IN KEa.-The simplest post office in the world is in the Magellan Straits, where. it has been established many years. It consists of small cask. which is chained to the rocks of the ex- treme cape in the straits, opposite Terra del Fuego.

A REASONING CRow.-Some years ago I sat with my partner in the verandah of our office, at luncheon. Our regular guest, broken-legged crow, sat on the window sill. In the bread-basket was a piece of crust, dried by the land wind as hard as a brick-bat threw it to the crow who pecked at it many times, but found it much too hard for his beak. He then evi- dently set himself to find remedy for so sad state of things. He looked at it with his head on one side, then he took anothe I view of 1t from the other side, and seemed fairly puzzled. All at once bright thought struck him., He seized the crust, flew with it to the wash basin in the corner, shook the morsel well for minute in the water, flew back to the sill and gobbled up the now soft crust triumphantly If that did not betoken reason, I don't know what could.

Cheaper Rates and Better Returns

The Brunswick News thus speaks the
sentiments of many: 1.-The bottom seems
to have dropped out of trade since New
Years day, but that is the usual ''reac-
tion." People take on economical and re-
formstory epells alter the holiday indul-
gences. They pause for ref ctioD, and il is
right that they should stop and consider
for awhile. This habit tends to preserve
the eqr ilibrium Of things. They will get
back on solid basis again soon. Mer-
chants should not despond because they
cannot have a holiday boom every week in
the year. That gait could not be kept up
long without disastrous results. The steady
and more substantial trade will begin In a
short time and the wise business man will
prepare for il by making yearly
contracts for advertisements with
his home papers. We want only
reasonable pay for our space, and will give
good terms to those who will engage it by
the year. Such an arrangement will be
much cheaper for them, and give them
much bitter returns than the 6ttul style OF
advertising which is the habit of so many
of our patrons. Get your figures and ar

A PooI Little Victim Of the @ I'M
inal Carelessness Of a Burly
Negro.

Every day, nearly, one reads OF injuries
inflicted on innocent persons by the stupid,
bull headed and unexcusable carelessness OF
some Tom fool of fellow who ought to be
out on the plains, among the cowboys,
rather than living among people whose
quiet ways form strong contrast to his
half-civilized antics. The Kansas City
Evening Star has the latest instance Of this
wreiched and terrible carlesspess of one Of
the Yahoos that infest The earth.
IL saws: A case of criminal carelessness,
which made the stocial idlers around the
police headquarters boil over with indigna-
ZION, came up Yesterday. At about =
O'Clock little girl named Emma Morton,
perhaps 3 or 10 years old, was passing
down Main street near the corner of
Fourth, when a burly colored man. laugh
ing and joking with a party of friends,
picked up large raw-hide whip from in
front of store, and began to crack it in
the air.
The whip ended i'm hsrd leather thong,
sharp at both sides, and designed to mag
uify The peculiar repOT: ihl; is the pride az
3 cow bows heart. The man was whirliuy
this ugly weapon around in perfect disre-
gard To people passing on the street, and in
twiliing the whip about struck the little
girl in the face, lsying her cheek open for
some distance, and disfguring her Tor life.
For this piece of western brutality, the
man. whose name is Sandy Edwards, was
arrested and placed under hesvy bonds to
appear for trial
