RhineIander,sPIea.

The young New York aristOcrat, Rhine
lander, who shot lawyer John Drake a
week or so ago, sets up the plea of self-de-
tense. Drake is almost out of danger, and
a day or two ago Rhinelander, on a writ
of habedS cOTpus, applied to be admitted
TO bail. When the shooting occurred it
was thought that Rhinelander's attorneys
would set up the plea of insanity, but it
seems that the would-be assassin declined
to be considered insane. The bold
grOGnd was therefore taken that he had a
right to shoot Drake because Drake I'M
dertOOk to bring about a separation be-
tween him and his wife. Ex-Judge Cur
tbs, in his remarks to the court, said:
"Mr. Rhinelander became attached,
about eight years ago, to very attract
i've Irish lady, and he sacrificed a fortune
of 81, 100000 for the sake of marrying her.
MIR. Rhinelander desires me to say that
he has never regretted the connection, as
his wife was modest and virtuous
maiden, as she is and has been true and
loyal wife and friend. Efforts have been
constantly made to separate my client
and his wife. The union has been blessed
by two children, now a 7-year-Old girl,
and a boy 4 years of age. When any
man undertakes to separate man and
wife, he equally with the adulterer takes
his life in his hands, and he must abide
by the consequences"
This is certainly giving much wider
meaning to the doctrine of self-defense
than was ever intended. In this case it is
not pretended that Lawyer Drake sought
to bring about a separation between
Rhinelander and his wife for any i'm
proper purpose of his own, or that he
made any improper advances to Mrs.
Rhinelander. He is in all respects, as
far as stated, a very respectable gentle
man, who had the entire confidence of
young Rhinelander's father. The girl
young Rhinelander married was a cham
bermaid at his fathers house. His family
were so angered with his conduct
that they cast him off. 1t seems,
however. that they instructed
Lawyer Drake to bring about a legal
separation if he could, but there is no evil
dence that he was instructed to, or that
he did, use improper or indecent meth DDS
to accomplish that object. The use of the
pistol to avenge fancied wrongs, or
wrongs for which there is ample legal
remedy is becoming altogether too CON-
mon. 1t is probable that Rhinelander
will not be punished, not because of his
plea of self-defense but because Lawyer
Drake will not prosecute him. Drake is
the only one who can testify to the shoot
ing. Rhinelander, however, ought to be
punished and punished severely.

ADA AUBRAY's SAD FATE.
a Society Belle of Baltimore Dies in al
AImshouse, and is Buried as a Pauper

A Society Belle of Baltimore Dies I'm an
A1mshouse, and is Buried as a Pauper.
BALTIMORE, July 3.-Miss Ada Au-
bray, former well-known and beautiful
society belle, died at the city almshouse a
few days ago, in childbed. She was a
niece of ex-Mayor Stansbury, Of this city.
For several years past she was courted
by her cousin, and on her death-bed she
charged him with her ruin. A few months
ago her delicate condition became known
to her mother, and the latter drove
her daughter from home. Ada
sought refuge at a cheap
lodging house, where she remained
a few DAYS only. Her mother relented in
a measure, called to see her, and advised
her to go to some institution under an
assumed name. She went to the city
almshouse and registered as "Annie Col
Inns" The officers of the institution,
struck by her intelligence and beauty,
made inquiry and discovered her high
social standing. She was placed in a
private apartment and everything done
for her comfort. The child was sent to
st. Yineent's Orphan Asylum after its
mothers death. The mother of the poor
girl is severely condemned for her cruelty.
She says she did what she thought best to
protect the good name of the family. After
Ada's death her mother refused to receive
her daughters body, and it was buried in
a DauDerss grave.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JULY 6, 1854.

THAT GLASS could be made to take the
place Of iron and other materials for certain
mechanical purposes has lately been exeln-
pli8ed in the manufacture Of glass pulleys for
cable railways. The advantage OF glass pull
leys are obvious. In cable railways. such as
are in use over the Brooklyn suspension
bridge. and in the streets of some Of the cities,
the operation Of the cables over metal pulleys
has resulted in serious damage to them from
the friction with the pul,eys. When the pull
leys are Of metal the friction is q maximum
one, but no other substance hitherto could be
found sufficiently strong and tenacious to
take its place. Glass pnlieys viii reduce the
friction TO a minimum, and they viii last for
an indefinite time. Mr.. J. j. Hardin, of Chi
cago, has a number OF different sized pulleys,
made for experiment. They are about ID
inches in diameter and about als or in
width, with groove in the centre of the rim
to receive the cable. However, only the rim
or tire is Of glass, the interior part being COM
posed of iron, made in the form of a spider,
which fully supports the glass exterior. In
this spider is a hole for the reception of the
axle, upon which they run. The thickness OF
the glass from the surface Of the rim to the
iron part of the spider is only about q of an
inch, but the glass IS made extra tough and
strong, and the pulleys have been proved
capable OF successfully resisting any pressure
brought to bear upon them.

A no less noted person than ex-Mayor
Powderly, of Scranton, describes the
type OF the women who work at the coke
ovens in Pennsylvania as follows: "The
woman stood in the doorway and was
dressed in a rough, lOose-fitting outer gar
ment and an apron. Her person from the
waist up was exposed. When she stopped
over to handle the coke she caught her
hair between her teeth in order to keep it
out OF the way. Her feet were incased in
pair of heavy shoes, and her legs were
exposed from the knees down. Her babe,
which she brought to the works with her,
lay in front of the car, with scarcely any
covering except the shadow of a wheel
barrow, which was turned up in order to
protect the child from the rays of the
sum- If Senator Brown had casually
alluded to these women in a speech, all
Pennsylvania would have been ready to
cruelty him. Some of the charitable peo-
pie of that State might find a large field
for society for the ameliOratiOn of the
condition of poor women.

The business outlook grows more en-
couraging slowly but surely. The people
are gradually regaining confidence in the
stability Of legitimate business and fnan-
cial enterprises The crops promise to be
abundant, and as they are the foundation
ofprosperity, it viii not be long before BUSH
ness viii be flowing in its usual channels
with its accustomed regularity. In the
South the situation has not been bad at
any time. There have been comparatively
few failures, and, with the exception Of a
very few days, there has not been much
uneasiness among business men. The
banks have been rather Conservative. be-
cause they We're uncertain about the flu
ture. Their refusal to loan freely has in
terfered somewhat with the planting in
terests. They are beginning to
find 1t easier, however, to get
accommodations, and at the end of the
year, perhaps, will be none the worse on
for having been forced to practice econo-
my. The financial troubles disturbed the
South less than any other section Of the
country, for the reason, perhaps, that there
is not so much illegitimate business done
in the South as there is in the North.
Southern people, not having the money to
speculate, do not enter into speculative
enterprises to a very marked extent.
The prices OF dividend paying stocks
appear to have touched bottom. There
seems to have been no bottom for some
worthless stocks, and they have disap-
! peared. If they do not come to the sur
face again, the country viii not suffer. A
few who have been posing as milllonaires,
however, may have to give up the luXu-
ries to which they have been accustomed.
Gould and Vanderbilt have been saying
for some time that bottom prices have
been reached, but, as they are interested
parties, they are not always relia BILE.
What they say now, however, about
stocks is perhaps near the truth.

The city is conyulsed with gossip to-
day, says a Louisville special of the Sd
inst, over an order issued by Gen. Taylor,
Chief of Police, directing the art stores TO
remove from their show-windowst the 81 eel
engraving Of a French painting called
''The Double STAR The picture is that
of two female figures, slightly draped,
pendant in an evening sky, one supporting
in her appraised hand the sceptre of Virtue,
crowned with star, which finds its cOun-
terpart in brilliant evening star in the
sky. The picture has been displayed in five
windows for several weeks, and is an
art treasure. Gen. Taylor regards
the engraving as immoral and
lasciYious. and says that while the
law prohibits the exhibition of lewd and
nude pictures, he cannot find excuse for
4 the exemption of fine art. One dealer re-
moved the engraving upon notice, but
the others have so far paid no attention
/ to the order, and those who have not dis
/ view merely for the purpose of defending
/ fine art from such an arbitrary ruling.

A Lesson to Jurors.

In the Circuit Court in Washington
city, a few days ago, Mr.. August Beck
man was taught lesson which will be
remembered by him in the future, and
which should be laid to heart by jurors
everywhere. In a will case Beckman was
one of the jurors who signed a verdict in
favor of the validity of the will. When
the verdict was handed in by the foreman
Beckman exclaimed, 81 withdraw my
name." The Judge was astonished, and
asked sharply, "What do you mean by
thatg' The juror then explained that he
did not want to stay in the jury room all
night, and agreed to the verdict, which he
did not approve, merely to get away.
This, of course, nullified the verdict,
which was set aside, and the Judge was
indignant that the time consumed in the
trial-over a week-at cost of several
hundred dollars should have been thrown
away by the misconduct of the juror. He
said: ''No juror is obliged to agree. Ifone
signs a verdict to which he does not agree
he violates his oath and duty as a juror"
The reproval was emphasized by fine
of $50.
1t is by no means uncommon for Jurors to
fail to appreciate what the oath to give a
true verdict means. 1t means that each
juror must render a verdict according to
the opinion he entertains of the evidence
guided by his own conscience. About
the first thing jury does when it retires
to its room is to agree to decide the case
by a majority or two-thirds vote. Cases
like the one of Beckman have their coun-
terparts, perhaps, in nearly every court,
though few of the guilty jurors have their
cOnseiences to reproye them so as to COM
pei them to own their fault. A juror who
has manhood and regard for his oath will
not allow his conscience to be placed in
the keeping of any other man or set of
men.

Congressman Hancock, of Texas, may
be correct in his estimate that Blaine has
a fighting chance in four Southern States.
He certainly has no chance in a square
fight, so the only fighting chance he has
is the kind of fighting chance Hayes had.
The Democrats of every Southern and
every doubtful Northern State cannot be
too closely on their guard. An attempt
to reproduce the frauds Of 1876 is by no
means improbable, and the fraud issue
may become a living one after the cleo
ton again. In an event of that kind the
Democrats need a man o. undoubted
physical and moral courage and ability at
the helm. Tilden is not the man for the
place.
