was insanely drunk. The case was very
atrocious one aud the jury held that not

death. The case was taken to the Court
Of Appeals which has Just decided that
drunkenness is no excuse for crime and
that Finley is as much responsible for his
deed as if duly sober. The decision is
most gratifying one. frequently the plea

Castle Garden in New York, where
immigrants are Landed, Is visited every
day BY men who are seeking wives.
Some of these men, strange as it may
appear. ind young women willing to
marry them. although in some instan-
ces they scarcely know each others
language.
Anybody might suppose that men in
this country would not have to seek
wives in that way. Everywhere there
are manageable young women. They
are IN such numbers that many Of
them can hardly hope ever to get mar
ried. They cannot be ignorant Of the
reason the men who seek wives do not
sock them.
Men who go to Castle Garden are
not poor men and tramps whom no
one wants to marry. They are in
nearly every instance well-to-do farm
ers, who want wives to be Of some as-
sistance to them. They have no fancy

The poor women, who are the only

are, on the whole, inferior to the men
in good looks. For one thing, their
dress ID the most unbecoming possible.
A large shawl generally wooden, and
very often dingy covers them almost
from head to foot, concealing every
possible charm Of figure under the
long. shapeless wrap, which is never
put on coquettishiy, as in France, or
drawn over the elbows. but allowed to
hang in a straight line, the arms con-
cealed under 1t. the hands only appear
ing now and then to huddle it about
the neck. The feet are covered with
white stockings (almost invariably
clean) and shoes without any heels, in
which it must be a work Of extreme
difficulty to shuffieabout; and last, and
worst of all, there seems to exist 3
popular prejudice against combing the
hair, which is generally abundant,
and always uncovered, but which
hangs about their brows in elf-locks--
wild exaggeration of the fringe of
modern fashion. This is all the
greater misfortune that the hair itself
Is often beautiful, and that its wild
condition does great wrong to a pretty
little fresh countenance underneath,
which does not possess the fine and
picturesque outline which half justi-
ies picturesque disorder. but is Of
the class which requires and rewards
tidlness and care. The occasional
vision Of a higher beauty here and
there is n much more common in
Venice than in other places. In Tor

The Columbus Capital.

The Columbus Capital is one Of
the successful newspaper ven
lures of Columbus.
Mr.. Elliott, the proprietor, is a
man of individuality and gives
character to his paper. He does
not exactly suit the slobbery
curb stone politician, nor. the
aristocratic rake, but he has the
courage to assert his convictions,
and although he may differ with
self-asserting men, he commands
the respect. at least he holds a
hearing, from those with whom
he differs.
The Capital "isn't afeerd," and
we like it on that account. Last
week it consolidated with the
Tribune, this paper closing out
and seeking refuge in a Journal
that stands defiant and publishes
advertisements.
The Capital has our congratu-
lations and best wishes for its
success, won by a sharp pointed
pencil, in the hands of clear
headed, bold hearted, fighting
knight of the Quill.
