proof was before the jury, nor can we
take judicial notice that this particular
minor did,as minors ordinarily do, pre-
sent the appearance physical indioa-
tons of minority. We must hold,
therefore, that the evidence fails to
show that the defendant "knowingly"
sold liquor to person under the age of
twenty-one years; and because of this
failure in the proof the evidence
conviction is without support and
must be set aside. Bearing upon the
question of the defendants want of
knowledge of the fact of homage, where
that question is contested, we think
the facts proposed to be- proved by the
witness, Moore, would be admissible,
Such evidence would tend to show a
desire on the part of the defendant to
avoid violation Of the law, and would
show acts of caution used by him for the
purpose of preventing such violation
OF the law. or course these acts would
not afford any excuse or justification
for violation Of the law. They would
only be relevant and admissible In de.
termining whether or not the defendant
"knowingly" committed the forbidden
act. We think the testimony should

TEXAS MORALITY.

Few things in English literature
have been More often quoted, or better
deserved quoting, than that delicious
passage of DE Quincy, where he tells
how "many man has dated his ruin
from small murder of which he
thought but little at the time" and
explains how when person had once
been betrayed into numbering friend,
his downward path is easy, and he
soon yields to the temptation Of
forgery and robbery, aud from these
the decent is simple to incivil!ty and
and reconstruction. But IL has been
reserved for the citizens Of Mount
Pleasant, Texas, to take in earnest
and to act upon the opium eaters
theory of morality. The citizens Of
Mount Pleasant, Texas, yesterday
thought it advisable to lynch man
a negro, who, with an accomplice, had
committed larceny of the sum of one
dollar and sixty-five cents. So they
lynched him; and left the body hang
ing to a tree. But these good folks
the citizens Of Mount Pleasant, Texas
were anxious that there should he
no misconstruetiOn of their motives.
After all one dollar and siXty-fve
cents was rather a paltry sum, and,
thpnnl. II Il tr,1a tl,a al. IL ,,.uE,
negro, itseemed to these gentleman
ly citizens Of Mount Pleasant, Texas,
that the unthinklng public might W
disposed to regard hanging as "a some
what severe punishment for "A
half share in the purloinment Of
such bagatelle. So in spirit
Of self-respect which cannot be
too much applauded, they determined
10 set themselves right with the world.
They pinned to the back Of the corpse
note stating that they had not
hanged the man because he was "A
thief They would scorn to do that
for were they not gentlemen aud citi-
zens of Mount Pleasant, Tex? They
had worse complaint against the
miserable negro than that-a COM
plant which could only be blotted out
with his blo0d-he had slandered a
respectable white family! Verify
from robbery the descent is easy
to iucivility and prOcrastination."
But even after this glorious vindica-
ton of their motives these sensitive
citizens seemed to think that still
some misguided persons might think
that they had been too hasty. They
were perhaps unduly thin skinned;
but to prevent the last possibility Of
misconstruction they added note of
explanation TO their card to the effect
that "furthermore we feel that we
have done great and noble act for
our country ani rs gentlemen" Yes;
and the country will be proud OF and
grateful to them. Let no other nation
now point the finger of scOrn mt Us.
So upright are we and so self-respect-
ing, so jealous of our reputation, that
ia America any man who ISLANDERS IA
