Tennysonian "Freedom."

Then Mandy reeled her off-shes sot on Ten

An hum-ty-tum she went along till I'd n mind
to hit her;
For forty foot Of rhyme she slung, an metre
An never fetched the text. I'm blowed a

THAT'S SO like Tennyson," SEE she, with man
ner rather dawdlin';
Its good as Maud" SEE I, you're right;

"Of course" SEE she, "his iddyums are what
I'd call egzoticl'
"You call 'em iddyums9" SEE I; 81 call 'em i'd

Why, Jack, just take the stars an stripes. the
goddess an the eagle,
An sot 'em down beside them lines that's writ
by poet regal,
An they could pick and sort the stuff till
doomsday war tixtur',
An never reconiz hair o. freedom In the

Pshawl Eff the mess of balderdash that poets
sot to write for
War the only sort of freedom that our fathers
had 10 fight for,
Their fiint-locks would have gone to rest as ST.

An Bunker Hill would never bulgod frac-

But thar! s'pose ALI. amt to blame; he has

"Wcll, / know | have not much

Shad placed his hand on his stomach

apparent intention of making purchase
took a seat by the stove. Soon aiterward
negro man from the country entered

but playfully brandishing tho club. To
his approaches the negro made no resist
ance, little dreaming what was to come.
With twist of his arm the young man
brought the colored man powerful blow
on the head with the club, staggering

The trial Of John G. Furguson for the
killing OF Arthur Benedict has ended in
a mistrial, and must be had again. ln
what re are about to say we desire it
understood that our utterances have no
reference to the future of this case. We
would upon no account prejudice his
cause. But in connection with the trial
ust closed, there are some grave and Sc
Journalists, allow TO pass i'm silence.
proceedings are rife within this commu
nifty. Over.zealous friends of the nc.
cused, it is said, have used undue inhu-
ences upon jurors. Indeed, the compo.
sition Of the panel has been tho source
of much Whispered insinuatioD. We
desire to say that what we now say has
no reference to the counsel Of the ac.
cused man.
1t is not our purpose 10 regale the pub
lie with the thousand and one rum0rs
filling the air in regard to this matter.
Our aim is simply 70 say 10 those who,
in their misguided zeal for friend, have,
if what is said is true, laid themselves
liable to punishment by the law; that
the tone and temper of this county will
not tolerate any act that has the appear
ance of tampering with the administra-
ton of the law. If we know this people
they want to give to every man full,
fair and impartial trial. But their sense
Of honor, their love of fairness, their
respect for law, all demand that the per.
feet purity of the trial by jury shall be
maintained inyiOlate. Moreover, their
pride in the good name of their county
rises to protest against everything that
has the semb!ance of an attempt to pros
titute our courts of justice. There IL no
language too strong in which to condemn
the actions of those WHO are affected by
these reports, If they be true. Upon
every street corner it is asserted that no
effort was left unused to get upon the
panel men known to be friendly to the
defendant. That unlawful commupica-
tion was attempted 10 be had with the
jury, and that before the trial Jurors were
approached with reference to this trial.
Now, we say again, if all this or any
part of it be true, it is disgrace to our
people and our county, and an expert
ment which he who attempts hereafter
will find to be exceedingly dangerous
and we cay this with no reference to this
case. But we lay it down as rule
which the honorable people of this coun.
ty will demand shall be vigorously Ell.
forced. The safety of law. abiding cili
zens-of those who observe the law, and
depend upon it for protection, lies in it,
strict enforcement. We cannot afford
therefore, to be silent wher dangerou.
inroRds are made upon this citadel o
our rights. We trust that We shall no,
again have occasion to write a warning
like this.-Adbeville Messenger.
