LoNnoN, November 1O.-The trial oi
Mr.. Stead, editor Of the PaU -KnU Ga
zette, Sampson Jacques Of the same
newspaper, Mrs. Rebecca Jarrett and
Madam Louise Morney, on charge Of in
decent.y assauiting Eliza Armstrong,
was begun to-day at the Central Crimi-
nal Court. The prosecution announced
that all the charges against Mr.. Bran
nell Booth has been withdrawn and
that the conspiracy charge against the
defendants had been abandoned. Eliza
Armstrong testified regarding the al
legged indecent assault on her, the evi-
dence being n repetition Of her former
statements. The. prisoners, except
Madam Morney, were not represented
by counsel. The jury returned a ver-
dict Of indecent assault against all four
Of the prisoners. The Justice then
passed sentence on, the prisoners ns fol-
lows Mr.. Stead three months, Rebec.
ca Jarrett six. months, and Sampson
jacques one month, all without hard la
Dor; and Madam Louise Morney six
months with hard labor.

NO. H.,
Mrs. Walkup Acquitted.

EMroEIA, Kan, November 6.-The
jury in the Walkup case returned this
afternoon with verdict Of not guilty.
They were out more than twenty four
hours, and most Of the time stood ten
for acquittal and two for conviction.
The prisoner, Mrs. Walkup, was married
about three years ago, and her husband
died last Spring under circumstances
that indicated poisoning. a good deal
Of arsenic was found in his stomach. but
it was shown at the trial that he took it
for disease, and The opinion is that the
poison became encysted there. The
theory Of the prosecution was that Mrs.
Walkup poisoned him for his money.
He was exMayor Of Elnporia.
The verdict was unexpected, as the
general belief was that there was no
prospect Of an agreement, and there
were not hundred people in the court
room when the jury filed in. They were
followed by Mrs. Walkup and Mr.. Jay.
The accused was handsomely attircd in
blue tricot She had been prepared by
Sheriff Wilwhite fer the verdict and her
face was aglow with happiness, and
while evidently agitated. she maintained
her composare.
No other woman was in the court
room. The Judge read the verdict
1--WE find the defendant not guilty. You
are discharged from custody and are
free" Cheer after cheer went up from
the crowd. Mrs. Walkup cried and
smiled alternatly and thanked each
jnrynlan. a moment later her mother.
who had been absent, rushed in crying
with joy, clasped her daughter in her
arms, then threw herself upon Mr.. Jay
and kissed him, and finally wrung the
hands Of each juryrnan and the Judge,
thanking and blessing them. Mrs.
Wnlkup then shook hands all around.
large crowd cheered her, as with
some friends she took u carriage for Mr..
Jays residence, where tonight largely
attended, although impromptu, rcccp-
| ton was held. The verdict is received
with general approval. Mrs. Walkup
and her mother will leave for New
Orleans on Monday. a.

Voting ut Long Range.

The I,ynchburg (va.) Advance says !:
Judge George w. Ward, who is still
confined to his room from the injuries
sustained by being shot down in the
street several weeks ago by DR.. White,
proved himself noble patti last
Tuesday. His rooms are in the third
story Of building on Main street, in
Abingdon, and the voting place was
nearly one hundred yards away, on the
opposite side Of the street. The Judge
had himself placed ut window in sight
of the polls, and string stretched from
the window to the box, tied his ballot
to key through the handle Of which
the string was passed and ''let her
slide." The crier recognized him, cried
his vote, and the ballot was deposited
in the box. The achievement is worthy
of being handed down for the emulation
Of the next generation" The report
thatJudge Ward has recently had q re
lapse is incorrect. He has not Lad a
set back since the shooting, and his i'm
proyement, while slow, is sure.

The statement is published, that n
white man was sentenced at Abbevillc,
II few days ago, to three months impris-
onment in the Penitentiary or to pay a
fine Of fifty dollars, for selling crop
on which there was lien, while COL
ored man, for the same offence, was
sentenced to thirty days in the county
Jail or to pay fine Of ten dollars.
This requires some explanation. What
determined the difference in the degree
Of the two sentenced ? Were the pom
alities proportioned to the value of the
crops sold; or can it possibly be that
the more intelligent offender received n
severer sentence because he was more
intelligent and therefore more deserving
Of punishment ? This is not the rule
generally, and we would be glad to
learn whether it is the rule in Abbeyille.

Capital Social Gossip.

washington Letter in the Cleveland Leader
Secretary Whitney will contest with
Secretary Bayard as the most popular
social member of the Cabinet during the
coming season. He has rented the old
trelinghuyson mansion, which was the
social centre Of Mr.. Arthur's Admins
tration. and is adding large ballroom
Tor this winters entertainments. This
ballroom will he nearly rs big as the
city council. chamber in Cleveland, and
will, it is said, be hung with sobelin ta-
pcstrics. Whitney has more money than
Bayard, and. though he cannot cook the
terrap:n for his dinners himself like the
secretary of State, he can hire French
cook who will probably equal him.
Bayard ought not to expect to save
much out Of his salary as secretary Of
State, even if he docs do his own cook
ing. His position demands more social
work than any other outside Of that of
the President, and he is parsimonious
man indeed who can lay up money in it,
Mr. Evarts paid out $2OWO more than
his salary while he was secretary Of
State under Hayes, thus making his
four years cost him $4,000. Bayard
will get through on less than this, but
he has i family and he wears too good
clothes and has too tasty stomach TO
save anything on $4,000 year.
Vice President Hendricks will live at
Wizards during the coming seasor.
This living ut hotel bya prominent
official has Of late been looked down

Hendricks is such an adroit mixer and

Blue Monday.

is. Everyone has felt the force of it's
gloomy influence. We have no doubt
| that the blue laws Of Connecticut were
devised on Monday, written on Monday
and printed on Monday. Only those ar-
fected with the "blucs" would ever
think Of making law to prevent fell
low from kissing his wife on Sunday.
| The man who first conceived this idea
must have had a wife that he didn't
want to kiss; one of those Spitcful
wives with winter face, the very en-
preston OF which would turn molasscs
into vinegar That man was like the
fox in 4Esop's Fables that lost his tail
in trap. He tried to make all the 9TH
er foxes believe that to wear tails was
not fashionable. There is nothing like
making virtue of necessity. But we
are talking about blue Monday. Blue
Monday makes n fellow feel lazy.
Some people feel lazy all the time.
They can't help it; they were borne
tired. Others like to work. We once
knew man who loved work so we'll
that he could lie clown and sleep by it.
There arc lots of people have blue
Monday all the week and Sunday too.
Sunday is intended as a day of rest,
but, there are great many folks who
| take all Of their exercise OH Sunday.
No wonder they feel bad on Monday.
Then there are some who take Sunday
to mix their drinks and wake up with q
headache next day. No wonder! A
thus tlceting Sunday will n.ake n sic
hnnSH gloyIn nlundi.
Blue Monday makes the grocery men
mad. Few customers come along on
Monday morning, but the never failing
collector with his little bag and men,
orandum book is sure to present him
| self.
The school koy has positively no use
for blue Monday. He knows that he
does not know his lessons, and also
knows that his schoolmastcr, who is
never in Il good humor on Monday
morning, knows it. lie feels that there
is rod in .sonk for hin, and roSins his
hands as he doggedly trudges along.
The romantic young lady is not par
tial to Monday. She wakes up about 8
o'clock in the morning. yawns and turns
over to dream Of the delightful time
she had the ev,ning previous with
Charles Henry Augustus.
1t is different with the newspaper
man. He goes to church OH Sunday
morning. in the afternoon and ut night
he never gets tired of going to church
puts his money (when he has AMY in
the box, goes to bed. sleeps tho sleep of
the inst and wakes up next morning as
the lark. Let blue Monday be ever so
dark for other people, it is always
bright for the newspaper man, who
spares neither time nor pains to make
his papers on Monday as lively and in
teresting as the issue of any other
day.

with his eyes the movements of his cousin.
Laura had withdrawn her hand from that
of Franz and begged him to regain the
bank before her. The place where she
was, however, was dangerous, the very
deep water was boiling with force around
the rocks and the rapid current had al
ready caused many accidents at the place.
The young girl, despite the entreaties Of
Franz, insisted on returning alone; he
was forced to obey her. Laura was ex-
cited and her step lacked confidence
Placing her foot on wet rock, she slipped
and fell into the water. At the moment
when she disappeared borne away by the
current, she saw Franz rushing to her
aid she stretched her arms towards him
and lost all consciousness. The alarm was
given, Madame de Tillac and the other
guests ran up. When Franz, after many
risks. laid the young girl in safety on the
grass, they crowded around her and Gas
ton. distressed at what had just happened,
evidenced the keenest anxiety for his
cousin.
Laura, on opening her eyes, saw his dis
turbed face, and thought he had saved her
and extended to him her hand smiling.
Atsome PAGES, Franz, in dripping gar
ments, fixed on the young girl an anxious
look ; he had snatched her from danger,
but was leaving to others the easy task of
lavishing attentions.
Laura saw him in that condition she
understood that it was he and not CASTOR
who had saved her and her heart was
moved towards Franz by sentiment of
tender gratitude. She was taken to the

Fry, that the process of hay-making does
not consist in a mere drying of fodder
crop. AS soon as the crop is cut, the cells
OF the plants begin to absorb oxygen and
evolve carbonic acid with change Of
starchy substances into sugar. The sweet
0d0r of the bayfield, is a consequence Of
this transformation" And further, 1.-THE
phenomena attending the ripening of
fruit and the making of hay are similar"
Here, in few words, is the scientific
secret of making good hay and the best
ensilage as well-to cut the crop at such
stage and cure it in such manner as shall
secure the greatest percentage of starch in
the plant, turn it to sugar-stOp the trans
formation at the critical point-and pre-
serve the prOvender until wanted for use.
In doing this, not only the starch and
sugar will be best utilized, but the other
nutritious elements will be preserved.
As to the time of cutting grass UptO
certain point, as everybody knows. forage
plants go on improving, laying up in the
stems and leaves stores of nutriment for
herbivorous animals. But there is stage
at which change takes place, seeds form
and gradually ripen, and as they do so the
stems and leaves dry and harden, their
nutritious juices change to woody fibre.

in value at the expense of the rest of the
plant.
1t is generally admitted that timothy,
orchard grass and red-top should be cut
before the bloom begins to dry, and then
then the prime object is to cure as rapidly
as possible, to get the crop housed or Sc
cured in stacks or ricks with the least ex-
posture to weather. Hay cured thus will
preserve its green tint, and have fresh,
fragrant smell which will attract animals
as well as buyers.
Under very favorable circumstances,
timothy may be housed the very day it is
cut. After lying two or three hours in
the swath (premising that it was cut after
the dew was off, if well knocked about
with tedder, and allowed to dry for few
hours more, it can be housed, and often
under this treatment makes the most
beautiful hay. But it is safer for those
who do not know their ground well to put
up the hay in tall cocks well pointed up,
