THE supreme courtof the United states has just decided q most im- portant point of law in the case of cx parte Wilson. Wilson was con victcd of countcrfciting United States bond, and been tried and convicted by a United States cogrt and sentenced to fifteen years in a pcnitentiary. He applied for a ha- beas corpus on the ground that he was convicted of an infamous crime on information. without in diciment, contrary to the Fifth Amendment of the constitution. which declares that no peyscn shall be held to answer for capital or otherwise infamous crime except on a presentment or indictment of grand jury, Justices Gray, in delivering the judgment of the court, reviewed the authorities or the subject of infamous crimns, and finally concluded that imprison- nent at hard labor has taken the  place of the infamous punishment of forme: days. and that any crime for which the law assigns that penalty is consequently an "infa- nous crimo" within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment. He therefore ordered the discharge of the prisoner on the groand that proceedings against him should have begun by indictment instead of information.
 
 The inference is that while prosecuting attorneys, acting un- der state laws. may try persons ac- cuscd of crime on informat;ons without indictments in state courts, and the death penalty itself may be inflicted in cases of vetdic.s Cf guilty; Federal courts cannot bring

See the young man. He is not quite so
tall as his younger sister but then he is
much Simmer. His cheeks are ruddy as
ripening peaches, but they are not quite
80 downy. He Is raising a mustache.
When he gets two more hairs sprouted
on the right side and one more on the
left he will have three altogether. He
has been nearly five weeks utof school,
and if he lives and keeps his health he
VII be 10 years old in the third year of
Mr.. Cleveland's first term. Is he an
editor? He is journalist. He is the
man who writes all the funny jokes
about married men, and how wives talk
all night, and what trial and expense
a large family of growing-up daughters
is, and how many large bills a married
man has to pay, and how he is always
bald, and stays at the club every night,
and always comes home drunk, and
plays poker, and goes to the theatre with
strange ladies, and lodges his creditors.
Does that very young man write all
those funny things? Yes, dear. 1t is
because he is SO very young that he
writes them. Will he know more az he
grows older? Perhaps; if he should
live to be couple Of thousand years
older he might know a little more. Is
the young man fresh Is he? If he
should wade through the ocean, dear,
the blue waters of the loud-sounding
sea could forever after be used for drink
ing purposes.

The Desperate Attempt Of . Convicted Cat.

Sheriff Pippert, of Wabaunsee county,
was in town yesterday, says the Com.
nonweolth, having stopped in this city
after leaving John F. Witherspoon
at the penitentiary. Witherspoon was
convicted OF stealing a car lead of cattle
ct Eskridge, taking them to Emporia
and from thence shipping them to Kan
sas City where they were sold. He had
been q very gentlemanly fellow all the
time, and the Jail in Wabaunsee county
being in such poor condition, Sheriff
Pippert, who keeps harness store in
Alma, locked his prisoner in q room
above it, being one of the rooms occu-
pied by himself and family. To avoid
trouble, Sheriff Pippert ironed his ankles
but otherwise he was as well taken care
of Is he could wish, and appeared sensi-
BILE of the kindness shown him.
On Monday, the day set for the trip
to the penitentiary, the prisoner asked
that the shacklss be removed from his
ankles so that he could change his boots

How General Scott Hanged peserters.

How General Scott Hanged Deserters.
At the battle of Cherubusco in Mexico,
one ofthose series of battles which took
place before the capital was captured,
occurred one of the most impressive
acts of the entire war. l mean as to its
effect upon the men of army. It was
one of those events which carried in
slant conviction to the minds of soldiers
that discipline and allegiance to the flag
were OF paramount Importance. After q
desperate struggle the works were car
ried, and among the captured were
found number of deserters, men who
joined the Mexicans and served the
guns against their own comrades, and the
full force of their sid to the enemy is
apparent when it is known that they
were nearly all trained aftillerists. On
the discovery being made intense in
dignation prevailed, and nothing but
the strictest discipline and prompt
obedience to orders prevented the men
from dealing out instant vengeance upon
the deserters.
But dum-head court-martial decided,
with due formality, their fate which was
to be hanged ANONYMOUSLY in the pres.
ence of all the army then at that point
assembled. It must be understood that
a portion of the forces were then engag-
ed with the enemy at Chepultepec, that
almost inaccessible fortress, and very
stronghold of the enemy, holding fur
ther advances upon the city, and that
that most desperate engagement was then
undecided. The men were drawn up in
due order, each with rope around his
neck-thirty deluded victims about to re-
ceive merited punishment FIR basely de-
serting tee flag and turning the enemy's
guns againat their own comrades. The
officer in charge, npon whom devoived
the duty, cast quick glance in the d.
rection Of Chepultepec. Suddenly q
thought seemed to impress him, and he
said, "Let them stand until they shall
see the American flag upon TIM heights
of Chepultepec." With breathless anx-
iety they waited. TT was hard fought
battle, the final result being doubtful.
Many brave men went down to rise no
more, and many a man carried the
wounds there received through life to
his grave.
The gallant Colonel Ransom, of the
New England Regimet, yielded his life;
Captain Mayne Reid, whom knew, and
others, were wounded, and were among
the first to enter the works.
Suddenly shout went up that carried
relief to some, at least, of those anxious
watchers and dismay to the hearts of
those men who stood awaiting their
doom. The heights had been carried
and the starry banner foated to the
breeze. All eyes then turned to the sad
spectacle before them. The deserters
stood motionless as statues awaiting the
doom they could not shun. They had
sworn to protect and were sent ''unan-
ointed and unannealed" to answer to
the last great roll call."--Letter to The
Boston Post.
