From the PhitddsLph3d RecOTd.
] an Glad 70 announce that Senator william
Maxwell EVarts has CIV silk hat. Every
body remem ers the shocking bad hat which
he wore when he was secretary of State. IL
could not very well be forgotten, for he
worn it almo~t ever since.
But at last, through the favor of
an admirer, or out of wager on the
election OF David Hill, or in some other
acciden al way, he has acquired new and
shiny hat. He is as careful of 1t as he was
careless Of the old one. He only wears it on
bright days. and then never trusts il out of
sight He viii not let 1t be hung up in the
senate cloak room, nor even IN his own COM
mlftee room, but he takes 1t into his seat on
the floor OF the senate. Not that he puts that
precious hat on the floor Of the Senate. Oh,
no! He puts his gold trimmed eyeglasses on,
fully on his own desk or in the vacant char of
an absent neighbOr.

The execution Of the New Orleans white
muTderers has, 10 seems, been indefinitely
postponed. That means that they have
escaped the gallows. Efforts will now be
begun, doubtless. TO secure their release
from prison. The Governor who was in
huenced TO save them from being hanged
can be Influenced, probably, TO pardon
them.
The law and order portion OF the New
Orleans people are beginning to wonder,
probably, whether the time is distant
when there will be little or no protection
for human life in that city. OF course
they are beginning to understand why
their city does not prosper. People do
not care to seek homes and engage in busl-
ness in a community where it is impos-
sible to punish white murderers. They
would rather take their chances Of max
ing living somewhere else.
The crime for which these New Orleans
white murderers were convicted aroused
the greatest indignation. They asssssi-
mated a citizen at midday in one OF the
principal streets. The press and the
people demanded their conviction. Not
withstanding the attempts TO bride some
Of the jurors they were declared to be
guilty and sentenced to he hanged. A
favOrably inclined board Of pardons twice
refused to recommend a Communication OF
their sentence to imprisonment. There
was no question about their guilt, and the
justice of their sentence was admitted.
TIE board of pardons, therefore, had no
ground on which to interfere in their
behalf.
The Governor. however, has determined,
it seems, 10 save them, and why? Be
cause, it is believed, he desires to please
influential ward politicians in New Or
leans. The murderers were ward politi-
clans, and their friends have, it appears,
succeeded in saving them from an igno-
minious, but deserved death.
The case of these murderers is known
all over the country. and thousands Of
people have been watching it to see
whether the sentiment in New Orleans in
favor " law, justice, virtue and morality
was strong enough to ensure the punish
meut Of these murderers. They are
doubtless convinced that in that city the
worst element is on top.

ployed IN any factory more than te hours

Probably no public man in the Union is
more persistently and Systematically mis-
repre- sented and abused than Secretary
Bayard, and probably no man takes as
little notice of his enemies as he does.
In private letter he recently referred TO
the attack made on him in the North
American ReUiel0 as follows: "There
lives not a human being to whom would
at this moment Intentionally give pain,
and therefore | had rather turn away
from men who disgust me by their base
ness and wound me by their venom. The
kingdom is within, aud man W no means
10 be happy must be content within. It
is the fate OF high place to afford an easy
target for any assault, and must not ex-
pect exception. do not think a thousand
North American RcDie,eS can change my
real character nor my just repute with
honorable and sensitive men. But they
can give pain 10 p great many innocent
people," This treatment Of the matter is
worthy az the man. His position and
recognized worth are such that he can
wen afford TO ignore his enemies. The
more furious the attempts TO besmirch his
name, the brighter does his true charac-
ter and his manly ability show them
selves.

A Checker Player from Montana.

Mr.. Morse, and, introducing himself, said he

Morse If he would play with him. He said he
was himself 90 d player, and that though
the Hartford man might win now and then a
game OF him, he couldn't hope to win sin the
long run" Morse told him he was not in
practice, as he had lately turned his attention
to chess. However, he would play few
games If it would be an accommodation. The
Montana man had looked a good winnie for a
victim. and did not propose TO let this one of,
and they went at It. Morse won the first
game, and Montana spent five minutes IN tell
ing the spectators now he lost 1t. The Hart
ford man couldn't quite see 1t, but for fear
that Montana was laying FOR him he kept
luiet, and let the man from the West tell
how he ought to have done 1t. In minute the
Western man pulled his face down. and his

thought he was going to see the Montana style
of checkers. Not a word was spoken, but a
shade of disgust deepened on MOntanas face.
In few moments he uttered an exclamation

swept the men from the board with a
