"A Strange Case.
From the Ba fillmore Sun.

rom Jue Da lLlIQOre Dun.
DR.. Joseph S. Baldwin writes to the
Sun from Eklo, Baltimore county, in
relation to the Cluverius case, as fol-
lows. "The Suns closing comment in
reference to the case OF Thomas J.
Cluverius, convicted in the hastings

der OF his cousin, Miss Fannie Lillian
Madison. 1T is to be hoped that the
judges, jury, and governor have made
no mistake recalls to my mind an
authentic case which occurred in
Richmond, Va, many years ago, and
is one of the most remarkable in the
criminal annals of our country,
and establishes conclusively the great
uncertainty as to purely circumstan-
tlal evidence being always proof OF
guilt. The case [ refer to is as follows:
A broker of Richmond and his broth
er-ln-law had a personal difficulty in
regard to some pecuniary affairs. A
lew days subsequent to the quarrel
the broker was seen to enter Belle Is
land, at that time great resort for
hunting wild fowl. A few hours after
wards his brother in-law was known
to have gone upon the island for the
purpose Of hunting from different
point. Thernext day the broker was
found murdered with a bullet in his
brain. The brother-in.la was at
once arrested for his murder. The bull
let was found to be of the exac:. size OF
the bullets used by his brother-in-law
in his rifle. and the rifle was found UNI
loaded. Upon this very strong cir
clrcumstantial evidence the man was
convicted and executed. Many years
afterwards a gambler upon his death
bed confessed that he had murdered
the broker; had seen him enter the isl.
and, and, supposing him to have mon.
ey, had shot him, and fled west. At
the time he fired the fatal shot some
one (the brother-in-law) had fired sim
ultaneously at some wild game. 70
assert that all innocent men1oan es-
tablish beyond q doubt their 1nno-
cence when accused of crime is TN
inhuman doctrine, suitable only to
the days of witchcraft. If Cluverius
IS guilty of the horrible crime of which
he is accused he richly deserves the
extreme penalty of the law; but / full
" concur in the disse nting opinion OF
Judge Hinton OF the court OF appeals
OF Virginia, who says the theory OF
the suicide OF Miss Madison is not in
consistent with the facts OF the case,
and the circumstantial evidence did
not justify the verdict of murder in
the first degree. You very wisely and
lxlstly say, "it is to be hoped the
ludges, jury, and governor have made
no mistake

Another Fad"

,"Another English fad has just been
introduced in New York, and of course
it will soon be the proper thing. The
bride, at her wedding, must carry a
praj-er-book instead Of a bouquet. 1t
must be extensively bound, too, and is
laid away with the bridal veil as me-
mento of the occasion. The maid of
honor is also new notion-or, rather,
revival Of an old custom, and one
against when no objection can be
found. She is expected to assist the

is produced, relieve her of her fan,

GranJys Old Servant Talks.

when did Grant realize the fact of
his approaching death?'' ut was at
DR.. Douglas office, in New York. He
was alone with Dr. Douglas and myself.
Grant had just had an examination of
his throat and he asked DR.. Douglas if
he could assure him that his trouble
would not develop into a cancer.
Douglas told him that he could not as
sure him of this fact, but that he hoped
he might be able to cure him. Gen.
Grant then said: If you think thus,
Dr.. Douglas, there is hope for me-
Soon after this Grants carriage came
and we went way. AS we drove off
he told me not to say anything to the
family as to what DR.. Douglas had
said. Throughout his whole sickness
Gen. Grants family never knew how
much pain he suffered. From the time
of his sickness till his death, was not
two hours absent from him. Many
nights he would walk the floor all night
When the family would ask him in the
morning how he had rested, he would
say, pretty we'll, and would try to APP
pear cheerful. He had the most terri
bic pain all the time, and I don't think
he had moments cessation of pain
during those last months. He felt
greatly relieved when he had finished
his book and his happiest days were
those just before his death. During
his whole sickness he never grew irrita-
bic or lost his temper. He was the
kindest man [ ever knew and he had a
great love for his family. Mrs. Grant
called him Ulysses and she was very
fond Of him. He always called her
Mrs. Grant and he was certainly one
of the best Of husbands. '-Inte1view

resistance. he vas dead. He had
cut his throat with the sheath knife
with which he had sought tho lives Of
his shipmates.
The body of the dead sailor was
brought on deck. sewed up in canvas,
and buried in the sea. For two days
this man had kept the whole ships
crew at hay and in a state of terror,
for with one match he might have
fired the cargo. In the space in the
hold where he had barricaded himself
were found the bread and water and
pipe and tobacco which he had slowed
away. The knife and sharpened spade
were there, and with them was a whet-
stone, on which the edges had been
made keen. All the wounded men have
recovered except the mate, who was
struck in the face by a piece of timber.
He left the Granite State at Hong
Kong, returned to hecity by another
vessel, and is now in Bellevue Hos
pital, suffering still from the results Of
that injury.

Blightcd by Prospective Wealth.

Blightcd by Prospective Wealth.
The suicide at Buffalo Of young Mr..
Dickson, the son and heir OF a wealthy
and aristocratic widow who lived in
that city, again illustrates the blight
ing influence which wealth, Or the i'm
mediate prospect OF wealth, often
brings. The facts are thus given:
In a few years at most Mr.. Dickson
would have come into an estate worth
100000 Or more. He knew this,
for he had been reared in luxury and
frequently told of the fortune which
he would eventually inherit, and the
knowledge appears to have been the
real cause of his ruin. Never without
plenty of spending money as a boy,
his extravaganza increased with his
years, and at the time he took his
own life he had not only incurred the
displeasure of his family for his
dissipation and folly, but was fgur-
ing, at the age of twenty, as the
defendant in a series OF legal suits OF
a far from flattering nature. Some

immediate friends were given to under
stand that he contemplated marrying
q woman far below him in the social
scale. This they were anxious to pre-
vent, and, all other means failing, they
had him incarcerated in an insane asy-
lum, his excuses having somewhat I'M
settled his mind After three months
Of confinement he announced that he
no longer loved the woman, and &C
cordingly was released. But his an
nouncement was only ruse, for on
December 6, q year ago, he married
her, only to desert her before six
months had fled. Out of this grew
suits and counter-suits among the
friends of both, no settlement having
been arrived at until the day OF the
suicide. The fact that any comprom-
Use had been agreed upon was unknown
to young Dickson when he swallowed
the fatal dose OF poison, and it is
claimed that he would not have tax
Ell his own life had knowledge of the
compromise been his. The circles in
which he originally moved ale much
shocked at the end OF his career, and
his widowed mother is reported as
heartbroken over the act committed
but a few moments after a stormy in
terview between her and the suicide.

Scenes at the Seal Islands.
From Our Alaskan Province.

AS the females come up wet and drip
ping from the water they are at first q
dull, dirty color, dark on the back
and upper parts, but in a few hours
the transformation in their appear
ance made by drying is wonderful.
You would hardly believe that they
could be the same animals, for they
fairly glisten with a rich steel and
Maltese gray lustre on the back of the
head, the neck and along down the
spine, which blends into an almost
snow-white over the chest and on the
abdomen. But this beautiful coloring
IN turn is again altered by exposure
to the same weather, for alter few
days it will gradually change, so that
by the lapse Of two OF three weeks it
is dull, rufous-ochre below and a
clnerous brown and gray mixed above.
This color they retain throug hout the
breeding season up to the time of
shedding their coats in August.
These "bachelor" seals are, | am sure,
without exception, the most restless
animals in the whole brute creation
which can boast ofa high organization.
Ihey frolic and lope about over the
grounds for hours without a moments
cessation, and their sleep after this is
exceedingly short, and it is ever accom-
panied by nervous twitching and
uneasy muscular movements. They
seem to be fairly brimful and over
running with spontaneity, to be sur
charged with fervid electric life.
Another marked feature observed
among the multitudes of "holhis-
chickie" which has come under my
personal observations and auditory,
IS that nothing like ill-humor ap-
pears IN all of their playing togeth-
er. They never growl or bite or
show even the slightest angry feeling
bat are invariably as happy one
with another as can be Imagined.
This is very singular trait. They
lose it, however, with astonishing
rapidity when their ambition and
strength develope and carry them in
due course Of time to the rockery.
The pups and yearlings have an es-
peclal fondness for sporting on rocks
which are just at the water level and
a-Wash, so as to be covered and I'M
covered as the surf rolls in. On the
bare summit OF these wave-worns spots
they will struggle and Chamber in
groups OF a dozen or two at time
throughout the whole day in endeavor-
ing to push off that one of their
number which has just been for
tunate enough to secure a landing.
The successor has, however, but a
brief moment of exultation in victory.
or the next roller that comes boom
ing in. together with that pressure by
It's friends, turns the table, and the
game IS repeated, will, another seal
on top.

strict respect for the properties, and
he is entitled to take more than little
pride in his ability to say this in earnest
as well as in jest. BY the way, a funny
little story has been told of a young
woman who, being cast for the part Of
one of the Howells heroines, was asked
by her stagelover. how she would have

him an unsound republican because he
had an i'll opinion of Mr.. Blaine, have
largely the control of the party, and
assume to be the true republicans, that
the party is under cloud. No amount
of fervent devotion to a party as par
ty, without regard to character or prin-
ciple, can save a party whose strength
and life have always lain in character
and principle. The democratic sneer
at the republican party as a party of
moral ideas was joke at it's real
strength. But a republican party
which makes deals with democrats for
patronage and plumber, and. which
truckles to the saloon interest while it
sneers at such independence as that
of Mr.. Edmunds as Phariseeism and
hypocrisy, is not a party which can
long retain the sympathy and support
of the convictions and character from
which the republican party sprang.
The republican victory in Vermont is
a signal rebuke of the tendency which
would be fatal to the republican party.

A Woman STABILITY Treated.

Miss Lucy Torrey of Cambridge,
Mass, aged "a, has been shamefully
tricked by an imposter calling himself
Dr.. Andrew jackson Grant. She has
snug little fortune, and the rascal
wooed and won her at LittletOn, N. H.,
where she was summering. They
were married by Rev. DR.. Peabody at
Cambridge about two weeks ago, and
went to Saratoga and thence to Albany
to spend their honeymoon. The willy
"doctor" had her draw $4,000 from the
bank and give it to him, made her pack
her clothes in his trunk, and kissed her
good bye at Albany last Thursday to
see his "sister who was dangerously
ill.," He took with him his wife's
clothes, trunks and money. The "doc-
tors" sister was with him at LittletOn,
and there is no doubt that they are
clever adventures who have operated
in different parts of the country. Mrs.
Grant has heard indirectly that her
husband is in Montreal, and the police
have been put upon his trial.
