here at the last assizee. crime had been
committed on the very day the judges
came into the town on one Of the MEM

high position in your county, and Of the
highest character. He had the marks of
the offense upon him and day or two
after saw him going home from my
lodgings, and I believe he died after

wrong in that-am I?
The High Sherif-He is on the grand

His Lordship-I am happy to know

He Made His Way.

New York Tribune.
Twas chatting the other day with
General Charles K. Graham, who spent
more than six years in the customs ser
vice at this port, when the name Of
Thomas L. James was mentioned, and
the general said: 1.-THE career Of Mr..
James has been simply wonderful.
When I first knew him he was q night
Waterman in the custom house. Then
he was clerk. Then he was weigher
He had the department where they
weighed tea. It was in the days when
the weigher was allowed fees. He must
have taken in as much as $4,000 in a
single year. From the custom house he
went to the postoffice, and from here into
the cabinet, and finally dropped into the
good graces of Mr.. Vanderbilt, through
whom he secured his present position at
the head of the Lincoln National Bank
and Safety Deposit company. It is
fine position, but Mr.. James won it by
hard work"

special says that at 1870 this morning Cut
ting was taken before Judge Castanda's
court, when the official minutes of the
Chihuahua court, which had arrived this
morning, were read to him, reciting tho de-
cree releasing him from further custody.
The decision of the court is based entirely
uponi the fact that Medina, the offended
party, waived his right to q civil suit for
damages, the court holding that this ended
by the court, Cutting replied, 'as long as
am not further detained as prisoner l &C.
cept my liberty and request that a:copy of
the decree of the supreme court be
given me for my future use."
This the court consented to do
in Spanish. Judge Castenada sent a copy
of the decree to Jose Politioo, who sent back
word that he in person would give Cutting
his liberty, accompanied by some whole
some advice. Cutting said to a reporter:
"Well, can't understand what all this has
to do with my card in the Ell Paso Herald,
for which solely l was arrested, for four
weeks incarcerated, and was being tried at
the time my government made demand for
my immediate release" 1t is said on the
other side of the Rio Grande that the Mexi-
can constitution prohibits the residence of
within the republic, and this law will be en-
forced against Cutting.
After the decree had been read to Cutting,
and copy refused to him, he was carried to
the Office of Mayor Provencis where he was
formally set at liberty. Consul Brigham,
with a number of Americans were with him;
cordial shaking of hands between the
Americans followed, and all adjourned to a
casino in the corner called GEL Principale."

can soil. Danlin, the official interpreter,
the mayor, and several Mexican officials, en-
tered the casino, and a few words were ex-
changed between the parties, the evident in
tent being to arrest Cutting. The latter, in
reply to remark, said to Danlin, with fin
ger raised: 81 will meet the five principals
in this matter later" This was said in an
impressive manner, just as a man might say
when I get you salone We will have this
thing out" It wa instantly reported, and
the mayor and Danlin cried out: "Pues va
es an muvo delitos," which in English is;
"a new offeuse." Several of the Mexicans
stepped toward him, but the car having op-
portunely arrived, Cuttings American
friends closed in around him, aud hur-
rying him to the car, he was as rapidly as
the time table allows drawn across the Dor

initiating Harry penningslaud is raising
rats. He has got about half dozen at
present. It is amusing to see him as he
passes to and from his cell to the shop
where the men stay during the day.
His rodent companions, which are quite
large, put their heads out of his pockets
and if there is no one very near they
will run up on his shoulder and even on
the top of his head. They are very
tame and seem to afectionately regard
the convict, who is certainly proud of
his pets. He is learning them to per-
form several interesting feats.
"When Harry Jennings was resident
at the institution, under Warden Haynes,
he bred mice, and had at one time in the
cellar, under the clerks Office, about four
hundred of these little creatures, some
of which were white, some black, some,
brown, and some mixture of these colorss
Descendants of Jennings mice are quite
numerous in the prison, not few of tho
convicts having one or two specimens.
The men enjoy the companionship Of
these vermin and prize them highly.
The prisoners however, who are the
fortunate possessors Of canary birds do
not take kindly to the mice"

Mrs. McGudley laid down her knitting
and in contemplative way remarked:
81 hope we won't have another war, but
I am afraid we will"
"What makes you think so, grand
maj" asked the lad who was mending
his kite near by.
"On account of this terrible traffic in
human flesh. I thought the slave trade
was done away with, but it isn't, and I
am afraid there will be another outbreak
before very long"
"Why, grandma, there amt any more
slaves.

little pettishly. Didn't hear your
father say he had man on the road
(whatever that is) who saw ten men in
one day and sold six of them? I never
thought to see my son engaged in that
business" she went on disconsolately.
''I'n have to talk to him about it."

The above slip is taken from Chicago

made rambe over the farm of Mr.. Alfred
Ray, in this county, an account Of which
appeared in the SENTINEL We cannot now
recall whether we referred to the two ven.
cradle weeping willows which stoed near
Mr. Rays residence or not. The ravages
Of time had made sad havoc, and there was
little left To tell of their former luxuriance
save their immense trunks, over which, here
and there, could be traced the vcstige Of the
initials OF those who had evidently loved 10
rest and doubtless muse under their deep
and cooling shade. We then learned that
these two willows were planted by Robert
Y. Brent, and were obtained from General
Clifton from bunch Of eight shoots. Parke
Gusts received two, Dudley Diggs, Of Prince
Georges county, two, and the CAROLS, Of
budding, two, making In all, with the two
