JUSTICE RATHER THAN LAW.

Ben. Perley Poore in the Boston Budget
Mr.. Webster used sometimes to read
the conclusion of a charge by Judge
Dudley, a trader and farmer, manu-
script copy of which he had for many
years in his desk. 1t was treat to hear
him read it in pure and indebted Eng
fish, as it doubtless came from Judge
Dudley's lips; "lOu have heard, gem
tlemen of the jury, what has been said in
this case by the lawyers, the rascalS !,
but no, will not abuse them. 1t is their
business to make a good cause for their
clients; they are paid for it, and they
have done in this case well enough, but
you and |, gentlemen, have something
else to consider. They talk of law
Why, gentlemen, it is not law that we
want, but justice. They would govern
us by the common law of England.
Trust me, gentlemen, common sense is n
much safer guard for us; the common
sense of Raymond, Epping, Exeter, and
the other towns which have sent us here
to try this case between two of our neigh
bOrs. A clear head and an honest heart
are worth more than all the law of the
the lawyers. There was one good thing
said at the bar. 1t was from one Shakes
peare, an English player, believe. No
matter, it is good enough almost to be in
the Bible. 1t is this BE just and fear
not 1t is our business to do justice be-
tween the parties, not by any quirks of
the law out of Coke or Blackstone, books
that | have never read and never will,
but by common sense and by common
honesty, as between man and man. That
is our business, and the curse of God is
upon us if we neglect, or evade, or turn
aside from it. And now, Mr.. Sheriff,
take out the jury, and you, Mr.. Foreman,
do not keep us waiting with idle talk, of
which there has been too much already
about matters which have nothing to do
with the merits of the case. Give us an
honest verdict, of which, as plain,
common sense men, you need not be
ashamed"

THE WESTERNERS.

Great Loss of Life-Railroads Washed
Out-rwenty-five Dead Bodies in
one Mayors ONCE.

XENIA, o., May 13.-About Z O'Clock
last evening, terrible clouds were seen
gathering, and terrific lightning followed
by peas of thunder. This lasted till 6
o'clock, when an extraordinary clap of
thunder seemed to open the gates and
rain fell in torrents. People living in
houses on Water street escaped by every
way possible. The spout seemed to vent
its fury on that portion of the city for Il
stretch of $50 yards, and tore the houses
on Water street to pieces us if they were
shells. A resident states that within two
minutes after the clap he stood in water
to his waist, being about 25 yards from
the creek. The residence of Aaron Fer
guson was swept away with nine inmates
and lodged against the bridge, where
they were afterward rescued A tene-
ment house occupied by nine persons
was washed away and up to 8 p. m. none
of them had been heard from. Horses
and houses were lost by the dozens and
railroads leading out of the city were
swept away, so it is impossible to hear
from outside points. At least a dozen
trains are within a few miles of here
Telegraph wires are down and business is
suspended. The house of a family named
Morris was swept away. A man was seen
at the window by the terror stricken
crowd, waving lighted lamp. The next
instant the house collapsed and they were
gone, only one of them, a boy ID years of
age escaping.
The work of finding the bodies still
continues tonight. The mayors office is
turned into a morgue and there are now
% bodies there, the scenes are heartrend-
ing, whole families lie distigured on the

Subscriptions Rapidly Coming in for the
Great Catholic University.

The heartiness and enthusiasm with
which the project of erecting in Washing
ton a Roman Catholic university has been
received by Catholics in all sections of the
country are sufficient evidence that it will
become n fact before long. Subscriptions
still continue to pour in. Already the
sum in hand is sufficient to warrant the
commencement of the building. The
major portion of the 81 100000 which was
to be collected for the endowment is in
hand and more is still coming The COM
mittee had meeting last week in Balti-
more last week and selected three of ten
plans for the building, which had been
sent i'll by some of the principal architects
of the country. Probably the best
features of the three designs will
be incorporated into one finally. Ground
will not be broken for the erection of the
building TIL next spring but when opera,
tons are once commenced they will be
pushed forward with rapidity. The new
institution is to be a university and not a
college. 1t will be founded on system
similar to that IN vogue at Oxford and
Cambridge. 1t is not proposed to give IA
professional education, but the course will
be so modelled that none but post-gradu-
ates and those who have their professional
education, will be eligible for admission.
In this way it will not interfere in any
way with the existing colleges At first,
instruction will be confined to three
branches of learning, philosophy, theolo-
gy and philolOgy, and will afterward in
clude law aud medicine. DR.. Chapelle
says zone of the principal reasons that
Washington was chosen as the site of the
university was because students could
here meet with the superior minds of this
and other countries, and of the many
valuable scientific collections, Libraries
and courses of scientific lectures, etc,
which are to be found here" The ques
ton of internal management was the sub
ject of much discussion at the last meeting
of the committee some members favoring
the election of a rector and others opposing
it. 1t was finally decided to elect one
which was accordingly done. 1t is be-
lieved Archbishop Spauldng was the
man SO honored The management of
the interior Of the university will be en-
trusted to the members of the religious
society by whom the arrangements are
now being made.
