Ford and Murphy.

The Governor has, upon petitions
of numerous citizens in various parts
of the State, again granted respite
to the two men who murdered Capt.
Murphy, one year ago, and who
were sentenced to be hung on yester-
day week. The Governor, in grant
ing the first respite in November,
did a mercifnl and just act. In res.
ponding to the great pressure made
upon him in the latter instance he
NAV not deserve censure. These men
have had two trials before the Dis.
trict Courts twice their case has
been presented to the Board of Par
dons, without avail. That they com
mi,ted the bloody murder, they, nor
their friends, do not pretend to deny.
Every confession, from that Of Judge
Ford, who says he fred the fatal
shots, to the effort made by Judge
Houston before the Board of Par
dons, in which he virtually admits
that The conspirators did not hunt
Murphy to kill him only, but also TO
slay two or more friends, that he
was expected to have with him, has
made the matter worse tor those two
men. The Board of Pardons had a
duty TO perform which they have
done justly and honestly, after hav'
ing considered all the facts and cir.
cumstances of the case. Now is
there any law that requires that the
Board of Pardous shall take up a
case and act upon it whenever it
snits the idea of anybody to have i,
done. After they have given case
careful consideration, j. that not

A Sparrow Story.

A Washington pedestrian reports
a curious incident of the effect of
the warm weather upon the asphalt
pavement. 1t was 2:20 o'clock when
a sparrow flew down to catch a
grasshopper. The grasshopper didn't
move. for the good reason that its
feet were stuck fast, and before the
sparrow Was through eating the
morsel it was in a like condition.
Its mate flew \over it's head and
about chirping piteously, and flew
down to rescue its better.half. It,
too, upon resting its feet in the tar
was stuck fast. If sparrows we're
like men all the feathered tribe ia

without hearing Of the piteous cries
of their kindred. But they didn't
but one by one they flew down tr

its bnlk is said to be exactly double

the second and seventh years it is
again almost doubled. A slower
rate Of growth now sets in until
about the fifteenth year, the auemen'
