ROBERT BURNS.

Again the time has come for us t
do honor to the memory of Scotland
National Poet, for tomorrow will bt
the 130th anniversary of his birth,
1t is fitting that in Bottineau county
containing SC many Of fair Sco'
tias sons and fairer daughters,
we should seek to preserve the memory
of the peasant poet ever bright and
fair, tor among earth's creates,
names, that of Burns stands out
above all others pre.eminently great,
because of tbe nobility Of bis charac'
ter, the poverty, hardship and sorrow
Of his life and above all, the tender
pathos of his immortal verses. In
these more or less degenerate days.
when bribery, corruption and Doodle
contaminate and demoralize, il is re.
freshing to contemplate sentiments
that have made illustrious some lives,
have adorned some characters and
made US realize that.
The honest man though e'er sae poor,
Is king of men for a that.
The following tribute to the i'm.
mortal bard Of Scotland, is from the
pen Of one of. our young Bottineau
maidens, so well known to all for her
accomplishments and amiable traits Of
character. Flora G., the daughter of
the Rev. Alexander Burr is an enthu.
siast and in her tribute to the illus
trious poet shows her high apprecia.
ton of all that ennobles nature and
dignifes humanity
Lines to Robert Burns.
Oh! Robert Burns thy: name is love-
A home and other lands;
y0r thou the peoples pet art,
Thy name our love
Though thou IN lowly NE vert born.
Thou vert Q good mans son;
Their path thou did'st not shun.
Twas at the plough thou learned to make
Thy grand n gentlest songs,
Thy spirit true mnke& US forget
Thy errors and thy wrongs.
Thy theme VA not above the minds.
OF chose thou dwelt among;
Thy thoughts were what they felt y knew
But spoken with thy tongue.
1t was of what they loved the best,
Their bonny Island Home;
And o, thy name they'll always love,
No matter where they roam.
And Oh, one lesson, grand thou %taughtst,
To those Of low estste
That they're the same If they ar goo d,
As those termed high and great.
And yet the noblest in the lsnd,
Thy name do still revere;
They love thy free and noble mind,
And thou to them art dear.
In broad Dskota's fertile plains,
Brave 6cotland's sons are found
And there make homes; but still for theo,
Their hearts with love abound,
Ant whsL with pride they think and speak,
OF Scotta'y woods and dells,
They'll tell Of Robert Burns and hts
Own Benny Mauchline Bellies.

WAITING FOR THE VERDICT.
Mrs. Taylor's Case Now I'm the Hands of
Twelve Men OF Accomac County.

An Onancock, Va, special to the Baltimore
ADtericCH says that in the trial Of Mrs. Virginia
Taylor for the murder of her husband. that has
been in progress for the past four DAYS in Ac-
comac county court, Judge Garrison gave in
structions to the jury in the following form:
First The court instructs the jury that circum-
stantial evidence in & criminal case should be
acted on with the utmost caution. Second
The court instructs the Jury that to Justify
them IN finding the prisoner guilty, the evil
dence must exclude every hypothesis consist
ent with innocence. No matter how suspicious
the circumstances of the case may be. if upon
the evidence there be a reasonable doubt
either that the deceased did not die from poi
s0@: or Was t mat poisoned the the
by her 1t was so administered by accident or
without criminal intent. In either event the
prisoner Is entitled to her aequittal. and in de-
terminng whether any of the three hypothesis
IL true the jury Is instructed that the burden of
the proof Is upon the commonwealth to show
beyond a reasonable doubt that none of the
three Is true. Third II, upon either one of the
SAID hypothesis mentioned in the second in
suuctlOn given by the court the jury enter
tanned reasonable doubt of the guilt of the
prisoner, they must acquit her. Fourth. If,
upon the whole evidence, or upon any single
point essential to the prisoners guilt, the jury
EtdsOhdOiO uOuDl, luust dC-
quit her.
Hon. John ". G. Blackstone opened the case
In a strong and vigorous argument for the pros
ecution. He used no harsh language toward
the prisoner and did not ask the jury to make
. vicarious sacrifice of her, but only to uphold
the law and protect human life. Hon. John
Nicely followed for the defense in a speech of
remarkable power and eloquence. He con-
structed a plausible theory to establish the in
nocence of the prisoner, contending that de-
ceased NAV have died from natural causes, and
that no evidence had been addreed to show
that the prisoner had given her husband any
strychnine. Mr.. Nicely appeal for the accused
woman was one of the most eloquent and effect
i've ever heard in this court.
Jas. III. Fletcher, jr., attorney for the COM
monwealth, closed the case with strong argu-
ment against the prisoner. 1t was exactly half
past p m. when the case was given to the jury.
Mrs TAYLOR. who sat inside the bar throughout
the entire argument, showed some slight symp-
toms of anxiety and suspense after the jury had
gone out, but she managed to retain her self
conposure in a remarkable degree. After
being out about forty minutes the jury re-
turned and stated they had not reached a ver-
dict The sheriff took them in charge, and Mrs.
Taylor was led back to Jail.
There is considerable diversity of opinion here
as to the probable action of the jury. Many
think the prisoner will be sent to the peniten-
tlary, while others believe there will be hung
jury. Few. if any, believe that the accused
will be found guilty of murder in the first de-

A MOurnful Difference,

From the Arkansaw Traveller.
The Hon. John W. Bickle, one of the wealth.
lest and consequently one of the most highly
respected men in the Poplar shade neighbor-
hood, was walking in his garden one evening.
breathing the perfume of the early spring
flowers when a limping traveller, stained and
unattractive in dress. came up to the fence,
and, in gentle voice, said something in COM
pliment of the shrubbery Bickle turned
around, and, being instantly taken with the
pleasing face of the man, replied:
Yes, the shrubbery is beautiful at this time
Of year. when the young and gentle leaves,
touching each other for the first time. seem to
be thrilled"
"Ah, responded the tramp (for indeed he
was such, albeit his face wore a gentle express
sion), II am glad to know that this garden is
owned by man who has that pure sentiment
which leads up to an appreciation of such dainty
children of the forest"
asked.
Thank you. shall be delighted;'' and he
accordingly entered the garden where, seated
on bench, he and the honorable gentleman
talked until twilight had deepened with a
tinge of eve."

| from the back window of farmers kitchen,
| and he was now ready to eat something. The
stranger WAS not introduced to the handsome
woman who presided at the table-indeed Bickle
had not asked the name of the wayfarer-but
| this threw no damp dish-rag upon an appetite
that had longed for sympathy and something to
| take into its embrace.
Now, my friend" said Bickle, when the meal
was finished, ''let Us go into the library and
| smoke fragrant tobacco"
The stranger said that he would go. During
| the past week he had smoked cigar stumps
| crumbled into a clay pipe, and the thought OF
| smoking tobacco that had been subjected to no
previous use made his mouth water.
When they had lighted imported cigars
when they had yielded to satisfaction's perfect
enthralment, Bickle remarked:
