A New Trial.

The alleged murderers Of Pat

trial by tue Supreme Court, Oh &C
count Of an error in the ruling Of
the lover judge in refusing to al
low tie introduction Of certain ey-
idence in favor Of the defendants.
This was q political trial all tile
way through, and although the
defendants may be guilty Of muir
dering Mesley, yet it Is perfectly
clear that they had no sympathy
or showing IN the lover court.
The Judge himself being opposed
20 them and doing all be could to
secure their conviction. 1t is q
sad reryersioa OF justice and an
unwarrauted abuse OF the judges
power when he uses his influence
either tor or against the prisoners,
IS is too often done. We're it net
for the fact that we have q Sup
rene Court Of five judges to re-
view the decisions OF the district

lower courts would lie q mere chi
mera Of ths imagination, and a
vain mockcry. us often the ease
that the judge has very decided
convictions about 4 certain case,
and if he happens to be man Of
high prejudice, he is unable to
conceal his views from the jury
and thus his influence, as a judge,

We are satisfied that the Sup
rene Court was entirely correct in
granting 4 new trial to these men.
1t is hardly reasonable to believe
that these poor, ignorant men,
went into where Mea.ey aud his
crowd of about twenty were, and
raised the row. We hope they

Catherine Cole on Woman.

We clip the following from Tie
Hiccyune written by the facile..pen
Of Catherine Cole:
Each woman ought to be care
ful how she undermines mans
opinion Of her sex. A jealous,
waspish, mean-splrited woman,
who belittles other women to her
husbsnd or sons, who calls attcn
ton to our failings and fol!ies, is
deliberately lessaing her hold on
them and tie quality of their re.
spect for herself. There are men
with knightly hearts who are chiv-
alric in their regard for all WON
en-. These would certainly defend
. forlorn drunken creature falling
in a gutter with all the sweet and
pathetic loyalty of poor Don Quix
ote, and it goes hard to see such
man lose faith in women. 1t is
like the bloom on The grape, like
love in the heart, once lost il is
gone forever. A true woman
would as soon think of destroying
such faith as she would the Chris
tian belief of a little child who
prays God will keep him through
the night.
"Thcre are young men and boys
who think it very smart and world
" to make questionable jokes
about women; to lyingIy boast Of
conquests they have made in their
evil minds, and TO gossip about
ladies and young girls. They
crliicise young school girls ard
wi!lfully misinterpret every pleas
sntry of the young ladies' whom
they visit. They think it great to
affect to be cynical Of women and
pass judgment on good and lovely
Eatrons in a way that makes one
long to box their ears. One won
ders who were the mothers ofsuch
men, or what svrt Of home infu-
ence and home training they had,
and at whose knee-surcly not q
woman's-they could have learn
ed the lesson of big man falling
so low as to make a woman the
target of q cruel joke, the victim
Of a slanderous speech.
Remember your own moyher-
she who auffered death asonies for
you-she who carried you first IN.
der, then over her heart-and
speak 10 evil of any woman
ought to be the speeding cry of
every mother to her young son."

Renort the Grand Jury.

n0iGlnG session IN anu l0f Aiai-
borne parish, Feb'y term, 1880:
We. your Grand Jury, having
been duly empanneled, swora and
charged, with respect offer the fol-
lowing as our final report:
We have had siXtytiye CON.
plants made to us, and we feel
that we have faithfully aud i'm
partially investigated all Of them
except the killing Of Lafayette
Hall by Ambrose Hall. In this
case we summoned the father and
mother Of the deceased, who were
evidently the only Witnesses that
could give testimony in the cage.
Those two people are CID. the faith
er quite afflicted, and 10th lieyaily
ladeE with grietjust at this time,
and your jury thought it would be
inhuman to compe! them to come
before 1t, and for this reason We
have made no special inyestiga-
ton OF that unfortunate affair.
OF the sixty-four complaints that
we did investigate we have indict-
Ell forty, and among these We have
indicted quite uumber fer muir
der and other crimes that we think
are helnous in their nature and
richly deserve not only the con,
demnation Of the pablo but the
most severe penalty that the law
will allow inflicted. It seems
that some Of our people have rath-
er come to the conclusion that if
u person otIends them they have u
right to shoot, cut or knock the
life out Of the offender, even though
he should lie in wait, or go in mob
gangs TO accomplish their desires.
We feel that our character, as :.
lsW abiding and peaceful people,
has been very much stainea by
the atr0cioUs crimes Tia. have
been committed in Cur parish in
the last yesr. 1t looks like per.
sous life is in danger at home, On

of worship, and everywhera else,

Best Way to Copy Drawings.

A new method of copying drawings
tects offices is given in the Deuches
Baumgeperbes Blau. Any kind of opaque
drawing paper in ordinary use may be
employed for this purpose, stretched in
the usual way over the drawing to be
copied or traced. Then by the aid of a
cotton pad the paper is soaked with ben
zine. The pad causes the benzine to en-
ter the pores of the paper, rendering the
paper more transparent than the finest
tracing paper. The most delicate tints
show through the paper so treated, and
may be copied with the greatest ease, for
pencil, India ink or water colors take
equally well on the benzinized surface
The paper is neither creased nor torn, re-
naming whole and supple. Indeed pen
Gil marks and water color tintings last
better upon paper treated in this way
than on any other kind of tracing paper,
the former being rather difficult to re-
move by rubber. When large drawings
are to be dealt with the benzine treat
ment is only applied to parts at time,
thus keeping pace with the rapidity of
advancement with the work. When the
copy is completed the benzine rapidly
evaporates and the paper assumes its orig
inal white and opaque appearance with
out betraying the faintest trace of the
benzine. If it is desired to fix lead pen
Gil marks on ordinary drawing or tracing
paper, this may be done by wetting it
with milk and drying in the air.

Destructive Force in Warfare.

A French officer, in speaking of melin-
tie to representative of the Times, said:
''Or shells for field artillery, as well as
those for our forts and siege guns, are
charged with melinite. What melinite
is we do no not know, and if we knew
we should be very careful not to tell.
Both the Italians and the Germans have
sent spies to discover the secret, and to
offer money for even the smallest frag-
ment, but they have all been captured
All that can be said is that, according
to treatise published in 1882, melinite
is composed of melted picric acid But
in the interval our artilleries have per-
fected the discovery of NJ. Turpin. They
have made melinite a tractable product.
The effects of this explosive were fully de-
monstratedin in some experiments atthe Fort
of Malmaison in 1886. Melinite is so
safe that in three years only one accident
has occurred, that at the arsenel of Bel
fort. One the other hand hundred ac-
cidents have occurred from gelatine
alone in thirty years.
There has never been accident in draw
ing the charges, nor one from bursting
