Mississippi's Opportunity.

SlugSler Jno. L. Sullivan has been ar
rested in New York on 4 warrant issued
by Governor Hill in obedience to a re-
QUESTION from Governor Lowry of Mis-
Sissippi, and it is fair to presume that
he will be remanded and tried and pun
ishcd IN Mississippi.
This is a rare opportunity for the
State of Mississippi to vindcatc her own
dignity and authority and give q death
blow to the brutal prize ring by the
prompt conviction and punishment of
Sullivan. If Sullivan, Kilraln and their
immediate trainers and hackers were
convicted, sentenced to the imprison-
ment fixed as the penalty and hired ont
in prison stripes with the other convicts
to work on public improvements for (;
wear, it would do more to end the prize
lighting than thousands of moral lessons
from the pulpit and press.
The fact that prize-fighters and their
brutal surroundings select Southern
State for great battle is IN itself re-
proach upon the State that should be
resented to the utmost; and now is Mis-
sissippi's opportunity to assert her dig
nifty and majesty of her laws and to end
the prize-ring in the country. Let the
treatment of Sluggcrs be short. sharp
and ddccisive.-PHilddelpItin Times.

Sergeant Rogers went up to the Office

the Inspector without much urging.
He was engaged in the iron business,
outside of his connection with the COM

some inventions-one of "a patent, fire

became embarrassed and to relieve hlnl-
self took blank certificates of the rail
road stock, filed them out with his own
name, or that of some other person. and
hypothecated the bogus shares in various
banks. He thinks he has scattered 700
shares or so about in that way and bor-
rowed about s125, 900 or $4,000. Only
half of these shares and their innocent
holders have. been placed so far.
The directors request everystockholder
of the company to have his stock verified
at the Office without delay, that the full
extent of the fraud may be known.
Allen repeated his confession to the
directors in Inspector Byrnes's office
later in the afternoon. He has been
twenty-five years with the company as
treasurer and president.

A curious feature Of the escape of the
Black Diamond is found to be that two
years ago precisely the same operation,
under the same circumstances, was
successfully practiced upon the same
government vessel, the Richard RuSh,
by sealing schooner from the same
port, Victoria, which was also the pro-
perty, it is said, of those who own the
Black Diamond. In that case the Alfred
Adams, having been overhauled by the
Rush, had been ordered to Sitka, and
two men were put aboard as a prize
crew; but instead of going to Sitka she
quietly returned to her home port, the
prize crew. submitting with such
grace as was possible. The reason why
this incident attracted so little attcn-
ton at the time was perhaps that it
occurred near the end of the sealing
season of 1887, when also the capture of
about dozen other sealcrs by the Rush
made that capture appear of less con-
sequence. Its repetition, however, has
now occurred in the very first seizure of
the season; and since during last year
arrests were not made, there is a fair
chance that the disobedience of captive
vessels in brtaking themselves else
where, instead Of submissivcly repair
ing TO Sitka for fine, Imprisonment
and ccnsiSc:tlon, Will become the regular
practice, provided the Rush continues to
be as frugal as now in the size Of her
prize crews.-Neec York Times.

sary to Social Harmony.
In arranging their methods of living and
social intercourse men are striving to so re-
press and regulate their baser lives as to
make them of as little prominence as posi-
BILE, and offend in the least degree the finer
sensibilities. It is desirable to make the
service and eating of meals not mere
feeding to which we shall go with dread
and from which we shall come with dis
gust, and, if possible, not only inoffensive,
but positive source Of refined pleasure.
Hence have grown up these little laws and
customs which have excited the contempt
of our thoughtless friends. If it offends my
neighbors to see me shovel my food into my
mouth with knife, will learn to use my
fork, even il do not at first feel that
there is sufficient ground for his feeling.
He will doubtless reciprocate by refraining
from dipping his fingers into certain arti
cles of food which it distresses me to see
eaten that way. And so we shall establish.
8 little code of forbearance, desiring to give
che least possible offense to each other, and
this will grow, as others come into our cir

Is much easier and better for US to subscribe
to and observe these little things, even
when they appear to us unnecessary and
even silly, than to go on in a course that we
can not help seeing is offensive to our

dry Counties killed a large rattlesnake,
and just as he did so the Savannah,
Amerlcus and Montgomery train rolled
into the station. He noticed that his
father, who was 4 passenger, had
bottle of brandy, and he wanted some
of it. SO he got the rattler, took MS

and ran to the father, eNcla!mnS: ''Sce

and then sent for 4 doctor. The boy
w;,s soon stupidity drunk, and when the
doctor arrived he looked at the wounded
hand, then at the dead snake. and qui-

Why, its deep cash, and cut with 4

sermon:
It seems as If Mount Olivet were un-
moored. The people have gone into the
mountain, and have cut off tree branches,
and put them on their shoulders, and they
come forth now into the streets of Jerusa-

these tree branches into ar6ors and booths.

There is no use in our driving our stakes
too deep into the earth; we are on the march.
The generations that have preceded US have
gone so far on that we can not even hear the

nlc. American witnesses testified that
he was in the habit of taking the drug
for malarial disorders us far back as
1877. He had been seen to put arsenic
powders in beef tea-the same nourish-
ment which his wife was accused Of
tampering with. A London druggist
had frequently provided him with
''pick-me-ups, " in which arsenic was in
ingredient. An ex-Mayor of Liverpool
repeated in court a conversation IN
which Mr.. Maybrick had admitted two
months before his death that he was in
the habit of taking poisonous remedies
habitually All these details created
reasonable grounds for the presumption
that the arsenic found in his body had
been administered, especially when
experts asserted that months would be
required for its elimination from the
system if taken only twice in small
quantities. At the same time the de-
fense produced medical testimony to the
effect that death had not resulted from
arsenic, but from natural causes, thereby
counteracting the expert evidence for
the prosecution.
The delicate task of explaining away
the arsenic stains or Mrs. Maybrick'S
clothing and toilet stand and of account
ing for the mysterious powder which
she administered with the beef tea still
remained. Sir Charles Russell obtained
permission from the court to Introduce
a written statement read by the prisoner
herself. In this she admitted having
habitually used a face wash containing
arsenic, and having brought and soaked
fly paper in order to obtain 4 substitute
for Il favorite American prescription:
As this improviSed cosmetic was applied
with a handkerchief, the stains on her
clothing and toilet articles which the
analyst had identified were plausibly
accounted for As for the powder mixed
with the nourishment, she asserted that
her husband had begged her to let him
have it in that way; that She had
yielded to his opportunities when he
assured her that it was harmless; and
that she had prepared it for him, but on
finding him asleep, when she returned
to the bedside had not gwen it to him.
lulclSlCc " VeollC't
the jury to draw from this recital was
that Mr.. Maybrick had called for one OF
the arsenic powders which he was in the
habit of taking as cure-all, and that
his wife was ignorant of the real char
acterof the dose This presumption was
strengthened by the fact that she left
the bottle on the table wher. it was
found after her husbands death. To
these explanations was added, un-
doubtly at the suggestion of Sir Charles
Russell. distinct statement that before
her husbands death she had confessed
her unfaithfulneSs to him and had re.
ceived his forgiveness for the wrongs
which she had done With this aston
ishing revelation of the amenities of
married life the wretched woman sank
into her chair and listened with a
blanched face to the eloquent plea made
for her innocence by her counsel. Ac-
cording to the first report by cable the
Judges charge to the jury, which was
given yesterday, was favorable to the.
accused, but our dispatches this after
noon indicate just the reverse.
