leaves a husband and little babe to
feel the loss Of wife and mother, and
many Others near friend. Her
patience in her great suffering has
been noted by all who have been near
to her.
Just ten years ago last Friday some
kindhearted and sympathizing minis
ter saw fit to tie a martial knot for
DR.. and Mrs. Newell. Therefore it was
entirely proper Tor large number of
their friends, nearly one hundred, to
assemble at their home last Friday
evening for tirstrate good time. The
doctor and his wife were of course
taken by surprise, as was evidenced
by their immediate and unconditional
surrender. 1t was simply u storming
of the castle without even the warning
of dog bark. Many testimonials of
good will were rendered the host and
and hostess. Well knowing the doc.
tors wife could hardly be prepared
for such u demand upon her culinary
department, the ladies carried good
supply of cakes, etc. Games, music
and dancing, coupled with great soci-
atty made the evening a most enjoy.

Justice M'Leans Prophecy.

New York Mail and Express.
Probably in the whole history of juris-
prudence no two judicial utterances were
ever so widely and so critically read by
the mass of people outside the legal pro-
fession as the opinions of Chief Justice
fancy and Justice John Mclean in the
celebrated bred Scott case, in the Supreme
Court of the United States. The opinion
of the Chief Justice affirmed the divine
right" of the institution of slavery, and
uttered that remarkable obiter dictum that
the negro had no rights which the white
man was bound to respect That of
Justice Mclean sharply dissented, and
with irresistible logic and statesman-like
eloquence, enunciated the doctrine that
slavery was contrary to right. and had its
orig in only In power. Six Justices voted
with fancy, and but one, Justice Curtis,
with Mclean. An outraged public senti-
ment carried the case on appeal to a higher
court, and in that stern and bloody arbi-
trament the decision was reversed, and
Judge McLean's wisdom, courage and
patriotism indicated. That he foresaw
this appeal and looked forward to its
ultimate decision with gloomy forebodings
is evident from a private letter, hitherto
unpublished, written on Christmas Eve,
1COU, JuSU DeIOT6 Un6 outbreak Oh UI6 Wal.
He wrote to friend in Albany:
1.-The public mind is deeply absorbed in
the deplorable condition of our country.
Lately | hear common opinion uttered
that our people are incapable of governing
themselves. There can be no doubt that
the moral basis of govern nent is destroyed,
and beyond this what have we to expect
The English Government has fxedness of
the sovereignty, and when the Ministry
becomes unpopular they resign their
places. They have a limited right of
suffrage, a landed aristocracy, public
debt all binding the nation together.
These give permanency to the government
and strength to withstand demagogy.
''To all human appearances our Govern
ment is to be broken in pieces and fall into
utter ruin. I have feared this for several
years. No free government can long be
maintained without high intelligence and
public virtue. We are, in fact, spectacle
to the nations of the earth, and it is to be
feared that we shall before long become
involved in destructive war. :"
Justice Mclean died soon after, and but
eight days before the first shell broke over
Sumter-too soon to see the actual fulfill
ment of his prophecy of war; but too soon
also, to see a nation emerge triumphantly
from its baptism of blood, and his own
once rejected decision indicated and en-
bodied into the Constitution of the United
States

A Hangman Tried for His Life.
Pail Mall Gazette:

Berlin has Just had most extraordin-
airy sensational trial curious. indeed
almost without parallel, among the records
of crime. The hangman has been accused
of assassination and tried for his life.
Of course it was a question of jealousy.
The Berlin executioner does not lead very
moral life He is married man with a
family, and he deserted both, and the poor
wife soon had a rival. But he also desert
ed the rival in her turn. The dry statistics
of the law courts read like the argument
of some ingenious play. The abandoned
mistress longed to recover her supremacy.
One would not have thought hangman
capable of so much attraction. She tried
every means to gain her coveted object,
and at last in sheer desperation had re-
course to the executioner' assistant and
right hand man, whom she knew and
whose influence over him was. great.
There were interviews between the two
hangmen, but matters did not advance.
Then there was an angry interview at a
restaurant, in the course of which the chief
kicked his aid-de-camp in the stomach.
The injury was more serious than it
seemed. and month afterward the poor
go-between died. All sorts of evidence
was given at the trial, and the jury were
merciful in their verdict. But the criminal
classes of Berlin were greatly disappointed.
1t would have been interesting, they
seemed to have thought, If the new hang
man had to try his prentice hand on his
predecessor.

A NEAR VIEW OF POPE LEO.
He is Said to Have No Peer on Earth With
Whom He Can BE Compared.
Springfield Republican.

When Leo Kill actually came into the
room he was so surrounded by attendants,
and withal so frail-in fact am not sure
he was not carried all the way-that no
one could see more than the top of his
scarlet robes. He was quickly deposited
in his chair, which fortunately had not
been stolen; my six giants vanished like
Macbeth s witches from the head of the
lines of soldiers, the chair was raised aloft
above our heads, and the pope was carried
slowly down through the center of the hail.
The huge fan-like canopy of white ostrich
plumes tipped with scarlet was held above
his head; his robes were of scarlet and
gold, an enormous jewel blazes In the top
of his tiara, several rows of nrecious stones
encircled it, and on one of his slender
fingers was huge gem that seemed quite
too heavy for its wasted strength. How
ever much might have been inclined to
levity in all the proceedings thus far, there
was no excuse for anything but the most
profound respect on beholding the visible
head of the holy Chatholic church All the
photographs | have seen of the pope are
wholly unsatisfactory. They give no in
dication of the moral and spiritual pre-
eminence that are so apparent In the actual
face but rather of shrewdness, keenness and
worldly wisdom Seeing him as we saw
him, it was impossible not to feel that we
were in the presence of one of the remark
able men of the age. | hardly know how
to describe the impression produced. Of
course association is exceedingly powerful.
Of kings and queens there are many In
the world; presidents, princes and poten-
tates are drug; nations are born and die,
conquering one another or falling by their
own weight; but this man, so frail so old,
so strangely earnest and spiritual in ex-
pression-1 have never seen eyes so pen
etrating and at the same time so benig-
nant-has no peer on earth with whom he
can be compared. He is the acknowledge
ed head of the most potent, lasting and
widespread organization for the control of
human affairs, civil and religious, that
the civilized world has ever known; to him,
from every land and nation, from every
tribe and tongue, run lines of information
and influence, as swift, subtle and strong
as human wisdom and faith can make
them In his presence there is no incli-
nation to doubt that he fully believes him
self. what devout Chatholics everywhere
believe him to be, the divinely appointed
vice general of God on earth, invested with
an infallibility that transcends all human
wisdom. and able to determine the destin-
les of men for time and eternity. As he
was borne along through these corridors
densely packed with men and women OF
