mrs. Maybrlck's Friends.

NEW YORK, Aug. ia special from
London to the Herald, singed by "a Member
of Parliament" says that no decision has
yet been arrived at by the Home Secretary
In regard to the sentence passed upon Mrs.
Maybrick.
1t may safely be said that the course taken
by some of Mrs. Maybrick's friends is calcu-
lated to do her more harm than good. On
the other hand, the facts and arguments put
forward by others were entitled to due
weight, and doubtless they have had it. I'm
less some new phase of the case should oc-
cur, adverse to Mrs. Maybrick, which Is
hardly probable. her life is nearly certain to
be spared.
AT the same time, it is felt by many that
the institution of trial by jury. supposed to
be the "palladium of British liberties" will
have received another severe blow by rever
sal of the verdict. Success in this case will
ever a person is convicted of murder, who
was not actually seen to strike the fatal
blow or mix the deadly draught. No one will
be so anxious to have court Of appeal es-
tablisbed as the home secretary.

From Cradle TO Coffin.

We rock the cradle gayly, and swing 1t to
and fro.
a new life sleeps within it. In tender tones
and low,
A mother soothes to slumber, in love notes soft
and mild,
While held in sleep and safety there rests an
eurth-bOrn child,
As we rock the cradle gayly.
We lay aside the cradle, the bird its nest
has flown,
And spread its pinicAs boldly to make its way
alone;
To fy, t fall in sorrow. or rise and keep its
way,
Mid tolls temptations, triumphs, fair fruit
age of life's day,
AS we lay aside the cradle.
We bend above the coffin, another soul has
fed:
The earthly fight is over, is won or lost, or
dead.
The babe who in the cradle first knew OF
earthly strife
And there, with hands close folded, lies all
we know OF life,
As we bend above the coffin.

to the effect that Dakota exper-
fenced its heaviest snow fall of the
winter last week" To those of us
living in this part of Dakota this
was a piece of weather intelligence,
indeed. For the last three weeks
farmers have been busy in the fields,
a great many having done putting
in wheat. Eastern editors should
specify locally in giving information
of this kind Up to date we have
had but six weeks of winter weather
the past season. All that South
Dakota needs to make it all that
one could desire is a larger rain fall.
