A Girl Preacher.

FALMOUTH, XIV, Jan. 22.-Mary Sc
mons, 10 years of age, has delivered four
sermons in this place and is becoming
quite popular as a preacher. She has a
good voice and splendid delivery for one
so young. Mary is the daughter of a
well TODD farmer, who lives about four
miles from this place. From infancy she
displayed unusual brightness. About
eight months ago she Joined the Baptist
church here and said the Lord had called
upon her to preach. She first addressed
a small congregation at her fathers house
and succeeded so well that she spoke next
in a church near by. The little girl soon
had a reputation throughout this and
ncIghboring counties. After several
months in the country she preached here
and her success was greater than it was in
the rural districts. Under her ministry
several persons Joined the church. Mary
is rather small for her years, has sharp
features, black eyes and hair, and is very
intelligent. She will continue her serv-
ices here for several weeks and then she
will 60 to the larger Kentucky towns.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-Some time
was consumed in the endeavor by Crisp of
Georgia to secure action on the contested
election case of Smalls VS.. Elliott. The
house refused to consider it. After delay
of half an hour, caused by flibustering by
Cheadle Of Indiana, the house went into
committee of the whole on the river aud

Alter some flibustering, McAdoo of
New Jersey moved to strike out the ap
preparation Tor the improvement of All

other Improvements talked in a desultory
way for some time and McAdoo's mo
ton was lost and the house soon adj

ANOTHER FLAG SUGGESTION.
Pennsylvania Thinks He Has Hit Upon the
Right Plan for Placing the New Stars.

HAMBURG, Pa. July 10.-Charles Miesse,
of this place. has made suggestion in
reference to the position of the forty-two
stars in the blue field of the American flag
which is very simple, and which he will
send to President Harrison. 1t is very sim
pie when explained. and the wondor is that
1T was not thought of long ago. The forty
two stars are arranged as follows: There
IS circle of twelve stars, and upon the
circumference of this there rests six points
of five stars each. the whole making.a
beautiful and symmetrical six-pointd
star.
In explanation of his design, Mr.. Miesse
said to reporter: ITO me it ever appeared
senseless In placing the stars of that flag
so sacred TO the eyes of mankind-in a
meaningless manner upon the blue ground
Outside of their authorized meaning they
In their arrangement simply express moth
ing. l have designed one star made of
many-one government of many. or many

because it is a unit. bound and complete. 1t
is that which constitutes the foundation of
government. 1t may. therefore, be taken
as the emblem of our Constitution, upon
which the United States are built.
THAT field of blue within the circle is
the emblem of our territory not yet admit
ted into States, but giving it or them a
place on tne flag; and as the future admits
and they are admitted it shows where they
are 10 be placed. while in the interim they
are surrounded within the keeping and pro-
lection of the constituted States and when

their stars, and thus become one of and in

assembled on Monday to pass sentence
Wilson's attorney made plea for a new
trial, and in passing an opinion upon that
plea Judge O'Hara caused intense excite
ment aud surprise by declaring that, al
though the man had been pronounced
guilty by the jurors, there was not suffi-
cicnt evidence. The Judge then added to
the excitement by overruling the plea for
a new trial, and sentencing the prisoner to
ten years in the penitentiary.
Wilson was about to sit down, over
whelmed. when the court bade him wait,
and reiterated his declaration that he be-
lleved in the mans innocence. and said he

carry his case To the Supreme Court. The
