Willie Leaphart, a mulatto of Lex
ington, who was convicted at the last
term of the Lexington court OF an
outrageous crime upon a young white
woman, and who was sentenced to be
hanged last Friday, was, upon the
Recommendation of Judge Wallace,
respited last Thursday, until an ap-
peal for new trial could be heard,
an affidavit having been fled which it
is said may change the sentence. The
people Of Lexington were very indig-
nant at the respite, and hastily and
without any inquiry into the cause OF
the respite, held an Indignation meet
ing at which they censured Governor
Richardson very heavily. They after.
wards found out that Gov Richardson
was not only not to blame, but had
done exactly what his duty demanded

painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch IN the life of the individual. Such a
remarkable event is treasured in the memo

has been attained is gratefully blessed.

of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health, to tho use of the

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
MRS. S. A. NETTLES.

A NEAT HMR-P1S CUsH1oN.-Any
pretty little basket can be used for
this purpose. It may be left in its
natural color, or be gildea. A couple
of coats of green bronzing looks
well. The top is fitted with a cover
knitted of scarlet split zephyr. Upon
ordinary-sized steel needles set up
twenty-five stitches, knit the first row
and every alternate one plain, the in
tervening one by winding the zephyr
around the first finger and needle
four times, and knit it in as if it were
one stitch; the first and last stitch of
these rows should be knit plain.
When the piece becomes square bind
it off. Take of scarlet satin ribbon
seven pieces three inches long and
turn the two lower corners back 50 as
to form point. These have small
brass bell attached, and are then
sewed around the edge of the basket,
laying little plait in each as they are
sewed on. Fill the basket with curled
hair, and tuck the cover over and in
around the edges.
How TO KEEP FR1ESD.-Ifyou want
to keep a friend don't get too intimate
with her.
Have your own thoughts and per-
noit har To hove hers
Do not demand too much of hel in
the way of confidence.
And do not be too aggressive, want
ing to know why she hasn't done this,
and why she doesn't think as you do.
If you think your friends style of
dress is not beautiful, don't tell her;
you only offend her, because deep in
her heart she is convinced that she
knows great deal more about it than
you do.
Do not find fault with your friends
friend, and do not expect to be the
only one given corner in her heart.
Be as considerate of her feelings as
if she were a stranger, and remember
that politenessis is an everyday garment,
and not one intended only for bigh
days and holidays. To sum it up in
one sentence, preserve the courtesy
of the beginning if you wish to keep
your friendship to the end.-Ladies'
Home Journal.
