The prisoners stood up. and Just as
the judge pronounced the last words of
the sentence, the wife of Mr. Peters
uttered shout, and bounding toward
the door, threw her arms around a
man who had just entered the court
room. A wild commotion followed.

Some Census Probabilities.

tits estimated, on the basis ofelec-
ton returns, that the census this
year will show that the population
of Indiana has increased from / $751;
sol in 1880 to 2,4OO, 900, and like
estimates in other states give the
country a total population of 3d.
761. 500, against 50,155, 7S3 ten
years ago In the southern states
the increase is figured at about 81
100000. Under the new apportion-
ment the presidential electors in
1892 will probably number $50,
against 4O1 at the last two elections.
The gain of electors in the different
states will probably be: Alabama 2,
Arkansas 2, California /, Colorado /,
Georgia 2, Indiana 1, Iowa /, Kan
sas 2, Kentucky /, Louisiana /,
Maryland 1, Minnesota3, Mississippi
i, Missouri 4, Nebraska 3, New Jer-e
sey /. New York 1, North Carolina
2, Ohio 2, Pennsylvania 1, Texas 2,
and Wisconsin /. The four new
states will probably have IA elector-
al votes, distributed as follows:
South Dakota 4, Washington A.
Montana 3, and North Dakota B..
According to the vote of 1883, add.
ing Montana, the democratic elector-
al vote would be increased from 16S
to 1S9, and the republican adding
the Dakotas and Washington, from
219 to 246, giving the latter a net
gain of z. Maine is the only state in
the union which is likely to lose. In
1870 it had Z electoral votes, in
1880 it had 6, and after this year it
will probably have only s.. Accord
ing to sectional divisions the south
will gain II electors, the west %,
the middle states 3, and New Eng
land will lose Indianapolis News.

coat was found near the river bank,
Marks OF Struggle were also discov-
cred. Immediately there arose a cry
that the man had been murdered; and,
about this time, there came along a
reputable citizen who declared that he
had. several days before, heard Sam
White and Al Miller swear that they
would kill Peters. The two men were
arrested and taken before a justice Of
the peace. They avowed their inno-
cence, and their lawyer declared that
they could not be held for the murder
| until it was proven that murder had
been committed. This proof was not
long wanting, for a fisherman soon ar
rived with the information that he had
found the body of Peters. The body
was identified, and the preliminary
trial proceeded, resulting not only in
establishing the fact that White and
Miller sWore that they would kill
Peters, but that they were overheard
to declare that they would drown him.
They were held over and indicted by
the grand jury.
When the case came UP before Judge
Quirk of the circuit court. of the
Hickory Flat circuit, some of the ablest
lawyers in the state were in attend
ance, for White and Miller were not
friendless, and, moreover, they were
not without means.
After more than a week of 'sskir-
mishing a jury was impaneled, and
| then the great trial was begun. The
majority of the people, including the
press. a four-column folio set in smal IL
plea and printed in the back, room Of
f. b. Whitson's crossroads store, be-
lieved that a verdict of guilty would be
rendered, and bets were made with
persons who believed that the prison
srs were guilty, but who thought that
the jury might be ''culvered. .
The trial had not proceeded far when
it could be clearly seen that the Judge
was convinced that White and Miller
were guilty. This jurist was some
ching more than a peculiar old fellow.
He was a decided character, and so
set were his opinions when once form
ed that no argument and no proof
could change them.
Gentlemen of the Jury" said til e
judge when all the testimony had been
heard, Il don't think it is necessary
to go into an argument concerning
this case. The guilt of these men is so
clear that it would be criminal act to
waste the county's money in prolong-
ing this trial. Now, prisoners, the
best thing you can do is to- confess
your guilt and throw yourself upon the
mercy of this court Have you any
confession to make, Mr.. White?"

None, except to say that I had

Falling in Love.

''Falling in love, as modern BIZ
ology teaches us to believe, is moth
ing more than the latest, highest,
and most involved republication
in the human race of that almost
universal selectiye process which Mr..
Darwin has enabled us to recognize
throughout the whole long series Of
the animal kingdom. The butterfly
that circles and eddies in his
aerial dance around his observant
mate is endeavoring to charm her
by the delieacy of his covering and
to overcome her coyness by the dis
play of his skill. The peacock that
struts about in imperial pride, un-
der the eye Of his attentive hens, is
really contributing to the future
beauty and strength of his race by
collecting to himself a harem,
through whom he hands down to
posterity the valuable qualities
which have gained the admiration of
his mates in his own person.
Mr.. Wallace has shown that to be
beautiful is to be efficient; and sexu-
al selection is thus as it were, a mere
lateral form of natural selection-a
survival of the fttest in the guise Of
mutual attractiveness and mutual
adaptability, producing on the aver
age maximum of the best proper
ties OF the race in the resulting off
spring. ] must not dwell here upon
this aspect of the case, because it is
one with which, since the publication
of the s'Decent Man." all the world
has been sufficiently familiar. Grant

When the Sun Goes Down.

Though the morning may be dreary
And the day be long and weary,
Though the clouds may darkly lower
And the tempest fercely frown,
We shall quite forget the shadows
That have fingered in the meadows
It there be golden hour
When the sun goes down.
What though fate our hope opposes.
What though thorns shut out the roses.
And the cross is borne in sorrow
That we carry to the crown.
BY and by We'll cease to wander
And We'll rest forever yonder.

When life's sun goes down.
