Turning Points

John Campbell Sharp, afterward Princi-
pal Sharp, went up to Balliol college, at
Oxford, with strong body well trained
to athletic sports, and a strong in
tellect well trained also in its wav.
He was resolved 70 succeed as & schol-
ar. and worked hard for a month, re-
fusing all invitations TO ride and even 10
play his favorite game of cricket, though
the thud of the ball On the bat made his
heart beat madly.
But the longings of the flesh, or rather
the muscles, proved too much for him. He
hired horse one day and rode 10 hunt.
The next day there was tap at his door.
and upon opening it he found waiting out
side the chiefs Of the athletic club at Bal
liol. jolly, friendly fellows, well born and
well bred.

day. As good a bit Of riding as ever I

Sharp eagerly welcomed his visitors.
There was a freemasOnry between him and
them. They loved horses, dogs, cricket,

OF ell the days in the year there seems
20 be none less fitted for calamity than
Thanksgiving day, aud yet that Was the
very one which Tommy Wentworth chose
for falling from the high NOW and almost
breaking his neck. He was picked up un-
conscious from the shock, and yet safe and
sound
Uncle John carried him into the house.
and Aunt Sarah postponed basting the
turkey for an indefinite period, while she
rubbed him in arnica and held the smell
ing salts TO his nostrils. Then, when he did
come to- how the old people rejoiced, and
the frightened cousins, standing about ST.
lent with awe, went whooping out to play.
In his prayer, before saying grace that
noon, Uncle John offered fervent thanks
giving that the little boy had suffered no
serious harm. His voice trembled and
grew husky as he proceeded, and Aunt
Mary put up her handkerchief and wiped
away two big tears triekling down her
cheeks. But Aunt Mary was a practical
woman, and one, moreover, who was prone
to say unexpected things at any moment
when they happened TO occur to her.
Amen" said Uncle John, and then
Aunt Mary opened her eyes. and appar-
emily dismissed for the present all dismal
possibilities.
"Well, Tommy" sad she briskly,
there's one thing Pm thankful for-that
them nice new pants of yours didn't get
rip or a stain when you fell"
Then she wondered why everybody
laughed, and why she was thereafter &C
cused of loving little Tommy's trousers
more than little Tommy himself.-Youtb's

CONDEMNED FOR TREASON.
The Only Trial and Conviction for tn,
Ofense Ia New Mexico.

The Only Trial and Conviction for the
OfTeuse Ia New Mexico.
The records of the courts of Santa Fo
contain the history OF p remarkable case.
They show that in the year 1897 man was
indicted, tried, found guilty and sentenced
to be executed for the crime of treason
against the government of the United
States. 1t is said 10 be the only instance
during the existence of the government
where the civil courts have tried and con-
victed person for that high crime.
At that date this territory had only been
under the control of the United States for
a few months, and congress had not Yet
organized civil government. bIt the coun-
try was governed by code of laws pro-
mulgated by Gen. Kearny, who, in COM
mand of the American forces, took pos
session Of the territory in August, 1876.
The trial referred to took place before
Jacob Houghton, chief justice of the terri
tory, and who was appointed by Gen.
hearny The indictment was returned
March 9, ls47. and was signed by r. Camp
bell as foreman Of the grand jury. and
Frank =. Blair, Jr., as United states attor-
ney. James GiddiDgs was clerk OF the
court.
The defendant was Antonio Maria Tru-
lillo. and it was charged in the indictment
that he, with others. in the territory Of
New Mexico, with force and arms, and be-
ing armed with weapons, maliciOusly and
traitorously made war upon the United
States and tried TO destroy the constitution
and United States government.
II appears that about the beginning Of
the year 1877 an inconsiderable number Of
MeXicans formed the idea that the govern
ment Of the United States was petty in
stitution, and that they would drive the
Americans (Gringosl out Of the territory
and restore it TO Old Mexico, and their
efforts resulted in a number Of them being
indicted for treason and the trial OF the
case above referred to.
The sentence of Judge HouChton that
was passed upon the prisoner is in the fol-
lowing words: Antonio Maria Truiillo.

Mrs. Stanley.

Mrs. Stanley is unlike any one know;
she is quite herself. In the first place,
she is tall, much taller than American
women grow as rule, but she carries
her, inches well, and you tvould not sus-
pect her height unless you stood by her.
Her features are regular and are more
STIR king in profile than in full face, and
she has quantity Of dry brown hair
that seems TO be flying loosely about her
head, though it is held well together
with unseen pins. Her house gowns are
what we call aesthetic" for want of a
better word. They, at least those that
/ saw, are made of soft clinging stuffs,
and the collar, that lies fat about her
neck, is made of the same material
She is a bright conversational with
out trying to be, and a very enthusiastic
sdmirer of Mr.. Stanley. Nothing ap-
Rarently makes her happier than to be
doing something for him. She told me
with great glee the other day that he
found that she could answer some Of his
letters as well as he could himself.
About her own work she is very modest,
and yet there is no artist in all England
who better depicts the life of children
than she does.-New York Letter.

At Old Trinity.


Trinity college is the largest. and has
between 700 and 500 students. I must
write word about the wife Of the mas
ter Of Trinity-Mrs. Butler, formerly
Miss Ramsey. You remember perhaps
that three years ago there was so much
excitement because she was senior clas-
sic. The queen sent for her, and she
was feted everywhere. She was the
daughter Of Sir George Ramsey, OF Scot
land, fine classical scholar, and soon
afterward married DR.. Butler. But you
can hardly know what this means till
you know the position Of tho master OF
Trinity. He is q king in Cambridge.
He represents the hospitality OF the whols
university and has a salary commen-
surate TO his duties. The queen has
