Worked His Own Way Up.

John A. Howard, the young Prosecute
ing Attorney at Wheeling opened the
argument in the case against DR.. CARR
son yesterday with a speech of five
hours, in which he acquitted himself
with great credit and impressed upon
the jury in u very forcible way their
great reSponSibly in weighing the evil
dence and the law and not to be
Swerved from duty by the powers of
persuasion or pleas for sympathy for
the accused. He made a mastery ar
gument against a man who had been his
personal friend, and he presented the
law and the evidence in such telling
shape as to affect the jury and distract
the counsel for the defense. Mr..
Howard was a glaSsworker and has
worked his own way up TO credit and
distinction in the legal profession. He
has many admirers in this city. -Belldire

TIE LAST SLAVERY.
Curious Document Discovered in the
Princeton (Ky.) Court Records.

PRINCETON, KY, May 24.-William
Marble, prominent lawyer, in looking
over old records to get some facts bear
ing on a case now pending, discovered
a remarkable document. 1t is a judg-
ment order for the sale of slaves and
rendered in a suit bought by I. w.
Pickering, administrator, for the settle
ment of the estate of General William
Washington, deceased, and dated De-
cember Q, 1885. On December Is, 1866,
Just nine days after this Judgment was
rendered, the proclamation by the Sec
rotary of State declaring that three
fourths of the States had ratified the
thirteenth amendment, aboliShing slav-
cry, was published and all slaves were
free.
In all probability this was the last
judgment rendered by any court in the
United States for the sale of slaves.
The judgment is IN the handwriting OF
Mr.. c. II. Letter, now living at Sanford,
Fla, and was dictated by 5. Marble,
then a prominent member of the bar,
but who has since died. II. w. Picker
ing, administrator, was Sheriff then
and his son, r. +. Pickering, is the
present Sheriff.
The sale never took place as the
slaves were legally free before the sale
could be effected as is shown by the
commissioners report.

While Stanley was in ZenZbar, after
his return with Emin PaSha from Cen
tral Africa, he one evening witnessed
the performance of u HindOO juggler in
what is known as the mango trick. TAX
ing pot of earth, the juggler plants in
il the seed OF a mango, and then begins
playing on flute while the spectators
watch and wait. Presently the earth
cracks, the young plant rises from the
pot. minute by minute it grows, buds,
blossoms, bears fruit. the fruit
ripenS, aud is cut off and hand
ed TO the spectators, all in the
space OF an hour or so. Stanley looked
on in silence, aud, as the party broke
up. he said: what pity that it is all
a trick aud not really the work of ma
ture. II nature could do that, or any
thing approaching it, the problem Of
exploration in Africa and Australia
would be solved at once. The great diff
iculty in an exploration, in Africa eS-
pecially, is 20 feed the men of the eXpe-
ditiOn. A small force that can live upon
the country is not sufficient 10 resist OPP
position, and large force can not find
enough 20 live upon. That is why my
people suffered so from starvation, and
why so many lives have been lost in
various expeditions. The man who
will discover plant that produces
nutritious food within a few hours or
days OF the time the seed is placed in
the ground will solve the problem, and
confer a great boon upon his fellow men.
The explorer would start with good
stock of seeds. and his expedition, by
hating at the necessary period, from

time to time, would supply itself with
food, and be independent of the re-
sources of the country" Here is Some-
thing for science to consider, and, eS-
pecially, the branch of it directed to
the development of food vegetables.
The settlement of new countries. as
we'll as the exploration of unknown
lands, would be greatly aided by a dis
covery such as is indicated, and it would
be by no means without its uses in older
regions.
