Hnrner,s Young PeopIe.

William 7. Hornaday will contribute to
Harper's Young People for March 81 the
first instalment Of a short series OF prac-
teal papers on taxidermy. In introduce
ing himself to his young readers he
savs:-'"To the ardent lover of animated
nature there are in taxidermy a charm
and fascination that are irresistible, and
/ can tell you the whole secret of it. Il is
the joy of creative power, Of the posses
sion OF the ability to recreate a beauti-
full form and preserve it forever. When
you are able TO take the lifeless body of a
beautiful bird and make it live again in
everything save the vital spark, when its
beauties take shape one by n under
your skilful fingers, then will you share
the spirit that animates the sculptor and
painter, who put life and action into cold
marble and dead colors. Come with me a
while and be a preserver instead of a de-
stroyer. The results of your labors will
be permanent, instructive and beneficial
TO those around YOU"

CAMDEN, March 81. 1s91.-Comment on
the verdict of the jury in the Miller muir
der trial has to some extent cleared, and
the tide of conversation is now on the
prospects for a new trial for the convicted
negro.
Lingo has improved within the past
few days, and he now appears to be
buoyed up with the hope of a new trial
and a second chance for his life. His
has decreased considerably,
and he is again beginning to assume his
old-time calm demeanor. He has little to
say, excepting when he is questioned,
and then much of the time only answers
questions in monosyllables.
u is understood that his counsel, Judge
Wescott and George Taylor, will argue
for a new trial on the ground of levitY
among the jurors and prejudice by some
of the jurors against Lingo. owing to his
past black record. One of the points
that OF leyity-it is said, is that one of the
jurors, Jacob Fish. practiced turning
somersaults in the room at the West Jer-
sey Hotel while they were debating on
the testimony adduced at the trial. The
counsel claim that they have proofs
of other kinds of levlty, and
also that one Of the jurors said he
would like to get the jury TO hang the
. niger" 1t is also said they will
argue that prejudice had much to do
with forming the verdict. IL is also as
serted that daily papers got ntothe hands
of the jurors, and that they read the COM
ment in those papers In connection with
the trial. and the probable guilt of Lingo.
Another point IS. that two Of the jury.
men said they were in favor OF acquittal
when they first went out, and these and
many other things will be urged as suffi-
cient grounds for setting aside the YER
dict and granting a new trial

Stewart l.. woodford's Shocking
Speech.

Ia. hOOufOfus
Speech.
Stewart L. Woodford of Brooklyn
made a disgraceful speech before the
Union League Club of this city last
night, and there was not one person
present who was man enough to stand
up and rebuke him for his atrocious
u~tterances.
Here is just one sentence from his
speech
Try parties by their test and Lincoln and
Grant were Republicans, Try parties by thsir
test and Benedict Arnold and Jefferson Davis
were Democrats every time.
No matter who or what he may be
in wealth, in social position or in Off
cial station. the man who uttered
these words is a slanderous ruffian.
We are ashamed that men who ar 9
supposed to be Of the flower of our
citizens should tacitly approve so
monstrous a declaration. Had it been
uttered before a rabble at a campaign
meeting, we might not wonder at its
passing without being resented. But
the Union League Club is composed of
gentlemen, Of professional men, ofmen
Of thought and experience, of men
who have read history and who are
not TO be carried away by a violent
phrase because it rings in
the ear with a metallic clink.
Therefore we are amazed and grieved
beyond words, that there was not
some fitting show of resentment
against this hideous insult to
than half the citizens of the United
States, this insult to the memories of
Mcclellan, Of Hancock, Of the tens of
thousands Of Democratic soldiers of
every rank whose blood soaks
the battle fields of the South, this
insult to the memory of Joel Parker,
Of Horatio Seymour and the millions
of loyal Democrats of the North, this
wanton, ~cowardly, brutal insult to
the party which in three out of the
four last Presidential campaigns has
cast a majority of the vote Of the en-
tire country.
We would not have easily believed
partisanship would have gone to such
a length, and we sincerely hope that
it was only a regard for hospitality,
General Woodford being the guest Of
the Club, which prevented the entire
gathering from Withdrawing from the
room. In our judgment, when Wood
ford violated the hospitality of the
clubhouse by making it the scene of
such ribald abuse, he deserved no
consideration whatever at the hands
of the members.
