womanIs courage rose to meet the emer-

There was q stand of carriages In

and engaged the first one.

driver.
"To Mrs. Phoebe Towards No. 345

"Wait one moment. ave forgot

frowned and reflected and reflected and
frowned, but In vain; the name of Mrs.
Towards street was not forthcoming.
The hackman held the door of the car
riage open and waited for the inspira-
ton to come. The more she thought
the more confused she grew. She
turned red and pale By turns. Passers-
by began to look curiously at her. One
elderly man with gray hair and blue
cravat fingered slightly. The hack
man whistled under his breath.

a directory"
The hackman looked after her for a
moment, and then slammed the door
and remounted the box.
There was a drug store near by,
where she found directory. Several
young men were in the shop drinking
mineral waters. They looked at her
rather too steadily. Bessie turned the
directory leaves with most confusing
uncertainty about what was on them,
but with burning consciousness of be-
ing stared at. "Come, McFadden,

be late. Come"
mo, thanks" returned the other,
''not while I have picture to my lik-

Bessie's eyes were filling. The haws
and huns were dancing about inextri'

"Oh, if / were only ct home, safe
with Hattie" thought the poor child.
What shall l dol If Mr.. Lawson, even

With the thought, 10! Mr.. Lawson
stood beside her.

All this was poured out rapidly. Bes-

She explained the difficulty, he found
the address in twinkling, and Bessie
was once more installed in the carriage

After they had gone short distance
he said: "You have never asked aftel

"Oh, my trunk-I forgot It'll Where
will it go?"
Probably my cousin, Bess Lawson

Then Robert Lawson, seeing how EN-

Capital" thought Miss Elizabeth
Lawson, as she read her cousins letter.
"What fun! I'm not the least afraid OF
missing him. But the pink ribbon Will
be a variation on the usual order OF
things"
So she carefully bestowed in the cor
mer of her traveling-bag a coquettish
knot of pink ribbon, to be
pinned on her sleeve when
She should near Chicago. Certainly,
it was an important matter, this
guardianship of wandering young
women. Witness this other letter, re-
ceived few days later. not in Lincoln,
where Miss Lawson received hers, but
on the platform of a rural railway sta
ton, where two girls, one of them IN

down, waiting for the train:

PARLOR THEATRICALS.

Misses Mary and Corlnne lamar en-
tertained a number of their young
friends on Tuesday evening, the special
feature of the occasion being the pro-
duction of parlor comedy entitled the
Jack Trust" in which the young
amateurs acquitted themselves most
creiitably. The name of the comedy
does not by any means suggest its
character, the point of the play being
the combination or Trust formed by two
young ladies to ertyap Lord Jack Townly
into an engagement of marriage, who
although married man had the weak
ness of making love to every pretty girl
he met, and whose tlirtations were
watched with some interest by his wife
disguised as old Mrs. Boothby. The
cast of the farce was as follows

Drunkenness Jud icialIy COnsid-
cred

Not only does the drunkard draw upon
himself many diseases, of body and
mind, bat if in his intoxication, he COM
mits any crime or misiemeauor. he be-
comes like other subjects amenable to
the pains of law. In this respect he is
indeed worse off than sober persons, for
drunkenness, far from palliating, is held
to aggravate every offence the law does
not regard it as any extenuation of
crime. "a drunkard" says Sir Edward
Coke, who is C0luntdrlus demon, hath
no privilege thereby, but what hurt or
i'll soever he doth, his drunkenness doth
aggravate it,"
1t is maxim in legal practice, that
those who presume to commit crimes
when drunk, must submit to punish
ment when sober" This state of this
law is not peculiar to modern times. In
ancient Greece it was decreed by PIttacus,
that ne who committed crime when
intoxicated should receive a double
punishment namely, Que for the crime
he had committed, and the other for the
ebrety which prompted him to commit
it. The Athenians not only punished
offences done in drunkenness with in
creased severity, but by an enactment Of
Scion, intoxication in a magistrate was
made capital.
A bond signed in fit of intoxication
holds in law and is perfectly binding,
unless it can be shown that the person
who signed it was iuebriated by the COL
fusion or continuance of those to whom
this bond was given A Judge or Magis-
trate found drunk upon the bench, is
liable to removal from his office ; and de-
cisions pronounced by him in that state,
are held To be null and void.
1t thus appears that the laws of both
England and Scotland agree in consider
ing drunkenness no palliation of crimes,
but rather the reverse and it is well
that 1t is so, seeing that ebriety could be
easily counterfeited and made a cloak
for the commission of atrocious offences.
There is only one case in which drunk
ness can ever be alleged in mitigation of
punishment-that is when it has pro-
duced state of mind perfectly akin to
insanity"
1t is in part one of the common causes
OF that disease. The partition line be.
tween intoxication and insanity may
hence become a subject of discussion.
William McDoncugh was tried before
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, for
the murder of his wife in 1917. II APP
peared in testimony, that several years
previous he had received a severe injury
OF the head. that although relieved of
this yet its effects was such as occasionally
to render him insane. At these periods
he complained greatly of his head. The
use of sPirituous liquors Immediately in
duced areturn of the paroxysm, and in
one of them thus induced, he murdered
his wife. He was with great proprety
found guilty. The voluntary use of a
stimulus, which he was fully aware,
would disorder lis mind fully placed
him under the power OF the law.-MAC-

Death of q Gifted Lady,

Intelligence was received by Mrs. Wm.
B. Smith of this town on Saturday last

Bateman, wife of Rev. DIR. Bateman, at
Egleston, Florida. Mrs. Bateman, at the
time of her second marriage, which oc-
Cured in September last, was the widow
of the Rev. John Iuskip. a prominent
Methodist minister, who in connection
with his wife had achieved a very wide
reputation as successful evangelists.
Mrs. Inskip, who was before her mar
county, her family being pioneer Metho-
dists of North East and vicinity where
she was born. She professed conversion
at an early age, and when quite young

on Zion Circuit in this county. Early in
prominent opponents of the doctrine of
growth in grace, and that of Christian
perfection. In the camp meetings par
ticularly, they in connection with Mr..
and Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. King a daughter
of the Rev. Andrew Longacre Of Phila-
delphia, and others taught she possibility
of attaining higher Christian expert
ence. Mrs. Inskip was a forcible and
persuasive speaker, unusually gifted in
language, an enthusiastic and tireless
| worker in the church. To her ability
and talent as an exhorter, Mr.. Inskip,
dou btless, owed very large share of his
ministerial success. In the prosecution
! of their labors at camp meetings, Mr..
| Inskip became one of the organizers of
the National Camp Meeting Association,
| one meeting of which was held at Oak
| ington on the 7, w. & 3. railroad in
the Summer of 1870 At Round Lake,
| near iratoga and at all OF the National
Centres of American Methodism they be-
came prominent. Seeking a wider field
| and following the example of the great
| founder of MethodIsm, John Wesley,
! whose parish was the world, about 1879
| they started on the circuit of the globe,
preaching the doctrine of entire sanctifi-
cation, with abundant success. Even
after the death of her husband which
occurred in 1894, Mrs. Inskip continued
the evangelistic work aud with ardor
undated, labored to secure converts to
the higher doctrine of her church. DR..
Bateman, her second husband was a
member of the Philadelphia Conference
although located at Egleston, Florida, as
Pastor of the Inskip Memorial Church
which Mrs. Inskip had erected there. In
her death Msthodism has lost gifted
advocate and devoted friend.
