DAMAGING EVIDENCE.
Judgment for the Gi|Iigs and Against
Miss Gehring.
Fabrics Which the Ex-Maid Claimed
Returned to Her Former
Employers.

When Amelia Gehring, Mrs. Amy
Glllig's ex-maid, was tried in the Supe-
rior Court on charge of grand larceny,
several elegant pieces of silk and some
valuable heliotrope lace and black lace
We're exhibited by the prosecution, and
Miss Gehring was questioned regarding
them. She denied that she had ever
stolen them from Mrs. Gillig, and en-
phatically declared that they were her
own property. She swore that she had
purchased the goods in Paris.
| After the maids acquittal she brought
suit against the Gilligs in Justice of the
| Peace Henry's court for the possession OF
these and other articles.
STARTLING. PROOF.
Mrs. Gillig denied the girls claim, and
said she would prove that the girl had
sworn falsely-and subsequent develop
ments go TO show that such was the case.
Immediately after the commencement
OF the suit Mrs. Gillig sent to New York
| for several trunks containing clothing he
| longing to her. In these trunks were the
Identical dress patterns from which were
cut the fabrics found in Miss Gehring's
possession.
These dress patterns were exhibited in
Justice Henry's court yesterday when
the case came up for hearing. The pieces
of costly pink silk, heliotrope lace and
| black lace were all matched by the pat
terms taken from the trunks, and it was
apparent to the court that they had been
cut therefrom.
NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT.
Mrs. Bournand an experienced dress
maker was called as an expert and un-
| hesitatingly declared that the pieces were
taken from Mrs. Gilligs patterns. The
fabrics were exceedingly odd i'll texture
and pattern and, the lady said, could not
have been duplicated in each instance by
accident.
Mrs. Gilhg also produced an exact
counterpart of handkerchief case
claimed by Miss Gehring, and stated, as
she did on the former trial, that she had
bought them both in Paris.
There was no evidence offered in be-
half of Miss Gehring. The ex-maid was
not in court but was represented by her
attorneys, Clinton and Lincoln White.
At the conclusion of the case judge
Henry promptly gave Judgment for the
Gllhgs and returned the property to
them.

alive. Jewish cultivators. as Baron de

in the Argentine Republic, where
French and English Christians are Civ
ing up the struggle and coming home.
Mr.. White tells us that he has just re-
turned from the agricultural Jewish
colonies of Cherson and Ekaterinoslav,
which number thirty thousand persons,
subsisting entirely by agriculture
They are described by him as industri-
GUS, sober, and having no counterbal-
ancing vice, unless propensity to
early and improvident marriage is so to
be considered. The truth is, as Mr.
Feinberg, Russian Jewish gentleman
in st. Petersburgh observes, that it
was the fanatcism of the middle ages
that drove the Jews from the fields and
forced them to live in towns. It'll emf

prejudice to cultivate the soil, and then
to reproach them with their aversion

MORAL MAGIC.

Think often Of mems worthy ways,
Speak rarely of their bad ones;
Sing freely of your happy days,
Keep silent of your sad ones.
1t is not right to fret and sigh,
And when grief sleeps to wake it;
Pure happiness is standing by
Our life is what we make it.
Look on the nobler side of each,
Still trusting firmly in it;
A prize there is within your reach
If you but try to win it.
%hy let chain hold you in pain,
When you with ease can break it,
See in your hand the magic wand
This life is what we make it.
Lift up your eyes when you are sad,
Your lonesome heart strings aching;
Behold, the world at heart is glad,
In smiles at all points breaking.
Fresh streams of bliss are ever flowing;
Deny your thirst or Stake it;
Both here and there where you are going,
Your life is what you make it.
The deeds we do or leave undone
Make sweet or nauseating
Both what we meet beneath the sun
And states beyond it waiting;
And let kind fateS the soul compose
Or cruel fortune shake it.
Through all the way true insight shows
That life is what we make it.
The strongest magic in the world
Consists of shared emotion;
Beneath this flag aloft unfurled
All sparkles like an ocean.
The heart may brood alone in blight
Till dead disgust doth cake it;
A friend draws near with love and light
And life is what these make it.
Then praise to those whose cheerful hearts
Shed hope and JOY about them;
At each dear name the courage starts
We had not known without them.
Our earth should be happy spot
To all who may partake it;
The faults their own if it is not;
For life is what we make it.

able to speak for himself, and will no
doubt be heard from in due time. The
National Economist, the national or
gan of the order, takes the same view
of the Mississippian's position on AL
lance matters that our correspondent
does. In long editorial in its last is
sue criticising the position of the
Mississippian, It says:
at is the unpleasant duty
of the Economist to call attention OF
the Order to the fact that in it's course
the Mississippian has entirely miscOn-
ceived its duty as an Alliance official
organ. An official organ may enjoy as
much latitude in the range of its dis
cussiOn as it chooses, if it does not OPP
pose the Order; but when it COM
mences to assist the enemy in prOduc-
ing discord in the Order by fighting its
principles, it becomes traitor in the
camp and should be treated accord
ingly."
1t is due the Mississippian to state
that it claims that it is pursuing ex-
actly the policy agreed to by the
State Alliance Executive Committee
when it accepted the official journal
ship, and that as far as it is advised,
its course has met their full approba-
ton. That being true, it is the COM
