time and again In the same way without

almost as a component part of the COM

evolution Of pottery still exist in various
outlying corners of the world. Sayages
have been noted who smear their dishes
with clay; and bowls may be found in
various museums which still contain more

In most cases, however, the inner gourd

coated up to the very top with good

get burned out by the heat of the fire in
the course of time until at last the idea
would arise that the natural form was
nothing more than a mere mold or model,
and that the earthenware dish which grew
up around it was the substantive vessel.
as soon as this stage of pot making was
arrived at, the process of firing would be-
come deliberate, instead of accidental,
and the vessel would only be considered
complete as soon as it had been subjected
to great heat which would effectually

Edward Malley eating dinner

first dishes served was oysters on the
half shell. He picF,o up one OF the
oysters with his fork from the shell,
and his eye was attracted by a
white substance which had been con-
cealed under the oyster. 1t was
pearl of extraordins size and excep-
tionaly fine quality, although it was
entirely in the rou, h state. 1t was
examined 10y several gentlemen who
were present, and j. was universally
coneedd to be a remarkable gem. Mr..
Malley placed its value at S75, and
this estimate was accepted as being
none too high. He propose to have
it finished up and mounted. The
oyster in which the gem was found
came from one of the local dealers

WINGS

Beautiful birds have plumage,
Beautiful thoughts have wings;
Stars shine high above the sigh
Of earth's vague whisperings.
Under the earth's broad bosom
Never beauty lies
But shall burn its way to the rim Of day
And flash 10 our wondering eyes.
Beautiful gems lie hidden
Under the fold OF EARTH
Even The slime hides thought sublime
Till the time of the lily's birth
Even the birds went creeping
Wlngless and featheriess,
TIL plume by plume, like the roses bloom.
They borrowed the singers dress
Beautiful birds have plumage.
Beautiful thoughts fly high:
The poets song cannot slumber long,
Its track Is the boundless sky
Under the infinite heavei
Never wing unfurled
But shall find its way &c the verge Of day.
And fash on some wondering world

was. Had he come to tell her that her
darling must languish in prison the rest of
her life or had he come TO
tell her that her daughter was again free

down and wept like child. The surprise
was overcoming but the Joy that it gave
found no expression in words, but only in
tears.
At five minutes before o'clock twelve
sober-faced and solemn men filed into the
criminal court room and took the seats
that they have occupied since last Tues
day, patiently listening to the evidence
for and against Minnie Mabbitt. Alone
between Attorneys Kern and Healing sat
the defendant. and there was look upon
her face half OF fear and half of expect
ant JOY. Grouped about her were half a
dozen newspaper reporters and number
OF spectators. while outside the railing
fully 200 men and women waited with
bated breath for the further proceedings

read the clerk, in measured tone that lent
dramatic effect "cause No. 22,l92. We,

No ore in the courtroom heard the
name OF the foreman when it was read. 1t

that went up from hundred Threats. AS
soon as the excitement had subsidized Judge
Cox dismissed the jury, and permitted the
exutant spectators to throng about the
girl and wiring her hand.
'God bless you," was the almost in
audible expression from two ladies' who
have attended the trial every minute Of
its progress. as they grasped the hands Of
the freed girl.
Then each of the jury was presented TO
her and congratulated her and received in
return the thanks OF the girl. In turn
nearly everyone in the courtroom greeted
her. including Judge Cox.
Accompanied by Attorney Healing she
visited the jail and spoke to her brothers
short while, alter which both
left for Mrs. Banta's house on
Rockwood-st. 'It was the proudest
moment Of my life" was all Mr.. Healing

strangled, but he did demand, in the name
of humanity and law and for the protec-
ton of the thousandsof infants born every
day. that she be given punishment ade-
quate to her crime.
Judge Cox's instructions 10 the jury
were simply the formal ones in homicidal
cases, and at their conclusion Bailitf Shee-
han took the jury to its room. Court then
adjourned un il 1880 o'clock.
The neat little cottage of Mrs. Banta,
No. Rockwood-st. was the scene of a
very affecting reunion last night. Inside
the cottage sat the anxious mother of Min.
ME May Mabbitt, WHO was waiting to hear
the result of the trial that has caused her
so much hearache during the past week.
Finally her suspense was relieved by q
stout knock at the door, and which Mrs.
Banta fastened TO answer. The only per.
son she saw was Attorney John w.
Healing, who was one of Minnie's counsel,
who decorous y stepped inside. The aged
mother OF the accused girl recolnized him

murmurs OF approval and incipient APP
plause that passed throughout the au-
dience.
Attorney Pollard made the opening ar
gument for the defense and delivered a
very stirring Grafton, frequently. by his al
lusions 10 the unfortunate circumstances
of the defendants family, moving his
hearers to tears. The temper of the greater
part OF the audience was such, how
ever, that il didn't require much
prompting to manifest itself, and many
sat with kerchiefs TO their eyes all the
time. Mr.. Pollard's argument was not a
great one Sc FAR as the exculpation of his
client was concerned, but so far as reach
ing the hearts of the jury and playing upon
the sympathetic chords, it WIS great Ell
fort. Dir. Pollard does not soar away in
fguratlve language, but, happily, makes
things palmer TO a plain jury by plain
presentation.
In discussing the evidence ne paid more
attention TO the personnel than the actual
purpose of the witnesses. He scored
Coroner Marker and Deputy Dunn for
their part IN the case, charging
them with intimidation and trickery
in dealing with the defendant; OF
Sergeant Lanorte, Reporter Bloigett and
Mrs. Dixon he spoke kindly, and in con-

know your words will be Go back to your
mother, child 90. and sin no more"
After brief intermission Attorney
Healing, looking scarcely older than the
defendant, made another appeal to tie
jury for the defendant. The address of
the young attorney was very effective and
the jury listened very attentively TO his
remarks. Mr.. KesIing talked for nearly
an hour and half and, like his predeces-
sor. Mr.. Pollard. his argument was calcu-
lated to move the sympathy
of the jury. One phase OF
his argument that he utilized most
effectively was the a tempt of the prosecu-
ton TO establish a conspiracy between
the defendant and her brothers, and his
picture of the love of the young mother
for her babe as brought out in evidence
was q beautiful one, and won many
sympathetic tear for her from the audience.
In closing he said: do not lead this
young girl TO the eallows tree; do not lead
her to the prison cell, but rather lead her
back 10 the Carroll county home and give
her back TO her mother"
Attorney Kern began his argument be-
fore noon, but had not proceeded far until
Judge Cox dismissed the court until 80.
At that hour when all was quiet inside
almost riot was taking place in the gal
lery corridors outside the court room.
So great was the crowd trying to get in
that the baliffs were unable to handle the
surging mass and ass stance from the
police station was summoned, bit even
then great difficulty was experienced in
keeping the CT wd quiet.
Continuing his argument Mr.. Kern al
luded to the evidence feeiingly. and when
looking upon the def-ndant's betrayal
moved his hearers To sobs. One old man
in a grand army uniform in the jury
joined with the gentler eek and permitted

and helpless, was certainly the work OF but a
few moments. aud the fact that all their necks
had been broken indicated a terrific strength
on the part OF the murderer. as well IS a def
mite plan Of action. The movement OF the
negro, West. threw suspicion upon him. which
was afterward strengthened into horrible
certainty by the most convincing circunlstan-
tial evidence.

the tears to fall from his eyes. In allud-
ing 10 the evidence Mr.. Kern two or three
times alluded TO facts which had
the judicial taboo upon them. He
too dealt rather harsLly with the coro-
ner and his deputy for the manner in
which the defendant had been treated be-
fore the coroner. He held that the de-
Tense OF the girl as proven in court was

firmly believing that the child was TO be
