was no doubt of the mans guilt, and was
at my wits end for an argument to make
before the jury. The guilty man was well
connected, was graduate of Harvard COZ
lege, and these things were in his favor;
but he had killed a man of his own sort,
and the friends of the victim were clamor-
ing for justice In his charge to the jury
the Judge ruled that but one verdict was
possible-murder in the first degree. Man
slaughter, he said, was out of the question.

close of court, before the jury had been sent

men afterward, asked him how they had
arrived at such a conclusion, in view Of the
certain guilt of the accused.
WELL he replied, you see how it is,
stranger. Our Jail is in such wretched
condition that there was some of Us op-
posed TO sentencing any gentleman to stay

This is a true story concluded Mr.. Assay,

MR. HUBBARp's STORY.

! This is the story told by Mr. l. p Hubbard,
| the secretary of the New England society,
! an elderly gentleman known to and adj
mired by thousands of New Workers. His
| office is at IS Wall street. he says he DO
gan to chew tobacco at IL years of age and
few years later to smoke. Then he be-
came protesting Christian and abandoned
the habit Of chewing, which he rightly de-
clares to be filthy. Becoming convinced
that as Christian he had no business TO
surrender TO tobacco in any form, be threw
away his cigar and never bought another.
He had been a moderate smoker and it
was in the old days when cigaIsw were cheap,
SO that six cigars a day cost only thirty
seven and a half cents. for they were six
and a quarter cents apiece That sum OF
thirty-seven and half cents he put aside
every day, and at intervals deposited IL in
the Seamans Bank for Savings. He dis
covered that in round numbers it amount
ed to 1855 year.
He never abandoned the habit Of laying
this money aside, aud It brought him per
cent. interest. At the end of fifty-eigbt
years il amounted to $96. 49, With that
money, he says, he purchased his fine estate
at Greenwich, consisting OF two acres aud
home. With it be has educated his chill
dren and spent occasional sums for benev-
oIent purposes. He tells of fruit and shade
trees, of horse snd COW aud calf and
chickens, and of merry days beside the
beautiful sound, so that there are hints
upon which duiler fancy than mine can
rear picture of splendid property ard
home.
A table which he has prepared Is prefaced
with the statement that friends have ex-
pressed doubts in regard 70 the correctness
Of his assertion" He admits that ii seems
incredible, and therefore be gives the exacs

There are those who say that Me-
mortal Day is becoming unpopular;
that the spirit which made the OBJ
genuine at first is dying out,
and that the soldiers graves will soon
be left unmarked. Don't believe it.
The man who says so is deceiving
himself. He thinks that he is too
strong-minded for sentimentality. In
reality he is too pig-headed for senti-
ment. The day is too good for him;
he cannot appreciate it. Let any
man who is inclined to sneer
at the ceremonies tomorrow look
about among his acquaintance and
note which Of them is most
faithful to the memory Of a
friend; which of them longest cher
ishes a keepsake; which Of them, on
the whole, is most deeply moved by a
spirit OF nerOlsm, OF any worn lhde -
addressed directly to the heart. His
thought will be led in this way to the
best fellow he knows, to the most re-
spected and the best beloved; and,
finally, to q man who does not see
anything silly about Memorial Day,
and will enter into its observance with
a reverent spirit. Respect the day for
its history; il has been one of the prin
cipal agents of reconciliation; a yearly
rebuke to those who would make
party capital out of a contest that has
ended in an honorable peace.

Vicious Sympathy b Murder.
The maudlin sentimentalism which
has been squandered on the muir
deress, Pasqualina Robertiello, IS
vicious and injurious in the last de-
gree. 1t is the same kind that lavishes
flowers and d~elicacies on thugs await
ing execution, and that glorities
thieves and outlaws like Jesse james.
This young woman, in cold blood,
with absolute de~liberation, with the
express purpose Of taking his life. shot
and killed the partner OF her earlier
sin. She knew it vas murder. She
would be punished as a murderess in
her native country, where they are
not sentimentally lenient to female
criminals. She was and could be
under no misconception as to the
degree of her guilt or its legal conse-
quences.
But she shed a few tea rs for a
Brooklyn iury;-played tragedy for
them, while her counsel concocted a
romance out of the common vulgar
amour which had led to the murder.
And so the weak, foolish jury acquit-
ted her. Now she is as happy as the
day is long, trying to make up her
mind whether she will marry a rich
young Italian or go on the stage.
Meanwhile nero other or
less immoral young women are pri-
cling pistols and cartridges.
Let us grant the girl had been
wronged, that she had some provoca-
ton, that her victim deserved what
he got. All these things are true
enough. But surely it was a mons
trous outrage On law and justice to
turn her loose on the community
wholly UNPUBLISHED. Perhaps it might
have been hard to hang her, but
surely a few years for repentance in
prison would not have been amiss.

The Davis Monument idea.

The Jefferson monument and the
pension question appear to trouble the
State Gazette dreadfully. 1t says, this
morning
The nation Is willing to forget Jcff Davis,
and Lee and the Confederate army, but II IS
not Jet quite ready to erect monuments to their
honor.
1t is idiotic to talk of the nation
forgetting Davis and Leo. These two
names are written on the page of his
tory in ineffaceable characters. But
it would be highly improper for the
nation to raise monuments to them.
AS the State Gazette says, ''it is not
yet quite ready" 1t is doubtful if
even in future generations the nation
should ever be ready to do this thing.
But in the movement which so agi-
tates the Gazette there is no sugges-
ton that the nation should erect
monuments to these men. The prop
osition is that the people of the
Southern States, to whose cause, as
he and they conceived it, Jefferson
Davis devoted his life and far more
than his life, should erect a monument
in recognition of that devotion and Of
the mutual love that existed between
him and the Southern people.
That is all there is in the Davis
monument movement, and, we repeat,
the people Of the Southern States
would be lacking in gratitude. in
pride, in every chivalric feeling if
they left the graves of their leaders,
who made common cause with them
in their struggle, unmarked and I'M
honored.
One thing we are confident of, with
all the comparative poverty of the
Southern States, the Davis monu-
nsent will be finished long before that
to General Grant at Riverside.

doubt at all that the Democrats are unanimously
question of time when they will begin 20 coddle
the former.
Our position on the pension ques-
ton was explicitly stated in the edi-
torial to which the State Gazette al
ludes, and only partisan malice or
wilful carelessness could misrepresent
it in this way. We reprint it for the
benefit of the Gazette and all whom it
may concern
Weare in favor of granting pensions
to all who may become, or may have
become disabled ia the service of the
Government, whether by age or in
jury. We may add that we think the
pension should be proportioned to
the disability OF the recipient to earn
a livelihood for himself and his de
pendents.
1t is possible that this system might
affect some of the pensions now paid;
but we believe it would effectually
exclude the Confederate soldiers. poor
fellows, from any share of Uncle
Sans bounty. Once again, we may
say. we are and will always be unal-
terably opposed to the payment of
