CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-The jury in the case
Of Prendergast, the assassin OK Mayor
Harrison, found the prisoner guilty yes
terday afternoon, and recommended that
he be hanged.
The verdict produced profound sensa-

fear, and stood dazed and pallid until
bailiff led him TO chair.
When Clrl1 Fitzgerald arose to read
the finding of the jury, the prisoner stood
rlutching the back of a chair, cycling him
with the most intense eagerness. His
long, bony fingers nervously clasped and
unclasped the back of the chair, his
knees trembled violently, his face was
flushed, and the spiteful looking mouth

TEE New York Press saws.

The free trade, Bourbon South will
control the action of the Senate, Of the
House and Of the administration. S.
long as the Democratic party remains IN
power, the evils Of sectional rule will b,
perpetuated.
That being true-of course this high
protection advocate and South hating
partisan is both intelligent and truthful
what a crime it was that the Republi
can party should have begun series Of
frauds and scandals under Grant, stolen
the Presidency for Hayes, and made a
grand climax with the Mckinley bill and
the Force BILL after having increased the
majorities in the House and Senate by
fraud. The party Of saintliness and
patriotism had full possession Of the
Offices, Of all three departments Of the
government It was backed by
mouey to any amount; it had a Presi
dent in the chair who could use Peck =
figures, accept Wanamaker's advice,
drink Carnegies whiskey and still meet
the great Quay's taunt with the unblush-
ing retort that "God and Indiana" were
entitled to the credit for putting him in
the Presidential chair. Considering the
matter calmly, according to the asser-
tlons of the Press, the Republicans have
great load Of grief and sin for allowing
the country TO slip out Of their pure,
unselfsh clutches. The confession that
they have allowed this TO occur is
liable to condemn them; they should
be careful about confessing-we might
conclude that they were incom
petent or guilty by their owr
showing. In fact It does appear that
they could not have lost so much IL the,
were not guilty-if God and Indiana
really were on their side

A story of second sicht.

In the summer of 1868 we were spending
a few months at Dunkirk. The English
consul at the time was Sir John (then Ma
jor) Pringle. We saw n good deal Of the
family, and one day, during a walk over
the dunes, after we had been talking Of
those "bodings unsanctioned by the will
which teach MS to beware" Major Pringle
related the following curious fulfllment
of dream. When boy of 10, he dreamed
that he met with strange accident-that
he had fallen in fact into the crater of an
active volcano and was only rescued from
his perilous position by means Of ropes,
with great difficulty and after many hours
it seemed-of durance. The dream was
so vivid and circumstantial that it made
great impression on the boys mind, and he
mentioned it to several people. Years
passed away, when Pringle chanced to DO
in Sicily, and here he joined a party Of
young Englishmen in making the ascent
of Mount Etna.
They attempted too close an examination
of the crater Pringle lost his footing and
was precipitated into a cuplike depression
from which it was impossible for him to
extricate himself. In this terrible predica-
ment the recollection Of his dream flashed
upon him. For years he had never thought
Of it, but now the horrible nightmare was
reproduced in all its fearful realism. After
a long and anxious delay, he was rescued
by means Of ropes, precisely as he had been
in his dream. Sir John Pringle was man
ofundoubted veracity, and though a Scotch
man was not addicted to a belief in second
sight.-Mrs. Crosse in Temple Bar.

The rIirht of Swallows.

Up to the end of the last century some
curious ideas prevailed as to the way swal-
lows pass the winter, some naturalists sup
posing them to sleep in holes OF hollow
trees during winter while others main
tanned that they lived in the mud at the
bottom Of ponds and streams. Frisch, a
German naturalist, experimental by fas-
tening threads colored with water colors to
several birds, and on their temperance in
the spring these threads were found the
same, disproving the water theory. The
European species leave for Africa about the
end of October, returning about the 10th of
April. They fly singly or in groups Of three
or four, and arrive on the farther side Of the
Mediterranean in a state of exhaustion.
The Australian chimney swallow is sim
liar to the European species, migrating in
spring to the southern parts of Australia
and Van Dieman's Land. where it breeds,
returning on the approach of winter to the
warmer climate of the north. The barn
swallow of the United States is too well
known to need description. It spends the
winter in the West India islands and South
America, going as far south as the equator,
leaving the United States about the middle
of September and returning in March,
