Absence of Real Children in Literature

Absence of Real Children in Literature.
The wise mentors in conventional lit
erature virtually tell you that child liter
ature wants no real children in it; that
the real child's example of defective
grammar and lack of elegant department
would furnish to its little patrician pa
irons suggestions very hurtful indeed to
their higher morals, tendencies and am
bitions. Then, although the general pub
lie couldn't for the life of it see why or
how, and might even be reminded that
it was just such rowdying child
itself, and that its father-the father
of his country-was just such child.
that Abraham Lincoln was just such
q lovable, lawless child, all--all of
this argument would avail not in
the least, since the elegantly minded
purveyors of child literature cannot pos
sibly tolerate the presence of any but the
refined children-the very proper chill
dren-the studiously thoughtful, poetic
children--and these must be kept safe
from the communicating touch of our
rough and tumble little fellows in "hod-
den gray" with frowzy heads, begrimei
but laughing faces, and such awful
awful vulgarities of naturalness, and
crimes of simplicity, and brazen faith
and trust, and love of life and everybody

pellers showed out of Buffalo, bound for
the scene OF the fight. Two OF these
were chartered by Morrissey's friends
and two by the hackers OF Heensn.
They paid the Western Transportation
company 81 per head for each man who
went aboard and sold tickets at IS each,
making clear profit OF $4. On arriving
at Point Abino in Canada, the Heenan
party found the ring already pitched,
but in deep sand. Aaron Jones said :
"Mr. Heenan is entitled to the money
because Mr.. Morriesey's g friends have not
pitched the ring in accordance with the
articles signed for the fight, which calls
for sod of grass" Morrissey's hackers
drew pistols and eaid, "Let's see you
get dollar of it without fight" and
Jones weakened. The fight then went
on, and for the first ten rounds Heenan
made chopping block of Morrissey's
head. neck and shoulders. He knocked
him down six times in the first nine
rounds, and then for two rounds the
battle wavered. After the eleventh
round the scale turned in favor of Nor
rissey, and poor Heenan was dragged
back on board of his boat, whipped
man. Morrissey now retired forever
from the ring.

Two years later Heenan WAS matched
to fight Tom Sayers for the champion
ship of the world and the sum Of $40, 600
side. The money was put up on
Heenan's side by Jim Hughes, Dan
Bryant, the minstrel, Aleck Mason, q
New York and Erie railroad man, and
Reuben Parsons, who took $1,000 in the
match. The hackers of Sayers do not
kn<v by name, but they backed him
with great confidence, for he had fought
16 victorious battles, one draw.tght and
was defeated once by Nat Lan9ham.
This brings US down to 1850, and as that
was virtually q new era in the history
of the ring I may as we'll make halt

sequent number. THE OLD 'UN.

And later, when the leaves fell down,
And rehearsed my heartfelt tale,

But wholly destitute Of weather!

IN THE JURY'S HANDS.
Judge Prewitt's Charge in the Palmer
Case.

Judge Prewitt's Charge in the Palmer
Case.
The Palmer case came to close last
night, so far as the arguments of counsel
We're concerned. A. L. Hart commenced
his argument at the opening of the court.
and finished at quarter-past 3.
Z. L. Jones opened his argument at
half-past 3, and spoke till the court ad-
Journed. in the evening he resumed it,
speaking from till 20 minutes of 10,
making an able address.
The Judge charged the Jury, among
other things, that they were the sole
judges of the facts; that a preponderance
ol evidence did not mean solely in the
number OF witnesses, but the evidence
which carried with it the greatest weight.
The question of intent must be deter
mined by the circumstances surround
ing the act and the evidence in the case.
they were not bound to decide in con-
iormlty with greater number OF wit
neSses on one side, as against a lesser
number on the other side, unless in ac-
cordance with the law and the facts.
A reasonable doubt, he said, is doubt
which has some reason for its basis. A
doubt, to justify an acquittal. must be a
reasonable doubt. A defendant is never
REG ulred TO establish a fact in his defense

lie especially charged them that the de-
| fendant had right To testify or not. ac-
cording 10 his wishes, and they must not
allow the fact that he had not testified to
weigh against him in their minds. as il
was his right. He defined the different
degrees OF murder and also what consti- :
tuted premeditaLion. In this case it is
claimed that at the time of COMMITTING
this deed the defendant was insane. and
he instructed them that against this de-
tense the law had no prejudice. and if
they were satisfied that such was the fact.
from preponderance of evidence. it was
their duty to acquit him. The burden OF
proof, however, was on the defendant, as
| every person is deemed sane unless
proved otherwise. The law declares that
certain persons cannot commit crimes,
and among them are lunatics. They
must determine whether the defendant
knew what he was doing, as if he did not,
he was not responsible.
The jury, said the court, must consider
all the defendants acts, both before, at
the time of and after the deed. Mere
anger or temper are not insanity. The
law holds all persons responsible for acts
committed under the influence of anger
and malice. Insanity is not proved or
established by simply raising a doubt
that 1t exists. Ii they were satisfied that
the defendant was insane, whether from
the effects of alcohol or any other cause
1t was their duty to acquit him.
The charges We're very long and full,
containing forty-nine heads, or divisions,
and it was not until 1880 that the Jury
was sent out to deliberate on their verdict.

with razor, is about three inches long.
and laid bare both his windpipe and Jug
ular vein, making frightful cash. Had
the cut been made by a skillful surgeon it
could scarcely have more narrowly missed
being instantly fatal.
Some one who saw the affray telephoned
to the police station, but by some misun-
derstanding the patrol wagon was sent to

some other part of the city. In the mean
time O'Neal was taken to the Receiving
Hospital by Dan Healey, who was him.
self locked up as being witness to the
fight.
When O'Neal reached the hospital his
clothing was covered with clotted blood
that flowed from his throat, and he was a
frightful sight to behold.
He was very much under the influence
of liquor and could give no intelligent
account of the affair, except to say that he
would hunt down his assailant if he had
to railroad" all over the country.
Later he said ne was cut by one Foley
and then he denied it and said Foley was
his friend. But if don't croak Tll find

was lately from Illinois, and had no re-
lations.
His wound was dressed by the CITY
Physician, number of stitches being
taken in his throat, and the exposed
windpipe and arteries kept in place by a
stiff bandage.

rested two men in the vicinity OF the
fight, who gave their names as William

having had anything to do with the
affair, and protested without avail
against being locked up.

who was seen to have the fight with

cutting.
He was seen to follow O'Neal with the
evident intention Of finishing him, but
tried to escape from the locality when OBJ

Riley was formerly employed as a
draughtsman by an architect of this city.
When taken TO the City Jail O'Neal re-

"Queena" has taken we'll at the opera
house. 1t is played level with a high
standard, and its production does great
credit to the New York Stock Company.
Miss Nannary's personation of Queena is
an artistic success in a powerfully emo
tional part. Tonight the two football
teams, that of Sacramento and that of
Berkeley, accompanied by great many
friends displaying the colors of the rival
clubs, will attend at the opera-house.
There was a fine audience at the Metro
politan Theater last night. Hoyt's "a
Trip to Chinatown was played. 1t was
surprise as it proved so greatly superior
to the performance of the piece here
nearly three years ago. The play has but
an incOnsequental plot, but any amount
of clever speciality work, character acting,
dancing and good singing. The baritone,
Mr.. Libby, is superior and was repeatedly
encored. The little girls, the Mccoy sis
ters, are exceedingly clever dancers, Miss
Patrice the best French soubrette in a
washing maids part who has ever been
seen here-indeed, her share in the COM
edy deserves to take the front rank. The
ventriloquial and whistling exhibition by
Harry Gilfoil was something out OF the
common and more than clever. Laura
Biggar made a charming widow" and
Burt Haverly as Welland Strong gave a
most amusing burlesque upon the woes
and fears of hypochondriac. We can
understand now why the piece has run
