CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
A Young Lady Who Had Narrow Escape
From Conviction.

A Young Lady Who Had q Narrow Escape
From Conviction.
''Stories of conviction Oh circumstan-
tial evidence are rife in the lawbooks
and have afforded the plot Of many a
novel;" said J. S. Haberling Of New
York. "a very sad case, not Of con-
vietion, but almost as bad i'll its results,
occurred in New Yorl. recently. A
young lady Of refinement, stranger III
the city, obtained employment as gov
erness i'll gentleman's family. One Of
her pupils, girl 15 years old, lost a
diamond ring 1t was found in the
desk Of the governess. She declared
she had not seen it since it was last Oh
the girls hand, but she was hustled off
to the Tombs, and unable to give bond
was kept there several days, exposed to
the companionship Of the most depraved
of her sex She was taken to court in
the Black Maria with negress and a
white woman, both convicted felons, 60
ing to be sentenced. She was kept in
the pen waiting for her case to be called.
exposed to the impudent gaze Of the
horde of courtroom loafers.
'When her case was called, the court
appointed a lawyer to defend her, as she
was penniless. Tho prosecuting witness
and her father told the story of the find
ing of the missing ring. The presump-
ton that the accused had placed it there
was more OF less strong until the law
yer began to cross question the owner Of
the ring Guessing at the truth, by
adroit questioning he drew from the
unwilling witness the fact that she had
often pried into the desk and dressing
case drawers Of the governess, and that
she had been SO engaged an hour Or so
before she missed her ring, and the fur
ther fact that the ring fitted loosely.
The judge dismissed the case promptly,
and the accuser's father apologized, but
the young woman, being Of highly
strung and nervous temperament, was
completely Frustrated by her terrible
experience in the Tombs, and the i'll
effects will, it is feared, be permanent. !"

A SUGGESTION.

1t Is suggested by thinking and
observant gentleman that 1t would
perhaps be well for the prospective
immigrants to make their first ac-
quaintance with this country during
the cotton picking season-say ut any
time from September to Christmas.
The reasons urged are full of good arg
ument. In January-the time al which
II is proposed to bring them-the
country appears in Its most unfavor-
able and forbidding aspect. There is
nothing, at that season, to attract a
prospective settler. There is no en-
ployment at which he can make an
immediate livelihood, except per-
haps, a little ditching aud clearing.
lie must wait two months at least,
In enforced idleness, supported by
the merchant or landowner, and
with ample opportunity to Nurse dis
content and dissatisfaction. On the
other hand, in the autumn the ap.
pearence of the country and the climate
is SO attractive that it cannot fail TO
make pleasant impression. Neither
in Italy nor elsewhere eau be found o
more delightful season than we enjoy
during the autumn and early winter.
The fields are white with cotton, and
Oh the very day of the strangers ar
rival he could earn a good days
wages and find certain support as
long as the picking season lasted. or
course q Tuscan peasant would not
know before hand how to pick cotton,
but with the quickness which is ac-
knowledged to be bis characteristic,
be would doubtless give the negro
odds at the work after q few days
trial. In this work, too, the women
and even children of the immigrants
could assist, and it is reasonable to
suppose that they would find much
more attraction in country where
they could, in a manner, pick money
Off the bushes, than If they had to
loaf and grumble in idleness through
the ram and discomfort of January aud
February.

AUDITOR STONE IyTERvIEwIrU.

The Hon. w. w. Stone takes place
squarely with the President in the
following interview in the Plcayune:
81 regard Mr.. Cleveland as the great
est living American statesman. His
patriotism is only equalled by his pro-
found conviction of public responsible
ity. His courage Is Of the highest
type, and lmpels him to act on lines of
public policy withe ut due regard for
which the govern ment would drift
speedily to shipwre ok in the admins
tratiye aud legisls tive crisis now at
hand.
81 indorsr his in depreciation of the
Democrat platform on financial, tariff,
and all oiher lines. lie is really the
truest fT iend of silver to-day in Amer
lea. Any other treatment of the finan-
cial Question than that indicated by
him would utterly ruin silver for the
present, and generation TO come
could not repair the wrong. His de-
msuds for silver are that it shall l)e as
good as gold. The maintenance of
parity is bis silver shibboleih. This
must be done internationally. His
course is driving the world to the con-
viction that what is good for European
nationalities is good for the United
States; that we will not be tho dump
ing ground for metal debased by
other dominant powers. That bimet-
aliislh must be settled internationally
aud nationally.
"a weaker man as President than
Mr.. Cleveland would have ruined the
country, aud destroyed without re-
claim silver as a coin representative of
value.
"Mr. Clovel aud is better Democrat
than thousands claiming to be such,
who, falling TO obtain patronage at his
hands, daily denounce him as q mug
wump.
"He elected the Democracy to power
in 1892 by recruiting 10 his individual
standard as central figure 10 pure
and unsf,ltish Democracy from the
great m ass Of Independent thinkers
and disgusted Republicans, for recog-
nizing whom he is now so vigorously
condonaned.'

not have that effect, for the prospect

land owners employing them, the dan
gers of mistakes and disappointments
from these causes will be minimized
and the chances for mutual satisfaction
and beneficial results increased to the

What Their Employers Have Made Them

If any inhabtant of the Yazoo Delta
is qualified to speak auihoritatlvely
upon the conditions and prospects,
agricultural and social, of this country,
1t is the veteran planter Of Deer Greek,
Col. A.. j Paxton, who has been one
OF the most successful aud best known
farmers of Washington county since
its land was patented rom the U. S.
Government, and who now, at very
advanced but vigorous age, is manag-
ing bis large estate with activity and
profit Col. Paxton visited Greenvile
last week, and expresses himself as
viewing the present situation with
satisfaction and the future without
apprehension. Ofthe negroes, he says,
given an assurance of fair dealing and
held to strict business methods, there
is no reason to complain of their abil-
tiles as laborers or tho satisfactory re-
suits OF their work they are what
their employers made them. This is,
to large extent, granted aud is a Just
shift of the responsibility. But then

takes cheerful view of the outlook Tor
the future, and very justly clsims that
with cotton at cents, no prospect of
overflow, political peace, aud plenty to
eat, there is no OCCASION for gloom or
dependency.
