lieve the time will come when not only
the public but this honorable Court
will be convinced that this conviction
was a mistake" ..Is that alp asked
the Recorder. A few more words from
the lawyer and the play had reached
its last act.
Then Goff,. having worked the scene
for all it was worth, and having swept
away all traces of legal technicality.
SO that the Judge might remain the
solitary master OF the occasion, to par
don or condemn, turned and vented
upon the defendant the venom OF a con-
science which knew that the facts had
convicted it of outrage. On the
strength of his own private investiga-
tion, publicly aud in open court, he
damned Langerman as dishonest and
vile. and then pronounced him inno-
cent! It seemed more like confession
of COTS than confession of Barbara
Aub's!
As an exhibition of official indecen-
cy and utter incapacity to appreciate
a Judges relations to other men, COTS
performance was a monument.
The Recorder is a disgrace to a
court of justice. Y. San.

u ~ game OF any sort, ana 00hI you
think, after riding ten or twelve miles
through what used to be splendid hunt
ing grounds. did not see a single
game bird, or a single deer. turkey
squirrel, pheasant or quail-not even
woodpecker these woods used
to be full of all sorts of game. could
have killed as much as / could have
packed on my back. In my trip one
man told he saw one pigeon few days
before. / told him If he saw one
pigeon he was spy looking for mast,
ard there would be more along before
many days, for the woods were full oi
acorns; and most always game will
come to where the mast is. But
guess that pigeon saw the acorns had
too many worms in them to suit his
APPETITE. Aud, again. we used to have
large bird they called the wood hen.
1t was black, with red head. and white
spots on its wings. l have seen that
bird fly from one tree to another.
They fly with kind of swinging mo.
tion, and as they light on the side OF
a tree they will stop and listen. When
he hears worm cutting under the
bark. or in the wood, the bird will,
with his long, sharp bill, make a hole
in a short time; and with his long
tongue. which is like spike with barbs
on it, will fetch that worm out very
quick. 1t is surprising with what force
these birds will strike with their bills.
One day was passing across the farm.
| saw an old stump; on one side was a
crack, and at the foot of the stump ]
saw pile of walnut shells in halves.
I could not think what had done the
work. Each half of the nut had the
meat taken out just as clean as could
be; not a particle OF the meat was left.
As started to go saw bird we call
fiint-a small species of woodpecker
came with a walnut in his bill; with
rapid strokes in the blossom end of the
nut, he split it in halves just as neat,
and then with his tongue scraped out
every particle of the meat. A person
can learn a great deal if if he will keep
his eyes open and take notice.
And now how long will it be before
we have nothing but what is full OF
worms, if all the birds are killed? !
can remember when there were mil
lions of all sorts of insect-eating birds,
and such a thing as wormy nut or a
wormy apple was. thing unknown.
But every year there seem to be less
birds and more worms and fruit-de-
stroying insects. But I hope I may
live to see the birds swarming among
the woods and orchards, as in the days
of long ago. I. P. r.

case was shocking sample of Judicial
abuse of prisoner, whose denuncia

! ment would receive with applause
The outside conviction that the jury
had erred, and that Langerman was
not guilty of the crime as charged,
must have been extensive and profound.
An irresistible suspicion in the Recor-
der's own mind impelled him to make
further investigation. even after the
case was closed by the record, and
when nothing remained but the formal
sentence; and the result was that he
became convinced, on the authorisy of
the woman herself, that the charge
was false. that although Langerman
bad been convicted he was innocent,
and that, of course. he must go free.
What followed, all decent men must

forward and offered one motion for q
new trial and another motion for an

corder maintained his role as Judge
about to execute the awful duty Of de-

Walters Case.

According to the dispatches the Kan
sas delegation in Congress has deter
mined to champion Walters cause, and
to that end resolution will be pushed
in both Houses of Congress calling
upon the President for the papers AMI
correspondence in the case.
The sympathy of our Kansas neigh
bors for their fellow citizen is COM
mendable in the extreme, but If they
really desire to aid him. and especial
II to facilitate his release from prison,
they cap not be too careful what they
do.
The French are an excitable people,
with an exaggerated sense OF their own
Importance and dignity, proud and
sensitive to fault, and above all they
dislike to be crowded. They profess
the warmest friendship for the United
States-a feeling which should not on
| ly be cordially reciprocated on our
part, but we owe them gratitude as
| well-and their Ministers declare that
they have acted without the slightest
degree of malice or any unkind feeling
in Walters case, and have only fol-
lowed the regular course of that branch
of their Jurisprudence which meets the
case. They will be only too glad to
release Waller if they consistently
can.
President Cleveland reports that ev-
erything that his Administrations could
do has been done, and he hopes that
the efforts that Mr.. Olney and Mr..
Eustis are making will soon be crowned
with success.
Now if the Kansas delegation can
suggest anything new to facilitate mat
ters, or can find any other statutes of
the French law or principle of inter-
national law, than those Mr.. Olney
and Ambassador Eustis have been pro-
ceeding under, they will deserve the
high6Dt praise and commendation. But
if they mean to force the hand of the
French government, without regard to
law or custom in such cases, they may
get fight quickly enough, but not
Walters release. The French will
fight at the drop of a hat rather than
abandon single jot or title Of their
rights or dignity.
If the Kansas delegation is sincerely
seeking Waller's release they would
do we'll to go slow. II they are mere
ly trying to make point against q
Democratic administration, without
regard for the consequences to Waller
that is quite another thing * G.

members Of the Adams Express Com
pany who came for the purpose OF attend
ing Stafford County Court, which con-
yenes tomorrow, when the remaining

was told by him that from the best In
formation he could obtain the last three
indictments would be auashed.

Stree the trial Morganfield has been
extremely anxious to use his broken leg.
and | was told by senator Little. hls
counsel, that he has repeatedly asked Ter
crutches. and Is perfectly willing to use
them: but that those in authority Will
not allow him. on the ground that they
are afraid he will attack the guards and
make his escape.
The Senator Is quite severe In his de-
nunclation OF such treatment OF his client.
and also fully expects the granting OF a
new trial.
MAY BE ACQUITTED.
During this term OF the court. Hunt
the alleged murderer of the late Peter
Schooer, will also be tried. but the I'M
preston prevails that the evidence against
him is not suificien, for conviction, and
that he will be acquitted.
