then described how she and her brothers
and sisters had made the lanterns by
leaving one end OF box open, placing

opening with coored tissue paper.
A Juror suggested that the little girl
make lantern to show them. She was
given all the materials, and, sitting down
on the floor of the court room, the tot
solemnly made lantern, while the
Court and jury looked on with glistcning

1t is now denied that Rev. L. w. Babb
is chaplain of the penitentiary.
a few days after the new Superintend-
ent of the Penitentiary had been ap-
pointed, telegram from Raleigh appear
ed in the Charlotte Observer, Wilmington
Messenger, and Richmond Dispatch,
stating that Reinhardt had been slated
for superintendent of the Wadesboro
farm; Senator McCaskie for the Roanoke
farm, and Rev. IT, w. Babb for chaplain
of the penitentiary.
1T seems that when this paper, quoting
from file of the Biblical Recorder, ex-
posed the Rev. Babb, the appointment
had not been made. The premature pub
iication doubtless saved the State the
disgraceful appointment With reference
