Mrs. Charles w, DuRov

SARAH MCKINNEY, wife of Charles
w. DuRoy, entered into the rest which
remains for the people Of God onW ed
nesday, January Goth.
For little more than a half century
she had pursued her earthly pilgrimage.
Early in life the cross of her Master E.
came all honored burden, which snt,
ever bore with Christian fortitude, and
under it's kindly discipline, her wom1l,-
ly character developed into all tho
grace, beauty and divine heIpfulness
which made her life snch il treasure to
those who came under the sunshine of
it's influence.
Life with her was Synonymous with
duty. As wife, mother aud friend
she ministe1ed with joyous heart to
her loved ones. Her home was a tab
ernacle of peace into which it was a
high privilege to enter. She had ever
an eye to the service of tie Christ
whom she so humbly, hnt so faithfully
followed. Into the larger life of eter-
nifty she has now entered. That larger
life means fuller growth, and fuller
growth means service more complete.
But what's the service of our blessed
departed 2 1t is the ministry of love-
Are they not all ministering spirits,
sent forth to minister for them who
shall be heirs of salvation ~
May those she ever loved on earth
feel the near approach of this minis
tering angel from the unknown shore

A Fearless Judge.

Such is the title of an editorial which
we clip from the Lafayette Advertiser
edited by FL. A. Wander Cruyssen, un-
der date OF January Goth ult.
We heartily concur ia the course
| taken by our fearless Judge. The ad-
ministration of the criminal laws in
Louisiana, has reachad such a point
that just such judges are greatly in de-
mand. Whenever jurors return yer
diets which are clearly unwarrantable
by the evidence, the public peace and
welfare demand that their services as
jurors should be peremptorily dispensed
with.
We think Judge Dupie acted prop
erly, and trust he will repeat it as Of
ten as the verdicts Of the juries are
clearly contrary to the evidence before
them.
We subjoin the article We have re-
ference to:
Some of our exchanges dwell quite at length
upon the increase of crime in our State.
This Is due mainly to the easiness and will
ingness OF our jurymen who are too lenient to-
wards the guilty ones.
The dead can't speak, and consequently they
take the version OF the living one as pure and
unadulterated truth and they turn loose upon
the communities many ones who il they had
received their just desert would have been
either dangling at the end of a stout rope or
received shelter in the penitentiary
But we record with pleasure the action of
Judge Dupre at Crowley which we give below
in full to readers.
With many more men of that stamp on the
bench there might be SOME hope for decrease
of crime.
In the case of the State of Louisiana vs.. lack
Triplet, charged and tried for murder on Mon
day last, the jury after being out about three
quarters or an hour, brought in a verdict of
with people to await the issue of the case and
when the verdict, We, the jury, find the de-
fendant not guilty." a profound silence ensled
indicating the disapproval that was felt
Judge Dupre, affera few minutes pause, said |
in substance: "Gentiemen OF the jury am not |
In the habit of criticising the ver1icts OF iuries
but in this case am constrained to say your |
verdict is gross miscarriage of justice. Your |
services are no longer needed and you are dis |
charged without delay. II we are to have such |
verdicts as this upon such evidence as was |
brought before the court it is useless to try amy
more homicldal cases" With few exceptions |
The sentiment OF the people was with the |
Judge.

A strong petition by the citizens of
Baton Rouge has been prepared for
submission to the Constitutional Con-
vention requesting that body to engraft
in the constitution clause authorizing
the State to take charge and control
their municipality, on the same plan as
that now in effect in the District of Col
umbia. While there is good reason for
the United States to have territory
under its exclusive control where its
capitol and government should he 10

At Tickfaw, in the above named
parish on Friday night last, John s..
Hutchinson, a quiet aud peaceable
farmer, was fouliy shot down aud mur-
dered on his gallery. He bad just tax
en- a drink of water, placed the dipper
in the bucket and turned to re. enter
the house, when the cowardly shot was
made. 1t was about 8 o'clock at night,
and the assassin was concealed behind
clump of bushes in Mr.. Hutcbison's
own yard.
Mr.. H. bad not been connected with
the various feuds upon which the kill
ings there were based.
Something ought to be done or else
our State will continue to enjoy an un-
enviable reputation for lawIessness
which it does not altogether deserve.
