NEW YORK JUSTICE.
A City In Which q Rival IL Not Held In

AS is generally known, it Is a pun
ishable offense in the state Of New York
for any person to attempt to take his
life, although it is not SO if the attempt
be successful-which makes self NJ urder
somewhat different legally from the
other kind. AS is also very generally
known, New York, individually and
collectively, is disposed to forever point
the finger Of scorn at her large and
growing neighbor. Philadelphia.
Not long ago a prisoner was before q
New York judge charged with attempt
ed suicide, and the judge, being a man
who lived on Easy street, where it was
sunny in winter and shady in summer,
frowned feroely ON the culprit because
he couldn't understand how any man
would want to quit this life until he
was forced to do SO.
"Your honor" pleaded the culprit,
looking into the frowning face of JUS
tice, There were mitigating oircum-
stances"
The judge frowned moro fiercely at
the thought Of Offering an excuse for
such crime and said nothing.
"But there were, your honor, - insist.

I thus describes the charge Of the Sew

The men saw the disaster at the front line
and, rushing for their arms, called upon Major
Motherspaw, our commander, to lead them in.
After waiting q moment for orders, and as
none came, he gave the command: Forward!
Double quick! March, when the men seemed
to vie with one another who should be first at
the breach. That was the last order rec cllect

Major Motherspaw and Adjutant Will
mer were killed at Franklin. Among
the killed was noted character of the
regiment, Gil HARRISON of Company B.
HARRISON had abandoned theology to
fall in with the Seventy third. At Ken
esaw his boon comrade was treacherous-
ly murdered by the enemy during a
picket truce. HARRISON vowed revenge
and from that time on haunted the
picket line night and day making stray
shots. The night before Franklin he
told his companions that he had squared
the account and was satisfied.
