euutix chicken Dinner.

An expensive dinner was rendered 9
few friends by JamAs-nydS""f 'V"
York man, the other night. Mr..
Cryder served a pair Of chickens that
cost him $40 but two weeks ago.
They were prize winners at the Madison
Square poultry show, and their finish
on the dinner table was entirely un.
premeditated. Mr.. Cryder instructed
a Swedish servant, who had been 10
the country but three weeks, to clip
the chickens wings a little. The
Swede obeyed orders too faithfully and
cut them off close to the body.

We note that Senator LIE Cato's reso-

WE trust that nothing will prevent the

Houses of the Legislature IN this matter,
and we urge upon both bodies to join in

the prisoner to such risks is obvious from
the number of applications which are
being handed to the Governor to commute
sentences on the ground that the priS-

object of combining a criminal is not to
kill him by slow degrees, but to restrain
him and better him mentally, morally

these ends may be carried out, and we
urge on them to give to the solution OF
the matter their earnest attention and

FOR EQUAL MD EXACT JUSTICE

We publish i'll another column protest
against the presumed course of justice IN
Nottoway county as regards Mr.. Watkins,
the husband Of the lady upon whose tes-
timony the negro William II. Wilson was
sent to the penitentiary for eighteen years
for assault. The author of the article
was not only q brave Confederate officer.
but is a distinguished scholar and as
loyal a Virginian as ever lived
Although this jury in Wilson'S case
acted within their lawful powers, there
would be a glazing contrast between
sending Wilson to the penitentiary Tor
eighteen years for the offense he COM
1nitted and having Watkins to go free
when he has gone at night ana
set fire to the house in which Wilson'S
wife and five little children were sleep
ing. Il this altrocious act is ignored, 1t
may well be said that Justice is not blind
in Nottowny. but carefully selects, accord
ing to color, the subjects for her punish
Encnt
The spirit Of lawlessness is generated by
lawlessness. 1t becomes a habit OF
thought with the people who justify or
even tolerate lawlessness. The only way
to have the laws obeycd is to have them
enforced. The pronlptness with which Will
son has been taken and convicted is an
evidence off the effectiveness OF the law
when the people choose to administer 1t,
but the effect Of this prompt administra-
I iro1S of hn I
large, will be much impaired if one guilty
man is punished and another VIGOROUSLY
and fagrantly guilty man is allowed to
go free. Justice must be equal and exact,
cven-handed and blind, TO commend the
universal respect and confidence of the
people.
We are glad to hear it reported that
the civil authorities Of Nottoway do not
intend to ignore Mr.. Watkins crime.

The test of the good ground rs fhat 1t
bears fruit" The fruit, here spoken or,
is the fruit Of the spirit. Love, JOY peace,
long suffering, gentleness, goodness latin,
meekness, temperance" these are qhe
only, satisfactory proofs that the seed Of
Gods word has taken root. or is doing its
proper work in our souls.
These not only hear with pleasure, but
act with decision They repent, they be-

We must not be satisfied with clear
knowledge, warm feelings and mere for

gospel produces positive fruit IN our

The important question is-"How do We
hear?' We live in Il Christian conlmun-
ity. We go to a place of worship Sunday
after Sunday 20 hear sermons. In what
spirit do we hear them? What effect have
they on our characters? Can we point to
anything in us that deserves the name OF
fruit?
We may rest assured that to reach
heaven at last it needs something more
than to go to church, rejoicing and lis
tening to sermons, The word OF God must
be received into our heart and become the
handspring OF. our conduct. 1t must pro-
