HonorabIy Acquitted.

On Tuesday the attention of the
Circuit Court was occupied during the
whole day with the case of the Terri
tory against W. S. Wise on the charge
of extortion. the charge arising from
circumstances connected with the lar
ceny of several hundred dollars from
the firm of Wise & Niekeus. attorneys
at-law. by their Office boy. Furtado.
About FIVE hundred dollars taken from
the house of the married sister of Fur
tado by the police and afterward turn
ed over by them to Wise & Nickeus
upon the claim of the latter that il
was part of the money stolen by Fur
tado was the subject matter of the al
legged extortion The boys relatives
mentioned above claimed that the
money was indeed theirs, and that
only the threats of the defendant
(Wise) had prevented them from de-
handing its return. They alleged on
the stand that Wise had threatened to
prosecute both Furtado and them
selves to the full extent of the law
which included long terms of impris-
onment, if they denied that this money
was his. stolen by the boy Furtado.
1t is doubtful whether it was neces-
sary for the defense to put on any wit
nesses. They, however, saw fit to do
so. and their evidence. including tes-
timony given by Captain Brown. Yo-
taro and Charles Moore. all three OF
the police department, showed con-
clusively that Wise had every reason
to suppose that the money in question
belonged to his firm; the boy Furtado
had repeatedly, and in the most sol
emn manner asserted at the tins that
this was so, and only later, wnen ap-
parently he and his family had been
put up by some one else to the notion
that there was here a good chance for
them to still further iniure his former
employers. did he and they make the
complaints which led to the prosecu-
ton on the part of the government
The case was submitted by counsel
to the jury without argument. and the
| latter after being out about long
enough to walk to the juryroom, turn
around and return, brought in YER
dict of not guilty Mr.. Wise received
the hearty congratulations of his
| friends upon the complete vindication
from the charge so groundlessly
brought against him. The jury that
tried the case was composed as fol-

Dear Chloe. while the busy crowd.
The vain, the wealthy. and the proud,
In folly's maze advance;
Though singularity and pride
Be called our choice. we'll step aside,
Nor join the siddy dance.
From the gay world Wen oft retire
To our own family and fire.
Where love our hour employs;
No noisy neighbors enter here,
No intermeddling stranger near,
To spoil our heartfelt Joys.
II solid happiness We prize.
Within our breast this jewel lies,
And they are fools who roam;
The world hath nothing to bestow,-
From our own selves our bliss must how
And that dear hut, our home.
Our portion is not large. indeed:
But then how little do we need.
For Natures calls are few;
In this the art of living lies,
To want no more than may suffice.
And make that little do.
Wen. therefore, relish with content
Whate'er kind Providence has sent.
Nor aim beyond our power;
For, if our stock be very small,
'Tis prudence to enjoy 1t all,
Nor lose the present hour.
To be resigned when ills betide,
Patient when favors are denied,
And pleased with favors given,-
Dear Chloe, this is wisdoms part,
This is that incense of the heart,
Whose fragrance smells to heaven.

vided by law for his crime. He must
suffer In spita OF petitions and In spite
of threats OF rescue by mob OF SLAYER
sympathizers. A battalion of marines
would even be sent from the navy yari
to protect the officers OF the law II
enforcing the sentence. At noon on
Feb. 2l. 1862, Gordon was taken from
his cell to the gallows. His brayado
forsook him then and with lollInt
head he shambled to the rope. sup.
ported by two deputies. There the
moose was quickly adjusted. an aS blow
released the weight and his body was
jerked into midair. The stroke OF
that AK on the cord was the hardest
blow the slave trade had ever received.
There were, indeed. slavers aaoat
thereafter. While the market existed
and such enormous profits were to be
made. even the severest measures
could, perhaps. but repress. By q
treaty with Great Britain, made on
Feb. II, 1868. the limits of the terri
tory wherein the mutual rights OF
search existed were greatly extended
Even as late as 1870 Great Britain
and the United States had to strength

the suppression OF the trade. because
few slavers were yet ahoat, and II
was not until 1856 that the Spaniards
In Cuba ceased to import unfortunate
Africans. Nevertheless. when It be-
came known that the American peo-
pie would hang a SLAYER as a pirate
the end was at hand. As the rope
creaked to the weight OF Gordon's dis
honored clay is sounded the death

when required for leggings, aprons
used by agricultural laborers, harness
or anything that must be subjected to
wear and tear, the skins are oak tam

ly exported from Spain to Germany,
whereas the latter find, or used to find,
good market in Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines. In removing the skin
from the carcass small hole is made
in one of the hind legs of the animal;
a strong pair of bellows is inserted
into this little aperture and the air is
blown in until the carcass is well swol-
len. The belly is slit open from end to
end and the skin carefully removed, II
necessary with the help of knife.
The skins, after being exposed to the
sun until a slight crust is formed on
the flesh side, are stretched on ropes
in the shade until completely dried,
and are then ready for export. Goat
skins are produced in large quantities
in the vicinity OF Badajoz and general
ly in all the south of Spain. The skin
of the young kid is used only for Ia
dies fine gloves. and is prepared prin-
cipally at Annonay and Grenoble, in
France. These skins also find mar
ket in the United States in prepared
state; but with this sole exception the
entire supply of Spanish kid and goat
skins is exported in the raw state to
the United States for tanning into fine
shoe leather. etc. This trade appears
to be in the hands of French commits
sion merchants, but American import
ers might through their own buying
agents secure their supplies at much
lower price. To preserve the skins
from damage by moths in summer,
dealers use powdered naphthalene,
which they sprinkle over them while
they are being stacked. For export,
the skins are baled in small presses.

On Bedioe's Island in New York
harbor where the Bartholdi statue of
Liberty Enlightening the World now
stands, is still pointed out the spot
where Gordon, the SLAYER, was hanged
in 1862. His execution did more than
any other one thing to put an end to
the slave trade. John r. Spears, in an
article in Scribner's. says: THE slave
ship Erie, which was captured off the
Kongo on Aug. s. 1860, was brought to
trial. The master of the Erie was
Capt. Nathaniel Gordon. SLAYER of
experience. On the afternoon OF Aug.
7, 1860, he took on board $50 Zone ac-
count says S97) slaves, of whom only
172 were men and 162 grown women.
Gordon was one of those infamous
characters who preferred to carry chill
dren, because they could not rise up to
avenge his cruelties. He was captured
fifty miles off shore and sent to New
York. Here he was brought to trial
as pirate under the statute OF 1920.
The first trial resulted in a disagree
ment Of the Jury. On Nov. 6, 1861. he
was put on trial again and on Nov s.
the case went to the jury. Two hours
later a verdict OF guilty was returned.
On Nov. 80 he was sentenced to die.
Up to that moment no great interest
had been taken in the trial. The slave
ship owners of New York. owing to
the state OF public opinion regarding
the war then in progress. had allowed
Gordon to face his trial without show
ing any activity in his behalf. But
now they used every endeavor to OBJ
tain pardon and then a Communication
of the sentence. But the time had
come when a SLAYER pirate, duly con-
