A young lady who found a package
OF love letters that had been written
to her mother by her father before
they were married. The daughter
saw she could have some sport and
read them to her mother, substitute
ing her own name for that OF her
mother and fine young man for that
OF her father. The mother jumped
up and down in her chair, shifting he r
feet, and forbade her daughter to have
anything to do with him. When the
young lady handed the letters to her
mot her to read, the house became so
still that one could hear the grass
grow in the back yard and the bed
tick in the next room.

"W hat good does a college educa-
ton ever do MANI" is u question
often asked by those who have been
unfortunate enough not to have had
the advantage, says an exchange.
The answer is simple enough. 1t does
everything for him. 1t makes OF him
q man, If he has had the natural men,
tai cap! city to grasp the opportunities
held out him. 1t may be that Latin,
Greek and calculus are not used very
much in ordinary business careers,
but neither is muscle. What he is
taught these things for il to broaden
out his intellect-they are dun bbells
to the brain. A college education
puts finishing touch to tie young
man that can never be acquired in
any other manner. A raw, untamed
youth when he enters; he comes out a
polished, intellectual man. He is
fitted to begin his later career with
every advantage at hand. His mind
has been trained to study not only
books but conditions, and he is able
to grasp situations with all the greater
alacrity. The college bred man, other
things being equal, has material
advantage over the unframed man.
The young man who has the opportu-
nifty to go to college and does not,
makes the error OF his life.

THE SECOND FARCE.

1t will not surprise any intelligent person
TO read that Powers has been found guilty
and sentenced to the state prison for life.
Indeed, any other result would have been
surprise 1t was intimated early in the
trial that Powers might be acquitted in or
der to show that the proceedings have been
impartial, with a view of having. a reason
able pretext for demanding Ex-Governor
Taylor. Such a proceeding would have
made it necessary to acquit Taylor, because
he must be convicted upon the same evil
dence that has been presented for the con-
viction of Powers. Even the CantriIl court
is able to see that it would not do to con-
Wet one man and acquit another upon the
same evidence. Those who have followed
the testimony in this case must have noted
that all the testimony upon which Powers
has again been convicted was hearsay, and
indefinite hearsay at that. Even the testi-
mony of the indicted men who testified in
the expectation of being granted immunity
if they should convict Powers was quite as
vague hearsay. An impartial court
would not have convicted a man of petty
ldICely upon SuCH Irrelevant ttSllLlOuy dS
that which sends Powers to the peniten-
tiary for life. Judge Cantrill, who presided.
would not trust the case to any other judge
for fear he would not try to convict. Every
man on the jury was a Coebel Democrat,
every effort to secure men of other parties
being ruled out by Cantrill The jury was
selected to convict, and it would have been
just as well and less a farce to have con-
victed Powers before taking the so-called
testimony. The second trial of Powers was
even a greater travesty upon justice than
the first. There has been no change in the
purpose of the prosecutors since the first
trial, even if there is less feeling over the
matter on the part of the public. If ex-
Governor Taylor should be surrendered he
would be convicted without evidence as has
