els Of Spring. Amongst the latter are
the violets, the buttercup and danda-

often flowers underneath the snow. This
beautiful spring flower blooms on the

Hill in Pencader Hundred. A few

The long trial at Snow Hill, Mary
land, which has excited so much inter-
est all over the country, has at last end
ed in the conviction of Miss Lille Duer
Of the crime of manslaughter. The
case from the first was surrounded with
mystery, but there was general feel
ing that Miss Duer would be acquitted.
The equality in social position of both
parties divested the public mnd as
we'll as the mind of the juror of that
bias which sometimes exists in cases
where there is great inequality between
the parties. Miss Duer and Miss Ilearn
were both young, possessed Of great
personal attractions, and occupied high
social positions in society, and between
them in that respect there was no diff
ference in public opinion. This brought
the case before the jury on its own mer-
its. 1t was conducted on both sides by
the ablest legal talents in Maryland,
and the most expert physicians were
called upon for testimony.


1t is doubtful if a case of more gener-
al interest and one more abl y conducted
ever was tried before any Court in that
State. All these circumstances combine
to show that the trial was fair one,
and the verdict of the jury was a Just
one. 1t is true that there was an un-
dercurrent that desired tho acquittal of
Miss Duer, principally perhaps on ac-
count of her youth, her beauty and
her social standing, but before an i'm.
partial jury it must be admitted, that
all these have been swept aside and
Justice blindfolded ip welding her
sword has let it fall upon the person OF
Lille Duer. To her the result is a sad

should result in checking the uprising

so often shown in the actions of one
young lady against another. For Lii.

The bitter hostility of the Republican
to any Democrat is well portrayed in
the venomous spite it exhibits towards
Senator Bayard, because some gentle
men of the Republican party have
openly shown their preference for him as
a Delawarean for President of the

to all criticism. But when the Repubii-
can goes so far as to attempt to make its
readers believe that there were no
houses decorated and illuminated on
the occasion of Senator Bayard's recep-

such want of respect for our people

There are many bills now pending in the Legislature, and the authors of the same urging their passsgc. It behooyes the close legislator and economist to look we'll into everything tonding to or savoring of extrav- agancc before allowing the same to pass and become part of our laws. After some of these obnoxious measures have become laws ' through the caTelessuess of our legislators, it will then be too late 10 apply remedy.

Chief Justice Waite, in delivering the opinion of the Court in the case of George Reynolds, appealed from the Supreme Court of Utah, lays down the doctrine, that while any man may believe whatever he pleases, and practice any religious rite not in con flcr with law, yet he is not justified in q violation of law, simply because he believes the law to be wrong. Otherwise any biga- mist, or other criminal could plead con science as his e-ide to the perpetration of crime, in defiance of law.

BRIBERY seems to be the great
lever of the modern world for the
removal of distractions in courts, in
legislative halls, and, in fact, with
all public bodies. There are men
in all these places whom the people
can trust implicitly; men who will
never betray the interests confided
TO their charge men who can not be
bargained for; but the prevalence or
the crime of bribery is sufficient
evidence of the belief i'm the public
mind, that there is scarcely body
composed of even three men who
will all be found money-proof.
Criminals understand very well that
the prevailing sin of America is the
love of money, and when they get
into "tight pinch they take ad-
vantage OF this weakness. In our

be found, but the attempt was inef-

factories into operation. This need

we were about to start anew on a
