It oilers a roa.lbed fully eiuiped for Iravoling vehicles without money and with .,,,,1 price. Against the generous aid it gives to transportation all the schemes of bulls and la-aw ran do nothing. Looking over f:icts hroiiu'lit forward by the press in different Im'.-ilities, the part tli.-it the Mississippi river and iU tributaries are destined to play in the immediate future of thu roininerce f the coiinlrv is a most striking and important on. Among lhos; facts we find mentioned the following: 1 hiring last year 15,7ti2,fiiiH hiishels of grain were shipped by Water to New Oilcans, while the railroads running i.Mslward from St. Iiuis carried only y.7: J ,r01 bushels since January 1st the river carried 2,-2'.tS,2!H'. bushels, against 1,08,774 Uu-dielx carrieil eastward bv railway. To carry a bushel of grain from St. Louis tn Liverpool by way of Xew Orleans has cost 17c; by railway through New York, 20 Jc; from St. Paul to Liverpool by way of New Orleans the mst is 27c a bushel; byway of New York, -12.5c. At the jettie is now found rt plcntiliil choice ol vessels, winch arc promptly loaded by eight floating elevators, A short lime ago the New York Journal oj i'inm:rce assured its eastern readers - that tin-re could lie no fear of more than a tem porary and partial diversion of the grain trade from that city to New Orleans, for the shipping could not le diverted to that citv, which could ofl'er no inducement! to desert New Yorfc. Now, however, we see it atated that the facilities fill'ered by thu Mississippi river have l:ft tiie shipping at New ork and Philadelphia more or less idle, anil at the former port veosels are leaving almost daily in ballast for Now Orleans to obtain cargoes. That great prospects are opening upon the Mississippi trade in evident, nnd is no less evident that the east views the progress of that trade with a very malevolent eye. There will lie every obstruction and opposition brought fnrn"J that is potunible, especially when congicra Is applied to for appropriations for iinriv!? the navigable condition of the .Mississippi, lor all of whicl the people of the Mississippi must be pre pared, determined to secure for the wes' urivileees that have been liountifiillv show ered noon the east.

A Cambridge, one of the most ancient of the seats of learning, she has asserted her capac ity at examinations conducted with iitiRwerv ing tiilelitj, laTiiug the highest rank among the students. Only three years ago she was admitted to instruction in Kings college. Tendon. and already five hundra: students have since that time studied biblical and church history there, the ancient and modern languages, highe1 mathematics, secular history, and logic and poI i tical economy. . The professions are be- ing opened to women, and the feeling is growing strong every day that she is entitled to have her share in the government of the Stale. She is now serving on school boards and poor-law hoards, and is leading in many of the art industries. She is thus disprov ing the cruel and nnjust estimate of her men tal capacities so long perpetuated to her in jury and that of the race. In our own country the same may lie said. Some of the greatest of the leading minds have espoused . I he cause of woman, and are thus making " iut,nuii tiiniei me summit" ur tire Zenana idea of her capacity and worth. In art and science she has given leaders and thousanc'a of worthy disciples, and many of the best in dustries acknowledge her skill, and above all her conscientiousness. Her gains are stead ily iu the direction of ultimate Buccess. In ' the educational field she is well nigh supreme llcury Ward licechcr, in his recent lecture at Nashville, says she ought to lie. "We know enough," he says, "nlso to kuow that teachers ought to be women."

Women in the household have been great moral agencies for good. In the world they have tiicreasetl their x)wen in that direction. Tli. -y lose nothing of their purity by labor, but gain in strength, and when technically fitted prove themselves deserving of the ut most stretch of confidence. The emancipa tion and advancement of women is one of the best signs of the times. The more their power for good is increased, the more the world will profit, and the better it will lie for s-a-ial order and the improvement of man kind. Thk author of the i-'ooT Errand Judge Tourgee, of North Carolina is not now in that business, as he evidenced a few 'days ago in a lecture delivered at the I'niou Is-ague clu'i, New York, when he ioke in favor of tiie enlai-j-ement of the eliieatinnJ means of the south, lie took the ground that the north is in duty bound to aid in ed ucating the colored people of the south, siuce it shared iu the advantages of slavery, and that it is really an nut of meanness to throw the entire burden on the south. At the Con clusion of his address, resolutions declaring the necessity of educating the illiterate col ored voters of the south and indorsing Judge Toiirgee's views were unanimously adopted. Thk radicals of England are moving in earnest. They mean to curtail the privileges of the lazy dmues who are supported by the State, including the sons and daughters and nephews and nieces of royalty. Mr. Joseph i'owen, the radical member for Newcastle, ban given notice that he intends at the ear liest opKrtunity to move for the alxdition of the perpetual iiensions, and Mr. llradlaugh threatens to introduce, when he gets his seat, amotion for cutting down the annual grants Ui iiiemlH-rs of the royal family. When I his is done, the next step will be to aladish the house of lords, the state church, the laws of primogeniture and entail (greatest, curse of alii, and then will come a federal republic.

Houghton and two or three others called on Conkling, but they refused to give any opinion for pub lication in regard to the contest.

A member of the State committee living outside of the city, who called npon Conkling yesterday, and afterward talkrd with a Tiilmne reporter, wan very bitter in his denuiiciatiidis d "THAT MAS FROM MAINE."

The question whether or not the legisla ture will be compelled to remain in session and ballot continuously tor senators until the successors to Conkling and Platf'are chosen was discussed yesterday by the adherent of the administration and of the ex-seuatora. In case of a dead-l tele two courses seem to lie open. ( ne is for the legislature to adjourn with the understanding that the governor will call an extra session late in September or early in October, when balloting may la resumed; or to have no extra session, and to b'dow the vacancies to lie tilled hy the legis lature to be chosen in November. The dan ger of the latter course is that in many as sembly and senatorial distrh-ts there would he two sets of Republican candidates, and that the next legislature might be PeiniH-ratic. This is a coiiline.e'ucy which the administrar turn memliers 1"J'T uke to contemplate, and it is doubtful if they will agree to ad- iouril. unless thev have the assurance of the governor that he will call them together again. The suggestion that a recess shall be taken for three or four months is met by a statement that it would endanger the legali ty of the election of the senators, and this is another riskr that it s not deemed advisable to take. A speech from Cockling is expected during the week. A MUklwari Krlieme Tor l'o.toiemriit. Ai.basv, May liO. The suggestion is made in tome quarters that the legislature lake a recess until after the November elec tion and then come together again and vote for senators. It is said that then the mem liers cau vote more independently of the in fluences .which now govern them, for the reason that they would know the disposition of their constituencies toward them. If they were renominated and re-elected then they could undcrslaud that their respective positions, uow in question, were approved. It" they are nat renominated or not elected they can vote in accordance. This plan is at tributed to the stalwarts. . The administra tion supporters claim that this proposition is entirely insullicient. They say they do not want to consider any plans just now. All they want is a vote in joint session no cau cus, no plans, no machine contrivances what ever. IK (VNKLlStl AS!)

The husband and wife renewed the quarrel, and the sister occasionally heard the wife tapping on the floor with her foot. Soon after she heard a pistol-shot, followed by a heavy fall upon the floor. She ran up stairs screaming and calling to her brother. The parlor door was locked and she ran to the back stoop and looked in at the window. At this moment she saw her brother raise a pistol to his head and fire; The screams of the girl brought her mother to the spot, but they were unable to get into the room until an officer living near and off duty scabd the fence and broke open the door.

The Correspondent or tbe 3iew York Timet OITers an Kxplanalion. New York, May 30. A Washington cor respondent, who has prepared for publication iu the 1mm the histories of certaiu star routes ; nd a description of star service, furnishes another installment. The corre spondent explains that be is not stating the government's case in his stories. He says: "They rest upon tbe records contained in the books of the department, which have beeji carefully examined, and upon statements of persons residing in Washington and else where who were intimately acquainted with the circumstances of these records, and these statements may play their part in the legal proceedings which will take place; but they are not government cases. The evidence gathered for use in the court is different in its nature from that which appears in thes histories, although it may be supplemented by facts Contained iu them. " Facts and cir cumstances are presented in the histories which can lie satisfactorily explained only upon the hypolhe.-is of bribery and collusion between the contracters and gov ernment officers. The government case will, it is believed, contain unmistakable evidence that such crimes were committed. This evi dence, which is continually accumulating, is withheld from the public until the time shall come for its effective use. Descriptions of transactions of the contract bureau, as re vealed by the books anil papers in daily use in the department, may convince the public that millions of dollars have been stolen and given to favorites, and that the guilty per sons ought to be in the penitentiary. These recorded facts may not besullicient, however, to insure conviction in a court, as there may be some links missing which, under the law of evidence, would be necessary for success ful prosecution. These links otlicers of the government will undertake to supply in the government's case. Jt may be that cor respondents and others can occasionally fur nish some material out of which to lorge these links, but it should be understood that the government gives to no one except offi cers of the law the evidence upon which i I relies for conviction." lIIItLE 1CEYI.MOV. AtllreH from lr. Krhafl. of Ihe Ameri ran fieri ion of the Commission. PiTTsui'Rfi, Pa., May 30. Pr. Phillip Schaff, chairman of the American Section ot the Jiible Ifevision committee, addressed a large audience here yesterday nit the Ivevised New Testament. After briefly reviewing the ditlerent translations made from time to time, the speaker said that for titty years there had been a growing demand for a new translation. The reasons for such a revision are two. Firstji hanges in the language; and second, the progress iu biblical scholarship. Every living language changes from time to time. Certain words have changed their meaning to the direct oposite formerly ex pressed, such as "prevent" used in the sene "precede," "let" for "hinder," "carriages" for "baggage," "by and by" for "forthwith." The root important reason, however, is the growth of knowledge. The forty-seven men who made King James's translation had none of them been in Palestine, and kiivw but littleof biblical geography. Thev were thus liable to make mistakes, and did make many. Kince, Kgypt has given up her treasures, Minai has been explored, Palestine traversed, Babylon and Nineveh risen from their graves, to testify to the truth of the bible and lend their uianucriU and inscrip tions to an explanation of some of its pas sages. Older manuscripts, since discovered, have been used in the present revision and many actual errors rectified. "Strain at a gnat" has been changed to "Strain out a gnat," and a great many such typographical errors corrected. Two words in the original w.-re both translated "hell"' in King James's version, "hades," meaning the abode of Bonis after death, ami "gefienna," meaning the abode of the damned. In the revision this has been corrected. Ko also has the distinc tion between the devil and the demon been brought out. The division into chapters, first made by a Roman Catholic cardinal iu the thirteenth century, and that into verses, first made by a Paris publishing house in the sixteenth century, have lieen done away with, and the text divided according to ihe sense. The italicised passages, v, here they w ere unnecessary and weakening to the sense, have been discarded. Tbe St. I,onJi Corner on Corn. St. lOi is, May o0.

In an address In-fore the Ilrooklyn Pres bytery, Rev. J. M. Sherwood said: '"It is well to bear in mind that the religious week ly is no longer the sole or chief paper that is read hy ministers and church members The daily secular press has invaded the Held, and is already omnipresent, and almost the power it once was; its opinions have little weight; its policy and principles scarcely affect the religious thought and life of to day, while the daily secular press is fast taking its place, and gaining the ears and hearts of the people, and making its way in to every household every day of the week, not excepting even the Sabbath; full of infor mation; ready in discussion; fearless, almost unbridled m criticism, reviewing every cur- ence ot our comparatively leeuie ami shackled religious weeklies. The change is as marvelous a it is sudden. It was easy to philosophize upon the causes which have produced it, but it is impossible to forecast the efiecu of it on the religious sentiments and character of the next generation. The' fact, however, suggests tremendous possibili ties." Nearly all the great dailies in this country now publish Sunday editions, contain ing not only the current news, but original and selected matters bearing upon all the lead ing topics of the time. These topics, sacred or secular, are discussed from the journalistic or popular standpoint. The discussion is not always profouud, and necessarily cannot be exhaustive; but it is intended to be, and gen erally is, bright, forcible, intelligible and impartial. It is not for the highly educated few, but the moderately educated many; and its brevity and clearness commend it to them as mere length and learning would utterly fail to do. The consequence is that nine tenths of what the leople know concerning the most interesting and important questions of the day is derived from this source. A great newspa-ier nowadays represents great capital. Iu proprietors, setting principle aside altogether, caunut all' ml to weaken any of the healthy restraints which wisdom and experience have imposed upon society. They have their all at stake upon the public peace and prosjierty, and those can not exist when the restraints are moved. tfefaVesTdkangcr'to'" 'socrety "ftefVS-M ignorance of the many making them the willing tools of the few the popular educa tion which modern journalism provides is a protection to the social structure. Itstrength ens its weakest point, the foundation, by rendering perilous popular delusions, if not impossible, at least short-lived. It teaches the people not only to do their own thinking, but to stand guard over themselves. It is at once, "guide, philosopher and friend," and may be safely trusted in the most critical emergencies. Modern journalism is not faultless by any means, but its faults are of the head rather than of the heart, and sel dom very serious. If the fault-finder Would only search for and point out tlieir merits, they might help to cure much of which they complain. C'OTTOS SEEI Oil,. How Ihe t'renrh and Italians Fool with Onr Own Frodnrl. In Communications tq the state department from Consul Oould, at Marseilles, France; Consul Hooker, at Rome, Italy, and Consul Crosby, at Florence, Italy, show the rapid incease in the importation of cotton-seed to those countries from the United States, and the consequent development of a iiew branch of industry in this country. Consul tiouhl, writing from Marseilles says : "The imports of cotton-seed oil are growing more and more extensive at the port of Marseilles. Until the year 18ii'.', importations of cotton seed oil were very small, and entirely pro vided by English crushing factories. The fact cannot be concealed that the gi eat favor granted to American seed oils, when properly purified, arises from the fact that they are en tirely tasteless, and pan be mixed with other eatable oils without offering any chance for detection other than that they congeal at a higher temperature than the pure olive oil. This inconvenience has been remedied in a measure, and samples of American oil have lieen received that, owing to certain processes, keep their purity and fluidity at a tempera ture as five degrees below zero Centigrade. The following figures will give an idea of the advance made by the trade iu the years aud 1S80: - From the United .States. Barrels. isso .Hl.lii! 1M9 .st.air From England. Itarrels. is.sjii ii. an Toial Barn-Is. 5.-..i..' :M,.v.is Iinerence...ll,-U7 7.5S7 ls.lkM The customs statistics in France only take account of tbe last port of shipment, and it may be assumed that a large priqiortiou of the oil quoted as imported from Kngland is American oil shipped from the United States to Marseilles by way of England and tran shipped in some English port. Yice-Consul-(ieneral Hooker, at Rome, says: "The Ital ian chamber of deputies have just approved a bill increasing the duty on cotton-seed oil, pure or mixed wi.h other oils, from six to twenty lire per quintal. The same act also fixes a tax of fourteen lire per quintal on cotton-seed oil made in Italy. The bill has been referred to the senate for confirmation. As showing the growing importance of the American trade in cotton-seed oil with Italy, I may add that, according to Italian statis tics, the imports of cotton-seed from the United States amounted in ISSO to 213,754 quintals." Consul Crosby, at Florence, ad vises the department as follows: "During the past three or four years im mense quantities of cotton-seed, both in the crude stale and as cotton-oil, have been imported from the United States into Italy, and . Italian merchants have mixed the pure olive oil and reshipped it to the United States and also to Kngland as pure olive oil, realising therefor enormous profits. So great has been this adulteration that within the past year this nefarious operation has reacted upon these Italian merchants by many English and American buyers declin ing to make further purchases; and, though last year the oil crop was not a large one in Italy, there is on haud now, at ditlerent ship ping ports, large quantities of the so-called 'pure olive oil' awaiting purchasers. So serious has become this system of adultera tion among the Italian oil merchants, along the Mediterannean coast esjiecially, and in Tuscany that a deputy in the Italian par liament has already introduced a bill levying a heavy duly upon American cotton-seed and oil (fourteen lire per quintal for the manufactured oil ), besides the six lire already placed ujion it."

The reg ulation distance between the files (eight feet) was very generally maintained, aud in sev eral instances excellent and uniform riding at various points alone the line drew out round alter round of applause from the spec tators. SAYAXTS IX ('OllSClI The American x-aiinte of Mining En gineers at htannton, n. Staunton, Va., May 30. The American Institute of Mining Engineers met hereto-day, William .Metcalte, ol 1 lttsburg, president. The institute was welcomed in the opera house, first by Mavor Hal this, and then bv A. 11. II. Stuart, secretary of the interior under President Filinore, who spoke on be half of the citizens. He alluded to the re markable accomplishments of the engolista and mineralogists of the day, and in speak ing of the wonderful strides of science said he well remembered when in 1834 the dis tinguished Dr. Lardner delivered a lecture in England to prove it was absolutely im practicable to apply steam to ocean naviga tion. Unfortunately for the doctor's reputa tion as a scientist and prophet a steamship was the first to bring his lecture to this country. After reviewing the history and pro gress of scientific achievements that have rendered this day and generation conspicu ous, the speaker closed by saying: "Truly we live in an age of progress. When I turn my thoughts from this retrospect of tbe last half century, and venture to look to the future, my mind is dazzled by the brightness of the pictures whicl. rise before it, and I am forced to exclaim: who can venture what the next half century may bring forth? Whatever it may be I hazard nothing iu predicting that no small part of its achievements will be due to the men of your profession. Permit me, then, to thank you iu advance for what I am sure you will accomplish, and again to ten der you, in behalf of my fellow-citizens, a cordial welcome to our city." IS1.AXD 35. The Water Subsiding- Crops Looking Favorable Churches and Schools. From an Appeal Correspondent. Island 35, Tipton Co., Tens., May 30. Having concluded that doubtless you would not object to a communication from this part of old Tennessee, I have concluded to give you a few items concerning the present prosjiects of tra le and traffic oh this well known spot known as Island 35. You are aware that the country on both sides of the Mississippi has been submerged in water, while we have enjoyed peace aud tranquility, with but one or two exceptions. The bayous throughout the island have been overflowed, insomuch that transportation became an im possibility until the river began falling, which is subsiding rapidly. Agricultural pursuits are going on at a lively rate, the chief product being cotton. The crops gen erally look favorable, considering the back wardness of spring. The stock are in good condition, with a -jew exceptions, and every thing looks forward to a liountiful harvest. Educational matters have become an object of interest, two schools being in full blast. They are comparatively small, owing to the amount of labor to perform. .t tb,e expira tion of the crops we anticipate an increase. The scholastic population is now over sixty, ample enough to sustain two schools. The inhabitants generally are of a social disposi tion, kind and accommodating, and are try ing to improve their lands as well as the minds of their children, which they will never regret. The inhabitants of the east and lower portion of the island have erected a new school house and church, and furnished a very desirable pump in connection with it, and have succeeded in obtaining splendid water. The school house is situated on what is called Deep plough, one mile west of Mr. G. W. Pennel's residence. The interest they have manifested shows that they mean busi ness, and are de(ermine to carry it out to the very .letter, The island supports two magistrates and one constable, The people are so civil they are compelled to resort to other pursuits fur a livelihood. AuATE. An Incident of the New Testament vision. Among the numerous changes made in the revision of the New Testament was the ex punging of the miracle in reference to the stirring of the pool of Bethesda. A gentle man residing in Philadelphia, and claiming to know the facts connected with the omis sion, explains why it was made. It wagdone becau.se, from the documents ifl the possession of tiie two, pomtnHtees, there was reason to believe tlut the story was spurious, and had been unwarrantably inserted in the transla tions of the original. The part omitted reads: "For an angel went down at a cer tain season into the pool and troubled the water; whomsoever then first after the troubling of the water stepied in it was made whole of whatsoever disease he had." The stirringof the waters, which in the early days of the church had been ascribed to su pernatural causes, constantly occurs at a spring iu Kissengen, Germany, and is due to natural conditions, the medical proiertiet of the spring are strongest when at a ie- r iodic time the surface of the water is stirred by a curious tfferveseuce resembling the ac tion of boiling. It is believed that from such a spring originated the insertion pf the alleged miracle in the New Tes.tamen,t. 1 - ft ad Snieide at HU Lout.

A NYMPH DU PAVE Teaches the So-Called Charitable Peo ple of Philadelphia a Lesson in Christian Charity A Remark able Conrt-Room Scene A Story that Should Shame the People of the Qnaker City Jndge Allison's Castlgation of the -Unfeeling Mauagcrs of Its Char itable Asylums An Intensely . Dramatic Climax. Philadelphia. May 27. There has been before the quarter sessions court of this city for several days a case of peculiar interest, not only from a humanitarian point of view, but because of the charitable dogmas which it has destroyed. Its sudden ending this af ternoon furnished a fittingly dramatic cli max to one of the saddest picture of our so- called civilization that ever was put in words. The facts were that on a cold, snowy morning during last winter a dead child was found in an area in the rear of a tall tene ment house, the tipper floors of which were let out to nightly lodgers. Police investiga tion promptly revealed the fact that a young woman who had eniratred the rear room on the previous evening had given birth to the child, and she admitted having thrown it out of the window, declaring that it was bom dead. The eirl was drasrged from her bed. forced by the police officer to walk down three flights of lairs and to the nearest stationhouse, where :i was at once locked up. Brought before the committing magistrate s few days later, she was promptly . sent to , Moyamensing prison charired with infanticide, and certain ly wonld have been convicted had not two voune lawyers, who were convinced of her innocence, George Haldorn and Lincoln L. Eyre, came lo her assistance. The story of her life is as commonplace as could tie im agined: The prisoner had been living with a song and dance performer in New York named Edward or "Aed" Aaronson, wno, when she was about to become a mother, brought her to Philadelphia and' heartlessly abandoned her. Y riendless and wholly un known, realizing the terrible position in which she was placed, she wandered for days about the streets, until, finally forced by the ravenous and unnatural hunger induced by approaching maternity, she accosted a young eirl on the sidewalk, who gave her a few cents and lodged her for the night. On the following tlay, again cast out upon the ten der mercies of the world, she encoun tered a woman of the town, as the Commonwealth fully succeeded showing, but that her heart was warm the evidence no lew clearly proved. In her company Lizzie Aaronson, as she was called in the indictment, for days sought asylum in some hospital where the dreaded ordeal of . i. i i 'i-i. ... .. : conn iienieni luigm ik ioseu. iuc utmhuuiit of Ida Wilson, the girl who thus labored in behalf of another girl in distress without hope of rewarl,can be briefly summarized as follows: 1 heard ol this Irientlless girl ami asked her to my quarters. They were poor enoimh only one room but such as I hail I tried to cive her. 1 lie stranger passed most of her time in tears, and seemed utterly hopeless. Realizing the importance of med ical aid for her in the hour of confinement, and being too poor myself to procure it for her, I started with her on the second day to tiud such a place. Lizzie Aaronson, the prisoner in the dock, was utterly penniless ha 1 been lelt without a cent. ineu loiiows the story of charity's cold shoulder to actual and evident distress. THE Bl'LES TITAT FORBID, "First we applied at the Nurses Home, or Lying-in Charity, as it is called, at Cherry and Eleventh streets. The matron heard the cose and admitted that it was a desperate one. She then asked if Lizzie could produce her marriage certificate and pay five dollars per week for her board, but when she learned that Lizzie could do neither the one nor I lie other the scene ended abruptly. Thence we went to Honnropathic hospital, b-!t there wag no room for Lizzie's admission. The young physician in charge said she must go to the almshouse. To the Guardiaus of the Poor, then, we went to the office in Seventh street. A clerk told us I must take my companion before Magistrate Pole and ask her commit ment. We went to the magistrate's, but be refused to commit her unless she would give the name of her husband and swear out a warrant for his arrest, so that he could be compelled to pay the county for her keeping. This, after some hesitation as desperate as was her situation she refused to do. I advised her to do so. We next applied at the Home Mission, No. 533 Arch street, in bones of getting Lizzie a lickt t to New York, but the oflicer in charge would not give her one. although she pleaded piteously for it. He finally ofi'ered to sell her one for a dallar. Neither she nor I had so much ninnev. ,.We then went . to- the Young Wo- UJUUH V 11 1 in , 1 .111 UlVtlBl.y (m ..nlU street. The matron said firmly and promptly that she could not do anything for her, as soon as she saw her condition, asked for her certificate and made Lizzie cry bitterly. Finally she said we bad better goto the Sixth Ward Relief association. There we had al most similar experience. Finally we went lo an intelligence office. No. 411 Arch street, in the hope that she might find some kind person who would take her rs a servant under the circumstances. She there met an elderly gentleman, who engaged her, but seeing her condition declined to late tier home, although she begged him to and declared that she would work for nothing long enough after her trouble to cover all the expenses, lie still firmly declined, but expressed his sympathy by giving her a dollar. Lizzie' and I immediately spent this money in food. I had not eaten anything that day, and she not since the morning ot the previous day. When it was top late we recollected that it would have procured the coveted ticket to New York, Then we both felt sorry. But we had been so hungry. At last she returned with me to my room. On several mornings thereafter, seeing that she was a burden to me, as she said, she left, I afterward learnetl that as a lost resort she pledged her small gold ring the only article of jewelry she had left for twenty-five cents anil took- tbe room in which her child was born." This was the last witness for the defense. A .DRAMATIC CLIMAX. District-Attorney Graham stepped forward and addressed the jury. He sMike of the enormity of the oll'ense, the difficulty of proof, and the doubts cast upon the girl's crime by the testimony of the offense. Therefore he thought it wise, and with the advice of the judge, to abandon the rate. There was a hum of surprise in the court. Judge Allison then directed the two girls who had been, called as witnesses, Ida Wil son and Lizsie Flick, to come to the bar. He gave them seats on a raised platform in front of the jury and in full view of the crowded court-room. Having first referred to the remarks made by the district-attorney and commended the wisdom of his course, with deep and evident emotion he thus ad dressed the jury j "Gentlemen,! have called these two girls tn the bar of this court, that you may see them, while I say a few words upon another tihase of this case. This defendant, Lizzie Aaronson, was shown by the testimony of tbe defense to have come to this city an utter stranger, to have been a homeless wanderer on the streets, without money, without friends. In her utter loneliness and friend leanness, driven to seek charity from the passer-by, she accosted this girl here ( pojutinj; to Uzzie Flick), and without hesitation she shared her poverty with her, giving her a share of the money and comforts she possessed. The other young woman (pointing to ldaWilsoii), who, unfortunately, has not led a. correct life, however raqch her moral nature may have been warped in one respect, gave an exhibi tion of practical Christianity of practical Christianity, 1 repeal . witli emphasis when she likewise gave this friend less sister shelter, that would furnish a wholesome example to most of those who are clothed with purple and fine linen. I am sorry to admit that if this pp.or, friend less girl has applied, ta nine out of ten of those very people who compose the wealthy classes she would probably have sought in vain the shelter she received from this des pised outcast. I, tbere'ore, regard this as the time and the pjape to make mention from the bench oi, the kindness of heart dis played by thes- two gitls, and have for that reason dwelt upon, their acta because of the striking contrast which they s fiord to the conduct of tiie so-called charities of this city. It has been clearly shown that this de fendant, in the midst of her wants, and when the critical hour of her motherhood was near, went from one of these so-called chari ties to the other and at each of them sought admission with the evident purpose of giving her child respectable b.irtn. In this laud able desire sh,c was thwarted at every turn in consequence of the various regulations governing the so-called benevolent institu tions, tinder none of which, unfortunately, was she a fit candidate fur admission. At last, alone, in utter squalor, nearly naked, without fire or the most ordinary comforts, amid the darkness of a bitter winter's night, inexperienced and unassisted she gave birth to her child, whether alive or dead the Al mighty and she only will ever know." After an interval, in which the bill ol indictment was passed to the foreman of .he piry, Judge Allison concluded; ' dtrtct that you do ci-uit the jj-isoner." Taken altogether, the scene was one ol the most unusual that ever occurred in any court-room in this country. The bouse was crowded, and, strange to say, nearly every, body stood up, hat in band, as i tt,e benedic tion of the humaqe iudje ;aa asked for all.
