Fending the roll callMr. FOW LLP. : I w3 not In the Senate vbfn this bill was under discussion, and Cida't have an opportunity ot faying anything in rfgard to thf merits of this bill. I regard all bill? of this kind as vicious legislation. It teen s to me the cole object is to create a standir army in Indiana, all tf which I em opposed to ia time of peice. I think there is no necessity of any such lKiä;aticn. .Another objection to this bill ia the! it will require untold earns of racaey fcr the pnrpove of carrvir it into practical r!fc?, 8nd I think it ha for ita object the overawing ar.d intimidation ct a lare class (A people in this country. Taking all thtsa matteis into cirü-ideration, I vote "no." Mr. SMITH, of Jennig, when h'a name was called, ca!d: I have already expressed my cpinion of this bill as a very contemptible tnd vicious measure, and I no w vote "r.o.1 The vote was then announced as abave.

On his further motion it was made a tpecial order fcr to morrow at 10 o'clock. XATICOTICS IX THE TLTLIC SCHOOL". Mr. IIILLIGA83 offered a resolution rfiuesting Mrs. Jojephine IL Nichols to aldress the Senate on the subject of teaching pbyeiolcgy and hygiene in the public scLocls with special reference to the inlinence of narcotics on the human system. Mr. HILL: I have just had a conversation with the lady and ehe says she don't want bat ten minutes' time, and is willing to take that afier the adjournment of the Senate. With that understanding tho resolution was adoptsd. f-'OLPIERS' EXK0I LMEN'T. On ructicn of Mr. MARSHALL the conetitntioBal restriction was dispensed with yeas. 40; nays.. 0 and Mr. Ensley's soldiers' enrollrtent bill S. ;:2 was read the second lime by title, the third time by sections, and passed by yeas Z0, nays 0. Mr. MARSHALL explained: Many old toilers are entitled to but can not obtain persionB becsusd they can not find the required evidence. This bill provides that astencrs ?ball take a list of the soldiers of the fctate when taking the regular a3sessment, ßLd fcrward the list to the Adjutant General cf the State, so that when one soldier wants to lied any other soldier he can readily do eo by writmg to the Adjutant General of the State. If every State in the Union would paa this fcind of a bill every old soldier would be enabled to lind h'u comrade. Mr. IIILL1GAS3: The committee have nnanimcuy lecommended that the hill do y sss It will not cost the people anything tor rxskitg tbe report to the AdjutAnt GentMal. The Assessor take3 the enumeration as t t rastes sreund. ami sends a certiSed copy ti this enumeration to the Adjutant General tf the Siate without expense to anybody. STATE K0ARD OE II EH LT IT. Mr. Bryant's bill 3. 102 to amend Sec3. 1 and 1 of tne act of March 7, 15S1, sstabli3hir jraState IJoard of Health, wis read the third time and parsed yeas, 2; nays, 21. Mr. FRY ANT stated it would make the board to cr.nsist of fiye officers instead of four a Civil Service Reform bill and charge the term cf cilice of the Secretary of th bond M:. ADKISON, explaining his re:;aUve vote, hail no objection to the Democrats turning the Resntlicans out, but did object to adding another trustee. Tnerefore ' hs voted "no." Mr. WILL ARD: There has teen no action in ths Democratic cancus cn this matter. The caucus action two years aero was against charging the State Board of Health. I arnonocf these who believe there should be no politics in an organization of this iind which is simply one for sanitary pnrTctcs. Once it was attempted ia the city of New York to establish a Bsard ot Health as a political organization, and the result was the ward bummers controlled it and made it an outrage upon the people. I don't believe In this proposed change. A caucus has ret demanded it, and as the lasi action in caucus upon this subject was against the changes I vote 'no." The vote was then announced as above. So the bill pS3ed. AFTZRNOON SESSION. II r. to David R. Mnnson for lightning reds placed cn the Insane Asylum seven Tears aco was read the third time, and Mr. THOMPSON and Mr. Fonlke explainjjtteeiilsottieplalci; The Etate ha?

received the work and ths Sfat ought tD pay or iL Mr. FOWLER would not look with favor npon State claim, but this beeo s to oe a Just claim. I hope the good na n aid fame of Indiana will not be tambhed by a refusal to pay any just claim. The bill passed by yeas Z nays 0. Fending the roll callMr. BEXZ, when his name was calle-1. said this was in th Specific Appropriation bill two years a?o, but eicce Senator Fowler hs talked in favcr of lightning-rods. I know it xurut.be an honest claim or he would not vote for it; therefore I vote "tye." Laughter Mr. FAULKNKR. in explanation of his vote, said: I am decidedly opposed to this bill. I don't believe it is just. Another reason i: If any man without authority wtnt to Eüglacd to bay a lightning-rod and put It np. it would ba a d.sgrace to the great name of Indiana to ray the bill. I think it iswerseand more of a disgrace to say we haven't a lightning rod fit to put on our State institutions in this country ; therefore I stall vcta "no," Mr. MAGER: Two year3 a-D when this claim was presented it was put in the öpecific Appropriation bill. I wai agiinst this claim then because I had no time to investigate it, The Senator from Fike wa3 the Chairman of the Committee on Claims. I regard him as a very careful man and one who would rot rrake a recornmendatioa which is not riht. I am Eatisiled if this claim th&uld be brought into the courts of jc;ti e in this State, as all these claims ouht to be brought, tbe State culd mate no good and valid defence against this cla m. The State is able to pay, and tho earne rul that applies in sueu case3 giirtst inii?i!:nl osght to teenfoiced as against ilia State. She ha9 received the beneüt of this -rori There may be sme ouestfl'n &i to the authority ot the person who made tho cd;itnct by allowing the rods to remain on tne huildlDg. The same las should apply to the State a3 to individuals. I vote "aye " Mr. MAY, when his name wes called, said: Trro years ao I w? on the Committee on C a'ras, and I ai not convinced that thfs was a just claim, and I am not coavincad now. 1 do not believe there was ßny pDer to make any such contract, and for that reason I don't believe the State is liable. I vote "no." Mr. SMITH, of Jennings: I am a member oi the Committee on Claims, and as euch I essistcd in the investigation of this claim. We did not investigate it hastily, but wo tcok all the testimony we knew anything about. As far a I was able to I made as thorough an investigation as if I hid b?en trying it as a court, and I am satislled from the investigation made that if 1 had been a Ju'ge cf cou'.t with jurisdiction to abjudicate the claim, from tha 'ame evidenci bafore this committee, a3 a Judge u! the court, I would Lave to decide in favorof the plaintit?'. The State of Indiana has provided no way ty which suit can b? hronght against the State, although ths Consdtutioa prmitf, by enactment, such a proceeding Bat wc Lave no snch enactment, and claimants are debarred from recovering exc?pt by appeals to the Legislature, i bblieve if taU claim were presented t a competent caurt and tiicd npon its merits the claimant would recover. From tht.-jj facts I conclude the claim is just, and I vote "ave." Mr. weih: as cnairmaa of the committee on Claims I will stato that wd give tbls claim a fair and cartful consideration, Rid were very wtli satished that this is a just claim. We acted on the theory if it wa a debt an tndividca! ought to pa7. it is a debt this State ouht to pay. Tns State has r,o right to hide bbmd hr sovereignty. I believe thia is a just claim, and I voe "ave." Mr. WILLARD: I have taken the opportunity to examine this: claim, and I believe it to be just. I consider it an outrage to an honest claimant that he is forced to go to a jurvof 150 men for the purpose of proiecctitK Lis claim. It is found nude: tin provision of the Constitution, referred to by the Stnator from "Jennings, allowing the e3 Ublishrcent of a Court of Claims absolutely impossible in thi3 Stat?, for the reaioa tb.it if such a course ij permitted everyone of the old internal improvement bonds of thi3 State, against which we Lave passed a constitutional provicion, would become enforceable in the United States Court. That has been the öiüiculty in establishing a Court of Claims In this Stnto for many years. I consider it an outrage that peoüle with hcrest claims are forced to come to these todies with pitiful epneals for an appropriation, aad lind gentJemea, through motives cf economy, which I do not question, ft?el constrained to vote against it. As far as this c'aim is concerned, knowing 't to bs ju-3t, I vote "aye.'' The vote was annauncfd as aboye. So the bill pat.ed. niiiow of i:rvi. may. Mr. Thompson's bill 3. 178 to allow 10,O30 to Mrs. Sarah May tor tae payment of a resolution passed in her favor March 3, ISS), was read the third time and failed to p u3 by yeas 22. nays 20. Pe-Bditg the roll callMr. FOWLER: I have not been satisSed that this claim is a ju?t claim due from thn State, and having doubts about it, I ther -fore vote "no." Mr. HILLIGA5S: Two years ago whr-i this bill was befora tne Legislature I resieit t it and fought against it. Since that time f have made tome inquiries about the justice of this claim, and 1 have consaltfd with mea who cuht to know, and I am informed that this I? a just chim, and that ths State of Indicra ought to pay it. I therefore vote je." Mr. JOHNSON", of Tippecanoe: I think it would establish a very dangerous precedent for the Gfncrsl Assembly to allow tbi claim. Any contractor who might have money under his contract might com to tt General Asrembly and demand indemnity. 1 vote "no." Mr. McCULLOUGH: If the committer tad reported the exact facts tbey could g into the jourcals, and our constituency conld see what wc are voting money fcr. The fimp'e etatement of Senators that this is a just claim is no explanation to our constitu ents why this Legislature should vole money ont of tbe State Treasury. I vote "no." Mr. THOMPSON: I was not able to examine into this case. I left that to the Committee on Claims, and when such gentlemen as constitute that committee will come forward and say, after looking through the facts, that this bill should be paid, and when I heard that grand old man sittirg in that

chair say that the State of Indiana cannot i afford to pay her just debts, I vite ' aye." The vote was then announced as above. So the till failed to pass. LIFE TIME COXVI TS. Mr. HOOVER'S bill S. 2olj to prescribe thirty years term for life-time convicts less the time earned by good conduct, was read the third time. Mr. CAMPBELL, of St. Joeph: As the bill now stands it embraces a material amendn ent made by myself. There has never been any incentive to life time conM'cts for gcod conduct. The bill applies only to theso now la prison, and in the future the jury may convict for a terra of years not less than thirty. The good time may redece that to twenty-tiro years. We ihonld leaves ray of none tor such prisoners. Mr. CAMPBEL.L, of Hendricks: It seems to me if this bill is passed the Warden of prisons may choose to mark down every life convict now in the prison, so they may all be set free. Then we are pssaing a law that ejejjy can guilty cl zuuxdcrwtp tssbee

in rriron lorpenorgh to rount up tbe good tin e under thf prtrnt Jv, may g i free. I don't beheye we ought si hastily topics such & bill. Tte pardoning power can ba exeicieed in all meritorious cases. Toe bill, I think, when printed, will make us appear somewhat ridiculous. I shall vote against iL Mr. YOÜCHE: There is a mistake as to the provisions of the amendment adopted. TheerJect would be to cbang the penalty for murder in tbe fi's dacr; t" a term ot seventeen or eighteen years. I think this principle is vicious in character. It is well known it is in the power of a jury to rind him guilty cf a Ie:ser crime with a lighter puniihmenL Mr. CAMPBELL, of S. Joseph, moved to refer the bill to a precUl committee of three. On motion by Mr. FOWLER the bill was irr!eün!L-!v pstD ired bv yeai 21 na?s 2). Mr. SELLERS movM to recon?ldr ihe vote just taken and to lay thit motion on ti e table.

On motion by Mr. YOUCE1H this motion to postpore was laid on tb.Pt table. On motion by Mr. WILL ARD the further consideration cf tbe moiioa to reconsider was poitpcned till Monday at 2 o'clock p. m.

As loojj as legislative bodies are called upon to vcta for things ef this sort, and as loi g rs members ara seen chancing their votes upon large claims two or three hoirs afterward, so long will tt be charged upon lep'slanve bodies that they are rorrapL Mr. MAGEE: I rise to a point cf order. That is a covert attact upon toe motives of Senators cn this tlcnr who stand as hr;h as the Soator from Gicaon. For one, I repel it s emphatically as I know how. Mr. McCULLOUGH: I impujn no ose's motive?. Bit I expect this hill will pa's ths Seuate, and I proteit that the State of Indiana owe-3 this woman nothing, and the contract between the Stat house Commissioners ai.d her late husbaad shows it. I vote "no." Mr. SHIVELY: I don't wish to appear inconsistent in my vote cn this question. When it was up eome ttme ago 1 voted under a misrepresentation. I vo el against th9 bill when it was my intention to vote for it. 1 now vote for it. I vote "aye." Mr. SMI TU, of Jennings: In casting my vote for this bill I do so with a fall realization ot the duties and responsibilities devolving upon me, and I a?k no ad7ice and accept no criticism from any source or any person, or any Senator on this door or oil this tiocr. The way I cast my vote only concerns the persons to whom I have to answer. I ca.t it honestly and from a conviction of rignt and justice. I vote "aye" for tbl bill. Mr. SMITH, of Jav: Two years ago i made an examination iüto the justice of this claim. I was a menib?r cf the committee which visited the Bjard of State House Commissi jners to inquire this session as to whether this was a just claim, and I became convinced it is nothing more than justice that this Legislature should allow it. Herco I vote "aye." Mr. WINTER: I was very much prejn diced against this claim at the outset. I realize the fact that members and commit tes of the Legislature were not provide i with adequate means of ascertaining wha the facts were, so I tock the trouble to se the S':ate House Commissioners and inquired as to the merits of this claim. I ex amired the original contract and paperend became sitis tied that there were merii in this claim I have consistently voted fo that claim since, and I now vote for it. i vote "aye " Mr. YOUCHE: I have uniforma'.ly vote aairet this claim, and, although I havvoted for s-o:uf of the miuor questions witL .the friends if the claim, I still think tho claim should not be allowed, and there-fore 1 vote "no." The vote was then announced a3 aboe. And to the bill psed. Mr. BRYANT offered a concurrent rsoluticn, which was adopted, anther zing a joint ccmmitice to call the attention of the seyeial Stacs in this Union, with a vi9w of securing a uniform system of laws in all the Stales and Territories on the subject of marriage and divoic. and report to the next General Assembly.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Friday. Feb. 27, 1SS THE J.E.W INSANE K0SFTTAL. The House proceeded to the consideration of the favorable majority report from the Committee ca Ways and Means on the three new Insane Hospitals Completion bill i.3;r the question bfine on tte substitution of the minority report tie page 2'Jjj for tue report of the majority. Mr MOODY: I move to lay the minority report on tbe table. Mr. GOODING I hope the gentlemsn will not insist on that motion as 1 des;re to be heard, as I am aloce. Mr. MOCDY: As the gentleman has incorporated his speech in his report, 1 insist ca my motion. The motion was asreed to. The question bsiLg, shall the bill pass to a third readingMr. GOODING: My minority report recommends the stopping of work oa these two supeitlnous buildings. I do not propose to play bad faith with the contractors, but I want to pay them for the work they have done and quit. These two asylums are not ntccary, Ifcey are not needed, acd will be a

heavy and nnneff s?ary expense continually An effort hm ben made nere to make the number of icfiane cf Indiana larger than it i?B in orderto put through this scheme I should not have talked this lone, but for the act of the gentleman from DaKalb (MrMoody) who has been so mysteriouslv connected with this bill. There are but bOO Ineane in Indiana outside of Indianapolis, and the Evansville Hospital will accommodate them. If not, increase the Evansville and Indianapolis Aslyums some, and save a million dollars to the taxpayers of the State. Mr. TAYLOR: I think my friend from Hancock (Mr. Gocdirg) has not examined very carefully into the figures. The gentleman, by his own remarks, pnts his own opinion as to these asylumns against every otfcer member on this tl oor, and then puts an imputation against all who disagree with him. He should be practical. A portion of the work on the buildings has been clone. It is not a matter of economy with the gentleman. I! the State does not pay for the care of tb.es? infane the county must in the Alms Hocies. Bo the money comes from the tsipajer after all. These peop'e must b9 provided for. Why wa3 that SOX) 000 loan made cr authorised the ether day if not to Py for these buildings? The bill was ordered ecgro;?sd. MEDICAL LEGISLATION. The bill S. IS to regulate the practice of medicine coming ur

Mr. PENDLETON moved to amend that liysicians write their prescriptions in the luglish language only. He said: There can be too much quacktry accomplished under this system physicians have of the of foreign term. Mr. PASSAGE. Thegentl?mau is talking of eomethiLg he knows nothing about. Some medical terms bave no i-ynonyca in.'the English language. Mr. MOUK, of Wvne: I move to amen 1 eo that license may be granted thoe who have attended "three" courses of lectures instead cf "live" course!. I mate this motion because ths Specal Committe?. cf which I was a member, had not time to properly examine it. On motion by Mr. PASSAGE the amendment was laid oa the table. Mr. WILSON: I move to amend by striking out in the riret section the word3 "this State," and inserting the words "United Stat93." HeB.aid: I do this b?cause there are a number of men past the meridian of lif, competent physicians, who graduated at Ru;h College, and who have practiced ten years, but not ten years in this State. Mr. McHENRY: If any bill is to pass relative to medicine, this bill a3 it comes from tbe Senate must go through. I, fcr one, wish to protect the people, and will vote for the Senate bill or it is. On motion by Mr. PASS IGE, the amendment was laid on the table. Mr. DEEM : I move that farther consideration ot tbe bill lie on the table. Mr. PASSAGE: I move to lay the motion cn the table. The latter motion was agreed to. AFT LUNUoN c'KSSION. M-S0I.MN; A C OKI ORATION. Mr. TAYLOR, from tbe Committee on Juoiciary, reported back the bill 3. 025 authorizing the dissolution of the Eastern Indiana Agricultural, Mechanical and Trot tiDg Association, recommending that it pass. Mr. HAREELL offered an amendment that the bill embrace ether corporations. Mr. MOODY: The gentleman from Franklin (Mr. Harrell) made that move to break down the bill, although it was closely scrutinized and passed the Senate. There are twelve men interested in the bill and but one man opposes it. and that one man will not be injured. It is mere contrary ism. Mr. LÖYD: Tnis one man who obj?ct9 was before the committee; they heard his grievance and thy recommended the passage of tne bill. I move the amsndmeut lie on the- ttb'.e. The motion was agreed to. TUR PEFKTr.seY üilu Mr. D1TTEMORE, from tbe Con'erence Committee, reported back the Deficiency Appropriation till H. R. 327 with the result of the f nil Conference Committee. The report of the committee was concurred in. TOWN OKI'Or.ATION. Mr. Gooding's bill H. R. O't to provide for tbe incorporation of towns and for the election ot oriicers came up on eecond readic . Sir. McGOYNEY moved to amend that any qualified voter ba allowed to vote as to whether the city be incorporated, instead of heRds of families as stated in the bill. Tho amendment was agreed to. Mr. l)EEt moved to amend that the number of Trustees be not lefs than three nor more than feven. He believed that larger towns should have a larger representation. Mr. GORDON hoped that the amendment would net prevai.l Tnre9 Trustees are quite enough. These men govern large counties with large improvements gO:ng on. Mr. HAREELL: I am incline! to think the amendment should prevail. So often the Trustees pay no attention, receiving little or no pay, and very orten they failed to attend meetings. If you have more Trustees you will be more apt to have every meeting represented and the property will be closely gaarded. Mr. PATTEN : To have but three Trustees cives too much power in three men's hand 4. Give the people a fair representation. The a nendment was rejected. The bill was then ordered engrossed. NSG3T öi:on. WKI'.Hr? AM) MlSrT.F..S. Mr. LOYI), from a minority of the Com ir.ittee on Agriculture, presented a report on Mr. Helm's bill H. R. 131 regulating weight and measure, recommending an amendment ttat corn on the cob be sixty-eiht pounds to the bushel instead of Beventy pounds. Mr. SMITH, cf Tippecanoe: I represent a corn-growing district, and I believe it should be sixty-eight pound?. The- Ohio Legislature recently passed a law making it sixty eight pounds. Mr. PENDLETON thought that it should remain fceventy pounds. He was not here to antagoni.s the farruer, but they could not lese by it. Tte price would be so much more per bushel. Mr. PATTEN: I am opnosed to the legislation against farmers. They have little erough now. The amendment should prevail. It can do no harm. Mr. HELMS: It skeins to me that there aie a great many farmers here to night. I, too. am a farmer was one twenty six years of my life. I do not believe that at seveoty pounds for a bushel the farmerj will be hurt. The farmer gets piv for the poundi he tsiea to market. The amenument was agreed to. Tte till wss ordered eugrs:ed.

From time to time, says the London J Stardaid, the snnals cf tbe polica court3 re veal domestic commonplace tragedies as revoltingly horrible as the moltrn French school of realistic novelists could desire for tte framework of their unromantic remacefs. Now and agcin the social veil is drawn aside, and we are permitted to behold pictures cf homes without aiTVction of inhuman callousness upon a background cf squfior. Fjgurra il it crove the tcece in trpfbapecf men and women, the prcdact of centuries ot civilization, but when tt.ov ttme to eptak we perceive that tl n; mcre.l sensi is eloaded in a daTkness as cf bfijbarism. Ihry e?em hardly to know right frcm wrorg; thn are equally slramzjrs to iovitg kicdre rs, to the twice-blessed quality tf mercy, r.nd to tbe instinct of lamily luve A strarpe, and in its way terrible, tt; ry of every day rxnsery, sin, repentance, &cd unfcrgm-anfH wss brought to light ut Wef t Ham cn Thursday. A mere child, already a mother, a girl of fifteen, with her baby in her arras, appeared before the magistrate charged with stealirg a rag of a Fhawl. tbe property of her father. The mother stepped into the witnes3-box, and with glib tongue told the story of her daughter's shame ard crime, calliDg lor the punishnipnt of the law. On the previous Tuesdsy she had missed the garment, and tinding at the same time that tbe.girl tad decamped from what these people call their home, she followed her up, in company with a policeman, and gave her in charge. At Erst the child-motner denied the theft, tut afterward confessed to bavirg taten and pawned tMe shavl, and in proof thereof handed the duplicate to the constable. So far there is nothing remarkably cut of the common in this conventional revelation cf a degraded aspect of existence In a great city. The Registrar General' annual returns give the exact number, for every current ear, of girls under sixteen, not being married women, who are yet me then?; nor is it particalarly unusual to tird parents, in a ertaln rank of life, yublicly charging their children with theft. Yet, if not without parallel, such a cte as thi j at We?t Ham is, bappilv, rar and exceptional. When the prosecutrix had told her story, and before the Magistrate could Intervene, the child bereelf a mother cried out piteously from tbe deck, "Mother, do forgive me! ' To which tte mother replied. ' No. I can't; I have done to too of ;en." Probably the woman was even then not without pom justification. Manifestly her child had behaved very badly. The girl, however, not to be put off, aud, as it appeared, deeply and truly reptntant, Eobbed forth: "Oh, do forgive ire. mother, and I won't do it any more." Stiil the woman was obdurate. She coulu TiOt and would not extend Titrdon to her Hosh and blood. "Oh, do try me once morel ' cried the girl; bnt the prosecuting witness was not in a forgiving motd. "No," said she, addresing her child, last Saturday week jou took a eheet;" and, turning to the Magistrate, added: "She goes from home and stays away days together, and is sometimes out all night.'' The humane Magistrate, touched with the pathes of the scene, added his persuasions to those of tbe prieoner. ' I think it would be better if jou give her another chance," said he, and the girl chimed in, "Yes, mother, do forgive me " Still her parent would not give way. She had called down the punishment of the law upon her offspring, and did not mean vo relent. The m?gistrate, bound to administer the law, yet anxious to blend mercy with justice, thought of iciuiiiag whether the father was present in court. Thereupon that person ttepped forward. According to bis acciunt the child was past his control. He was ashamed of hr and ashamed to own her. She, poor ere atme, made no reply nor attempted any defense, but only sobbed, "Oh, father! ' Ev dertly pained and puzz'ed. tin msgistrete ordered the man to stand down, and, addressing the prisoner, asked iur whetnsr she would prefer that he should settle the ca?e, cr that sts shoold be sent for trial. The child no doubt heard the words, but mcst likely failed to grasp their meaning. She thought that punishment or pardon lav with tbe woman that here her, not with the Court. "Oh, mother, do forgive me! Won't you forgive me, mot her? Oh! d--, do forgive me this time. Oh! sir, do forgive me; ch, do!" Such an appeal from a girl-mother, however much ehe may have erred, must have sotened hiarts not made of adamant. Hardpressed what to do, in face of the parentproitcutor'j obduracy, the magis'rate eskeJ tte prisoner: "Will you go into a home? ' Ar.d for all answer this repentant, unpardoned sinner said: "I would rather go home to my father and mother, eir." There stood tr e father and motner, inveterant against their olTspring, as Shyloc before tbe f signed couit at Yenice; but there was no pre'ended advocate to put a. gless upon the law and Enatch mercy by a ruse. The parents did not choose to paidon their child and take her tack to tbeir home the least said about their hearts the better and tbe magistrate wisely, mercifully, and prudently refused to conyict then and there. He nd his privilege of remand, and consequently the last act of this commonplace tragedy Is not yet played cut. Let ns hops that when next the girl Eva Walker, a?ed sixteen, and with r child in her arms, is brought np before kir illy Mr. Phillips at tbe West Ham Police Court, her parents will likewise be present, and beg Ler release on the prormsethat they will look after her and try to lead her back to the right path.
