SOME ENIGMAS OF JUSTICE,

DEATH BED ACCUSATIONS. INSTANCES OF FATAL MISTAKES THE CASK OF BABAH GREEN THE SHAWS OF KEITH A Famous German pczzlk which SCHMIDT WAS IT? George M. Towle, In Appleton'a Journal, tells of some remarkable Judicial blunders or perplexities, tbe following among others:' In tbe elements of evidence weighed by tbe courts, none is more grave and conclusive than that of tbe death bed accusation of a victim of foul play. One naturally supposes that such a person, with the near prospect of eternity before hire, will not fasten tbe crime upon an lnnocen- man; and bis deposition is accorded a weight which is rarely given to credible eve witnesses of a crime. Especially strong dos this sort ot evidence become when tbe accused is brought face to face with bfs supposed victim at the bed side, and is then and there sworn to as the real criminal. Yet judicial annals abound with instances in which persons bave been thus accused, and bave suflered the dread result ol such sccu&a'ion, who bave alter wri been proved clearly guiltless. It need scarcely be remarked tbat innocent peisons oiten confess to having committed crimes sometimes for the sake of notoriety, eometimrs to mitigate a punishment which they thiiik certain to be inflicted upon them. As to death be J accusation?, tbe case of Siran Green, in London, is tu the point. Oae night tue girl wa attacked by three men, who had tte appearance ot being Drawers' apprentices. She was taken to the hospital, and while sua was lying there she was confronted by a man named Coleman, a brewer's a-sistant, whom a etranzer, in a qoarrel at an ale house, bad charged with bf ir? concerned in the assault. She at fir-t declined to swear tbat be was one of her assailants, though she expressed a decided opinion thst be was. B)iag Drouth: to ber a second time, bowever, sbe swore pn&itlve!y tbat Coleman waa one of her assassirs. Olf man was, howevtr, set tree on bail: whereupon he fcsrt?ned to conceal bimsell. S;on after tte girl's death be was foand. lie was Icd;c:ei, convicted and executed. Two years alter it was d.scovered that be was wholly innocent, the real er i mir. air. bein fci pretended, and confessing tbat thty did i.os eo much as kaow Coltuiaa by tight. A bimi'ar though yet mere tragic instance ct condemnation on account of an accusation in articulo mortis was tbatot the 8haws of Ke!tb. William Shaw, a laborer, tad a daughter who was in love with a ycurg mn ot whom tbe fatber 6trecacusly disapproved. Ooe day loud words wer beard in the room whera they lived. A't r a qua-rol between father and daughter, Shaw leit the bouse, locking tbe girl in tue room. Not long aitsr, tbe bound ot groans caused the neighbors to break open tut) doer, when the girl was fouud WRITHING I AQOSY on the floor, a bloody knife lying at ber Bide. When asked if ber father bad done the deed, she nodded faintly, and immediately drew ber last breath. Shaw Just then returned, and seemed overcome at tbe sight of his dead child. He was arrested ; blood was found on bis shirt sleeves, which be accounted for as caused by bis oaving bled himself several days before ; but circumstances weighed too heavily against bim, and he was condemned and executed. kme time after, a letter written by toe girl was found in tbe chimney ot the room, stating that she was about to commit suicide, and also containing the word, "My cruel father is the cause of my death." This gave the e'ew to the fatal gesture she had made at tbe moment of expiring, and clearly proved her own guilt and ber father's innocence. The judges of a certain old German town were sadly perplexed ov r a esse which it bcame their duty to solve, and which at first glance seemed simple enongb. A rich but ill tempered and truculent lellow named Ruprecht, a goldsmith, on going one night to a low grog shop, was assailed at tae door, and leli at tbe foot of tbe stairs with a lond groan. Tbe cronies of the den hastened down, to find bim in great distress from a deep wound oa bis bead, lie stammered cut. 'The- villain with tbe axel My daughter, my daughter!" This was bis only child, wh , being married to one Berenger, lived in the suburbs of tbe town. Kuprecfct was taken to the hospital, and the next day revived sufficiently to answer the questions put to bim, though very briefly, and with evident d:iS:ulty. He was asked who dealt bim the blow. lie aid it was Schmidt. What Schmidt was ii? Tbe one who resided in tbe MostStrasse. With what weapon? A small axe. . How did Ruprecht know bim? liy his voice. What was the motive of tbe ' assault? An old quarrel. What was Schmidt's occupation? A wood cutter. The case seemed to tbe judge marvelously simple. He bad only to find a man named Schmidt, who lived in the Most Strasse, and was a wood cutter, to accomplish tbe ends of iustice. Tbe difficulty began when. on the Mo9t-Stras8e beirjg reached, two Schmidts, brothers, and both woodcutters, were found dwelling; there. Yet a third Schmidt, a wood cutter, was discovered: bat be lived In another street, the HobsnJ master, THE BROTHERS ICHMIDT in the Most-Sirasse proved to have long known Ruprecht. They were called "Big" and "Little" Schmidt. Big Schmidt bad nnt innz before been a witness against - Ruprecht in a civil suit. In the dilemma between these 8chmldti, it became lmpoiU ant to ply the wounded man with new qr s ton. Foitanately be was Btlli alive

and In his senses. But It was Impossible for him to utter a word. ' He was asked whether the assailant was Big or Little H'-bmid;. He tried in vain to answer Then be was asked if tbe Hohen-Pfl aster was not the street on which the man lived, when be replied, with a struggle, but emphatically, that it was. Tbe three men ot tbe Implicated name were confronted with Ruprecht, bot he was now so tar gone that be could not open his eyes. The brothers spoke it him, and manltested much feeling. Schmidt, ot tbe Hohen-Pflaster, on the other band, was uneasy and silent. Suspicion now fastened on tbe latter. On searching his premises, tbe bandle of bis ax was found to be bloody. He was known to be a dlsrepntable character. But on examination, though Inconsistent in his statements, be succeeded in establishing an unimpeachable alibi. He, moreover,

accounted tor the blood on the ax entirely to the satls'action of tbe Judge; when tbe brothers were once more brought up, tbey. too. proved alibis which could not te shaken. Then it was discovered tbat there were two ether woolcu'te s named Schmidt, who lived in tbe suburbs. Oae of tbese was employed by Ruprecht' brother-in-law, Barenger. Here seemed tbe explanation of Ruprecht's calling out, ' My daughterl My daughter!" It now appeared that Berenger and bis wile uvea unb8Dnlly together, tbat Kuprecht naa re cently threatened to make a will excluding Bretger from any control over bis property, and that Bereneer, on hearing of the assault, did not seem in tbe least surErised or moved. 0:her things seemed to ear against tbe Bon-ln-law. But he, too, stowed conclusively that he was, at tbe moment of the muruer, In tbe parlor of an inn some miles away; and tbe two su burban woodcutters were equally form nate in proving alibis on tbe best possible evidence. Ruprecht Boon died without azain opening bis lips: and the mystery which so severely perplexed the judges as to who killed bim Is a mystery stm. POLITICS IN HEAVEN. VERY WEXIj SATISFIED TO DWELL HERB AFTER IN A REALM RULED BT A MOS' ARCH AND A HIERARCHY OF ANGELS. READY FOR A CHANGE AT DEATH NO MORE POLITICS AND PARTY NEWSPAPERS WANTED. The World thus moralizes: Othello Hamlet Smith says that in the consulship of Plancus, when he was a younger man and a more enthusiastic Republican than he is now, he could not accept with any favor the common idea of heaven as an ab solute mouarchy, supported by a heredi tary aristocracy of angels, and having only a tew unimportant court places open to distinguished merit. He was willing to acknowledge tbe supremacy ot the Deity, relinquishing with a sigh all thoughts ot spinne in a future life to the celestial White House; but he could not, as an ardent American, contemplate with any satisfaction the prospect of dying and being placed under tbe control of several different orders of angelical hierarchy, with no limit to bis servitude and no possibility ot bettering bia condition. He found little comfort in looking forward to be honor of carrying St. Michael's shield, cr holding St. Peter's keys, or polishing Gabriel's trumpet, or taking bis place in some heavenly choir to sing anthems under St. Cecilia's leadership, lie thought the palms, the harp, tbe wbit9 robes and the golden ornameats of the New Jerusalem would bj a poor recompense for the nnlllfk'htion of the flrbt clause of the declaration of independence1, and be used to dream of a system ot heavenly economy in which all ranks, order., principalities and powers as inherent in individuals Bhould be ato?isbed and one denizen ot the Holy Ci'y be as good as another, and all eligible to the highest offices. Smith confesses that be doesn't cars so much about this matter now as be did formerly, and than he will be perfectly contented . to take benven as he finds it. There is something, atter all, be argues, in tbe assertion of the great philosophic statesman, that it is with government as with building. More depend upon the soundness of tbe material than upon tbe style of architecture; and if tbe timbers are rotten and the stone scales away in tho wind and rain, and the whole 8',ructura topples upon your bead. IT HAKES LITTLE DIFFERENCE whether you are crushed by a Corinthian or a Doric ruin. A democracy is tbe best form of government for this world; but after knocking about in one for man's allotted space, experiencing all sorts of party strifes and vicissitudes, one sighs lor a chance at the threshold of a new exist ence and looks to an absolute monarchy as a relief. "Nothing else," remarked Smith, dogmatically, in a conversation on tbe subject, "can give tbe idea of reet in separable from our conceptions of beaven. You merely attend in sucn a state 01 things to your own private business and ri:ng public cares and responsibilities to the winds. Yon are confident tbat alt will go well, and know tbat nobody will blame you if it doesn't; and you never dream of asking whether tbe celes'.ial treasurer has nonestly accounted for all tao crown jewels or wbetber tbe door keeper of the council chamber shed his ichor in Lucifer's rebellion. I venture to say," be added, . "that even Tburlow Weed, to whom political mtruue has Deen S3 the breath of bis uottril, would foolc to death with an additional shudder it be apposed that it was the prelude to ax unending series 01 party diruzgies lor tne administration ot affairs in the New Jerusalem. Think of a caucus to choose delesates to an angelio convention and tbe contest between a couple of archangels as rival candidates! What a fluttering of pinions and gleaming of golden crowns there "would be at a mass-noeeilng in some evergreen grove or perennial meadow of the Milky Way J Why," con tinued Smith, warming with tbe oonsicV eratlon of the theme, "they would bave to start party newspapers in beaven to make tbe canvasses lively, and then there would be such recrimination and overhauling of records tbat nobody would be much of an angel after a campaign or two. How one editor would let into Abraham tor lying about Sarah and turning Hagar into the Wilderness; and how a rival journalist would pour hot shot Into Paul tor bis expedition to Damascus, or ridicule David for . HIS AFFAIR WITH URIAH'S WIFE and bis emotional poetry, or expose the inconsistencies of Solomon in parallel col umns. Poor Peter couldn't stay chief door-keeper very long In the face of that ugly story about his lying to the maid servant ; and Gibbon would be quoted to now tbat some aspiring Christian martyr, up for the suffrages ot his peers, bad ruu headlong Into danger and got himself burned to death when there was zottbe igbtes need of sac i a sacrifice. At d finally, when one party triumphed there would come tbe division of tbe spoils among the victois. the maintenance of tbe adminiitratlon by levies upon the office holders, and the plunder anamismatage ment to make up for tbe expenses of a

close campaign. JThe , jobbery tbat would weep into the manufacture of harps and the repair of angelio wings can readily be

Imagined, and In a short time the heavenly hosts, instead of being clad in linen vesture and wearing gold crowns, would be arrayed in white cotton, cut- short at the ankles, and adorned with coronets of tinfoil and KOld tinsel. Of course after Bryent and Bowles died tbe Independent voter dodge would be Introduced to complicate matters and make them worse, in tact," said Soalth in conclusion, making the dec laration with great solemnity, "a republican form of government in the next world would very soon tarn beaven into hell. It may do for men, but it is not the sys tem for angels. lam getting sick of it even here, and don't want any more of it alter Idle." As we remarked on a previous occasion, it is very plain that Othello Hamlet has grown morbid on tbe subject of politics; tbat the rascalities of the ad ministration are preying upon bis mind. The lest levelation about Blaine has been an especial mortification. He will never be able to etiud the wear and tear ol tbe coming canvass, nd Bhould devote tbe summer to a canoe voyage to tbe bead-wa te of the Amazon. THE WILLIAMSES AND FLORENCES GRIEF OVER BARNEY WILLIAMS'S DEATH HIS PERSONALITY RIVALRY BETWEEN the brothers-in-law Florence's suc cess. Tbe New" York correspondent of the Buffalo Courier writes to his journal: Tbe death of the brightest and merriest Irish comedian that the present generation baa known, causes much sincere regret in New York, where Barney Williams bad hosts of private a? well as public friends. Tbe professional star ot the dead actor had been waning for some time. Boucicault's more refined and gentle personation of Irish character pleased the public better than the noisy, boisterous, pugnacious Irish man of Williams, and tbe latter bad lost caste accordingly. But be still bad a great many admirers before tbe footligbti and bis personal popularity in clubs and social circles remained undiminished. Barney vv iiiiams, or Bernard Flaherty, which was bis real same, was a very prince of good fellows, and bis company was as eagerly nought as thai, of any man in his profession. He had some ot the very best qualities of manhood in his nature, and, with the Irishman's quick impulse, he was always ready to resant the smallest tligbt upon bis race or bis country. During the Know-Knothing crusade of twenty years ago, be was frequently in collision wLhthe anti-Irish element, and on each occasion be acquitted himself with personal credit if not with satisfaction to those who offended bis national pride. HIS PROFESSIONAL RANK was not very high, yet it will be long before the "Irish Boy and Yankee Girl," eo often and so cleverly depicted by h'mcelf and wife, are forgotten. Tbe attachment cfthi3 couple ever since their marriage, when be was a very poor actor and she a popular danseuse and soubrette, was of tbe strongest kind. Mr. Williams was also warmly attached to bis mother, a plain and rather whimsical old lady, who survives bim, and made ber comfort oneo! the chief objects of bis life. He had more tact in the art of savins; money than actors usually bave, and, though bis band was always open to charity, be managed to My up a fortune that w estimated at $250,000. A considerable part of this was invested in a handsome country seat, which he called "Kathleen Villa," in compliment to bis wife, at Bath, Long Island. Barney Williams was as true hearted a man as ever lived, on or off the stage. For saveral years there was a sharp professional rivalry between W iliiams and William J Firrance, or William J, Conlan, his family name, who had married bis wife's feister, aod star'ed out in the same line of parts which Williams and his wife bad chosen. Tbe rivalry was at times to strong as to lead to very untriendly personal relations, but as each couple found ample opportunities tor success without inter fering with tbe other, THE ACRIMONY WORE AWAY, and Williams and Florence finally became tbe warmest friends. While Florence confined himself to tbe Irish line cf character, be deprived Williams of some of his laueis,'.for his acting was more refined and natural than that of Williams, but he soon rose to something higher than tbe absurd and hackneyed Irishman of tbe stage, and his progress since tbe change was made has been steadily upward. Hi first distinct success outside of tbe Irish drama, so-called, was as Bob Brieriy in tbeVTicket-of-Leive.' Subsequently be made a decided hit as tbe Jew Obenreizer in the dramatization of Dicken' "No Thoroughfare." He also took up Burton's part of Captain Cuttle and surprised the critics by playing it very well indeed, but bis chief success was In creatine (tor It is as distinct a creation as Rip Van Win ale or Lord Dundreary), Judge Slote, in tbe "Mighty Dollar." Ibis part, as Florecc plays it, is a triumph that aiy actor might be proud 01. Mrs. Florence naa also developed very clever versatility and is a valuable factor in tbe Buccess ot ber husband. . Their attachment to each other is as close as that which existed between Mr. and Mr. Williams, and like them tbey are privately held in tbe biehest esteem for generous and attractive per sonal qualities. A BRILLIANT GATHERING. FIRST REPRESENTATION OF TENNYSON 8 QUEEN MARY A CATALOGUE OF NOTABLES SOME AMERICANS WHO WERE THERE. From Mr. Conwayfs letter to tbe Cincln. nati Commercial is taken tbe following description of a gathering vielng with that which Macaaly tells ns was collected at the Impeachment of Warren Hastings: It is safe to affirm that never in the history ot the London stage was so distinguished an tudience gathered as that which last night witnessed tun nrst representation ot Tennyson's 'Queen Mary." It lacked only the presence ot the L reite himself to mal the scene complete, and as It was there was almost as much allurement for tbe eyes In front of tbe stage as upon it. Mrs. Batemm bad generously resolved tbat the first night should not be consecrated to any lets worthy aim' than the perfect presentation of the Laureate's first drama in tbe presence of tbe best of bis contemporaries, and though every seat in the Lyceum mlgbt bave been sold at a fancy price, she sent out ber invitations as to a grand soiree. And such it was. From tbe hidden or cnestra there came forth strains of choicest music an overture composed for the plav by Staepel, a prelude in "Lohengrin," a serenade by Gounod; but tbey were all lost in tbe buzz of conversation which nlled every interval. Lords and lily -like ladles in tneir most exqoiMte dresses, came in especially large numbers and1 the private boxes were radiant with them. One private tox, containing the poet's handsome s)n

with their father's particular friend, Fred

erics Liocaer, tae noer, was an especial target tor the lorgnette; another was occupied bv Ldy Archibald Campbell and her friend ; and in another AN ARISTOCRATIC PARTY had In tbelr center Robert Browning, who must be more than mortal if he did not reflect how many superb dramas rest in his works, like sleeping beauties awaiting the kiss of art, which last night awakened a hated and forgotten queen from ber slumber of generations, to be an object of interest, and even sympathy. In the orchestra stalls, wherever the eye wandered it alighted on groups of gentlemen and ladies eminent in art and literature. Millais, with his lovely wife; Whistler, the favorite American artist; Woolner, tbe sculptor; Prof. Colvln, and many another of their fraternity, ara here to admire the admirable taste with wbicb the pliy is mounted. Tbe latess debutante or tbe stage, Helen Fairfax (Mrs. Evans BU,) is present with her distinguished busbano, a b:auty of Jewish type and around her other a -t reuses. George Henry Lewis, wbo Is equally keen in analyzing dramatic e fleets aud metaphysical subtleties, discusses tbe impersonations with bis friend Anthony Trollope, while hs wile, G9orge Eliot, who, with her thick, dark ha'.r tailing beneath a rich lace bead dress, and ber strong features, would be selected even by one who did not know her, as a queenly woman, and one of intellectual power employs overy interval between the acts in close conversation with THE FASCINATING AMERICAN, Mrs. George W. Soialley, lortunataly seated at her side. "G. W. S." himself has as much as he can do to bend over this way and that to speak to tbe many acquaintances who are asxious to know, from time to time, tbe opinion of so hj percritlcal a writer. Lady Gordon, the aunt of Professor Tyndall's wife, known tf a wide circle as the lover of the best literature, tbe best plays and advanced thought, was a delighted spectator. Mr. UattoD, Mr. Ralston who starts next week to explore further tbe Russian Folklore and but to go any further in mentioning names would te to give a catalogue of nearly all tbe men and women who do the everyday literary work of London. The princes of the pit and gods of tbe gallery were not wanting, for to those parts of the house the pric3s were tbe same as usual, and every seat and even standing-room was occupied by tbess with whom at last the promiaent success ot any play must rest. Daring tbe preliminary c m dietta there were some inoicatlonstaatthd gallery was in an excited state ot mind, and some hisses tbat followed tbe fall of the curtain upon the said comedietta which really was rather poor made one suspect tbat there might be a ciiqus in the gallery gathered for purposes bosiile to the main drama. The gods, however, were only asserting their ordinary privileges, and when, in the interval preceding "Queen Mary," it whistled and horse-laughed, and cried 'turn bim our," theie was the undertone of ood humor.
