A News man called npon him yes-teiday morning to learn of what be might say.

He was snmmond to tha Debtor's Rooms, by Turnkey Garner, whither he expressed a 'delight at being privileged to go. He began to answer "yon can just tell tbe people I am ready and willing to die and I have made peace with God." 1 He wanted to see a copy of The News of Febrnary 17th. He had not seen the article about; bjmself whioh it contained. It wai red to him. "What you have already printed in that paper, I have nothing to aid to." After a few moments of meditation, upon general topics, he said "I bad sometbiog upon my mind that I didn't want to give up, but I knew that God would not pardon my sins unless I did give them up.

TOLD BY COL. WATTERSCN The Wiiirliglg of Time Brought In Its Revenge, That was a qnner story Henry Wattsrson told in his lecture about a defalcation cape in Lonieville, writes the St. Louis Republic. He said that several years ago a gentleman holding a commanding commercial and social position in tbe Eentucky metropolis had used tbe funds of the corporation of which be was the trusted financial head, and when the day of accounting came he found be was short in his. accounts.

Tbe time was too brief to make tbe deficit good, and his own funds were in such shape that he was inextricably entangled. He was an honest man, but in a moment of. overconfidence bad permitted himself to deviate from the narrow path just enough to use tbe firm cash as. a temporary loan, promising to return it prompt- 'y. When the.

time came he eould not. Instead of the inevitable discovery he called, a meeting of the directors, made a straightforward confession, resigned his position, threw himself upon tbe mercy of the court, so to speek, and pledged himself to pay every dollar if be were not exs posed and proseouled. An animated discussion followed, and a large ma jority were in favor of giving the de linquent a chance. His hitherto high standing, and undoubted business ability, were 'in his fovor, not to mention that he might havo skipped if he had desired. Two of tbe direc tors" held They thought it would be componding a felony, and it was an awful thing to let such a man loose upon the unsuspecting community.

But they were out vo ted, and the defaulter was giAen another chance. Ha is now a proper-ou8 and; wealthy businesa mm of LLomsville. Two years after his misfortue one of the tad men who had objected to bis release was a fugitive in Texas, charged with embezzlement, and at the end of another year, the other fled to Canada to escape arrest on the same charge. In the whirligig of time tbis prosperous merchant, whose early misfortune these tvro men bad endeavored to turn into disgrace and calamity, was the foreman of the grand jury that indicted tha two fugitives. srr.
