On the tbe Jailer addressed the Sheriff a note, stating that Wallace was craxy, and requested that the man be tried on a writ of lunacy. He said tbat the law would not permit tbe execution of an person. A Jury was accordingly appointed to Inquire into bis sanity. They met this morning at 10 o'clock, and the jury went into the corridors of the Jail to see Wallace. Tbe condemned man was taken from, bis cell by several negroesjegnasbing bis teeth and calling for the Lord to save him.

He was stark naked, and was held down to tbe floor while Drs. Martin, Duncan and Read examined bis skin, heart and lungs. Wallace gnashed his teeth, rolled his eyes, groaned, and seemingly suffered intense agony, bordering on con Tui tions. There was rigiiiity of the arms, while his legs and toes were limber and natural. Head, convinced that the.

Tbe ruse sucCaedod and every one was satisfied that be was shain- miug.

He was taken back to the call howl- ian and muttering like a wild beast. After further examination of witnesses tbe jury rendered a verdict tbat they uud from tha evidence of pbysicians, toge.ucr with others who bad Wuluee under observation, as wellss from evidence of personal examination, tbat Vk allaoe sbamming auu tbere are not suffi cient grounds to justify belief in bis insan ity. Wallace will be taken from jail to rn rrow accordingly and handed between 12 and 3 o'clock. It is believed tbat be will kp up his shamminz and have to be carried to the gallows.

It is reDortad that a cable diapatcb waa received by tbe Democratic State Committee from 0. Prince, jositively refusing tbe nomination for Lieu tenant Uovernor. 1 am baoretary of tbe Democratic State Central Committea denies tbat word declining the nomination was res ceivsd fropi Prince. The Chairman of the Executive Committee also states that tha report is nntrue. It was known before tne convention assembled tbat a message was sent to Prince, wbo is abroad on account of his wife's health, in reference to the nomination, and that his reply evinced -un willingness to accept.

It is claimed that nothing has been received from him. Xbe committee do not believe that Prince intends that bU reply to the message intimating that be would be nominated shall be regarded as a declination now tnat tbe nomination is made. Tbe Globe (Dem.) says Prince has not with drawn, while the Post (Dem.) editoriaUy'ac- cepta tbe report as anthentio and suggests as a substitute Bowerman or Chas. 1 heodors Russell, if either could be induced to stand. Tbs Herald says tbat according to the old line Democrats, wbo hope Price wfll refuse, that tbe nomination was part of tbe Governor's plan to get Prince out of his way ia national politics, for it is very prob- bla ba wants tbe re-election of Ames.

Tbe impression would be given to the Democrats of the country that at home Prince Ls not so strong as has been supposed. Thus would tbe movement to pnt Prince on tbe National ticket for Vice President be killed, ot coum. as two Easiern men oo-l i not be nominated on tbe National tick- and Prince removal wonld rive Butler a clear field In the Kastern Ktate.

Prince's health alone will ba a sufficient raa son for his declining. The Builer Independents bare deposed Vice President Nichols, of the Executive Commit- it being charged tbat he lurumoed the press with reports that tbe deliberations of tne body were inharmonious. 1UM COAL IN EES. criba Tt reaaeiilvaaia Pittsbursh.

One often hears in English society that certain persons must be ssnt to America to find rich wives, and so retrieve their fortunes. I do not wonder tbat such are encouraged to try, so very successful are many of their countrymen, wbo rarely have tittle more than a name to recommend them. Our own Government may yet be compelled to bestow titles upon our own men, solely to keep our pretty girls and their fortunes in the coun try.

After all, an American girl who mar ries a titled Englishman loses, rather than gains, in position. Henry James has rizbtly said tbat there are but two positions worth tbe having that of the Cxar of all tbe Russia and the American woman's. The Ctar looks up to no man as a greater ruler than he; the American woman, wherever she may be, need own no other woman as of higher rank. Uben she accepts tbe title of an Englishwoman, immediately she takes her place below certain' other women, and must acknowledge tbeir right of precedence al ways, and must always "go ba to benind certain otner women.

JVck's Bun. There is something about retting a cinder in one's eye, while on a ra lroad train, that ia most laughable to those who do not get cin ders in their eyes, tuougn terribly painful to those whose tickets draw cinders. A man mav think he is exempt from cinders, and ha will talk big, and passengers will think he is one of the world great ones, brave and noble, but the moment a cinder gets into his eye he becomes a helpless creat ure, a cross, irritable, unpleasant companion. The bully weakens when he gats a cinder in hia eye, and will accept assist- ance from the most no-account person on the train, and will stand liks a trembling coward white eotoo one pro ta ss Tor it, with aeorner of a handkerchief, and tarns np the eyelid to find the wicked little piece of tbre-cornersd burned coal. A roan wbo can stand np and fight a prize-fighter without weakening, who can have a bullet probed tor without wine-ins: or who can have a lag taken off without inhaling chloroform will be as weak as a cat when a cinder strikes nis eyeDaii, and ne almost faints away when the eyelid is turned wrong side out by a person looking for tbe poor little cinder.

There is something singular about a cinder. A boy will stick but need ous or a car window and ride a hundred miles, with cinders flying all around his head, and he will never g. a cinder hi hia eye, while a quiet lady, with a vail on, in a seat remote from an open window, will have a cinder in her half-closed eye before she has rode a mils, and sne Is all broke up. It beats ail what a difference there is in people about cinders. A homely woman niitit get a cinder ia her eye and nobody would pay.

any attention to ber, any more than to tell her not to rub ner eye very much, but let a handsome young woman catch a cinder in one ot her beautiful eyes, and the first tear that comes to the eye soft ens the heart of svery man in the car. and they all want to probs for it and offer some akeettag at CrssSatssr.

Winfield Scott Hancock went down to Bandy Hook to witness some experiments in gunnery, lbe water was very rough, and the small Government barge which took the party down was tossed about like an egg shell. Before reaching tbe Government wharf at the Hook, the boat was thrown about so violently that ia one of its lurches tbe General was thrown violently down, suffering a severe injury to hia right knee.

At first it was thought to be a mere tem porary injury that a few hours would allay, but as tne day progressed tbe knee became more and more painful. until it was deemed necessary to keen him in one of the Government cottages at the Aook lor three days before it was thought prudent to bring him np.

Tbe dealers' commit ion, which before tbe epidemie set ia ranged from one bait to one ana one-nau cents on eacn paper, now ranges from one-third to one cent.
