Another Black" Brute to Ilanjr. Charles Webster, convicted of being an accomplice of George Washington in the horrible rape upon little Fran ces Otte, in October, 1878, neariiouis- will ia- all probability suljer 6H the gallows for iiis crime at ahl early day. Saturday the court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the lower court. Webster was indic ted January 10. 1875, plead no t.fiuilty Jau uary 1 1 trial began on March and ended with a verdict of guilty March 7 motion for a new trial March 11, and overruled April 30, and he was sentenced to be hanged on June XI.

-Nothing now-wiHsave him unfcss.the governor interferes. Sat urday a Louisville Commercial re porter, in company with Turnkey Jake Graff, entered the jail when Webster was informed of the action of the court of appeals, and the com ing event that would end his earthly career. The doomed man was seated with a group of prisoners who were passing away time by playing cards. Webster's name being called, he arose and stepped forward, and when the news was communicated to him there was not the slightest change in his features, and without showing any agitation he said, "Well, that's all right," and dropping back among his dusky comrades, he commenced play ing cards again, and probably would have thought more about missing a chew of tobacco than he did, his impending doom.

"You have my I he urges solemnly and conclusively." Once upon a time a French Deputy was re turned to the Chambers, on a strength of a promise to procure for his native town a bridge, a park, and a grant of public money wherewith to keep it up. But time passed, the Assembly was dissolved, and the Deputy had to Beek re-election but neither bridge nor park ti or. grant had.

been concede ed. tile knew not What to say on the subject when he had to face the electors but, in a moment of happy inspiration, he spoke thusl "Messieurs and fellow-citizens, with regard to our bridge and park, what I said to you two years ago I now repeat in me most solemn and public manner. A promise wUi me is, a sacred thing; and what I promised you before, I promise you still." And the, peasants said to each other: "See, he is an honest man we shall do well to vote for him; what he says he sticks to; he does not back out of his promises." Lord Lawrence. A story of. him was worth recording" as an instance of bis lofty dealing and good influence upon inferior minds.

During the conduct of some important lapse fpi? a fyoun Indian' Itajah, tbt Prince endeavored to place in his hands, under the table, a bag of rupees. -He answered at once: "Young man, you have offered to an Englishman the greatest insult which he could possibly receive. This time, i a consideration of your youth, I excuse it. Let me warn you by this experience never again to commit so gross an offense against an Englishman." Many of: them would never forget the moral effect upon themselves, of his indefatigable, untiring industry, so long as health and eyesight left to him his profound contempt for the idle, lounging, loitering habits in which so much of human existence, is expended and destroyed. Any one who saw him felt at Once that his lresehRfl hari a nar.

tain majesth dignity andasuroi" re-fl pose, which feel -confident that in his presence, and in whatever emergency, we were perfectly safe. He was not only a leader of men, but ft leader on whom -men could rely without the apprehension of those sudden weaknesses and betrayals by which some of the most gifted of the human race have diffused around them a sense not of security but of mistrust. He Got Something Frisky. "Uot something frisky he asked. as he walked into a livery-stable and called for a saddle-horse; something mat -wiii prance aoout lively and wake a follow out of his lethargy? i ueu tu.nae me tncK male in acir tuo, uu a a can- oacK anything that wean hair." They brought him out a calico-colored beast with a vicious eye, and he mounted it and dashed off.

They him i home, straightened him out, and three surgeons came in and reduced his dislocations and plastered him up with raw Deer. A few weeks later he cauea at the stable, and said; if they had a gentle saw-horse with an -affectionate disposition, a bridle with a curb-bit and martingales, and a saddle with two horns And crupper to ic, lie oeiievea he would go up in ine nay-mow anagauop around a little where it was soft and wouldn't hurt him if he went to sleep and fell on, to ne aid tne other aay, HonMpn snail be brougni to tne established grade. 2d.
