Spanish iiiosn, which grows so ahttnd

indulging their sympathy for murderer*
by getting up a i*etition to save I’iper,
convicted of the murder of tho little
girl, Mahle Young, last summer, in the
tower of one the churches «if that city ;
hut Piper has jest made a confession of
that bloody deed, as well as of others in
which he was supposed to have had a
hand. The murder was a very atrocious
one, and Piper assorted lor some time
that he was innocent, hut Huhocqucntly
stated that the girl had boon killed by
the trap-door of the lielfry falling acci

that lie killed her, actuated by an in-
sano desire for blood.
Nor in and Month Carolina are natur
ally interested in that clause of the pro-
fx>*ed Hawaiian treaty which admits the

these states the rice crop is of great im
portance, and the planters know that if

Mr. Hon AM) t». Mitchell, in re
sponding to tho toast of “ Agriculture"
at the annual dinner of the New Haven
( hamlwr of commerce, said, among other
things, that agriculture did not lend to
such offenses ns Belknap's. He was of
the opinion that Belknap did not spring
from the plow. There had been too
iimdi worship of the golden calf in this
country ; it was seen recently in the gap
ing crowds at Mr. Stewart’s funeral.
Commerce had an' object higher than
that of money-making. Kind deeds and
generosity, not spasmodic, hut overflow
ing day by day, year after year, give a
better odor to a man’s memory than the
following after biers by ex governors «r
gold handles to coffins.
Daniel IMiKWhasbeen interviewed in
his retirement, and yielded, under gentle
pressure, the following: ' I’ve retired
permanently from business this time,
which I ought to have done years ago
tinder different and happier circum
stances. I never dreamed that the time
would come when I should have to go
into bankruptcy. There nover was just
such a case as mine ever heard on ’afore.
No man was ever so rich as I was, worth
at one tirneeigbt or ten millionsof money,
and then made to lose every dollar of it
in so short a time." Referring to the
late A. T. Stewart, he said that even
that prompt business man had delayed
his charitable schemes too Io;ig, and now
they would have to bo carried out by
some one else, if at all. In allusion to
Stewart’s wealth, he said lie never esti
mated him at over forty millions; but
Vanderbilt was surely worth a hundred
millions of money if he owned a dollar.
