Mrs. McKinley’s brother caused
a man and wife to separate, then
deserted the woman. She hunted
him up last week and killed him.
Forty thousand soldiers are or
dered to Georgia for encampment
this winter.
The war commission is to make
a tour of the various camps.
Mr. Simon, the new senator from
Oregon, is a Jew, and the third of
his race to hold a seat in the sen
ate. The first was Judah P. Ben
jamin, of Louisiana, the next was
Mr. Moses, of the same State.
Both of them were men of dis
tinction and influence. Mr. Ben
jamin was a member of the cabinet
in the southern confederacy, and
at the close of the war went to
London, where he was admitted
to the bar and attained a very high
position and a lucrative practice.
How a Clergyman Was Worsted.
In the “Celebrated Trials” col
lated by the late Henry Lauren
Clinton, of New York, are many
diverting anecdotes. He relates
this one of the famous jurist, Judge
Martin Grover. Before he went
on the bench, Grover defended a
man indicted for the murder of
his wife by throwing her down a
well. In addition to proof of the
circumstances of the homicide, the
prosecution, in order to show not
only his want of affection, but his
cold-blooded and brutal indiffer
ence to his wife, called as a wit
ness a clergyman, who testified
that he attended her funeral and
sat in the pulpit with the officiat
ing clergyman, and that while the
latter was engaged in prayer, the
prisoner was looking across the
church and winking at some of the
girls on one side of the room, and
continued to do so during the
prayer. The impression given by
this testimony can well be im
agined. Its effect was to shock
the jury and the audience. In
construing the conduct of the
prisoner in respect to the circum
stances of the homicide, it was not
unlikely that this evidence would
be the turning point to convict
him. Grover’s cross examination
of the witness was very brief. It
was as follows :
Question—You say while the
minister was praying you saw the
prisoner looking and winking at
some girls. How did you happen
to see him?
Answer—I was holding my
hands over my eyes and I saw
through my fingers.
Q.—Did you watch him all the
while the minister was praying?
A.—Yes, and I was surprised
at his conduct and watched him
all the while the minister was
praying.
Said Grover: “That was right;
that was according to Scripture,
‘watch and pray.’ While Brother
Jones prayed you watched. That
is aff.”
All in the court room were con
vulsed with laughter, and the
clergyman left the stand in great
rage. As he passed the table
where counsel sat, he hissed out
at Grover, so as to be heard all
over the court room, “You are a
gentleman.” Said Grover: “Hold
on ; go right back on the witness
stand. I’ve long wanted a wit
ness I could prove that by. But
I give you fair notice, if you swear
I am a gentleman there are a
thousand men in Alleghany county
where I live that will impeach
you.” The discomfited witness
went to his seat amid the general
laughter of all present. Grover
won his case. His client was not
convicted.
The Last Slave Auction.
The last great slave auction
held in this country occurred just
a year and a half before the war—
viz., in October, 1859—at the race
track in Savannah. The slaves
were the property of Pierce But
ler, a picturesque and prominent
figure at that day in Philadelphia
society, who is today remembered
as having been the husband of
Fanny Kemble, the actress, reader,
and author. His family name was
Mease, but he inherited a fortune
in lands and slaves from his grand
father, Major Pierce Butler, of
South Carolina, on condition that
he should take the latter’s name.
Butler’s inveterate passion for
gambling got him into financial
difficulties. It is said that he lost
$26,000 in a single hand—four
deuces against four kings held by
his opponent.
Finally, to meet his losses, But
ler was forced to sell his slaves.
There were 988 of these in all.
The sale took two days and netted
$303,850. Butler had chosen a
good time to sell. A year later
his negroes would not have been
worth a dollar a head. But the
sale would have been more profit
able had it not been announced as
one of its conditions that no di
visions of families would be per
mitted. Hence, in order to secure
a good slave, buyers often had to
take with him infirm or aged rela
tives. Out of this limitation grew
a memorable tragedy. Tom Pate,
a well known Vicksburg trader,
bought at the sale a man, his two
sisters, and his wife, with the
guarantee that they should not be
separated.
Disregarding this, Pate sold the
sisters, one to Pat Somers, a
brother trader, and the other to a
resident of St. Louis. What legal
rights a negro had in the South
were well protected. Somers was
told of the guarantee and he sent
the girl back to Pate and demanded
his money. A quarrel was the
result, and Somers was shot dead.
Ten days later his nephew killed
Pate and died from wounds re
ceived. The feud was kept up
until every male bearing the name
of Pate was wiped out, and then
the war liberated the sisters, who
were alive in St. Louis in 1887.—
