"Though II slay me ytt will I trust in llim.' On this beau tiful spring morning, while the sweet south wind is breathing its balmy odors upon ui, I was ruminatiug up on lifo and its measure of joy. and sorrow, aud 1 wondered why both were not more evenly disturbed. Why should bad luck aud peril over- . take some and leave out others? Why should the ill fated Naronic go dowu with all on board aud the Aurania Mian fall in battle and his comrade mcapo unharmed f Is it fat or pro videuc ( It it chance or destiny that ono should be taken and the other loft!

I know that virtue is everywhere respected and that good people save the world just as ten good men would havo saved Sodom, What a shock it is to the civilized world when a ship goes down at sea and passengers and crew Sink into the depths with bubbling groan, TJnknclled, uncofilned, and unknown. Why is it, why does it so ha row up our feelings and provoke our ten derest sympathies f Here are 6,000 people dying every day in the United States and they would make a funer al p recession 500 miles long. Not less than 50,000 kindred are bereave cd and mour for them, and yet all these coSlns and graves and sadden hearts and. homes do uot concern the public like the sinking of & ship at sea. The manner of the death is not so horrible. Indeed, drowning is said to be the least repulsive of all deaths for it is painless and the ag ony of mind is soon over, and yet it is an awful calamity. No help, no Kindred, no last words, no messeges of love, no requiem, r o flowers on the grave! In my early -youth the shock of the loss of the pilot in which The odorsea Allston erished had not passed away. She was the beautiiul daughter of Aaron Burr. That ship went down with all on board and no one knew when or where," and the whole south was&ucvcd. She had married a distinguished son of South Carolina a.id was herself a great granddaughter of Johnalhan Ed ward, siud her beaui) and her lov h'nfSi ha ! saved her father from be ing convicted of treason. It was a tender story that my father used to tell me and I loved such things and I love them vet. The next disaster i that shocked the country in raj youth was the loss of the Home that went down on the Carolina coast when ak most in sight of land. I remember how Georgia mourned for Oliver Prince, her mos. distinguished law ycr, who sank with the vessel, lie was our United States senator bnd the gifted author of many sketches. Had he sickened and tlie I at home not half the greif and sympathy would have been manifests 1 bv the public hoart. We are more reconciU ed to the inevitable than to the ua seen, unexpected stroke that comes at sea from the mighty hand of God, We all desire to die .at home at home, where loving hands can smooth the aching head and loving eyes look down into our own and weep. 1 do, and if I don't get better, I am not going far away any moro. There is nothing sadder to me than to ' see kindred, who are near and dear gath er at the depot to meet the corpse of a son or daughter who had died in a strange land and whose last request was to be taken home. But I do not know my thoughts have run this way fur the day is bright aud the birds are singing and and the fruit tress are in bloom and thero is nothing to make me sad nothing save the strugling child that every little while has to rack her lit tle frame with that relentless cough and often it is over, to hear her say : "Oh. I am so tired." I wish that we .1 trnuhln i and that I could take part of hers.

Brown called the court to order, and after disposing of several minor cases call ed the case of the State vs S. Otho Wilson, indicted for belonging to a secret political organization known as ''Gideon's Band." The Solicitor was assisted in the prosecution 03' Geo. H. Snow. Esq., while the defendant's counsel was Messrs. Battle and Mordecai. J. C, L. Harris, Esq.. Walter Montgomery. Esq., and Mr. J, W. Poele. Upon the arraignment of :he defendant Mr. R, H. Battle, of couei for the defen dant, submitted the tuiiowing plea: State vs S Otho Wilson. The de fendant. S. Otho Wilson, comes into court, and while protesting his in nocence, pleads that he is unwilling to contend with the State, and that he abides by the judgement of the court. After the pica of nole contendere had been entered. Solicitor Pou arose and said :,.. : May it please' ycur Honor, there has heuer been any disposition on the part of the State to press this prosecution any farther than public safety demanded. The organization known as Gideon's Band, threatened in some degree at least, to trammel a free expression of the political wi'l of the people. Its very existence was a violation of the law. It was tyrannical in its. methods. It de manded blind obedience to superiors and while few men who would join such an order are possessed of the smallest degree of courage necessary 10 carry inl etlect ihe penalties it imposed, yet it proposed to infl ct severe punishment upon those who dared disobey superiors. It propos ed to put an end to political freedom Its meetings were in the night-time i and in secludedj places, It dared not reveal its existence to the world. Its members were sworn to deny eyeii the existence of the order. Its organization was, nothing less than a c hi pi racy whose presence in our! midit the State would not tolerate. Some well-meaning citizens, it is true, were deceived and became mem beri. Every word that 1 haye said the State is abundantly able to sus tain by unimpeachable evidence. But, if 3our Honor please, the prosecution, has served its purpose. It has neyer been the intention of the Ct?te to ask that this defendant be severely punished in case of his conviction, The .main object of the prosecution was to give notice that the statute un lor which the bill was drawn could not be violated with im- pndity. This is, 1 believe, the first prosecution under the statute. Many people were ignorant of the existence of sach a law. I am informed that the organization is broken up, And now because of the facts and for the reason further that it has been sug gested by some that this wai a polit ical prosecutin and because the de fendant comes into court and pract ically confesses his guilt casts him self upon the mercy of the court, I desire to ask your Honor to suss pend judgement upon the payment of the costs which are lare. If the dependent shall violate the law in like manner in the future this case can ba brought forwaid n the dock et and judgement of the court then 1 prayed. Afer some remarks in rply to the Solicitor, made by Mr, Mont gomery, His Honor remarked that the plea of nolo contendere was not a confession of guilt, but that on con trary the defendant expressly pro, tested his innocence, while agreeing to abide the judgement of the court, That srao times a defendent was un ablei from poverty to conduct a de fence or some other causes might decline to contend with the State, and that in this case, under its cir-. cumstanccs, he thought it was a pro per disposition to let it go off on the payment of costs. The Judge then directed the clerk to enter upon the minutes the following judgement and order: State vs. Otho Wilson : The defendant S, Otho Wilson comes into court, and while protest ing hs innocence, pleads that he is j unwii i-.g to contend with the Sta'f ! a llinl ha aliwloo tho i II i 1 j ITU 11 T .f the court. Whereupon it is ordered that the defendant's plea of nolo con tendere be accepted and entered and that the defendant be required to pay the costs of this action; The plea of S. Otho Wilson, nolo contendere, is a plea which is often permitted by the court.. The de fendant by that plea, while averring his innocense, nevertheless places himself upon the mercy of the court! He can be sentenced and punished as fully as if convicted by the jury. The Solicitor, an ablej and consci entious officer, lecommends that the judgment be suspended over the de fendant and that the defendant be now required to pay all costs, which are quite heavy. It appears that this is the first prosecution under this statute and that no great good will be now accomplisbed by punishing the defendant further than to tax him with the costs. It. is therefore i,rdercu upon mo- . .1 tionof the Solicitor, that the judgment be suspended and that the defendant be in custody of the sheriff until the are paid, G. II. Brown.

The strangest combination result ing from the marriage of relatives that we have ever heard of is that in tfie family of Lewis Osborne, who has? recently removed to Pomona Selraa, Frasno countv, Mr., Osborne tells us that he has been ten vearsr trying to unravel the perplexi-ties-of relationship that his second marriage has caused, In 1883 he married; a young-widow, who was his own. J grandfather's third wife. The couple have a little son. - Gfyen this simple statement and a number of peculiar family relation 8hipmay be deduced, For example. Mrl psborne is a grandchild of his wife; His son, being also a son of his (Osborne's) grandmother, is uncle to his own father. Osborne becomes a brother to his uncles and aunts, and also a. stepfather to them. The boy, being the child of Osborne as a grand soriVis thereby a great grandson of hi"own mother, while his father re joice in the title of great-grandfather to his own child. Thus the boy became a granduncls to himself and his parents', great grandchild. Osborn is the boy's fatlier and . great-grandfather at the sarnie time and, being the husband of his own grandmother, enjoys the dis tinction of bemg.his own grandfather as.well, : Osborne's mother married a man named Blake and his sister married a brother-in-law of her mother; Henry Blakp. Osborne's sis'er becomes a sister to his own mother, is grand mother to Osborne's sou. frhe latter, however, being the ; son of. the wife of Mr. Blake's father-in-law, U therefore a brother to his grandmother and gr&nduncle to his grandmother's sister, the daughter who married Mrs. Blak&'s brothcr-in-law. He also i3 her nephew, as the son of her brother. Osborne is the younger Mrs. Blake's grandfather s wejl her brother. Thus her nephew, Osborne's son, becomes uncle to his aunt, being a son of her grandmother. j.The relationship may be ;likewisj traced almost indefinitely. The family is happy and contented and l(ves as pleasantly as-though L'c. cuuar lamiiy lies were uut j. 4-Greensboro Patriot.
