I have received letters from a numlier ol friends of yours, and many ktsohs have been to see ine with regard to your ease. Hut after very careful consideration ol the whole matter, taking into considera tion what punishment could be inllicicil on vou for charges which are not pressed, I see no reason why 1 should not impose the maximum cnnlty.

In regard to the eiv.'r.d outlook the report says, in all directions business proseets continue eueoura.uiui;, and the ehanues during the last week have invn on the rifjht side. Ivxporls increase, and the speculative rise in hrcadsl uli's has Ikci. cheeked. Interior eities report an j tic sense in the volume of trade, and the money markets continue amply supplied, though rales are gradually hardening. The fjreat industries anjicar to be in fully as ijood condition as last week, with a a learer evidence of i'Hprovement in iron. Further crop news sustains the govern in; nt advices and estimates as to cotton, t rn and iats, and strengthens the pre v i ding impression that the August rc p it as to wheat, was less favor alih han the actual situation showed. In spite of small advances in sonic prod nets the general range of prices has not uialeriallv changed, and railroad earn in;: continue good, though all controver sies have not as yet been cleared away. Conference on the MaylrlcU Cane. London, August 1(5. Home Secretary Mai thews, Mr. Justice Stephens, the Lord Chancellor and medical experts are to .day holding a conference at the Home Uliee with a view to arriving at a d -a'W 'ii i'i the Mayhriek case. The con ference lasted four hours. It is regarded usaeertninty that the Home Office is in iloultt, and it is iK'lieved that the result of the delilwrations must necessarily be pardon or commutation of sentence. J Ionic Secretary Matthews and the experts assumed that Mrs. Maybrick was not guilty, and acting upon this assump tion silted every scrap of testimony given, cHH'cially that in relation to her husband's craze for arsenic which is of great weight, and will, it. is believed, turn the scale in the prisoner's favor. It is a noteworthy fact that the Lord Chancel lor is seldom consulted in such cases ex cept when n reprieve is meditated. The press association states thai Home S- - vet oy Matthews will recommend to l ! itc en the commutation of the ih-ath s. tituuc of Mrs. Maybrick to jjcual ser vitude for life; and that the commuta tio-iof'sciitcnce will be announced after the Oucen has given a formal assent.

Her grandfather, Hiram Sloan, was tier guardian, ami he appears to have bcld a slack rein. The young ward develoied a spirited teniier and, soon alter reaching legal age, made her money liy. She grew up to womanhood in much her own way, and was uolcd for her beauty and telll)ier. She was a girl of more than ordinary personal licauty. She was plump, of medium height, and had a lovely complexion. She was fair, but uoi a pronounced blonde. hile her eyes were bright ami sparkling they had a cold look, ami in theiti the student could read insincerity. She was schem ing, and this trail made her unpopular among her girl companions. It was said of her. too, thai though she was a sicudthrilt, she worshipped money if she worshipped anything, and gave her attention moslly to those who possessed it. She is remembered by hei Iricuds here as something of a llirl, and at one lime s"he is said lo have had three engagements to marry on her hands. One of these, Leauders, is a prominent politician residing in southeast Missouri, and another resides in St. I.ouis. Her eonquesis in that section ot the State were numerous during the time she held sway. She was fast, iiul her name was never tarnished with scandal.

The young man was angry, but determined to Ineak the engagement . Sarah Althea heard of it, summoned him into her bewitching presence, and the old infatuation returned so strong that he resolved to swallow the iusidl. Not so Sarah. She had heard that he had told his friends that he intended to break the engagement. She determined on revenge. She never looked lovelier than on the night her luckless lover an swered her call. He was powerless be fore her, and pressed his suit with more energy than ever. Shesaid nothing until he was ready to leave, and as he stop ped for a good night kissoiithethreshoid she turned her head, and, with her eyes bla.iug, said : "Mr. Shaw, you can go. We will cry puts. 1 don't want losce you again." The young man almost lell down the steps, and never saw her afterward. .Now the story goes thai Sarah Althea was really in love with this young man, and expected to win him back. In this siie failed, and ill September, 1X70, (lis gustcd and broken hearted, and with only the wreck of her fortune,. she started lor California. A young uncle named William Sloan accompanied her to the Paeilie coast. He was wealthy, and took his handsome niece to his mother's home. Surah and the old lady did not live in harmony, ami Mr. Sloan gave his niece a line suite ol rooms in a prominent San Francisco hotel. It was there she met Senator Sharon.

A Splendid Account ot a Oellithl. Trip to the King of Mountains Standing t'pon tlie Corner Stone of 1 our counties, F.tc. A more delightful morning than that of tlie Hih instant could not have been se lected by even a weather prophet. It was ten o'clock on this lieautiftil morn ing when we. a party of fifteen, left the iitv of Ashcville destined for Mt. Pisgah, ! weuty-two miles distant. Our horses which even at this lime had caught the inspiration of the moment, east side glances and pawed impatiently its the splendid baskets of luncheon were closed eliiud them. All aboard, a wave of Jim's whip, and our gay party started hi an ascent of four thousand feet in the til". Alter crossing French Broad river, our road followed the right bank of Hominy creek, and at H o'clock we found ourselves at Weaver's mill, w here a din ner was served by the lovely ones: which i:i itsell was enough lo give anapielency I o tin-inosi callous. lL was here that our opinion was continued that we had made a wise selection in our chajicron. While at times her omnipresent vision was ai.noy iug, it Mts p .lliaied by her find courtesy and her untiring efforts to ake each and all happy. We had left Homiiiv vallev, and had I ecu ascending a geiilie incline for several inilcs, when we reached the hospitable onic of Mr. Hart Wat is, just al the foot I little Pisgah. With a large lire before i.is house, we commenced our first c.'imp i.ig expel ience: the joy of which can be appreciated only on a similar occasion. Mr. Walls spared no effort to provide us .villi all couiloris ou uneconomical basis; .old wc can scareclyestiniale our debt of :;raliluile to his kind and accommodat ing wile. Mrs. Watts is a wonderful wo man. 1 He logins experience stiggeslcil lo the mind ol one of our iiartv, a eontin- Irum, which we will give to your world if readers, hoping thai there may be some one with wisdom enough lor its mastery. Il is this: What is it, that when vou put your linger on it it ain't l here, vet it was there:' heaving our wagons behind, at 7 clock on Lhc following morning, we lie in to ascend Little Pisgah. As we climbed the nigged mountain roads, it was curious lo note how easily our guide Acnl oil while we wercconipclied toslow up our engines every tenor fifteen steps, .old rest lor want of steam. Forgetting lie grandeur of our surroundings, out : houghts retlceling, dwell on "Physical H'icuce," "Sullivan, ""Kilraiu," etc. Five hours had elapsed when we reached our camping ground, sotnewdiat I a vale between Little and Big Pisgah, protected on an sines ny lowering moun tains and refreshed by a spring of ice- Id water. 1 1 seems as if the spot were conceived by the motherly heart ol nature is a resting place for its weary pilgrims, is they journey to get a glimpse of this arlhly heaven olf the summit of the mountain king. Pitching our tent, and alter resting tor some lime, we began the ascci t of Mt. Pisgah proper, to witness the sunset. Arriving at the sum mi t it seemed that uir visit had been anticipated by provi lent nature; for here, we found a luxu riant growth ot whortleberries which served to supplement ourfast-bceoming- Icpleted-baskcts. The vision from this point is very extensive, embracing a range of' fifty miles in every direction; from it can be seen Ashcville, Hendersoti- ville and Brevard. It would require the jieii of Scott or Irving to give even a faint idea of the beauties which arc here ex posed. While the scene seemed ethereal, we remembered that our foundation was of the earth, for we were standing on its corner-stone of the four counties: Bun combe, Haywood, Transylvania and Henderson. As we stood there on the dizzy height of six thousand feet, surrounded by the dear ladies whose flushed checks vied with the golden tints of the setting sun. as they kissed a farewell to their day light home, it seemed as if we were borne on the floating clouds; and simultane ously, each voice joined in the uprising choi us, "Nearer My (iod lo Thee." For two days our eyes feasted on the beautiful vision; then, with lingering glances, we retraced our steps home ward, strengthened in the belief, that if the story told us by our preacher .and mother were true that Heaven was till this and more, it is worth the effort of lile to reach it.
