The publication of the letters of Mrs. Carlyle, which If r.

After bis poor wife was dead and gone from the borne which bis neglect and rude companionship bad made alternately an abode of soli tode and a place of misery to her, and when old age found him alone, with only the memories of a cold, cynical selfish life es bis companions, it is true that his heart was softened and sub dued by the consciousness of the irre parable wrong he had done ber and be then for the first time began to gtva evidence of his Jovp and reverence for her. It was, as ritw. always is. In such cae pltlaU nguVba wltneea hti delation of spirit, to read tee In script Ion be placed on his wife's tomb. and the eulogies he was continually penning to her virtues.

In doing this he dispUyrd the same grim spirit which rnarkt-d him through life, and has left a pictute of hi itself to the deformities of which no admira tion of his genius can ever make us blind.

Brady's TriaiA Pioas Coatplrat Witaess Carey aid Others Tell the Story of their own la fa nay. Dublin, April 12.-rThe trial of Joe Brady, charged with murdering Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke, waa resumed this . morning. James Carey was again placed on tbe witness stand and was crss-examined by counsel for the defence, who elicited the Information that Carey when plot ting the murders with the other men waa a member of a society which re ceived the sacrameut at stated periods. Carey also said be was promised a par don before he determined to give evi dence against hiaXellow conspirators. A photogrsph waa banded to Carey which the witness immediately identified as that of tbe man known as "No. 1." - The witness said he was one of the prime movers in the murder of Burke, but be was under compulsion during the time directly preceding the event. Being closely interrogated by tbe coun sel ou this point he finally admitted that be was not under compulsion when be pointed out Burke to the assassin and urged the murderers to remember that the man clad In a gray suit was rjurke. Tbe witness saitl though ne nad for sixteen yearn been working for wages averaging only two pounds per week, he bad in 1882 ninety tenants occupying his various bouses. Counsel for the defence brought out In sharp contrast to tbe points made by the Crown that Carey drove with his rhii- drea to tbo dour of the church in Fitz Harris' cab en the 0th of May. that he was the first man to suggest that dag gers be used and that he afterwards suggested that the weapons with which the crime was committed should be ?ut on exhibition as national relics, tie answer of the witness to questions put to him concerning promises of par don were given with much beritation. FlnslJv be said lie hsd been informed by Mallon.chlef of the detectives, that if bis evidence should be given freely to the State, and should be confirmed by that of other witnesses, he and his brother would lie pardoned for their share in the conspiracy. This state ment caused some sensation. His at tention being called to trifling details which had been discovered lately relat ing to the movements of Fitz Harris' ctb in the park on the day of the mur- i:er. ai:d which bad not been given by the witness. Carey remarked quietly. hut aith evident significance, that he hd so far only answered the iu8tions put to him bj the counsel. miiU that he cou!d. if unrestricted and if he desired, tell a great deal more. ; The cross ex amination of Carey was very severe snd seairhiuf. The counsel for thedrfeise said. In remarking on the witnesses' testimony, that Carey's hands were steeped in blood. Carey said "that is not true." Subetquently Carey said be was only telling half what be knew, and be was more ft iendly to the counsel for defense than tbe cuiisf I himself was aware of. for he bad told tbe latter to bear in mind that be was not telling everything that be knew against bis client. The counsel vehemently protested that it was hU wish to have no friendly inter course with the witness and no favor from bim. Michael Kavanaugh. who drove the car in which the muraWrers rode, was then called to I he stand. lie repeated bis former evidence in substantially the same language. He made a material amendment to ILhowever, by saying that irwasSliTtlinibtT5e1ahey. whom he drove to the scene of tbe murder with Carey. His statement made be fore ki a mistake. His testimony showed that it was Bnvly who directed bim whf re to drive and designated tbe place for him to wait for the murderers on May Cth last. Joaepb Smith, another one or the ac cused meu who turnrd informer rr- Ktted the ttory of his dairies iu PluMiix uk on May 0 h. as related by James Carey at tl e preliminary bearing. Smith said he was sworn as an Invinci ble three weeks before the murders were committed. The luvincibTes had a secret sign by which they recognized each other, which was tbe .holding of a knife in tlie unlm of the hand. Daniel Curley bad introduced himself to the witness by means or tnts sign, tuner witnesses were called by the prosecu tion, among them beiug Godden. tbe Pbo?nlx Park ranger, and the son of Jsmee Carey. Tne latter deposed con cerning tbe search for the knives used bv tbe murderers, the result or which said was reported to Brady. Tbe phy cians who examined the bodies of Cav- nish and Burke then gaveevidence rel ative to the naturejof the wounds. Tbe case for tbe prosecution was closed at three o'clock. The case for the defense was then opened. Counsel for the defense spoke for an hoar. His argument was in support of an alibi for the prisoner. James Mullet, another of the prison ers has made a statement to the Crown on the strength of whioh It Is said he accepted as an approver, ine photo graphs recognized by Carey as "No. 1 were those or xynan.

BREWSTER VERSUS MELTON. Who is Responsible for the Political Prosecationsl ChaneatOD Mews sad Courier. Columbia. April 11. I have beard authoritatively to-day of two interest ing letters. One was from Attorney General Brewster to ex-Governor Man ning, who was an old college mate of his, assuring bim that he bad no heart in this work of prosecuting tbe white men of South Carolina, but that he was unable to help it. that he had no feeling against our people and that Melton was the cause of it. Melton, he said, had J reported to the Government tbat there was ctuse r.r the prosecutions ana mat convictions could and would be bad. Brewster's statement in tbe above letter derives at least a semblance of tiulh from the oi her letter to which I have alluded, and which has been read by prominent gentlemen. It is a letter from Melton himself in reply to a Re publican of Sumter county, who wrote to Melton to entreat him to abandon the case against Supervisor of Registra tion Gaillard. Melton in his reply said that he would grant the request in this instance, but asked him not to snake such a plea again, for although these prosecutions might have no effect now they would have great effect on the election of 18i4 RAILROAD COLLISION.

THE OPERA. "Yosmr Mrs. Wialhro" and "Fun ia a Hoarding School" Comlag. The celebrated play, which has had a run of two hundred night at the Mad ison Square theatre, in New York, is to presented to the Charlotte public on tbe 13th, and from the story ot the play one can best judge what it is to be. .,' Doug las wmtbrop, taken up with business cares, becomes careless of his home. where he is rarely seen, and the - wife, finding want of society, quits her borne also to seek in the ball room and other social gatherings the companionship she misses. He would not, perhaps, have so much objected, but there is one woman, a Mrs. Dunbar, against whom he cautions her, and whose society, for his own reasons, he wishes her to avoid. But, unfortunately ,Mrs. Dick Cheiwyn, a merry, giddy, thoughtless woman. who has recently married for the third time, happens to call, and, in the course of gossiping conversation, lets out tbat Douglas had been seen at the hoose of Mrs. Dunbar. This results in further extravagance, and a kind-hearted law yer, who has known the young couple all their life long; is called in to id raw up a deed of separation. But, desiring to effect a reconciliation, be informs the husband tbat be must return in three months to sigh otber papers. r' Throngtr the lawyer Mrs. Wmtbrop learns dur ing her husband's absence, tbat' bis visits to Mrs. Dunbar were . majle to shield her (Mrs. Winthrop's) brother from disgrace as a defaulter. When the ih us band returns bis! wife's; first words are to thank him formally for saving her brother. The lawyer secretly chuckles. This Is one step toward a reconciliation, but be aits 'down to the table and opens the deed. Then le re calls the happy days when be knew them first in their beautiful country home, when, as boy and girl lovers,they get into all sorts of scrapes. : Then something brings up the scene of ; their happy wedding, and the blessings showered upon them by loving friends. Almost unconsciously they are led to join in the reminiscences of the hearty old lawyer. A deeper chord Is touched still when they have to speak of their lost child. "But thesa are digressions,' says the man of law, feeling that the chance will be lost If be delays. "Come, both of you, and sign the deeds." Tne wife baa tbe pen in her hand ; bat these sweet memories dim her eyes.- and choke her utterance, while, on bis side,' Douglas is equally ready to forget and forgive. He steps forward, and in a moment they are clasped in a tender embrace, and the faithful lawyer claps bis bands delightedly over the blank deed which will never be signed. On the night following the presenta tion of Lbia play we are to.have "Fun in a Boarding School," j by the Ince Comedy Company. Of its presentation In Hoaetoh the Post says: "Tbe play, as the name implies, is fun from begin ning to end, and to the making of fun and creation of laughter everything about the plot is subservient, except its musical feature, which is exceedingly fine. The play is a light musical come dy, something on the order of the Troubadours and other plays of a like character. Tbo company is a very good one, and well equal to tha emergency of keeping an audience in roars of laughter from beginning to end. There is no vulgar htrmor In the performance, but the fine local : hits and rare wit ap peal to tha risibilities of the most re fined audience. The company are all fine vocalists, especially Miss Llsetla EllanL and the songs. solos, duetts snd quartettes are all new and taking. Mr. John . Ince Is an excellent elocution ist, and his laniappe especially last night. A recitation from the Pickwick papers was an excellent display of rare power of elocution." . ! 1 CoaUagDraaaaleatUJtastea.

Charlotte appears to be blessed with an abundance of swindlers' and beats of all sorts, the past few weeks, and tbe latest is the "artist in designs,", a, da dela sort of a youth,all the way from England.

At one o'clock in tbe night, they saw a train pass by 200 yards ahead of them and with a shout of joy they put out in the direction of the road, knowing that once on the track they were safe.
