An Interesting Scene
Rawly In the annals of our criminal (W

~,enei been witnessed, than that exhibited
a few days ago, in Baltimore jail, when the
death warrant of Marion Crops was rend to
the unfortunate prisoner. The event to
which we refer took place on Saturday, the
Nth inst., and is thus described
"At half-past eleven o'clock, in compa
ny with the Deputy Prosecuting Attorney,
Frederick Pmkeny, F.,q , the Shertll procee
ded to the jail for the purpose of reading the
fatal document to the condemned man.—
They entered the cell a few minutes before,
noon, Wnen SherifT Creamer said . ^Marion
(have an instrument from the Governor.
which I have come to read to yon," to which
Crop replied : -God's will, not mine• ue
done '' The :Menu then read the warrant.
During the lime it lens being read, Crops
stood in an humble attitude, with his hand
raised above his eyes and resting against
his foretniad Once or twice he lowered it to
Ids month, shoot which thve was a con viii'
sive twitching of the muscles. Ile seemed
to bear up well under the ordeal, though
now and then a falling tear gave evidehee of
a struggle of mind against the fee that
awaited him. Almost immediately after the
reading of the warrant the Sheriff told the
doomed Marl that everything Ibr comfort
would be provided, and tell evil from the
cell Mr rinkey thee approached Crop and
said he wished to ask him a few questions
for his own satisfaction, to which the con.
dimmed signified assent Ili: then asked,
'•Marion, did you fire that fatal shot -
'rop replied, "No, sir, 11.!4 tlod is iny Judge,
did riot P "Then," 14311 d 'Mr. Pinkney.
did you h ild four hand for a rest for the
ivied ?" And Crop again vaid, Ni sir f
id not." "Ilow then," sand Mr Pink ney.
"do you account for that smell on your hand
on the night of your arrest. 80011 after 7lg•
don was shot ?" Crop replied. •'I do not
know, sir, unless it was from eume rhubarb
I had in my pocket, or from a gun I cleaned
the Clay before." At the (line of the arrest
Crop at-counted for the smell if gunpowder
on hut hand, by saying that he bail dentin]
a gun the day before yeAterd ty, meaning the
Wednesday before the Friday on which Rig
don was murdered Ile aeknos ledged
that the fatal shot was Ilred by his pistol,
but would not tell by whose hands Mr.
Pinkney then told him the court 1 , 1118 done
W 101 him, and ho wound have to hunk to a
higher tribunal for mercy, and counselled
him to prepare for death as there was 110
hope for life
Soon after Crop hail been left alone, Peter
Carrie was brohglit in from Townsentewn by
Sheriff hook and several of his deputies,
when the warden, Capt. James conducted
him to the cell heretofore occupied by the
colored man Stevens,aliam (Whim who was
placed in one on the opposite side of the pas•
sage. Corny looks to be in good health,
and conversed freely WWI those who sow.
rounded him about his approaching fate.--
, Ilia conduct was marked with becoming se
riousness, and his voice subdued. Shortly
after his arrival, Sheriff' Creamer, accompat
med by the warden, visited- his cell, and af
ter an introduction the Sheriff told him that
lie had dust performed the unpleasant duty
of reading to Marion Crop his death warrant
from the' Governor, and gave hue some
Christian advice. The Sheriff spoke to him
but a few minutes when Come ex Pressed a
desire to visit the cell of Crop, which was
at once granted by the warden, who over
heard the expression of the desire. The
:Sheriff and Capt. James then conducted him
to the place of Crop's confincwnt. The
door was thrown open and MX entered
first, when he found hint he • sought with a
brother sitting by his side, the last named
in deep distress. •As_Csrrio approached.
Crop arose (Aga his sax( and the former,
catching the latter by he hand, exclaimed.
"flow do you do, Mal 'I" Crop took tAte
proffered hand, and the vigorous shake ho
received seemed to. take hint somewhat by
surprise. Como then said to him, "Come,
wo are in the same situation—the same fu
ture awaits both• Don't suffer pout feel

' matters nothing to leave this world, so we
i leave it right. Mal, God is good, gracious
anti forgiving; and Ile will forgive us. I
know it, and will put my trust in Ilim and
hope you will do the alma' ,
During the delivery of these remarks Car
rie held Crop llrinly by the hand, who aceni
ed deeply improved. As he was about to
leave the cell Corrle totaihued, ` Good bye,
Mal, I may never see you again. ?lit your
trust in God, and don't sutler Amur feelings
to overcome you Good bye, God bless you
-your only hove is 111 llrpr now•" Crop
seemed deeply effected, and only replied, "I
know it, Come--I know it," and he wiped
away the tears which rushed unbidden to
tin eyes. Come was then reconducted to
cell. The interview WfIN of a deei!ly of
feeling character, and those who were prex•

A Touching Incident.
A correspondent, wrung from Philudel
phis, to the Louisville Democrat, relates the
following :
While an ar,l4 and poorly clad female was
astving alma at the corner of Fourth and
Chestnut streets, d smart looking young
sailor passed within a few feet of her, gazing
for several seconds on her haggard lace --
She approached hum and extended her paltt
in silence. Instantly his hand found its way
to his capacious pocket, and when he drew
it w out it was tilled with gold and silver,
which he forced her to accept say ing .
•• There, good mother, take this : you may
al well have it as the land-nharka. The
last cruise 1 had out of New York found me
with four hundred dollars en hand, but as
the neighbors told me my old mother WAS
dead, I got on a spree with the money,
sent it all inside of it week, and then slim..
nett again."
tt oh good. good air! ypu are too kind to
an oh) body like me. For your sake I will
tak.e it. Ott. you remind tne of my poor
son George, who shipped and was drowned.
Oh, George, George White. Where are you
now." '
George White , !" humedly exclaimed
the iitiw excited sailor. Why that's my
name! And you—you aro my mother!"
With this he seized her in his arms, and
caressed her sinctionattily, while big tears
otioy ran down his bronzed cheek. The
poor woman was entirely overcome by the
recovery ot her long lost child, and wept and
groaned alternately.. A carriage shortly
after conveyed the mother and 800 smoky, ,
leaving many a moistened eIo among the
crowed who witnessed the gem'.
