A TRAGEDY OF EVIDENCE, A 8TOUV TOl.t) UV WII.KIK COLLINS. At tlint mcmorablo period in tlio early history of tlio United Stated when American citizens resented tho tyranny of Qeorgo tlio Third and his l'arlimetit by destroying a cargo of taxetl tea, a liristol trader arrived 111 tho harbor of lioston, having 0110 pas senger on board. This person was a young Knglishwoinan, named lather Calvert, daughter of a shopkeeper at Cheltenham and nieco of tlio Captain of tho ship. Some years before her departure from England Esther had suffered from an alllietion associated with a deplorable public event which had shaken her attachment to her native land. Free, at a later period to chooso for herself, she resolvtd on leaving England as soon as emploj merit could bo lound for her in another country. After a weary interval of expectation, the sea Captain had obtained a situa tion for his nieco as housekeeper in tho family of Sirs. Anderkin a widow lady living in 15oston. Esther had been well practiced in domestic duties during tho long illness of her mother. Intelligent, modest and sweet-tempered, sho soon became a ftvorilo with Mrs. Anderkin and tho members of her young family. Tho children found but one fault with tho now housekeeper ; sho dressed invar iably in dismal black ; and it was im possible to prevail upon her to giro tho cause. It was known that she was an orphan, and sho had ackowledged that no relations of hers had recently died and yet sho persisted in wearing mourning. Somo great grief had evi dently overshadowed tho lifo of the gentle English housekeeper. On the day beforo ho sailed on his homeward voyago the sea Captain call ed to tako leavo of his niece, and then asked if ho could also pay his respects to Mrs. Anderkin. He was informed that the lady of tho houso had gone out, but that tho governess would be happy to receivo him. At tho inter view which followed thoy talked of Esther, and agreed bo well in their good opinion of her that the Captain paid a long visit. Tho governess had persuaded him to tell the story of his nieco's wasted lifo. But ho insisted on ono condition. "If wo had been in England,'' ho said, "1 should havo kept tho matter secret for tho sake of the family. Here, in America, Esther is a stranircr hero bIio will stay and no slur will bo cast on tho family name at home. But 1. und ono thin " I I trust to your honor to tako no ouo into your confidence excepting only tlio mistress of tho house." M010 than 100 years have passed sineo theso words were spoken. Esther's sad Btory may bo haimlessly told now. In tho year 17G2 a voting man nam ed John Jennings, employed as a w-aitcr at a Yorkshire . inn, astonished his master by announcing that ho was ejgaged to be married, and that ho purposed retiring Irom business on next quaiter-day. Further inquiry showed that tho young woman's naino was Jisllier ualvert, and that Jennings was greatly her Inferior in social rank. Her father's consent to the marriage depended on her lover's success in ris ing in tho world. Friends with money woro inclined to trust Jennings and to help him to start a business of his own. if -Miss Calvert's father would dp some thing for tht young peoplo on fiis side, lie made no objection and the mar riage engagement was sanctioned ac cordingly. One evening, when tho last days of Jenning'fl Bervico were, drawing to an end, a gentleman on horseback stopped at the inn. In a stato of great agita tion ho informed tho landlady that ho was on his way to Hull, but that ho had been bo frightened as to mako it impossiblo for him to continue- his journey. A highwayman had robbed him ot a purso containing twenty guinea. Tho thief's faco (as usual in thoso days) was concealed by a mask, and theio was but ono chanco to bring him to justice. It was tho traveler's custom to place a privato mark on overy gold piece that ho carried with him on a journey, aud the stolen guineas might possibly bo traced in that way. Tho landlord (ono Mr. Brunei)) at tended on his guest at supper. His wife had only that moment told him of tho robbery ; and he had a circum stance to mention which might lead to tho discovery of tho thief. In tho first place, however, ho wished to ask at what timo the crimo had been committed. Tho traveled answered that ho had been robbed lato in tho evening, just as it was beginning to get dark. On hearing this Mr. Brtinoll looked very much distressed. "I havo pot a waiter hero named Jennings," he paid, "a man superior to his Btation in life good manners and a fair education in fact, a general favorite. But for somo little timo past I havo observed that ho has been rather free with his money in betting, and that habits of drinking havo grown on him. I am afraid ho is not worthy of tho good opinion entertained of him by myself snd by other persons. This evening I sent him out to get somo small silver for me, giving him n guinea to chaugo. Ifocamoback in toxicated, telling 1110 that chango was not to be had. I ordered him to bed, anil then happened to look at tho guinea which lie had brought back. Unfortunately I had not at lhat timo hoard of tho robbery, and I paid tho guinea away with some other money in settlement of a tradesman's account. But this I am suro of there was a mark on tho guinea which Jennings gavo back to inc. It is, of course, possiblo that thero might havo been a maik (which escaped my notice) on tho guinoa which I took out of my purso when I sent for change.'' "Or," tho traveler suggested, "it may have been 0110 of my stolen guineas given back by mistako by this drunken waiter of youra instead of tho guinea handed to him oy yourself. Do you think ho is asleep t "Suro to bo asleep, sir in hia con. dltion." "Do you object, Mr. Brunei), after what you havo told me, to setting thi& matter nt rest by searching tho man's clothes t" Tho landlord hesitated. "It socms hard on Jennings," ho said, "if wo 1886. prove to havo been suspicions of him without a cause. Can you speak posi tively, sir, to tho mark whioh you put on your money 1" Tho traveler declared that ho could swear to his mark. Mr. Bruncll yield ed Tho two wont up together to tho waiter's room. Jennings was fast asleep. At tho very outset of tho search they found tho stolen bag of money in his pocket. Tlio guineas nineteen in number had a mark on each 0110 of them, and that mark tlio traveler identified. After this discovery thero was but ono course to take. The waiter's protestations of innocence when they noko hira and accused him of tho robbery vrcro words flatly contradicted by facts. IIo was chat ged before a Magistrato with tlio theft of thu money, and, as a matter of course, was committed for trial. Tho circumstances were so strongly against him that his own friends recommended Jennings to plead guilty and appeal to tho mercy of tho Court. Ho refused to follow their advice and ho was bravely encouraged to persist in that decision by tho poor girl, who believed in his innocence with her whole heart. At that dreadful crisis in her lifo sho secured tho best legal assistance, and took from her littlo dowry tho money that paid tho ex penses. At tho next assizes Iho caso was tried. Tho proceedings beforo tho Judgo wero a repetition (at great length and with moro solemnity) of the proceedings beforo thu Magistrate. No skill in cross-examination could shako the direct statements of tho wit nesses. Tho evidence was mado abso lutely complcto by the appearance of tho tradesman to whom Mr. Brunell had paid tho marked guinea. Tho coin (so marked) was a curiosity j tho man had kept it and ho now produced it in Court. Tho Judge summed up, finding literally nothing lhat ho could say as an honest man in favor of tlio prisoner. Tho jury returned a verdict of guilty, after a consultation whioh was a mero matter of form. Clearer circumstantial ovidenco of guilt had never been produced in tho opinion of every person but one who was present nt tho trial. The sentenco on Jcannings for highway robbery was, by tho law of those days, death on tho scaffold. Friends wero found to help Esther in tho last effort that the faithful creat ure could now make tho attempt to obtain a commutation of -tho sentence. She was admitted to an interview with the Home Secretary, and her petition was presented to tho King. Here, again, the indisputable ovidenco for bado tlio exercise of mercy. Esther's betrothed husbaud was hanged at Hull. His last words declared his innocence with tlio rope around his neck. Before a year had passed tho ono poor consolation that sho could hopo for in this world found Esther in her misery. Tho proof that Jennings had died a martyr to tho fallibility of hu man justico was madu public by the confession of the guilty man. Another criminal trial took placa at tho assizes. Tho landlord of an inn was found guilty of having stolen tho propeity of a person slaying in his house. It was stated in evidence that this was not his first offense. He had been habitu ally a robber on the highway, and his namo was Brunell. Tho wretch confessed that ho was the masked highwayman who had stolen tho bag of guineas. Riding by a nearer way than was known to tho traveler, ho had reached tho inn first. There he found n person in trade wait ing by appointment for tho settlement of a bill. Not having enough money of his own about him to nay tho whole amount, Brunell had mado uso of ono of tho stolen guineas, and had only heard tho traveler declare that his money was marked after tho trades man had left tho house. To nsk for tiio return of tho fatal guinea was moro than ho dared to attempt. But ore other alternative presented itself. Tho mercilets villain insured his own safety by tho sacrifico of an innocent man. After tho timo when tho sea Captain had paid his yisit at Mrs. Amlcrkiu's house, Esther's position becamo sub ject to certain changes. Ono littlo domestic privilege followed another, so gradually and so modestly that tho housekeeper found herself a loved and honored member of tho family, with out being ablo to traco by what suc cession of uvcnls sho had "risen to tho now place that sho occupied. Tho se cret confided to tho two ladies had been strictly preserved ; Esther nover even suspected that they know tho de plorablo story of her lover's death. Her life, after what sho had suffered, was not prolonged to a great age. She died peacefully unconscious of tho terrors of death. Her last words wero spoken with a smile. Sho looked at tho loving friends assembled round her bed, and said to them. "My dear ono is waiting for me. Good-by." Ice Oream and Ginger Oakes, I1KATII QUICKLY FOLLOWS A Sl.NfSULATt WAOKIt.

From tho son J'ranclsco Chronicle. When (k'orgo Slovenson nsserted his ability to run passenger coaches nt a speed of twclvo to fifteen miles nn hour, scientific and practical men deem ed him lit for ft lunalio asylum, but lime has shown that trains may bo run at a much greater velocity without materially adding to the dangers of railway travel. Tho flight of tho fast express on tho Pennsylvania Railway is a marked example of tho possibilities in tho way of sustaining high rates of speed. This road now runs the fastest train in America. Kino hundred and twclvo miles', including seven stops nro accomplished in 23 hours, and tho average lime is 3C.30 miles an hour. A portion of the distance is run nt tho rate of 7.", miles an hour. At n speed of 00 miles on hour the diivicg wlieols of tho locomotive on this Irani makoi revolutions a minute. Win. Vanderbilt's spurt of 81 miles in 01 minutes on tho New York Central is declared to bo the highest rato of speed over attained in this country, but this speed was not a surprise to good engi neers, many of whom aro firm in tho belief that 100 miles an hour will yet bo accomplished on American roads. Thiity-ono years ago Col. Mwggs road a pajier beforo tho New York Farmer's Club on "Future Travelling" iii which ho expressed tho belief that railroad cars could bo safely propelled by steam at tho rato of 300 miles an hour. Ilo said : "Tho Emperor of Russia has taken the first great step toward what I deem tho ultimatum of railroad travel. Instead of cutting what I call a mero drill through tho country aud going around everything in tho way for a straight lino, ho has cut a broad way for 300 miles from St. Petersburg to Moscow. He has mado it all the way 200 feet wide, so that tho engineer soos everything on tho road. This is part of tho future the railroad from point to point with a mathematical line s-tho rails ten times stronger than aro now used j tho loco motives 011 wheels of a far greator di ameter j the gaujo of a relative breadth tho signals and times perfectly settled ; tho roads on both sides during tho transit of trains having tho gates of the walls all closod then instead of travelling 100 miles an hour, wo shall moro safely travel 300 miles an hour." Ono of tho latest efforts at improve ment in locomotives is that of a French man named Estrade, who has con structed an eng'tno which lie calls La Parisienne. Li Parisienne, when watered and fired, weighs 42 tons. Its driving wheels, six in number, aro 8i feet in diameter. Tho cylinders are outside, with valve boxes on tho top. Tho diameter of each cylinder is 18J inches and tho length of stroko is 2 feet and 3J inches. This cngino is built for high speed, and will carry a jirossuro of 200 pounds to the square moli above tho atmosphere, or an abso luio pressure df 215 pounds. Eslrade's engiuo is designed to run at tho aver ago rato of 78 miles an hour.

And it adds that "this pleas ing condition of affairs could not be if the country to-day were not in much better Bhape than it has beon for a long time.'' This frank admission of a palpable fact does not agree witli tho diro prophecies of evil to tho business in terests of tho country in caso the Dem ocrats wero intrusted with tho control of tho Government which tho Tribune and other Republican organs indulged 'in two years ago. Theso predictions were equally ungenerous and absurd, inasmuch as tho Democrats aro quite as much interested as are their political opponents in tho business prosperity of tho country, whilo ten years out of tho last twclvo of Republican rulo bad been marked by serious business de pression and Labor troubles. But tho Democratic party has now been iu power for a year and a half and has an assured leaso of two years and a half more, with a bright prospect of a long tenure, and yet Mr. Blaino's Now York organ is forced to admit, by tho indi cations of renewed prosperity on all sides, that tho country is to-dav " "in much better shape thin it has been for a long time." Wo aro not disposed to copy tho ex treme partisanship of our Republican neighbors, and claim lhat tho bounti ful crops, tho favorablo condition of trade, the increased earnings of both Capital and Labor and the renewed confidence of tho peoplo aro all duo to tlio party power.
