    KEMMLER KRSPITED. |
HI EXECUTION STAYED BY A UNI-
TED STATES JUDGE-
JHE GROUND ON WHICH THE HABEAS
CORPUS WAS GRANTED,
NEW YOrg, April 29,—Judge
William J. Wallace, who granted the
writ of habeas corpus for Kemmler,
arrived in town to-night and put up
at the Hoffman House.
“This writ was granted to Kemm-
ler’s Buffalo counssl,” he sald, *‘Gpon
the application of a well-known New
York lawyer. It was defective in
that it did not bear Kemmler’s signa-
ture, nor the seal of the Court, but the
situation was such an urgent one that
I could pot justify myself in stopping
to deliberate over technicalities. The
man was hable to be executed at any
moment, and, having in my mind a
doubt of the constitutionality of the
Jaw by which he was to meet his death,
1 signed the papers.”
This was all that the Judge would
say ou the matter.

CHERISH YOUR IDEALS.
Genuine Intellectual Life Must
Always Be a Personal Matter.
Iu every community there are to be
found men and women who are steadily
moving ahead of the rank and file of
their neighbors and companions; every
year reveals a wider separation and
stamps them with a more aspiring per-
sonality. ¥ven the most unobservant
begins to feel that there is something
unusual about these marked men and
women; something which defines {hem
from the mass of commonplace sbout
them. There are men and women who
are born to rise by the possession of
some spiritual quality, some aspiration
which by its own impulse lifts them out
of their surroundings and sets them in
a new world of thought and feeling.
It is not necessary that one should be
born amid the surroundings of refine
ment and culture in order to attain the
very best results which these things
have to give, It is an advantage to be
thus born, and to absorb in childhood,
by the unconscious process of early
education, much that must otherwise be
learned; but this is an advantage which
sa good many strong natures have
missed without apparently suffering
any real loss. The making of an intel
lectual life is always a personal matter.

Thus in self-conscionsness we know self

these are real, as is also all that we ol»

differ from imaginations, say a fairy, &
ghost, a mermaid ; aad commonly the
two can be dustinguished. We call the
one real, the other unreal. We can ex-
plain or even understand the facts of
which we are conscious without calling

{ that, in common with other suns, he
has Lis system of planets ciréling round

and what a system! Vast as ours ap-
poars, it is dwarfted into insignifi-
pance compared with a system whose
ruling orb is 5000 times larger than
that which does duty for us. There
wemnes, also, no reason to doubt that
these planels are intended to be the
abode of Jife; it may be that at the pres

signa of life, but 1 think we may safely
infer without improbability that each
one of these worlds has a destined
period in its development during which
life, similar to that which now prevails
on our planet, would be in existence
Wht a world such a one would be in
size, perhaps, not inferior to that of
our sun, himself a million times larger
than our earth; and it may be that as
this Sieizn world is so vastly saperior
to ours 1n size, its inhabitants wouid be
on a scale in proportion to its dimen-
sions, a race of beings of such intellect
and civilization compared with whom
we are but savages. — Chambers Jowr
