ProartoUr. Not guilty- A Scene In Court. I SHALL never forgot my first vision of William Denton. It was in the court house at Little-Rock, Arkansas, in the summer of 1834. The occasion Itself pos sessed a terrible interest-, well-calculated to fix in the memory nil its circumstances. A vast concourso of spectators had assembled to witness the trial of a young and very beautiful girl on an indictment for murder. Tlio Judgo waited at the moment for tho sheriff to bring in his prisoner, and the eyes of the impatient multitude eagerly watched tho door for the expected advent, when suddenly a stranger entered, whoso remark ablo appearance riveted universal attention. Here is his portrait done as accurately as pen can Bketch it. A figure tall, lean, sinewy and straight as an arrow; a brow massive, soaring, and smooth as polished marble, intersected by a large bluo vein forked like the tongue of a serpent; eyes reddish yellow, resembling a wrathful eagle'B as brilliant, as fearfully piercing; and finally, a mouth slight, cold and sneering the living embodiment of tinbreathed curses 1 lie was habited in leather, ornamented, after the fashion of Indian costume, with beads of every color in the rainbow. Elbowing bis way proudly and slowly through the throng, and seemingly alto gether unconscious that he was regarded as a phenomenon that needed explanation, tho singular being advanced, and, with the haughty air of a king taking his throne, seated himself within the bar, crowded as it was with tho disciples of Coke and Blackstone, several of whom, it was known, esteemed themselves far superior to those old and famous masters. The contrast between the disdainful countenance and outlandish garb of the stranger excited especially the risibility of the lawyers, and the junior members begaa a suppressed titter, which soon grew loud er and swept around the circle. They doubtless supposed the intruder to be some wild hunter of the mountains, who had never before seen tho interior of a hall of justice. Instantly the cause and object of tho laughter perceived it. Turning his head gradually, bo as to give each laugher a look of infinite scorn, ho ejaculated the single word "Savages !" No pen can doscribo tho unspeakable malice, tho defiant force which he threw into that term; no languago can express tho infornal furore of his utterance, although it hardly exceeded a whisper. But ho ac cented every letter as if it were a separato emission of fire that scorched bis quivering lips, laying horriblo emphasis on tho letter both at the beginning and ending of the word. It was a mixed growl, intermediate betwixt tho growl of a rod tiger and the hiss of a rattlesnake " Savagtt 1" It cured everybody of the disposition to laugh. The general gaze, howe vor, was then di verted by tho advent of the fair prisoner, who came in surrounded by her guard. The apparition was enough to drive even a cynic mad, for hers was a style of beauty to bowildcr tho tamest imagination and heart a gleaming picture, enamelled with fire and fixed in a frame of gold from the stars. It was tho spell of an enchantment to bo felt as well as seen. We might feel it in the flashes of her countenance, clear as sunlight, brilliant as the iris; in the classic contour of her features, symmetri cal as if cut with an artist's chisel; in her hair of rich ringlets, flowing without a braid, softer than silk, finer than gossamer; in her eyes, blue as the heaven of southern summer, large, liquid, dreamy; in her mo tions, graceful, swimming, like tho gentle waftures of a bird's wing In tho sunny air, in her figure, slight, ethereal a sylph's or a seraph's; and more than all, in the ever lasting smile of the rosy lips, so frank, so soreno, so like starlight, and yet thrilling the soul as a shock of electricity. As the unfortunate girl, so tastefully dressed, so incomparable as to personal charms, calmly took her place boforo the bar of her judge, a murmur of admiration arose from tho multitude, which the prompt interposition of the court could scarcely re press from swelling into deafening cheers. The murmur was followed by a loud un earthly groan from a solitary bosom, as of some one in mortal anguish. All eyes were centered on tho stranger, and all were struck with surprise and wonder, for his features writhed as if in torture that his rain of tears could not assuage. But what could be the cause of this suddon emotion ? Could any connection exist between him, the apparently rudo hunter, aud that fairy girl, more beautiful than a blossom of sum mer, aud In countenance celestial as a star ? The judge turned to the prisoner " Em ma Greenleuf, the court has been informed that your counsel Colonel Linton, is sick and cannot attend. Have you employed any other?". She answered in a voice sweet as the war ble of the uightingalo, and clear as the song of the skylark "My enemies have bribed all the lawyers, even my own, to It tick; but God will defend the Innocent !" At this response, so touching in its sim ple pathos, a portion of the auditor buzzed applause and the rest wept. On the in stant, however, the leathor-robcd strangor, whose aspect bad previously excited so much merriment, approached the prisoner, and whispered something In her ear. 8ho bounded several inches from tho floor, ut tered a wild shriek, and then stood pale and trembling as if in the presence of a ghost from the grave. All, now, could perceive that that thcro must bo somo mys terious connection between the two and the scene assumed the profound interest of a genuine romance. The stranger addressed the court in accents as sonorous as tho tono of an organ " May it please your honor, I will defend tho legal lights of the lady." " What 1" exclaimed tho astonished judgo, "aro you a licensed attorney?" " The rjucstion is immaterial and irrele vant," replied tho stranger with a sneer, " as your statute entitles any person to act as counsel at tho request of a party." " But docs tho prisoner request it?" asked the judge. "Let her speak for herself said the stranger. " I do," was her answer, as a long-dawn sigh escaped that seemed to rend her very heart-strings. " What Is your name, as it must be placed on the record ?" interrogated the judge. " William Denton," said the stranger. Tho case immediately progressed. We will briefly epitomise the substance of the evidence. About twelve months previously the defendant had arrived in the town, and opened an establishment of millinery. Residing in a small room back of her shop and all alone, she prepared the various ar ticles of her trade with unwearied toil and consummate taste. Her habits were se cluded, modest, and retiring; and hence she might have hoped to escape notoriety, but for the perilous gift of that extraordi nary beauty, which too often, and to the poor and friendless, proves a curse. She was soon sought after by those gay fire-flies of fashion, tho business of whose life Is everywhere seduction and ruin. But the beautiful stranger rejected them all alike with unutterable scorn and loathing. Among the disappointed admirers was one of a character from which the fair mil liner had everything to fear. Hiram Shore belonged to a family at onco opulent, influ ential, and disappointed. Ho was himself licentious, brave, and revengeful, and a duelist of established and terrible fame. It was generally known that be had made ad vances to win the favor of the lovely Emma and had shared the fate of all her other woers a disdainful repulse. At nine o'clock on Christmas night, 1833, the pcoplo of Little-Iiock were startled by a loud scream, as of some one in mortal ter ror; while following that, with hardly an interval, came successive reports of fire arms one, two, three a dozen deafening explosions. They flow to the shop of the milliner, whence the sounds emanated, and pushed back the unfastened door. A dreadful scene was presented. There she stood in the centre of the room, with a revolver in each hand, every barrel dis charged, her features pale, her eyes flash ing wildly, and her lips parted with an awful smile 1 And thero at her feet, wel tering in his warm blood, his bosom liter ally riddled with shot, lay the all-dreaded duellist, Hiram Shore, gasping iu tho last agony. Ho articulated but a single sen tence" Tell my mother that I am dead and gone to h II 1" and instantly expired. "In God's namo, who did this?" ex claimed the appalled spectators. " I did it 1" said the beautiful milliner, in her sweet, silvery accents. ' " I did it to save my honor 1" Such is a brief abstract of the essential circumstances, developed in the examina tion of witnesses. The testimony closed and tho pleadiugs began. First of all, Fowler, Pike, and Ashley, (all famous lawyers at that time in the south-west) spoke in succession for the prosecution. They about equally partition ed their eloquence botwixt tho prisoner and her advocato, covering the latter with such sarcastio wit, raillery, and ridicule as made it a doubt whether ho or his client was the party then on trial. As to Denton, howev er, he seemed to pay not the slightest at tention to his opponents, but remained mo tionless, witlt his forehead bowed on his hands, like one buried in deep thought or in slumber. , When his time came, however, he sud denly sprang to his feet, crossed the bar, and took a position almost touching tho foreman of the jury, he then commenced in a whisper, but In a whisper so wild, pe culiar, aud indeacribubly distinct as to fill tho hall from floor to galleries. At the outset he dealt in pure logic, ana lyzing and combining the proven facts, till the whole mass of confused evidence look ed transparent as a globe of crystal, through which tho Innocence of his client shone luminous as a sunbeam, while tho jurors nodded to each other signs of thorough conviction. The thrilling whisper and con centrated argument, and languago simple a a child's, had satisfied the demands of the Intellect, and this, too, in only twenty minutes. It was like the work of a math ematical demonstration. He then changed hit posture so as te weep the bar with bis glance, and, like a raging lion, rushed upon hi adversaries, tearing and rending their sophistries into atoms. His sallow face glowing like a red- hot iron, the forked blue vein swelled and wreathed on his brow, his eyes resembled livo coals, and bis voice was the clangor of a trumpet I never, before or since, listen ed to such appalling denunciation. It was liko Jove's eagle charging a flock of crows. It was like Jove himself hurling thunder bolts in the shuddering eyes of inferior gods. And yet in the highest temper of his fury ho seemed wonderfully calm. Ho employed no gesture save one the flash of along bony finger directly In tho pallid faces of his legal foes. Ho painted their venality and unmanly baseness In coalescing for money to crush a friendless female, till a shout of stifled wrath broke fiom the multitude, aud somo of the sworn panel cried " Shame !" And thus the orator had carried another point had aroused a per fect storm of indignation against tho pros ecutors and this also in twenty minutes. He changed his thome once more. His voico grew mournful as a funeral dirge and his eyes filed with tears, as he traced a viv id picture of man's cruelties and woman's wrongs, with special applications in the case of his client, till half the audience wept like children. But it was in the peroration that he reached the zenith both of terror and sub limity. His features were livid as those of a corpse ; his very hair appeared to stand on end ; his nerves shook a with a palsy ; he tossed his hands wildly toward heaven, each finger spread apart and quivering like the flame of a candle, as he closed with the last words of the deceased Hiram Shore Tell my mother that I am dead and gone to hell 1" His emphasis on tho word hell embodied the elements of all horror. It was a wail of immeasurable despair a wild howl of infinite torture. No language can depict its effect on all who heard it. Men groaned, women shrieked, and one poor mother was borne away in convulsions. The entire speech occupied but an hour. The jury rendered a verdict of " not gtjilty" without leaving the box, and three tremendous cheers, like successive roars of an earthquake, shook the court-house from dome to corner-stone, testifying the joy of the people. At tho same moment tho beautiful milliner bounded to her feet and clasped the triumphant advocato in her arms, exclaiming " Oh, my husband I my dear husband 1" Denton smiled, seized her hand, whis pered a word in her eat, and the two left the bar together, proceeding to the landing, and embarked on a steamboat bound for New Orleans. It seems that they bad pre. viously parted on account of bis causeless jealousy, after which she assumed a false namp and come to Little Rock. How ho learned her danger, I could never ascer tain. They returned to Texas. Tho husband was a colonel in the revolution, and escaped its perils only to fall tho next year in a ter rible fight with the Camanches. A new county in tho cross-timbers, a country of wild woods romantic as his own eloquence, and of sun-bright prairie beautiful as his own Emma's sweet face, commemorates his name tho name of a trauscendant star that set too soon, which had now been the first luminary iu the political sky of Texas, if not in the circle of tho whole Union, for ho was nature's Demosthenes of the west ern woods I A Good Wife Or a Tongh Story. A rich old gentleman, somewhat famous for his aneudotinal powers, told a story the other evening which shows that ho cither has a most remarkablo wife, or else that he has a remarkablo faculty for extending tho truth. Ho said he' had not been hard pressed for money during late years, but he was once when he was doing a largo business. "One day in particular," ho said, " I looked so terribly glum at break fast, that my wifo discovered something was tho matter. "What ails you, my dear?" says she. "Well," says I, "if you will know, I have got seventeen thousand dollars to pay to day, aud nothing to do it with." "Is that all?" says she. "Aud enough too," says I. With that she says nothing, but whips up stairs, and brings me down tho seventeen thousand dollars, all iu the small chango I had given her, from time to timo, to do her marketing with." tA facetious individual not many miles from Daubury, Conn., sought to "draw his wife out" by pretending to be found dead with an empty laudanum phial by his side. And that lady was a good dual shocked at first, but having read that a needle introduced into the human flesh would indicate on the surface whether the flesh was dead, and being a woman of eminent practicability, she at once armed herself with a polished instrument of nearly two inches growth and with throb bing heart and bated breath introduced a good share of its length Into an appropri ate portion of tho deceased. What tho surface of the nuedlo really indicated was not learned, as he took it with bim as he passed through the sash. I2T A wifo having lost her husband, was Inconsolable for bis death. "Leave me to my griof," she cried, sobbing, "you know the extreme sensibility of my nerves a mere nothing upsets them 1" K N I Q M A DEPA11TMEN T . A RIDDLE. God made Adam out of dust. But thought It best to make me flrsl.' 8o I was made before the man, According to his holy plan. My body Ho made complete, But without legs or arms or feel. A living creature I became, And Adam gave me my name. Then from his presence I withdrew, No moro of Adam I ever knew. Thousands of miles I go in fear, Bnt seldom on the earth appear. My body was complete and whole, But I was made without a soul. Bnt Ood in me did something see, And put a living soul In me. A ton In me the Lord did claim, And took from me that soul again. And when that soul from me had fled, I was tho same as when first made. And without legs or arms or soul, I travel now from pole to pole ; I labor hard from day to night, To fallen man I give great light, Thousands of people, yonng and old. Do by my death great light behold. The Scriptures I cannot believe, Whether right or wrong, I can't eoneelvev They are to me an empty sound, Although my name therein is found. No fear of death doth troublo me, For happiness I cannot see. To Ileaven above I ne'er shall go, Nor to the grave, or hell below. And when my friends these lines you read, Oo search the Scriptures with all speed, And if my name yon find not there, It mast be strange I do declare. 7" Who of our readers who have not al ready heard this riddle, can sond as the correct answer. A Problem. IIow long would It take a sqnlrrol to tarry 100 ears ef corn to his nest, provided be car ries 3 ears the first trip, 4 ears the second trip, 3 ears the third trip, and so on alternately supposing It takes him two minutes to each trip? A Joke on Butler. A RATHER amusing story is in cir culation at the expense of the emi nant gentleman from Massachusetts com monly called "Old strabismus." At the President's levee the. other night, which was densely crowded, anold lady from tho interior somewhere, in a faint condition, requested her husband to get hor an ice. ' "Can't be did," responded "hub" In some irritation 1 "thcro ain't no refresh ments here." ' ' " Don't believe it: Didn't we got plenty at Belknap's the other night?" the old woman said angrily ; "now go and get me an ice and somo lemonade." " I tell you now don't be a fool; there ain't no refreshments, everybody says so," grunted the lord and master. " You aro quite mistaken, sir," said the Hon. S. 8. Cox, who happened to be near, and who never looses an opportunity to put in a joke. " The Tresidcnt always pro vides substantilly. There is his battler, whose Business it is to show ladies to tho upper room," and the Hon. little jester pointed to Genoral Butler. " You'll find ' him a little stuck up aud cross, but you mustn't mind that; toll him to gut you ter rapins." This was said so gravely that the two stragglod through the crowd to where Gon. Butlor was talking to some ladies. "Isay, mister, lam told you are the butler," said the man. "I'm General Butler," 'replied Old Strabismus pleasantly, thinking the two country people filled with admiration of his greatness. " I don't care whether you aro a General Butler or not, but my wifo wants some terrapins and lemonade." "Sir?" snorted old B., iu amazemont and disgust. "Oh: don't tako on airs, old cock. Come now, hurry up them terrapins. " You must bo drunk, sir 1 you must be' drunk I "No he ain't," screamed tho wife. "He's a Knight Templar, he ain't drunk, but I guess you are." Roars of laughter greeted this, in which 8. S. Cox was forced to join. General Butler, reddened in the face and began pulling his cheek out In the most violent manner. " I don't understand this extraordinary conduct. What do you want, sir what do you want ? " Terrapins, I toll you." " What do you tako mo for, you cussed fool?" roared Bonjamiu. " You call me a cussed fool aud I'll hit you on the snouts" screamed the man. At this juncture an officer of thejpoliece seized the belligerent husband and led him away amid much laughter. Butler, turn ing suddenly, saw the mischief maker. " I say, Cox, did you do that ?" " Well, yes, I'm afraid I did." " Well, I owe tho terrapins, and I'll pay you, mind that I'll pay you." ' And the two walked lovingly away, tW A young gontlenian who had just married a little bcauiy, says : " She would have been taller, but she is made of such precious materials that nature couldn't af ford it."
