LOBD NT. LEONARDS. r el Ikw Brin.h . uliir .1 Crtaasaal AsMala. A London cablegram say* : Th* trial tjai prompt conviction of Lord St. Leonards (or a criminal assault upon Miss Emma Cole bas been the principal sensation in London to-day. Tbs trisl took place at tbe Middlesex Sessions in Clsrksnwsll, and was presided over by Bir Tbosoas Cham- bers, M. P. tor Marvlebooe, and Recorder et tbe city of London. The court room was crowded with spectators, wbo were attracted by the novel ipeetacle of a pcci of tbe realm being placed in son an unenviable petition. Lord 81. Leonards wae attended by his brother. Mr. Walter Sugdeo, aud was ably defended by Edward George Clarke, Q. C . M. P. lor Plymouth, who is one of tbe leading criminal counsel at London. He made a powerful tpeeoh for the defence, dwelling especially on tbe admission by tbe pretty complainant that she had once had a lover witb whom she was unduly intimate. Tbe jury was out but a very few minute*, and returned a verdict of guilty as indicted and without any recommendation to mercy. This result was fully expected, aud, indeed, wat regarded at inevitable from the oonoluaivenesa of tbe evi- dence. Tbe Recorder remanded tbe prisoner and sanoncoed that sentence would not be pronounced until tbe June teeeion of tb* court. No appeal is contemplated by tbe counsel of Lord Si. Leonards, but bis few remaining friends are busily engaged in preparing affidavits to support a motion in mitigation of sentence. It u expected that the penalty imposed will be comparatively light, perhaps a year in Millbank, wbiob, it is recalled, is just tbe term of imprison- ment served by Col. Valentine Baker for a simiar offene* with muon greater pallia- tion. Emma Cole was a domestic servant witb Mr. 8. Crawford, a casual acquaintance of Lord Bt. Leonards. On Tneeday, in tb* absence of Mr. and Mrs. Crawford in Lon- don, tbs prisoner went to Mr. Crawford's bouse at about eight o'clock, and the prose- sutrix answering th* door, he requested to be famished with a piece of string to tie np sis dig. She, seeing that be ws* intoxi- sated, attempted to shot th* door . but tbe prisoner forced bis way in and entered the drawing-room, where b* rotgbly took bold ef the prosseutrix and attempted to drag her toward a sofa. In doing *o tbe was bruised on ths breast and on on* of her left. Bbe escaped from him, and tne prisoner left bouse, and she informed a man named Detmar, who was at work in the garden, of what bad occurred. Shortly afterward Lord Bt. Leonards re- turned to the boose and requested to be givea hie short clay pipe that be had left en tbe drawing-room table. Mr. 8. Craw- ford stated that he had received an excellent character witb the proseoutnx. wbo bad conducted herself in the most satisfactory way sines sbs had been ia hi* service He had been previously cautioned against Lord 81.

Tb* worthy oitiaso* living in tb* suburban districts of South San Francisco and Batofasrtowo are greatly excited at present, but their excitement amounts to almost nothing when compared with their indignation. Tbe peace of their borne* bas been suddenly shattered by the advent of a crank in their midct, and all the efforts of Officer Bennett and tbe ether policemen stationed in that district have thus far been unssooeeofnl in ferreting him out. When the neighbor* meet in tb* morning tbs firm question they ask on* another is, " Who** feet ware tickled last night ? ' Tbe cause of tbeir uneasiness can be briefly ex- plained. Shortly after midnigbt a few weeks ago a gentleman living witb his family near the alaoghter-bonie was awakened from hie sleep by Iks piercing shticks of his daughter, a youc^j miss of 16 summer*. He grabbed a revolver and hurriedly ran to her room, in the ex- pectation of meeting a burglar. Tbe girl was almost dead from flight, and in broken accents she nerratcd to hsr father tb* cause of th* outcry. She bad been rudely awakened from her dreama of innocence by a tickling sensation in th* soles of ber feet. When she opened ber eves she saw, by tbs aid of tbe pal* moon light, wbiob was struggling through the bed-room window, a masked man standing at the foot of ber bed. She shrieked, and tbe intruder sprang through the window, out into tbe yard, wbiob is a few feet below, and made bis escape. Tbe father at first thought that the girl bad been dreaming, but the cold night air we tied up from the bay, toon made him realize that th* bed-room window was open and tbe adven- ture a reality. He closed th* window and sat down on a chair to cogitate on ths strange affair, when hi* teeth began to chatter. He started off for bis own bed, to continue bit meditation, when be discov- ered that tbe front door was open. He closed and locked tbe door, and when be reached hi* bed-room be found hi* wit* aiming tbe window in Ibe room. A hurried investigation showed that all tb* windows and door* on tbe lower floor of tbe bouse Lad been opened by tb* midnigbt prowler. Tbe next day the police authorities were notified of tb* nocturnal visitor. Boaroely a night passes now but that some female i* awakened by the fiend tickling her feet. A* soon at the victim wakes up the man make* his escape, either through anopeu window or door. In every instance tbe prowler opent all the doors and windows in the bouse before he pro- ceed* witb hi* deviltry. The man wear* a wide brimmed hat, carries a dark lantern and bate tbe lower portion of bis face con- cealed by a towel or olotb. He never steals anything, or at any rale nothing has been misted from tbe house* visited, except in one cam, where a towel was taken. It ii probable that the liend forgot hi* disguise that night and took tbe towel to use as a mask. A few nights tgo a married lady fell the prowler tiokling ber feet.

Tb* stained-glass craze in fashionable households is waning, and the otinion of intelligent people in that wholesale imita- tion killed it.

Fold, each piece across the longest iy four times, mskicg it eight double and an inch or more in width, according to the size of tbe paper. Plaoe four of the pieces, alternate colors, and " weave " tbe other four across them. The braided or woven part to be in tbe centre of tbe strips. Fasten tbe braid with a needle and thread, then cut the ends into fine etripv, tbe smaller tbe strips tbe prettier the fringe. After cutting tbe fringe lay tbe mat on a table, take a damp cloth (merely damp) over your band and rub tbe fringe round and round, then rub it round between your bands, this make* it crinkle up. Paste a pieoeof stiff paper under the mat and they are lasting and beautiful. Tbe moths do not eat them, and a shake will dislodge tb* dost. Take warm red (knit) woollen shirt*.
