A RICH CASE.

Some years ago an Irishman was knocked down
and robbed. He accused man of having commit
ted the robbery, and in due time the case came up
for trial. The Irishman being upon the stand. was
cross examined, after having sworn positively to
the guilt Of the prisoner, by one of our keenest
lawyers, and something like the following was the
result:
"You say that the prisoner at the bar was the
man who assaulted and robbed you2''

"Was it moonlight when the occurrence took

"Not whit. 1t was so dark that you could not

"Was there any light shining from any house
near by %
'Divil bit of house was there any where

"Well, then, if there was no moon. no star light
no light from any house, and so dark that YOU
couldn't even see your hand before you how are
you able to swear that the prisoner is the man L?

"Why, yer honor, whn the spalpeen struck me

The court, jury, counsel, and spectators, expo-
ded with shouts at this quaint idea, and the prison

CHARACTER OFPETER THE GREAT
OF RUSSIA.

Peter the Great was one Of the most re.
markable men who ever appeared on the
theatre Of public affairs. He was nothing
by halves. For good or evil he was gigan-
tic. Vigor seems to have been the great
characteristic Of his mind; but was often
.fearfully disfgured by passion, and not un-
frequently misled by the examples of more
advanced states. To elevate Russia to an
exlalted place among nations, and give
her the influence which her vast extent
and physical resources seemed to render
within her reach, was throughout life the
great object of his ambition, and he succeed
ed in it to an extent which naturally acquir-
ed for him the unbounded admiration Of
manki.d.--His overthrow of the ,Strelitzes,
long the Pr@etorian guard aud terror of the
czaas Of Muscovy, was effected with vig-
or and stained by cruelty similar to that
with which Sultan Mohammed''a century
after destroyed the Jamissaries at Constsn-
~tinople. The sight Of a young and despo-
tic sovereign leaving the glittering toys
and real ~enjoyments Of royalty to labor in
dock yards Of Saardem with his own hands,
and instruct his subjectsin ship. building by
first teaching himself, vas too striking and
remarkable not to excite universal atten-
ton. And when the result Of this was seen
when the Gar was found introducing a.
mong his subjects the military discipline,
naval architecture, nautical skill or any Of
the arts and warlike institutions Of Europe,
and in consequence Of long resisting and
at length destroying the terrible ~conquerer
who had so long been the terror Of Nor
THEREIN Europe. the astoniEhment of men
knew no hounds. He was at ono Tie sobn
and Scopio Of modern times; and literary
