THE CRIMINAL WITNESS.

In the spring Of 'iS was called to Jack.
son to attend court. having been engaged to
defend Young man accused Of rpbbing the
mail. ] had a lung conference with nv
client, and he acknowledged to me that on
the night when the mail was robbed he had
been with party &c ,lissipatc,l companions
over to ropham. aud that on returning they
met the mail carrier on horseback coming
from Jackson. Some olhis companions we're
very drunk, aud they proposed to stop the
carrier and overhaul his bag. The roads were
very muddy at the time, and the coach could
not run. Wv client assured me that he not on.
w had No hand in rnbhlng the mail, but that
he tried 10 dissuade his cumplnions. But they
would not listen to him. One &c them slip
ped up behind the carrier aud knocked him
from the horse. Then they bound and blind
fnlaled him, aud having tied him to a tree
they took the mail bag. and made of 10 a
neighboring field, where they oyerfauled Il.
iindiug some five hundred dollars IN money
in yarious letters. lie went with them,
but IN no way did he have any hand IN the
crime. Those whu did il led, anl as the
carrier recognized him IN The party, he had
been arrested.
The mail bag had been found IS well as
the letters. Those letters from which mn
ney had been t.kcn. were kept. by order ui
the officers, and duplicates sent to the yariou.
persons to whom they were directed. The
letters had been given TO me for examination,
and ! had returned them TO the prosecuting
attorney.
lgot through with my private preliminarie-
aboul mon, aud as The case would not come
up before next day. went into court to see
what was goingon. 1'helirst case which came
up was one Of theft. and he prisoner was q
young girl, no, more than seventeen years oI
age, Elizabeth wadwarih. She was very
pretty, aud bure that mid, innocent luok,
which We seldom find in eulprit. She wa.
pale and frightened. aud The moment my eve.
rested upon her. pit,ed her. She bad been
weeping prulusely. for her bosom was wet,
but a. she fuund 80 many eyes upon her. she
became too much frightened TO weep more.
The complaint against her set forth that
she had stolen one hundred dalIars frum Mrs.

seed is killed. much on the outer surface of
the heap will not be, and this is better secur-
ed at the time Of killing. to draw earth
over the seed, as it better keeps the heat
in. The effect Of this manure will be visible
after the first rain. and will be most powerful
when the corn most needs it.
ihe object is to wet well the interierof the
pile and keep its moisture there by the dirt,
and don't let ii be mere plantation order.
but see that it is done well. as it has as much
use as any other work. Sound seed l0oses
nearly all its value by sprouting, but is not
so bad as wnter.rotted seed. II the cotton
seed piles are covered BY dirt, and the rain
cases that dirt well, it keeps in the heat and
kills the seed better. have never succeeded
in Killing well the out. side seed.

years, and not ON an extensive scale, but so

will more than compensate for its price.

tatiOn purposes, on corn, use ab0ut 100
pounds to the acre, scattering it in the plow

ty OF mixing it with charcoal, ashes, plaster

Mexican guano is about one-third less in
value than the Peruvian; and Of Peruvian it
is more general to use 200 lbs. to the acre. |
think ten wagon loads Of cotton seed will
make nore corn on two acres than ten loads
on one acre, aud for the same reason prefer
200 pounds on two acres to all Of il on one
acre. Ii would extend this letter too far TO
repeat all that have heard of the valuable
effects Of guano aud the sulphates.

The Power Of M igneti IN


Eugene Guizot gives ~ An incident in Pari.an
life which he regards romantic, and which is
at least amusing.
The scene is laid in the pavilion attached TO
country house in the neighborhood of the great
city, the time few minutes past II p. NJ. Mons
Armand awaits with patience Madame X, with
whom he has arranged nm interview at that hour
quite Innocent. but quite secret.
Close To the appointed time Mons. Armand
hears footsteps. l. il the lady The door opens,
lie stands stupefed in the presence of her hus-
baud, Mons. y. has returned from Paris and
deemng it too late to awaken the seepers of the
house comes to share the room of his friend in
the pavilion.
The conversation between the lover and the
husband is amusing and as the hour approaches
the perplexi'v of the former increases. His agi-
tuition leads him In the most Inconsistent remarks
md the most inexpicable questions.
What is the matter with YOU'D" asks the has
hand
Nothing nj ALL"
Il discompose you: how strangely you look.
Have interrupted something serousl"
The lover stands his hands PRESSED upon q lit
tie table weak and nervous with agitation.
"Ah " eXclams the hu sband; Il see you were
about to try an experiment in table turning,'
The suggestion saved the lover. Gradually re-
covering. he admits the fact. Tho whole public
was then in rage of table turning, and the most
marvellous effects were attributed to the my steri-
our process.
Yes" exeaims Mons Armand Il admit it.
You smile at me. You doubt Shall explain to
you, by an exhibition of true science. one of those
miracles Of magnetism of which speak, Win
you deny the evidence of tacts!'
Il ask only actual proof
You shall have it. My will can traverse space
and overcome distance Name some one at the
