18th Sept, between Senator D. C. BEoDERIcE
and Judge D. 5. rERSr, Which resulted in

from insulting language used by Senator

The Barrister ana the Witness.

At an assizes held during the past year,
both Judge and counsel had deal OF trouble
to make the timid witnesses upon q trial
speak sufficiently loud to be heard BY the
jury; and it was possible that the temper OF
the counsel may thereby have been turned
from the even tenor Of its way. After this
gentleman had gone through the various
stages Of bar pleading, and had coaxed,
threatened, and even .bullied witnesses, there
was called into the box young Gstler, who
appeared simplicity personfed.
"Now, sir" said the counsel, in q tone that
would at any other time have been denounced
as rulgarly loud, ~ hope we shall have no
difficulty in making you speak out"
I" hope not, zur, was shouted or rather
beloved out BY the witness, in tones which
almost shook the building, and would Ger.
tanly have alarmed any timid or nervous lady.
How dare you speak in that way, sir ?"
please, zur, | can't speak any louder
said The astonished witness, attempting to
speak louder than before, evidently thinking
the fault to be in his speaking too softly
PRAY have yoE been drinking this morD
ing?" shouted the counsel who had now
thoroughly lost the last remnant ofhis temper.
ayes, zur," was the reply.
And what have you been drinkiug?"
"Cofee, zur."
Sand what did you have in your coffee,
sir 2" shouted the exasperated counsel.
ri spun, =ur!" innocently bawled the wit
ness, in his highest key, amidst tue roars of
the whole court-excepting only the now
thoroughly wild counsel, who flung down his
brief aud rushed out q court.

Death of Hon. JOHN Y. Mason.

TIE telegraph brings she sad intelligence
of the death of Hon. J. T. Mason, the Alneri-
can Minister to the Government of France
This event took place at Paris on the Sd Of
October, and was caused by all attack oi
apoplexy.
The Charleston Courier Of Oct. l7th has
the following in reference to Mr.. Mason:
The Hon. John Y. Mason, late Minister at
the Court of St. Cloud, whose decease is an
nounced by telegraph, was native Of fir.
ginia, grandson, We believe, Of George Mason
and q cousin Of Senator James NJ. Mason.
He was graduated from. the University Of
North Carolina in 1916, and after some prac-
tice at the Bar received Judicial appoint.
ment, which he resigned to accept seat in
Congress as representative. In this post he
filled three terms, l53l-37. Under the ad-
ministration Of john Tyler, acting President,
he was for some time Secretary of the Navy,
succeeding Thomas w. GiEmer, who was killed
in the memorable disaster on the Princeton.
Resigring at the close of Mr. Tyer's term, he
was recalled to that post by President Polk
in 1916, being then Attorney General by
President Folks appointment.
In 1853, he was appoiated by President

Gentlemen Of the jury-can you for an in.

has always sustained high depreciation in

such scene. My feelings turn from such a
picter of moral turpentine cannot for an
instant harbor the idea that any man, much

ting an act of such unexampled discretion.
And now, gentlemen, after this brief view Of
the case, let Inc retreat of you to make up
your minds candidly and unpartialiy, and
give us such verdict as we ight reasonably
suspect from such an enlightcd and intoerant
body of fellow cilizcns-remembering that
in the words of him who fell in the battle Of
Bunker Hill, it is better that ten innocent
men escape, rather than one guilty should
suffer.

GREAT FIFE AT CoNsrAyTISopLE.-Con-
stan,inople journals of the l4th state that a
dreadful fire had destroyed upwards ef GOO
houses i'll the Turkish capital. 1t broke out

FOLLY OF PR1DE.-Take some quiet sober
moment of life, and add together the two ideas
Of pride and man. Behold him, creature of
a span, stalking through infinite space in all
the grandeur of littleness. Perched on q
speck of the universe, every wind of Heaven
rikes into bis blood the coldness of death ;
his soul floats from his body like melody from
the string; day and night, like dust on the
wheel, he is rolled along the heavens, through
Il labyrinth of worlds and all the creations of
God are flaming above and beneath. Is this
a creature to make for himself crown Of
glory, to deny his own flesh, to mock his fel.
low, sprung from that dust to which they both
will return? Does the proud man not err ?
Docsh not suffer? Doeshe not die? When
he reasons. is he not often stopped by diff.
culties2 When be acts, is he never tempted
by pleasure? When be lives, is he free from
pain? VIXEN he dies can he escape the com.

A Fashionable Wedding.

The New York Ecening Post, of Oct. 18th
has lengthy account of a fashionable mar,
riage, which took place in that city; and
which has been alluded to, for some time by
the press. We take several extracts from
the article in the Post:

ing to the announcement given in most Of the
papers, and to the invitations so profusely
scattered around, the nuptial ceremonies be-

and Miss Bartlett, the daughter of Lieuten-

At quite an early hour this morning, the
doors of the cathedral were beseged by anx-
ious visitors, chiefly ladies, and as soon as the
doors were opened numbers entered. Cards
of invitation to be presented at the door.
were issued for the benefit of the invited
guests, who were provided with cards. =
HalEpast eleven was the time appointed
for the ceremony, andas that hour approached
the crowd increased. Policemen were sta
toned at the gates of the Iron ratings that
surrounded the Cathedral, to prevent any one
from entering the enclosure unprovided with
tickets.
Although the holders of tickets were as
sured that seats would be reserved for them
till halfpast eleven, every seat was occupied
an hour before that time, and even the aisles
were also crowded to suffocation with stand:
ing committees. A few disconnected voluna
taries on the organ served to beguile the time.
The vast body of people rendered the air
warm and close, ana Notwithstanding that
the windows were wide open, the state os
the atmosphere was almost insufferable.
At about twelve o'clock the bridal party
appeared in the chancel the parents Of the;
bride with several ecclesiasticals, learling the:
procession, which included six bridesmaids.

It'll her goal was reached, grocery store,

where she always "done her tradin'." Into
this she turned, with smile on her face, and
bowed to the clerks with a killing er,ce; and
each one OF them would have lost his place,
ere he sighted the lovely maiden.
The gentle Miss Judy, whilst looking
around, and asking if this thing and that
thing was sound, and pricing lard, sugar, and
bacon, per pound. to know just how much
she'd be taking-the obligng clerk turned a
) moment his head to hear what another clerk
! had just said, when quickly the maiden with
. topknot of red, meath the folds Of her crino-
line dext'rou>ly sped an entire middllng of
: bacon (Ah! Judy O'Mulligan, little you
!; thought when paying the clerk for the things
you had bought, that the clever obliging
young fellow had caught you in the act Of
stealing bacon. But, rather ashamed to ac-
] cuse you Of thieving, lie waited to notice
]. your movement when leaving, to see how
your load could be taken.)
1 And telling the clerk where her goods
should be sent, she smiled a good evening,
] and homeward she wcnt-not dreaming the
clerk followed after. But the gentle Miss
judy had lost grace, for the weight Of the
bacon impeded her pace, and the young man
behind her grew red in the face, supprcssing
his inward laughter.
There is an old adage of " "murder will out,
without our assistance to bring it about; and
the saying holds good against stealing. For,
often, the care which is used TO conceal the
commission of crimes which you would not
reveal, is tue cause itself Of revealing Thus
it was with Miss Judy, who crossing street
raised Il e front of her dress to exhibit her
feet-a fashion not yet quite rgotton-when
"a mschierous newsboy the bacon espied, drop
/ ped lis arInlu of papers-"O cricky!' he
cried, boys, 'ere's new way to hang bacon"
= The guilty O'Mulligan uttered shrek;
the pallor Of fear banched her rosy check,
and she tainted Ger and o'er. But the clever
Young clerk, who had seen her fall, sent
Eboy round corner a cab to call, into which
sIe was lifted bacon and all, and the cabman
drove back to the store
There's but little left Of the story to tell
