Lawyer and Witness.

A story is told of very eminent lawyer
in this city receiving a severe reprimand
from a witness on the stand whom he was
trying to brow-beat. 1t was an importan,
issue, and in order to save bis cause from
defeat. it was necessary that Mr.. A.
should impeach the witness. He endeav.
oIed TO do it on the ground of age. The
following dialogue ensued:-
Lawysr.-"How old are you?"
Witnsss.-"Seventy two years."
Lawyer.-"Your memory, of course, is
not so brilliant and vivid as it was twenty
years ago, is itg"
Witness.-"I do not know but it is"
Lawyer.-aSlae some circumstances
which occurred, say twelve years ago, and
we shall be able to see how well you can
remember"
Witness.-"I appeal TO your honor if 1
am to be interrogated in this manner; it is
insolentl"
Judge.-"You had better answer the
question"
Lawyer.-"Yes, sir; stale itw
Witness.-"Well, sir, ify you compel me
to do it, | will. About twelve years ago
you studied in Judge BIS Office, did

Lawyer.-"Yes."
Witness.-"Well, sir, I remember your
father coming into my office and saying
to me, sMr. D., my son is to be exam

fifteen dollars to buy him a suit of Clothes

The Man for the Hour.

The irrepressible correspondent of the
New York Tribune at Charlestown, ha:
been touching off some of the foolish greal
men who swell about that little place. The
commander-in-cbief of the citizen soldiers
is thus described:
| Col. Davis is one of the most remark.
able of the fire-eating species. He is the
incarnation of pompous dignity. His style
is so stiff that you would think that he had
swallowed halfthe ramrods of his regiment
before bidding it farewell. A musical New
York reader will understand his general
appearance when say that he resembles

struggling to attain the low d in "The

long queues of black hair, which are braid
ed, and brought forward, and tied in bow
knot over his forehead. The effect is start

| do not know, but probably The same as
that by which the marines carried of, the
other day from Harper's Ferry, pike
apiece-and kept it always with him. 1t
is true, he did not understand the weapon,
and had to get it loaded for him, but that
was nothing. He brought it with him TO
the hotel-table at which he breaklasted and
dined. All day he bore it upon his shoul-
der, and Iveriiy believe, all night he kept
by him. Some ill-natured persons would
have it that the Colonel was himself a lit
tie afraid, and undertook to substantate
their statement to that effect, by relating
how, On one night when be had received
warnings of an approaching riot, he be-
sought the landlord of the Carter House
to let him have the two Pennsylvanians,
who captured Cook, in the same room with
him until morning. But this, of course, is
calumny. No one could look upon the Co.
loners martial bearing, with his gun upon
his shoulder, and his bayonet by his side,
and entertain different thought.
About fortng ght ago, the Colonel laid
aside the rife. For a day or two he went
about very little noticed, so, in order to re-
engage public attention, he put his arm in
an immense red sling. People conceived
ideas of some terrible conflict with one of
the sick prisoners, or something quite as he
roic, and appealed to him, proffering sym
pathies. 1t appeared, however, that the
Colonel had nothing better to show them
than chapped hand, at which everybody
laughed, not in his immediate presence, of
,ourse-for that would have brought upon
them Incarceration for the honor of the
State ofVirginia-but in the safety of
their sleeves.

@ln Leghorn on the 7th ultimo, a
remarkable scence took place. For the
first time, the meo of that city offered up a
prayer for Christian Prince, and invoked
the blessing of Heaven upon Victor Eman-
uel, King of Sardinia. The prayer was re-
cited by Signor Roberto Funaro. At the
first word the 5000 Jews present, with
the exception of few old men, rose 10
their feet, and remained standing until the
close of the prayer, to which they all re-
sponded with an Overwhelming "Amen."
