A False Witness Expossd-A Dramatic
Scene in COurG.

1t is of Warren, the author of Ten Thou-
sand q Year, that this sharp practice in the
examination of man, accused of swearing
falsely in will case, is related 1t shows
great dramatic power unconsciously exhibi-
ted in his daily business:
The prisoner being arraigned, and the
formalities gone through with, the prosecu-
tor placing his thumb over the SEAL held up
the will and demanded of the prisoner if he
had seen the testator sign that instrument,
to which he promptly answered that he had.
"And did you sign it at his request, as
subscribing witness p
Il did,
"Was it sealed with red or J,,cz wax?
"With red wax"
did you see him seal it with red wax -
Fl did"
"Where was the testator when he signed
and sealed this will p
s'In his bed"
pray, how long a piece Of wax did he
use ?"
"About three or four inches long"
"Who gave the testator this piece of
waxw
II did"
Where did you get it?''
''From the drawer of his desk"
GLOW did he light that piece of wax ?''
''With a candle"
''Where did that piece of candle come
from ?"
Il got it out Of cupboard in his room -
''How long was that piece of candlc?'
''Perhaps four or five inches long"
"Who lit that piece of candlc?"
II lit it.''
"With what p
s'With match
'sWhere did you get that match 2"
"On the mantle-shelf in that room" aa
Here Warren paused, and, fixing his large.
deep blue eyes upon the prisoner, he held
the will up above his head, his thumb still
resting upon the seal, and said, in solemn,
measured tone:
''Now, sir, upon your solemn oath you
saw the testator sign that will; he signed it
in his bed: at his request you signed it as
subscribing witness; you saw him seal it;
it was with red wax he scaled it; piece Of
one, two, three or four inches long; he lit

EFFICACY AND SIGNIFIcANCE OF SILENCE.
One thing is noticeable in Garibaldi. He
makes no speeches, indulgcs in no acclama-
tons, and has kept clear of all flowers of
rhetoric! How different from Mazzini and
kossuth, and the generality of agitators-
men whose patriotism evaporates in words.
The mouth is the great safety y-valve for
selition and rebellion. Ireland would have
been revolutionized long since, but for the
fatal gift Of cloquence in her sons. The
pcnt up steam of disaffcction. instead of be-
ing suffered to accumulate in volume sufi-
cient to rcnd and upheave the political fab
ric, was suffered to blow off in noisy vapor-
ings. So it has been in Italy, SO in Ger
many, SO through all Europe. Lamartine
and the orators were the escape-pipes thro'
which the French Revolution of 1913, rea-
dy to deluge, with Vesuvias eruptions, all
Europe, found a harmless vent.
We do not underrate the danger of the
disunien Of these States. But while the
yawning NAV Of Yancey is open, and the
rhetoric of Rhett blows off, there will be no
need to fear. 1t was dumb Cromwell, and
the silent William, that created the two re-
volutions in England The talking Bona
parte. Lucien, was nobody; Washington
was no speech maker; and now comes Cara
baldi, who never made speech, to complete
the list Of effective reyolutionists

Small Bed Chambers.

There is reason to believe that more cases
Of dangerous and fatal disease are gradually
engendcrcd annually by the habit of sleep
ing in small unventilated rooms, than have
occurred from cholera atmosphere during
any year since it made its appearance in
this country, Very many persons sleep in
eight by ten rooms, which multiplied to-
gether, and this multiplied again by ten, for
the height Of the chamber, would make just
eight hundred cubic feet while the cubic
space for each bed, according to the Eng
lish apportionment for hospitals, is twenty
one hundred feet. But more, in order to
''give the air of room the highest degree
Of fresheess the French hospitals contract
for complete renewal of the air of room
every hour, while the English assert that
double the amount, or over four thousand
feet an hour, is required Four thousand
.eaet so9 ais every hour apd vet there are
Ff1uIt Itituaes q tIle city 81 New York who
sleep with closed doors and windows, ID
rooms which do not contain a thousand Gu
bic feet of space, and that thousand feet is
to last all night--at least eight hours-ex-
cept such scanty supplies as may be obtain
ed OF any fresh air that may inslnuate itself
through little crevices by door or window,
not an eighth of an inch in thickness. But
when it is known that in many cases, a man
and wife and infant sleep habitually in thou
sand feet rooms, it is no marvel that multi
tudes perish prematurely in cities no Won
der that infAnt children wilt away Ike flow
ers without water, and that five thousand of
them are to die in the city of New York
alone, during the hundred days which shall
include the 18th of July, 1861. Another
fact is suggestive; that among the fifty
thousand persons who sleep nightly in the
lodging houses Of London, expressly arrang-
ed on the Improved principles Of space and
vantilation already referred to, it has been
proven that not one single case of fever has
been engendered in two years Let every

AND TIE OLD MARE.
Smith had a great time over old Nance.
1t turned out that each Of the other two
committeeman had friends whose mares were
to be judged and they soon picked out their
favorites. So he kept still and let them
talk, and they soon got into quarrel, and
then they appealed to Smith, and he kinder
sided with one but thought old Nance was
the best mare, and finally to keep the other
from getting first, they sided with him, and
he went in for both of theirs. Smith says
he saw some queer things On that committee.

Falling from Grace,

A good story is told of certain Metho-
dist dominic Of the pioneer stamp. The
dominic had in some way incurred the dis
pleasure of one Of his members-one of those
touchy irasciblc saints of which nearly each
particular "charge" or "circuit" has one or
more representative The dominic had
tried in every way to effect reconciliation.
He had 'wrestlcd with the lord in the
erring brothers behalf He had labored
personally with him, earnestly, but all to
no purpose SO he expelled him, as mat
ter of duty. The ex-brother then took
every occasion to insult and wound the feel
ings of the Pastor. He slandered him,
abused him to his face, and behind his back,
until, at length, the poor dominic could
stand it no longer Meeting him one day
in the post-office, where a large crowd was
collected as usual, the wretch commenced
his abuse The dominic, as he was leaving
the room, made some remark, to which the
discovered member responded, ''That's
ID lie" Quick as thought the domi-
ME turned, divestcd himself of all unncces-
sary apparel, and stepping up to his aston
ishcd enemy, and seizing him by the throat.
