GENERAL CAss. The editor of the
Lacrosse (tVisconsin) Democrat, who is
ROW in Detroit, writes as follows:
'Gen'l Cass is still alive, though his
family have gathered here in daily ex.
pectation Of his decease. He passes
most oi his time in sleep, undisturbed.
ut rare intervals he awakens up suffi.
GENTLY to ask Tor some of his old friends
who are sent for, but on arriving, even
withiR the hour he is generally
asleep agaiai. His disease is soitening
osaie brain, from years of mental labor
in the service Of his country. He has
all the care, attention and nursing it is
possible to give. His family look upon
him with the greatest reverence and
affection, and pray that his last day on
earth may be far distant. ttimes he
is able to converse quite freely and ra.
tionally with his family. bat this is the
exception, not the rule.

figures which move. The lower figures
are Death with his scythe, which is
placed in the centre of four figures repre-.
scnting the four ages of life, and striking
the quarters of the hours: Childhood
strikes the first quarter, Youth the sec.
ond, Manhood the third and Old Age
the last. The first stroke of each quar-
ter hour is struck by one of the two
genii seated above the perpetual calendar
and beside the clock face before spoken
of; the four ages strike the second.
Death strikes the hours, and as he strikes
the other of the two genii turns over the
hour glass that he holds in his hand.
Above these figures are another set of
figures, viz. our Saviour and his twelve
Apostles. At the hour of noon, the
twelve Apostles pass bowling before
Him. He lifts up his hand 10 bless
them, and as lie gives the beuedotion
the cock flaps his wings aud crows as
before stated.
We waited Until the hohr Of twelve
had passed and also remained there for

was constructedby a Mr.. Schwilgue, a
distinguished mechanician of Strasburgh

oath June 1888, and finished it at the
end Of 1912, since which time it has run
with remarkable pmctdality--a peri.

L Novel Legal Proposition.

The law passed by the last Lecisla.
ture, providing that in all criminal cases
the defendant may have the benefit N
his own testimony, but cannot be forced
by the prosecution to testify against his
wishes, went into operation by the terms
OF the act on the first of June. 1866 The
nrst case in which this law was made to
ngure was that of James Buckley. who
was charged in the Police Court with
mlsdemeanOr by carrying a concealed
weapon. The testimony was to some
extent indefinite as to the fact of his
having the pistol in his possession as
charged. One witness sw0re to seeing
the handle of something which he
thought was a pistol, but was not posi-
i've; another heard him talk about civ
ing ms opponent one pistol and taking
another himself, standing off at thirty
PAGES, and fighting it out, and saw him
have his hand behind him as if having
hold of weapon, but did not see anS
weapon. A discussion arose as to whether
pistol could be carried in the rear
pocket of defendants pants. and EXPERTS
beng called, decided that Deringer a
four-shooter or small sized fye-shooter
might be carried there without being
noticed by outsiders. Judge Rix now
stated that as the proof stood he couId
not hold the prisoner guilty. or at least
that if Mr.. Buckley would swear that he
had no pistol on his person, he should
decide that the charge was unfounded
de had, however, notified the defendant
that he had the opportunity to testify
In his own behalf, and as he had de-
cined to Go so, it was at least a tacit
of his guilt. He could not be
compelled to testify if he did not desire
to do so, but having failed to avail him
self OF the opportunity, that fact must be
taken into consideration in deciding the
case, and he must hold the defendant for

yet been raised in Court, but he deemed

'efusal by the defendant to testify would /
hereafter be considered as to some az
