TWain's Last.

Mark writes to the Tribune
from Elmira, N. Y, as follows:
The Wilson trial came to an end
yesterday. In some respects this
was the most remarkable case
that has ever had place upon
the criminal records of The coun-
try. 1t excited great interest in
this part Of the State, and during
the last ten days the Court room
has been pretty generally crowded
with eager listeners. The facts Of
the Wilson case were simply these !:
On .the 18th of February last,
George L. RodericI1 provoked a
quarrel with DIR. R. Wilson, in
front Of the Union Hotel in this
place. Wilson put up with a good
deal OF abuse before he even
showed temper. He, tried to pac-
lty Roderick, but to no purpose.
Roderick called him thief, liar
and a s@indler; Wilson bore it all
calmly. Roderick grew more ex-
cited, and heaped one opprobrious
epithet after another upon Viii
son, and finally called him mem
Der of the New York Legislature.
At this Wilson sprang to his feet,
and remarking to Roderick that
he would not take that from any
man, shot him dead with an AK
handle. Such was the evidence
ELECTED upon trial. The Court
acquitted Wilson upon the ground
that the proyocation was suffi-
cient.

Stewards Journey in the
Rocky Mountains.

A private letter from member
of Gov. Stewards excursion party,
dated at Idaho, in the mountains
contains the following:
All our party are in perfect ec-
stacies with everybody and every
thing. Up in this rough country
we metnone but gentlemen, though
sometimes in a rough outer coat
ing. Here is one: At the hotel
a rough honest fellew, who appar-
emily scorned to be introduced,
waited until the crowd was over,
when he presented himself to Mr.,
Seward, thus:
"Is this w. Fl. Seward ?" q
"Yes; what do you want y hs.
81 come to introduce myself
and see you. l have read about
w. II. Seward. You are not as
good looking as | thought you was.
Mr.. Seward, l have been admitted
into the Union thaee times, CON-
mencing with Iowa, and now /
want to come in again with Wyo-
ming. Good evening, Mr. Seward
although l am a better looking
man than you are, | am very glad
to see you"
Yesterday, coming down, the la
dies wanted drink of water.
The coach stopped, and / went to
deep well and drew up a bucket
of the coolest and clearest beve-
rage imaginable.
Stranger, you mustn't drink
that water" !
Mustn't drinkit. Why?"
"Cause that's alkali."
Uron this | thought | would
taste it to see what alkali water
was. ~
"Well, stranger, you may drink
and be darned, but tell you it will
80 through you like the Ten Com
mandmentS through a Sunday
school,"
We didn't drink at that we'll.
The scenery is sublime and
the air very invigorating. This

Swearing Cinnamon.

The trial of All Choy and All

Court for the murder Of Ah Sou,
says the Silver City idaho Terri
tory) Tidal Wave, is creating a
greater interest than any trial
that has ever occurred here, on ac-
count OF the novelty of the method
OF swearing witnesses. A roos-
ter's head is hacked off with a
knife, saucer broken, the oath
written on yellow paper, burned,
and the smoke, in which is sup
posed to be the spirit of the burn

defence each swore five witnesses.

cut, nicely bled, ETC., the Ameri-

the worse for having been sworn

to devour a portion of what was

six gallons of linseed oil rubbed

A Singular Fact.

The peach was originally a
poisoned almond, Its fesby parts
were used TO poison arrows, and
the fruit was for this purpose In
troduced into Persia. The trans
portation and cultivation, however,
not only removed its poisonous
qualities, but produced the deli
cious fruit we now enjoy,
We take the above from the
Warerly Magazine of the 30th of
January, 1859 We had often
heard it said that the planting of
a peach stone on this island would
produce the almond, such as may
be seen in the custom-house
grounds, on this island, and in sew
erai of the yards occupied by cit
iZens.
We are willing to be qualified
on oath some 18 months ago we
planted two peach stones as an ex-
pertinent for raising the peach on
this island /; we now have in lieu
of the peach, the coarse maidstone
almond, similar to those above
We are not aware of
any poisonous qualities in this al
mond, although we have heard Of
children having died from the eff
fects of eating them, which might
have occurred from eating almost
any other green fruit in excess
We have eaten the fruit ourselves
without ever having been poisoned.
Can any of our friends throw
lightupon the subject key West

What the Features Indi-
cate

We are told that the extremes
of both largeness and smallness of
stature are not favorable to the
strength of intellect. Giants and
dwarfs are generally deficient in
this respect, and excessive corpu-
lency or meagreness is seldom as
sociated with mental activity
Aristotle and Bonaparte, however,
were very short, Charles James
Fox was exceedingly fat, Daniel
Webster both broad and tall and
Lord Nelson living skeleton.
A large head is generally the
accompaniment of a great intel
lect; but small one with COM
paratiyely extensive forehead is
quite consistent with mental ca
pacity. Raphael, Charles XII,
Frederic the Great, and Lord
Brougham were illustrations of
the latter Iact.
1t is said that any nose which
is less than the height of the fore
head is an indication of the de-
fective intellectual power.
The eyes indicate character
rather by color tran form. The
dark blue are found most.common-
ly in persons of gentle and re-
fined character. Light blue and
gray in the rude and energetic
Lavatar says: '.Hazel eyes are the
more usual Indications Of a mind
masculine, vigorous and profound;
just as genius, SO called, is almost
always associated with eyes Of a
yellowish cast bordering on hazel"
The higher the brows rise the
more their pOssessor is supposed to
be under the influence of feeling,
and the lower the better controlled
by his reason.
a very small eyebrow is an in-
dication of want of force of charac-
ter.
A tolerably large mouth is es-
sential to vigor and energy, and a
very small mouth is Indicative OF
weakness and Incidence.
In a manly face, the upper lip
should extend beyond and domi-
nate the lower Fleshy lips are
oitener found associated with vo-
luptuous, and meagre ones with a
passionate nature.
The retreating chin indicates
weakness, the perpendicular
strength, and the sharp, acuteness
Of mind.
