In the examination of a witness in
the case of Mcfarland the following
court colloquy took place. What these
questions on the part of the prosecution
could imply We are at loss to Judge.
We forget the name of the witness. The
conversation between the lawyer and
witness was this:
Mr. Browne-Do you believe in a
Supreme being?
Yes.
Do you believe in system of rewards
and penalties /?
Not according to the Calvinistic doc
trine; believe in system of compen-
sations.
Do you believe there is any other con-
sequence Of the violation of an oath
than loss of selfrespect?
believe that man who would tell a
lie when under oath would be more or
less unhappy hereafter.
Tell me what consequence you attach
to the violation of an oath
Loss of respect, loss of honor and
spiritual degradation I believe in the
divine character of it, but that there are
errors in it.
In what part of it do you believe as
divine?
If you will give me week l will
write an essay on the subject, for your
especial benefit.
The Recorder here interferred.
In what part of divine authority do
you believe?
If the council will read to me the
Bible, chapter and verse l will tell him.
believe in the general scope and
general standing. Ibelieve God is wise,
just and good, and believe false swear
ing will be punished.
The insinuating questions of Browne
charged the witness with false swearing
but the latter was sharp enough for the
Knight of Blackstone.

Some years since when they were
buildin' the locks on Coal River, was
over thar at Peyton's an l stopped in
at DR.. Kellum's, who physicked people
in that quarter at that time. Thar was
famine just then, and great sufferin'
among men, women an children, for
want of the necessaries Of life.
Leastwise it was about the same thing.
Thar was plenty of meat, an abundance
of corn, an no scarcity of chicken; but
the rivers were dry, an whisky run en-
tirely short. Some prudent people laid
in sufficient stock, but the most had
not. How to bring up family 'thoat
red-eye was puzzler, an the sufferin'
was enormous.
DR.. Kellum was in trouble, too-he
sympathized with his neighbors, but he
had half barrel of ninety-five per cent
alcohol in his Office, and, as far as he
was concerned, he managed to fix up
with sugar, an water, an gum, an eth
er, and SIGH truck, until he made q
pretty fair drink. Seem was friend

Kellum he turned pale.
Says the man: "I'm much obliged to
you. That's sarchin ! an he turned
an walked out.
Kellum sot as if he'd been shot, an
then jumped up.
THAT won't do" said he. "That's
enough to pizen crowd. I'll call him
back, and give him an emetic."
We both went to the door, He wasn't

Kellum he run down to the road but it

The long-talked Of prize>fght between
Jem Mace and Tom Allen came off this
morning, in St. Charles parish, and was
witnessed by an immense number of spec
tators. The fight, which was for $4,000
and the championship of the world, was
won by Mace in ten rounds. Time, forty
four minutes.
Allen was terribly punished, while Mace
escaped with next to no punishment
Parties who Witnessed the fight say that
neither in physical condition nor the
science of hard hitting, was Allen any.
thing like match for Mace.
There are not few, however, who
claim that the fight was sold out by Allen.
An enormous amount of money has
changed hands, bat not SO much "a would
have been the case had Allen won, as the
betting had teen almost uniformly two to
one on Mace.

To be forewxrned is to be fore
warned. An exchange gives us this
eau ton, which we feel in duty
bound to give to our careless readers: It
asserts that full lamp will never explode,
because there is no chance for an accumu-
lation Of explosive gas. A lamp partly
filled will not explode unless it becomes
considerably heated. To prevent the lat.
ter, keep the lamp well cleaned. The air.
holes below the burner should always be
kept open, for when they are closed the
burner heats up, and if the lamp is near

lamp in this condition should never be
carried about, as it increases the danger of
explosion. The proper way to manage il

Photography is turned to great ac-
count by police agents in Paris for the
detection of thieves. The card of every
one charged with theft is copied and
distributed among the agents; who, if
they see suspicious looking character,
can easily ascertain his identity by look
ing in their portrait gallery of illustri-
GUS individuals. That, of course, is all
very we'll, but, unluckily, the thieves
have lately taken to collecting and dis
tributing among their body photographs
of all the police agents and thus one Of
the fraternity is enabled to know at
glance whether in crowd on the boule-
ward there is or is not detective. Thus
far it seems the system has been found
to favor the thieves m,re than the true
men.
