The Precise Words.

Those who are in the habit of attending
police and other courts must have observed
the difficulty under which lawyers and
| judges labor, sometimes In getting witness
ses to testify in legal form. The following
which took place in Cincinnati court, is
an amusing and perfect example. A man
had been caught in the act of theft, and
pleaded IL extenuation that he was drunk:
Court Ito thepohceman who was witnessl
l-''What did the man say when you arrest
ed him?"
Witness -''He said he was drunk
| Court want his precise words, Just
as he uttered them; he didn't use the pro-
noun he did he? He didn't say he was
| drunk
Witness -s'Oh, yes, he did-he said he
was drunk; he acknowledged the corn"
Court getting impatient at the witness
stupidity -'.You don't understand me at
all; want the words Just as he uttered
them; didn't he say, Il was drunk?'"
Witness (deprecatingiy( -"Oh, no, your
honor He didn't say gou was drunk;
wouldn't allow any man to charge thai upon
you in my presence"
Prosecutor F'Pshaw! you don't compre-
bend at all. His honor means, did not ;he
prisoner say to you, L was drunk
Witness (refectively) -''Well, he might
have said yoat was drunk, but didn't hear
him."
Attorney for prisoner (blandly)- Wha
the court desires is TO have you state pris-
oner's exact words, preserving the precise
form of pronoun that he MAIDS use of in re-
ply Was it the first person l, the second
person thou, or the third person he, she.
or it? Now, then, sir, with severity, npon
your oath, didn't any client say Il was
drank"
Witness getting mad)-'No, he didn't
say you was drunk either, but if he had, [
reckon he wouldn't lied any. Do you
s'pose the poor fellow charged this whole
court with being drunk?'"

The Future of the Lake Trade.
From Lippincott's Magazine.

FrOm lIppIuCOlGS HdSazlne.
The time is not far distant when vessels
laden with minerals from the Lake Superior
mines, and grain from Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Dakota, and all the North
western States, even California, will pass
through Lake Superior from Superior City.
Duluth and other ports, direct to Liver
pool, England. And the sight of this is
not going to be reserved for the next gen.
Grafton. We are going to see it; and right
soon. A network of railroads will soon
spread over this vast territory, from
Lake Superior to the Pacific coast,
and towns and cities rise along
every line. The ST.. Paul and Pacific
Railroad is now penetrating towards Lake
Winnepeg, into the Selkirk settlement
where the fires of revolution have been re-
Gently kindled. The Lake Superior and
Mississippi Railroad will soon unite the
Mississippi River and Lake Superior. The
Northern Pacific Railroad Co. are at pres
ent vigorously pushing their roa from Du-
luth to the Red River, at the western boun-
dairy of Minnesota. This road, as soon as
possible, will crosg the Red River, and pass
on to Pugets Sound and also to Portland,
Oregon. Few people who have not been
up here have more than faint concep-
ton of the fertility OF this belt of the
great Northwest. 1t is a magnificent coun-
try. Its climate is delightful; it's agricul-
tural resources are superb, it is large and
wealthy enough to become in ITSELF if sep
arated by an ocean from the lest of the
world one of the greatest of nations, with
a government of the highest rank. But it
is not isolated in its greatness. 1t is a vi
tai member of the Union, and is about to
prove itself to be the one possessing the
most vigorous quality. 1t is not one Of the
eXtremities of the domain of the Union,
but is, in fact, the great vital center, having
for one arm the southern States down to
the Gulf, and for the other, British Amer
lea up to the North Pole

Queer Domestic Arrangement.

| Washington Cor Cincinnati Commercial
| Some years since a gentleman In this
city married widow lady, who had one
child, girl Of dozen years. At the time
of the marriage the husbands newly &C,
quired stepdaughter was sent out of town
to boarding school, the couple not desir.
ing any embarrassment upon entering
upon the new state of marital happiness.
After being away for five or six years, the
girl returned to town, and to her parents
house, having now grown to an accomplish
ed and beautiful young lady. Presently it
was evident that her stepfather had fallen
desperately in love with her. Her mother,
or his wife, very soon saw the situation,
and, after brief struggle with herself,
prepared to accept its unfortunate conse-
quences. Terrible to relate, having pro-
cured a divorce for herself, she permitted
her husband to marry her daughter to
whom she also gave over a young child
which she had borne during her second
wedlock. She continued to live in the
house as the friend to all the parties; but
it soon happened to be the ex-wife's turn
to be courted by another aspirant for her
hand, to whom she was, after time, mar
RED Both of the parties and all parties
continue to dwell together in one house
hold, all the details of the affair from be-
ginning to end having been arranged salts
factorily and without the least misunder-
standing. Is not this fearful incident as
well as q queer one

4 French Thief.

The other day, says French paper, 2
lady went into a haberdasher's shop, Rue
Richeieu, and bought a pearl-grey silk
dress. The shopman had noticed to- er-
ably well dressed man standing at the door
after the arrival of the lady and seeming to
watch all her movements. Stepping UP to
the cashiers desk the lady drew 200 franc
note from her purse. At that moment the
man outside rushed into the shop, gave the
lady a box on the ear, and tore the note
out of her hands, 81 had forbidden you to
buy that dress, cried, he, "but watched
you, and you shall not have it," With these
words he FASTENED away, the lady tainted,
and the persons employed in the shop, sup
posing the intruder to be an offended hus-
band, made no remark and let him CO.
When the lady recovered the proprietor of
the establishment expressed his regret at
this violent scene, and pitied her for being
dependent on so brutal husband. "My
husbandp' cried the lady eagerly. ''Sir.
that man is not my husband; [ do not know
him, aud have never seen him" The pre-
tended husband was daring thief.
