EMILY PITTs STEVENS FINnD-The following we
clip from the report in the Alta of April 9Th, of
the Mrs. Fair trial-Mrs. Fair on the witness
stand
Mr.. Cook-Wha was your habit as to carry
ing pistol
Wtness-I always carried Mr.. Crittenden' 8
pistol for about two years he told me always to
carry pistol when alone he had two derrin-
gers and gave me one of them.
Mr.. Cook-IIad you any idea of injuring Mr..
Crittenden that night2
Witness-Not the slightest I had no reason ;
loved him he loved me- and had he been alive
the other day, when Mr.. Campbell insulted me,
he would have made him, on his bended knees,
apologize.
The last sentence was delivered in an emphatic
manner, and was followed by boisterous ap-
pause by the audience. The Court directed the
Deputy Sheriff to arrest all those who applauded,
but that officer, after looking around, declared
he could not find any.
The Court--Brlng them all up and swear
them.
One individual was brought up and sworn,
and declared that he had not applauded, and
didn't see any one applaud.
Next the female reporter, mentioned above,
was pointed out to the officer as one of the con-
temptuous ones, and was ordered up before His
Honor, when she declared that she had not ap-
plauded " with her feet" but was not aware
it was out of order to applaud in Court.
The Court-Did you make noise?
The Culprit--I said "Good Good lu and
slapped the table with my hands.
The Court-What's your name?
The Culprit-Emily Pitts Stevens.
The Court-Emily, you are fined twenty-five
dollars.
Mrs. Fair-Tll pay the fine.
Culprit-Thank you
Another lady now arose and stated that she
had also appauded, and that she was also Tn
aware that it was out of order to applaud in
Court.
The Court-What's your name2
Second Culprit-Gould, Your Honor.
The Court--You are fined twenty-five dollars
Mrs Fair also assumed this fine and said to
His Honor that it was all her fault-that the au-
dience did not understand the rules of Court.
The Judge intmated that at least two of them
would understand them hereafter and the ex-
animation was proceeded with. IThe fines
were remtted-ED.l

He Could Nor TELL LIE.-Alfred Burnett
in one of his letters to The People" of Indian
apolis, relates the following anecdote:
By the by, good story is told of Ben Butler
and his notorious honesty A short time since,
Ben Butler and Wendell Phillips had business
with the President, and, arm-in-arm, proceeded
to call upon him. The President was busy, and
sent word that he would see them presently.
Phillips and Butler stroled into the conserva-
tory, in the rear of the White House, thence into
the garden. Butler and Philips were engaged
in an animated conversation upon some topic.
Butler became slightly excited
A large hatchet, belonging to the gardener,
was beside tree Butler casually picked it up,
and while talking, he made several deep gashes
with it into one of General Grants favorite trees
Just at the junctnre, the President appearing,
Butler hastily Secreted it under his coat tails.
After the compliments of the day, the Presi-
dent spied for the first time his mutilated tree,
and, with tones of vehemence, inquired who had
been cutting and gashing the tree. After few
moments pause, Butler stepped bravely up to
the President, and shook him by the hand, say.

THE ORIGIN OF HAND-SHAKISa.-The Romans
had goddess whose name was Fides, or Fidelity
"a goddess of " faith and honesty" to whom
Numa was the first to pay divine honors. Her
only dress was white veil, expressive of can
dor, frankness and modesty and her symbol
was two right hands joined, or sometimes two
female figures holding each other by the right
hands whence in all agreements among the
Greeks and Romans il was usual for the parties
to take each other by the right hand, as token
of their intention to adhere to the compact and
this custom is in more genearl use even among
ourselves, at the present day, than would at
first be realized.

OF the five thousand brook trout eggs received
by the Acclimatization Society of San Francisco,
from the ponds at Caledonia, New York, and
placed in the Matching trough at Hayes Valley
on the 3Oth of January, there have been over
three thousand fish produced. They are all
ffourishing finely. The eggs began to hatch on
the 18th of February, and in four or FIVE days all
of the little fish were out. 1t is thought about
one thousand eggs were injured by transporta-
ton and did not hatch.

EIGHT hundred letters reached Paris from the
provinces during the siege in zinc ball twelve
inches in diameter, foated down the Seine, hav-
ing little wheels like those of a mill-wheel. The
weight was calculated so that this ball thrown
into the Seine moved at certain depth below
the surface. The curren. striking the wings
made it progress rapidly. The postal admins
tration in Paris was informed of the plan, and
had the balls fshed up at a water-gate contrived
for the purpose.

THE BEST WAY To RIDE-A Jersey girl and
her lover were out horseback riding recently,
when race was proposed, which ended in a
victory for the frmly-seated young man. But
the girl would not give it up SO, and demanded
a renewal Of the trial, with change of saddles.
The change was made, and soon they were off
again-the lad sdewise and the girl otherwise
the heat resulting in a complete triumph for the
lady.
