Writ and Webster in a Trial CT
Wit.

Daniel Webster was once engaged in
the trial of case in one of the Virginia
courts, and the opposing council was
William Writ, author of the Life of Pat
rick Henry" which had been criticised as
a brilliant romance. In the progress of
the case, Mr. Webster produced a highly
respectable witness, whose testimony
unless disposed or impeached) settled the
case and annikilated Mr.. Wirt's client.
After getting through the testimony, he
informed Mr. Writ with significant ex-
preston, that he was through with the
witness, and that he was at his service.
Mr.. Writ rose to commence the cross
examination, but seemed for moment
quite perplexed how TO proceed, but quick
ly assumed manner expressive of his in
credulity as to the facts ELECTED, and cody
cycling the witness a moment, he said:
"Mr. K, allow me to ask youif you
have ever read work called the Baron
Munchausen ="
Before the witness had time to reply,
Mr.. Webster rose quickly to his feet, and
said:
Il beg your pardon, Mr.. Writ, for the
interruption; but there was one question
forgot to ask the witness, and if you
will allow me that favor / promise not to
int Tupt you again"
br. Writ, in the blandest manner
said:
Eyes, most certainly" when Mr.. Web
ster, in the most deliberate manner said
"Sir, hive you ever read Wirt's Pat
rick HearY."
The effect was irresistible, and even
the jude could not control his rigid fea-
lures. fIr. Writ himself Joined in the
momentary laugh, and, turned to Mr..
Webster, said:
"Supposing we submit this case to the
jury without summing up" which was
assented to, and Mr. Webster's client
won the suit.-Beneh and Bar, By L. j.

TEA CULTURE.-Gen. Capron, Com
missioner of Agriculture, reports that tea
culture is fast becoming recognized in
dustry in the Western and Southern
,tates, and that in few years enough
tea will be grown on native soil to meet
home consumption. He states that the
transplanting of tea in this section has
been great success, and that the pros
poets for its rapidly becoming an import
ant feature are encouraging. Some 49,
600 plants have been distributed South

Some of our readers may not know and
may be pleased to learn that William
Penn Travelled as missionary of Qua
kerism in Germany in the years 1851 and
1897. One of his converts was Mr. rai-
torius, graduate of Strasburg and Jena,
who, in 1888, came to Pennsylvania as
agent of the Frankfort Land Company,
and founded Germantown, where he died
in 1119. OF the thirteen German f,mi-
lies who formed the first settlement of
Germantown, twelve belonged to the
Society of Friends. On the 18th of April,
1858, the German Quakers of German
town issued the first protest ever pub
lished by Society against the slave trade
In this protest the English Quakers of
Philadelphia refused to join, for pruden-
tial reasons, and not because they APP
proved OF the traffic Pastorius, the
founder of Germantown, was the first
German schoolmasterin the United States,
one of his pupils early becoming the first
in Philadelphia. Pastorius was also the
author of the first German book written
in America. 1t treated of Saints, Popes,
Bishops and Councils. and bears date
Germanopolis (Germantown) 1890. This,
the first German Book published in the
Western hemisphere, was not allowed to
be c rculated in Germany. Pastorius was
a poet also, who wrote in three languages
German, English and Latin. These

We have no idea, says the Rockingham

connected with the TINKER Church. In
the Valley of Virginia they are among
the most numerous of the religious de-

They have no paupers. Whenever a
member becomes helpless and infrm,
and unable to take care of himself, the
church maintains him. Thus Thinker

frightfully-repulsive scene meets the eye. Be
fore you extend two rows of tables, each
freighted with a ghastly burden, over which a
score of enthusiastic Sawbones hover with
fendish enthusiasm, making you believe that
"They are neither brute nor human
They are ghouls."
Upon some of the tables you descry bodies,
some shapely in form, as yet untouched by the
scalpel, and partially covered with coffee-bags
or oil-cioths. Upon others, you see the subject
disemoowelled, with an arm or leg missing, and
with its flesh laid open, where the student has
been tracing the arterial system, and covered
with masses of CORY muscles. Upon another a
hideous, eyeless head, or torso in process of
reduction to a shapeless, distorted, disgusting
mass of human flesh. And over all these tables,
picking with tweezers and knife, are the
students, some with sleeves rolled up, and thus
untrammelled in their bloody labors some with
bandages about the mouth to prevent the faint
ing odors from injecting their lungs. Here,
from early dusk until late at night, they slash
and cut, and saw with the utmost energy and
sang froid. Here 1t is you behold young Saw

thus suspicion is warded off. Ia many instances
they are delivered in bags.
