THE TIcHBoRNE TRIAL.-The English papers
of the latest dates at hand devote a large amount
of space to the Tichborne trial. 1t will be re-
membered that the hearing OF this extra0r binary
case was resumed on the 18th ult. On that day
and long before the hour for the opening Of the
doors, the passages leading to the court room
were throDg with an anxious crowd OF persons
of all classes DESTROYS of being present The
original interest In the trial was apparently re-
vived. Early IN the afternoon Of the first day of
the resumption the Attorney General began his
address. When the court adjourned on the
afternoon OF the 10Th he had not concluded his
speech. He opened, - mentioned in the cable
dispatches, BY accusing claimant as can impos-
ter, perjurer, forser, and a villain," called
the testimony given In support Of his claim, a
tissue OF "fraad, lies, and crimes unexampled."
An occasional correspondent Of the London
Times promises Sensational witness in the case,
in the person Of n. Jules Berant, ssthe COM
panion and bear-leader" Of the veritable Roger
Tichborne in South America, in 1854, during the
time he kept copious diary. Heseems to have

THE WHITEHEAD CoEsPIRACY-Hs UHe--
Escted Ttr1nind'ion-The case of the alleged
Whitehead conspiracy, alluded to in yesterdays
STAR, came TO an end on Thursday in a most
sudden and unexpected manner. On the OPEN
ing OF the case on Thursday, James Baxter, the
principal witness for the state, was again placed
on the stand TOR crOss-eXamination. He is charged
as beng one of the conspirstors, and his testi-,
mony as to the numerous attempts planned
against the old man was most direct but no new
evidence was ELECTED. John VI. Gordon Rebecca
Ellsworth and a Mrs. Skinner testified to the
Character Of the prisoner, Jane Wllletts. The
next witness placed on the stand was ex-Sheriff
Obadiah Clark, who was foreman OF the grand
jury which had found the indictment. on the
commencement of his examination he INQUIRED
o. the court if it would be allowable for him TO
divulge the secrets of the grand jury room. This
led TO an argument OF some length. The prose
cutiOn claimed that when it was necessary TO
justice even the grand jury room mi sht be in
Vaded. All evidence necessary to a conviction
should be admitted. The court, previous to the
recess, decided such evidence inadmissible as il
would be against public policy. The counsel
for the prosecution consulted, and upon coming
together again announced their intention OF
throwing up the case. They believed the ruling
OF the court had shut out from them the proof a
fact which they believed necessary to sustain
the indictment They believed that the indict-
ment was found upon statements from proving
which the ruling excluded them; and the court
had denied the evidence ON which they had
denied. The case was Immediately given to the
jury and verdict OF mot guilty" was returned

ENGIISu MOTHERS 1t is marked lca-

cether at their o>n home Not only is
the mother the first lady TO whom YOU are
introduced al the house where you visit.
but mistress Of ceremonies throughout !;
not only does she preside at the dinner
table, but at the evening party she sits a.
queen Whatever may be your first i'm
pressious Of such an arrangemeut-il it
happens that your sympathies are with the
younger ladics-you will very ooa learn
to think that the mothers absence would
be very sincerely regretted by the
daughters. As picture, all must admit
the arrangement TO be perfect. The port.y
form and matronly dignity Of the mother
are an exquisite foil to the youthful beauty
and maiden coyness OF the daughters.
And you will fad nothing to mar. but
everything to enhance tue interest OF the
picture. The mothers presence never
seems to operate as an Uuwelcome restraint.
Between her and the daughters YOU will

wit, uniform parental authority, and the
most charming freedom of intercourse
between parents and their children.

\ TAME WAsp-At the recent meeting
Of the British association in Brighton, in
the section of zoology and botany, Sir John
Lubbock exhibited a tame wasp which had
been in his possession for about three
months, which he brought with him fro m
the Pyrenees. The wasp was of a social
kind, ana he took it in its nest formed of
twenty-seyen cells, in which there were
fifteen eggs, aud had the wasp been allowed
to remain there, BY this time there would
have been quite little colony of wasps.
None OF the eggs, however, came to matu-
rity, and the wasp had laid no eggs since
IT has been in his possession. The wasp
was now quite tame, though at first it was
rather too ready with its sting. 1t now
ate sugar from his hand and allowed him
10 stroke it. The wasp had every appear
ance Of health and happiness and although
It enjoyed an outing occasionally, it
readily returned TO lis bottle, which it
seemed to regard as a home This was the
first tame wasp kept by itself he ever
heard Of;

frequently threatened her. she says, be-
cause she would not marry him, and a day
or two since, according to her account he
made an attempt to kill her with a pistol,

The investigations of detective tend to
the conclusion that the lover is a myth. the

4 SEDUCTIVE RAT TRAr.-A man IN
Pennsylvania has invented a rat trap that
is made to operate upon the selfish pas
sionS Of the poor rat and lure him into
trouble. The Mechanic a1.d Farmer in
a description of the trap, says that a
mirror is set in the back part of the de-
vice beyond the bait, and as his ratship Is
out on foraging expedition he espies the
bait, and at the same time believes his
image in the mirror to be another rat
making for it on the opposite side. This
is too much for rat nature TO stand and be
cool over, 50 he rushes for the bait, and is
caught
