@be Ginres, Mem BLOOMFIELD, 1)a.

whose professional integrity was now in the
balance, 81 can solemnly swear that sheet
of paper was not made until at least two
years after the date of the instrument
which has been written upon its face.
The paper was given to the jury, who
we're all upon their feet. Arnold's counsel
demanded to SEQ it, Mr.. Claudman and
his wife got up, and tried to leave the room,
but were prevented. Judge and bar were
in state of ferment, while the dense au-
dience swayed to and fro in eager, painful
suspense. Would this old mans testimony
have its legitimate weightP
All, how could it be otherwisep There
was witness more potent to an intelligent
court and jury than speech of tongue. The
contested will bore in its innermost heart
in it's "heart of hearts"-the emphatic
evidence of the base lie upon its written
face. OtLer witnesses were called-one
paper maker and two paper dealers-but
the thing was settled. The water-lined
date of the paper was evidence enough.
A little after the Judge gave his charge
about as brief charge as ever heard, A
little longer, and we knew that the orphans
were the true and the legally established
heirs to Jacob Ames's fortune. l will not
attempt to describe the scene that followed.
Suffice it for me to say, that the perjured
parties were severely punished, while the
sun of joy and gladness cast its gracious
beams upon the beloved and deserving sis
ters.

The Town of Sitka in Alaska.

The following not very cheerful pic
ture of the town of Sitka, is from the pen
of correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press:
The village contains forty or fifty houses.
The population consists of one thousand
Indians and two thousand dogs. OF the
dogs, all but one are of the same sharp
cared, wolfish type seen among the Indians
of the plains. The exception was handy
legged, lop-eared cur of civilized breed, the
only ono among the two thousand that
showed lack of civility by barking at our
heels. The houses much more resemble the
semi-subterranea abodes of tho Lapland-
ers and Esqumaux than the wigwams Of
American Indians. Like the oak described
by the American poet, they extended as far
into the earth as above it. Some of them
are twenty or thirty feet square, and built
of very wide cedar planks /; many of them
four feet across, worked out by these rude
people. ....
We entered several. Creeping through
dpcIJulcS, DOIu thu Aouhh,
than three feet in diameter, we descended
flights of steps into the large single room.
In the centre of each firo was built on the
ground, and in the centre of each roof a
hole, out of which passed small portion of
the smoke, the most of it remaining for the
benefit of a salmon hanging over ourheads,
and to make sore eyes for the inmates. The
whole inside is floored, except the fireplace
in the middle. On both sides are the sleep
ing-places, covered with skins and blankets,
and in some instances separated by low
partitions. In the rear and on shelves be-
low the dormitories were stored potatoes
and dried salmon in small bales, covered
with mating. Their largest potatoes are
the size of ahulled walnut.

ror. He knew that Wild had been in treaty
with St. John for the mare, and that he
was annoyed at not being able to obtain
her without paying nearly double her value;
and he knew also that Wild had subse-
quently made up his mind not to take the
animal at any price. Therefore, on hap
pening to get glimpse of the superscrip-
tion, while twisting the note in his fingers
on returning from the house of the unsus-
pecting victim, the whole truth burst upon
him at once, and sent him galloping off
again, without single explanatory sent
ence to his startled wife and daughter,
toward the dwelling of his intened son-in-
law

A Curiosity Of the Census.

II is now set down as singular fact,
fully confirmed by statistics, that the num-
Der of births varies greatly during the diff
ferent months of the year. Taking Connec-
ticut, Maine, Massachusetts,, Missouri, Ohio
and Vermont, for the years 1869 and 1870,
as samples, the result proves that June
furnishes but few births, s,-not one-sixth of
those which May brings forth. July has
about double the number that June can
boast, but still is far below the general av-
erage. August is next lowest in produc-
tiveness. The other nine months of the
year maintain something like general av-
erage, with no more of variation than may
be attributed to physical causes. To show
the difference between May and June, we
will give the number of births for these two
months in the respective States named:
Connecticut, May, 1880, June, 203; Maine,
May 1902, June 1888; Massachusetts,, May
3,771, June 5O7; Missouri, May, 5,7S1, June
4OS; Ohio, May 1908 June ,050; Vermont,
May S44, June 1923. This variation is too
marked to be attributed to accident and
the physiological causes must furnish an in
teresting study to the vital statistican.

CB- "Does Isaac manifest any taste for
poetry, Mrs. Paitington?" asked the school
masters wife, conversing on the merits of
the youthful Partington. Tho old lady
was basting a chicken which friends had sent
her from the country ooh, yes!'' said the
old lady, smiling; che is particularly fond of
poultry, and it always seems as he can't
get enough of it," The old spit turned by
the fireplace in reply to her answer, while
she was going on. ~ mean" said the lady,
''does he show any of the divine afflatusa"
The old lady thought moment. Gas for
the divine flatness, don't know about it.
He's had all the complaints of children,
and when he was baby he fell and broke
the cartridge of his nose but hardly
think he's had this that you speak Of"

A Strange BedfeIlOW.

The Baltimore American says: There ap-
peared few days since at boarding house
in the southern section of the city, natty
looking young man and engaged board,
but was informed by the landlady that
owing to pressure upon her accommoda-
tions she would be obliged to room the new
conner with one of her best boarders until
such time as a spare room could be had. To
this the young man assented, but not with
out some reluctance, he stating that he
preferred a room to himself, but under the
circumstances he would room with the
"bcst boarder' for a few days.
The first night the new boarder retired
TO rest he did so in the dark, and insisted
on sleeping next to the wall, and it was
noticed by the "best boarder" that his
chum occupied but little of the bed, sleep
ing as it were upon the rail. In the morning
the new conner complained of feeling un-
well, and did not leave his bed until after
his bedfellow had vacated the room. For
three nights this same programme was fol-
lowed, and on the fourth morning a dis
covery was made by the chambermaid
which created considerable excitement in
the house, and which, when made known
to the "best boarder," paralyzed him with
astonishment. .....
On the morning in question the chamber
maid entered the room of the new boarder
just as he was about adjusting his clothing
and discovered that the "he' wasa "she."
She now begged not to be exposed, but the
chambermaid being unable to retain within
herself such rich joke, especially after
what had befallen the "best boarder," dis
closed the secret which she had discovered,
and upon the landlady going in quest of the
bogus young man it was found that she had
fled the house. Since then it has been dis
covered that several articles of jewelry and
clothing have been missing.

A Queer Case.

A Boston girl who had more than once
during the continuance of long engage
ment shocked her lover, pious burgher of
the Quaker City, by her declamations in
favor of free love, completely disgusted
him when the time of the marriage drew
near by refusing to submit to the perform
ance of the Ger emony, and offering herself
to his connubial embrace without the sane
ton Of the religious rite of legal authority.
In vain he demonstrated. She professed
herself ready to undergo all the pains and
pleasures of the marriage state, but to sub
init to the tying of the nuptial knot she
would not. And when he demanded her
reasons for her extraordinary dislike to the
idea of clerical or magisterial Intervention
she claimed that were she bound irrevoca-
bly, to him he would take no pains to please
her, but were she free to leave him ut any
time, her happiness would be his chief
thought to provide for; and then, too, she
wished to bestow her affections and en-
braces on another man, if at any time she
should cease to love him. AT this candid
avowal of her versatile proclivi ties he pro-
fessed to consider their engagement broken,
but this she would not allow, and has en-
tered complaint against him for breach of
promise of marriage. The case promises
interesting developments at its trial, as of
course, the defence will be as above, that
"Barkis is willing" but the lady not

A Divided Town.

The town Of Bristol, in Tennessee and
Virginia, with q population of three thou
sand, is an anomaly among towns. The
place is located in two states, and the state
line passes near the centre of the main
street, the rogues and lawless know where
it is to an inch. This line used to be
deeply venerated, and in former years it
would have been considered symptom of
decay of the Republic for Tennessee con-
stable to cross the street on to the sidewalk,
on the sacred soil of Virginia, and arrest a
criminal. But the line is not now regarded
with such tender veneration. When man
kills a another and steps over the line for
protection, the officer steps after him and
fetches him back killing is consequently
not so popular as formerly. Each sido of
the line has n separate mayor and board OF
aldermen, and regulates its own affairs in
the sense contemplated by the Constitution.
There are two papers published, one on
each side of the line. Each side also has
its schools and churches, but there is not
dangerous number of either Of these.
