COLVAX,S DEFENSE.

in defense, with rebu,ting testimony.
The strongest, and really only
important link in the vircumstantial
evidence against Mr.. Coltax, was
the showing by his bank account
that on the 22d of June, lSGS,--two
DAYS after the date of the check for
$1,000, which Ames claims to have
given him--he deposited, in cur
rency, ust the amount represented
in the check. Mr. &. accounts for
this 81 200, as received from q. w.
Nesbil, Of New York, and his step
father, Mr.. Matthews. Ncsbit sent
him in letter, 81 900 bill, as Il
contribution to aid him IN detlaying
election expenses Mr.. G then be-
ING can didate for Vice President.
Ncsbit is now dead, and cannot be
resurrectcd to corroboratc this
statement; but Mr.. Matthews and
Mrs. Hollistcr, step.sister of Mr.
Colfax, both testify that they were
present ut the breakfast table when
the letter continuing the money was
received aud opened by Mr.. G. F.; aud
that the bill was shown to them.
Nj Cofax's mother, since deceased,
was also present at the time, and
his sister, Mrs. Cow'es, residing in
Iowa, states she received letter in
the summer Of 1868 from her moth
er, telling of the receipt of the
$1,000 bill. Besides, Mr.. Bur
roughs and Mr.. Hanghcy of In.
diana, and Hon. w. A. Howard, of
Michigan, affirm that in the summer
Of 1868, Mr.. Colfax informed them |.
of the contribution of $1,000 BY !
Mr.. Ncsbit. Mr.. Matthews swcars /
to having paid Mr.. Coliax $500 on
n debt, in the month Of June, 1868. |
This account of the $1,000 deposit
is certainly reasonable, and well
sustained; especially when taken in
connection with the fact that ON the
same day Mr.. Coliax purchased and
sent to the chairman Of the Indiana
Republican Committee II draft for
,o00--lhc amount contributed by
NeSbit--as shown 10y the bank
books. Sidney Dillon, clerk to the
Sergeant at Arms, says he thinks he
paid the 81, 200 check drawn in favor
Of IS. C., on beaJer, to Oakcs Amcs
himself, aud that ON so stating his
impression to Mr.. Ames, that gen
,lcman said, sit was very likely he
did"
Against this defense" we have
only the word of Cakes AmcS, Il
man who unblushingly admits him
self to be briber; aud even he
does not claim that there was any
thing dishonest IN Mr. Cnltax'S
transaction with hi,n, which was
simply this: He (Amcs) pcrsuad-
ed Colfax to purchase shares OF
Credit Moblier; Mr.. Coltax agreed,
but could not pay just then, 50 dimes
AeH Ge shares for Colhx. After +
some time ColtnN paid him about 9
$500 on the agreement. \ little I
later Mr.. {. became apprehcnSlve |
that all was not con the square, I
aud notified Ames that he would l
not have anything more to do with
il, and that he could keep the $500 +,
as "A forfeit. Amcs admits that the !
Wee President said something TO
him about the bargain being off,
but insists that he paid him ST.
200 dividend, which is the only 3.
point IN issue.
We have aimed 70 state the mat
ter fairly; Mt least it is stated aS we
understand it. From all evidence
before us, we can but acquit the
Wee President of the charge Of {

A BURGLARIoUs RODENT,

Misses Gunsop & Middletown are
dressmakers and milliners, doing pros
porous business at No. All ST.. Clair
street, BY means of industry and econ
omy they had been enabled in a few
months TO save $500 to pay the last in
stallment, we believe, Of the purchase
money Of their place. To prevent any
dishonest person from stealing the
amount it was slowed away in an old
satchel, which was thrown under the
counter in an apparently careless way,
and which looked altogether innocent of
having any valuable contents. A few
drys since, as the day for payment ap-
preached, one of the ladies took the
satchel to see if the money was safe. To
her astonishment the satchel was empty.
What had become of the greenbacks was
n mystery for time. At length a tiny
hole was discovered gnawed through a
corner of the satchel, and then the ladies
remembered having lately seen little
mouse running about the shop in the vi
cinity of the satchel. Putting these cir
cumstanLes together, clew was obtained
to the thief. The next step was to verify
the suspicion that the mouse was the
real thief. By carefully serutinizing the
floor the course OF the diminutive burg
lar was tracked by bits of greenbacks to
a hole in the wall, inside of which was
found nest made of the missing 5000.
But the bill and scrip had been torn to
fragments. so that not cent could be
saved. In this nest lay the mouse which
had done the mischief, and it was dead
having probably been poisoned by the
arsenic contained in the green colorine
on the money! Cleveland CO.,, Plain

LONGER LIVED.

A few years ago, at the Eglinton tour
nament in England, it appeared that the
famous knights OF three and four centu-
ries ago must have been smaller even
than the Englishmen of to-day, for it
was impossible TO put on their armor.
And now come vital statistics to prove
that We are more hardy and longer lived
than our fathers. The statistics kept at
Geneva since 1860 show that the average
term of life has been steadily lengthen-
ing. At that time the average was only
twenty-five years; it is now forty. ln the
fourteenth century the average mortality
in Paris was one in sixteen; the rate has
been reduced in our day to one in thirty
two. In England, less than two centuries
ago, themortality was one in thirty-three,
and now one in forty-two. The laws Of
life are better understood, the comforts
OF life more widely distributed. and the
habits Of living improved; even con
sumption, the fatal malady of our New
England climate, il yielding slowly to a
wiser method of treatment, and the an
nual percentage of deaths is smaller than
nity years ago. II, by sound system Of

ladder senseless, in which condition he
remained for the space of half an hour,
when he osme to. The wound was a
severe one, and it is wonder the brick,
which fell distance of twenty-eight feet,
did not kill him outright. The supposi-
ton is, that it struck him broadside,
otherwise it would have proven fatal
