OYerreaching Himself.

During the progress of the trial of the case of Widow Matthews against the Elevated Company in the Circuit Court of St. Louis recently, Col. Slay- back, counsel for the defendant, con ceived the idea that one Murphy, wit ness for the plaintiff, was suitor for the hand of the widow, and on the eve of leading her to the altar. Getting Murphy on the stand, the lawyer en- deavored to bring this fact before the jury, and this was the upshot of the ex- animation.
 "Mr. Murphy. are you any relation of the plaintiff"
 "No, sir, am not"
 "Don't you expect to be ?"
 "Such thing might happen"
 "Now, are you not going to marry her ?"
 "I am afraid not"
 "You are afraid you won't. hey ! We'll, now, don't you expect to marry her?"
 eff my wife should die, and the widow remain single till then, such 8 thing might happen"
 The jurors and spectators burst into roar of laughter, and Murphy chuck led at the cunning manner in which he had drawn the lawyer on. The colonel had nothing more to say on the matri- monial question.

The Late Judge Peckham.

Among the passengers lost on the Vile du Havre was the Hon. Rufus w. Peck ham, at the time of his death Judge of the Court of Appeals of New York.
 MT. Peckham belonged to an old and distinguished family in Albany, and first became prominent as member of the law firm employed as counsel by the Anti Renters against the Van Rens- selaer manorial estate. He was elected to Congress, where he served from 1853 to 1855. At the end of his term Mir. Peckham resumed the practice of his profession, and in 1861 was elected Judge of the Supreme Court for the Third District of New York, under the new constitution. In 1867 he was re- elected, and in 1870, under the revised Constitution, he was chosen a member of the Court of Appeals. He was an able lawyer and good judge, and al the time of his death was travelling in pursuit of health.

A Singular Practice.'

Some of the hill tribes in Northern India have peculiar way of sending their babes to sleep, which is thus de- scribed by Q correspondent: "Near hollow bamboo which served as 8 spout, through which the cool water of the mountain stream poured forth in 8 jet, was disposed the head of an infant, who was lying covered warmly and fast asleep. Tho bamboo spout was so placed that the water played upon the crown of the baby's head, over part which seemed bald of hair, a conse- quence, perhaps, of the habitual action of the water. The children (there were two of them) were lying on their right sides and perfectly still, one would fan cy in a state of stupefaction. They had been lying for an hour and half, we were told, and would be there till nine at night, in all between four and five hours. felt the face of one of them and found it cold, and them held the wrist, but could detect no pulse. Yet these hill people are convinced that the strange practice, which is quite general, helps to strengthen the brain, and make the children not only healthy, but hardy and fearless"

Many of them were hurt by fragments of tho wreck. I bruised around till nearly dark, and then proceeded on my voyage for Bristol. Not vestige of the ship, or of man, woman or child, was discovered. There was rather heavy sea, but little wind, when the disaster occurred. The shock was fearful. The rapidity of the steamer going down prevented launch- ing more than 8 whaleboat and the cap. tain's gig. In 12 minutes after being struck the ship went down. The terror which prevailed among the passengers paralyzed the efforts to save many.

 Eighty-seven souls were saved from the steamship, including 33 first.class passengers, 10 of whom are ladies, 29 firemen and boys, and % of the crew, including the Captain and five of his officers. The appalling number of two hundred and twenty-six lives were lost.

A Compact DWellins.

The nursery of the harvest mouse is @ curious affair. It is made of narrow grasses woven together into 8 snug ball, which is hung to the ;stem of two or three stout grasses. This ball is filled with young mice, and though the mother mouse does not go in herself, she manages to take good care of her young. How she does it is one of those things "no fellow can find out, for she is very shy, and will not be watched. These curious creatures are not common brown mice. Their coat is reddish brown on the back, and white on the under side. When full grown they are not half so large as a common mouse i; so you can imagine how very small the mice in the ball must be. In reaching their nest, they run easily up the grass stem, for besides the long, finger-like toes which they have on all their four feet, they have very useful tail, which is as good as hand to hold on with. When they want to go down, they curl this little tail round straw, and slide quickly to the ground again.
