Good Evidence.

Henry Ward Beecher tells the following
incident
Irecollect a man who came to me and
said, Il was in certain firm, and we did
commission business and there were
three or four occasions on which know we
received a good deal Of money which be-
longed to our customers. cannot tell you
who my partners were, because it is not for
me to inculpate them but want you to
take SO much money giving me the amount),
and pay it out so and SO. have made up
my mind to be Christian l feel that
Christian must be honest and l want you
to see such and such men and give them
this money, without my name" 1t was
very interesting interview that had with
one of the men, because the effect was to
break him down and bring him under con-
viction. 1t was a gospel to him. went
to his counting-house and said, 81 have a
very pleasant duty to perform. There is a
man uniting with my church who thinks he
is Christian, who is trying to live Chris
tian life, and who says he has defrauded
you. This is the amount of the principal,
and this is the interest" The man sat and
trembled moment then he said, " Who
is hep For Gods sake, tell me his name.'
No, sir,H ! said, 81 cannot tell you his
name" The man cried like child
"Well," said he, "that means some
thing. Partner come here" The partner
came, and he had to tell it all over to him.
This man himself came to my church
and began to believe in religion. This in
stance was so different from anything that
he had met with before that he thought,
after all, there must be something in Chris
tianity, although no such impression had
been made upon him before that time,r-
For, where men do business and find that
deacons cheat them, that leading men in
the church cheat them, and that they have
to look out as sharp for members of the
church as for anybody else (and little
sharper, because having everything settled
up above, they think they can take little
more liberty down here), then it is hard to
preach the gospel to them effectively /; but
when you bring evidence to worldly business
men that there is among Christians, self
denial, selfsacrifce, and humiliation, not
only before God but before men, it is like a
gospel to them.

e8- A Juror in a criminal case recently
tried at San Francisco said that he would
like to agree to verdict of acquittal, but
was prevented from doing SO by his oath
which required him to render verdict ao-
cording to law and evidence. To show his
his sincerity, however, he offered tbeing a
man Of means) to draw check for $500,
to be applied toward paying the fine and
request the Judge not TO impose any inn
prisonment. Several other Jurors who
agreed with him agreed to increase the
sum to 81 900, so that the prisoner and his
family would suffer no pecuniary loss by
reason of the verdict The majority of the
jury would agree to nothing but verdict
Of acquital. A disagreement was the RESULT
and the prisoner win have to undergo an
other trial.

sWINDLIAa THE GOVERNMENT.
A Disabled Man Falsely Personated and
His Bounty Obtained.


case OF heartless theving from the govern
ment through the name OF disabled and destl-
tute man was reported at Poce headquarters
yesterday afternoon. An old soldier named Hugh
Crossun, coming from the Soldiers Retreat on
Wards Island visited Inspector Dilks and asked
to Oe informed how he should act TO recover some
money out OF which the government had been
swIndied and which was due him. He said that
he had served through the war as private in
Company X, OF the One Hundred and Fifty-second
regiment, New York lniantry, and nad been
disabled by wounds and disease. AS a
consequence, alter q dshedrtenlng trial
to sustain himself even IN poverty without
beRgary. he gave up the attempt and entered the
soldiers Retreat While there ne learned that ne
was owed 500 as bounty by the government.
Some weeks ago he applied to the proper officials
in " ashlngton Tor the money to be sent to him.
He was soon informed tnat the money was paid IN
June 1861, to person represented TO be and sIgn-
lug himself as Hugh CroSsun, and that the papers
the aIse CrOssun presented were attested by par
ties signing themselves as l.. Brown IL Co. anu J..
Nelson Luckey, per j. i. Graham, attorney. Cr0s-
sun was told at the Central once that II ne could
prove his identity the government was sim bound
to pay him: and tnat, unless the government
could recover the bounty money from the swIn-
diers, 1t, and not ne, must be the loser.

The Probate Court room was again filed with

being the meeting OF counsel for the State aud the
respondents In the case OF the American National
Life and Trust Company before Judge Bradley.
Hon. II. B. Harrison, on the part OF the STATE,
STAYED that he desired to make an alteration in
the wording OF the application OF the Commas
sioner for the appointment OF o trustee which
had filed, to the effect that valuation Of the
assets and llabili les had been made.
Colonel Wright, for the company, remarked. In
response, that such an alteration would change
the whole character OF the petition, and would IN
fact bring in new counts, which there IS no
authority TO do. Commissioner Stedman did not
make valuation. or did not so report when the

Notwithstanding the bitter cold weather yester-

continued at sandy Hook under direction of Major
Mackee, one OF the board OF officers selected Dy

verted into an eighr-inch rife by the In
sertion OF q coil OF wrought iron about
an inch and half IN thickness. For matter oil ref
erence we Will repeat description OF the method
OF manufacturing the improved gun, as heretofore
explained IN the HERALD. The smo0tn-bore gun is
bored out and its diameter increased by about an
inch to po.nt within about 1901 from the bottom
OF Its tube. Bars OF wrought iron are then colled
coil Is heated and then welded. Wnen the tube
thus formed is cold 1t Is put into the old gun
Gaagat WIN ~ collar 81 tne moatn n OF tae iece;

which the expansive pressure OF the gases must
cause the Dse ted cylinder to I'LL. Since the 2lst
OF October up to yesterday December 15 $50
rounds mad been fired from the gun, with
tnrty.aye ponds OF powder and i7o pound
rounds is 500. Thus lar the gun SHOWS no sign OF
overstrainiRg-tne former projectiie under the
curing about iorty 10 fifty POUNDS OF powder. The
new gun has double the power Of tine old one at
the "o m1aze ana Two TO tnIee Imes the lower a.

1t Is also believed tbat 1t Is capable Of
lmpelling proJectile through a seven or eight

ment being established, all the old smooth bore
guns now DONG Quaker-like duty on our wretched
line oil coast deences, Will be converted into rlned
guns upon the new plan. The Importance OF this
Improvement for all our seacoast defences cannot
be overestlmated, and Congress should not act
