In a recent address ex-senator Doc
little remarked: whatever may be said
in criticism of Mr.. JohnsOn's public
course, all parties agree that the White
House was never more gracefully kept
and presided over, than by his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Patterson-a perfect lady, a
model of a Republican mistress of the
White House. Let me tell a fact
which has never been published, but
which l had from the lady's own lips.
Just as she was about to leave, at the
end of Mr.. Johnson's administration,
the steward of the house took an in
ventory, and found that not onearticle of
furniture was missing or broken; not a
sheet, towel or napkin was lost; and
the house was In perfect order from
top to bottom. She told me another
fact, which I know the wives and daugh-
tiers Of the farmers of Wisconsin will be
glad to hear. When they went into
the White House she purchased two
excellent cows. From the milk of these
COWS she made all the butter, used all
the cream, and made all the ice-cream
used In the Presidents family during
his term: When she went home, she
shipped these COWS to Tennessee. Is
it any wonder, ladies, that Mrs. Pat
terson received the first premium on
butter at their late Fair, last fall?'

THE BOND FORGERY TRIAL.

rDiso greemsnt OF tho Jury-Eleven for
Acauittnl and One for Conviction.
The great bond forgery trial came yesterday TO
very lame ana unsatisfactory conclusion. After
listening to the evidence and arguments Of coun-
sci Tor three weeks, the jury at ave O'Clock yester
day evening, announced that they were positively
unable 10 agree. They had been in at three
O'Clock and asked TO be discharged. as 1t was i'm
possible for them TO agree, but Judge Brady de-
clared that In view of.the fact that the trial had
lasted three weeks and put the county to vast ex-
peuse, lie would be compelled to deny the request.
The Judge asked them at the same time II they
desired instruction on any point.
Juror-If we had positive evidence OF Roberts,

cumstantla evidence as to his using 1t to make an
impression ont nts bond2
Judge Brady-If you believe the circumstantial
evidence you can convict him.
Another,Juror--In order to convict must we not
be convinced that this ide ntica bond No. 2o2, was
forgedf
Ex-Mayor Hall--Your Honor, ask you TO charge
the Jury that Smith said he did not forge any o.
theSsignatures on this particular bond.
A consultation then took place between Assist
ant District Attorney Allen and Judge Brady. Me

Several jurors,rose and declared nrmly that the

nate as to make the bungling remark that there
was settled conviction not. to agree" upon
confirmed hum in his opinion that their inability to-
agree arose from other ca2lSes than mere differ-
ences OF opinion. The other jurors however,
planned that some believed the witnesses for the
prosecution and others did not. AS the foreman
reiterated his conviction that no agreemenr could
be arrived at. even II they were kept together
forty-eght hours longer, and as Mr.. Allen, on the
part OF the District Attorney, announced that

discharged Them When asked how the
jury stood, the fourth juror, o German, told the
reporter OF the HERALD that they stood eleven for
acquttal and one Tor conviction, and that was tho
vote when they took the first ballot. He added
that the sixth Juror was the one who had stub
borny stood out Tor conviction.
Ex-May0r Hall moved, alter the jury had been
discharged that Rooerts be admitted to bail, he
had been In prison since October and could not

be always ready to appear Tor trial. The Judge
announced that he would hear the District
Attorney and Mr.. Hall on this motion on Tuesday
next In the meantime he remanded the prisoner
to the ToDDs. Roberts pressed ex-May0r Halls
hands eagerly aud thanked him heartily for the
result. While the jury we're out Roberts seemed
to be confident OF an acquittaL
