A Drilled ana RIddied witasss.

II Mr.. Adolf CIuss was drilled" to get up a
batch Of damaging testimony" against the
District government, he was fairly ridlied
under the test OF the cross -ex animation. His
glib testimony IN chief, where question and
answer responded as APPLY as in the dialogue
Of an oft-rehearsed play, changed to hslting
contradictions, confused evssions, point blank
denials, followed by abject admissions of wrong
evidence, until the bitterest enemy OF thu
witness must have pitied the unhappy wretch
thus pillOried before the public gsz, in his act
of base treschery and perhdy to his bene-
factor, and in the swift and over
wLelming confutatcn of his dAstardiy
fslsetoods designed to iDjure that friend.
He was compelled to admit tn st he was not ven
member OF the Board of Public Works at the
time when, according 10 his previous testimony,
dan assistant responsible to me was taken away
from nv supervision, and he, under the direct
order OF the vice president, then made these
charges" He swOre positively in his Wednes-
days testimony that the account for work
against government property rendered last
November had been made up without his
knowledge and approval, aud fraudulentIy 70
deceive the government. Yet when confronted
by the vouchers yesterday, after many pitIful
eva-ioEs, he was compelled to acknowledge
that his own genuine signature was appended
to every one OF them. And in the course
Of his cress- examination he was confronted
with voucher after voucher and document
after document bearing his fs.al 81 Signature "a a
damniug evidence Of the falsity of his reyious
testimony denying that he had ever signed
them, and that any puTPOrted signatures were
foTg1ries. AS the cross examination went
on, m5meEtarily compelling from the witness
a new point blank contradiction of his pre-
vious testimony, his attitude and bearing
was truly humiiisting. His psllid face, his
parched lips and tongue, that refused TO
obey the helm when he esssyed to speak, and
bis trembling knees all told of his confession
and discomhtment. Finally he asked permits
zion to take seat; and the psllor and dsmay
upon the faces of his trainers and hackers near
Linn bore witness how nearly his humiliation
came home TO them. To-day he testides that
he did not mean to charge fraud upon the Board
OF Public Works this, after his testimony on
wednesday that the measurements were fraud
uient and intended TO deceive the Government!

Duck Shooting at Town Point.

Starting from John A. Wilson's, in Elk
Neck, at 5 o'clock A. NJ, after a good
nights rest, w. S. E., and self found our
selves at Georges shore, on the Elk river,
where by agreement we were to meet
Mr.. Chas. Ullary, who by the way slept
rather sourdly, but was aroused in time to
start for Town Point by day-break. Being
foggy, we had to have fog-signal at our
starting point who answered our calls lust
lily until Mr.. Foulks answered from the
shore opposite, which We reached in good
time.
This decays were soon out, and taking
our stations In the blind, awaited events.
Soon about 80 red heads darted, a whizz,
the feet drop, the whole flock are going to
light; Captain Hilary was to give the word
to shoot, knowing that excitement was
rather high, he told us not to shoot, which
we took for shoot, and my gun missed fire
"a defective cap on first harrel-Evans
and Hilary firing; my second barrel soon
after. Two brakes drop dead, four more
badly wounded fall a short distance off,
which owing to the fog we were not
able to pursue. One by one the birds were
brought down, until six victims paid the
penalty of approaching too near our guns.
The dinner bell now rang, where we en-
ioyed splendid dinner, prepared by our
kind hostess, Mrs. o. B. Foulks, to which
we did good service, having our arpetites
whetted up by exercise and fresh air.
Again repairing to the blind, seven more
were added to orr bag.
We cannot close without thanking
Messrs. G. T. and o. B. Foulks for their
kindness towards us throughout, possess
ing, as they do, facilities enjoyed by no one
else; their point being the finest in the
State for ducking, TO say nothing of its
b.s...;;ful location and surroundings. Be-
ing excellent xhets and fitted up in every
particular for ducking, it is = trSas. pot to
be lightly appreciated, particularly whon
in addition to this there is added through
tie kindness of our accomplished hostess,
an excellent dinner. Nor would we forget
the kindness Of Mr.. Epfg. Harry VINO Is
capital shot; and at the close Of the aay
18th he and the b1essrs Foulks refused to
take > s,.g,a duck, we felt that it was
kindness upon kindness, to express our
thanks for which words would be useless.
With the cordial invitation to renew the
visit, which We intend to do before the
season closes, to try the breeeh leaders. as
we were so unfortunate as not to have
them along, and which we hope to give
good account of as you shall hear from us

THE ONLY CHILD SAVED FROM TIE
VILE DU HAvRE.-A Paris correspondent,
speaking of the Vile du Havre disaster,
says: "Of the fourteen young children on
board, only one was saved. AS she came
to the surface she instinctively caught at
the first object floating past, and said to a
lady who hung to the other side, can't
die, So! A wilful, petted child, she even
now struggled against the general fate.
Her own story of the shipwreck is shorter
than many, but full of pathos: There
was great crash, and they called to come
ON the other side; then l was in the water
she does not remember having gone
down. and l held on; then boat came
and took us off. | don't remember going
on board the big ship, but they gave me
some brandy; then l was dreadfully sick,
and they took off my clothes and put on
me mans shirt, and put me to bed.
She hugs her doll, and looks up with her
large blue eyes, which never until now
saddened; and remembers and seems to
mourn over the fate of a kitten which
tloated past and she could have saved"
