course il i'll becomes ministers of the law
to impeach such u law.
Mr.. Evarts rose to reply to the
argument. He said the aversion
spoken of BY his learned friend
to suit Of this kind, was also regarded
in the same light by the law; We are dis
cussing, said the counsel, the admissible
ity of the witness with regard to his evil
dence and the marriage relations, rs fixed
by the laws of this State; and he submit
ted that there was no rule of common
law opening the mouths of either hus-
band or wife; he argued that the law, as
quoted on the other side, had been changed
by the code of 1869; it must be plain
to the Court that the law governing the
admissability of husband and wife as
witnesses was ruled by the statute oil
1863; he quoted from legal authorities
that wife could not testify against
husband, when either was not party to
the suit; the question, said the counsel,
was raised on the other side, that the huS
band WAS not on one side and the wife on
the other, but the result would
be the same in proving the criminality
Of the wife There was no case in our
courts which showed that wife or II
husband could be witness against each
other under the laws of evidence. Well
might the legislature, said the speaker,
stand appalled, ut the opening mouth of
II husband or wife in the case of adultery.
The legislature impressed with the diff
Guilty of invading the common law, laid
down the rule for neither the wife or the
husband appearing one against the other.
The counsel felt entirely inc mpetent to
examine witness in II case like this,
where he could shut his mouth and re-
fuse to answer any question put to him.
He looked with dismay he said, on the
idea OF a witness being allowed to override
him. All the efforts of the law were to
purify and exalt Il structure that has been
"A perpetual habitation for liberty and
Justice, furnished by the wisdom and
courage Of our ancestors. With this r G.
mark, Evarts closed. Judge Nelson
stated that he would give the matter his
utmost consideration, but warned
counsel that he would deliver no written
opinion, but that it would be Il frankly
spoken opinion on the merits of the case,
The Court made an effort to induce the
counsel 10 go on with the case tomorrow,
or meet next week half an hour earlier
and adjourn half an hour later every
day, but to this the legal practitioners
demurred. Judge Nelson. in answer to
exJudge Fullerton, said that his opinion
would be delivered Immediately on their
meeting on Monday next.

He called attention to the case of South

a case, where wife had left her husband
on account of cruelty and his bringing

wife was admitted rs n witness to testify
as to the facts of the matter. This was
followed by an extract from the opinions
of Justice Jones, in which he admitted
the late changes in the law with regard to
relations between husband and wife, in
this country and England and referred
briefly to them. Counsel at this point

After recess commotion was raised in

toned seats facing the jury and behind
the counsel of the defense.
When order had been restored Mr..
Beach continued his argument. He was
aware that plaintiffs testimony would re-
fleet on the chastity and purity of his
wife. The answer of the law was that
she was not interested in the suit, and she
might claim all the privileges of wife
from the plaintiff, II was not the hus-
band that revealed this wife's dishonor,

In the lives of the saddest of us
there are bright days when we feel as
if we could take the great world into
our arms. Then come gloomy days
when the fire will neither burn on our
hearths nor in our hearts, and all with

dark. Believe me, every heart has its
secret sorrows, which the world knows
not of; and oftentimes we call man
cold when he is only sad.

AN ADVENTURE WITH A GRIZZLY.

Docs AND SHEEP.-A Texas paper
asserts that sheep valued at seven mill
lion dollars are annually destroyed by
dogs in that State. This seems almost
incredible, but it is certain that the
destruction of sheep by dogs in the
whole country involves an enormous
loss. Mary land and Virginia are both
great sufferers from this cause. The
destructive propensities of the dog in
this respect more than counterbalance
any services he renders. 1t is pleasant

injury to little boys and girls; he loun-
ges at the street corners, and is the first
arrival at the dog fight or any other
sport or serape; he crowds in the post
office in the evening and multipties
himself and his antics at such rate that
people having legitimate business are
crowded out; he thinks himself very
sharp he is certainly very noisy; he can
smoke or chew tobacco now and then
and rip out an oath most any time.

he yours We think he is, for there
is many good qualities in the lad; and

does on the street. Look after him,

As he slowly waddled toward us, the
