MoultOn's testimony was given by him
III his usual style. His GOODNESS never
deserted him. When Gen. Tracy asked
him when he heard The ''true story
read, Moulton said that he did not exactly
remember, but that Gen. Tracy was in
his house at the time and fell asleep
while it was being read. This reused Mr..
Everts, who protested against the answer.
Moulton, with the utmost GOODNESS,
craved pardon for lis inadveftence, and
said he only wished to fix the date.
Counsel laughed heartily, and Mr..
Earts looked very glEan. Moulson kept
on worrying the cross-examining counsel
in this way through the entire Gay. He
WAS asked about taking down a portrait
of Beechsr hanging on she wall Of his
paxlOr. NoJIlton first managed to state to
the jury thin. the picture had been given
him by Tilton, and that his own and
Tiltm's portraits were also hung in his
parlor. When the examination vereed
on n letter Moulton said he wrote while
in bed, Gen Tracy assumes an air OF
incredulity which Moulton noticed, aDd
he at once added ''my wife brought me
the paper" Gen. Tracy, angry at being
again baiiled, said eve don't care about
your wife, sir, aud Moulton smiled that
pleasant and deceptive smile for which
be is noted. Gen. Tracy then asked
Moulton if it was not n fact that, by
reason It his late hour of rising on
Sunday, his wife had been prevented
from attending Plymouth church service.
Moulton did not get angry, but smiled as
usual and said, "Well, really, General,
do not know" Again, when Mr. Evarts
got in passion, and said, Eve don't
want to know what your wife did,"
Moulton, remembering Mr.. Evarts pre-
vious injunction as 20 telling the whole
truth and nothing but the TRUTH said,
'-Mr Evarts,. your instructions MS tn tell
ing the truth are so peculiar, D find
difficulty in observing them.

the United States Court at Springfield,

who died at the age of sc seek to SET
aside certain conveyances ofland made
to various religious societies made in
fulfillment of vow, when he was in a
tight place financially, that if he got
out of it safely he should give the
full credit, and donate all his wealth
to the cause of religion. He did come
through all right, and made his will
according to promise, but his heirs
believing that good luck and early ris.

Benefits OF the Grange,

We clip the following from the West
Tennessee Journal. 1t is good and
highly worthy of endorsement:
The Grange has already benefited
the country; the tide of corruption is
being turned back in politics the out
look for plenty is greatly improved !;
the farmers, by interchange of senti-
ment, are made wiser; the lands are
being fertilized, the farms improved,
the quantum of labor increased and
the crops are more diversified, and SO
will these things be kept up until
plenty smiles again upon the people.
When the farmer prospers, the cities
and towns necessarily grow: the law
yer, doctor, merchant, mechanic, min:
lister. and all are enabled to live easily
and accumulate rapidly. Thus we see
that all men of all pursuits are direct
" interested In the farmers success.
Give them a word of cheer, and stand
firmly by his business.

Remedy for Poison by Ivy or Poison
Oak.

1t seems to me that I read all kinds
of cures for ivy poison except the
right one. I have always endeavored
to keep it before the public, but have
failed. tits to dissolve sugar of lead
bit the size of hazlenut-in halt a
teacup of sweet milk or warm water.
Apply as warm as can be easily borne
with soft, linty piece of linen rag.
Three or four applications are sufici-
ent to effect cure. If the poison is
on the face and nearing the eyes or
mouth, this astringent wash may be
constantly applied. 1t is a marvellous
cure, and by watching closely one can
see the fevered blisters turn from
white to yellow during the application.
This remedy for ivy poison should pre-
vent great deal Of suffering. 1t is
well where a member of family is
easily poisoned, to keep sugar of lead
in the house all the time. Let it be
labeled and kept where it can be found
the moment it is wanted. Keep it
well wrapped up, that it may not lose
its strength Correspondence Ohio
