HumOrs of the Great Trial.

The New York World gives the fol-
lowing amusing version of an incident
in the cross-examination of James
Woodley. colored servant of the
Woodhull:
James had something to say-name-
" that he had overheard Tilton urging
W oodhull to publish or threaten to pub
lish the " Beecher article" and make
her everlasting fortune. He was
worth two hours cross. examination,
which he vainly tried to shorten by
pleading rheumatism. The fun he
made was by naively ignoring the SOL
emnlty OF the occasion. He wouldn't
tell Mr.. Fullerton how much money
he had at certain period, and intim-
ated that 1T was nome of the counsel's
business. He signally failed to appre.
ciate the character of a cross-examina.
ton and when brought back for the
THIRD or fourth time to the same point,
he demonstrated, "You's trifin' away
too much time; did'n [ toIe you that
befo?" Finally, and on an important
point, he grew sulky and wouldn't an
swer-said he had answered enough,
and then coolly, when further pressed,
:" | guess we got bout froo wild dat"
So that Mr.. Fullerton had to get help
from the Court. One of the most
amusing instances happened concern
ing odd jobs. James said he did odd
jobs. Mr.. Fullerton asked, "Who
for ?"
James-What use is it who for =? [
couldn't tell you half.
Mr.. Fullerton-Tell me one.
Jsmes-What's the good of one.
MIR. Fullerton-James. can't you
tell me one man for whom you have
done job?
James-Myself.
Mr.. Fullerton-One besides yourself.
James-Oh, we'll, I'll tell you one.
He told one and Mr.. Fullerton said:
''Tell me another"
James-See that now. You ask me
to tell you JUS one an I tole you, and
right off you say, Tell me nudder"
Mr.. Fullerton = Only one more,
James.
James-Well, if you promise not to
as me again tole you one mo-.
The promise was made and the an
swer given.

THE SECRET OF MooDY's Power.

THE SECRET OF MooDY's POWER.
The secret of such influence as the
American revivalist possess seems to
us very simple. Mr.. Moody, the
preacher, has shrewdncss and presence
of mind, a very few familiar style,
good deal of Yankee sang-froid, and
that complete satisfaction is assuming
the literal truth Of the Bible, the
whole Bible and nothing but the Bible,
which almost by magic seems to take
possession of persons who have found
in the words Of some parts of the Bible
the secret of new life. Yet though
the chief impression left by Mr..
Moody's preaching is the impression of
a narrow, but well-deined stamp of
conviction on somewhat hard sub
stance, he is capable Of pathos, and
even tenderness now and then. the
sudden contrast they present to his
wide awake familiarity with both man
and God. There was something of
pathos, and even passion, in his tone
when he expressed his belief at the
Agricultural Hall that God could hush
every heart in the vast assembly before
him a pathos and passion which took
those by surprise who had. noted the
''cute" and self satisfied way III which
he begged the audience to begin bv
thanking God for the great work God
was about to do in London, almost as
if it were good stroke of strategy to
commit the Almighty before hand to
his course by depositing the payment
by anticipation in His hands. That
bit of tactics suggested rather painful
ly quick, smart, business-like mind,
a conception of him which almost
every thing else in Mr. Moody's style of
address confirmed; and yet there is ev-
identity in the man real feeling of
gratitude whenever that keen, smart
active little brain of his is overawed
and laid to rest for moment or two
by the touch of something infinite and
eternal.-London Spectator.

SEEKING TO CHECK EMIGRATION.
The Berlin correspondent of the
London Times writes: Emigration
to America having been very much
decreased of late, the Berlin govern
ment, who have long looked with dig
favor upon the steady diminution of
the national resources involved in the
movement, have determined to profit
by the present opportunity for stem
ming the tide. The principal measures
to be adopted are the Acknowledgement of
portion Of the immense crown lands
Of Prussia, and the prohibition to enlist
emigrants on foreign account at pre-
MUM of SO much per head. Bv the
former measure poor people are to be
enabled to acquire few acres and a
house which they may call their own
the later step being intended to put a
final stop to the business of Brazilian
and other foreign agents bent upon
Turing people into misery. There is
no doubt that this determination of the
Prussian government will shortly begin
to be felt in America and elsewhere.

WEBN ESDAY, APRIL 6, 1875.
SPRING ELECTIONS.

On Monday, Connecticut elected
state officers and members of Congress.
The Democrats reelected Ingersoll,
governor, by about 1000 majority.
The vote of the State was larger than
last year, the relative gain of each party
being equal. In the First Congressional
District the gallant General Hawley,
Republican, is defeated by 400 votes.
The Democrats carry three of the four
districts, gain of two members for the
Democrats. The success of the De-
mocratic party in Connecticut is large
ly due to the Importation of votes from
New York City in the Tapmany inter-
est. Connecticut is too near New
York to expect healthy reaction in
the politics of the State. In Michigan
a Justice Of the Supreme Court anG
Jud ges were chosen. For these posi-
tons the Republican candidates made
a clean sweep of the State, the Repub-
licans making large gains over last fall.

LEARNING FAsT.-The Indians are
fast learning white mems tricks. The
Black Hills region of country has been
set apart to the Sioux Indians, and they
cannot be driven from their possessions
without violating the treaty made with
them, or by direct purchase. The
Sioux have not been slow to, learn that
the B lack Hills Country is looked up
on as rich in gold, and that the whites
are eager for its possession. The del
egates Of Sioux Indians soon to be in
Washington, taking advantage of the
great favor their lands are held in, IN
tend asking plump one million dol
lars for their claim, and not paltry
twenty thousand as was expected.

The Secretary Of War has directed
the General In command of the De-
partment of the Gulf to prevent the
Mexlcans from traversing the Rio
Grande. The General has now at dis
command the 4th, 9th and 10th caval-
ry, and the 10th, 18th, Oath and 18th
infantry. 1t is believed that these
regiments can be so concentrated along
the border, and divided in souadroops.
as to secure very efficient patrol.

A SLIDE TO DEATH.-Near Jack
son, Michigan, on Sunday, three small
boys, named Ferris. went out to slide
down hill. At the foot of the hill was
pool OF water frozen over, over which
they tried to slide The ice was thin,
and all fell in but one, the eldest, got
out. The other two were lifeless when
recovered.
The money spent in Boston to cele-
brate St. Patrick's day this year would
have transported 1000 families west of
the Mississippi and presented to each
head of family 100 acres of land.

THE New FIVE PER CENT RoNn

THE New FIVE PER CENT. BONDS.
April 2.-The Treas

States During the recent high rates
for gold they were very slow of sale.

1t is stated by the proper authorities

SHOE FAsHIoNs.-A Paris cores.
pendent writes: "Some one said, not
long ago, that high heels were going
out of fashion. That some one should
come to Paris; there be would see that
heels, instead of decreasing, are increas-
ing, in height. Ladies walk quite on
their toes. For usual walking there is
not anything more ladylike or becom-
ing than a plain boot, without bow,
buckle, or any ornament whatever.
This boot makes the foot small and
graceful, and it is the best, most liked
by gentlemen, and entire nobs. and la
dies would do we'll to study their taste.
The open tab boot is merely worn for
evening. the high shoe for morning.
Toes of boots are now worn pointed.
This necessitates longer boot, but it
makes the foot appear more narrow"

THREE MEN Found Frozen NEAR
FORT HAYS, KANsAs.--TopEKA. Kan.
April l.-On Saturday last party of
hunters operating on the frontier about
seventy-fve miles southwest OF Fort
Hays, discovered a camping outfit and
a yoke of straying cattle near rooAess
cabin. Upon entering the cabin and
removing several feet of snow, they
found the dead bodies of three men.
Papers on the bodies indicated that
one of tie men was named johnson,
and another named Hammond, but
nothing further could be ascertained
concerning them. It is supposed that
they took refuge in the cabin during
the terrible snowstorm about the mid
die of January, anu persisted there of
cold and hunger. They had with them
a yoke Of black oxen, wagon, need
le-gun and S2l in money. The bodies
were buried near the place where they
were found. The property was brought
into the settlements, and is now in pos

FREsH BLOwN FLowERs IN WINTER.-
Choose some of the most powerful buds of
the flowers you wonld preserve, such as are
latest in blowing and ready to open; cut
them of with pair Of scissors, leaving to
each, If possible, piece of the stem three
inches long; cover the end Of the stem i'm.
mediately with sealing wax, and when the
buds are little shrunk and wrinkled wrap
each Of them up separately in piece Of
paper, perfectly clean aud dry and lock
them up in box or drawer, and they will
keep without corrupting. In winter, or any
other time when you would have the flowers
blow, take the buds at night and cut of the
end Of the stem scaled with wax and put the
buds into water, wherein little nitro of salt
has been diffused and the next day you will
have the pleasure Of seeing the buds open
and expand themselves, and the flowers dis
play their most lovely colors and breathe
their agreeable odor.

LIMIT Your WANTs.-From the nature of
things, the income of most Of the inhabitants
Of the earth must be limited, and indeed
within very narrow bounds. The product Of
labor throughout the world, it equally d.
vded, would not make the share Of each
individual large. Ii is impossible that every
one should be what is called rich. But it is
by no means impossible to be independent
Aud what is the way to compass this "glo-
rious privilege ?" The method is very sim
pie. 1t consists ia one rule: limit your
wants. Make them few and inexpensive.
To do this would interfere but little with
your real enjoyment. 1t is mostly matter
Of habit You require more, or you are
satisfied with less, just as you have accus.
toned yourself 10 one or tho other, Limit
your wants, estimate their cost aud never
exceed it, taking pains to keep it always
inside Of your income. Thus you will secure
your lasting independence. Young men,
think Of this. A great deal of the happiness
Of your lives depends upon it. After hav-
ing made your money, spend it as you choose,
honestly; but be sure you make it FIRST

A Three Thousand Dollar Bed.


Such, says Halls Journal, was the price
recently paid by a lady for a single bed.
"AIOst extravagant," says one what are
we coming to-" says another. But it was
the lady's own money that paid for it, aud it
was reallya foe bed. swell, what if it
was it was certainly piece Of useless ex-
travagance" Let us look for a moment at
the particulars, before asserting to such a
positive opinion. .i ......
The bed is really very substantial one,
aud is placed in very good building but
besides being very costly and substantial
there are certain peculiarities about it, which
may possibly excuse the extravaganza of Its
cost, aud entitle the lady purchaser to COM
mendation instead of censure.
The bed is one that will never wear out,
and it Is said that the same house has fifty.
four other beds just like it These lifty.fvc
beds are in st Luke's hospital, on Fifth
avenue. N. Y, and are for the benefit O
those who are sick and poor and have nc
home, nor any friends who can lend them q
helping hand. Every $4,000 given to thai
institute is put to safe interest, aud the in
come devoted to the board, bed, washing

human being young or old, Catholic or Prot
estant, who can pay nothing. On recovery
or death of the occupant OF this bed, it i,

ply; so it will be while the country stands
The bed will never wear out. Was it to-
costly? Was it not noble heart that savct
and paid that $4,000 for that bed? Bles
the woman, bless the man who thus den,
themselves to bless others others whom the
never knew; but who bear the image of Hin
who was the friend Of the poor aud suffering
and who gave His life that they might b
saved.
