fourth OF the whoie DAYS SESSION. beiOfe Lawyer
Sherman began TO read rom Woodruff and clal-
Inns paper. THIS was read IN acqulescence with
ruling half dlgesied last Friday, that tnis outrs
newspaper might be used to a small extent.
There we're no females In Court, although the
weather was very good and the SKY and the walk
ing good. All the sensations had departed, Ike the
baseless fabric OF vision. The bouquets. the
plaintiffs wife, su rounded by her maids OF honor;
the defendants wife, sturdy holding up his cause
upon her resoute presence; tie wives Of song OF
the Plymouth people and the Plymouth lawyers,
all were gone.
What is life without womens what II scan

memory dear, we remembered them all yesterday
and grieved that perchance inhospitaole criticism
had driven them away. II so, return, on, snow

Return coy matron, wno has already learned 70
face the beasts of the arena. Let look into thy
face, oh thou whose name was worn by the stormy
Virgin queen, and see IN 1t the grand drama OF
the mind surprising evidence, the crater whose
existence attests the volcano. Come back IN thy
sadness and thy sternness. thy suneripgs and tny

There sat Tilton, however, the type or the mod
ern Roger ChilingworIn, except that his vie had
abandoned him for an Oh man. so charged, ana
not Tor younger one. She lad retreated into
antiquity ike Zenobia. Tiiton took 10 all ike be-
ing injured past remedy. The golden bowl was
broken and the pitcher at the fountain. and no,n-
lng was left for Theodore but the laws delay.
He sat, as usual, patient listener to the testi-
mony, hardly opening his mouth, seldom smiling,
not often looking very sad. There Is IN hin, how
ever. the air OF one oppressed, not so much with
pain with a public sorrow, and something
vacant, expected, unending, unsatisfying, remote
and yet near by, abides or ever IN his slowly mel
lowing wrinkling lace. Yesterday, as IL seemed
TO some, he was perhaps lonesome because ms
wife was absent WHAT wonderful reality 1t
might be. TO our inconsistent and indrm natures,
II this man and this woman had crawled to court
to see each other suffer, out OF their mutual and
wayward love; to take the only opportunity law
association and society allowed, TO look a. esch
other, and III that look derive compensation for
interminable ernlity. All ethics and precedents
are wasted on tine wild, yearnng heart OF love.
Yesterday the counsel for the plaintiff were very
quiet. Three OF the defendants lawyers-Tracy,
Evarts and Shearman-examned Moulton, with
the usual luck-that is, the witness kept his cool
imperturbabllity, except three tour times, when
he retorted and expressed himself with a sort OF
gladlatorial spirit, once saying Of Mr. Beecher,
al probably said he was Uterine and a sneak,
as he Isl" He also set upon LAWYER Tracy, and
by repeated answers exposed the fact that Tracy
was acting as Joint mutual friend to Beecher as
an associate OF himself This is one of the singu-
arities OF the trial, the adhesion OF part OF the
counsel to the res gesty OF the case 1t frequently
happens that the name and acts OF the interocu-
ruolya n s,r
this is recrimination and bad temper, to which
the foreign counsel, like Evarts, Porter, Beach
and Fullerton, are not exposed. Evarts and Full
ierton hobnob every day at the END of the
Evarts also laughs and tests with Moult0n.

THE EARL OF EosEBERY
was on the bench Yesterday, q scottish earl OF an
old and respectable family. IN politics liberal
and, as it Is presumed the afianced OF d New
York lady. he was well dressed in the English
style with brown oyercoat and very little jew
elry for one OF his character, with good color,
rudy brown hair and an open, inqgiring and in
genuous expression OF countenance. The Earl Of
Roseoery watched the trial on a very poor day,
as the ladies' and the defendant had absconded or
relapsed, ana only the apostle TIlton and one OF
Beecher's sons adorned the perspective Rose
berry was addressed by q gentleman al the recess
who referred to ais extremely radical speech be-

surprised that a gentleman Of your station should
utter sentiments so apparently opposed TO your
interests" Kosebery replied, Frhe interests, SIR,
are a very poor guide TO the Judgment
