exchange of cuts and jokes by counsel.
Just as he made the last answer, the door
opened, and in came a messenger bearing
a telegram to Mr.. Beach, who hastily
tore it open, and, on reading it, asked
the court to suspend the examination for
q moment, as there was a person at the
door waiting to see the witness, and it
wa necessary he should see him.
Permission was at one given. 1t was
noticed that Moulton, who had not the
remOtest idea Of the nature of the bust
ness on which he WAS wanted, appeared,
~instinctively, or III some mysterious way,
to feel that he was about to learn Of some
calamity. He flushed and got down off
the chair slowly, and with tagging step,
like n man suddenly stricken with feeble
ness i'll the limbs, he tottered, rather
than walked, after the messenger. While
he was absent, Mr.. Beach briefly in
formed the court that he had just
: received a telegram announcing the
death of Mr.. Moulton's mother, which
took place that morning that her illness
had been concealed from MoultOn, and
he was then about to learn of her death.
It would be proper, under those clrcum-
stances, to defer the examination, and it
could be resumed ut another time.
Mr.. Evarts ~concurred in this PROPOSE
ton, and said they should take up an
other witness.
just then Moulton, who had learned
the worst, came back with moist eyes,
but firm step and head erect. He was
about mounting the witness stand again,
but Mr.. Beach detained him by the arm.
Moulton then spoke up manfully, and,
addressing the court, said "Iour
honor, I have Just learned of the death
of my mother. L Will finish this-I mean
if it will not be too long"
The Judge (compassionately)-Bette
defer it.
Mr.. Evarts urged that it would be i'm
possible to finish with the witness to-
dav, and it was better to defer it.
The JUDGE think SO.
Mr.. Beach, have acceded to the de-
sire of witness to overcome his private
grief for the public benefit, and it is de-
,irable that, as he says, this examination
should close.
Mr.. Fullerton-I will make it rs brief
as possible.
The witness then returned to the stand
and the examination was resumed. His
answers were given in a more subdued
tone than before, but were full, clear,
and wide-awake. The incident threw a
damper on the explosiveness of counsel
and audience, for the specter of the pale
horse and his terrible rider had sudden
ly risen up before the bar Of justice.

Mr.. Shearman then announced that he
had an original copy of the Woodruff
scandal az published in Woodruff and
CIafin's Weekly, A determined effort
was then made by counsel for the de-
PENDANT to introduce as evidence the
statements of Mrs. Woodruff as to her
free-love doctrines, her connection with
Tilton, and the history of the Moulton-
Beecher pistol scene. They were ruled
out by Judge Nelson. Mr.. Shearman
then read the extracts, i'll order to have
them heard by the jury, under the legal
form of reading them to fix an objection.
At one period of the reading, Judge
Nelson, speaking of Mrs. Woodhull's
statement, said: eve suppose it exhib-
its an extraordinary degree of modesty on
her part" Judge Fullerton, in his sar-
castle way, said: "Not half so extraordi-
nary a display Of modesty as that Of the
counsel in reading it," Mr.. Shearman
seemed slightly disconnected, but contin-
ued the reading. In offering the ex-
tracts as evidence he claimed that the
Woodruff article contained Infamous
charges against not only Beecher but
also against Tilton and MoultOn, In refer
ence to which the three parties named
met to consult rs to the best course to
pursue regarding these accusations. One
was accused of adultery, and the hus-
band was accused of connivance ut the
adultery, and that he reintroduced the
adulterer to his family, and the husband
recommended the wife to him, and the
mutual friend was charged with the vile
crime of presenting a pistol to the head
of a distinguished clergyman and de-
handing a paper which he had in his
possession. During this argument of
Mr.. Shearman Mr.. Tilton's face flushed
slightly. The extracts were ruled out on
Mr.. Shearman's argument, as well as on
a general proposition of law laid down
by Mr.. Evarts.

inquiry on the identity of the prisoner
lately arrested upon being the famous
Mana Sahib, Identifies him as not Mana
Sahib, but as a man named Jumma
Dass, who is supposed to be a native OF
Benares. The concurrent testimony OF
twenty-seven witnesses, as well as the
absence from his body Of physical marks
which We're known to exist upon Mana
Sahib, combined with his general appear
ance and the difference between his APP
parent age and what would be Mana
Sahib's age if he were alive, are the
grounds upon which the report rests.

ITrom the Springfield Mass Republican,
Already, of course, the verdict Of tine
Jury begins to be discounted. 4 dis
agreement is the common expectation and
most probable result. 1t Is, indeed,
limited that Mr.. Beechcr's lawyers will be
satisfied with this. Perhaps it is all they
have a right to expect certainly 1t Is,
unless the case puts on some extraordl-
nary changes. Whatever the verdict, be
it for or against, OF divided, we look for
no very marked revolution in public
opinion. On the supposition of guilt,
Mr.. Beecher played for q division IN
public opinion, for a party and a church
that would stand by him, as against the
utter condemnation and extinction that
would have followed confession. So far
he has attained his end, and, for aught
we can see, he can keep it, with possibly
slowly lessening hold throughout his
life. It is one of those cases that go dis
puted into history, and upon which the
final verdict of posterity, when uttered
unlike contemporary Judgments gen
orally made with a generous charity, if
it is not dissipated by excuse. Crimes,
horrible to us, often seem like mild
o~ffnnses to our children.

A FRENCH naturalist has recently
grouped, for public convenience, q num-
Der of his observations upon animals,
showing that many members of the brute
creation may be used as living barom-
ters. Rain or wind, he says, may be ex-
pected when the spiders shorten the last
thread by which their webs are suspended;
fair weather when they lengthen them /;
and the duration of either by the degree
of contraction or expansion observable.
When swallows sweep near the ground,
uttering plaintive cries, rain is at hand !;
when they mount up, fly from side to
side, and play together, fine weather will
follow. When a single magpie leaves its
nest in the spring it is a sign of rain, but
the reverse is the case when two parent
birds leave it in company. Rain is near
when the peacocks utter frequent cries,
when parrots chatter more than usual,
and when geese are uneasy.

The Earl Of RO3ebery was on the bench
yesterday, a Scottish Earl Of an old and
respectable family, in politics q Liberal,
and, as it is presumed, the atfianced OF a
Now York lady. He was well dressed in
the English style, with a brown o~vcrcoat
and very little iewelry for II Of his
character, with good color, rlddy brown
hair, and an open, %inquiring, and in
genuous expression of countenance. The
Earl of Roseberry watched the trial on a
very poor day, as the ladies' and the de-
PENDANT had absconded OF relapsed, and
only the apostle Tilton and one of
Beecher's sons adorned the perspective.
The Earl of Caithness, fellow Liberal
with Rosebery, has also attended this
trial for a part of the day.
One son of Ham, the first of the trial
season, appeared in court to-day, clean
as a pin, radiant in white linen, and

Patrick Fitzpatrick, an employee of n
firm OF flour dealers in Lowell, Mass,
carried a barrel of flour, weighing alto
gether over two hundred and twelve
pounds, on his back from the Framing
ham freight depot to the store of the firm
without stopping, the distance being
a mile. The barrel was fastened on his
back by a rope. Mr.. Fitzpatrick's
weight is about a hundred and sixty-five
pounds, and he seemed but little fatigued
when he arrived at the store, stating that
he would carry it back again at once for
a hundred dollars. He received the
flour and ten dollars additional as a re-
ward for the successful performances OF
the feat.

TUE yGHT WITH TIE LIME
10 ES.

Yesterday a rllmOr reached our city
notorious James boys had been invaded
by detectives on Sunday night, back OF
Kearney, in Clay county, and that a des-
perate fight had ensued. The report
gave rise to many surmises on the streets,
some doubts, and many predictions, yet
in the absence of facts all opinions ex-
pressed were drawn wildly. The arrival
of the train last night on the Hannibal
and ST. Joseph road at $50 brought a
contirmation of the story, yet nc particu-
lars. The attacking party, it is said,
were four detectives, who had learned
that the two boys, the James brothers,
were at home. On Sunday night they
visited the house, and in attempting to
gain ingress were met with opposition,
and a desperate fight ensued between the
inmates of the house and the detectives.
Quite a number Of shots were fired on
both sides. Two shots from the detect
ives took effect, one breaking the left
wrist of the mother of the boys, and an
other killing their h~alf-brother, whose
name we failed to learn. The boys, Jesse
and Frank, escaped, and have not been
seen since. The wounding of the mother
and the killing of the boy is greatly re-
GREETED, yet till full particulars of an
authentic nature are obtained, we are not
prepared to condemn. We hope the
affair is not as rough as report makes it.

derelict in their attire. Carpenter,
the foreman, is us attentive rs ever, but he
looks pale. Halstead, the next in respect

look of & Gen. Sherman who has slept
ont and caught Il cold. The young grain
broker on the back seat preserves his wei
haven, alert face a.; but his eyes, bri9h
and yigilant as they are, wear a little of
the haze of WEAKNESS. The old and sorry
juryman, popularly known rs Newman
NOggs, looks out pale and worn, like one
who had no living relations. The two
boys in the front seat, who answer to Ma
poleon's description of the Bourbons
that never learned anything o forgot
anything, fight off sleep as if it were a
~perpetually buzzing mosquito, impal-
pable. but threatening. The curly-hcaded
Juror with the black side whiskers mani

avoiding as much Of the evidence as pos
sible, felt obliged 20 listen out of sheer
WEAKNESS. On the whole, they looked
like twelve men pursuing knowledge

Buffalo Gra So.

This grass has made It's appearance
all over the country since The departure
Of tle grasshoppers. Divers opinions
are expressed regarding the manner i'll
which it came. but we believe the pre-
vailing theory Of those who ought to
know, is that the @rasshopperS brought
the seed with them from the prairies Of
the northwest, where it grows luXuri-
antly nearly che whole year around, and
is the food Of the elk, deer, buffalo and
other animals. 1t is nutritious, even
more 80 than our common blue grass,
ara grows much faster. 1t is of q pale
green color, and Of velvety touch.
Those who profess to know the nature
of the grass say it will remain with lis.
but there are those who believe it viii
not thrive in our soil. At all events it
is here now, and is the finest looking
grass growing on our commons.-LeX-
