In the memorial, as probably, in the present con.

desrous OF throwing more light than IL could
possibly avoid on the subject Of It's policy on the

ONE OF THE sADDEsT INCIDENTS.

u pm OdldAg.
Mrs. MUultOn, whatever the value Of her
evidence, rs to which We say nothing,
proved to be model witness. Mr.. MOul-
ton won praise by his GOODNESS, selfpOses-
sion, precision, and good tone; but Mrs.
MOulton was "high tOneder man" than he.
Her modest manner and her clear head were
exceptionally admirable, and in crOss-eX-
animation she was a match even for so
eminent lawyer as Mr.. Evarts. How she
would have come of if Mr.. Fullerton had
been on the other side is, possibly, not so
certain. Bat her crOss-eXaminatiOn brought
out a painful fact. She was asked if
she had ever kissed MIR. Beecher.
With perfect frankness, she said
that she once had done so. As he lay upon
her sofa, overwhelmed with wOe-frOm
whatever cause she, who had been giving
him some good counsel, thinking that per-
haps she might never see him again, with
an impulse Of WOmanly tenderness that
must raise her in the estimation Of every
man, bent over and kissed him on the fore
head. II was most WOmanly done, and is
TO her eternal honor. But how came it
about that the counsel for the defense knew
Of this gracious act, which it seems that
the harsh duties Of theirprOfessiOn required
them to subject TO miscOnstruCtiOn? She
did not tel them, and Ee Eaay be sure that
her husband, 10 whom she mentioned it a.
soon afterward as she saw him, did not re-
veal it. There was but one other person
present, the man who had told this woman,
in his peculiar phraSeolOgy, that she was
ai.yays ike "a slice Of the day of judg-
ment," bur to whom she then behaved like
a consoIing angel. II he put that fact into
the hands Of his counsel TO be used as a
weapon against her, he will find that he
himself had the sword by the blade. This
is one OF the saddest incidents of this sad
affair.

DHOWNED OUT BY HIS OWN WELL.
Knoxville Press and Herald.

In the region Of Lost Greek, between
New Market and Strawberry Plains, the
waters of which became damned up dur
ing the late floods, and have not since
fallen, there lives a thrifty farmer who,
some years ago, selected for his home
handsome tract Of land lying in the form Of
a large basin or amphitheatre, on the gen.
tie slope Of which be built his house and
surrounded it with barns, cOOps, gardens,
etc. In close proximity he dug a well,
there being no running stream on the
place. And now the pleasant home is
desOlate, the chicken rOOst floats the
sport Of the winds and weary waste Of
waters surrounds and covers the grounds
and flow in and out Of the doors of the
dwelling, and this widespread ruin is the
result Of a strange freak Of the well the
farmer dug some time since. During the
heavy rains, and whilst so much water was
standing on the ground, the we'll began to
rise rapidly and soon water commenced
pouring pOuTth from its mouth with the
force of a mill race and has continued TO
do so ever since, so that the basin in which
the buildings stand is now a lake. As to
where the water comes from is a mOOted
question, but the most plausible theory is
that Lost creek IS making the old well
available for a new outlet. The water is
on the railroad track in the vicinity, in
some places two feet deep. The phenOm-
enOn is certainly strange one, and excites
general interest

THE PHILosoPHY OF FISHING.

FaVefteVlle Ou-'ENtEs
If Won want TO forget the world and its
cares, 90 a-tishing. Man is born game
ster. or To put it mildly, a Spectator. As
a boy he CANDLES for marbles, or RISKS his
ton. or gives his tender mind to the mys-
teries Of "swOPping." As man Of bus
mess he specuIates on a grander scale,
that's all. Well, fishing is lottery.
There is a glorious uncertainty about it
that appeals to the gambling instinct OF
humanity. The blanks are many, the
prizes comparatively few, and tho .pastime
has the rare merit Of being ST once limo
cent and exciting. The angler, while
awaiting tho result Of his underwater in
yestments, loses sight Of all his graver ven
lures. No thought Of the sharks, or gudg-
cons. or suckers Of the mart, crosses bis
mind as he sits watching his hOat-the 81
lent monitor hat keeps him in cOmmuni-
cation with the fishy world over which it
is susueued. His whole mind is cOncen-
trated upon that cork. His rod and line
are. simply artificial combinations Of his
nervous system. A bite thrills every
fibre Of his frame and accelerates the clrcu-
lation Of his blood. Lay your finger gent
" on an anglers pulse when engaged in
his vocal fOn-in his abstraction he will be
unconscious Of your tOucb-and the il
slant the float hobs you vii, feel the artery
bound. In short, there is nothing that so
completely enchains and enthralls all the
Observing faculties as fishing. There is
one objection to the sport, however: it
sometimes, for example, when 4 "rOuser'
SNAPS the line at the critical moment, leads
TO the use Of unhallOwed inteTjectiOns.-
We have known very exemplary persons
to ventilate their vsXatiOn in volley Of
profane eSpietlyes on such occasions. Let
Us hope that when the ministering spirit
reports cases of this nature in Heavens
chancery, the recording angel puts the
calculations in the same category with Y y
Gle TOby's oa.E, and wipes them out with
a sYmpathiziug tear. We are quite sure
he does IF be has ever been a-tishing, Tor
to lose a noble trout, or cat, or red-horse,
after he is fairly hooked, is enough to pro-
woke even an angel.

In the list OF cOunterfeiters Of his gang
arrested is one Methodist preacher by the
name Of Corn. He was a thrifty parSOn,
who eked out his ministerial salary by
keeping q country store, where he also dealt
in counterfeit coin. His congregation de-
cline to stand by him in his present
troubles. and, although he is upon the rag
ged edge Of despair since his arrest, he does
not crntemplate the publication Of any
statements explaining the cruel cOmblna-
ton of circumstances that have cOnspired
to put this special agent Of the Lord for
the salvation Of souls in the attitude Of a
shower Of the queer. A hOtel-keeper by the
name Of Burt Anderson is also among the
prominent ones on the list. There are
three or four men who have not yet been
arrested. but they are so surrounded that
their capture is only a question Of time.
Fears are entertained for the safety Of
Special Agent COnant, who has been
among the cOunterfeiters for the past three
months, working up the case. He was
sent out alone, to bring in the most prOmi-
nent counterfeiter, next to Jack Mullen.
Conant was to pursuade this cOunterfeiter
to come into some rendezvous, where the
deputies could pOunce upon him. No
word has been since heard from COnant,
and fears are entertained that he may have
been fouly dealt with. He is not so far
from means Of communication that he
could not find some way of sending in a
message. He left Arlington on Friday
last, and has not been since heard from.
The people in that section Of country
are greatly rejoiced over these arrests. The
United States District Attorney for the
Western District of Virginia, W. S. Curly,
says that this raid upon the cOuDterfeiters
of that locality is worth $4,000 to that
section of country, at least. a species Of
terrorism has been for a long time exer-
cised over the law-abiding citizens, and
these arrests afford them immeasUrable re-
