locked his wife in a room to scold her at three
dozen. In the morning she had said it was over q
dozen. Mr.. Fullerton questioned her very closely
on this point. An argument between the counsel
followed. ana at its close Mr.. Beach made some
rather bitter structures on 1.-The tutelage which the
witness had received during the recess" None of
the defendants counsel made any reply to this
charge. Miss Turner was asked to repeat what
occurred at the time when Mr.. Tlton is alleged to
have knocked her down. She gave the scene with
more than her former energy Of description. and
her manner of milncking the plaintiff by placing
her hands under the armholes Of an imaginary
vest and bowling her whole form as she initiated
his voice when be said to her gently, after knock
ing her down, "Why, Bessie, my child, how could
YOU trip and fall so 7" seemed to delight the
plaintiff quite as much as it amused the jury.
The yellow books containing the witness's testi
mony before the Plymouth Church Committee
were again brought into use just before the con-
clusion of the afternoon session Mr.. Fullerton
was provided with a copy. The witness was hand
ed one and Mr.. Porter held one. Mr.. Fullerton
wanted the witness to refer to a passage. Mr.
Porter seemed to think there was some trap in the
book for the witness and the two counsel for few
minutes stood by the witness telling her TO read
different passages. The witness however, obeyed
neither, but persisted in spite of Mr.. Beach's
earnest protest in reading half dozen Other most
damaging statements against the plaintiff. She
did this with composure SO perfect as to make it
impossible for her hearers TO determine whether or
not she had mistaken the passages asked for. The
comparison of the testimony finally resulted in
some apparent discrepancies between the wit
nesss evidence before the Committee and that given
in court on Friday. This she quietly explained
by saving again, 81 was mistaken As she did in
three or four similar cases on Monday.
Conversation in court and out of it was almost
wholly in reference to the bearing of the witness.
One Of the plaintiffs counsel pronounced the most
positive opinion as to her merits by saying to a
friend, Isn't she Splendid All illusions to her
were not as complimentary, but she was almost
the sole topic of conversation.

THE LOUISIANA RESOLVE.

The resolve passed by the Senate in re-
lai;on to Louisiana approves the course
of the President in protecting the govern
men, of which Kellogg is the Executive,
and the people of that State against do
mestic violence, and in enforcing the laws
of the United State in that State. This is
simple Justice to the President. who under
the greatest difficulty and embarrassment
has done precisely what the resolve credits
him with doing. So palpable was the duty
Of expressing such approval of the Presi-
dents action, that all the Independent SEN
ators except Booth and Hamilton voted for
the resolution, although various and cum
ming traps were set by the democrats to
prevent them endorsing the President.
The first resolve introduced was by Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen. Afterwards substl-
tute was introduced as an amendment by
Senator Anthony, and the latter was the
resolve adopted, the full text of which is
as follows:
hcSOlNGu. tuC aStiNh va shS
dent in protecting the Government IN
Louisiana of which VIM. 2. Kellogg is the
Executive, and the people of that State
against domestic violence, and in eniorc-
ing the laws of the United States in that
State, is approved.
This action gives satisfaction TO repubii-
cans of all shades, from Morton who con-
tended strenuously for the admission OF
Pinchback as Senator from Louisiana, to
Christiancy who was recently claimed as
democrat because of his Louisiana speech.
Without this endorsement the President
would have had reason to complain OF
Congress, which left him to carry the
burden of maintaining order in Louisiana
and respect for the laws of the United
States after he had asked repeatedly to be
relieved from the task.

A DisEusted Grocer

Detroit Free Press.I
The other day a Michigan avenue
grocer hung out a sign of Strawberries. "
A man came along and told him that.
the sign didn't express or explain any.
thing, and the grocer put on the words
"for sale" Pretty soon q pedestrian
halted and said that the sign didn't say
where the strawberries were for sale
whether there or up town. The grocer
put up a new sign, bearing the words
Strawberries for sale here and thought
he had triumphed. 1t wasn't an hour
before a man came along, halted and
looked all over the side of the building.
What are you looking at2' asked the
grocer. Your sign says that you have
strawberries for sale here" replied the
man, 'but I've looked all over and
around it and | can't see one" They
are in the store" growled the grocer.
well, why don't you say so on your
sign2' returned the man. The grocer
pulled it down in disgust, saying that
be didn't care two cents whether be sold
a strawberry or not.
