TOPgCs or THE TIME.


In the Bechcr rilton itrisl, Mr.. Til
ton was on the stand several days, and
was the most interesting, sturdy and elo-
quent witness ever known. The lawyers
in the case felt that they had a foeman
worthy Of their steel, and the sparring
between the witness and his opponents Of
the legal fraternity was as tremendous
and exciting as a Spanish bull fight.
ONE great. sdyantage will be found in
the cold weather the coming sesson. Ice,
that cook us in the summer days in the
form Of nice beverages, will be cheap.
Farmers have laid in large quantities,
and. the ice merchants in the cities will
have to cell at reasonable price, as al
most every one who uses ice largely has
laid in plentiful crop.
The editors Of the indianapolis papers
are sentimental and courteous class Of
gentlemen. One Of the Aforesaid s,iitou
calls hes contemporary "red-hcaded
beer-tub," and the contemporary rctorts
by saying that, when II comes to mere
matter Of taste, he would Sooner be a
bcertub than a walking whisky-barrel
by day and rolling feeline barrel Of
whisky by night" All OF which is 80
very nice, that one could almost even
Wish he were an indianapolis editor.
y t1sm great Hoosac tunnel has been
tried, and not found wanting. The ex-
pertinent is regarded as no longer an ex.
pertinent, but fact. The first train has
passed Through, carrying a hundred
passengers directly connected with or
interested in the eaterprise, and occupied
thirty-fve minutes IN passing under the
mountain. The tunnel, however, will
not he opened for business for some
months, as there is more work To he
done on the arch TO protect the track
from falling rocks.
Con- WEATHER. This has been the
universal topic for the past few weeks
All over the world the weather has been
remarkably cold. In Paris, few days
since, the streets were one glare Of the
slickcst, slipperiest ice ever known in
that locality. Nobody could stand upon
il. A picture represents the streets de
serted by man and beast, and tho hacks
and other vehicles standing about in the
public squares, horscless and unnamed.
The same kind Of weather has marred
the English love Of ease and enjoyment;
and has disturbed bushes and commerce
generally. "Come, gentle spring"
Dos CARLOS has not acted as well to-
wsrd his cousin Alfonso as good cousin
should do. Instead Of laying down his
arms, and going home like a peaceable
subject, hsiA prAacing atound The cuun-
try with lot Of fellows in arms, aud do
ing all the damage he can to the good
ycupg man whe wants to be good young
king. would you believeit:-tbe
other day he actually set about cleaning
out King Alfonso's army, and killed,
wounded and took prisonefs, seven thsu-
sand of his cousins loyal soldiers.
