sequently, followed on with it until had taken

A Cross Examination.

Lawyers often so perplex witness by
the cross examination that the bothered
man resolves that he will never 60 on
the witness stand again, if he can help it.
But sometimes the lawyer becomes the
victim. For instance
Mr.. Dallas, once Vice-President of the
United States, while practising law,
was counsel i'm case in Philadelphia,
and Mr.. Scheerer, noted politician,
was called i'm as witness. The following
questions were put by Mr.. Dallas:
"Mr. Scheerer, were you in Harrisburg
last JuneT'
"Last June, did you say, Mr.. Dallas? p
Yes, last June; don't repeat my
question, but answer it."
After some minutes of study, the
answer came:
"No, Mr.. Dallas, was not in Harris
burg last June"
"Were you in Harrisburg last July
Here he reflected again, and slowly
said, "No, Mr.. Dallas, l was not in Har
risburg in july"
"Were you there in August, Mr.
ScheererW
The witness again meditated, and said
"No, Mr.. Dallas, l was not there il
August"
"Were you there in September Y
Here Mr.. Scheerer reflected longe
than before, and replied, "No, Mr.
Dallas, / was not in Harrisburg in Sep
tember."
Mr.. Dallas became tired of this barrei
result, and, raising his voice, said, Mr.
Scheerer, will you tell the court whel
you were in Harrisburgw
"Mr. Dallas" said Mr.. Scheerer, I"
never was in Harrisburg in my life."

A Mystery Explained.

In the year of 1S49, Mr.. Harmon
James, q citizen of New Orleans, caught
the gold fever, and embarked on a ship
for the Pacific coast. He had wife and
two children, for whom he had made am
ple provisions till he could be heard from
in his new home. The vessel he sailed OH
was never heard from after leaving port,
and after years of waiting, his family
gave him up for lost. His wife declined
several eligible offers of marriage, and re-
mained true to her husband. The chill
dren are grown, and they are still living
in New Orleans. A part of Mr.. Jones'
history is told i'm the following paragraph
from letter received recently by Mr..
Cornelius Young, from sister in New
Orleans. The writer says:
The most remarkable piece of news we
have heard for long time is that Mr..
Harmon Jones is alive on an island in
