ST. LOUIS Feb. 1O.-The witness Ernest said
Joyce once sent him to the Sub Treasury with
q package of $1,000 in small bills to get TWO
$500 bills. He brought them back, and joyce
put them in an envelope and told him to take
them across the street and put them in the
letter-box. Witness said he did SO. He was
then asked if he had observed the directions
on the letters. Before he could answer, the
defense interposed an objection, claiming that
the prosecution were now trying to show that
Babcock's name was on the letters and that
that evidence was not competent. A long
argument ensued.
After a long argument the evidence was
admitted. Mr.. Ernest was then recalled to
the stand. He testified:
Col Joyce handed me two envelopes, and
directed me to put them in the letter-box
which did: Joyce was watching me from
the window Of his Office. was facing him.
| could see him watching me. Saw the direc-
lions on the envelopes-one was directed to
W. 0. Avery, Washington, and the other to
Gen. o. E. Babcock, Washington, D. @.
Each of them had "personal in the left
hand corner. They were ordinary envelopes,
and had no printed matter on them or other
directions, except what have stated. They
had postage stamps on them. I never saw
Zen. Babcock before this trial begun.
Cross-examined by Mr.. S:orrslI have been
n this city since January 20. I can not tell
he month in which mailed the letters; it |
vas either February or March, 1875, but am
lot positive. think it was the latter part of
february or the early part Of March. I got
he money first from the Supervisors Office. |
)ol. Joyce stood in front of his desk when he
tut the money in the envelopes.
The envelopes were on the table when
landed him the two $500 bills. l then sat
own to his left. was watching him atten-
lively. He first took the two envelopes up,
ook the paper out Of one Of the envelopes
nd put bill in it. 1 did not see him put
be other $500 bill in the other envelope. i
m not positive that he did put it in.
Whether it was the letter directed to Bah
ock or Avery that he put the bill in, can
ot say.

The fact of man being good talker pre-
supposes q good audience, and good audi
ence is becoming daily more difficult to OBJ
tain. The reason may easily be understood
nv the reader of Boswell. johnson, we may
| fairly assume, was the best of all English
takers on record. Now, johnson was sur
rounded by little court Of familiar friends,
each of whom sustained wel.-understooo
character. A party consisting of johnson,
Burke, Reynolds, Goldsmith, .Garrick. and SC
on, was like a company of actors, each Of
whom understands the powers of all his col
leagues and is able to cooperate towards the
general effect.
They could understand each other; the
humorist was in no danger of being taken to
speak seriously, the man of special informa.
ton would not have his pet subject snatched
out of his mouth; the tender points of the
irritable man were thoroughly understood,
and his friends could avoid giving him un-
necessary offense. Or the other hand, there
was q sufficient amount of variety to save the
members OF the little circle from boring each
other too much. Some new conner was always
turning up who could introduce new topics
from the world of art, or politics, or litera-
ture, or travel.
And it is on the fortunate balance betwe en-
these two elements that the power of pro-
should be nucleus OF sufficiently intimate
friends who should form, so to speak, an Or
eanic body, instead of mere collection Of in
coherent items, and yet the circulation of its
constituent parts should be rapid enough to
preserve certain freshness OF interest. Now,
the difference between the society of to-day
and the society Of century ago is precisely
that all these little eddies have been swept
into the main stream.
The rush of the torrent is too furious to
allow of the formation of those pleasant little
coteries in which alone good conversation can
be originally fostered. There have been great
takers since the days of johnson; but men
like Mcintosh and Macauley seem to have
been rather lecturers than conversers, be-
cause they could not come into the same close
personal relation with the crowds who were
for time fellow occupants of the same room;
and others, who have had some talent of the
Theodore Hook kind, were rather actors in q
private theater. than, in any proper sense of
the word, takers.

consequence of this, the troops in the field

they should cease to furnish provisions, unless
they were soon paid.
II is also represented that the crowded hos

abandon ment, and that the condition of the
treasury is such, by reason Of want Of method
and order and Of the dishonesty Of the public
service, that extreme Encouragement prevails

THAT Conscience WoMAN.-A, conf.
dencc female has been working upon the
credit system Of the merchants in the
Second Ward lately in way they de.
spise. Mention has already been made
OF the operations Of this bold female at
Larkins' dry goods store and elsewhere,
but her latest venture is in quite new
line. The other day she visited our
friend Bob Sweeney at his foundry on
18th street and purchased some stove
plates for 81 IL, which she blandly re-
ques,ed should be charged to Mr.. Jacob
Landfried. Mr.. Sweeney supposed
that Othe woman was CONNECTED

part with the stove plates. Upon meet.
ing Mr.. Landiried a day or two after

the fact that he had been yictimizd. Mr..
Landfried had ordered no stove plates,
and knew nothing whatever about them.
