hibit of the prosperous condition of the

Sr. LOUIS, Feb. l9.-The closing argu-
ments in the Babcock trial were commen-
ced this morning in the United States Cir.
cult Court, by Jsmee D. Broadhead, of the
counsel for the government. The court
room was crowded, and the outer doors
kept locked all the morning.
After speaking Of the attention which
the jury had given during the ten days pre-
ceding, and his belief that the jurors meant
to do their duty, Colonel Broadhead said:
"The government I represent y not the
congr.ss, the president, or the judiciary,
but the law Of the land the strict enforce.
ment Of the law IL vital to national exis-
tence. 1t is for you simply to enquire If
the law has been violated By this defendant.
and If 1t has, 1t 10 for you TO take cogni-
zance Of It, and the punishment ID In your
hands.
"The Grand Jury found an indictment
against this man, but you are to pass on
the evidence submitted to you, and If you
believe the defendant is guilty, you are not
to be Influenced by former good character.
Men ~ good a. he have fallen before
temptation, and conspiracy may exist BY
solemn agreement or BY tacit understand
ing, and one who connives at the purpose
of guilty combination, or who shields it,
is himself guilty in the eyes of the law"
Colonel Broadhead then reviewed At
great length the evidence, not conining
himself to the testimony for the Govern
msnt, but using a. he went along the let
ters and kilograms and witnesses Of the
defence. .
II will show you before get through,
gentlemen" he said, "that these tracks all
lead In the same direction, every one Of
them. There is not single one turned the
other way" ,
At nearly every point the Presidents de-
position was quoted and the construction
put upon 1t carried out the theory of the
prosecution. After reading the kilograms
between Joyce and Babcock about sue
cessor to Ford in 1878, Colonel Broadhead
said
It seems from the Presidents deposition
that. Babcock came to him to see what he
could do for Joyce as q candidate for the
vacancy. The President said, "No, let the
bondsmen Ford recommend somebody" }"
Bacdock telegraphed Joyce, "ses that
Ford's bondsmen recommend you."
Joyce understood that when he sent
back the message. An expression from the
President will serve everything, Joyce knew
Bahcock understood It. what could have
been meant other than that the conspiracy
was to go on, and then Joyce sent the nee
essary telegram recommend Mcguire, AMI
with one to Babcock In which he uses the
word "Mum."
The defence say that this meant that
Babcock was not to mention that Joyce had
been candidate, Can any man accept
this as sensible conclusion This MUM
means that there was something hidden and
secret understood between Joyce and defen-
dent, which they do not wish to have known.
They have introduced at this point In their
defence long series of letters which passed
between Joyce and Babcock, commenced
formerly, and then growing familiar, with
such addresses as my Dear Colonel," my
Dear Joyce" but these letters stop in 1873.

HIGH HASH TALK.-A dialogue occurred
at Lafayette-Avenue clearinghouse Sat-
urday afternoon between an effeminate,
stability dressed young man and the land
lady, which for ponderorIs rhetoric exceeds
anything OF similar nature that has seen
the ligut in some time. The landlady APP
peared at the front door in answer to the
bell, and was accosted by the young man as
follows:
elf you are manager Of THIS domicile /
wish to know il you could be persuaded to
provide me with apartments and proyender
during my soiourn in this city, which may
be Of two or three days. duration, and may
possibly extend through a greater pcriod.''
The mistress of the house, catching the
style and spirit Of the inquirer, responded
Unfortunately, great demand exists 1t
present, which so crowds the capacity OF my
apartments and the contents Of my larder,
that I cannot consclentiously provide the
accommodations you desire"
Evidently the young man had expected
to completely crush the landlady with his
command of the English language, but his
disappointment was plainly shown in the
look Of blank amazcment which he bestowed
upon her after hearing her reply. He was
not completely annihilated, however, Tor he
continued: "Provided you could, madam,
pray what amount Of money would you I'M
pose upon me for accommodating me:"
"Eight dollars week in advance" was
too suggestive, and as the young man backed
down the steps he simply said "Sood-day."

MrscEGENATIoN NOT LEGAL IN NORTH
CARoLINA.-A very interesting and novel
question arose in court Thursday, involving
the validity of marriage between negro,
Isaac Kennedy, and white woman named
Mag Dulin.
These parties lived in Charlotte, and were
citizens OF North Carolina, and in order to
eYade the statute Of this State which forbids
interYnarriages between whites and negroes
they went to South Carolina, where such
marriages are not prohibited, and We're
married at Rock Hill, under the forms Of
law in that State, and returned to North
Carolina. They were indicted here for for
nication and adultery, and set up this mar
rage as q defence.
His Honor Judge Schenck held that the
marriage was void as fraud upon the law
OF North Carolina, which was the LeI domi-
Gle, and governed the Charlotte "a.
Co Observer.

A curious calculation has been made in
the printing Office of Paris newspaper.
Assuming that good compositor handles
"a, 900 letters day, and that his hand moves
one foot with each letter in taking and set
ting the type, it will be seen that his hand
travels $4,000 feet, or nearly ten miles day,
and in the course OF a year, excluding Sum
days, travels fully the distance from Paris
to New York.
