E1amired by Mr.. Peckham-wiu the Ex.Boss

Tho statement OF facts called "Twcod's
Con'"ssion." which was recently submitted by
john u. Townsend to Attorney General Fair
child, was sent by that officer last week to Mr..
wheeler II. Pockham for his examination. Mr.
Perkham represented the Attorney General in
the trial Of the suits against Mr.. Tweed. and is
the working counsel for the prosecution in tho
suits against Peter i. Swecny. His familiarity
with tho Ring" suits has induced the Attor-
General to got his opinion as TO the value
OF the evidence which Mr.. Townsend SAYS that
Mr.. Tweed can give. before he consents to the
release Of the prisoner. The Attorney General
also wishes 10 obtain Corporation Whitney's
opinion as TO Mr.. Twecds ability to furnish
facts that Will defeat certain claims against the
city.
On Friday Mr.. Pcekham and the Corporation
Counsel spent several hours in Mr.. Twecd's
parlor in the Ludlow street Jail. The cx-Boss
was closely questioned. and Mr. Townsend's
statement Of the Information which Mr. Tweed
can give was read, and the papers and vouchers
by which its truth is to be proved were carc-
fully examined. The Corporation Counsel's
examination was confined to the proofs

Narrowing Wheat.

Secretary Stratton, of the Colorado
board of Agriculture, in his report to
Governor Routt, among other interest
ing information has the following in re-
lation to narrowing wheat:
The practice Of narrowing winter
wheat in the spring of the year, has OBJ
;tained Ito, some extent in the. western
states; and reasoning from. analogy, NE,
p. N: Human, 6f Builder county-a
member Of the board having a. field Of
wheat which failed to have good stand,
and whose general outlook was every
way inferior to the balance Of his wheat,
decided to harrow the field and note the
results. The harrow was faithfully ap-
piled when the young wheat was four to
six inches high. Many of Mr.. Humans
neighbors, who witnessed the operation,
were very free to express their opinion
that the wheat would be ruined. Such,
however, was not the case, as Mr.. Hin
man informed me that imediately after
the narrowing, the wheat took on a bet
: tef LODI, and commenced growing rap
idly; md at harvest time the field so
treated gave the largest yield. -

The Romantic Origin Of the AVA

The story is familiar one to the
Japanese, and connects the first daimio
of the house with the career of the fam
Gus Hideyoshs. That eminent warrior
and ruler Of the,sixteenth century, the
only man in thu. annals of Japan who
ever rose from plebeian station to the
position of srulerrof the empire, was a
pauperuand Yagrant in his youth.
While wandering. an unprotected child
in his native province, he was accus-
toned to sleep at night in the fields or
by the readsides..0n one occasion, ac-
corling to- the proper chronicle, he lodged
himself upon bridge in Okasaka, and
was roughly awakened by Kick from a
powerful and well-armed man, who de-
manded his nanle. My name is Saru-
matse," he answered, "and this is the
highway. You have no right to disturb
me. The road is mine as much as yours.
Who are you?"tAaI am Koroku,' said
the other, ~ know Koroku of Owaai, y
retorted Sarumatsu (such was Takes

Koroku, who was one Of the most:loted
highwaymen of~his time, instead $of
resentingg Jhe lad 8 audacity, was amused
at his spirit, and took him under
his sspr0tectioh, and in many
ways befriended him, in return for
which, when he attained the supreme

Taking q Likeness Under Difficulties

Paris Cores. Of the Hartford Times
Gambetta is the most OF a Jehu that
holds reign in France to-day. During
the past two weeks, when everything
that he has to do with has been in the
utmost turmoil, that man has been I" sit
ting for BUST or rather the sculptor
has been sitting for it, while Gambetta
was flying about his Office, reading let
tiers and writing them, debating to'three
scribes at once, receiving his agents from
all over France, hearing their reports,
encouraging and discotraging, comment
ing upon them and instructing the agents,
receiving visitors, and talking with gov
eminent officials and lawyers. It was
one of the most amusing sights Of all
Paris, to sit in the private office, per
NIT for which, under pretence Of some
business or other, was comparatively
easy to obtain, and watch that helpless
artist maneuver. When the great states
mans back was toward him he went for

ed, for the nose; when full front face
was turned upon him he had the most
hopeless task of all. Every one knows
what Frenchman's face isunder excite
ment, all manner of extraordinary con-
tortions imaginable; and the poor fellow
sometimes threw down his steel with the
most woe-begone idiotic stare that lean,
lank, cadaverous, long-haired, grizzled-
bearded, large-eyed, half-starved dog of
a sculptor could put on, till it verify
seemed as though the poor fellow, if he
had had thing on his stomach, would
have been absolutely seasick in the
whirling and heaving that he was forced
to submit to. From present appearances,
however, the bust will be complete
success, a picture true as life, of the
ruling spirit of France to-day, in his
Herz best nnsitinn Of intense animation.

An Odd Little Story Of Napoleon iii,

It was good many years ago, and all
Paris was 1aying about the exquisite
beauty and wonderful voice of a young
girl who had just left the Conservatory
to become not long after and continue to
this day one of the brightest ornaments
of the lyric stage. She was honored with
an imperial command to sing at the
Elysees, where she fascinated the EN-
peror, who, sending for her, favored her
with an audience in the presence of the
brilliant assembly, praised her singing
and asked her in what way he could be
kof assistance to her. The girls only
thought was that this interview, which
so distinguished her, was SO soon to come
to an end, and stammeringly and with
downcast eyes, she said, "Sire, there is
one thing you could do for me, but to
ask it of you would be too presump-
tuous" The Emperor encouraged her.
Come, what can do to, serve your"
he repeated. "Sire," said she, " talk to
me some more" The Emperor never
was brilliant conversationalist, and on
this occasion had been rather less elegant
and witty than usual. Not understand
ing that she was III earnest, he took it
into his head that the brilliant young
prima donna was quizzing him, and
thereafter she was always in his bad

not to be moved. Jackson disappeared,
and shortly returned, announcing that
the guests room was ready. The two

light was shining. There'syour room,
