The NAL practice case was closed
on Saturday afternoon and the jury
returned a verdict for the defendant
at six o'clock Sunday afternoon. A
motion for new trial was made by
the plaintiff. A singular feature OF
this case is, that although three
weeks were consumed in the hearing
OF the testimony, Witnesses, it Is
alleged, now turn up who will testify
that Il gallon OF blood was lost &C the
zine OF the surgical oper1<Ion, and
that the ligaments controIjng the
motion OF the humurus were cut
through. Senator Reeve, who con-
Quoted the case for the plaintiff
claims that he was engaged as assoc

nothing of the merits of the case,
except as it was developed in the
examination OF witnesses, and that

mony, as thatreferred to, was not

People who have had experience will
agree with me that there is no position
more trying than that of a woman " no
keeps boarders for living, or for com.
pany, as some of them hypocritically de-
clare.
There is the boarder who wants to
sleep on Il hard mattress. and the one
whom nothing but a feather bed will sat-
isfy; the one who wants his steak just
warmed through, and the one who wants
his all fried up to rags; the one who
must have butter instead of lard in his
piecrusi, and who will have oatmeal
mush for his breakfast. and the one who
declares that /" 1t does him no more good
to eat it than to lie on his back and have
the moon shine down his throat"
had all these varieties and more at
my house at Oakwood. when young Roy

And he was handsome. Much as I
have disliked him since. there was no
dispuling the beauty Of that wax like
face, with its large, long-lashed eyes,
that changed from gray to yioleta color
coming and going like girls; sweet,
Byronic mouth, shaded by an elegant
amber mustache, and, strange to say, his
hair was quite black, which, in this tall
fair youth, presented quite a striking
combination.
He was the only young man in the
house at that time, and he ALT like
bombshell among our quiet party.
The only eligible single gentle
man hitherto among us was Mr.. Geasly,
a widower, ork-packer, and reported

own porkers; but for all that he was

Angie was young widow, pretty and
shallow. yet with sort of charming
sprightliness about her that made you
like her, in spite of her nonsense and
frippery.
Then there was Mrs. Yetherby, very
fat lady, with very lean income, whose
husband travelled most of the year and,
after you grew acquainted with her Pc
culiar pomposiiy, you did not wonder he
had propensity to journey.
Then there was Uncle Dorn's daugh-

and who evidently considered herself the
one yirtuous woman in the world, as she
had a spiteful word for every one, espec-
tally young Emily Mills.
