Sam. wsIIer's Son or Brother.

About ten years ago, q young man OF
New York. Of good character. hired u
horse from q livery stable to ride out to
n little town about twenty miles distant.
Unfortunately. about half way out the
horse was taken i'll and died. The liv-
cry man sued him for the value OF tho
horse. representing that the horse had
been killed by fast riding. One OF the
young mans witnesses (rather green or
supposed to be. and who had a peculiar
way Of talking very low,) was called to
the box and questioned thus by tho
prosecutor "Are you acquainted with
the prisoner at the bar 2" "Y-a-a-s,"
livery slowly drawled out). "How
long have you been acquainted with
him ?" about three years" +" Well.
sir, please state to the court what
kind Of reputation he bears as regards
fast or slow riding On horseback"
"w.a.a.l. I suppose II he was riding
with u company of persons who rode
very fast. and ho did not want to be left
behind. he would ride fast, too. And
II he was riding with q company that
rode very slow. and he did not want to
10 ahead. alone. / suppose he would
ride slow. too" Judge (much snraged)
lyon seem very much inclined to
evade answering questions properly.
Now, sir. you have stated how the gen.
tleman rides In slow company. Now.
sir. l wish you to state how the gentle.
man rides when he rides alone"

These elections arc not regarded with

There are not even any close districts in
either OF tho States to call forth the
energy or u the enthusiasm Of the

cans still have an organization. and still
march pluckily to defeat at every cleo.
ton. In Alabama the party Is crushed

will be no election OF special interest

TEE wAsHIxorox MONUMENT.

The work on the Washington Monu-
msnt has begun in earnest. Tho ques-
ton OF foundation has absorbed much
time. The results Of the engineers in
vsstigations are to the effect. in brief
that the earth underneath the monument
10 now subjected to a pressure. or
weight. Of 4.sl0 tons per square foot OF
ground. also there has been some settle
ment already indicated by a slight in
~clinatien Of the shaft northwest, but
this is very slight. II is the opinion OF
the engineers that the soil is capable OF
sustaining no further weight safely. but
that the base can be so extended that
the shaft, when completed. will not give
. greater pressure than is now imposed.
This is the first work in hand. and the
most that will be accomplished this year.
This will be effected by q system OF un.
d~srpinning. or sinking an outer base
about the present base. extending eight
feet below and q certain distance under
the edge OF the present base, which will
give Just double the present area for the
monument ; rest upon. while to run
the shaft up to the height fIsd (b2o
feet. q. least twenty feet higher than any
other structure OF its kind on earth.
will not give a greater pressure per foot
than IL at present sustained. Congress
at the last session authorized the elpen'
diturs OF $500 OF the appropriation
for this purpose. and the Monument So
cisiy will soOn call in subscriptions.
The obslisk will be decorated with four
