This time it was Mrs. AIexander's

said to sometimes "wet his whistle"
with liquid pizen,'' knowing the
doctors pecularities, venturing in cross
examining to first show him up bit
The result will be appreciated.
'What is your business 2" pompously
queried the counsel.
"My business is to do what little good

piled the doctor.
'But that doesn't answer my 9ues-

"How do you spend your time 7"
"Why, Squire, it takes about all my
time to do what 1 said, ''insisted the doc

"How do you go about your business p''
"That depends upon circumstances,
according to the nature of the case," ex-
planned the doctor; "for instance, if L
were going to begin on you, the first
thing should do would be to advise you
to sign the temperance pledge"
The court roared and the counsel, as if
convinced the doctor was pursuing a le-
gitimate and respectable vocation, pro-
ceeded with the regular cross-examina-
ton.

he was boy ten or twelve years ofage, he
was one day standing in Market square
with his grandfather, when four Irish
men came up, one of whom asked the
distance to Pawtucket. He was told by
the old gentleman that he was about
four miles. T" Well, faith,' said Pat, in
a mock tone of encouragement to his
three tired companions, that's not bad
at all only mile apiece for u.s."
" Whom do you want to see in Paw

" Be jabers,'' was the quick reply" "I

. White Horse Seen "Swirnming in
The Air"

LParkersburg Special to the Cincinnati Commercial. 4
An optical illusion or mirage was
seen by three or four farmers a few miles
from this city a few days since, the APP
pearance of which no one is able philos-
ophically to account for. The facts are
these: A gentleman while blowing in a
field with several Others, about seven p.
m, happened to glance toward the sky,
which was cloudless, and saw, apparently,
abouthalf a mile off in a westerly direc-
ton, an opaque substance, resembling a
white horse. with head, neck, limbs and
tail clearly defined, swimming the clear
atmosphere. 1t happened to be moving
its limbs as if engaged in swimming,
moving its head from side to side, always
ascending at an angle of about forty
five degrees. He rubbed his eyes to
convince himself that he was not dream
ing, and looked again; but there it still
was, still swimming and ascending in
ether. He called to the men, about one
hundred yards off, and told them to
look up, and tell him what they saw.
They declared they saw a white horse
swimming in the sky, and were badly
frightened. Our informant, neither
superstitious nor nervous, sat down and
watched the phantasm (if we may call
it) until it disappeared in space, always
going in the same direction, and moving
in the same manner. No n car ac-
count for the mirage, or illusion, except
upon the uneven state of the atmosphere.
Illusions of a different appearance have
been seen at different times, in the same
vicinity, frightening the superstitious,
and laughed at by the skeptical.

The Editor We all Know.

He was a tall man, with q sandy
colored head, and face in which solemn
Importance was blended with a look of
unfathomable profundity. The new
conner was introduced to Mr.. Pickwick
as Mr.. Pott, the editor of the Eatan-
Iswill Gazette. After a few preliminary
remarks, Nh. Pott turned round to Mr..
Pickwick, and said with solemnity:
"This contest excites great interest in
the metropolis, sirr"
al believe it does" said Mr.. Pick
wick.
"To which / have reason to know"
said Pott, looking towards Mr.. Perker
for corroboration-"to which I have
reason to know my article of last Satur-
day in some degree contributed"
"Not the least doubt of that" said
the little man.
"The press is a mighty engine, sir"
said Pott.
Mr.. Pickwick yielded his fullest as
sent to the proposition.
"But I trust, sir" said Pott, that I
have never abused the enormous power
1 WELD. ] trust, sir, that l have never
pUluGcu buC uOUIc luStl uIlCu1 WllCu 10
placed in my hands, against the sacred
bosom of private life, or the tender
breast of individual reputation. I trust,
sir, that I have devoted my energies to
to endeavors-humblethey may be, hum
BILE 1 know they are-to instil those prin-
ciples of-which are"
Here the editor of tine Eatanswill
Gazette, appearing to ramble, MI. Pick
wick came to his relief, and said:
Certainly"
"And what, sir" said Pott, "what,
sir, let me ask you as an impartial man,
is the state of the public mind in Lon
don with respect to my contest with the
Independent"
"Greatly excited. no doubt" inter
posed Mr. Perker, with a look of slyness
which was very likely accidental.
The contest" said Pott, shall be
prolonged so long as I have health and
strength, and that portion of talent with
which 1 am gifted. From that contest,
sir, although it may unsettle mems
minds and excite their feelings, and rem
der them incapable for the discharge of
the everyday duties of ordinary life
from that contest, sir, I will never
shrink till / have set my heel upon the

NEWS SUMMARY.
wssh,nesen.

The officials at the Indian Bureau say
the reports from the Indian campaign are
gross exaggerations SO far as they pretend
to relate to the Indians engaged in hostile
movements in the Northwest. They assert
that the people in Oregon, Idaho and WASH
ington Territory have been worked into a
grand scare over the rumors as to the num-
Der of Indians who are on the war-path.
Three officials say that there are not really
more than two hundred Indians now
turbulent, and in support of this statement
produce letters and kilograms from the
agents at the agencies from which the In
dams are reported in the press dispatches as
having become hostile, stating that these In
dams are peaceful and obedient. Such was
the dispatch received from the agent
at the reservation Of the Shoshones, in
Southern Idaho, which Indians have been
reported as joining the hostile Bannocks.
A like dispatch has been received in regard
to the Nez Perces farther north, who were
also reported as among the hostiles.

were no grounds for protesting the parish.
Witness admitted he had been indicted and
forfeited his bond; and afterward, at the
suggestion of District Attorney, made a
false affidavit, in order to have the bond re
stored.
The Potter committee gave Senator Kel-
logg a sitting Of five hours on July u.
he denied all and s'gular the statements of
Anderson and Weber as to conspiracies on
foot by, Louisiana Republican leaders to
manipulate the vote of Feliciana. The
$40, 900 borrowed by Kellogg in Chicago he
swore was for private and not for political
purposes, and he would furnish a full state
ment as TO how he procured it and how it
was used if wanted. He knew of no false
afidavits or protests use by the Return
ing Board, and knew of no money used or
offered by Republicans to c ntrol its action.
He had procured leave of absence for aSen-
ate employee to go to New Orleans
as a messenger, but denied he was sent TO
find and escort out of the way one Kelley,
supposed to have been the man who signed
Levissee's name to the second act of Elec.
toral certificates.
In New Orleans, on the 18th E. L. Weber
was recalled. He testified regarding oc.
currences in West Feliciana Parish. A
suit was pending against the witness for
nearly sixteen thousand dollars. He said
he didn't go back to the parish and settle
the affair, because his wife was afraid for him
to GO back.
Cross examined by Mr.. Cox in relation to
connection with the Legislature and his
absence rom the Packard Senate for ten
days. Witness stated his object was to elect
Pinchback United States Senator. Pinchback
paid witness 81 200 for expenses Witness
then explained his return later to the
Packard Senate, and submitted a portion OF
$4,000 of warrants on the State Treasury,
received from Twitchell as security OF good
faith to carry out the scheme of passing the
appropriation bill of $500, 600, out of which
the Insane Asylum claims for $4,000 held
by witness were to be paid. Witness
failing to have his claims ca he'd by
reason of the collapse of the Pack
ard Government, retained the
collaterals without being able to give any
very good reason why he should retain
them. Witness said nineteen Packard
Senators were interested in the half million
scheme, and Packard promised the bill
when passed should become a law. Witness
stated he was a member of an association in
the Senate in 1875 and 1876, which included
Gov. Antoine, I. C.. Anderson, Twitchell
Burchard and others, Tor corrupt purp ses
They were nineteen of Them. They received
$50, 900 for passing the levee bill, aud $40,
900 for passing the State House bill. Each
member of the association received 2,00(
of the money. Twitchell was President ant
T. C. Anderson Treasurer of the associa
ton.
