Trapping q Witness.

It is Of Warren, the author of "Ten
Thousand Year." that this sharp prac-
tice in the examination OF man accused
OF swearing falsely in will case is re-
lated. 1t shows great dramatic power
unconsciously exhibited in his daily bust
ness:
The prisoner being arraigned and the
formalities gone through with, the pro.
secutor placing his thumb over the seal
held up the will and demanded of the
prisoner whether he had seen the testator
sign that instrument, to which he prompt
~ answered he had.
"And did you sign it at his request as
subscribing witness2''
II did"
"Wss it sealed with red or black wax9''
"With red wax"
Did you see him seal it with red wax. u
II did"
"Where was the tcstator when he signed
and sealed this will?'
"In his bed"
"Pray how long a piece of wax did he
use7"
"About three or four inches.'
"Who gave the testator this piece Of
wax2"
II did"
"Where did you get it?"
"From the drawer in his desk.''
"How did he light the piece of waxg''
"With CANDLE"
"Where did the piece of candle come
rom2"
II got it out of cupt oard in his room. 81
"How long was that piece of candle7''
'Perhaps four or five inches long,"
"Who litit."
II lit it,"
"What with2"
"With a match"
"Where did you get the match9''
"On the mantel shelf in his room."
"You didY"
II did,"
Here Warren paused, and fixing his
large blue eyes upon the prisoner he held
the paper above his head, his thumb still
resting upon the seal, and IN solemn,
measured tone, said:
"Now, slr, upon your solemn oath, you
saw the testator sign that will he signed
it in his bed; at bis request you signed il
as subscribing witness; you saw him
seal it; it was with red wax that he
sealed it; a piece of two, three or fou,
inches long; he lit that wax with piece

Pet Dogs.

The New York Home Journal, referring
to the fashion Of making pets of dogs
says: 1.-THE amount of luxurious tender
ness that Ii bestowed on these worthless
creatures by some of our wealthy citizens
is so astonishing as to be almost unbe-
iievable. It is not at all uncommon to
see carriage, with two liveried men up
on the box, driving through the park up

The En.press Euaente's Suit against the
French G0Uernnsent.
London Times.I
The Paris tribunal has given judgment on
the long pending and intricate dispute be-
tween the prince imperial and the state. Il
holds that the prince is not bound to restore
in kind certain articles of furniture which
the civil list was bound to keep in good
condition, but will be free from liability on
this head on paying over 706, ,OOOf. The
Chinese museum at Fontanebleau is declared
the property of the state, some of the objects
having been presented by the army of the
empress. This was an set of courtesy, q
homage to the head of the state in the per-
son of the empress, and it is not shown that
any articles we're purchased by her until tho
fact OF their being placed in palace luade
them national property. The same ruling
applies to the armory at Pierrefonds. The
state reiinquishes its claim to certain pic
lures placed in the Louvre without anv in
tention of making them public property, and
and agrees TO restore them; but other public
pictures possessed by the emperor on his &C
cession, and not thus expressly reserved
passed to the state on the principles of de-
volution. As to the Sevres, Beauvals aud
the Gobelina, the full value of the surplus
raw material found therein upon their re-
sumption by the state is to be paid to the
plaintiff. such manufactured articles
moreover, as were not deposited for the pu1-
pose of decoration, or as models, are to *
handed over to the claimant. As to p.ivate
furniture the value is to be paid to the plain
tiff. minus per cent, per annum for de.
probation; but the state is not responsible
for partial loss caused by war or circum
stances beyond its control. The princes
claim for repayment of the quota given BY
the civil list toward the restoration Of Pier
refonds is rejected, on the ground that tina,
castle is public property. So, too, with regard
to the snm devoted by the emperor to altera

Height and Light In tho Sick Room.

A recent writer gives the following SEN
sible suggestions on this subject:
Each person in room should be sup
piled with 5000 cubic feet of air per
hour; and this should be done, where
possible, without creating pcrceptible
draft, for the nervous irritation induced
by drafts is liable to produce internal in
tlamations.
The Temperature of the sick room
should be kept at a uniform height, the
best average being from 65 to 20 degrees
Fab, except for infants or very old peo-
pie, who require temperature from IS
to 80 degrees Fab; and for these it is
especially important to guard against
changes, and to keep it as uniform as
possible. All cases of fever require a
temperature lower than the average, as
from so to 60 degrees F., to assist In re-
ducing the high temperature of the body
but when the fever subsidies, and there is
debility remaining, the temperature
should be raised somewhat above the
average.
As patient can bear greater degree
of cold when in bed than when out Of it,
convalescents from severe disease, fevera
especially, should have the temperature
OF their rooms higher than that main
tanned during the height of the attack
Diseases of the air passages, in Group and
diphtheria, require a high temperature
$50 degrees to IS degrees Fahrenheit) and
a moist atmosphere. The best method fol
heating the sick room is by the open
CRATE fire. The sick room should not be
darkened by blinds, except where is 6
disease of the eyes with photophobia, o,
when the patient is very restless and can.
not sleep; then strong light must be ex.
cluded. Otherwise the sunlight should
be allowed to enter and act chemically ir
decomposing the noxious gasses, and thus
purify the air. OF course it is not advis
able to pi.ce. the patient under a strong
uncomfortable glare Of sunlight, nor il
summer to allow the suns rays to shine
into the room and raise the temperatur,
too high. Artificial light has no usefu
effect but does harm by burning NJ
oxygen.

A Little Girls Brave Deed.

A whole band of robbers was very
neatly trapped IN La Carolina, Spain, by
the bravery of girl of thirteen, who has
become the heroine Of the neighborhood.
She is the daughter of farmer named
Fueras, and is called Caram1ta. The
family consists of the husband an ! wife
and daughter. The farmer sold some
cattle for 81, 500, and had the money in
bis house. A hand Of robbers knew of
the sale and the money, and laid their
plans to rob the house. After the farmer
had gone out with his work. people, a
couple of strangers approached the house
"a man travel l-stained, supporting a
woman who seemed unable to walk any
further. The man explained to the
farmers wife that he was geing to dis
tant village with his wife, and she being
i'll, had broken down on the way. He
asked permission for the sick woman to
enter the house and rest while he went
find conveyance to enable them to
continue their journey. Permission was
granted, the woman taken in, and the
man left. The sick woman partook Of
some refreshments, and the mother and
daughter went on with their work. Verv
soon Caramita discovered that their guest
had on pair Of pantaloons, under the
gown. She communicated the fact to
her mother, unobserved by the visitor,
and the two manao ed quickly to slip into
another room, close and lock the door.
The visitor, left alone and knowing that
his character had been discovered, threw
off his disguise, and ordered the woman to
open the door or die. The door was not
opened, and the robber began to cut
through it with large knife. At length
he hacked hole big enough for his body,
and he began to crawl through it. The
woman tainted and fell on the floor. The
brave girl seized her fathers gun, which
was in the room, heavily charged with
buckshot, placed the muzzle against the
side of the man, now half way through
the hole, and unable quickly to get either
backward or forward, and pulled the
trigger. There was an instantly dead
man and loud report. The other robber
lurking IN the heighborhood heard the
shot and returned to the house to find his
comrades dead body plugging the hole
IN the door and hanging there. Before
he could remove the body, which was
held in the opening by the girl, and en-
ter the room where the mother and
daughter were, the farmer came with a
force sufficient to capture the other rob-
Der. Then they sent for some police to
take charge of the living robber and the
corpse. On the person Of the dead robber
the police found two pistols, a poniard
and whistle. The whistle was treasure
now, as there were doubtless more rob-
bers within its call. The police sounded
the whistle, and concealed themselves in
the house to await results. The shrill call
brought four more men into the house,
where they were Gagged and ironed, and
all five were marched to Jail in good order,
and the dead robber was buried. Little,
black-eyea Caramita saved her own and
her mothers life and her fathers mopev,
made six robbers fewer in Spain and her
self the heroine of La Carolina.

etc., in the Tulleries as have been discovered
the state agrees to restore. The claim of
the state to the reimbursement Of the civil
list for September, 1870, minus the propor-
ton OF the first four days, is rejected, the
established principle being that the monthly
payments to the sovereign can not be frac
tloned IN consideration Of his not reionino
the entire month. Neither side having sus,
tanned its claim, two thirds of the costs are
to be paid by the prince, and one-third by
the state. -

A Yorkshire AnecdOto

Some years ago MIR. Peckham, gentle
man well known and remembered by
many of the tradesmen of Yorkshire, was
staying at the Unicorn Hotel, Ripon, for
the night, and, after completing his busi-
ness in the quiet and respectable old CITY,
was enjoying cigar and glass with
few of the tradesmen who did business
with him. Amongst other things the
conversation turned upon the subject of
holding converse with the lower animals,
Mr.. Pcckham affirming that the thing
was no impossibility, as he himself was
able to hold converse with several of diff
ferent species. While in the act of con-
versation, an old man with donkey and
cart, partly laden with pots, drove into
the yard, and being seen by the company,
Mr.. Pcckham offered to bet any gentle
man present half-a-dozen Of champagne
that he could make the donkey under
stand what te should say to it. The bet
being accepted. the party turne: out en-
.aasse. MIR. Peckham asked and obtained
leave for moments conversation with
the donkey, and handing the owner half
a crown for the favor, put his mouth
quite close to the donkcy's ear,and doubt
less covering the act with the smoke
from his cigar, unot'servedly dropped the
ash from his cigar in the poor things
car. The sentence uttered was of course
inaudible, but the donkey instanly began
to plunge, and its owner being quite
amazed and seemingly powerless, the cart
was eventually overturned and most of the
pots broken. The disaster caused no lit
tie amusement to the company at the ex-
pensc OF the poor fellow, who demsnded
pay for the damage done, which request
Mr.. Peckham declined to accedc to, and
| with his friends returned to the inn to
enjoy his wine. The hawkcr was left
swearing and threatening 10 summon Mr..
Peckham before the mayor in the morn
ing, which threat he carried into effect
The case, on being stated, caused consid-
cradle amusement, and eventually his
worship suggested that MI. Peckham
should make the poor man some recon-
pense, and he would dismiss the case.
Mr.. Peckham assented. and thanked his
worship kindly, stating his regret that
the matter had turned out so unfortunate
" for the poor man. His worship desired
him to inform the court what were the
words he uttered to the donkey; but Mr..
Peckam at first declined, on eccount of
there being danger of giving offence to
his worship, who goodhumoredly replied
that there was no danger at all, and de.
aired him to speak out. Mr.. Peckham

4 AURDER NINETEEN YEARS AGO.
The skeleton of q mar found recently
In IN abandoned lead mine at Ellerv;lle,
Ulster county, N. T., which was being reopen
ed, has been identified as the remains Of 4
telegraph operator named David Smith, who
disappeared mysteriously from that village
in February. 1865. Smith, then aged "a, was
supposed by his family to hAxe left on 10.
count Of love affair. His mother, residing
at Obereard, Ulster county, has identified the
clothing. A medical examination of the
skeleton disclosed stiff hip joint, which was
the case: with Snith. Neither watch: nor
money were found with the remains, though
Smith carried both. The general belief In
Ellerville is that Smith was murdered. Ru-
NOR charges the crime to dead man whose
home was near the mine where the body was
found. Just before his disappearance Smith,
at dance, had trouble with this man, whose
name was Joseph Fleicker, who was of a vio-
lent temper and cruel to his family. Three
years ago Fleicker became insane, and be-
fore being confined frequently visited the old
mine. Pointing to the mire he would say

see some one going down the shaft. He was
taken to the Willard asylum at Ovid, New

ENGLISH GRAIN.
The Mark Lane Ezpress says: Offer
ings Of English wheat have been moderate
both at Mark Lane aud in the country. The
aspect Of trade shows greater confidence on
the part of buyers and more active demand
han for some time past. Prices continue to
improve. The advances of a shilling per
quarter in both English and foreign wheat
was we'll maintained at market Monday last,
when, with the unusually light imports. mill
ers bought with tolerable freedom. Subse-
quent markets held in London have, it is true,
been less animated, but holders have shown
no inclination to low pretensions now that
in the future is to some extent restored by the
firm attitude Of the American markets and
the revival OF the continental demand Con.
siderable sales of fine Russian and American
have been made at an advance of one shilling
and six pence per quarter from the recent
lowest point, except maize, which has given
way from three pence to six pence per quarter
under the pressure of continued liberal i'm
ports. Business in feeding corn has not quota
bly, changed. The demand is mainly Of a
retail consumption nature at about late rates.
Sales OF English wheat last week amounted
to "A ,49l quarters at S9s. Id. against 35,74s

''Send the Bill to my Husband"

Realize, reader,says a NewYork paper,
the anguish of q lad y compelled to stand
by another lady wearing larger diamonds
than her own, or more point lace, or a
longer train. What will the world think
as under the chandelier this painful con-
trast comes out2 Such moments of deep
humiliation cause sleepless nights, and
the next day results in bills that become
as criminal indictments to poor, over
worked men. Under the impulse of
such trying scenes as these, many a ma
tron has gone forth on Broadway with
firm lips and eyes in which glowed in
exorable purpose, and placed upon her
arms and fingers, that might have helped
her husband forward, the gems that
would be but millstones about his neck.
There are many phases of heroism, but
