4 VERSATILE WITNESS.

| On the 18th, the proceedings in TIN
Spohord-kellosg case wero enlivened b,
an amusing exhibition Of the witnes
Watson, OF which the correspondents o.
the Cincinnati Gazette gives the follow
| ing account:
Watson coolly admitted that at the in
stiGation of Murry, the witness whom
Senator Hill on Friday last endorsed us
tho only honest witness who had vet
appeared, he entered into a corrupt con
slderation to swear, swear that lie had
personated Thomas in the vote for kellogg,
and had actually made two al1idavits TO
chat effect. lie called them "quassy aili
daVitS."
"What do you mean by quassy af1tla-
vits" asked Judge Merrick.
"Well, 1 mean an affidavit by implic;.
tion," he replied.
What is an affidavit by implication?,
Merricl1 asked, with an evident belief
that he had got the witness there
An affidavit by implication replied
the witness slowly, SIS an affidavit that
implies it is true and it isn't
When questioned g to whether he did
not think it wrong to make such n
false statement, lie replied.
No worse than for bulldozers to bur,
my store in Feliciana'
Still further pressed oo this point he
lcane" back in his cha:l aud answered;
'The Scriptures tell us not to let our ,
right hand know w hat ourle ft haud do,th.
ana that there ara times when the truth
should be judiciously suppressed
Amid the roars Of laughter that this
answer ELECTED, the wisnsss added:

name, of what church,
'Ofall the colorcl churches,' the wit
ness responded. an sort of a Uuiycr
salist, with modified ideas of the exist
ence Of 4 hell
When still further questioned as to
his reasons for thus f,lsely swearing. he
said he supposed that when he made
those aili;lavits Ia vast d state of moral !
turplt"de" bat sinco he had been in |
Washington his moral faculty had been
revived by the improved atmosphere, and
:e would so back to Louisiana Il reform
,d mar.
He volunteered the information that
lnucr the laws of Louisiana there was
10 such crime known as false swearing
md offered to prove it by decisions OF
iic Supreme Court.
'WlIat, lawyer, too, as well rs
preacher and a teacher!' calculated Mer-
ic&, and with 4 sign sure .dered the
witness in despair.
Since he bad been in Washington Muir
ay had admitted to him that he knew
'homas WAS actually present and had vo-
ed for Senator Kellogg.

That Hungarian patriot and states
man, Kossuth, recently sent $50
francs for the relief of the people Of
Szegedin. and one sentence in the
letter which accompanied the dona-
ton is worthy of preservation in the
literature of any language. The
sentence runs thus: "What comes
from the heart goes to the heart. I,
who do not worship the power oil
your monarch, who look upon the
purple as Indifferent vanity, bow
with respect at the sight of human
tears, trembling in the eyes of q
king. May these tears be the source
of the resurrection of Szegedin to a
more beautiful life, and may they
throw a ray of forgiveness into the
darkness of the past"
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1879-05-23
Another Novelty.

Whenever a new invention is
brought out, we seem inadvertently
inclined to ask why it was not dis
covered long before. Every inven-
ton. Or new application of an old
principle, is, in effect, only repeat
ing the old story of Columbus and
the egg. Everybody can do it when
the thing is made known. Those
people who think that the fountain
of research will ever become exhaust
ed, or that mans inventive faculty
will one day expend itself are eyre
griously mistaken. The appliances
with which our predecessors have fur
nished us are like so many lanterns
placed in cur hands to light up the
uncertainties of the way in which we
are labouriously plodding. A late
announcement comes to hand giving
the outlines of new device for sig
mailing the approach of railway
trains, and to distinguish whether
they are passenger, freight or stock
trains. The plan proposed is to use
locomotive bells, keyed on certain
tones to be understood by all railroad
employees. These bells, in con-
junction with signals, agreed upon,
from the steam whistle, il is claimed
will be all sufficient to convey much
valuable advance information to the
station towards which train is ap-
preaching. Since telegram can
only convey to distant station such
information as may be in possession
of the agent at the time the train
leaves, the advantage of the bell and
whistle signal becomes apparent.

That Omen Question.

Well it is no longer open, it is set
tied. By vote of 1c to 14* the Mil
roy resolutions were carried last
night. Overcome in spite of our
earnest remonstrances, by sheer force
of numbers. Now, then, alcohol is
doomed it is to be annihilated contra
band of war, like counterfeit coin
and currency, it is to be hunted and
seized, and destroyed, and one of the
vices of humanity, at least, is to be
rendered an impossibility. A vast
and overwhelming reform is at last
inaugurated. We had thought, in
our simplicity, that in joining the
Blue Ribbons, we were to help sup
press intemperance in the use of
alcoholic drinks as bererage. But
the first thing we know, q gigantic
reform :. medical science and phar-
macy and the mechanical arts also, is
precipitated upon us, and by ma
jority of two the deed is done and
we must submit. Personally, we
don't care how soon alcohol is abol-
ished, but there is one thing we
promise ourselves never to do, i. g. :,
never to introduce any topic, SO far
outside the record, as to justly en-
title us to be called ultra and foolish,
or as will ueedlessly be made bone of
contention. Fortunately the dis
cussion was respectful and good ma
tured, but some remarks made con-
corning the Maine law need correc-
ton, which we do in the words of
Cyrus Hamlin: "Now what do the
most trustworthy statistics show with
regard to the effects of the Maine
law:
First, as to its opened, authorized sale: Be-
fore the passage of the prohibitory law
there were 1900 places where rum and
other liquors were sold, amounting to
$40, 00O,0 900 annually. Now there are about
100 town agencies and their sales amount
to 100000 annually, for medical and me-
chanical purposes; about fifteen cents per
inhabitant, as shown by ex Gov. Dingley.
The population of the State was then 49,.
600, and the cost of intoxicating liquors
was $22.22 to each inhabitant.
But to get at the real facts, We must add
the private use and surreptitious sale,
which are matters of conjecture. Few
would place them SO high as 81, OOO, 600.
The population is now 625. Geo. This would
give lis $1.75 to each inhabitant, against
$22.22.
On the old system we should now be
expanding, with our increase of popula-
ton, $13,00O,000 every year by this law
The people being fully convinced of this,
will not abolish the law in order to accom- :.
modate a set of would-be rum-sellers and
nlanufacturers-men who grow rich by
making others poor, and whose ultimate
influence upon society is best seen i'm the
courts of justice, the fails, the almshouses
and the taIes.
A mayor of the city of Portland,
Me-, in a message to the city coun-
Gil affirmed, "The quantity of liquor
now sold is not one-fftieth part as
much as it vas before the enactment
of the law" W. r.
