A story of wonderful memory comes
from Sydney, Australia. A prisoner set
up in his defense an alibi, claiming that
at the time of the robbery he was at
home listening to the recital of II novel
1.-The Old Baron" by man named
Lane, who had committed it, with other
works, to memory. Lanes recitation,
ho said, took two hours and a half. The
Encouragement holding this to be i'll
credible, Lane began: "In the time of
King Henry, when the good Duke Hum
phrcy returned from the wars ill the
Holy Land, where he had been soiomn-
Ing for number of years, there lived"
After the witness had rected several
lHges the attorney-generNl told him to
stop as he was satisfied. But the defence
insisted that as the yeracity OF the wit
ness had been questioned he should be
allowed to 50 on. Finally II conlpro-
mise was effected, Lane gave a chapter
from the middle Of the story and It's
conclusion, and the accused was found
not guilty,

WHITE LABoR.-The La. Sugar
Bowl says Mr.. Briblebee came to the
Attakapas country from a western
State short time ago, bringing with
hun three Germans, relations of his.
and rented the Weeks plantation.
They planted sixty or seventy acres in
cane, cultivated it exclusively them
selves, extracted the juice, and had it
manufactured on DR.. Dnperler's place
a few days ago into over one hundred
hogsheads of fine sugar. The ante
betIans idea that none but negroes can
endure the heat of southern summers,
working in the open fields, has been
exploded as humbug in hundreds
of cases. The truth is, and every
northern man who lives here one sum
mer knows it, our summers are much
more pleasant than in the north, ow-
ing to our humid atmosphere and
gulf breezes.
