TO his fate. He was calm and collect

the administration of the sacrament

CADET WHITAKER HAS AGAIN 1EEN
put upon tho stand to testify. At first
no suspected no particular individual,
but he now thinks that Cadets Blake
and Mcdonald may have been his as
sailants. Some days previous to the
outrage hc Ind by mistake put on
Blake's cap, and Blake was very angry.
Again, Blake moved out of his way in
very scornful manner ono day. He
suspected Mcdonald because of q
fuss iit Ind with him when both were
''plcbcs." (McDonald is said to be tho
son Of Republican preacher in Indi-
ana. Blnkc's pedigree is not given. I
Whitaker then acknowledged letter
which he rcnd, bitterly complaining of
his treatment, saying that it cast "a
beautiful reflection upon ono of tho
highest schools Of tho country, and he
felt tho day of rctribution must come
TO all OF his cowardly prosecutors" )"
This letter expresses feelings far diff:
fcrent from those Whitaker first cx-
pressed on tho stand, when he said ho
had not been very badly treated.
Whitaker has evidently been drilled
by the stalwarts.
Tho Recorder asked him if tho marks
on his cars remain, and he replied in
tho affirmative, and turned his head,
go the Court could sec his ears. There
are yet slight marks on them. The
Recorder next cross-cXamined witness
on the clauses in his former evidence
ana first statement, but he was not
shaken seriously in any part. All the
experts examined agree with South.
worth, tholast expert, that tho different
specimens of handwriting of Whitta.
ker, given to them by tho Recorder
are the same rs that in tho note OF
warning; also, that the two pieces OF
paper containing Whittaker's spcci
mems Of writing were torn or cut from,
letter sheet on which Whitaker had
begun letter TO his mother.
&. AS these experts conducted thci,
examinations separately, and tho mum
bors on the slips were changed ever,
time, there could have been no collu
4 sion and their combined evidence |,
overwhelming.

Mr.. Williams is a Virginian, who came

THE LION AND THE RABBIT

On one occasion d lion, who was out to
air his teeth and lord it over the small
fry, encountered rabbit in the forest.
The rabbit was about to sliuk away with
out word, when the lion, DESTROYS of
impressing on the whole rabbit tribe his
great importance, called up the little vic
tim and began:
Tell me what you have to live for?
You cannot roar; you cannot fight: al
most every animal in the forest can make
you fly in alarm. It seems to me that
if l belonged to such small potatoes l
would as soon be dead"
''If nature had made US all lions"
humbly replied the rabbit, there would
be nothing for us to prey upon, and hard
ly room enough for all to move about.
l had rather be q rabbit than nothing ct
all.
'There may be philosophy in that"
continued the hon, f'but when I roar
men tremble; when l spring my victim
falls. l knock down and drag out |
boss the job; I am the chairman of the
convention. as it were. If | were such
bob tailed, insignificant creature as you
