An Early Day Crank.

Lawrence, who in 1885, attempted
to assassinate President Andrew Jack
son, was almost as violent as Guiteau,
No one, it seems, had anticipated the
scene which occurred before District
Attorney +. s. Key had uttered ten
sentences of his opening address, for
Lawrence had appeared very pleasant
and amiable during the impaneling of
the jury. The jury, however, had
hardly settled to their work, and Mr..
Key had barely begun his address, be-
fore Lawrence started from his seat and
shouted out in stentorian tones a num-
Der of rambling questions. The then
Chief-Justice of the District, the vener-
able VIM. Cranch, ordered him to take
his seat and deputed two marshals to
enforce this order. At the same time
Mr.. W. l.. Brent, his counsel, one of the
most famous advocates of that period,
expostulated vainly with his client, who,
though forced to sit down and kept I'M
der restraint by the marshals, kept up
his vociferations. Finally Mr.. Brent
begged the Judge to remove his
client and go on with the trial in his
absence, since he would be represented
in public trial and would be through
his counsel confronted with the wit
nesses. The Chief Justice, however,
declined at that stage of the proceedings
to give such an order, and as the pris-
oner gradually grew quiet, Mr.. Brent
went on. Secretary Levi Woodbury.
was the first witness. While he was
testifying, the prisoner, according to the
semi-official account of the trial, starting
mp wildly, said:
"What I have done to Jackson is on
account of money he owes me. / have
come here for that purpose. / consider
all in this court as under me. The
United States Bank has owed me money
ever since 1902, and want it. I must
have my money from that bank. You
are under me, gentlemen y
The deputy marshal tried to pacify
him and prevailed on him to sit down.
Prisoner Ito the deputy marshal, in
dignantly)-Mr. Woodward, mind your
own business, or shall treat you with
severity. 1t is for me, gentlemen, to
pass upon you, and not You upon me
The prisoners counsel asked for the
second time that the prisoner might be
sent out, and the Court said he might
go, If he desired. Rather ingenious
that.
Prisoner (starting up AGAIN. II deny
the power of this court to try me; am
superior to it, and what want is my
revenue.
Prisoners Counsel-Be calm, Mr..
Lawrence; you shall have your rights.
Prisoner-Ay! but when?
Prisoners Co,msel-To. day.
Prisoner-You will let me have my
funds?
Prisoners Counsel-Yes, to-day.
Whereupon the prisoner sat down
and allowed his counsel to call the wit
nesses upon his insanity.

Poisonous Rabbits.

The Territorial Enterprise, says
A man by the name of Otis, living ON
Horse Creek, CAL, was bitten by a
rabbit in September, from the effects
OF which he almost lost his life. He
was trying to catch the rabbit for his
little boy, when the animal bit him ON
the thumb; but he took little notice of
it at the time. About an hour afterward
his thumb began to pain him severely
and swell rapidly, SO that he sent for
been bitten by rattlesnake. The
doctor at first could not believe that il
was the bite of the rabbit that caused
the trouble. So, to satisfy himself, be
mad several rabbits caught, with which
ne experimental. He found that the
upper Jaw contained hollow tooth,
from which he extracted very poison
Gus fluid. He ascertained that two
drops OF this fluid administered to q
lamb would kill it in an hour,

What Constitutes Perjury.

The Court of Appeals, of the State of
New York, has decided in the o Reilly
case that man who signs false affi-
davit which is certified by notary or
other officer authorized TO administer
oaths cannot be indicted for perjury I'M
less he actually makes the oath or af-
firmation before the officer. In verify
ing a claim against the county of
Albany, O'Reilly signed the affidavit
and went before n notary, who signed
the jurat. But the oath was not adj
ministered or taken, and no words to
that effect passed between them. On
the trial of O'Reilly for perjury the
Judge ruled that the mere signing of
the affidavit and the iurat by O'Rielly
and the notary, though done in silence,
would amount to legal oath if the
parties intended that it should. This
ruling is reversed by the Court of APP
peals, which decides that the mere sig
natures to the affidavit and jurat are not
enough to make a valid oath for the
falsity of which perjury will lie. The
oath must actually be taken in the pres
ence of the officer authorized to admin
lister it. There must be, says the Court,
can unequivocal and present act by
which the affiant consciously takes upon
himself the obligation of an oath. The
delivery in this case of the signed affi-
davit to the officer was not such an act
and was not made SO by the intention
of one party or the suppositlon of the
other" AS the practice of signing affi-
davits without taking the oath is BY no
means rare it is well to know that for
making false affidavit in that way the
wilful offender or the careless affiant
cannot be held to the penalty of per-
jury.

More than half of all the thanks that

Preserve your conscience always soft

way into that tender part of the soul
and dwell easy there, the road is paved
for thousand iniquities. - Watts.
We shall not die until our work be done;
We shall not cease until our course be run;
We shall not fade or fail
While heart and faith prevail.
Or ought is to be won
Beneath the constant sun.
When God mas a great work for any
one to do in the world, he usually gives
him peculiar training for it; and that
training is just what no earthly friend
would choose for him; and sometimes
it is SO long continued that there seems
to be but little time left for work.

We may hear, think and talk to the adj
