Interesting Testimony i'm the Whitta ker
Case.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-In the Whitaker
court martial George R. Burnett, of the
Ninth cavalry, stationed at Fort Wingate, N
W., was the only witness. He was the first
person to discover Whitaker on the morning
of April 6, 1880. The principal portion of
his testimony was confederation of that of
previous witnesses. Witness took some
pieces of betting similar to those found in
Whittaker's room and bound his feet togeth-
err and then tied his hands to an iron bed
stead. He then proceeded to tie his hands
and then reclined on the floor, his head rest
ing on pile of manuscript ''This is the
way found Whitaker, - said the witness. 1t
took just six and half minutes for the wit
ness to tie himself up and arrange himself as
Whitaker was found. After a cross -exami-
nation, which failed to elicit any new points,
the court adjourned.

The Bohemian Girl at Home.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin writing from Carlsbad says: The Bohemian girl as she appears on her native soil does not look as if she ever dreamt of marble halls, as did the girl of the late MT. Balfe's opera. She begins life swathed in a stiff pillow to straighten and strengthen her back, Soon after she begins to walk she takes lessons in bearing burdens on this back, and by the time she reaches womanhood can carry ten-gallon cssk of water, or huge basket filled with firewood or soiled clothes, up steep hill twenty or thirty times, without stopping to rest. Advancing in years, she may be hitched with COW or big dog to pull mar ket wagon, driven by her beloved and loving husband. If she is a very good wife she may be advanced to the dignity of being the ff-horse, with a dog for the near one, to haul coal cart to a customers door, and when she un- hitches herself she carries in a pannier the rusty-looking coal of the country up one, two or three pairs of stairs, while the man and dog repose in the street. It is thus that the native Bohemian girl often fulfills her destiny iu this historic and chivalric land Woman is the drudge and tho beast of burden here, as in many other parts of this continent. There are fine horses for driving heavy vehicles, and there are donkeys that pull fat dowagers or lazy little boys up the hills. But there are no equestrian displays. A riding horse is more rarely seen in Carlsbad than pretty German woman, and yet there are scores of cavaliers in cavalry uniforms that ought to be pricking the sides of the best blooded steeds of the orient. But there is not much need of horses in a country where women are the laborers, and the pleasure horse is an expensive luxury.

The |" MaSher."

The Baltimore American gives ladies hint for the paralysis of mashers." Here it is: "The lady has only to cast her eyes modestly down and fix her gaze intently on the feet of the masher. The glance at the feet should be concen- trated, yet full of pity, and should lin ger slightly as the lady passes by. In stantly the whole platoon of mashers is affected by profound distrust. The sympathetic look strikes terror to their souls. They will cast down their own eyes and look at their feet. The hor- rible fear that their shoes are not in the latest style takes possession of their boscms. Each one is smitten with the conviction that his foot is abnormally spacious; he becomes conscious of null titudinous protruding corns and bun- ions his shoes, peradventure, are muddy or dusty; or something has gone wrong with the set of his trousers at the ankle. The stoutest lah- de- dah collapses at the mere possibility of such a thing his nerve is gone. The eye-glass falls from his eye, his arms lose thei} kimbo; he feels that his pantaloons arscupped at the knees and that his coat is full of misfits and wrinkles {; he suspects the cleanliness of his stockings, shudders at the thought that the sole and upper leather have parted company, revealing that painful fact. He even flies to some secluded spot and makes a protracted in- vestigation before he can satisfy himself that all is right. And even then his nerves do not recover their tone. He is liable to be again panic-stricken. A glance of pity, mingled with & slight smile cast at his feet will renew and az gravate all his paralytic symptoms.
 "The masher, the lah-de-dah, and lum-tum, like all other creatures, have their weak spots. To prevent a hog from roofing, slit his nose 7; to keep g jackass from praying, weight down his tail; to keep a masher from mashing, gaze sadly at his feet"

The Fuel Used.

The census report on the fuel of the country states that four 6fths of the fuel is wood and one-ffth coal, with small quantities of hay, corn-stalks and corn used in some regions. Since 1S42 the production of coal has risen from 2,OOO, ,OOO tons to 70,000,000 tons, and from producing then one-twenty fifth of the entile quantity mlned in the world, the United States now turns out nearly one-fourth. Of the coal mined, 26, 400,- 900 tons are anthracite and 19,000, 900 tons are bituminous. The chief con- sumption of coal lies in the large cities, in the coal regions of Pennsylvania and Ohio and in northern Kentucky and southern Illinois and Indiana. In the rest of the country the use of wood pre- ponderates. In New England, wood is found to be almost entirely used in northern Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. Coal is in use on the coast of Maine, and in Connecticut the use oi the two fuels is about equally divided. In New York, Franklin county has a proportion of seven of wood to three oi coal, in Berkshire the two are about equal, in Hampshire two to one, ir Essex about one of wood to four oi coal, and in Middlesex two of wood to three of coal.
