an rmPHAT1o WITNESS.

Alick Thompson, Of Virginia, tells q
story illustrative of the peculiar vernac-
ular of the people among whom ne was
born, and of their special capacity Tor
giving evidence in court Of justice in a
compact, accurate and picturesque style.
Some time ago he CHANGED to be visiting
a county seat in Virginia, and was
courteously invited by the common
wealth's attorney to come into the court
room on the following morning, with
assurance that a witness would testify
in murder case then pending. He en-
tered the court room, and speedily after
his arrival witness was called, who adj
yanced to the stand with such a jaunty
air of sef-assurance, and who kissed tho
book with such loud-sounding conf
denee, that he was sure this must be
s@his man." His Judgment was not in
correct.
"Mr. williamson" asked the COM
nonwealth's attorney, edo you know
ANYTHING of the killing which took place
at Robertson's store last month ?"
stKnow anything !" was the response;
"I were thar"
"Then tell the court and jury" said
the attorney, "what you know"
The witness planted himself more
firmly on both feet, glanced aroundupon
his auditors, and thus delivered him
self:
"Wen, you see, Mr.. Robertson were
a-sittin' in the back part OF his store
a-playin' of his fiddle, not thinkin' OF
bein' stobbed, nor ruthin' Of the kind,
when IN come Mr. johnson, and then
and there stobbed him then he guth-
cred a bung-starter, cleaned out the
crowd, Tipped the palm, and cPared
heself. "-Editor's Draaoer, IN Ho7pe1''s

THE Empress Eugene aspired to be
the leader Of dress and fashion, and
many a middle-class family in England
was sorely embarrassed by the long
dressmakers' bills which an imitation of
her innumerable and always expensive
costumes entaiIed. Several crowned
heads in Europe, however, determined
not to accept the parvenu Empress as
their guide. The late Empress of Rus
STA passed through Dion and Lyons
with her husband in 1865, on her way
to Nice, and the Courier de Lyon re-
corded that her attire would have been
despised by shopkeeper's wife, bat
then the courtly Journal added +: "When
a lady has the honor Of being the wife
of the Emperor of all the Russias such
simplicity is only an additional charm. 3"
The late Queen of Holland appeared at
Fontainebleau about the same time in a
hat and pelisse which had done long
duty at The Hague.
AN Austrian has invented an instru-
nient for ascertaining the strength of
paper, which is stretched between two
points by means of screw. When the
tension is sufficient to burst the band of
paper, q small pendulum indicates the
amount of force in pounds which has to
be used to reach breaking point. He
calls the instrument the dasymeter
Another instrument has been patented in
Vienna, which determines the thickness
of paper to the one-thousandth part Of
an inch. Its inventor calls it the pachy-
meter.

CHINESE PRITATE LIFE.

Here are some hints which may be
useful to some of our cooks {: "They
have large screen before the doorway
which gives sufficient privacy for thel-
need. The window sashes are closed
either b. sort Of ialousie or thin mat
ting. They do not surround their do
mesticities with the same mystery and
secret precautions with which we e1lvel-
op these proceedings in Europe. Eu
man nature, they argue, has to sleep,
and here is the mat upon which it
stretches itself. Why conceal it? Il
wants to eat. and it satisfies its appetite,
no matter how many eyes are gazing.
Tell q Chinese cook you are hungry, and
he viii Immediately fetch his fire, i,is
cooking utensils, his provisions, and
cook under your very nose. He, has no
idea of concealing his operations in some
far away back region, yclept kitchen.
He squats down anywhere, makes fire
on or in anything-a basin, dish, pan OF
pot; there is no limit to his invention.
He will cook IN the middle Of the street
or in the center Of his guests in res
taurant. Upon one occasion, when on
board junk, observed man cooking
his own and his neighbor's food togeth-
er III tub, and an earthenware saucer
containing the charcoal Wonderful
creatures they are, these despised Chi
nese, with dizziness Of finger and inge-
nuity Of patience unsurpassed by any
nation under the sun. -Tenaq71e Bar.

"P4TRONLzNGr Il PAPER.

We find in the Boston Herald some
talk about "ceasing to patronize news
paper" and also about newspaper pat
ronage." 1t is stupid phrase. We
do not consider anybody patronizes a
newspaper when he buys it or that the
newspaper is under any obligations to
any one who either purchases copy or
inserts an advertisement. IF it is a
wise and sound newspaper, the pur-
chaser or advertiser gets the value of
his money, and the amount is even be-
tween them. The only situation in
which the word patronage can be proper
ly used, in such case, is where the
the newspaper is mean and worthless,
and the man pays for his copy or for his
advertisement more than the thing is
really worth. In that sort of circum-
stances there may be patronage in the
base sense of the word-the sense in
which the Herald employs it. The idea
of patronage contains in it something of
servility. Ithas no place in the Ameri-
can republic. 1t ought to be repudi-
ated and detested by every self-respect-
ing newspaper and every self-respecting
citizen. -NeaO York Sun.
Ex-MAYoR CLARK, of Manchester, Va,
who was classmate of Edgar A. Poe at
the University of Virginia, says that Poe
had passion for drawing weird and
grotesque figures on the walls of his
room. He remembers, especially, a
griffin that Poe drew which attracted
considerable attention among the stu
dents. He wrote verses good deal, but
was more distinguished at the university
as hnguist and crayon artist than he
was as a poet.
