The Tewksbury InvestigatiOn-Leg-
islatiVe.

BOSTON, July 10.-In the Tewks-
bury hearing to-day Attorney Brown
closed the case for the defense.
During the discussion the chairman
said the commission would, after
while, resent the governors slurs
upon it.
The finance committee of the house
submitted a long reply to Gov. But
ler's veto to the tax bill, meeting his
arguments and reproving what they
called his fallacy in raising but ST.,
100000 for the current year.
The TeWksbury committee held a
secret session this afternoon and
authorized a statement that it was
voted for Walcott to report to the
house the fact that A. Marsh, jr., re-
fuses to produce his memorandum
books as to the disposal of the bodies.
1t is also said there is no doubt that
Marsh will produce the books, and
that he has all the time been willing
to do so if the names of the bodies
sent for dissection be not published,
so that the friends who were too neg
ligent to take away the bodies for
burial, need not modest him for send
ing the bodies away for dissection.
BOSTON, July 10.-During the
Tewksbury investigation DR.. Near
thur and Representative Mellen, men,
bers of committee, protested against
the ruling of the majority of the
committee, and turning to witness,
asked him to say if there was
practice of skinning bodies at the
Harvard medical school. The discus
sion over this query, which followed
between the members of the commit
tee, was even more personal than any
which has characterized the hearing,
Mellen claiming that the majority of
the committee voted against the mi
nority IN order to smother the evil
dence. The majority claimed that the
governor was seeking to introduce
totally new evidence. Mellen's right
to question the witness was voted
down 10y to 3. Adjourned.

On Mo day last a man with four children,
claiming to be from the NiObrara country,
this State, arrived in town, and while here
he met another mover, to whom he proposed
to sell his little boy four years old. As
shockingly inhuman as this may seem, the
little boy then and there was sold 70 tho
stranger, for the sum of 500 The little fell
low, when told by his beast of a father what
he had done, and that he must go with the
stranger, wept bitterly, implorng his father,
not to take him away from his little brothafs
and sisters. mo, you cannot stay; you

back and put into the wagon. So touching

Interview in Philadelphia Press.
AFTER our visit East we went to California
and there got the patriotic idea of establish
ing a Polish colony in one of the delightful
spots in that State. So we LETT San Francis
co, went down into the country near Santa
Barbara and bought farm. We gathered a
few friends about us, but soon found our
idea OF Polish colony was only sentiment
tai one. The experiment was very costly,
and then we were not a success as farmers.
Everything we grew cost us twice as much as
it would had we bought it, and after q few
months of country life got very tired of the
corn and potatoes, the pigs and the chickens,
and went up to San Francisco to see if
could not get chance to resume my pro-
fession in this country"
How did you succeed"

termined to make trial, so | mGt Mr.. John
Mccullough, and he was very kind and
gentlemanly. | asked MIN to give me a
chance to play, He finally consented and
decided l should play Ophelia, in Polish, to
Mr.. Booths Hamlet in English if he could
get his consent When he made the request
to Mr.. Booth he refused to play with me.
He did not know me. and probably thought
| was an enthusiastic amateur, and not an
artist. / could not speak the language to
