New YORK, Feb 10.-A rumor ia reported
from Washington to the effect that one of the
Star route defendants has turned States evil
dence or has indicated willingness to do so,
and that in consequence the trial is likely to

finds himself in hole that in fit of despera-
tion be has concluded to make a clean breast
OF it and throw himself upon the mercy of the
government. This man is believed to be eth
er Brady or Dorsey. The former has been very
much abused by the other defendants, who
have sought to make scapegoat Of him, 1t

The essays and orations showed originality Of
thought and literary talent, and the very sue
cessful manner in which they were delivered
reflected great credit on the instructors by

our seminary and high school exhibitions; and
It is exceedingly refreshing to occasionally at
