TaCKIISG The WRONG MAN.

Three youths stood leaning against
fence
They were long in ears, but short Of
sense;
And they said "Haw-haw.~ aud That's
immense,
As the folks vert passing by.
They chaffed the girls whom they never

To some they'd say: Dear, how dye

And every one they'd guy.
They ogled the girls and they chaife'l

As they thought not able TO tackle them

They were frisEy As hogletS just ont Of

And they laughed with loud hee-haw
When youths of rustic aspect passed,
And looks of scoTn on Such men they
cast.
For they prided themselves on being
fast"
And far from being green or raw
They insulted ladies who'd escorts none.
They smirked at misses, and thought It
fun,
And they'd say. Boys. this one takes

ermen; this season there were twen-
ty-four canneries, catching 100000
cases, and paying to fishermen ST.
096, 200. These figures apply exclu-
sively to Astoria. A large proportion
of the amount expended by the othe:

its way to Astoria and accelerated
business in various ways.

The result of the first days examination
shows that this new move has been carefully
considered, and that the line of examination
has been prearranged in its most minute de-
tails. Judge Jere Wilson, the ablest and
most sagacious lawyer in the employ of the
defendants-the one man for the defense who
makes no legal mistakes-conducted the ex-
animation. The questions had been written
out and for the most part were read from
manuscript. They were confined to general
tiles, and were so prepared as to leave the i'm
preston that the counsel proposed to take q
hasty survey of the leading features by ques-
tions which would permit the defendant to
make general denial This ingenious plan
was well executed by the counsel but Brady
did not SO well perform his part His an
swerS that the charges of Walsh and Rerdell
were untrue were broad and emphatic, but
Brady did not confine himself within the
Limitations which the lawyers questions
suggested. He at times became discursive
and gave such heated emphasis to his denials
as to indicate that possibly when a skillful
crossexaminer shall take him in hand he
may wander away from the text That cross
examiner is not to be Mr. Merrick, as has
been supposed, but will be Mr.. George Bliss
Mr.. Merrick undoubtedly has reserved for
himself what probably he will consider the
privilege of cross-eXamining Mr.. Dorsey if
the latter shall become a witness. Mr. Bliss
has made Brady the central figure of bis at
tack, and Mr.. Bliss irritating way may per-
haps with the stolid Mr.. Brady, be quite as
effective upon cross-examnation as the in
cislve but more courteous and polished
methods of Mr.. Merrick. If there is any,
thing in a raspng voice and an aggressive
audacty which can break down Mr.. Brady
Mr. Bliss will not be without such weapons.
The government counsel will unquestiona-
bly, press home the fact to the jury that, if
the charges which have been made by so
many witnesses against the integrity of
Brady are SO wholly untrue, it re-
mains TO be explained why an hon
est man should have neglected for more
than year to deny them from the
witness-box. The government counsel think
that the direct examination of Mr.. Brady
will end and the cross-examination begin to-
morrow. Mr.. Merrick tonight expressed the
opinion that it might be possible to terminate
the trial by May l, although he said: "If the
examination should end now the arguments
might consume all of the time until May.
The court practically cannot stop the flow of
talk on the part of the defense"
Judge Wylie does not fix so early date as
May for the termination OF the trial.
