Herbert NJ. Heath appeared for the res pom
dent and called but one witness.
Judge Andrews taking the stand testified :
1 am judge of the police court of Augusta,

age was arraigned before me. The complain
ant, one of the Coombs' Bros. testified be-
fore me as to the identity of Savage. He
said there were several peculiarities about
Savage, touching his watch chain ring. fur
on coat, and manner of wearing hat Held
Savage on the first day on account of
Coombs' testimony. Coombs expressed some
doubt at the preliminary hearing of Mr..
Clark, as TO the identification of Clark.
Gross EIaminafton.-Mr Herrick identi-
fed Clark at Clark's preliminary hearing.
The testimony being all in, Mr.. Heath pro-
ceeded to argue the case for the defendent
at considerable length. He set up as the de-
fence that the identity of the prisoner had not
been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
The celebrated Tichborn case in England
was cited as one where witnesses had been
mistaken as to identity. He reviewed the
testimony of a number of the witnesses, and
alleged that they had not established the lden-
tity of the prisoner at the bar beyond a rea-
sonable doubt. MIR. Heath's argument was a
very able one.
Following Mr.. Heath the county attorney
plead the case for the government in a very
logical and able manner He referred to the
testimony of the witnesses, that it all tended
in one direction. viz. that the defendant was
guilty. There could be no mistake as
to the identity of the prisoner. Witness after
witness had testified and nearly all were
quite positive that they recognized him. At
the conclusion of Mr.. Haines argument the
court adjourned until 9 A. NJ, to-day.

Female Education In Russia

The most important step recently taken
in Russian education is the institution
of special school for the instruction of
the daughters of the poorer class of Rus
slams. Middle class education is already
provided for by private institutions and
the public gymnasia. For the elementary
education of women, however, the exist
ing arrangements are by no means per-
feet. The fewness OF the elementary
schools, uniting, SO to speak, the pri-
mary and middle educational establish
ments, has led parents belonging to a
less wealthy state of society to resort
with their children to the gymnasia
whereas, in the greater number of cases
the pupils thus placed find
themselves not only without
the requisite capacity for the pro-
gramme peculiar to these institu-
tons, but also hindered by poverty from
completing a successful course of study.
AS matter of fact, very few of these
young persons ever pass the examination
prescribed. They often leave the gym
nasium without knowing Russia cor
rectly, or being able to work an arih-
metical sum without error. To sup
ply the want caused by this state Of
things, a new school Of special type for
girls, from nine to eleven years old has
been founded, under the patronage of the
Empress. The course of study will in
clude religion, the Russian language,
elements OF natural history, caligraphy,
drawing. singing, music and needlework,
and the term of study will extend over a
period of four years.

She had been taking music lessons
for fifteen years, and so when they
asked her to play, we naturally expected
o treat.

"Now, Miss Poots, you're so nnkind

But they insisted and she was finally
prevailed upon to seat herself at the
piano. And when it was too late, and
after she had began to knock down and
drag out poor old "Heavenward." they
discovered that she was out of practice,
and that she couldn't play without her
notes, or with them either, some of the
people who had coaxed her into it were
mean enough to say. The moral is con-
tanned in the following from the Detroit
Free Press:
"When a lady who has been taking
music lessons for the past eight years
hangs back and bushes and says she
really can't play, don't insist on it. The
chances are that she can't. - Cincinnati

The Last Tribute to Trip0iI.

1t seems incredible now, says the New
York Times, that a contemplate little
piratical community like Tripoli should
ever have exacted tribute from the great
powers of Christendom, and the purchase
of immunity from the depredations of
her corsairs on their merchant marine.
The tribute, which was rendered in the
form of Consular present, was paid by
the United States as late as 1913. and by
Great Britain even later. The following
letter con corning the last present made
by the United States, was written by
James Monroe while secretary of state
under Madison, and before his own cleo
ton to Presidency, to the late Judge
Richard B. Jones of Philadelphia, who
had been q short time before appointed
Consul at Tripoli. The original of the
Musgrave, of this city, a granddaughter
of Judge Jones:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Sep. IA, 1872.
Sir: Your letters of the 9th ultimo
and 9th instant, have been duly re-
ceived. With respect to the consular
present for Tripoli, it is thought on
every account to be advisable to pur-
chase it in Europe, either at Cadiz or
some point in Italy. The danger of
capture if sent from this country and the
comparatively low price at which every
article composing the present is to be
had in Europe are considerations which
conclusively recommend this course
With your general instructions will be
sent, as soon as other pressing engage
ments will permit, list of the articles
which, on former occasions, have been
found to be most acceptable at Tripoli.
To these will be added the bond required
by law for the faithful performance of
the consular duties. ] have the honor
to be respectfully, sir. your obedient
servant, JAMES MONROE.
The danger of capture referred to
arose from the war then in progress be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain. In Judge Jones' diary, which is
also in Mrs. Musgrae's possession, is an
enumeration of the articles selected for
present. These articles were cloths
linens, and velvets, and their value was
$362S. Judge Jones, while consul at
Tripoli, negotiated the treaty by which the
payment of the tribute was finally abol-
ished. Prior to being appointed consul
he was lieutenant in the United States
navy, and was taken: prisoner with Balm

A SONG OF TIME.

How WON a theme is that of time
Then why do begin to rhyme
Upon it now?
Because tonight the air is filled
With voices that will not be stilled-
They will not cease.
And always sing the same refrain
OF time that ne'er will come again,
OF Time that flies.
OF all that Time sweeps in his fl ght
The voices sing to me tonight,
Time cures all care,
That is what would fsin believe,
Ny heart herewith do deceive,
With faith in Time.
Oh voices singing, be you mute,
You touch chord on my hearts Lutte
But seldom played;
Yet filling all the air around
With sweet melancholy sound,
A song of Time.
OF Time that was, of days So fair
When all was young, and love was there
Long days ago.
be stlII De sui tnat SAD refrain!
dare not listen once again
To that same song
Maybe hold those days too high,
And yield them far too oft a sigh,
Those days long since!
Yet as they were the fairest yet
OF all my days, then why forget
That happy time?
Though if it still should be my fate
To live yet happier days, the date
OF that sweet time
I'll bury, then, within the grave,
Which holds all things forgotten, save
The present time.
Nor heed voice which whispers low,
The sweetest song is that, you know,
Of long ago."

Growth Afler Death.

The following extract from the "Acts
of Leipsic," may possibly be of interest:
"In the year of 1719 a woman was in
tered at Nuremburg, in wooden coffin
painted black, according to the custom
of the country. The earth wherein her
body was deposited was dry and yellow,
as it is for the most part in the envirions
of that city. Of three bodies buried in
the same grave this woman's was laid
deepest in the ground. In 1761 there
being occasion to make room for fourth
body, the grave was dug up anew. To
the surprise of the digger, when he had
removed the first two collins. he per-
ceived considerable quantity of hair
that had made its way through the
crevices of the coffin. The lid being re-
moved there appeared a perfect resem-
blance of human figure, the eyes, nose,
mouth, ears, and all other parts boing
very distinct, but from the crown of the
head to the soles of the fee. it was COW
cred with very long, thick, and frizzled
hair. The grave digger, after examining
it for some time, happened to touch the
upper part of the head. To his surprise
the entire body began to shrink, and at
last nothing remained in his hand but a
mass of rough hair, which lnsensibly as.
sumed brownish red color"
The learned Honoratus Fabri (Lib. 3,
De plantisl, and several other authors,
are of opinion that hair, wool, nails,
feathers, horns, teeth, etc., are nothing
but vegetables. If this be so, we need
not be surprised to find them growing
on the bodies of animals after death, a
circumstance that has occasionally been
observed. Petrus Borellus preten1s
that these productions may be trans
planted as vegetables and may grow in a
different place from where they fist
terminated. He cites in some observa-
tions on this subject, among other
examples that of a tooth drawn out and
transplanted In the philosophical
Collections of Mr.. Hook it ISL believe,
stated on the authority of a gentleman
named Arnold that man hanged at
Tyburn for theft was found shortly after
his removal from the gsllows to be "cov-
cred over in very extraordinary man

story: During the Crimean war m off,
Ger, well known for his fine beard, died
or was killed in action. He was buried
