A Scene In Court.

A few years since q man of high re-
spectability was tried on the charge of
forging q will, in which it was discov-
cred he had an indirect interest to
large amount. Samuel Warren, the
celebrated author of the "Diary of
Physician" etc, was associated with
the prosecuting attorney, and the case
was tried before Lord Denman.
The prisoner being arraigned, and
the formalities gone through with, the
prosecutor, placing his thumb over the
seal, held up the will and demanded of
the prisoner if he had seen the testator
sign the instrument; to which he
promptly answered he had.
"And did you sign it at his request as
subscribing witness?'
Il did"
was it sealed with red or black
wax?"
with red wax"
did you see him seal it with red
wax?"
Il did"
where was the testator when he
signed and sealed this will?"
I'm his bed"
pray, how long piece of wax did
he use?"
about three or four inches long"
"Who gave testator this piece of
wax?"
II did"
Where did you get it ?"
From the drawer of his desk"
"How did you light that piece of
wax?"
with candle"
"Where did that candle come from 2"
II got it out of q cupboard in his
ROOM"
How long was that piece of candle?"
Perhaps four or five inches long"
WHO lit that piece of candle?"
Il lit it."
with what?"
with a match"
where did you get that match?"
"On the mantel-shelf in the room"
Here Warren paused and fixed his
large, deep blue eyes upon the prison
en- He held the will up above his
head, his thumb still resting on the
seal, and said, in a solemn, measured
tone:
Nov, sir, upon your solemn oath,
you saw testator sign that will-he
signed it in his bed-at his request you
signed it as a subscribing witness-you
saw him seal it-with red wax-a piece
of wax, two, three, or four inches long !;
he lit that wax with piece of candle,
which you produced for him from a
cupboard; you lit that candle by a

How the MOujiks Get Drunk.

Moujiks are curious when drunk.
They hardly ever quarrel, but become
affectionate and embrace each other.
Their idea of drinking is to imbibe until
they are quite insensible. When / was
in Russia l had coaehman who once q
month used to come and ask me for
leave to get drunk during two con-
secutive days. Upon inquiry / found
that only on these conditions would @
coachman remain sober during the rest
of the month. Having obtained leave,
he would go to q drinking house, show
the proprietor his money, and state how
long he might remain there. Then he
would sit down at q table with some
spirits before him. Gradually and
solemnly he would get drunk, place his
arms before him on the table, and re-
cline on them. Thus he would remain
for two days and nights, the proprietor
supplying him with more drink when
ever he looked up. His time up, the
proprietor would drag him outside the
house and set him down in the snow
against the wall, having first filled his
cap with snow. Every charitably dis
posed brother coachman passing by
would box his ears. In about half an
hour this discipline wonld sober him,
he would get up, shake himself together,
and resume his duties. One mans
poison is another mans meat, and so L
suppose that he enjoyed himself

Masked MOurners Carrying Their Dead
Through the Streets After Nightfall.
lFrosa 4, b. Aldrichs New Book
The night of our arrival was one of
those unearthly moonlight nights that
belong 10 Italy. The Arno, changed to
u sire am of quicksilver, flowed swiftly
through the stone arches of the Ponte
Vecchio under our windows, and lured
me with It's beauty out of doors, though
great clock somewhere near by just
changed IL. BY an engraving had
seen in my boyhood i recognized the
bridge of Taddeo Gaddi, with its gold
smith shops on either side. They were
closed now, of course. / strolled
across the bridge and back again, once
or twice, and then wandered off into a
network of dingy streets, traversed by
one street so very narrow that you saw
only hands breadth of amethystine
sky between the tops of the tall build
ings. Standing in the middle of the
thoroughfare, could almost touch the
shutters of the shops right and left. At
the upper end of the street, which was
at least three-quarters of a mile in
length, the overhanging fronts of the
lofty houses seemed to meet and shut
out the dense moonlight. In the des-
perate struggle which took place there
between the moon and the gloom a
hundred fantastic shadows slipped from
coign and cornice and fell into the
street below like besiegers flung from
the ramparts of some old castle. Not
human being on light was anywhere
visible. Suddenly 1 saw what, for an
instant, took to be falling star in
the extreme distance. 1t approached
in zigzag course. 1t broke into sew
eral stars; these grew larger; then l
discovered they were torches. A low,
monotonous chant, like the distant
chorus of demons in an opera, reached
my ear. The chant momentarily in
creased in distinctness, and, as the
torches drew nearer, L saw that they
were carried by fifteen or twenty per-
sons marching in square, in the mid
die of which was bier supported by a
number of ghostly figures. The pro-
cession was sweeping down on me at
the rate of six miles an hour; the train
ing pail tapped in the wind caused by
the velocity of the march. When the
cortege was within twenty or thirty
yards of me, 1 noticed that the trestle-
bearers and the persons who held the
tambeaux were shrouded from forehead
to foot in white sheets, with holes
pierced for the eyes. i never beheld
anything SO devilish. On they came,
occupying the whole width of the mar
row street. had barely time to crowd
myself into projecting doorway when
they swept by with rhythmical swing
ing gait, to the measure of the awful
threnody. 1 waited until the muffied
chant melted into the distance, and
then made bee-line for the hotel

The Hen the Real Cock of the Walk,

1t is not generally known that the
hen is cock of the walk, and yet she APP
pears to be. Statistics for 1882 show
that the value of the poultry produced
in America exceeds the value of either
hay, wheat, cotton, or dairy products.
The figures for that year are Wheat,
S49S, O00, 900; hay, 1886, 600, 900; cotton,
1910, 600, 600; dairy products, 1854, OOO,-
600; poultry, S550,000,000. Notwith-
standing these figures, poultry is about
the only product that we do not send
alwoad, but find market for it entirely
at home. France and England send
large quantities Of eggs to this country,
for which there is always ready
market. in 1882 we received ID, 0O0,-

Peter the Great

When Peter the Great was living in
England, he said and did many strange
things. When in Westminster Hall, he
inquired of distinguished barrister
who were the gentlemen in wigs and
gowns, and being told they were law
yers, said:
Lawyers! Why, / have but two in
my whole dominion, and, when 1 return
l mean to hang one"
The house which he occupied while
in England-Saye's court, at Deptford,
the property of Evelyn, the author OF
"Sylva"-was left in dirty, ruinous
condition after the imperial visit.
In the garden at Saye's court was q
thick, prickly holly hedge, 400 feet
long. This fine holly hedge was a
source of great delight TO Peter and
his retinue in their drunken revelries.
They would get wheelharrows, and,
putting a person in each, for wagers,
charge the hedge. Peter himself was
sometimes in the barrow; bat the grand
est attack of all was made by his Gar
ship, whenlhe drove the luckless Prince
MenZikGtf -four feet into the bush and
left him sticking there
Evelyn's servant writes to him OF
their doings at Deptford:
There is.a house full of people and
right nasty. The Gar lies in your IL
brary. He dimes twice, at 10 O'Clock
and 8. The King is coming here to-
day, and the best parlor is tOlerably
clean for hinl."
