Aaron Burr as Cross Exam iner.

A writer thus describes the CONCLUSION OF
a case IN which Burr wa, one OF the law
yers: The evening session opened and
Burr resumou his cross exam ination of the
witness. II was a test OF the prosound
skill and subtlety of the lawyer, the self
possession. courage aud tact of the witness
standing on the very brink of horrible
gulf firmly and lntrepldly resisting the
efforts of the terrible man to topple HIM
over. AT last, after dexterously leading the
witness to an appropriate point, Burr sud
denly seized lamp IN each hand, and bold
ing them In such a manner that their light
fell instantaueously upon the face of the
witness5, he exclaimed in startling voice,
like the voice OF the svenger of blood: Gen
tlemen of the jury, behold the murderer"
With wild, ,convulsive start, face of ashy
pallor, eyes starting from their sockets, lips
apart, his whole attitude evIucing terror, the
man sprang from his CHAIR. For moment
he stood motionless, struggling TO recover
his self possession; but 1t was only momen-
tary struggle, shaking every nerve with
paraIyz!ng fear. Conscious that the ewes of
all in the Court room were fixed upon him
reading the hidden deeds of his life, he left
the witness stand and walked shrinklngly
is the door OF the Court room; but he was
prevented from making his escape by the
Sheriff. The effect can be betterimagined
than described. 1t struck the spectators with
silent awe, changing the whole aspect or the
trial IN an Instant, OveltbrowIng the hyyo-
thesis Of the Attorney General, which he
was convinced would send the prisoner to
the galOws, saving an innocent man from
the deathful hands of bold and skilful
perjurer. The false witness was arrested,
indictments were found against him, one
for murder, another tor perjury. He was
acquitted OF murder, but subsequently
convicted of perjury and sentenced to a
long term of Imprisonment.

Pleasant Wales.

Fully q century ago the pleasant wales
leading up into the Coast NJ )untains in
California had been penetrated by the
frontiersmen OF Mexico, Of which country
this whole great region was an lll-defned
province, under the name of Alta Califor-
MIA. these men were herdsmen or farmers.
Early In the present century a colony OF
Russians and Indians from Alaska, under
the leadership of Alexander Koskof,
landed at Bodega Bay, and began farming
where now Is the village of Bodega. Not
satisfied with this place alone, however,
they travelled northward some forty
miles, and established permanent trading
post and agricultural station near Salt
Point, the site and many of the buildings
Of which are now occupied as the village
of Fort Ross an anglicized abbrevlation
of Fterte dc los RusOs, as the post was
called by the Spaniards. The occupancy
Of this strip of coast--for their hold ex.

Theatre Properties.

The properties, as they are termed, of
the theatre, that Is, the unused scenery
and also the machinery and fixtures of old
performances, gradually form an immense
accumulation. The machinery used III
"Sardanapalus" was of very great bulk,
and is now stored in the rear of the thea
tire, where it may remain till called for
The storage room In the Booth Theatre is
Of vast extent, and embraces an accumula-
tion which, no doubt, cost one hundred
thousand dollars. IL is in this manner that
the profits are so often sunk. A play must,
before it can be called profitable, pay for
the expense Of getting it up, and hence a
large risk Is taken. "Sardanapalus" Is
said to have cost thirty thousand dollars,
but as the play had run the outlay prov
ed first rate investment. After few
years 1t may be revived aud have another
run. At present, however, 1t is almost
forgotten. There is at the present ime
scenery Of more than one hundred plays
lying idle, and most of it will be painted
over, Scene painters are now very busy,
aud the artists make fifty dollars per eek.
They work with rapid touch, and acquire
great skill in this speciality. The drop cur,
tains; however. are very elaborate, and
are often highly admired. it is estimated
that twenty five thousand persons attend
the theatres every night, besides those who
attend other places of amusement One
reason for this is found in the homeless
character OF New York life. Everybody
wants to go somewhere to be amused, end
hence the theatres are crowded.

CalIfor lIa Vim, yards.

Late accounts from California notice
the great increase IN the size of the VINE
yards there. A plantation OF 200 acres
used to be considered large vineyard;
now vineyards of 500 and 600 acres are
not uncommon, and one OF l, 800 acres
was recently planted near Los Angeles.
1t is expected that III three years or so
California will possess vineyards of 5000
or 5000 acres IN extent, The total num-
Der OF acres at present devoted to vine
culture Is estimated at about 100, 600, all
of which will be bearing in about four
years time, and producing about 40, 900,
900 or 30, 600, 900 gallons annually. New
wines at present fetch from 40 to 2s cents
per gallon for dry wines, either red OF
white. Sweet wine Is dear, ranging from
E5 to rs cents per gallon. Though nex'
years prospects are good, last years
prices for grapes are not likely to be main.

A6attIesnake Jim slain.

Intelligence has been received that
"Rattlesnake Jim," a sporting man
well known from the Missouri river to
the Sierra Nevada mountains, had bit
the dust in Weiser City, Idaho. John
Said, alias Rattlesnake Jim, who had
been stopping at Weiser for some time
past and eHdesvoring to run the town
when, drinking, entered the Gem saloon,
kept by Gray brothers, about ten.o clock
Wednesday night and called the house
up to drink with him. After drinking
he asked John Smith, the bartender,
to charge it, which Smith said he could
not do. Jack said: "You won't; take
this, then," at the same time pushing q
large navy revolver into Smiths face.
Smith dropped behind the bar, when
Jack made a second attempt to shoot
him. at which time other parties inter
fered and induced him to put up his
weapon. Jack then made Smith stand
up, look at him and shake hands, re-
marking: 'T'll not kill you now.'
Smith summoned George Porter,
Deputy Sheriff who, in company with
two citizens of Welser, attempted to
arrest Jack on the street. When told
to "throw up" Jack remarked, "Ii
you think i won't shoot you are -
-" and he drew his pistol, but be-
fore he had time to set IL the Deputy

Wllite wood.

Builders tell us that in the early
days of Philadelphia whitewood was
largely used in house-building in thai
city. 1t was used for ratters and ioists
III the upper stories, and was much es'
teemed for its Ightness and strength.
AS the wood became scarce in the
vicinity pine very naturally took its
place. In ali article on its present use
the "Woodworker" says:
In the middle, Southern, and West
ern States, where the tree grows abun-
dainty. it has been, and still lis, extern
sively used, and is considered q good
substitute for pine, red cedar and
cypress, and serves well for the exterior
work of houses as we'll as for externa
covering. The panels of doors, vain
scots, and holdings of ehimneys are
made of the wood, and shingles have
been made in some States. These
shingles are preferred by some to pine,
because they are more durable and not
liable to crack from the effects of in
tense frost and sunshine Lumber
sawed from this tree is used in all the
principal cities for the panels of car
riages. When perfectly dry they take
paint we'll, and will admit of brilliant
polish. 1t enters largely into coach
manufacturing, and is used in cars,
wagon-boxes, sleighs, etc. 1t In par
ticularlv applicable to any work requir-
ing soft wood, easily worked, and re-
quiring great strength, especially if
wide work is desirable. It was used
years ago in large quantities in the
manufacture of trunks, which were
covered with cloth or skins, Large
quantities of tables and bedsteads have
been made from this wood. They are
usually stained to initiate mahogany.
1t often enters into the construction of
bureaus and general cabinet work,
particularly where it is the base for
covering with veneer 1t has been
used also in the interior work of canal.
boats and steamboats,. AS it is easily
wrought in the lathe, it is often used
for bowls, brush and broom handles,
and numerous other articles of turned
wares. Farmers construct eating and
drinking troughs for their animals of
the wood, as it stands long exposure to
the weather better than chestnut or
butternut. 1t Is also used in bridges
in some places; the Indians were won't
to make canoes from the big trees, and
Goma of them had room for twenty or
more persons. In some parts of the
country long lines of fences may be
seen that are made of rails of this tree.
One-third of the lumber used in making
collins in New York City is whitewood,
it being used for the sides and tops.
Very large quantities are consumed in
the, backs and legs of pianos. Furm-
ture manufacturers use it for ebonizing,
and in parts where great strength is not
required. A manufacturer of bungs IN
New York uses 500, 900 feet annually,
and it is also used largely in making
tovS and pumps.

LIKE THE IVY.

True love is like the ivy bold
That clings each day with lrmer hold,
That growcth on through good and Ill,
And mid the tempest clingeth still.
What though the walls ON which II climbs
Have lost the grace OF former times
Win then the ivy lose its hold.
Forget the sunny days OF oldT
Nay, rather II vii, closer cling
With loving clasp, remembering
That 1t had hardly lived at all
Without the kindly sheltr'lng wal.
True love Is like the ivy green,
That ne'er forgetteth what hath been,
And so, till life itself be gone,
Untrl the end il cllngeth on.
What thought the tree where il may cling
Shall har lly know another spring?
What though its boughs be dea and bare?
The twlnlng Ivy climbeth there
And clasps II with a tirmer hold,
With stronger love than that OF old,
And lends Ii grace II never had
When time was young and life was glad.
