lawyer, the self-possession, courage and tact
Of the witness standing on the very brink Of
horrible gulf firmly and inuepidly resisting the
efforts Of the terrible man to topplo him over
At last, after dexterously leading the witness to
an appropriate point, Burr suddenly seized a
lamp in each hand, and holding them in such A
manner that their light fell instantaneously
upon the face Of the witness, he exclaimed in
startling voice, like the voice Of the aveuger Of
blood Gentlemen of the jury behold the
murderer
With wild, convulsive start face OF ashy
pallor, eyes starting from their sockets, lips
apart his whole attitude evincng terror. the
man sprang from his chair For moment he
stood motioness, struggling to recover his
self-possossion But It was only a momentary
struggle, shaking every nerve with paralyzing
fear Conscious that the eyes of all in the
courtroom were fixed upon him, reading the
hidden deeds of his life, he left the witness
stand and walked shrinktngly TO the door OF
the courtroom. But he was prevented from
making his escape by the sheriff The effect
can be better imagined than DESCRIBED II

ing the whole aspect OF the trial In an instant,
overthrowing tho hypothesis Of the attorney

tho prisoner TO the gallows, saving an innocent
man from the beautiful hands OF bold and

alone to the Liederkranz the Arion, the French,

no special purpose, except to have good time.
He puts 800 or 500 in his pocket, expecting to
spend it before he leaves the academy. The
freedom Of a mask permits him to address or 70

When the present state military law was a
bill before the Legislature representative ono
day took John Harmon, the lobbyist, aside and
offered him 81 to write him "a laundering good
speech" in opposition to the bill John hadn't
time, and the Scion took in each one of the re-
porters with an offer of 81. 30 without finding
taker. In despair he then returned to Harmon
and said:

An amusing story is told by Dr. Gulich of
company of missionaries on one Of the Micro.
nosian islands, in the Pacific ocean After
having been left year without tidings from
home, they heard that mail had arrived for
them on one of the neighboring islands, They
fastened to the place, and asked the chiefs
whether package had come for them. A big
bundle of mail matter-letters and papers from
American friends was brought forward, 40
cordng to polynesian etiquette, presents wcye
given to the chiefs, long conversation FL.
lowed, and elaborate ceremonies Of politenesa
were performed But unfortunately, the
gifts were too valuable. "The chiefs, being
unable to appreciate the worth of any
thing not good TO eat concluded that the mis-
sionares had received some extra delicacies,
and forthwith took the mail away from them.
The missionaries explained and entreated, but
in vain The chiefs and their companions
began to eat the supposed dolicacies, First
they bit Off tough mouthfuls of letters and
papers, chewed and tried TO swallow them, but
none Of them could make the thing 20 down.

they mixed some OF it with herbs, and boiled IL,

food, while the poor, helpless missionaries
stood by and saw their long looked for mail
disappear piece by piece, until it was hope
