claim have the entire right to those let
ters, not only by natural right, but upon all
the precedents and principles of law, as the
man who held these letters in possession
held them wrongfully. The committee that
attempted to take those letters from that
man to use against me proceeded wrong
fully. They proceeded in all boldness to a
most defiant violation of the ordinary pri-
vate and personal rights which belong to
every American citizen, and I was willing
on this floor. wanted them to introduce
it. I wanted the gentleman from Kentucky
and the gentleman from Virginia to intro
duce that question upon this floor, but they
did not do it.
Mr.. Knott lin his seat II know you did.
Mr.. Blaine-Very well.
Mr.. Knott know you wanted to be
made martyr of. [Laughter.]
Mr.. Blaine-And you did not want to,
and there is the difference. Laughter and
apphuse.] I go little further; You did
not dare to.
aNow, Mr.. Speaker" continued Mr.
Blaine, II say that I have deied the power
of the House to compel me to produce
those letters. speak with all respect to
this House. know its powers, and trust
1 respect them. But say this House has
no more power to order what shall be done
or not done with my private correspond
ence than it has with what shall do in the
nurture and education Of my children

in the one case as it is in the other.
But, sir, having vindicated that right,
standing by it ready to make any sac

any gentleman wants to take issue with me on
behalf Of this House, I am ready for any ex-
tremity of contest or conflict in behalf Of SO
sacred right. And while am 60 lam moi
afraid to show the letters. Thank God Al
mighty, I am not ashamed to show them.

her husband, and perhaps by the law of
sympathies. a husband massacres his
once Juliet. A mnney-lender had just
time tn ring and inform his clerk that he
had taken poison, when he fell down and
expired. The parents of an infant, aged

time; on returning everything had been
Knocked about, but nothing stolen, and
the child was found lying at the bottom Of
a washing tub of water, drowned. Two
women quarreled over common lover

bad been very beautiful. She has
been in the hospital for five
months. One eye was burned to

face and shoulders, following tue photos

the doctor, are the consequence OF
mothers living in unhealthy homes. as
when residing in a pure region, their
offspring are ever healthy. The epidemic
of measles exhibits this popularity; it is
most viruent in the most healthy quarters
OF the city. The weekly births continue
to repre- sent about the same number OF

Durability of BANK of ENGLAND \ otes


The album in which specimens Of the
various counterfeits discovered are pre-
served, also contains some interesting
proofs of the extraordinary durability of
the notes. There are three notes for
twenty-five pounds which passed through
the Chicago fire. and were sent in for
redemption by Mr.. II. II. Nottin, Pay
master of the Chicago and Alton Railway.
Though they are burnt to a crisp black
ash, the paper is scarcely broken, and the
engraving is as clear as in a new note.
There are also five fve-pOund notes
which went to the bottom of the sea in the
unfortunate training-ship Eurydice, and
were recovered after six months INNER
sion. They are not even frayed. The
paper is stained a light brown, and that
is the only effect their long exposure to
salt water has had. We are shown in a
small case covered with a magnifying
glass few charred fragments of paper
for which the bank paid 81, 400. They are
the remains of several notes destroyed in
fire, and were redeemed at their full
value, the owners being able to give their
numbers and dates, and to satisfy the
bank that they had actually been de-
strOyed. There is another note in the
album which was in circulation 125 years
before il was returned to the Bank for
payment. No note is issued twice. AS
soon as a note is returned, even though it
has been out but a few hours, il is can
celled. Very often a note issued in the
morning is brought back to the bank in
the afternoon of the same day, but on an
average a five-pound note is out about
eighty days. The notes have many
strange adventures. One of a large
denomination was found keeping the wind
away in the broken pane of a cottage
window, neither the cOttager nor his wife
having any idea Of its value. Another,
also for large sum, the disappearance
which had led to many wrongful suspi-
cions and accusations, was discovered,
after many years, inclOsed in the wall of
the house from which it had mysteriOusly
disappeared. One thing the notes will
not endure. They will hold together at
the bottom Of the sea, and come out of
furnace intact, but they win not outlast
the scrubbing, the bleaching and the
mangling Of the laundry. That trial, to
which they are sometimes subjected
through the inadvertence of ladies who
send them to the wash in their dress
pockets. usually defaces them, though
even after it their genuineuess is still
recognizable,

A Hinsdaie Man on Trial for Starving
an Aged Relative to Death.
The trial of Charles D. Barrett, of Hins-
dale, for manslaughter, says Pittsield,
N. H., special of the 18th inst. to the Bos-
ton Globe, opened in the District Court
this morning. Barrett was arrested April
Z, and was held in $4,000. He is a native
OF Hinsdaie, his father being one of the
first settlers. Barrett is 45 years old, and
has been twice married. Matilda. a
maiden aunt of his, so years old, decided
the farm and stock at Hinsdale to him, it
having become hers through the will of
her brother. In the transfer it was par
ticularly stated that Matilda should live
with Barrett during her lifetime, be cared
for, clothed and fed in health or sickness.
The deed was dated July %. 1879. During
the past winter it is alleged that Matilda
was shamefully neglected, starved, as
saulted and poorly clad. She was found
by the selectmen January l in bed with
hay and filth frozen on her body, and the
thermometer at zero. Everything was
then done for her comfort, but the old
lady died January 9. Meanwhile Barrett
decided the farm and stock to his son Ed
ward, who Immediately went to HOlyOke
and into the livery business.
The case has created great interest i'm
Hinsdale, many citizens being present at
the trial to-day. Lawyer Filley, of Pitts
field, appeared for the commonwealth,
and Samuel w. BOwerman for the de-
tense. A dozen witnesses for the prose-
cutiOn were sworn, and the morning was
occupied by the testimony of Selectman
Cook, of Hinsdale. He said that he visited
Matilda two days prior to her death; she
wore a loose wrapper and a few other
clothes; she was in a cold room hugging
the stove, the mattress of her bed being
filled with hay, which was Iumpv and
frozen. There were two big rocks in the
bed to keep her feet Warm. Witness
! notified Barrett that he must feed and
clOthe Matilda better; he replied that
he was not responsible; that he had con-
signed her care to another. He Was sum-
mOned to the Selectmen's office and told
| he was liable to indictment. He promised
/ to do all he could. The physician pre-.
/ scribed beef juice and brandy, and said
/ that Matilda had no organic disease. The
| SelectmeD instructed Barrett to get this
! food, but did not know that he did so.
/ Matilda died next day.
/ Selectman Clark testified this afternoon
| substantially the same. He said that she
/ ate all her food from an old black tin cup.
( and was poorly clad.
/ The case was adjourned till Tuesday
morning. The trial will probably last fou
! days. Nearly 80 witnesses will be called
/ The defense will be that Barrett was no
responsible, as he had decided the prOpert,
| to another under the same conditions al
! thOse'under which he received it.
