LEGENDARY ATTEMPT.-About 80 A. NJ
yesterday, as c. 7. VoEel, compositor in
the REcoRD-USIoN office was passing the
corner of Sixth and l. streets, on his way
home from work he observed a blaze be-
hind a bill-poster's board, which stands
close to a Chinese wash-house on the cor.
ner, and saw at glance that some one had
placed quantity of paper there and then
set ii on fire, with the intention, doubtless
of destroying the wash-house Mr.. Vogel
pulled the paper out and extinguished it
If the fire had gained good Roadway, it is
doubtful whether the Chinese occupants OF
the premises would have escaped with theil
lives.

LEARNED WITNESS.

Witnesses are often exceedingly
stupid, but we don't know whether
this witness ought to be called stupid
or not 1t was desired to get from him
an exact account of some conversation,
with the says l" and says he," but
the counsel could not make him COM
prehend the form in which he was
wanted to make his statement. So the
court took him in hand.
Now, my man, tell us exactly what
passed."
"Yes, your honor, certainly. Iwould
not have the pig"
well, what was his answer?n
He said he had been keeping the
pig for me, and that he"
mo, no; he did not say that-he
could not have said it. He spoke in
the first person"
mo; I was the first person that
spoke, your honor
II mean this: don't bring in the third
person; repeat his exact words"
There was no third person, your
honor; only him and me-"
Look here, my good fellow, he did
not say he had been keeping the pig.
He said 4 have been keeping it."
II assure you, your honor, there was
no mention of your honor's name, at
all. We are on two different stories
your honor. There was no third per-
son, and if anything had been said
about your honor l must have heard
it."
So the court had to give it up, though
the witness was only too glad to tell
all he knew.
