How He Won lis Case.

Sir John Barnard Byles, was a nan
of singular shrewdness, penetration,
and originality. A Unitarian, in religion
and a sincere one, he was Tory in
politics, and wrote what ne conceived
to be an exposure of what he called
1.-The Sophism of Free Trade. But
although he may, like Mr. Tulliver in the
The Mill on the Floss have arrived
by untrammeled speculation nj some
questionable conclusions, Byles was al
ways clever and always ingenious,
Moreover, he had the valuable quail
ity of not being afraid to run risks, as
the following excellent anecdote clearly
shows: HE was retained for the de
PENDANT with Mr.. afterwards Mr.. JUS
tice) Wells, whom he led at the bar,
but who was afterwards his senior in
the Court of Common Pleas, in a case
of some complication tried before Chief
Justice Jervis
At the end of the day Saturday Mr..
Byles submitted that there was 10
case, and the Judge rose, to give his
decision next week In the interval
Wells asked Byles Why he did not take
n particular point which both had agreed
in consultation to be fatal to the plain
tiff case. i left that to the Chief
Justice, said Byles. i led up to it,
and walked round it, so that he cannot
miss it, but if had taken it he would
have decided against us at once.

judgment overriding all the points tax

plaintiff on a ground which, he said. he
was astonished to find had not been
taken BY either of the very learned
counsel for the defendant, but which,

THE publication in the Wheeling In
|telligencer of Thursday, that the where+
abOuts, at Gorham, Montana, of Samuel
B. McColloch, ex-clerk of the circuit
court of Wheeling, was ascertained be-
yond any question, created sensation
only second to his mysterious and sud-
den disappearance. A clue to his hiding
place was developed by letter written
to Mr.. John Frew, one of,theiproprietors
of the IntelligeDcer, under the name OF
Samuel Brown, asking for file of The
paper from about the time he left, Nov.
II, 1883, up to Feb. 1884. The request
was an unusual one, and led Mr.. Frew to
give the matter considerable thought.
He examined the papers about the period
named and found that the chief matter
of startling local interest they contaiaed
was in reference to the disappearance of
McCulloch. The hand writing of the
letter was then scrutinized, and submit+
ted to an intimate friend of the lost man
and compared with the writing in the
court records, and it was concluded that
beyond question it was the writing of
McCulloch. Mr.. Frew then wrote to
McC., telling him he was known; where
upon be acknowledged that he was the
veritable Sam McCulloch, who left
Wheeling in 'S3. and from whom his wife
and family have not had line since.
Mr.. Frew prevailed upon him to write
his wife. who has been living at Manga
tuck, Conn, and it was agreed between
them that they would join each other as
soon as he could provide home for her.
Mr.. McCulloch has been roughing it
since his mysterious escapade, and when
heard from was a trackman on line of
railroad.

he seems more intent on mischief than
on deeds expressive of good will. After
Tan absence of six months he was noticed

said as no damage was done. On Fri
day night he destroyed the flower gar

late corn in the ields-and was even
caught changing the "face of the re,
