Hon John @. Haskins at one time
ranked with Prince John Van Buren, and
"Sunset" Cox in the pure and breezy
timbre of his wit. The old gentleman
showed yesterday in his cross-examina-
| tion that he had lost none of his keen
ness at repartee or brilliance in spon-
| taneous humor. He had patiently
yielded to the demand for repetition after
repetition, but let slip no opportunity to
here and there. He had said that he
spoke about half an hour on subject
upon which he was being examined.
Thereupon one of the counsel for the de-
Tense insinuated that great deal could
be said in half an hour. Quick as shot
he replied that it was very possible; but
that az far as his observation had gone in
this case, it seemed to him it didn't fol-
low that half hours talk implied that
much had been said.
