had told Mrs. Gleason that ths boys had been complained of in the neighborhood for boyish pranks. Mrs. Gleason once showed her smalf discoloration on the face, and said Gleason had pushed her in an altercatfon and his hand touched her faee This mark was so slight that she didn't notice 1t until Mrs. Gleason called her attention to it. Mrs. Gleason told her that she had got in violent passion, she had attacked him and he pushed her away. The boys described her treatment of them as ssnaggfng.u
 Miss Laura Root absented herself from the state to avoid testifying, but 6 depo- sition from her was read, after some ob- jection, testifying to having seen Mrs Gleason and Dr. Pomeroy in compro- mising position. This was the main evil dence upon which the adultery change was based, and Miss Root is now defend ant in $10, ,0O0 libel suit brought by Dr. Pomeroy, which suit Miss Root and Mir. Gleason's friends claim was brought for validating her testimony.
 The court adjourned from Friday until Tuesday, when the first witness called vas Dr. Houghton. One point of his. .ev- idenee was that Mrs. Gleason made at one time a most peculiar remark which convinced him that she was not fit per- son for MT. Gleason to live with. He a1- so said that Mrs. G's. attacks of hysteria were often feints, as he had demonstrated by tests.
 The evidence of the defence consisted chiefly of that of physicians avering Mrs. Gleason's mental condition, the chief of these admitting that he had attended Mrs. G. gratuitously out of professional courtesy to Dr. Pomeroy. Letters from Mir. Gleason to Mrs. o., written after their separation, were read. These were not particularly important, nor other than might have been expected under the cir cumstances, certainly in their tenor moi damaging to the cause of the plaintiff.
 Mrs. Gleason testified in her own be. half. She indignantly denied all of the testimony given by Dr. Houghton, and ir the deposition of Miss Root, damaging to her reputation. She charged Mr. Glea- son with violent treatment and language. She disavowed recollection of what hap. pened during her fits of hysteria. She had never attempted suicide save on the occasion at the lake, when in her excite. ment she tried to throw herself into the water Her first trouble with MT. Mea. son, she says, began with his saying that he desired not to have any children by her.
 Dr. Pomeroy's testimony was denial of any improper relations between him. self and Mrs. Gleason, and explanation oi the circumstances referred to in Miss Roots deposition. He had never made charges foi professional services to MT. Gleason. He knew he was in embarrass- ed circumstances, and wouldh have con- sidered tender of payment an insult.
 It is expected that to-day all testimony will be in and arguments begun upon.

JoHNNY's COMPOSITION.
THE CAT.

The cat is very interesting animal. He is 8 small fur dog that meows, and has whiskers and several other things, He has four paws fore paws and two behind ones-and tail. He has been known for many years, two of him having been said to be on the Ark, where he must have been tied up,ror what would have become of the rats? Cats don't get to be cats until they are year old, when they stop being kittens, which they are born as. It takes kitten several weeks to get his eyes open, if he doesn't get drownded before that time, and he scratch es when he is mad. My father says cam els used to be cats, but got their backs up one day and couldn't get them down again, and so became camels. I never heard camel meow, but suppose they can, because they can do most anything, having seven stomaehs and going many days without water. se
 The dictionary says . eat is . carnfvor- ons quadruped, but that does not sound like cat. The old Egyptians used to be very fond of the cat, treating him like a member of their own family, and making mummies out of him when he died. Some of these munmies still live. They used to hang people for killing cats in Egypt, because the cat was supposed to be sa- cred animal, being 8 sign of the moon, probably because they are generally out all night. We have cat named Tom, and he has six kittens, which he washes their face every day just like me.
 = Cats never fall out of anything without landing on their feet, which is why their feet are so soft, and they have to be kill ed nine times before they die, and some times they don't even then. They eat milk when tame, and when wild they cry like baby until somebody comessto see what is the matter, and then they eat him, which Is fatal, and teaches people to mind their own business, and not go seeing what sother peoples children are crying for.
 A cats eye is very queer thing, look ing like 8 slot machine all day and an agate at night, seeing better in the dark than in the light, like witches. There fore they are said to4be friends of witches, and some people don't like them on that account, but I do.
 The two best cats that ever lived be- longed to Dick Whittington, Mayor. of London, who went out west and killed a lot of rats at 8 dollar head, and took the money home to his master to get to be Mayor with, and Fuss in Boots, who stole his masters clothes and ate giant, thereby making his master owner of the farm and husband of rich girl, whose father died and left it all to her.
 My cat can't do anything like this, but he gets there just the same, and is very gentle to my little brother, who pulls his tail, and doesn't have to wish he hadn't.
 Altogether don't know what we should do without cats, especially those that like to have them laying around just as we do.
 Yours truly, JOHNNY.

 SENATOR PRESTON PLUMB, of Kansas, died of apoplexy on Sunday, the result of over-work. The senator was hard work CT. A robust and apparently healthy man he bade fair to round out 6 green old age. He did the work of two men, being busted from early morn to the latest hours Overtaxed nature gave warning, and physicians consulted advised rest, He felt over confident, toiled on, and the result was an apoplectic stroke, which quickly ended life worth much to the republic. He was but A years of age. The governor of Kansas will appoint his successor, to serve until the convening of the next legislature.
 CONGRESSMAN MILLs does not conceal his disappointment over his loss of the speakership. He refused at the caucus to make the customary motion of unan- unity when majority voted for MT. Crisp; he refused to escort Mir. Crisp to the speakers chair when elected; he took . back place when the early drawing of his name gave opportunity to select a good seat for the session, ,and in all ways showed his displeasure at the success of his rival. Asa consequence Mir. Crisp now resents all this and will not give him as good 2 place on committees as he has expected. He offered him second place on the ''ways and means"-the most important com mittee, and of which Mir. Mills was chair man in the last democratic house. This place MT. Mills naturally refuses to take. The result will besa coolness between the adherents.afsthe two democratic leaders. The feeling Is wholly personal. MT. Mills and MT. Crisp do not materially differ in views on the tariff, silver or other ques. tiens of importance to come up during the session

The body of Mrs. Mary l.. Munson was found Monday night at shelton with two pistol-shot wounds and several terrible gashes in her skull. It was evident that she had been murdered. In her arms was her young child, crying piteously. Mrs. Sarah White, who lives in an adjoining tenement, heard quarreling between Mrs. Munson and man whose voice she thought she recognized as that of John Hawley, 8 negro. She heard 1t early in the evening and continued for some time, then she heard blows and shots. She sent Robert s. Lye after the police, who found bloody ax in the house, but no pistol. Hawley was arrested. Hawley had been very intimate with Mrs. Munson, and the latter was shot at about year ago by Hawley's wife.

Gov. RUSSELL, of Massachusetts, has made requisition upon Gov. Bulkeley for tho return to that state of Jailor Sibley, of Brooklyn, indicted by Mass. grand jury for bringing prisoner to Connecti- cut, from that state, against his will, and without requisition. It Is not eertan that Gov. Bulkeley will grant the acquisition. Mir. Sibley, aeeoEdi6gt to his own version, has committed no crime. The prisoner in question was man named Phillips, serving sentence for drunkenness, and had managed to escape. He was heard of in Lowell, and Sheriff Sibley, who is also the jailor, went after him. With the assistance of local officers the arrest was made, Phillips making struggle and handcuffs being necessary to secure him. He was taken to Boston, and while theNe he was persuaded to come back to this state without the formality of extradition. He evidently had made up his mind what to do and played 1t on the officer, for no sooner had he reached here than he began proceedings to get the sheriff into trou- ble. Sibley says that Phillips while in fhes Boston depot was visited by friends who advised shim not te TO hack. The shariff told hIm that the only elect If his refusal would be to get himself looked mp while necessary papers were secured, the cost of getting which would fall upon him. He therefore came, but evidently had in his mind plot to make trouble for the officer. It seems to be a small affair anyway.

testimony of old citizens living along
the line between Virginia and Tonnes
see to be used in the suit of Virginia VS..
Tennessee, now pending in the United
States Supreme Court, have gone to
Cumberland Gap for the purpose of tax
ing dispositions in that locality. This
suit is being fought hard by both sides,
as there is a good deal of valuable terri
tory involved in it. If Virginia should
win she would get about One-half of six
Tennessee counties, including the tow IN
of Bristol, Cumberland Gap, including
the big railroad tunnel of the Louisville

Virginia & Georgia railroads, several
miles of the Knoxville, Cumberland
Gap & Louisville, and the East Tennes-
see, Virginia & Georgia. The country
involved is rich in minerals and timber,
and is about eight miles in breadth and
$50 miles in length, or somewhere in the
neighborhOod of 1000 square miles, con-
tanning a population of 35, 900 souls, who
