LAST WORDS.

That Pierce Bostock executed the
will and article of manumission before
leaving Mississippi, that he secreted
it in his house, forgot to take it with
him, apparently forgot the fact that he
had done it, and never mentioned it to
anybody, were things that, to my mind,
were perfectly consistent with his con-
dition of mind after the deed The
witnesses, Mr.. Dorion said, were OBJ
scure white men of the vicinity 1t
was not necessary for them to know,
and they doubtless were not informed
as to the character of the instrument
any more than that it was last will and
testament. They were not men much
given to gossip, and Mr.. Bostock could
easily satisfy them not to mention the
circumstance. His extreme caution in
secreting the paper was a natural part
OF the terror and dread of disclosures
about Coralie which possessed him
after the duel That the will was his
deliberate act appeared when it was
seen that he, not being lawyer. had
informed himself as to how to execute
it legally The proof was very strong
that his mind failed sadly after his re-

1t is the inte:.tion, II his testimony shall war

next and to follow up the clue as fully as it
can be done. 1t has been stated that Senators
Brice and Smith participated in this CONVEX
sation as well as Messrs Havemeyer and Ter
roll and other members OF tho sugar trust,
and that besides growing very indignant over
the then apparent intention OF Congress TO
fail to provide any protection for 1ugar, Mr..
Hayemeyer assured these Senators that the
propec protection of sugar by Congress would
cause an appreciation of sugar stock TO the
extent of thirty points In as many days. and
that Mri CASTOR heard all this and more. and
afterwards stated what he had heard to 9TH
ers. II his testimony should confirm these
statements it will then be the purpose OF the

A Mile a Minute at Sea.


A Welsh engineer has prepared designs for
vessel which he claims will attain speed Of
sixty miles an hour. His proposed vessel is
fat bottomed. $50 feet long, so feet in width,
wedge shaped at each end for 100 feet of her
length, with displacement OF some l4.G00
tons. Such a vessel, fitted with sixteen pad
die wheels, driving at ITO revolutions min
ute. this sanguine inventor believes would be
propelled through the water at the rate OF
sixty miles an hour. This would be breaking
the record with vengeance, for the Luciano,
which has just eclipsed all previous perform
ances, averaged barely twenty-five miles an
hour. The sixteen paddle wheels Of the pro-
posed express passenger steamer would be
placed eight on each side, one behind the
other in n water channel running fore and aft
just above the ships bottom. They are OF
peculiar construction, the paddle always
maintaining perpendicular position, and
always entering and leaving the water at ex-
actiy the same point.

There was thrilling scene on Pennsylvania
avenue yesterday morning. At Tenth street
an old man, evidently near seventy from
his gray hairs and feeble appearance. was
standing on the cable car track and looking
west while the cars were approaching from
the east. The passengers on the gripsent up
a shout of warning, but when he became con-
scious of his danger it was too late to
make any effort to get Out of the way. The
spectators expected to see him instantly pros
tr1ted and mang!ed; but with great presence
Of mind he sprang and seized the top of the
dashboard OF tine advancing grip, clinging to
it, supported by the arms OF friendly pas
senger until the car was stopped. He was then

parently as unconcerned as if he had not been
