AN UNEXPECTED WITNESS.
Mrs. Lowell Testifies as TO Letters She
Copied for the Colonel.

A battle royal of wits between ex-Con-
gresham Jere Wilson and Congressman
W. G. Z. Breckenridge was expected to-day,
after the interesting sparring Of yesterday.
Both are men of the greatest ability. and.
pitted against each other as examiner and
witness, they manage to furnish a fine dis
play of mental sparring. Interest was in
tensifed, too, by the presence of two wom-
en- in the court whose faces had not been
seen before, sitting at the table with the
Pollard forces. and from the passage which
had closed the examination the day before
1t was supposed that one OF them must be
Louise Lowell. the stenographer and type
writer, who had a desk in the Capitol in
1856, and to whom letters were dictated by
Colonel Breckenridge. if the claims OF the
plaintiff be true. Mrs. Lowell is at present
a clerk in the Treasury Department, and
is a woman of short stature. with hair be-
ginning to turn gray. She wore this MORN
ing dark green gown, trimmed with mar
row gilt braid.
Judge Bradley does not seem to relish
the testimony which Colonel Brecklnridge
is giving. The Judge occupies chair be-
side the witness box but on a raised plat
form behind a ponderous desk. Whenever
Colonel Breckenridge begins to talk the
Judge wheels his chair around so that the
heavy upholstered back is turned toward
the witness, and he directs his gaze toward
a far corner window, reads legal documents
or closes his eyes. This same position was
assumed by his Honor soon after Colonel
Breckenridge stepped into the box this
morning after half an hour had been con-
sumed in examining candidates for the reg
ular April jury and excusing them until
next Monday.
Mr.. Butterworth at once opened the ques-
ton of the admissibility OF the correspond
ence alleged to have been held with Made
line Pollard in 1886.
Judge Wilson. in reply. assured the court
that the evidence had not been discovered
until Sunday, and asserted that he pro-
posed TO put the witness on the stand at
once that Colonel Breckenridge might not
be taken by surprise, and that he might
have ample time 10 make explanations The
question was raised by Mr. ButterWOrth
whether the discussion OF the proposed tes-
timony should be had before the jury.
The question said Judge Bradley, seemed
to be whether evidence tending TO show
that a paper had one time existed should
10 contradict the witness.
Mr. Butterworth, In replying. said that
while Mr.. Wilson had spoken for himself
IN saving the evidence had only been dis
he had spoken for the other counsel and
his client. Whereupon Mr.. Carlisle insisted
upon adding his assurances 10 those OF
Judge Wilson and considerable aSperity
was developed among the lawyers over the
point.
Judge Bradley inquired whether. II the
letter was in existence and Colonel Breck-
inridge denied IL II could not be produced

The Face as an Index,

Incomplete closure of the eyelids,
rendering the whites OF the eyes
visible during sleep, is symptom in
all acute and chronic diseases of a
severe type; it is also to be observed
when rest is rendered unsound by
pain, wherever seated. Twitching of
the eyelids, associated with the
oscillation of the eyeballs, or squint-
ing, heralds the visit of commissions.
Widening of the orifices of the nose,
with movements of the nostrils to
and fro, points to embarrassed
breathing, from disease of the lungs
or their pleural investment. Con-
traction of the brows indicates pain
in the chest; and a drawn upper lip,
pain in the abdomen. To make a
general rule, it may be stated that
the upper third of the face is altered
in expression in affections of the
chest; and the lower third, in diseases
of the organs contained in the abb
dOminal cavity.

D. cember
The present population of Jerusa-
lem is not far from forty thousand,
and more than half are Jews. Thew
live in a separate quarter OF their
own, as do also the various divisions
of Christians, as the Armenians, the
Greeks, and the Protestants. All
these quarters are densely built, with
narrow and irregular lanes for
streets, but the prevailing prosperity
does not seem to reach. the abOdes
of the Hebrews. The indications are
all of extreme poverty A synagogue
was pointed out bearing an incrip-
tion showing that it was the gift of
a Paris Rothschild; but it's mean
appearance and unattractive sur
roundings bore no suggestion OF
critical refinement in the congrega
tion. The articles of food set out for
sale in the petty little shops were
often squalid and repulsive. We
came so often upon spoiled salt fish
among the stores exposed by the
wonders, that we concluded it must
form regular element of diet in the
quarter. There was no visible sign
of industry by which the people
might earn their living; and no one
need be surprised to learn that in
various parts of the world the we'll
to-do and charitable Jews are regu-
larly called upon to contribute to the
support of their panper brethren in
Jerusalem.
