on one occasion q pair of pantaloons,
but said they were not the pair ex-
hibited in court; that he had purchased
8 pair from Mr.. E. Goldsmith of a
different fabric, which did not fit him
and had given them to her. Mr.. Gold
smith, who was present, corroborated
his statement as to the purchase. Mr..
Welsh was sworn and he testified that

A.well and that she told him she got
them from Mr.. Spear. Mrs. Atwell
was very positive in her assertion that

hioited, minutely describing the circum-
stances in connection Herewith. The
Mayor concluded to send the case on
to the grand jury, and held Mrs. AT
well in the sum of 5000 for her appear
ance He compelled Mr.. Spear to fur

From the London Telegraph.

An up-todate disciple OF Charles V. of
Spain has held at a village of the Yonne
department, in France, a kind of dress re-
hearsal of his funeral while yet in the
land Of the living. For the past year,
gravediggers and masons had been en-.
gagged in preparing the gentleman's tomb,
and he had surveyed the work with low
ing care When everything was ready he
had handsome marble slab put up, with
the date of his birth and the list of his
titles and distinctions, winding up with
the comforting assurance that he had
been good father and a law
abiding citizen" inscribed thereon.
On his 95th birthday all his
friends and acquaintance were invited To
the rehearsal of his funeral. A solemn
burial service took place at the church,
and his empty coffin. placed under cata-
falque and surrounded with wax candles,
received an anticipatory blessing. To
cheer up his guests, whom this lugubri-
Gus ceremony must have somewhat de-
pressed, he then babe them repair 10 his
house, where grand banquet took place,
at which the beadle, the choristers and
the priests who are TO ofiiciate at his real
funeral were present. Each guest
pledged his word in a bumper Of cham
payne that II he were still living az the
time, he would not fail 20 assist" az the
funeral ceremony Of which the rehearsal
had Just been gone through, The real
event may not come OF yet awhile, for
this imltator Of the famous emperor Is
still quite bale and hearty In spite Of his
95 summers.
