ONE CROSS EXAMINER.
He Wasn't Gentleman and He Didn't
Come From Virginia.

lie wasn't gentleman and He EN6Tl't
Come From Virginia.
In Kentucky an unfortunate merchant
saw bankruptcy confronting him, and to
save a portion of his property he invoked
tie name of his wife and the assistance of
g friend. The creditors instituted proceed
ings to recover certain property, and in the
course of the proceedings this friend, ma
tive of Virgins, was put upon the stand.
All went well until tho witness was sub
jcctcd to II rigid cross examination by
lawyer himself q native of Virginia. Tho
witness went laundering along at such
rate that his lawyer felt it necessary to in
terfcrc and tell him that he was not re-
CURED to answer questions which would
criminatc himself
After the close of tho case, which ro-
suited disastrously for our accommodating
friend from Virginia, he expressed great
indignation ut the humiliation to which
he had been subjected. II was never in
my life treated with SO little courtesy"
he said. "Thc opposing counsel did not
act at all like a gentleman, sir. expected
entirely different treatment, especially as
learned that he was from Virginia, and
he knew that l was from that state. No,
sir, in the old days no Virginia gentleman,
sir, would cause another Virginia gentle
man the slightest embarrassment because
of SO paltry matter, nor would he seek
by set interrogatorics to make him contra
dict himself, No, sir, it is objectionable,
sir, and all for the purpose of increasing
the dividends of a few Yankee clients
whom he never saw. l am convinced, sir,
that your lawyer never came from Virgin
in at all, sir. He must have come from
West Virginia. "-Louisville Post.

The word prevaricator is from tho Latin
and originally meant straddler with dis.
torted or misshapen legs. In the Roman
courts of law the expression was applied
to one who in suit was discovered to BIO
in COLLISION with his opponent to compass
some dishonesty. As falsehood was the
necessary part of such performance, the
word by and by came to have the signifi-
canoe at present attached to it.

TOLEDO, o., February About 4
o'clock this morning a terrific explosion
awakened the people Of the village OF

in blowing open the safe, bad demellSn-
