GREENFIELD Mass, July rs, 1881
When the second week of the O'Neil trial
opened this morning it was learned that
the defence would be able to close its
case before adjournment tonight If good
progress were made.
The crowd at the Court House was as
large as usual and the interest in the
fight of the lawyers for the prisoner was
not diminished.
Thomas ONeil, brother of the defend
ant, was the first witness called. He
stated that on going home to supper, on
the evening of the murder, he met John
coming out of the house. John went
down town, the witness said and was re-
turning when witness started down town,
later. The brothers met on the bridge
and John said he was on his way to the
"Hut" to spend the evening. Witness
said he didn't know where John got his
money nor did he know that any of the
family had it to give him..
Dennis O'Brien the next witness. said
he saw O'Neil on the bridge at GAO and
again at $40. On the latter occasion he
came from the auckland side: He fixed
the time positively for he looked atsthe
clock.

MODJESKA'S HOME.
Quaint and Beautiful Place, Not
Far from Los Angeles.

4 Quaint and Beautiful Place, Not
Far from Los Angeles.
Connoisseurs in art and lovers of
nature, some years ago she and her
husband came by chance upon wild
and beautiful spot in the mountains of
the coast range, about so miles south
east of Los Angeles, which took such
hold upon their fancy that they were
never satisfied until they had estab-
lished their resting headquarters there.
And, indeed, one could scarcely imag-
inc more ideal retreat than this.
Far away from the hurry and busAe,
up in canyon where are purling
streams, and nodding ferns, and spread
ing live-oaks, nestled within cres-
cent of the mountains, is the unpreten-
tious white frame villa-"Arden" they
have called this mountain home, in
honor of Shakespeare's Forest of Ar
den." Here Modjeska comes each sum-
mer to spend as much time as her busy
life will permit The drive from the
fertile Santa Ana valley leads through
the Santiago canyon, one of the most

and is charming beyond description.
So gradual is the ascent, that one passes
from an elevation of 500 feet above the
sea level to $500 feet, scarcely realizing
that one has been climbing The road
winds through groves of immense live
oak, sycamore trees, whose branches
are festooned with wild grapevine,
woodbine and other creepers, and
crosses again and again a beautiful
mountain stream. Here and there
stand out great punches of the tall
white California poppies, and in their
season the stately yuccas, crowned
with their great white panicles, the
feathery elder, the white clematis and
large beds of cactus, brilliant with their
beautiful yellow and crimson blossoms
and ripe "tunas." The crested road
runners scamper ahead of the horses;
the doves call across the canyon, and
hocks of startled quail whirr from
ooverts by the roadside.
At last we find ourselves at the en-
trance to the Modjeska canyon, which
widens into magnificent natural park.

HOW TO POLISH SILVER.

Dear friends, tale I'll tell 0hough per-
haps you know It welD,
How to polish up the silver till It shines.
Without labor when you're tired, house
keeper or help that's hired
/ will tell you all about it in these lines.
Peel potatoes three or four-though If
small you might peel more
Boil them just about three-quarters of an
hour;
While they're boiling add some salt, or the
whole will be in fault,
And your temper turned from sweet to
awful sour.
Take a tarnished silver mug, spoon or
sugar bowl, or Jug
Put them in and lei q hem boil little
while;
When you take them out you'll find that
the tarnish stayed behind,
And their brightness, / am sure, will
make you smile.
Good Housekeep
