 Judge Cook further remarked that Attorney Raymond had included in his written document that his partner had approached him with the purpose in view of having him do the necessary work in obtaining the desired $2000, and that in compliance with that request had acted to the best of his ability. The communications received by the Judge are now in the hands of respon- sible parties connected with the Bar Association. but it is not at all likely that anything will be done in connec- tion with the matter until the trial of Hoff has been finished, as it is thought the case may affect the interests of the man now on trial for his life
 After developments may prove rather interesting to many members of the profession, and without doubt there will be a split up in the firm of Hay mond & Mcintosh

Attorneys Wonder at What Is t Come and Co-conspirators May
 Yet Disagree

Attorney Edgar Raymond of Hoff confession fame is not missing as re- ported, and from his recent actions a rumor has been circulated that he has been approached and hypnotized by a loose confession editor. The rumor seems to have rather solid founda- tion from the fact that on Sunday evening he visited the home of Judge Carroll Cook and in mild manner and with written document to back up his assertions, stated that he had been inn plicated in the desire to get $2O0O for a written document purporting to be a cold blooded statement and acknowledg- ment of the murder of Mrs. Cute. That was not all, however, that rather jared on the system of the unsuspecting Judge, as the guilty party seemed desirous of throwing the blame on his partner, Mcintosh, and from informa tion given by Judge Cook, Raymond was penitent and stated that he had carried out the plan to get the desired amount through the pleadings of his co-conspirator, and was anxious that the papers should be presented to the Bar Association for the purpose of hav- ing disbarment proceedings instituted.
 When the Hoff case was resumed in Judge Cooks court yesterday morning the air seemed to be full of mystery, and when the noon recess had been taken and the jury excused the sus- pense was over, as the Judge stated that Attorney Raymond had visited him last evening and told of his con- nection with the Hoff confession case Attorneys throughout the hall had heard of the interesting proceedings, and in consequence the court room was soon crowded by attentive listeners to hear the words of the Judge.
 Judge Cook stated that on Sunday evening Attorney Raymond had placed a written document in his hands which had implicated him in the Hoff matter and that according to the wishes of the attorney the papers had been placed in the hands of the Bar Association, and that within few days proceedings

RARE OLD LACE.
Stuart, the Male Patti, Receives It as
 a Gift From Mrs. Diaz.

Stuart, the male Patti, who has long been noted for his elegant wardrobe, has just had an addition to it which would make any lady in San Francisco envious. The addition is a piece of costly hand made lace presented to him by the wife of President DlaZ of 4,Aexico. The singer was in Mexico several months ago with the '1492 Company, and during his stay was entertained to a great extent by the Diaz family, and prior to his departure from that city he was presented with the lace, which was an heirloom in the Diaz family. The lace is a quarter of a yard wide, and Las floral design. Stuart was also made a member of the Order of Maximilian, an honor conferred upon very few, there being only 1S5 at present, and the other members are of the highest families in Mexico, many of them having been nobles before the present form of government was in order The insignia of the order is an enameled button of blue, white and gold. The center part is of white, and an inverted M in blue is in the middle of the center. Around this are bands of gold and bands of dark blue. The back of the button is of gold. Stuart is playing the part of Isabella in '1492, and some of his gowns-many of which he had made expressly for this city-are stunning"

The BLACK Hole Of Calcutta.

A scientist, writing of the black hole
of Calcutta and its atmosphere says:
ION the goth of June, 1856, about
o'clock in the evening, 146 men were
forced at the point of the bayonet into
a dungeon 18 feet square. They had
been but few minutes confined in this
internal prison before every one fell
into perspiration so profuse that no
idea can be formed of it, This brought
on raging thirst, the most difficult
respiration and an outrageous delirium.
Such was the horror Of their situation
that every insult that could be devised
against the guard without and all the
opprobrious names the viceroy and his
officers could be loaded with were re-
peated to provoke the guard to fire upon
them and terminate their sufferings.
Before / O'Clock the same evening one
third of the men were dead, and before
next morning only % came out alive,
but most of them in high putrid fe-
yer. All these dreadful effects were oc-
casioned by the want of atmospheric
air and by their breathing a super
abundant quantity of nitrogen emitted
from their lungs.

that those of our actions which inter

commonplace ones. To such matters as
eating and dressing they gave the clos
est attention Every morning when |
emerged from my tent found a large
audience waiting patiently for the per
Torrance to begin, and when l took my
place at the washstand crowd closed
round, forming large circle. They fol-
lowed the whole process with the great
est enjoyment, discussing and explain
ing to one another the various details
and now and again raising shouts OF
applause as some peculiarly amusing
feature of the performance (such as the
use of the nailbrush) occurred. When |
produced my toothbrush and proceeded
to put it to its natural use, there was
much anxious discussion, and when l
brushed my hair up and made it stand
ON end they yelled with delight.
As for the opening of a bottle Of
champagne, which occurred on one oc-
casion after an unusually long march)
it simply brought down the house, al
though the spectators somewhat abrupt
ly dispersed and viewed the remainder
of the performance around the corners
of adjacent huts. -" Freeman's Travels

A story told by John Ross Dix in his
Pulpit Portraits" shows how strong
current of life ran in the veins of DR..
Lyman Beecher when he had passed
the allotted threescore years and ten.
When about rs years of age, he spent
a fortnight in the eastern part of
Maine. A party of gentlemen at Calais
went with him some 80 miles up
series of lakes to Indian territories.
When about to embark upon chain
of lakes in the birch canoes, the Indian
guide, Etienne, rather objected to SO
old man attempting the adventure,
fearing that he would give out.
The doctor padded with the best of
the youngsters; caught more trout than
all the party together and returned each
day from the various tranps in the
lead; ate his fish on rock, with sea
biscuit for a trencher and fingers for
knives and forks; slept on the ground
upon hemlock branches under the tent,
and at length the Indian guide went
from the extreme of depreciation to the
highest expression of admiration in his
power, saying:
"Ah, old man, all Indian p

When Charles Dickens was to make
his first appearance in Boston before an
American audience as reader, an i'm
mense crowd awaited him. The en-
thusiasm of the people for the most
popular novelist then living had risen
to fever heat One of the most ardent
of his admirers afterward told this lit

with few gentlemen who wished
to welcome and show him attention l

the platform when Dickens entered it.
He was rather stout man with a some-

prise, that he was dressed in an exag-

There was gaudy bad taste in his ap-

knowing how distasteful it would be to
most of his admirers who appreciated
his genius and enjoyed his writings.

One Of the most interesting rooms is

the building and is approached by four
doors and finally by narrow passage.
1t is small room, only about 18 feet
long and ~ feet wide, with two small
windows, and is the place where the
emperor spent most of his time when
not officially employed. 1t is the room
in which he died, some say by poison
administered by himself in a fit of mel

Crimean war. The room remains just
as he left it. Near the center is plain
iron bedstead. Some chairs and few
cheap pictures adorn the room, and a

Lovemalkers Come to Grief.

An excellent anecdote was told of a
west country parsons experience the
other day. Mounted on the upper deck
ers, as the wooden denominations
where parson and CLERK took up their
places were nicknamed, the cleric in
question commanded an extensive view
of his bucolic congregation. Even the
depths Of the old fashioned high pew
failed to escape his searching chances.
In one of these pews he observed a
youth and a maiden who clasped hands
tenderly and gave themselves up to en-
dearments which even the Scriptural
exhortation of Love one another" did
not entirely warrant.
The parson was filed with great
and righteous indignation, and fixing
his glance not on the guilty pair, but ON
the west gallery, he abruptly arrested
his discourse and informed his abashed
congregation that 1.-TWO young persons
of opposite sexes were behaving in
manner that was highly INDIGENOUS and
unbecoming, and unless these sinners
came round to the vestry at the conelu-

their penitence their names would be

LITTLE LOVERS.

Nee little lovers, aged six and ten.
Aping the manners Of women and men,
He so ardent and she 50 shy
Only when somebody else is by.
When they're alone, her shyness flies,
Cupid mounts quickly his throne in her eyes,
When they re alone, this bright haired miss
Gives her wee lover soft, warm kiss
Yet sad little coquette is she;
Every attention she welcomes with glee,
Many a heart has she filled with pain,
Constant she finds it so hard to remain;
Lovers will come to her feet to WOO.
What is the dear little damsel to dor
Is it her fault that they love her so?
Is it her fault that they won't take ''No?''
Long be the lives of this little pair,
Sweetheart and maiden so bonny and fairl
Long may they live while their loves intwine
Each with the other, like stems of the vinel
Or will this baby love droop and die
Ere many years have flown hurrying by?
Then will they deem it but childish fun,
Feeling no smart since no harm has beer
done.
