Not a Good Witness.

We are told that as one of the Win

before the county court of Clarke
upon charge of larcency-was about
to leave that city for Berryvlle he
saw onthe street a person summoned as

on hand TO testify. The person. whose
name is Charles Mcfarland. replied
that he had no way to get to Berry.

IN the attorneys buggy, and driven
To this place. After testifving in
behalf of the accused, Mcfarland
took a seat in the attorneys buggy to
wait until that gentleman was ready
10 return TO Winchester. The buggy
was hitched where other like vehicles
were standing, and as one of them
contained hat and others lap robes.
and the weather being cool, McFar-
land borrowed the hat and three lap
robes to make himself more comfor-

ed about the way in which their
property was being used, and not be

with such excessive liberty, they had
Mcfarland arrested, and upon his
case being heard by Justice Grow he
was sentenced 10 serve six months in

to the attention of the holland Jury

Long sueeches.

that delivered by Edmund Burke, in
Westminster Hall, before the House of
Lords, on the trial of Warren Hast
ings, aforementioned of India.
ruary, 1888, in speech which lasted
four days, and which will ever rank
amongst the masterpieces of eloquence
in the English language. On the 21st
and 25th of April and the 5th and 7th
of May, 1889, he opened the sixth
charge in another speech, or, rather,
series of orations. On the Both of
April, 1894, he presented to the House
of Commons an elaborate report, fill
ing 200 printed octave pages, on the
whole parliamentary law of impeaeh-
ments, in the name of a committee
which had been appointed to inspect
the Lords journals in relation to their
proceedings on this trial. Finally, on
the 2Sth of May in the same year, he
commenced his concluding address on
the impeachment, which continued fer
nine days, All these speeches have
been published since his death, FROM
notes in which he spent the leisure
of the last years of his life in pre-
pairing, and which he enjoined his ex-
ecutors to give to the world. The trial,
having lasted over $50 sittings, spread
over seven years, came to an end on
the 23d of April, 1895, when Hastings
was acquitted on all the charges,
unanimously, on all that affected his
personal honor.

wbat Otbers Tbouebt.

The following anecdote of Henry
Clay was told by one of his personal
friends, according to the Baltimore
American: While making the journey
to Washington on the National road,
just after his nomination as candidate
for the presidency, he was travelling
one stormy night, wrapped in a huge
cloak, on the back of stage coach,
when two passengers entered. These
were Kentuckians, like himself He
fell asleep, and when awoke found
them discussing his chances in the
coming campaign. What did Henry
Clay go into politics for?" said one.
HE had a good bit of land; he had
a keen eye for stock. If he had stuck
to stock-raising he'd have been worth
his $500 But now he doesn't own
dollar" And" the great Kentuckian
used to add, the worst of it was, every
word of it was true!" 1t was charac-
teristic of the man that at the next
stopping place he hurried away and
took another coach, lest his critics
should recognize him and be mortified
at their unintentional rudeness.

the hands in powdered alum and water
for few seconds, dry them, then dust
them over with powdered club moss.

The Christian, the Free cite.

The Christian life is not the i'm
prisoning life, it is the free life. Sin
imprisons, sins FORCES the letters and
binds them fast on mind and soul, but
righteous is always an emancipation.
Faith breaks off the shackles. The
soul of the. believer is not like a shrub
rooted in tight box, whose upward
development is always conditioned and
restricted by the cramping boards
about its roots, but finds its symbol
rather in a tree planted by the rivers
of water, whose branches spread free
ly out to all the airs of Heaven, or in
sturdy cedar of Lebanon, whose roots
strike down into MASSEY mountain for
base, and whose trunk. is strong
against all the storms that blow The
sinner is the last man of whom it can
be said that he is free; the Christian
has yet by any man or confederacy of
men to be made a slave.

Migratory Instinct OF the Fur.sea,.

In paper read before the British
association on the habits of the fur
seals of Boring sea Mr.. Barrett Hamil-
ton pointed out the remarkable mi
gratory instincts of these animals. I'm
like migratory birds they could have
no possible landmarks to guide them.
Perhaps they were guided by the tenn
perature of the water, or perhaps they
followed the migration of certain food
fishes. From the time they left the
islands in autumn they were found
scattered over the greater part of the
ocean, until about January the pelagic
sealers found them in bands slowly
moving northwards. each towards its
own islands. Unerring as is its migra-
tory instinct, the animal is in many re-
spects extremely stupid. 1t has APP
parently no sense Of terror at the sight
of the death of it's comrades and the
same individual may be driven time
after time to the killing ground.

call is to preach the evangei with COM
