CLEARED HIS CLIENT.
Aaron 5urr's Spectacular and Ora
matic Accusation In q Mur-
der Trial.

It is undoubtedly true that in for
mer times in all parts of the country
it was considered more important and
more CTeditable to save a mans life
or liberty than to get a verdict where
property only was concerned. These
days have passed, however, as far as
New York is concerned, and in a lesser
degree, possibly, in nearly all the other
states, and despite the agitation on the
subject they are never likely to re
turn. Tt is interesting to turn back
to the earliest days of the republic
and the careers of two lawyers who
would have been giants in any age or
in any country and who were antag
Onistic in character and purpOse-Alex-
ander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Both
men accepted criminal as we'll as civil
cases. One of the greatest efforts Of
Hamilton's life was his appearance for
one CrossweIl. charged with publish
ing a ScandalOus libel upon Thomas
Jefferst& The court was divided in
its verdict. but the prisoner was never
punished.
Aaron Burr, that erratic genius who
lacked a balance wheel is said never
to have lost case in which ne alone
was counsel. 1t is also Of record that
he won case in which by a queer
trick Of fate his associate counsel was
Hamilton 1t was a murder case. The
actions and manner Of the principal
witness against the prisoner seemed
to Burr exceedingly suspicious, and it
is said that both Burr and Hamilton
were undecided in their own mines
which was the guilty party-the wit
ness or the prisoner. HamiltOn'S sum
ming up was perfunctOry. Burr be-
gan to address the jury when it was
nearly dark. The witness for the
prosecution was leaning against d pill
/ lar. His face was pallid and covered
with perspiration. He listened intent
! ly to the lawyer. Suddenly Burr seiE-
! ed a large candelabrum, and, throw
ing the light on the face of the wit
ness, shouted, Behold the murderer,
gentlemeG" The witness turned and
rushed from the courtroom and the
prisoner was acQuitted.-F. P. Ward
in Harper's Weekly.

TECUMSEH'S MISSING BUST.
The Reason 1t Was Taken From Its
Niche In the Capitol.

Where is the bust Of TecUmseh
that used to be in niche on the sen
ate side Of the capitol" Richard Liv-
fngston, 4 student of American his
tory. asked recently.
81 know that years ago there was q
fine bronze bust Of an Indian, and the
name TecumSeh was on the pedestal.
and as TecUmseh was about the most
famous Indian chief of our school his
tory books every American boy took
more interest in surveying his fea-
lures than i'm looking over the faces Of
eminent white men in the big build
ing. I walked all over the building
and saw Indians enough in paintings
and statuary. also some live ones, but
no Tecumseh. Then l hunted up my
congressman. and he went through a
guideboOk-no use. Then we ques-
toned the guides. They had not
heard of a Tecumseh bust, and most
of them asked. What state was the
senator FROM
u was about TO give it up. Then a
sOmber sort of chap with silk hat
and a red flower in his huttonhOle re-
lieved my anxiety. He explained
what / had not thought Of before, and
that was The fact that Tecumseh was
killed in battle wearing the uniform
Of a British general. He died fight
ing the American flag Why should
he be hOnored with bust in the cap
itol?
And then | was told that the Tp
cumseh bust really had been Ia the
capitol for many years until one day q
wise senator. familiar with the history
of his country. made a protest. That
sent the Tecumseh bust TO the cellar
or to some museum here i'm town. -

WAR OF THE WALKS.
Numerous Incidents of the Right Of
Way on the Streets Of
Havana.

Between 2 and o'clock in the after
noon Havana begins to revive from
the lun which falls at about II, for,
although this city no longer frankly
retires to sleep the siesta as she ought,
she does doze duly in the mOti0niess
thick heat of midday.
After one sees ladies venturing
forth in twos and threes to the streets
where the best shops are. This is the
hour in which to witness. if one has
eyes and humOr for it, a whole series
of comic occurrences.
Havana's sidewalks are narrow,
and their lack of width gives rise to
some local customs and a deal Of heart
burning. One does not keep hard to
the right, regardless, in approaching
another person travelling along the
narrow tagging in the opposite direc-
tion. One must take under advise
ment sex, age, color and present cOndf-
ton Of servitude as blazOned forth for
all to read in the details of personal
attire.

Of the walk, stepping down when
necessary to let them pass. Serving
people, regardless Of age and sex, and
all others who so humble themselves
as TO carry packages are expected to
yield the walks to their supeTiors, who
then are about everybody they meet.
Frequently, Of course, it is difficult
to make in the fash of turning a cor
ner all the nice calculations requisite
to deciding VINO shall have the walk
and who shall surrender it.
know Of nothing funnier than to
watch two fairly we'll dressed and cor
pulent Cuban ladies determining. as
they stand t0ttering, face to face on a
foot wide tagging the whole delicate
problem of their relative rank. The
! one arrayed in The giddiest garment
| seems usually TO win.
II there is small choice in color and
! cost between the pink costume of one
and the blue costume Of the other

the Red river. 4 rife fire was direct
ed upon her decks from the COnfed
crate skirmishers on the shore At
enc point the river widened out and
the channel meandered through an
open stretch of comparatively shallow
water. AS the Lexington reached this
open stretch the man at the wheel. who
had been replaced once or twice dur
ing the trip. was struck by a well di-
rected shot from the bank. The little
vessel turned Sidewise to the current
the narrow channel. A squad of Con
federate cavalry, led by General Green
and Ex-Governor MOutOn, seized the
opportunity for brilliant coup. They
rode out through the shadows, the wa

horses. keeping up such a sharp fire
that the decks of the gunbOat had to
be abandoned. The cavalry reached
the edge of the channel. and it seemed
for a moment as if they would be able
to get on board and take possession
of the vessel. II their attempt had
been successful the vessel would have
been sunk where she lay and the chan
mel would have been blocked. The
next vessel in the column was still
above the point waiting until by the
movement of the smoke from the
stacks of the Lexington it could be
known that the channel was clear

below, and vOlley of shrapnel killed

death of their leader, the cavalry turn

Warning BEFORE Command.

In bringing up my children / found
that at night when they were tired
they were spared many tears by being
warned before l gave them a strict
command Instead of saying Now it
is time to 20 TO bed. Put away your
blocks at once" | would say. "It IS
nearly time to go to bed Finish your
house first and then put away your
blocks" In this way the children
were fully prepared to go. and there
was consequently no begging and no
temptation for me to show my lack
Of firmness by being persuaded to al
low them to build Just one more
house"

absorbing chapter being told by one in

to finish the chapter irSt;-Harper 5
