they occupied occasionally, that on

o'clock fora dance. After the dance he
came back and stayed all night. On
cross examination she said it was as

said in her direct testimony that on the
night of the murder she beard a tap on
the window and her husbant got up,
put on his clothes, went out and came
back late, he said he had been at work
at the stables.
Several other witnesses testified that
Uriah was at the dance on Thursday
night from 8 to about loTclock. LL. T.

that Uriah changed slippers in his store.
This contradicted the statement of Mrs.
Bell that he put on the slippers at her

s Ignorance Not all in the Rural
Districts.
~The following from the New
~ork Herald of recent date
roves conclusively that all the
morance in this country does
}find Jodgment in the rural
tricts. Louis Gordon, a shirt
anufacturer, was a witness in a
t for arsou, and one of the at-
torneys, Mr. Davis, asked him if
his business had suffered from
the passage of the last tariff law.
Gordon replied that he had
ver heard of the tariff law and
idnTt know what the word meant.
oDo You read the newspapers?�
asked Mr. Davis.
No, sir.�
oDo you know what city is the
apital of this country?�
oNo, sir,�
_ oDo you know what is the cap-
l city of this State?�
oNo, sir,�
oDo you know what Congress
?
_ *No, sir.�
oDo you know who was the lastT
mayor of this city ?�
oNo, sir.�
oAre you a citizen?T finally
asked Mr. Davis.
"*Yes,� answered the witness,
and Judge Fitzgerald, the jurors
nd spectators looked at him in
imazement.
Gordon previously testified that |°

And the Band Played Dine.
The morning after the battle of
Sailor's Creek the Confedefite
prisoners were ordered to fall in
line. Soon Gen. Custer and staff
appeared on the scene, and this
was the signal for an uproarious
applause, The sky was fairly
darkened with caps thrown in the
air, and band played oYankee
| Dvodle,� and altogether it was a
sight to sadden the captive Con-
federates.
Gen. Caster seemed to realize
| this, and with a delicacy of feeling
and magtanimity of spirit which
only true chivalry can appreciate,
ag s00n as the applause had gub-
sided and jthe band ceased, he
said oGive the boys [meaning the
prisoners] Dixie.�
As the sweet strain ofthe Con-
federate war song rolled in waves
of liquid gmeiody through the
air, Gen. Custer took off his hat
and waved it as a signal and the
applause was deafening. The
Union hurrah and the rebel yell,
blended into one and shook notes.
as well as hearts and hands,
across the bloody chasm.
Years afterward, when the cniv-
alrous Custer rode gallantly to
his death in his last charge, it
sent w thrill of pain throughout
the Jength and breadth of our
land, for in his death one of the
most daring and unselfish of men
had perished, nor can it be doubt
ed had he been spared, be would

spoils in the shape of insect food.

that the American father is much

tho Amé¥ican daughter bas more of
self reliance in her disposition,
which renders her to acertain ex-

In a certain sense, especially as re-
gards monetary and matrimonial
matters, it might be said that the
English father acts for his daughter,
while the American father allows
her to act for herself. Those who
have made a study of the American

Well Timed Puns,
A well known clergyman in a
southern state is an inveterate pun-
ster. He often says that while he
is well aware that puns belong to
the lowest order of wit he is soldom
able to resist the temptation to
make one when opportunity offers.
On one occasion after preaching
an eloquent sermon he was met by
two friends, one of whom began to
praise his discourse in enthusiastic
terms. When he paused tor breath,
the other man said, with a laugh:
~~Well, doctor, can you stand as
much soft soap as that?�
oIndeed I can if there isnTt too
~much lye in it,� returned the min-
ister quickly.
At another time he was present
at the marriage reception of a young
~oouple of the name of More. The
occasion was somewhat stiff up to
the time of the minister's entrance,
and he qkickly discovered the state
of affairs.
