8 I K M A T T H K W H A L E .

A (jcntleman of about f-'tOO a year estate, in the Msterti pai t "f EiiRlund, had two sons. The elder, being of a rambling disposition, took a place in a ship and went abroad. Al te r several years his fa ther died, when the young-er son destroyed his will and seized up-on the estate, l ie gave out tha t his elder brother was dead, and bribed some false witnesses to attest the t ruth of it.

In course of t ime the elder brother returned, bu t came home in miserable circumstanceH. His younger brother repulsed him with scorn, told him thai he was an impostor and a cheat, and asserted that his dead long ago, and ho coulu bring witnesses to prove it.

The |)oor fellow, having neither mon-ey nor friends, was in a most dismal sitiiHtion. H e went round the parish making bi t ter complaict«, and at last came to a lawyer, who, when he heard the jioor man's mournful story, replied to him in this manner :

"You have nothing to give me. If 1 undertake your cause and lose it, it will bring me into very foul disgrace, as all the wealth and evidence is on your brother's side. Hut, however, I will undertake your cause on this condition: You shall enter into obligations to pay mo a thousand guineas if I gain thees-tate for you. If I lose it, 1 know the consequence, and 1 venture u|K)n it with my eyes open."

Accordingly, he entered an action against the younger brother, and it was agreed to' be tried a t the next gen-er t l assizes at Chelmsford in Essex.

The lawyer haviiiK engaged in the case of the poor man, and stimulated by the prospect of a thousand guineas, set his w i u to work' to contrive the best method to gain his end.

A t last he hit upon this happy thought—that he would consult the first of all the judge, Ix)rd Chief .lus-tice Hale. Accordingly, he Hew to Lon-don, and laid open the <• mae and all its circumstances. Thu judge, who was the greatest lover of justice of any man in the world, heard the case patiently and attentively, and promised him all the assistance in his power. (I t is very probable that he opened his whole tcheme and method of proceeding -n-jo nlng tl.e utmost secrecy.)

The judge contrived matters in such a manner as to have tinisbed all his business a t the King's Bench before the assizes began a t Chelmsford, and ordered e l t h v his carriage or horses to convey him down very near t he seat of the assizes, l i e dismissed his man and his horses, and sought out for a single house. He found one occupied by H miller. Af ter some conventitlion, and making himself quite agreeable, he pi'o|>osed to the miller to change clothes with hiin. As the judge had a very good suit on, the man had no rea-son to object.

Accordingly, the judge shifted him-self from top lo toe, and put on a com-plete suit of miller's best. Armed with the millei 's hat and shoes and slick, away he marches to Chelmsford; he had procured good lodgings to his lik-ing. and wailed for the assizes that should come on next day.

When the trials came on, he walked like an ignorant conntry fellow back-ward and forward along the county hall. He had a thousand eyes within him, and when the court began to fill he soon found out the poor fellow who was the plainlifl. As soon as he came into Hie hitll, the miller drew up lo him.

"Honest friend," said he, "how is your cause likely to go to-day V

' Whv," replied the plaintifT, my cause is in a very precarious si tuation; and if I lose it, 1 am ruined for life."

"Well, honest friend," replied the miller, "will you take my advice? I will let you into a secret which iierliaps you do not know; every Englishman has tbe right, and privilege to except against any one juryman through the whole twelve. Now, do you insist up-on your privilege, without giving area-sou why, and, if possible, get mecboeen in his room, and 1 will do you all the service in my power."

Accordingly, when tbe clerk of the court had called over the jurymen, the plaintiff excepted to one of them by name. The judge on the bench was highly offended with this liberty.

"Wha t do you mean," says he, "by excepting against that gentleman V"

"1 mean, my lord, to assert my priv-ilege as an Englishman, without giv-ing my reason why."

T i e judge, who had been deeply bribed, in order to conceal i t by a show of candor, and having a confldence in the superiority of his pari}, said:

"Well, sir. as you claim your privi-lege in one instance. I will p.-aiit you a favor. Who would you wish to have in the room of that man excepted against V"

A f t e r a short t ime taken in consid-eration, "My lord," says h s , " I wish to have an boneet man chosen"—and he looks round tbe cour t ; "My lord, there

is that miller in the cour t ; we will have him, if you please."

Accordingly the miller was chosen. As soon as the clerk of the court had

given them all their eaths, a little dex-terous fel ow came into the depart-ment and slipped ten golden earoluses into the hands of eleven Jurymen, and gave the miller but five.

He observed that they were all brilv i d its well as himself, and said to his next neighbor, in a soft whisper:

"How much hi've you got?" "Ten pieces," said he. He concealed what he had himself.

The cause was opened b j the plaintilTB counsel, and all the scraps of evidence they could pick up were adduced in his favor. The younger brother was provided with a great numlier of evi-dences and pleaders, all plentifully bribed as well as the judge; the evi-dence ilt-posed thai they were in the self-same country where the brother died, and saw linn buried. The coun-selors pleaded upon this accumul.tled evidence, and everything went with a full tide in favor of the younger broth-er.

The judge gumnied up the evidence with great gravity and deliberation, and now:

"Gentlemen of the jury ." said he "lay | your beads together, and bring in your j verdict as you shall deem most just."

They wailed but a few minutes be-fore they determined in favor of the younger brother: the judge said:

"(•eutlemen, are you agreed? who shall speak for you?"

"We are agreed, my lord," replied one. "Our foreman shall speak for us."

"Hold, my lord!"replied the miller; " « e are not all agreed."

"Whv," says the judge, in a very sur-ly manner, "what's the matter with you ? What reasons have you for dis-agreeing?"

'•I have several reasons, my lord, replied the miller; "the first is, they have given to all these gentlemen of the jury ten broad pieces of gold, and to me unt five; besides, I have many objections to make to the false reason-ings of the pleaders, and the contradic-tory evidence of the witnesses."

I'lKin this the miller began a dis-course tha t discovered such vast pene-tration of judgement, such extensive knowledge of law, and expressed with such enegetic and manly eloquence as astonished the judge and the whole court.

As he was going on with this pow-erful demonstrations, the judge, in a surprise of soul, stopped him.

"Where did you come from, and who are you ?"

"1 came from Westminister Hall," replied the miller; "my name is Mat-thew Hale. I am Lord Chief Just ice of the King's Bench. 1 have observed the iniquity of your proceedings this day; therefore, comedown from a seat which you are in nowise worthy to hold. You are one of t he corrupt par-ties in this iniquitous business. 1 will come up this moment and try the cause all over again.

Accordingly. Sir. Matthew went up with his miller's dress and hat on. be-gan with the trial f rom its very origi-nal—searched every ciicumstaHce of t i u ih and falsehood; evinced the elder brother's title to the estate from the contradictory evidence and the falserAasonings of the pleaders; un-raveled all the sophistry to the bottom, and gained a complete victory in favor of t r u th and justice.

Sir Matthew Hale, w ho is this day re-garded as the model of the learned, clear and upright judge, was bom on the 1st of November, 1609; be died in 1117(5,

Most beasts do not bibernate, bt -cause theyhave thepowerofkeep ing up a uni form body-temperature in spite of t he Cold of Winter . In the dor-mouse, marmot, and many allied forms, however, as also in t he liiilgehog and in bats, we do find this Winter sleep to occur. The lower animals, such' as reptiles, frogs, and eels, man^ iishee, npi lent, shellfish, antl worms, also en-ter into this s la te ; while yet lower creatures, such as infusoria and rhizo-pods, protect themselves by excreting, and f o r c i n g a structureless, spheroidal coat or "cyst," In preparing to h i lw-nate. animals set k secluded and shel-tered nooks, or burrow in the dry ground or in mud, or conceal them-selves in moss or beneath the bark of trees. There they fall into a sleep (either uninterrupted or interrupted by intervals of activity) which endures more or less according to latitude and consequent length of Winter. During this sleep the 1>ody-heat of warm-blooded animals falls greatly, as respiration and circulalion take placv very gently and slowly. The nutrit ion of t he body is also effected very slowly, the fa t of the body (generally cons'd-erable at the commencement of hfbflr-nation) being used up in the process, unli'ss occasional awaking has given an opportunity for feeding.

Parallel with the periodic repose of animals isihe Winter inactivity of very many plants which (in temperate lati-tudes such as our own) drop their leaves, or, if lieibs. die down to shoot for th again with the advent of Spring. Daring thia time tbe sap retreats from the surface, and the processes of life come almost to a stand-still, to be re-newed with a rapidity and sudden-ness not inaptly termed a "burst of vegetation," a t a period which varies according to the species. The annual torpor of animals is a prolongation for weeks or for months of that process, so familiar yet so mysterious, called sleep. During it the functions of life are sl.mkened in their operations, and the refreshment which sleep produces is not due to any accelerated nutrition, but to a temporary cessation of the wear and tear of activity.—W. O.JIi-cart.

CHnit ii BELLS.—The bells of SL Mark's Church, 1'hiladelpbia. were silenced by an injunction obtained by annoyed neighbors, and the Coui t of Appeals sustained the order. The re-sult of that case has led to movements against church bells elsewhere. I n S t Louis a chime in the Congregational Church of the Pilgrims has been at-tacked by f wo physicians living close by. These bells are struck every quar-ter of an huur, the number of strokes numbering 1.11U a day. besides tbe tuue-playing on Sundays and prayer-meet ing nights. Tbe two physicians say. in applying for an injunclion, that the noise is destructive of (emfor t and dangerous to health. The church ofli-cers rep'y that the chime is a One one, and that the complainants would not object if they were not infidels, to whom any Christian sound would be unpleasant.

CinCULATION OF THK BLOOD.—Dr. C. Huter . a German taoaut of Greif t-wald, has devised a simple arrange-ment which demonstrates the circula-tion of the blood in tbe human body by making it visible. Dr. Huter ' s methods is as follows: The patient 's head being fixed in a frame, on which is a contrivance for supporting a mic-roscope and a lamp, his lower h p is drawn out and fixed on the stage of the

icroscoi* by means ef dips, the inner surface lieing uppermobU and having a strong light thrown upon it by H con-denser. When these preparations are completed all the observer has lo do is to bring the microscoi>e lo bear on the surface of the lip, using a lower power objective, and focusing a small superficial vessel. At once he sees the endless precession of the blood corpus-cles through the minute capillaries, the colorless ones appearing like white specks dolling the red stream. Dr. Hu-ter assert" that by taking careful not» of variations in the bloodflow and changes in the corpuscles he has de-rived great advantage in the t reatmenl of medical cases. This is the lirel in-stance of the flow of the vital fluid in one person lieing watched by another.

A KNOWIXO CATER I'LL. I. An.—A cat-erpillar was recently found on a Bridge-port windowsill by a servant, and by her was a carefully placed ujion the area wall, where it would be out of danger. A day or so later the lady of the house saw this caterpillar on tbe doorsill, and it was again placed on the wall for safety. This was repeated several times, the caterpillar finding its way to the doorsill every time. Finally the lady procured a box, the end of which was lef t open, and placed the caterpillar in i t The caterpillar seemed to know his home, for, on sev-eral occasions, when the lady removed it from the box and placed it some distance away, it would hastily crawl back and enter its old quarteni. When the weather is very cold the box is taken into the house. The caterpillar has acted, ever since it was found, us though in knew it had fallen among friends, and as though its conduct was governed by r e a s o n H a v e n Palladium.

A Confcdc ra l c H e r o .

Bichard Kirkland was the son of .lohn Kirkland, an estimable cil i /en of Kershaw County, a plain, substantial farmer of the olden time. In I Hill he entered, as i private. Captain .1. 1) Kennedy's company Second South Car-olina Volunteers, in which company he was a sergeant in December, IS112. The day af ter the sanguinary b.ittle of Frederieksburg, Kershaw's brigade oc-cupied the rnad at the foot of Marye's hill and the ground.! about Marye's house, the scene of their desperate de-fence the day liefore. One hundred and fifty yards in front of the road, the stone f acing of which constituted the famous stone wall, lay Syke's division of regulars, I 'ni led States Army, be-tween whom and our troops a mur-denms skirmish occupied the whole day. fatal to many who heedlessly ex-posed themselves, even for a moment. The ground between the lines was bridged with the wounded, dead and dying Federals, victims of the many IM s|MTately gallant assaults of t l v i column of thirty thousand brave rcej hulled vainly against that impregnr.b'e position.

All that day those wounded men rent the air with their groans ami ago-nizing cries of "Water! water!" In the afternoon, the general sat in the norlli room np-stairs of Mrs. Steven's house in f ront of ihe road surveying Hie field, when Kirkland came up. With an expression of indignant re-monstrance pervading his i^rson, I e said, "General! I can't stand this." "What is the matter, sergeant?" asked the general. He replied. "All night and all day 1 have beard these pon people crying for water, and I can stand it no longer. I come to a.-.k |)er-mission to go and give them water."

The general regarded him for a mo-ment with feelings of profound admira-

A J e w i s h L e g e n d .

According to.Iewish and Mahcmnie-dan tradition. King Solomon, w ho was wise beyond all other men. knew the language of animals, and could talk with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. A Rabbinical story is told of him. which is in this wise:

" One day the king rode out of Jeru-salem with a great retinue. An ant-hill lay directly in his path, and Solo-mon heard its little people talking.

" ' H e r e comes the great king." he heard one of them say. • His flatterers call him wise, and just, and merciful, but he is almul to ride over us. and cmsh us without heeding our suffer-ings.'

" And Solomon told the Queen of Sheba, who rode with him. what the ant said.

" And the queen made answer, ' H e is an insolent creature, oh. King! It is a better fate than he deserves, lo be trodden under our feel.'

" Bu t Solomon said; * I t is the part of wisdom to learn of the lowest and weakest.'

" A n d he commanded his train to turn aside and spare the ant-hill.

" Then all the courtiers marvelled greatly, and the Queen of Sheba bowed her head and made obeisance to Solo-mon.

" ' Now know 1 the secret of thy wisdom. Thou listenest as patiently lo the reproaches of the humble as to the flatteries of the g r e a t . ' " - John (J. Whit 10 r.

Story of a P a r r o t .

It was named Jane. Whether the sex warranted thefeminine appellative I do not know, but by its Hbility to handle language 1 should think it was all right. I t came from Mexico, with tbe family, and could only talk Span-ish at first, bat soon learned the Kn-glish language. She was larger than ordinary—a bright green with a red tail, and very vain was she of that or-nament . Her command of language was wonderful.

When her cage was hung by the window she would collect a crowd of boys by c r y i . g : "Fire, fire!" then change to "Cnarcoal"—precisely like the vender—then suddenly say. in a conventional tone, "Now boys, run lo school; do!"

When the door-bell rang, Jane would hop lo the baluster and call out to the visitor. "Johnny isn't home! Call again." Or familiarly remark. "Oh! is it you ?"

She would learn street songs, and try patiently by the hour t o get the tune and the words. 1 sat in another room one day and heard her try to sing. "Up in a balloon, boys, up!"—tben she got stuck, when she exclaimed, pellish-Is, "Shaw!" Then she tried it again, antl again, till she got the two verses right, upon which she barked and crowed, and went through a whole vo-cabulary in her t r iumph and delight.

When the daughter w as old enough to go to school, Jane would say to her af ter breakfast, "Come, Eva, get ready! Nine o'clock, now!"

She would go to the side of her mis-tress' bed in tne morning, and say: "Get up, it's late, I'm very hungry!"

She was very fond of babies, so her mistress made her a rag-doll. It was very droll to hear her baby-talk, imitat-ing her mistress' tone and language very accurately. She would let no stranger touch the doll, but was de-lighted if the family noticed it. She insisted upon learning her lessons with Eva, when the latter was old enough to study them at home. She would repeat the suflixes and prefixes af ter her glibly, and annoyed her so much that she would have to be shut in an-other room, where she would still ajiell shrilly.

There was a small parly assembled

Af te r a pause, the general said, "Kirkland, 1 ought not lo allow you to run such a risk, but the sentiment which actuates you is so noble that I will not refuse your request, trusting that liod may protect you. You may «u."

The sergeant's eyes lighted up with pleasure, l ie said, "Thank you, sir '" and ran rapidly down stairs. The gen-eral heard him pause for a moment, and then return, bounding two steps at a time. He thought the sergeant's heart had failed him. l ie was mis-taken. The sergeant stupi>ed a t the door and said, "General, can 1 show a white handkerchiet ?" The general slowly shook his head, say ing, emphat-ically, "Xo, Kirkland, you can't do that," "All right, sir," he said, "I'll take the chances!" and ran down with a bright smile on his handsome coun-tenance.

With profound anxiety he was watched its he stepped over the wall on bis errand of mercy—Christ-like mercy, r n b a n n c d he reached the nearest sufferer. He knell l-eside him. tender-ly raised the drooping head, rested il gently upon his own noble breast, and poured the precious, life-giving fluid down thu fever-suorched throat. This done he laid him tenderly down, placed his knapsack under his head, straight-ened out his broken limu, spread his overcoat over him, replaced his empty canteen with a full one, and turned to another sufferer. By this t ime his pur|>ose was well understood on Iwth sides, ami all danger was over. From

The Boston Correspondent of tfie the Hartlord Cunrant gives an Inter-esting account of what is said to be the oldest house in New Bngland, l l is in Dedhani. a town about ten miles from the centre of Boston. This house was built in liio'J. 41 has under-gone some changes since, but much of the original s t ructure is then*, easily dislingnishable ami in a go if state of preservation. The house is beautifully situated under heivily I ranching elms, and with the moss on its roof and ihe encroachment of the cround upon its walls.the effect is iu a maiked degree picturesque- The im si cmioiis fact of all is, that it is furnished with not a little of the original funi i ture of over two hundred ami forty years ago. It h.wS been in the possession ol a sin-:. |e family by tiie name ol Fail banks during the whole of that time. This family, iu all its generations, bash-.d a passion for "keening things." as the country people express it.

Among oiher articles there preserv-ed. is the oiiginal inveiiloiy of the fur-ni tureof the Fairbanks who built this house. By means of this the articles which he carried into it are identified. There are bis chest, his case of draw-ers, his lamp 1 after the I'oniitelian pat-tern,) and scores of oilier relics. Con-spicuous among them all is SUS|N nded the old King's arm which he kept for protection from the Indians. Every generation that succeeded him hasal-o t iansmit ted something. The place is a museum, with successive s t ra ta of curiosities from the Puri tan iieriod down to the present. The generation which has just died out of the house was composed of three maiden laoies. who lived till over eighty years of aj-e in each case, and the last of whom was oond stricken with death by one of

l ie neighbors on the II u r of the place of which she was the sole inhabitant. These old ladies kept even iheir wardrobe of more than half a century back.

The American Watch Company, of Waltliam, Mass , has lately received an order from the British Government for 872 watches, intevded for the use of conductors, engineers, station mas-ters, and other employ.* of the state railroads of India, This is the third large order by the company f rom the same source, and, like the former ones, was obtained in public ci mpetition with foreign iiiannfactures. T h e l x m -don Jnrtler ami Mttalirurktr, in its issue of January 15, observes, in refer-ence to this on lei:

The contract for watches to lie used by the officials on the Indian state railways has again It-en secured by the American V. aich Companv. This is tbe third time Messers. Bobbins A Applelon have received ibis distinc-tion, which is not a barren one. fur it must lie evident to the most prejudiced individual that Ihe tinieket peis sup . plied on the previous occasions must have given satisfaction, and answered the tests required of them. This is a mortifyiim tact for Englishmen, espec-ially for those who lielieve that were manufacturers here to show more en-terprise. they would be able u» com-I>ei. advantageously in the manufac-ture of all grades ol watches.—J/ovfi/n Advaturr.

As it Used to Be.

One hundred years ago not a pound of coal or a cubic loot of gas had been burned in the country. No iron stoves were used, and ntrivance for econ-omizing heat were employed until Dr. Franklin had invented tbe iron-framed lire-place, which still bears his name. All the cooking and warming in town, its well its in the country, were done by ihe aid of a fire kindled on the brick hearth or in the brick ovens. Pine knots or tallow candles furn ished t h e light for the long winter nights , and sanded floors -upplied the place of runs and carjjets. The water used for house-hold purposes was drawn f rom deep wells by the creaking sweep. No form of pump was used in this counirv, so tar as wo can learn, until after thf commencement of the present • eniury. There were no friction inatches iu those early days, by the aid of « hich a lire could lie easily stal led, and if t he lire went out upon the hearth over night, and the lindei was dump, so that the spark could not eaten, the al-ternat ive remained of wading through the snow a mile or more to borrow a brand of a neighbor. Only one 100m in any house was warm, unless some member of the family was i l l ; in all the rest the leni | ierature was iit re.. . during many nights in winter . The men and women of a hundred vears ago undressed and went to tbelr 'beds 111 a temiHjrature colder than that of our burns and woodsheds, and they never complained.

The Orand Baplds Smash-up.

Most of ou r readers have, e re this , heard of t h e t r emendous smash-up thai occurred m G r a n d It tpids last week,

wreck ing three of the largest specula tors in tha t c i ty , L. 11. Randall. H. W. Hinsdale and Hibbard & Orutf, the

Orand Rapids " snyd ica te , " have been extensively engaged in Rtain nnd other speculat ions a n d car ry ing enormoup loads of high pr iced cereals, etc. , unti l they liave been compelled to sink under t b e burden . The recent decline in the price of wheat was what crushed them. Various reports have Iieen m a d e as to t b e a m o u n t of the i r losses, some placing it as high as $600,000, others less. Many Michigan banks a r e heavy losers by the fai lure (see fou r th poge for list). Lowell was both f o r t u n a t e and un fo r tuna te : fo r tuna t e in not hav ing more of the bad paper af loat ; u n f o r t u n a t e in hav ing any of i t . Our b a n k had $5,000 of Hibbard 's paper endorsed by 11. W. Hinsdale, which, when taken , was supposed by

everybody to be l im-cla-s . I l is iiossi-ble tha t some th ing may be realized on it yet , Tlie Hast ings National bank is ou t $20,000 w h i c h is $15,000 m o r e than t h e law allows. Other banks are in the same fix, Messrs. Randall ami Hinsdale have tu rned ove r all Iheir proper ty lo secure, so f a r as posaible, the i r creditors.

Hibbard a n d Graff secured some of their f r iends but not many outside, and they are undergo ing a financial dissection bv some of the i r c redi tors who insist upon a fu l l and comple te showing of their affairs . Tbcte fai lures will teach banks and money lenders a l e s s o n - v i z . : never to loan m o n e y t o men engaged in such uncer ta in t ransact ions wi thout security tha t cannot b low aw'ay, burn up . or dis-appear in any possible manner , A spec-ula tor may be w o r t h a mill ion lo-day a n d he may be a pauper to-morrow. It is just as sa fe t o look upon the wine when it is red as to loan a speculator

money w i t h perishable securi ty .

A gen t leman of about £S00 a yea r estate, in t b e e a s t e r n p a r t of E u g l a n d , had t w o sons. T h e elder, b e i n g of a rambl ing disposi t ion, took a place in a sh ip and wont abroad . A f t e r several years h is f a t h e r died, when t h e young-er son des t royed h is will a n d seized ui>-on the estate , l i e gave o u t t b a t h i s e lder b r o t h e r was dead, a n d br ibed some false wi tnesses to a t t e s t t h e t r u t h of i t .

I n course of t i m e the e lder b r o t h e r re tu rned , b u t c a m e home lu mise rab le c i rcumi tanoes . H i s younger b r o t h e r repulsed h i m w i t h scorn, told h i m t b a t he was a n i m p o s t o r nnd a chea t , aud asser ted t h a t h i s real b ro ther was dead long ago, and lie couiil ui i n g wi tnesses to prove it.

T h e poor fe l low, h a v i n g n e i t h e r mon-ey nor i r iends, w a s in a m o s t d i smal s i tua t ion . H e w e n t round t h e p a r i s h mak ing b i t t e r compla in ts , a n d a t last came to a l awyer , who, w h e n he heard t b e poor m a n ' s m o u r n f u l s t o r y , repl ied to bim in th is manner:

" Y o u have n o t h i n g t o g ive me. If I u n d e r t a k e y o u r cause and lose it , i t will b r ing m e i n to very foul disgrace, as all the w e a l t h a n d evidence is on you r brother ' s side. Uut , however , I will u n d e r t a k e y o u r cause on t h i s c o n d i t i o n : You shall e n t e r i n to obl iga t ions t o pay roe a t b o u s a n d guineas if I ga in t h e es-t a t e lo r you . I f 1 lose it, 1 k n o w t h e consequence, and I v e n t u r e ujion It w i t h my eyes open."

Accordingly, he entered a n ac t ion aga ina t t h e y o u n g e r b r o t h e r , and it was agreed to lie t r ied a t t h b u e x t gen-era l assizes a t Che lmsford iu Essex .

T h e l awye r h a v i n g engaged in t h e case of t h e poor man , and s t i m u l a t e d by the p rospec t of a t housand gu ineas , set his wi t s t o w o r k to c o n t r i v e ihe best method t o ga in h is end .

A t last he h i t upon t h i s happy thought— that he wonld c o n s u l t t h e first of all t h e judge . Lord Chief J u s -tice Hale . Accordingly , he Hew t o Lon-don, aud laid open the cnuse a n d al l its c i rcumstances . T h e judge, w h o was the greatest l ove r of ju s t i ce of a n y man in t h e world , hea rd t h e case pa t i en t ly and a t t en t ive ly , a u d promised h i m all t b e aatistaoce in h is power . ( I t is very probable tha t he opened h i s whole t cheme and me thod of p roceed ing en-jo n ing t h e u t m o s t secrecy.)

T h e j u d g e con t r ived m a t t e r s in such a m a n n e r as t o h a r e finished all bis business a t t h e K i n g ' s B e n c h be fo re t h e assizes began a t C b e l n u f o r d , a n d ordered e i t he r h i s ca r r i age o r horses to convey h im d o w n very n e a r t h e seat of t h e assizes. H e d ismissed h is man and his horses , a n d s o u g h t o u t fo r a s ing le house. H e f o u n d o n e occupied by a miller . A f t e r some conve r sa t ion , and m a k i n g himself q u i t e agreeable, he proposed to t h e mi l ler to change clothes w i t h h im. As t b e j u d g e had a very good s u i t on, the m a n hud no rea-son to objec t .

Accordingly , t h e judge s h i f t e d him-self f rom tup to toe, and p u t on a com plele su i t of mil ler ' s b e s t A rmed w i t h the millei 'd h a t a n d shoes a n d st ick, away he m a r c h M to C h e l m s f o r d ; . h e had procured good lodgings t o h is l ik-ing, and wa i t ed fo r u e assizes t h a t should come on nex t day.

When t h e t r i a l s came on, he wa lked like an Ignoran t coun t ry fe l low back-ward and f o r w a r d a long t h e coun ty hiill. l i e h a d a thousand eyes wi th in him, and w h e n t h e c o u r t began to fill he soon f o u n d ou t the poor fe l low who was tho p la ln t i f l . As soon aa he c a m e in to t h e hai l , t h e mi l ler d r e w up to him.

"Hones t f r i end ," said he, " h o w is your cause l ikely to gu to-day V"

• Why," ropiiwl Hie my cause l«in a very precar ious s i t u a t i o n ; a n d if i lose it , I am ru ined fo r life."

"Well , hones t f r i end ," repl ied t h e miller, "wi l l you lake m y a d v i c e ? I will let you into a secret which pe rhaps vou do n o t k n o w : every E n g l i s h m a n haa the r ight and privilege to except aga ins t any one j u r y m a n through t h e whole twe lve . N o w , do you inaiat up-on your privilege, wi thout g i v i n g a rea-son why , a n d , i f possible, g e t mecboeen in his room, and I will d o y o u al i the service in m y power."

Accordingly, when the clerk of tbe court bad called over the Jurymen, the plaintiff excepted to one of them by name. T h e judge on t h e bench was highly offended with th is liberty.

What do yon mean," aaya be, "by excepting againat that gent leman ?"

"1 mean, m y lord, to aaaert m y priv-ilege as an Englishman, wi thout g iv-ing my reason why."

Tbe judge , w h o h a d been deeply bribed, in o rde r t o conceal i t by a show of candor , a n d hav ing a confidence in t h e supe r io r i t y of b is p a r t y , s a i d ;

"Wel l , s i r , as yon c l a i m y o u r pr ivi-lege in one ins tance , I w i l l g r a n t you a favor . W h o would you w i s h to h a v e in t h e room of t h a t m a n excepted a g a i n s t ? "

A f t e r a shor t t i m e t a k e n in consid-erat ion, " M y lord," says he , "I wish to h a v e a n h o n e s t man c h o s e n " — a n d he looks r o u n d t h e c o u r t ; " M y lord, t he r e

Is t h a t mi l ler i n t h e c o u r t ; w e will have him, if you please."

Accordingly t h e mi l ler was chosen. A s soon as t h e c lerk of the c o u r t had

g iven t h e m all t he i r •at l is , a l i t t l e dex-te rous fe l low c a m e in to the depar t -m e n t and s l ipped t en golden earoluses Into t h e h a n d s uf eleven j u r y m e n , ami gave the mi l ler b u t live.

H e obse rved t h a t they were all br ib-ed a s well a s h imse l f , and said to his nex t ne ighbor , in a so f t wh i spe r :

" H o w inueli h e v e you g o t ? " " T e n pieces," sa id lie. Ho concealed w h * he had himself .

T h e cause was opened by tho plaintiff s counsel, a u d al l t h e sc raps of ev idence they could pick n p were adduced In his favor . T h e younger b ro the r was provided w i t h a g r e a t n u m b e r of evi-dences a n d pleaders , all p len t i fu l ly br ibed aa well a s t h e j u d g e : t h o evi-dence de|M>sed t h a t they were in t h e se l f - same c o u n t r y where t h e b ro the r died, and saw h i m bur ied . T h e coun-selors pleaded upon th is accumuUled evidence, a u d e v e r y t h i n g w e n t w i l h a f u l l t ide in f a v o r of the younger broth-er.

T h e j u d g e s u m m e d u p ' t h e ev idence w i t h g rea t g rav i ty and del iberat ion, a n d n o w :

" G e n t l e m e n of tho ju ry , " sa id he "lay you r heads toge the r , a n d b r i ng in your verd ic t aa you shal l deem mos t jus t . "

They wai ted b n t a few m i n u t e s be-f o r e they d e t e r m i n e d in f a v o r of the younger b r o t h e r : tho judge s a i d :

"Gen t l emen , a r e you ag reed? who shall speak f o r you ?"

" W e a r e agreed , m y lord," repl ied one. " O u r f o r e m a n shal l speak f o r us."

"Ho ld , my l o r d ' " replied t h e mi l l e r ; "we a r e n o t all agreed."

" W h y , " says t h e judge. In a very sur -ly m a n n e r , " w h a t ' s t h e m a t t e r wi th you ? W h a t reasons h a v e you fo r dis-a g r e e i n g ? "

"1 have seve ra l reasons, my lord," replied t h e m i l l e r ; " t h e first is, they have g iven t o al l these gen t lemen of t h e j u r y ten broad pieces of gold, and t o m e b u t five; besides, I h a v e many ob jec t ions t o m a k e t o tho fa l se reason-ings of t h e pleaders , and the contradic-tory evi t jenco of t h e witnesses."

Upon th i s t h e millor began a dis-course t h a t d iscovered such vas t pene-t r a t i o n of j u d g e m e n t , such ex tens ive k n o w l e d g e of law, and expressed w i t h such enege t i c a n d man ly e loquence as a s ton i shed t h e judge and t h e whole c o u r t

No signs of violence, blood, s t ruggle, liottlea. or o the r evidences of suicide, or of foul play, were to be found , and w h e t h e r i imrder or suicide, t h e coroner's inquest has been unable to determine, though poison caused Ihe deaths . The wife was seen to enter the stable in the evening somewha t under t h e influence of l iquor, but the family of t h e proprietor heard no noiseor disturlmnce dur ing the n igh t . The couple had lived happily together , antl were not pecuniari ly embamssed. As no ono can assign tho cause fo r aui-cide or for murder , t h e whole a f fa i r is t h rouded with a m y j t e r y that apparen t -ly will never I * revealed. Reilly was fo r several years t h e coachman of Lord Lvons , the ex-English Minister, and wliile w i t h him married hit wife, who was also one of the servants .

On t h e o the r hand , the Democra t s say Kellogg w a s never

i h a t t h e people will next fal l sustain it when t h e f ac t s a rc properly pu t before

them. A t a n y ra te , no th ing has occur-red in t h e Capitol th is w in te r which has induced m o r e outside discussion and lebate t h a n th is move. Mr. Kellogg md his f r i e n d t c la im tha t Sena tor HUI. who pressed the ma t t e r t o a vote, waa ac tua ted by personal r a the r t h a n par ty motives, a n d in tended it to d iver t pub-lic a t t en t ion f rom himself in t h e Ray-

mond scandal . W h e t h e r t h i s assertion tie t r u e ur u n t r u e , Senator HiU has cer-tainly s t i r red up a hornet ' s nes t in at-tacking Mrs. Belva Lockwood. Our re-•cnt predict ion tha t he would regret his

iction has been fu l ly verified, fo r she is a f t e r h im w i t h all t h e f u r y of a "wo-man scorned ." Though he t r ies to esse her blows, w i t h charges of a t tempted blackmail , falsifier, etc. , she is terribly persistent , and t h e end is no t ye t . Shi publicly accuses h i m of seduc ing y o u u t girls, and of being a bad fellow general-ly, a n d no one doubts she will have tht •ist word, w h a t e v e r he may say and du u t h e f u t u r e . She undoubted ly acteu

to saddle al l responsibility f o r he r state-nen t upon Mrs. Lockwood was unfor -

tuna te , aa i t pu t s her, not Miss Ray-mond, in t h e category of t hys t e r and j lackmai le r . She, therefore, as a pure-ly personal ma t t e r , has gone in to a fight igainst h im w i t h all her abili ty and irouaed w o m a n ' s ire, wh ich will , to say

che least, be a n unpleasant one to h i m before she ge ts th rough w i t h him, as abo can t h r o w di r t equal to a n y male lawyer a t t h e bar. One of t h e tequences if th is quar re l has been t h e in t roduc-tion of a bill in to the House to prevent olackmail . Notwi ths tanding the need of a s t r ingent s t a tu te upon th is mat te r , yet thia bill will not now become a law, for it will meet a fa ta l opposi t ion f rom the lobby, which , as it is composed largely ct wo i s sn , has s t r eng th enough to defea t a n y measure encroaching on their privileges. A li t t le res t ra in t placed upon our legislators won ' t h u r t them, ind perhaps it is bet ter to have no pro-l ib i tory s ta tu te . Some of these solons have not sowed the i r wild oa ts as yet , ind the i r f r iskincas leads t h e m o f t e n in-to bad associations.

At last the domeetic infelicities which have been known to exist between ex-Senator Christiancy—now minister al i'cni—and hit wife, have culminated, ind we are promised a divorce suit as

Most of our readers have, ero this, heard of tho t remendous smash-up thai occurred in Orand Rapids last week,

wrecking three of tbe largest specula-tors in that c i ty . L. H. Randall , H. W . Hinsdale a n d Hibbard A Graf f , the

The recent decl ine In t h e price of wheat was w h a t crushed them, Various reports h a v e been made as to t h e amoun t of the i r losses, some placing it as high ae #600,000, o thers less. Many Michigan banks a r e heavy losers by the fa i lure (see fou r th page for list). Lowell was both f o r t u n a t e and u n f o r t u n a t e fo r tuna t e in not h a v i n g moro of the bad paper afloat: u n f o r t u n a t e in hav ing nny of it.

except in one way .

ty of the S ta te ami presided at the elec-tion of representatives to Congress, Nov,

1878. Ho was indicted under the United States law for in te r fe r ing wi th ind resisting the Supervisors of election, while the la t ter were engaged iu the .lerformance of their duties a t said elec-tion—be was t r ied , convicted and sen-enced. and sued out this wri t c la iming

the election law was ' .mconstitutioual and void. The Court decided tliat Con-gress had power to pass tho law under ha t clause of tho Federal const i tut ion

which says: "Tho times, places and man-te r of holding elections for Senators and Representatives shall bo prescribed in •acb state by t h e Legislature thereof , m t Congres m a y at any t ime by law uake or al ter such regulations, except is t o t h e place of choosing Senators. " fust iccs Field a u d Clifford dissented rom each ono of these decisions.

On Saturday J u d g e Hoyt decided t h e ase of Thompson I . Daniels vs. Chris-

topher Misner here tofore noticed in t h i s column, nnd gave decree in favor of the complainant Dnniels in accordance wi th the praver of t h e bill. This vests the ti-tle to the e ighty acres of land in suit , being the f a r m in Vergennes on which the compla inant resides, in Daniels and u ts off any and al 1 claim of Misner's.

The J u d g e at tho same t ime also de-cided tho Esek J a y llosher habeas corpus mat ter remanding' Mosher to t h e custo-ly of tho Sheriff , holding tha t Just ice Weeks had jurisdict ion of the cause and Iiad pmperly exercised it. I t will be re-

ibered tha t Mosher was sent to jai l i f t e r convict ion of fa i lure to support bis wife and fai l ing to give bonds to support her in the f u t u r e .

There is a ser-ous quest ion whe the r ho can bo tried ind punished fo r both burglary and lar-ceny growing ou t of t h e same transac-tion n r offence and it is oui te probable that the people will be obliged to elect which cr ime they will t ry Uim for.

The Addis divorce ma t t e r has develop-ed sumo in teres t ing phases dur ing the last week. It will be remembered thai it ou r last wr i t ing a bill fo r divorce filed uy Mrs. Addis was pending; some t ime ast week a set t lement between the par

ties was affected, Mrs. Addis act ing without the advice of her at torneys. A rust deed of property es t imated at #50,-100, but heavily encumbered was made iv Wm. Addis and wi fe to their son

Wm. T. Addis, a n d out of the income if the proper ty Mrs. Addis and chi ldren vere tu be supported a u d a f t e r her dea th

tho property was to go to tho chileren. So nrovision wa# made for t h e ( .ayment •f tno encumbrances and the interest

.hereon. In comiection with the settle-nent Mrs. Addis published a card clcar-ng her husband of a part of tho accusa-ions tha t h a d been made against h im ind the divorce sui t was discontinued. )ne day a f t e r th is Mrs. Addis c la iming •lie had been deceived in the sett lemenl ind tho con ten t s of t h e s ta lement repti-liated the deed and tho set t lement and :lled a new bill for divorce against Ad-lis on t h e same ground as the old bill.
