Locl-t- r A SAMPLE OF It was a fev days after Generals Hanks and Grant had phut up the rebel shops at Port Hudson and Vicksburg, and opened the all the through, that seven of us four in the land and three in the naral service got permission all at the same times to run up stream, or anywhere else we pleased, so we didn't run within the rebel lines, and recuperate for six weeks. We had all worked long1 and faithfully down their in the low country, ?cd fairly parnen our turlougris, - It was something just a tiifla singular that'we were' all intimately acquainted with each other, ail rnf Tried men,' and tiiM ( lie seven wives of seven of us ulJ have all arrived, in New Orh-an- only tue day before we oivur furloughs, and were all quartered together at thv; Veranda, and got up to the hour of our meeting at the Exchange, when we agreed to all go tip the river ia company, there wasn't of the number a single soul who hod seen his wife since her arrival. Without regard to rank or order, the list in the male line reades asfollo.vs: Lieut. Harry C.Jones, U. S. N., Col. George Marshall, th Ohio Infaniry, Capt. ih New York, Lieut. th Cavalry, George Coif man, pilot Major John P. Florence. th Connecticut Ar- tillery, Dick Maline, U. S. N. There we were, of all arms and from all sections of universal Uniondom, hus- tled to gether by accidem, and all bound up stream by the same steamer, and that steamer, the big new, first-clas- s clipper Western World of Pittsburg, Captain Henry Norton, which we had ascertained was going to shove cfTtrora the levee a:t six o'clock P. M. Our first duty was cut over to the Veranda and introduce ourselves to our wives, and introduced our compan- ions to ihem all round and this having beeu we pitched upon Col. Ortonasour best pack-hors- e and most finished ladies' man of the mob, to wait on dimity down aboard the steamer, secure staterooms, stow away luggage, and get and everybody all snug while the remainder of us trotted abou town to finish qp forty unfinished little duties, and procure fifty little trifles for geceral comfort, the most important among1 which were several dozen bottles in saw dust, ar.d divers overgrown decan- ters in willow jackets. We were as busy all day with our du- ties as Orton must have been wkh his, tut we got through with all, and on board with our own various wares and wives in gocd time, making square calculations to 1 e'.e another that night on board the Western World. And we did, only it was a confounded queer time the last end cf it. WTe were a trifle near sighted, I think, by the time we pot onboard, fifteen min- utes before the steamer tho ved off from the but we could rce well epough when Orton piloted us around to our wives nr.d quarters alaft the wheel house, that there vas a premise cf comfort and ccn-veiiiet- ce nbcut cvr rccom.-i.odation- s. Su!c rocms fitted up l.ke bridal cham- bers, toilet fixtures, sofas, rosewood rock- er?, and(berths wide enough for two we njticed Uiat and then there was a new kink to us in the of our lodgings. Instead of being num- bered, as is usual, or lettered, we had sometimes seen the thing done, there was a fancy glass plate up over each state room door, with the name of some one of our American immortals on itMa gilt le- ttersas Clay, W'ebster, Jackson, etc. As our programme was to have one of that jolly time of ours out in the social ball that night, wfcnight possibly forget that we had wive? waiting for as as many a better and" worse man than we were, have dpne, so we set about the of entering our lodgings without disturbing our wives, in case they , should happen to be turned in when we came homa. All admirable, coald n't be im- proved, dead latches to the locks, so that our wives could fasten themselve3 in. an d everybody but their husbands out. Cap- ital idea, that. "Give us our keys, Col- onel, while We think of it. .And Orton, who had the brasa talismans in his pock-e- l, distributed them very a little over eaca medal attached to the keys, to be sure he wasYorre'ct, serv- ing out us Clinton, Burcside, Gov. Curtin, &c , which we pocketed quite as carefully against the time of need. Now the first gtiess would naturally be, that separated from five twenty months from our wives as we had been, our first devotion would have been paid to them. But that was just the' reason why Ve chose to spend awhile" in the social hall first. There were at l.-a- si forty fellow shbiil- - der-strap- s on board who knew all. the matrimonial ropes, and I suppose a hund- red more b on. compactions, and if we had ruthed in to hugging and kissing, and taken to locking ourselves into our room's the first thing" thunder ! they'd have been run nin' ar.d bleeding ua at the Bar the wliole passage. We are not so green It was a capital plea put cur wives cn, loo! So afetr tea we went forward, got kept ori growin? hazier, till about ten o'clock, when CJk Orton made an appeal to our generosity. had been, pack-hors- e' all day was tried . didn't feet as well as he 'might. Would we let him off?' He wanted to turn in. Yes, we would He was a dry chip, anyhow not much ginger in him. Go on, Colonel go and turn in'. So on went Col. Orton, and off we went on oar jubilee tack agin". At length, a little before twelve we voted to square away and run down for Blanket Bay, and off we went, ma kit g short tacks, with a fair wind on the passage, down the long saloon, going afoul of every craft we fell m with wheth- er at anchor or under weigh, until at last, we got into the latitude of the glass statesmen and generals, when we hove to and hunted up latch-key- s. All right. We could read plain enough yet the great gold letters on the glass-an- d the little brass letters on key tal, lies. "Here you are General Taylor that's my harbor, g declar- ed Lieutenant Ives in somewhat tangled articulation. Guv-nor-- or Curtin's may man," wis Colonel Marshall's declaralion. . "I'm going to turn in to Dewit Clin- ton, with little curly Carrie, ' boasted Major Florence. "And I am to sail under Burnside," said Dick Marline, holding up his latch key closer to the light, to make sure he was right in the tally. "Well, I'm blest beautiful if I ain't billeted on, or in, Genelal Cameron," prowled Georje Coleman. .Vlljwevjr, I don't care a cuss who's over me, so long as Mary lays alongside. AH right, S that leaves me General Scott," said Captain Hamilton; taking a near- sighted look at his latch Ley. ' I say, shipmates le les do er thing quieter, ye see," suggested Lieutenant Ives. w w .1 "i es, tnat sit, m v sup ported Colonel Marshall. Yesee the girls' ell e"r sleep by this time; lesser go scftly, so's nottcr wake em up. essr'l wanter know what time 'lis."

"That'll do ; now hurry, dear, I want you." "Yes, honey, I'm a coming." Having unbent every rag of canvas, stripped to girtline, I ben: down over the side of the berth, tasted once of little Josey's lips, wife laid back the cover in vitingly, and Dick went over the bac k side and into bed at the first invitation. Josey and I had just laid our figure heads together and ourarmsso lovingly around other, when our attention ga3 sud- denly called to something going on in the next siate-roor- a aft, something that directly began to sound very like a squall. A female voice opened the duet: "Why, Dick, my dear where's your whiskers?" "Who the devil is your dear Dick ?" Major Florence inquired. "Dick my Dick O, mercy on me !" "That's, my husband " chrrped my bedfellow, starting up. "Who are you in my bed ?" "That's my Josey in bed with Major Florence, Who in blazes are you, and whU the deuce are you doir:g in Geen-era- l Burnside ?" and I tried to feel out who my partner was. "Hands off, sir! O This ain't General Burnside; it's Dewit Clinton." "Dewit d n !" and away I went sprawling out on the floor. "Help murder! Cap tain!" "Husband ! squealed Mrs. Major Flor- ence, tumbling end over end out of the bunk, and sitting down square on my stomach. "There's my husband ia there Dick ! Dick Marline! My dear!

' Open the door ! Get out of the way! Don't. you touch ine f" piped Josey Marline ; and ju.-- t there was a hurrah from the other side of the ship, and the state-roo- m next aft from General Burnside, and out we came star board and port, tangled ioio an everlast- ing snarl, out into the bread glare of thn cabin, every shoulder-stra- p w.ih souie other man'f wife, all hands cf us with "nothing to wear," or very little of it. Everybody had beeri in bed wfth some- body that didn't belong to them. Wom- en squealing, to find their husbands, and trying to faint when they had ; nen raving, pitchmg, and cursing into Fore and aft along the cabin, passengers came out of bed, by the the, to see what the riot was. Somebody yelled "7re" "Boiler to burst!" screamed somebody else. "Rebel bat tery opened on us!" volunteered a volun teer shoulder-strap- . "Boat's struck a snag !" reared afoul anchor. '.'The dev- il's broke loose," said a Kentuckian.- - gene clean crazy, I do be- lieve." remarked a. quiet old Indiana la- dy, and she was nearer fight th'an any one eUe. After a while they began to get th-la- y uf the land, and then everybody hur- rahed ! ha ! ha'd ! and the men roared out bully I and the undressed dimity cut for dress and decenty. Then we discovered that four of our party hadn't turned up yet. There were Colonel Orton and his wife. -- They were all right, of away in old Millard Fillmore." But there were Mrs. Ives and Colcnel Marshall. No, they were not there. Then where were ibey Wl y. laid cut ih bed alongside of each other, in Burnside, and both as fast alep as if they'd swallowed all mor- phine in the urgeou'g locker. When we thock them up at last, and tuld them what they'd been at.the Lieutenant's wife said, in a sleepy sort tf fashion, "She didn't eee much d ffVrence to speak tf between the Colonel and her hubaurf." At a second atremp'ei we paired effi and put ourselves awry correctly, lut we never quite believed that that misplacing and mixiriar up latch keys, was all quite ao i.i nor en a miiiake as unon pretended. ! rrirr vnri vrt tt mrvfii A THRILLING STHT. John Taylor was licensed when a youth cf twenty one, to practice at the bar. He was poor, but well educated, and posses- sed genius. H married a Deadly' who afterwards "deserted him for another. On the 9.h cf April, 1S40, the court house in Clarksville, Texas, was crowd- ed to An exciteinj case was about to be tried. George Hopkins, a wealthy planter had offered a gross in- sult to Mary Ellison, tbe young and beautiful wife of nis overseer. The hus- band threatened to chastise him for the outrage, when Hopkins went to Ellison'i house and shot him in his own door. The murderer was arrested and bailed answer the charge. This occurrence produced great excitement, and Hopkins in order to turn the tide of popular had circulated reports against her character, and she sued him for slander. Both suits were pending for murner and slander. . The interest became deeper when it was known that Ashley and Tike, of Ar- kansas, andS. S. Prentiss, of New Or- leans, by enormous fees, had been re- tained to defend Hopkins. The slander siit was for the 9ih, tfnd the throng of spectators grew in number as well as excitement; public opinion was setting in for Hopkins; his moaey had procured witnesses who served his powerful advocates. When the slander case was called. Mary Eilison was left without an attor- ney all had withdrawn. "Have you no council ?" inquired Judge Mills, looking kindly at the plaint-iff- . "No, sir, they have all deserted me, and I am too poor to employ any more,'' replied the beautiful Mary bursting into tears. "In such a case will some chivalrous member of the profession volunteer ?" said the Judge, glancing around the bar. The thirty lawyers were silent. "I will, your honor " said a voice from the thickest part of the crowd behind the tar. At the tone oi tLat voice many staripd it was ib unearthly, sweet and mournful. ' The first sensation was changed into laughter, a tall paunt, pctral figure &1 bowed his nay ihroueh the crowd,' and placed himself within the bar. His cloth mg was so shabby that the court hesitat ed to let the case proceed under his man ogement. "Has your name been entered on the rolls of the State?" demanded the Judge. If iq lmmntpriftl " nrmrprf fl th stranger, his thir, bloodies lips curling up with a fiendish fneer. "Here is my license from the highest tribunals in America !" and handed the Judge a broad parchment. The trial went on. He suffered the witnesses tell their own story, and he allowed the defense to lead off. Ashley spoke first, followea by and Prentiss. Tha latter brought house down in cheers, in which the jury joined. It was the stranger's turn ; he rises before the bar, ncr behind it and so near the foreman that he might touch the foreman with his long bony finger. He proceeded to tear to pieces the arguments of Ashley, which melted away at his touch like frost before the sunbeam; every one looked surprised. Anon he came to the daxzelinf. wit of the poet- - lawyer. Then the Curl of his lip grew sharper, his smooth face begun to kindle up and his ejes to open dim and dreary no long-e- r, but vivid as lightning, red as fire glebes, and glaring as twin meteors. Th whole soul was in the eye ; the full heart streamed oat of his face. Then without bestowing an allusion to Pren- tiss, turned short round on the perpred witnesses of Hopkins, tore ir tettiino-n- y into shreds, and hurl-- d into their faces such terrible invectives that a! trembled like Aspens, and two of them fled the court house. The excitement of the crown was be- - comtn? tremendious. iheiT united lite and icul feemed to Lang upon the burn- ing tongue tf the stranger; he inspired them with the power of his malignant passions; he spemed to have stclrnna-ture'- s long hidden secret of attraction.

A SAMPLE OF

It was a fev days after GeneralsHanks and Grant had phut up the rebelshops at Port Hudson and Vicksburg, and

opened the all thethrough, that seven of us

four in the land and three in the naralservice got permission all at the sametimes to run up stream, or anywhere elsewe pleased, so we didn't run within therebel lines, and recuperate for six weeks.We had all worked long1 and faithfullydown their in the low country, ?cd fairlyparnen our turlougris, -

It was somethingjust a tiifla singularthat'we were' all intimately acquaintedwith each other, ail rnf Tried men,' andtiiM ( lie seven wives of seven of us

ulJ have all arrived, in New Orh-an-

only tue day before we oivur furloughs,and were all quartered together at thv;

Veranda, and got up to the hour of ourmeeting at the Exchange, when weagreed to all go tip the river ia company,there wasn't of the number a single soulwho hod seen his wife since her arrival.

Without regard to rank or order, thelist in the male line reades asfollo.vs:Lieut. Harry C.Jones, U. S. N., Col.George Marshall, th Ohio Infaniry,Capt. ih New York,Lieut. thCavalry, George Coif man, pilot MajorJohn P. Florence. th Connecticut Ar-

tillery, Dick Maline, U. S. N.There we were, of all arms and from

all sections of universal Uniondom, hus-

tled to gether by accidem, and all boundup stream by the same steamer, and thatsteamer, the big new, first-clas- s clipperWestern World of Pittsburg, CaptainHenry Norton, which we had ascertainedwas going to shove cfTtrora the levee a:tsix o'clock P. M.

Our first duty was cut over to theVeranda and introduce ourselves to ourwives, and introduced our compan-ions to ihem all round and this havingbeeu we pitched upon Col.Ortonasour best pack-hors- e and mostfinished ladies' man of the mob, to waiton dimity down aboard the steamer,secure staterooms, stow away luggage,and get and everybody all snugwhile the remainder of us trotted aboutown to finish qp forty unfinished littleduties, and procure fifty little trifles forgeceral comfort, the most importantamong1 which were several dozen bottles

in saw dust, ar.d divers overgrown decan-

ters in willow jackets.We were as busy all day with our du-

ties as Orton must have been wkh his,tut we got through with all, and on board

with our own various wares and wives

in gocd time, making square calculationsto 1 e'.e another that night on board theWestern World. And we did, only it

was a confounded queer time the last end

cf it.WTe were a trifle near sighted, I think,

by the time we pot onboard, fifteen min-

utes before the steamer thoved off from

the but we could rce well epoughwhen Orton piloted us around to our wives

nr.d quarters alaft the wheel house, that

there vas a premise cf comfort and ccn-veiiiet- ce

nbcut cvr rccom.-i.odation-s.

Su!c rocms fitted up l.ke bridal cham-

bers, toilet fixtures, sofas, rosewood rock-

er?, and(berths wide enough for two we

njticed Uiat and then there

was a new kink to us in theof our lodgings. Instead of being num-

bered, as is usual, or lettered, we had

sometimes seen the thing done, there was

a fancy glass plate up over each stateroom door, with the name of some one of

our American immortals on itMa gilt le-

ttersas Clay, W'ebster, Jackson, etc.As our programme was to have one

of that jolly time of ours out in thesocial ball that night, wfcnight possiblyforget that we had wive? waiting for asas many a better and" worse man than we

were, have dpne, so we set about

the of entering our

lodgings without disturbing our wives, in

case they , should happen to be turned in

when we came homa.

All admirable, coald n't be im-

proved, dead latches to the locks, so thatour wives could fasten themselve3 in. an deverybody but their husbands out. Cap-

ital idea, that. "Give us our keys, Col-

onel, while We think of it. .And Orton,who had the brasa talismans in his pock-e- l,

distributed them verya little over eaca medal attached to

the keys, to be sure he wasYorre'ct, serv-

ing out us Clinton, Burcside, Gov.

Curtin, &c , which we pocketed quite ascarefully against the time of need.

Now the first gtiess would naturallybe, that separated from five twentymonths from our wives as we had been,our first devotion would have been paid

to them. But that was just the' reasonwhy Ve chose to spend awhile" in thesocial hall first.

There were at l.-a-si forty fellow shbiil- -

der-strap- s on board who knew all. thematrimonial ropes, and I suppose a hund-

red more b on. compactions, and if we had

ruthed in to hugging and kissing, and

taken to locking ourselves into our room's

So afetr tea we went forward, gotkept ori growin? hazier, till

about ten o'clock, when CJk Orton madean appeal to our generosity. had

didn't feet as well as he 'might. Would

we let him off?' He wanted to turn in.Yes, we would He was a drychip, anyhow not much ginger in him.Go on, Colonel go and turn in'. So on

went Col. Orton, and off we went on oarjubilee tack agin".

At length, a little before twelvewe voted to square away and run

down for Blanket Bay, and off we went,ma kit g short tacks, with a fair wind on

the passage, down the long saloon, goingafoul of every craft we fell m with wheth-

er at anchor or under weigh, until at last,

we got into the latitude of the glassstatesmen and generals, when we hoveto and hunted up latch-key- s.

All right. We could read plain enoughyet the great gold letters on the glass-an- d

the little brass letters on key tal,lies.

"Here you are General Taylorthat's my harbor, g declar-

ed Lieutenant Ives in somewhat tangledarticulation.

Guv-nor-- or Curtin's may man," wisColonel Marshall's declaralion.. "I'm going to turn in to Dewit Clin-

ton, with little curly Carrie, ' boastedMajor Florence.

"And I am to sail under Burnside,"said Dick Marline, holding up his latchkey closer to the light, to make sure hewas right in the tally.

"Well, I'm blest beautiful if I ain'tbilleted on, or in, Genelal Cameron,"prowled Georje Coleman. .Vlljwevjr,I don't care a cuss who's over me, solong as Mary lays alongside. AH right,

S that leaves me General Scott,"said Captain Hamilton; taking a near-

sighted look at his latch Ley.' I say, shipmates le les do er thing

quieter, ye see," suggested LieutenantIves.

w w .1"i es, tnat sit, m v supported Colonel Marshall. Yesee thegirls' ell e"r sleep by this time;lesser go scftly, so's nottcr wake em up.essr'l wanter know what time 'lis."

"Yes let's go softly," everybody re-sp- or

ded ; ar.d so we went like burglars to

our respective key-hob- s, and let ourselvesin to. stiil y'cu couldn't have heard a clickora crack of a single d'r.- -

I was inside in the dark, and haulingaway al fny-starboa- boot, when lit1 lr

dimity woke'up about half way,

her hand sleepily like. rd- - laying it on

my port leg by guess, said in & sbrt cf

dreamy way:"Ah, that you, hutband ? WTbat kept

Don't talk so loud. There's the Majorin the next room, and there's only aninch pine wall between U3. I'll tell youall about it when I get into bed."

"That'll do ; now hurry, dear, I wantyou."

"Yes, honey, I'm a coming."Having unbent every rag of canvas,

stripped to girtline, I ben: down over theside of the berth, tasted once of littleJosey's lips, wife laid back the cover invitingly, and Dick went over the bac kside and into bed at the first invitation.Josey and I had just laid our figure headstogether and ourarmsso lovingly around

other, when our attention ga3 sud-

denly called to something going on inthe next siate-roor- a aft, something thatdirectly began to sound very like a squall.A female voice opened the duet:

"Why, Dick, my dear where's yourwhiskers?"

"Who the devil is your dear Dick ?"Major Florence inquired.

"Dick my Dick O, mercy on me !""That's, my husband " chrrped my

bedfellow, starting up. "Who are youin my bed ?"

"That's my Josey in bed with MajorFlorence, Who in blazes are you, andwhU the deuce are you doir:g in Geen-era- l

Burnside ?" and I tried to feel outwho my partner was.

"Hands off, sir! OThis ain't General Burnside; it's DewitClinton."

"Dewit d n !" and away I wentsprawling out on the floor.

"Help murder! Captain!"

"Husband ! squealed Mrs. Major Flor-

ence, tumbling end over end out of thebunk, and sitting down square on mystomach.

"There's my husband ia there Dick! Dick Marline! My dear!

body or two in General Euruside. "Letlue t ut ! O, let me cut !" renamed Mre.

Major Florence. ' Open the door ! Getout of the way! Don't. you touch ine f"piped Josey Marline ; and ju.--t therewas a hurrah from the other side of theship, and the state-roo- m next aft fromGeneral Burnside, and out we came starboard and port, tangled ioio an everlast-ing snarl, out into the bread glare of thn

cabin, every shoulder-stra- p w.ih souieother man'f wife, all hands cf us with"nothing to wear," or very little of it.Everybody had beeri in bed wfth some-

body that didn't belong to them. Wom-

en squealing, to find theirhusbands, and trying to faint when theyhad ; nen raving, pitchmg, and cursinginto Fore and aft along thecabin, passengers came out of bed, by thethe, to see what the riot was. Somebodyyelled "7re" "Boiler to burst!"screamed somebody else. "Rebel battery opened on us!" volunteered a volun

teer shoulder-strap- . "Boat's struck asnag !" reared afoul anchor. '.'The dev-

il's broke loose," said a Kentuckian.- -

gene clean crazy, I do be-

lieve." remarked a. quiet old Indiana la-

dy, and she was nearer fight th'an anyone eUe.

After a while they began to get th-la- y

uf the land, and then everybody hur-

rahed ! ha ! ha'd ! and the men roared outbully I and the undressed dimity cut fordress and decenty.

Then we discovered that four of our

party hadn't turned up yet. There wereColonel Orton and his wife. -- They wereall right, of away in oldMillard Fillmore." But there wereMrs. Ives and Colcnel Marshall. No,they were not there. Then where wereibey Wl y. laid cut ih bed alongside ofeach other, in Burnside, and both as fastalep as if they'd swallowed all mor-

phine in the urgeou'g locker. Whenwe thock them up at last, and tuld themwhat they'd been at.the Lieutenant's wifesaid, in a sleepy sort tf fashion, "Shedidn't eee much d ffVrence to speak tfbetween the Colonel and her hubaurf."

At a second atremp'ei we paired effiand put ourselves awry correctly, lut we

never quite believed that that misplacingand mixiriar up latch keys, was all quiteao i.i nor en a miiiake as unonpretended. !

John Taylor was licensed when a youthcf twenty one, to practice at the bar. Hewas poor, but well educated, and posses-

sed genius. H marrieda Deadly' who afterwards "deserted him

for another.On the 9.h cf April, 1S40, the court

house in Clarksville, Texas, was crowd-

ed to An exciteinj case

was about to be tried. George Hopkins,a wealthy planter had offered a gross in-

sult to Mary Ellison, tbe young and

beautiful wife of nis overseer. The hus-

band threatened to chastise him for theoutrage, when Hopkins went to Ellison'ihouse and shot him in his own door.

The murderer was arrested and bailedanswer the charge. This occurrence

produced great excitement, and Hopkinsin order to turn the tide of popular

had circulated reports againsther character, and she sued him forslander. Both suits were pending formurner and slander. .

The interest became deeper when itwas known that Ashley and Tike, of Ar-

kansas, andS. S. Prentiss, of New Or-

leans, by enormous fees, had been re-

tained to defend Hopkins.The slander siit was for the 9ih, tfnd

the throng of spectators grew in numberas well as excitement; public opinionwas setting in for Hopkins; his moaeyhad procured witnesses who served his

powerful advocates.When the slander case was called.

Mary Eilison was left without an attor-

ney all had withdrawn."Have you no council ?" inquired

Judge Mills, looking kindly at the plaint-iff- .

"No, sir, they have all deserted me,and I am too poor to employ any more,''replied the beautiful Mary bursting into

tears."In such a case will some chivalrous

member of the profession volunteer ?"said the Judge, glancing around the bar.

The thirty lawyers were silent."I will, your honor " said a voice from

the thickest part of the crowd behind thetar. At the tone oi tLat voice manystaripd it was ib unearthly, sweet andmournful. '

The first sensation was changed into

laughter, a tall paunt, pctral figure &1

bowed his nay ihroueh the crowd,' andplaced himself within the bar. His cloth

mg was so shabby that the court hesitated to let the case proceed under his man

ogement."Has your name been entered on the

rolls of the State?" demanded the Judge.If iq lmmntpriftl " nrmrprf fl th

stranger, his thir, bloodies lips curlingup with a fiendish fneer. "Here is my

license from the highest tribunals in

America !" and handed the Judge a broad

parchment. The trial went on.He suffered the witnesses tell their

own story, and he allowed the defense tolead off. Ashley spoke first, followea by

and Prentiss. Tha latter broughthouse down in cheers, in which the

jury joined.It was the stranger's turn ; he rises

before the bar, ncr behind it and so

near the foreman that he might touch theforeman with his long bony finger. Heproceeded to tear to pieces the argumentsof Ashley, which melted away at histouch like frost before the sunbeam; everyone looked surprised. Anon he came to

the daxzelinf. wit of the poet- - lawyer.Then the Curl of his lip grew sharper,his smooth face begun to kindle up andhis ejes to open dim and dreary no long-e- r,

but vivid as lightning, red as fire

glebes, and glaring as twin meteors.Th whole soul was in the eye ; the full

heart streamed oat of his face. Thenwithout bestowing an allusion to Pren-

tiss, turned short round on the perpredwitnesses of Hopkins, tore ir tettiino-n- y

into shreds, and hurl-- d into their facessuch terrible invectives that a! trembledlike Aspens, and two of them fled

the court house.

The excitement of the crown was be- -

comtn? tremendious. iheiT united liteand icul feemed to Lang upon the burn-

ing tongue tf the stranger; he inspiredthem with the power of his malignantpassions; he spemed to have stclrnna-ture'- s
