bieg.
The venire being empanneled and
the jury solemnly charged by tbe
olerk, the Commonwealth's Attorney
called, in support of tbe indictment,
the witness, Buck Bryant, who, being
solemnly sworn tbe truth to tell, testi?
fied as follows:
Question by tbe Commonwealth's
Attorney?Tell all you know about
the cutting of the prosooutor by Cisna
day, the prisoner at the bar
Answer?Well, gentlemen, it was
election dsy?'twas a dark, eloudy,
wet eort of drizzly day; aud says I to
my old woman, I believe I'll go down
to Binggold and 'posit my vote. And
says my old woman to me, Well, Buck,
as it is a sort of dark, olondy, wet sort
of a day, says she,'hadn't you better
take your umbrill? 8sys I to the old
woman, I 'speot I had better take the
umbrill. Bo I took the umbrill and
advanced on down towarda Binggold;
and when I got down tbar, Mr. Cole
oomed, aud says be, Uncle Back, have
you seed anything of neighbor Harris?
Bays I to Mr. Cote, For why? 8ays
he, He's get my umbrill. The witnesa
was here interrupted by the Court,
and told to confine himself to tbe
aotnal fray between the prisoner aud
Cole, tbe proaeontor. Iu answer to
this, the witness remarked, in a tone
of indignant remonstrance. Well, now,
Mr. Judge, you bold on, for I am
sworn to tell she truth, and I'm gwine
to tell it my ewn way?so taint whilb
for you to say nothing about it.
Whereupon tbe Commonwealth's At?
torney, being anxious to get rid of the
witness upon auy terms, told bim to
go on and tell the tale his own way.
Well, as I was going ou to say, 'twas
on election day, Buckanan end Filmo
was running for the Legislature, and
says I to my old woman, Old woman,
I believe I'll go down to Binggold and
'posit my vote. Says my old woman
to me, Bay8 she, Buek, as it is a sort of
a dark, rainy, drizzly sort of a day,
hadn't you better take your umbrill?
says she. Says I to the old woman,
says I, I speot I had better take my
umbrill; so I took tbe umbrill,
and advanced on towards Binggold
until I arriv tbar. Well, tbe
first thing I did when I got tbar was
to take a drink of Buckanan whiskey,
wbioh.was montrooa good, and says 1
to myself, says I, Old Hose yon ft el
better now, don't you? And while I
was advancing around, Mr. Cole, be
came to me, aays he, Unole Buck, says
he, have you seen .anything of old
neighbor Harris? Says I, for why?
Says he, the old oook has got my um?
brill. Arter awhiie I 'posited my vote,
and then Mr. Cole and me advanoed
baok towards home, and Mr. Cole was
tighter than I ever seed him. And so
we advauoed along till we got to whar
tbe road and the path forked, and Mr.
Cole and me took the patb, as any
other gentleman won Id, end after ad?
vancing awhile he arriv to old neigh?
bor Harris eetten on a log with the
umbrill on bis arm, and about that
time Elijah Caasiday (the prisoner)
oomed op, and we advanoed on till we
arriv at Elijah's house. Elijah is my
neffew and likewise son-in-law. He
married my darter Jane, whioh is next
to my darter Sally. Arter we bad ad?
vanoed to Elijah's bouse, we stood in
the yard awhile a jawing, and pre?
sently two somebody's rid up on a
horse, whioh waa Johnson before and
Whit field Oassaday behind; Whit fie Id
and Kiah Casaaday being the same;
Elijah and Kiah is brothers, both
born in the nnt'ral way, like anybody
else's brothers, no gala between 'em,
and both of them is about tbe aame
age, especially Kiah, whioh are the
youngest. Kiah war drunk, and he
and Mr. Cole got tooussin one another
about politix, and I advanoed in tbe
house whar waa Elijah'a wife, wbioh is
my darter Jane, wbioh is next to my
darter Sally. Well, artcr jawing
awhile with 'em, my little neffew, says
he to me, says he, Unole Book, let'a

pegged out togother, and I heard
somebody a oallin' me, but never ten
tioned 'em nor advanoed baok. Well,
I got home and was eating my supper
and Elijah, which is my son-in-law,
and married my darter Jane, wbioh is
next to my darter Sally, arriv, and
says to me, Unole Book, aays be, I've
killed a man. Says I, tbe hell you

Friday.?Friday, long regarded as
a day of ill-omen, has been an eventful
one in Amerioan history. Friday,
Christopher Columbus sailed on his
voysge of discovery. Friday, ten
weeks after, he discovered America.
Friday, Henry VII of England gave
John Cabot his oommipsion whioh led
to the discovery of North Amerioa.
Friday, St. Augustine, tbe oldest town
in the United States, was founded.
Friday, tbe Mayflower with the pil
Srims arrived at Prinoetown, and on
'riday, they signed the august com?
pact, the forerunner of the present
Constitution. Friday, George Wash?
ington was bora. Friday, Bunker

the surrender of Saratoga was made.
Friday,' the surrender of Cornwall!* at
Yorktown occurred, and on Friday,
tbe motion waa made in Congress tbat
the United Ooloo is* were and of right

Julliver bimeelf.
1 ijiXtfpittfioii Suoobss in Lira?Here
ate useful suggestions from a member
of tbe'BHtisri Parliament, Lord Der
by, who is a robust, manly man. He'
eeywY3.^iH'-i
"Take two meu, if bey ooald be
foubd, exactly'alike io mental ami
bodily, aptitudes, and let one go on
OMtrvTeltiety- add idly, indulging hia ap
petitea, and generally leading a life of
pleasure; let the other train himself by
early board, by temperate habits, and
by giving to mnsolea and brain each
their fair abaro of employment, and at
the end of two or three years they will
be as wide apart io their capacity for
exerting, as if they had been born
with wholly different constitutions.
Without r. normal, healthy condition,
there can, as a rule, be no good work;
and though that qualification oannot
absolutely be secured or preserved by
any rules, a little common sense and
oare will go a long ways, both in secur?
ing and preserving.
On that point I would give you these
hints: First, that it is not mental labor
that hurts snybody, unless the excess
be very great, but rather fretting and
fidgeting over the prospect of labor to
be gone through; so that the mau who
can acoustom himself to take things
coolly, which is unite as much a mat?
ter of discipline as of nature, and
who, by keeping well before-hand with
what he has to do, avoidB undue hurry
and nervous exoitement, bus a great
advantage over one who follows a dif?
ferent practioe. Next, I would warn
you that those students who think they
have no time for bodily exercise will
sooner or later have to find time for
illness. Third, when an opportunity
of cboioe is given, morning work ih
generally better than night work; and
lastly?a matter which I should not
stop to allude to but that I know the
dangers of an over-driven existence in
a crowded town?if a mau cannot get
through bis day's labor, of whatever
kind it may be, without artificial sup?
port, it should be a aerious considera?
tion for bim whether that kind of
labor is fit for bim at all."
Abohbishop Mankind's Reply to
Gladstone.?A London despatch,
dated January 80, says: Archbishop
Manning has issued a pamphlet of 200
pages, io reply to Gladstone's expostu?
lation. He declares that the Vatican's
deorees have not changed the condi?
tions of civil allegiance. The alle?
giance of Catholics is as undivided as
.that, of any other Obristisns. Ques?
tions of conscience alone could divide
it. The' recent decrees have not ex?
tended the power of the Pope. The
jEjamenical Council iu no way touobed
the relations of church and State. Its
decrees merely declared doctrines
which were already matters of faith.
The Pope cannot, therefore, by virtue1
either of these decrees or his supreme
authority, make any claim upon his
adherents of a nature to impair the in?
tegrity Of' their civil allegiance. He
cannot do an aot contrary to Divine
law. To impair civil allegiance would
be oontrary to law. Tbo spiritual
authority of the ohnrcb was indirect
io its operation on temporal affairs.
It indireotly condemns aud declares
not binding such temporal laws as de?
viate from the law of God, and there?
fore impede the attainments of salva?
tion. In regard to the supposition ad?
vanced in argument, that the Pope
might attempt to depose the Queen of
England, the writer remarks that as
the Queou is wholly withdrawn from
the Catholic Churob, every condition
is wanting which would render suoh
deposition justifiable. Tbe Arch?
bishop declares that European powers
have entered into a systematic con?
spiracy against tbe obnrcb, and warns
them that they are thereby wrecking
themselves. In conclusion, ho says
Gladatone'a pamphlet iuvitea Oatholios
to rebel against Di vino authority, and
encourages schism, heresy and deadly
sin.
How to Spell Shakspbabb's Name.
The spelling of Shakspeare's name
baa been an orthographical puzzle that
critics for a century and a half have
labored over. 8tevens, Drake, Dr.
Johnson, Reed, Hazlett, Chateau?
briand, Lamartine, Ulrich and Boden?
stedt spell the name with ten letters,
thus: Bhekspeare; Ghidworth, Mason,
Heath, Lord Campbell. White, Guizot
and Horn insist on eleven letters,
thus: Shakespeare; while still others,
though loss in number and ability, de?
clare for only nine letters, thus: Shaks
pare. William ought to have known
how to spell hia own name, and, as be
wrote it Sbakspeare, we are inclined to
give bim tbe benefit of ten letters as
be plaoed tbem.
Petroleum is so abundant in the
Pennsylvania oil region that tbe more
wells a man bas the poorer be is likely
to be. Wells that would once have
brought $250,000 ore slow at $15,000,
and one man at Titusville, who lately
bad an inoome of $100,000, is now
hardly worth his bat. The exceeding
superabundance of the oil renders it
almost valueless, and It has declined
from $6 to 60 oents per barrel.
Tbe tendenoy of improvements in

words eaoh, were transmitted in ninety
minutes over a single wire, four ope?
rators working at each end thereof.
The old instruments sent from sixty to
eighty words per minute.

A wee bit of girl, while at the break*

Here is a poet who ssys: "I'm sit?
ting sadly on the strand, that stretches
to the water's brink; and as tbe day
slips slowly by, I idly fsld my hands
and think." Whilst he is Bitting on
tbe strand with idle folded hands, his
family at home may be suffering for
tbe necessaries of life. He should
skirmish around before the day slipa
slowly by, and secure a job at digging
a cellar.

Charles Willisms bas been found

"Ob, yes, sir. with the greatest plea?

Poetry is spoiled by the addition of
a single word. A young lady, after
