been foreseen, by conipmiiig the talents of
the counsel engaged on either side. The
'l‘exzin"law_-,'ers were utterly overwhelmed
T by the argument and eloquence of their op-
poncnts. It was a fight of dwarfs against
giants. _
The slander suit was set for the 9th, and
the throng of spectators grew in numbers
as well as excitciiient, and what may seem
strange, the current of public sentiment
now ran decidedly for l'_Iopkins. ills nio-
iiey hadprocured perjui-ed witnesses, who

The tliiity‘ liiu-yr-i's were silent as death.
Judge Mills repeated the question.
“I will, your Honor,” saida voice from
the thickest part of the crowd situated lie-
hind the bar. At the tones of that voice
many started half way from theip. seats;
and perhaps there was not a heart in the
ininiense tliroiig, vvliich did not beat some-
thing qiiicker-—it was so unearthly sweet,
clear, ringing and mournfiil.
The first sensation, however, was chan-
ged into general laughter, ‘when a tall,

once was a problem to puzzle the sphitix
herself. His high, pale brow,and small,
nervously-twitching face, seemed alive with
the concentrated essence and cream of ge-
nius; but then his infantile blue eyes, bard-
ly visible beneath their massive arches,
loaikc-:l dim, dreamy, almost unconscious,
and his clothing was so exceetlingly shab-
by, that the court hesitated to let the case
procved under his nianagetnent. _
"' Has your name" been entered on the
rolls of the State ?” demanded the Judge,
suspiciously. _
“ It is imtmitcrial about my name being
on your rolls,” answered the stranger, his
thin, bloodless lips ciii-ling up with a fien-
dish sneer. “ I tnay be allowed to appear
once, by the courtesy of the court and bar
llere is my licenscfroiii the highest tribu-
mil in America,” and he handed Judge
Mills ii brnarl pa.rc.binent. The trial imme-
diately went on.
In the cxainination of Witnesses, the
stranger evinced but little ingc-nuity,iis
was commonly tliouglit. He suffered each
one to tell his own story without interrup-
-tion, though he contrived to make each one
tell it over two or three times. He put
flaw cross questions, which with keen wit-
nesses, only serve to. correct‘ mistakes; and
he made no notes, which, in mighty tneiii-
ories, always tend to embarrass. The ex-
amination being ended,§a counsel for the
plaintiff he! had a right to the opening
speech, as well as the close; but to the as-
tonisliinent ofevery one, he dcc'it'ictl the

Then in shadow might have been observed

darken even the bright eyes of Prentiss.
