(cashew GIRL.
“Now, Charlie, you’ll be sure to remem-
ber ?" .
“To remember—What ? said Mr. Meredith,
With a hopeless expression of insanity on his
countenance. Kate Meredith dropped both
hands despairingly at her sides. .
“Charles 1” she exclaimed, “you don’t men
that you have forgotten already P”
“My dear,” said Mr. Meredith,fumbling in
the depths of his overcoat pockets for a miss-
ing glove. “1 may not have forgotten—bu
I don’t exactly remember." .
“The oysters?" suggested his wife.
“Oh. yes, the oysters," said Mr. Meredith. '
“And the two onces of double zephyr scar-
let wool.”
“Exactly.”
“And the depot hack to be in waiting at 2
o'clock for your cousin from Philadelphia.”
Mr. Meredith slapped one hand on the ta’v
ble. ‘
“She is coming today, I declare to good—
nessl” he ejaculated
“And a dozen Havana oranges for desert.
and two pounds of white grapes andsome of
those delicious little Naples biscuit and mac-
caroons—oh, and-let them send up a girl from
St Clair’s.”
“A—which ?”
“A girl, you goose. For general house-
work. Phebe went home this morning with
. the face-ache, and I can’t be left alone with
company coming and all. Mind she’s a good
cook and understands waiting on table."
And Mr. Meredith rushed off to catch the
9:30 express, witha kaleidoscope confusion
of grapes, zephyr wool, depot hacks, oysters
and servant maids careering through his
brain.which boded ill for Mrs. Meredith’s do-
.mestic plans.
While that lady, clasping both hands over
her forehhad,in a sort of tragic despair,rushed
down into the kicthen, where a very good-
looking young man of two or three and twenty
was on his knees in front of the range trying
to coax a most unwilling fire to burn.
The good docking young man glanced up
with a comical sparkle in his eyes, and a
smudge of soot traversing the bridge of his
nose. ‘
"Well ?” said he.
“Tom,” cried she, hysterically, “can you
make a lobster salad ?"
“Like a book," said Tom.
“And coffee ?”
“I learned in Paris.”
“Good. And I can make buttermilk biscuit
—and, between us, we .will get up a decent
lunch for a young lady from Philadelphia.
As for dinner—1’
“Well ?” again remarked the young man,
with the soot besmudged nose.
“Providence must 'Drovide !" sighed the
matron. ,
“There’s an old chintz-colored rooster in
the barnyard: If I could catch him, I’d have
a chicken stew.”
“Then you do not know what you are talk-
ing about,” said the lady with some asperity.
“N0."
“Then you do not know what you are
talking about,” said the lady with some as—
perity. -
“Yes I do too. Onions, potatoes, celery,
pearl barley, with a pinch of salt, and—”
“Nonsense l” interposed Mrs. Meredith.
“Go pick that lobster out of its shell, and
leave of romancing. You are a great deal
better at poetry and newspaper sketches than
you are in the kitchen; though to be sure,"
with a twinge of conscience, “goodness
- knows what I should do without you just in
this particular emergency, you deny old dar—
ling,"
The lobster was only half picked out of its
shell,the buttermilk biscuit was still unmixed,
and Mrs. Meredith, with a pocket-handker—
chief tied around her pretty brown hair, was
dusting the little drawing-room, when there
came a ring at the door-bell. She put her.
turbaned head out of the window in a most
unceremonious manner.
“Whois there!’, she demanded in a high
contralto.
“Does Mrs. Meredith live here ?" retorted a
woman‘s voice, And “e same instant the
young matron caught sight of a neat black
leather bag,:a black alpaca dress, and a shawl
of the plainest Highland plaid, '
“It is the new girl,thank Providence l" said
Mrs. Meredith, as she ran down the stairs,
thanking honest Charlie in her heart for his
unexpected prompitude.
“Come in,” said she, opening the door wide
“I am so glad you are punctual, my good
girl. From the St. Clair's Intelligence Bu—
reau, I suppose. No, don’t take off your
things up here; the servants room is below
stairs; you may as well come directly down
to the kitchen." .
She led the way down,followed by the new
giri,whose countenance bore a rather bewild-
ered expression.
“What is your name ?" she asked,patroniz-
lngly. .
“My name ? Oh, it’sMartha," replied the
stranger, in some confusion. -
“Martha ?” critically repeated Mrs. Mere-
dith. "What an ugly name! I think I shall
call you Pattie. Have you any good refer-
ences ?"
“I—believe so.”
“I think,” said Mrs. Meredith, surveying
her from tip to toe, “you are a little over—-
dressed for your station, Pattie ; but of course
you have gome plainer clothes in your trunk,
when it comes ?"
The stranger lifted a pair of grave blue
eyes to the fall form, girded around with a
. towel, who was vigorously wrestling with the
claws of a stupendous lobster at the table be
yond.
“Do you keep a man—cook?” asked the
irl.
8 Mrs. Meredith drew herself up.
“Certainly not. This is my brother, Mr.
.Selwin, who is kindly assisting me to make a
salad.” . ' .
“But he is not doing it right. He will
never get meat out of the shell in that way.
Let me show you, Mr. Selwin.”
And. with deft fingers she loosened the
luscious white fibre from the scarlet shell in
a manner that made Mr; Selwin cry out
“Bravo l"
“And now Paitie, I will show you where
the things are, and leave you to get up as
nice a lunch as you can for 2,30 o'clock;
we are expecting my husband's cousin from
Philadelphia. I want everything in perfect
order. " _ ‘ -
“I will finish the salad,” said Tom, who.
had secretly been observing the pretty face
and trim figure of the new domestic, “now
that I have commenced it. But you need
not look perturbed. Pattie. if that is your
name. I will be careful not to get in your?
way. And you can ask my sister if I am
not' a handy sort of a fellow around the
kitchen.” ,
Kate shook her head surreptiously at Tom
behind the screen, but Tom resolutely afiect-
ed not to perceize the warning gesture.
Half an hour afterward he came up to the
dining rodm where Mrs. Meredith was ar-
ranging her best lilac and gold china.
“Kate, she is a jewel! A gem of the first
water! Depend Upon it, she has not always
worked in the kitchen. I quoted Shakespeare
aproposof something or other. I do not re-
member what, and she recognized the grand
old words at once her eyes brightened, and
you should have seen the color come into her
cheeks ?”
“Quoting Shakespeare to a 'common kitchen
girl i" cried Mrs. Meredith, in amazement.
“But I tell you she is not a common kitchen _
gir .”
“I don’t believe in high life below stairs,"
said his sister, disdainfully.
The lunch came up at 2:30 in perfect or-
der,but no cousin from Philadelphia arrived,
no hack rolled up to the door. '
“How provoking I” said Kate, “Miss Mere -
dith must have missed some‘connecting train-
Charlie will be so vexed. But, however, I
do not so much mind company coming in at
any time, now that I have got an excellent
girl." .
The dinner of delicately roasted quail and
rabbit fricasse, with a desert of custard and
jelly, was duly served at precisely 7 o’clock,
at which hour Mr. Meredith bounced in, hot
and flushed with the haste he had made.
“Where is she ?" cried he.
“Where is who ?” cried Kate.
“My cousin, from Philadelphia.”
“Oh! She has not come 1”
“Not come ?” '
“NO I"
Mr. Meredith drew a long sigh of mingled
regret and relief. -
“Then, after all, it is .not so unlucky," said
he. .
“What is not so unlucky? My dear
Charles,you are expressing yourself altogether
in riddles.” ~ ‘
“That I forgot all about the oysters and the
zephyr wool, and the servant gir .”
“Forgot ?"
“Yes—forgot.
enough ?”
“But you did not forget,” remonstrated
Mrs. Meredith. “You sent her. She is here
now, in the kitchen.”
Mr. Meredith started.
“I have sent no one.
Isn’t that plain English
Never thought of
the girl from that moment to this, I give you-
my word of honor.”
“Then who did send her?" ejaculated his
wife, slowly.
“Ring the bell! Let us have her up!
Who knows but she is one of those confi-
dence women, with an eye to the forks and
spoons l” .
As he spoke he jerked the bell- cord with
some energy. In a minute or so the new girl
came up courtesying.
Mr. Meredith uttered an exclamation of
amazement. - . \
“Why.it is Martha Meredith l” shouted be.
“It is my cousin from Philadelphia.”
And _he clasped her in his arms, with a
shower of kisses which made honest Tom’s
hair stand on ends.
“I wish she was my cousin from Philadel-
phia,” .uttered he in a stage whisper, aside.
Kate turned as scarlet as a pepper-bed.
“Oh, good gracious?” she cried, clasping
her little hands, nervously, “and I took her
for a cook ?”
“Andl am a cook when occasion requires,
Cousin Kate,” said pretty Martha Meredith,
making her peace with a kiss. "Do not be so
vexed with me for humoring the joke ; indeed
I could not help it. And I will show you how’
to make meringues glaces and the Neapolitan
creames to—morrqw.” .
And they all sat happily down together to
the roast quails and fricassed rabbits. And
Kate and Martha went to the international
human on the-morrow,established a Milesian
damsel in tokitchen, wh 0 was not at all in»
congruous the herzsurroundings. And Tom,
leaning over his sister’s shoulder, whispered
waggishly: —

One of the ofiicials of Justice alley was
lately waited on by a man who said his name
was Smith and who volunteered the further
information that he was about to get married.
The only stumbling block was the fact that
he would not agree toleave ofi drinking. He
hatfcome to consult his honor on that point
and see what was advisable.
“Well, I’d promise, I guess,” replied the
justice. “It’s a bad habit anyhow, and the
sooner you break it the better. ”
“Well, I guess I will,” answered the man
and went out. In an hour he returned and-
said:
“What do you think? After I promised
that she wanted me to promise to leave off
chawin’ tobaccol”
“Well, I’d do that, too," said His Honor.
“It is another bad habit, and you’ll feel all
the better for breaking it.”
Smith went away again, and when he re—
turned he looked twice as solemn as a frozen
white fish. . .
“And now she wants me to promise to
stop swearing!” he gasped as he fell into a
chair.
“Is she a nice woman?” asked His Honor.
. “She is.” .
“And you truly love her ?”
“I do."
“Well, then I’d stop swearing. It is a
senseless habit, anyhow, and you lose noth—
ing by promising.”
The man concluded to promise and de-
parted quite happy, but when he oncejmore
returned after an interview with the bride—
eleet he was mad.
“There wont be no marriage," he an-
nounced, as he sat down and pounded the
table. .
“Why ? What now P” .
“What now? Why, when I promised to
stop drinking, quit chawin’, and leave off
swearing, she said I must promise to clean
up, shave up and go to church with her.”
“And you won’t do it ?"~
“Judge,” replied Smith, after a struggle
with his mental agitation, “do you suppose
I’m going at it and change myself over to a
gentleman just for the sake of marryinga
forty-year old widow with a mole on her
chin? Never! You can go home! There
won’t be any splicing to do, and from this
time out I'll drink and chew and swear
around four times worser than ever! It’s
too much-it’s the last litraw on the camel's
backl”

THE BUCHOLZ TRIAL.
—-
o
. MONDAY.
Court opened in the afternoon. Mr. Olm-
stead cross-examined Shibley, the hall boy at
the jail, who was impertinent in his answers
and said that the attorney could not scare
him. After a caution from the judge, he tes-
tified that Hineman told him that he was go-
ing to give false evidence against Bucholz,
that Bucholz told him that he killed the old
man, &c. Shibley said he' could tell enough
against Hineman to hang him.
Edward B. Banks, engineer, testified con-
cerninghmp made by him.
W. S. Bouton, justice, testified that when
before him for stealing a boat, W. H. Graft
told him that he had a father and step -lnother
then living on Long Island.
Nathaniel Bouton: while hunting about a
month before'the murder saw a rag in the
woods thirty-four feet from scene of murder;
tflugbt the rag shown in court might be the
one ; did .not pick it up, and declined to
touch it when handed to him.
Josiah Tristram testified that on the day
after the murder he went to Mr. Hoyt’s after
a load of straw; passed the tree where the
watch was found and loaded his wagon within
ten feet of the tree; no snow on the ground;
if the watch had been there then he would
have seen it. ‘
Annie and Sadie Waring testified about
Sam putting thegax in the fire.
Gen. Smith asked that the bill for the
shoulders sold to Schulte and carried _by
Bucholz on night of the murder he admitted
in evidence, to save expense of bringing deal-
er as a witness. Admitted. Shoulders
weighed 28 lbs.
David Dayton recalled, said it was rumored
Schulte was a man of great wealth and always
carried his money on his person.
Daniel L. Millard walked down the track
the afternoon of the murder, going below the
path from the railroad to the Waring place;
he saw there parties which had the appearance
of tramps. They were on the left of the
track and about one hundred feet from the
path The men were desperate looking
men, one of them had a full beard, dark. He
said one of them had an overshirt and over—
alls on. They appeared dingy, were not
white. One of them had his hat drawn down
.over his eyes. Witness said he felt unsafe at
the appearance of these men and returned.
They appeared like desperate characters.
They were in front of some rocks; one of
them was building a fire while one of them
was partially hidden by the rock. He said
this was about 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
Cross-examined —'He said they made no
demonstrations toward him to intimidate him.
He said the appearance of the men led him
to believe they were desperate characters.
Stephen Ostrander, testified he went into
the woods near the scene of the muder on
the day it was committed. lie saw three
men near the clump of rocks as described
by the former witness. He said they looked
like tramps. He saw the faces of two of the
men. One of the men had full beard and
both had moustaches. He said one of the
men had on a frock coat and reddish overalls.
They seemed to changing their clothes. They
were putting on old clothes over better ones.
Witness heard them talking but could not
understand them as they did not speak Eng—
lish. The witness said one of them had
,sandy whiskers. He heard him say that he
might as well be up at Norwalk as anywhere
else. This was said in broken English.
Cross-examined—He said it was soon after
dinner that he saw these men. He was about
one hundred feet away from them.‘ He said
one of them had on a vest and white shirt
which he was covering up with the old clothes.
TUESDAY. '
Leander Wilcox, on the morning of the
murder, saw two strange men on the bridge,
near where the path leaves the track. He
said one of the men was tall with military
whiskers, dark but and white cotton duck
overalls. The other man was a short man.
He wore salmon red overalls and had
light whiskers. He said the overalls were
new with the creases still in them. He was
here shown the overalls which were offered
in evidence and said they looked like the
ones worn {by one of the men, but thought
the material was different. He heard
them talking in German together and saw
them pointing up and down the track. He
saw them again in the afternoon about four
o’clock, at the same place. They were look-
ing up and down the track and pointing in
different directions. They appeared well
dressed about the neck and had on clean
collars and neck ties. He stood within fifty
feet of them
Benj. F. Wilcox saw two strangers on the
morning of the murder, first at the depot,
then on the Springwood bridge when their
dress was different ; they talked in a foreign
language; one. went into Mr. Tolles’ store
and got something to eat. Between 2 and 3
o’clock in the afternoon saw them again, one
of them going into Mr. Tollcs’. The white
overalls worn by one of the men was like
those shown in court. Got the ax fromthe
Waring house and kept it locked up two or
three weeks, then returned it.
Mary Dingee saw Sam Waring grind the
ax.
Eli Savage testified—On the day of the
murder, in the morning, he went to South
Norwalk and returned down the track in the
afternoon, between 3 and 4 o’clock ; he saw
on the bridge a tall man, with apair of light
overalls on, which looked bran new; he had
black whiskers and piercing black eyes—
“seemed to look right through me,” he
said; after remaining home about an hour
he went to South Norwalk and returned
down the track about six o‘clock in the even-
ing ; he reached Spring street bridge just as
the 0:11 train went by, something white flut-
tered from the car window; then a man
came up, stooped down, arose, and went
towards Five- Mile River, after which a stout
man stepped out from the side track and
went back, and the first, man hailed the wit—
ness and asked what time it was ; “I said,
,after six,’ and then he asked if this was
the 6:11 train, to which I replied, ‘Yes;’
next he asked me how long it would take
to walk to’River street, and I told him about
fifteen minutes; then he turned‘to the other
man, and said in broken English, “Fifteen
minutes—just time ;’ he next inquired if the
night express stopped at the next station, and
I said no; then he asked how long it would
take to walk from River street bridge to
Stamford, to which I replied that Ididn’t
know ; as they walked away they made no'
noise, and I thought they had overshoes
on ; after they passed the bridge they walk-
ed as fast as they could ; after this I heard
footsteps, and turning. saw Buchholz and
Schulte come along; Buchholz was about
10 feet ahead; I knew Schulte by sight, as
people in South Norwalk would say when
he went by, ‘There- goes a traveling gold
mine.”
Edwin Hunt, a conductor on the train the
night of the murder, testified as to the ac—
tions of two men who got on, board the train
at Stamford; they were out of breath as if
they had been running; they looked like
Germans; they went to New Haven and one
returned to New York Sunday.
Dr. E. T. Ward, Bridgeport, had examined
the ax in evidence, and said in his opinion
the cut in the hat was not made by the ax,
but by some sharper instrument. He was
asked how themajority of his profession re-
garded blood corpuscles which had been ex-
the. space of so long a time as nine
months: He replied that they regarded it
with doubt. The witness Said it was utterly
impossible for the ax to enter the skull and
dislodge the bone as testified to by other-wit-
nesses, through such a fracture as has been
described. He said he should think that a
blow causing a wound such as described was
given on the top of the skull, would fell a
person almost instantly,'it being directly over
the spinal column. Witness said a wound
inflicted on the skull with an instrument of
this kind would be apt to crash in more of
the skull. > ,
Cross-examined. He said he had been in
practice about ten years. Witness said. he
had had some practice in breaking in human
skulls when he was connected with the Yale
Medical School. for the use of class lectures.
He had used both a hatchet and ax for the
purpose. He had frequently done this to
subjects that had been barrcled up and sent
to him for dissection. He had had some ex-
perience in blood corpuscles. The authori-
ties said they could not be restored to their
normal state after becoming dried. He knew
nothing of this from his own experience.
Witness was asked if he had not taken con—
siderable interest in this case. He replied
nothing unusual. He had‘said that the bot-
tom might fall out of some of the evidence
of the state.
Dr. Burke, South Norwalk, said he saw
the wounds in Schulte’s skull. He said
the wounds were produced by an instrument
more in the shape of the wound and not by
an instrument like the ax. He said the ax
could not enter a wound of the dimensions
given, to the depth of an inch. He’ said a
wound on top of the head, such as has been
testified to,the person receiving it would fall
as quick as though his head had been cut off.
He said the cut in the hat could not have been
made by the ax. He said the profession re -
rded the restoration of blood corpuscles
after ion standing, as very doubtful. 'Gen.
Smith as ed if he thought blood corpuscles
could be restored to their normal size after
the had been “roasted and ground," to
which he answered that he thought it very
doubtful.
Dr. Robert Hubbard, of Bridgeport, was
next called. He said he had examined some
of the exhibits shown in court and read some
of the medical testimony. He was shown a
piece of the skull and he said his impression
was that it was removed by some other in-
strument than the ax, as the piece was par-
tially cut and partially fractured. He thought
it was more probably done with a thin and
sharp instrument. He thought the cut in the
hat was done with some sharp instrument,
the edge of the out being smooth. He said,
assuming the wound in the head being- of the
size described he could not see how it would
be made with an instrument like the ax but
rather from an instrument like a hammer or
hatchet. He said he had had no experience
in 'the restoration of blood corpuscles to
their normal size. He said there were some
who were honest in the belief, th they
could be done, and there were man who
believed they could not. As a rule it was
regarded by the profession as a doubtful mat-
ter. He said in his opinion the wounds as
described were not made by this ax. He
believed it utterly impossible to determine
the blood corpuscles of one animal from
those of another. He said there might be
two men of equal reputation. differ on this
point. In fact there were some experts who
differed on this point.
Jeremiah Donovan testified that after the
murder he had a conversation with Herscher
about a. liquor case pending against him, and
Herscher said “Olmstead has got to drop the
suit against me;” that he was going to ,see
Olmstead who must fix things on account of
his testimony in the Bucholz case; Herscher
said afterwards that everything was all right.
Geo. Schaub kept a boarding house oppo-
lsitc the So. Norwalk depot at the time of. the
murder; on the 23d day of December, 1878,
a. man who gave the name of Moritz Abel
came to board and staid until April 10; he
received many letters but was enga ed in no
business, and had no friends in So. orwalk.
Herman Theil was employed in the So.
Norwalk Post ofilce in December, 1878, and
frequently saw Abel; he thought the person
in question was a German,and he was a mid-
dle sized man, with a black mustache and
reddish hair; at the time of the coroner’s
inquest the witness acted as interpreter for
Bucholz, as at that time the prisoner's
knowledge of English was very limited.
Geo. Wagner, Bl'idgeport, said that Abel
came to board with him on Dec. 15 and staid
until the 23d, leaving without paying; left a
satchel containing two hair brushes of pecul-
iar make without handles, like the one found
near the scene of murder, together with a;
memorandum book, &c., which were offered
in evidencebut objected to.\ The court ruled
that the memorandum book was admissable,
and asked Gen. Smith what his object was in
introducing this evidence, to which he replied
that they proposed to prove that this man,
Moritz Abel, came from Westphalia, where
Schulte’s brother lived, arrived at South
Norwalk a few days before the murder, and
remained there until just after Schulte’s
watch was found, when he returned to Ger-
many. Gen. Smith offered in evidence the
passenger list on a departing steamer for Ger-
many—among whom was Mr. Abel. Mr.
Olmstead objected to the admission of any of
the other articles, because they had not been
identified; so Mr. Bellman, one of the coun-
sel for the defense, took the stand and testified
that he took the articles from the carpet bag at
Wagner’s hotel. A card found in the memor—
andum book was next offered. Mr. Olmstead
again objected and ~the court ruled it out,
upon which the State Attorney stated that
he sent the person whose name was on the
card, to see about Mr. Abel, and that was the
reason it was found in the book. The name
on the card was Chas. Illing.
WEDNESDAY.
State Attorney Olmstead was put upon the
stand and questioned by Gen. Smith regard—
ing what papers of Schulte’s Mr. Olmstead
had in his control. Mr. Olmstead answered
that he had none, but after taking his seat,
modified his reply by stating that he had a
few papers which were taken from Schulte's
pocket book and diary. Gen. Smith then re-
quested Mr. Olmstead to deliver all papers
not used in the case to the administrator of
Schulte’s estate.
Albert Winter, of Bridgeport, took the
witness stand. He was in Germany from
Sept. 26th to Nov. 6th, 1878, leaving Ham—
burg by the steainer Gellert on the latter day
and arriving in New York Nov. 20. He saw
on the vessel Moritz Able and Detective Ill-'
ing. The witness did not find out that Illiug
was a detective until two or three days after
the killing of Schulte. On the steamer Mr.
Winter noticed that Abel was from Cologne,
and saw that he and Illing were very intimate
He afterwards saw Able at Mr. Wagner’s in
Bridgeport.
Gen. Smith then offered in evidence the
original copy of the will of Schulte as record-
ed at the probate office in Norwalk, in order
to show the name of the deceased, and who
was interested in his death.
Mr. Austin, probate clerk, of Norwalk,
then read the copy. The will bequeaths in
case of his death prematurely, to his only
surviving brother. , It also provides that in
case of his brother’s death before him the
estate is to be divided between his legal heirs.
The will was translated in Germany and sent
to the German Consul for record in this coun-
try. ,
Mrs. Waring was recalled to testify that on
Christmas day previous to the murder Wm.
Bucholz killed a chicken for her. He took
it, laid it on the chopping block, struck it
once, and let it go. It flew about, and then
he caught it again and attempted to pull its
head off, after which he wiped his hands on
his pants.
Henry 0. Koehnig was called, and pointed
out on a map that Cologne, where Able came
from, was only a short distance from Barop
near Hagen, where Schulte lived, and not far
from Grossen Holthausen, the place of his
brother’s residence. '
At this point Gen. Smith announced that the
defense rested, which surprised the State’s
Attorney as he expected the defense to occue
py another day. In rebuttal Hineman swore
that he had not spoken to Shibley at all about
the Bucholz case.
Benjamin F. Wilcox testified that Eli J.
Savage told him that if hehad found a hatchet
and would give it to State’s Attorney Olm—
steadlhe could get $50 for it; find that young
Savage told him to go to Mr. Olmstead. tell
him that he had importance evidence, get a
reward for it if he could, and then relate the
story about the men on the bridge.
Benjamin F‘. Ayres testified that Eli J.
Savage told him that a piece of paper was
thrown from the window of the 6:11 train on
the night of Dec. 27th. Ayres continued—I
did not advise Savage to get out of the state,
in order that Gen. Smith might go to New
York and get him to come here and testify,
paying him for it; but Savage told me that
he was going to leave, so that Smith would
have to pay for his testimony. At first Sav—
age was willing to receive a reward for the
hatchet. Considerable of the testimony of
young. Savage about finding of the hatchet
was flatly contradicted by Mr. Ayres.
David Beers also said that the lad, Savage,
had told him that a piece of paper was thrown
from the car window, and that a man went
and picked it up. He admitted that it was
Ayres who thought that he ought to have a
reward for the hatchet, and that Savage did
not speak of it. “I told Ayres that if he
wanted a reward that he could have it,” said
Mr. Beers.
Wednesday afternoon the court did not
open until after 4 o’clock, on account of the
non—arrival of Dr. Treadwell, the blood ex -
pert from Boston. When he arrived the
court was opened, and he was put on the
stand.
He was asked what effect heat upon steel
would have with blood corpuscles of long
standing thereon. Witness replied, “that
would depend on the amount of heat the steel
was subjected to.” ' He said a bright red heat
would tend to destroyfihem, but a dull heat
would not effect them so but that they could
be restored. He gave an illustration with a
knife which he showed to the jury. He said
he drew some blood from his toe which he
smeared on the blade of his knife. He then
heated the centre of the blade to a bright
red heat. He removed some of the matter
from near the centre of the place and restor-
ed some of the corpuscles. He had no diffi-
culty in restoring those taken from the point
and shank of the blade. Witness said he
made this experiment because he saw by the
papers that the ax he had previously exam—
ined had been‘ heated. The witness was
then asked by Mr. Olmstead: "From what
you know about this case have you any
doubt but that the blood found on the ax is
human blood?” He replied, “Not in the
least."
Cross-examined—He was asked by Gen.
Smith. How much do you get per day for
this and what is your contract with the State
Attorney? He replied. The contract was
$2.25. for doing the work and $25 per day
and expenses when called asa witness. The
witness said he Could not tell what degree
of heat would effect blood corpuscles, he had
not experimented to any extent in this. , He.
said the blood he put on the. knife blade in
his experiment was fresh blood. Witness
said some of the corpuscles taken from that
portion of the blade subjected to a bright red
heat were destroyed and some were not. He
did not think the heat effected the shape of '
them. .
Witness was asked whether he had ever
had any experiencein cuts upon woolen with
blunt instruments. This question was ob-
jected to and and the objection overruled.
Witness replied that he had. He said during
his service in the army he had seen such in—
stances. He said blunt instruments will some-‘
times out a clean cuti ‘He had seen such
made by a brick, and again he had seen it
done with a policeman’s billy.
This completed the evidence in the cas c.
On Thursday, Nelson Taylor, Jr., opened
the argument for the State and was followed
by Mr. Bellman for the defense. Mr. Olms-
tead commenced his summing up, and on
Friday Gen. Smith closed the case.
A Forbidden Land.
Corea remains the A'nly oriental country
'not open to foreign 1 nd. Mr. Ernest 0p—
pert made three voyages to the Corea some
years ago, and succeeded in holdingfinter—
course with the authorities, and seemed on
the way to open commercial intercourse.
But nothing was accomplished, and Cores
remains in the seclusion it has pursued for
two thousand years,except when the Chinese
exercised sovereignity there and the Japa-
nese for a time conquered it. Mr. Oppert
has described his three voyages in a book
called A Forbidden Land, and prefaced his
narration with an account of the geography,
history, productions and commercial capa-
bilities of the country. The book is full of
information of an ancient race of Which here-
tofore almost nothing has been positively
known. ,
Corea is a peninsula about 460 miles long
from north to south, its greatest width about
360 miles, and its narrowest point at the
south about 60 miles. It is separated from
China, of which it is entirely independent,
by the Yellow Sea and high mountain ranges.
On the north it has Russia for a neighbord
on land south of the Amoor ceded to Russia
by China within the last twenty years. And
it is said that Russia covets the whole
peninsula. There are several large and im-
portant islands that belong to the country.
The climate is moderate, thoroughly fine and
healthy, and is more flike southern Europe
than that of Asia. The‘vegetation is yery
rich; valleys and hills are covered with
plants and forests; flowers abound, which
the Coreans do not care for or cultivate;
fruits of all sorts a ' plt. ty, both tropical
and other, grain 0?. every variety grows
abundantly, cottont lives, as does tobacco,
hemp, indigo, and tile cork tree and the var-
nish tree. In short, the gifts of nature are
unlimited. The woods are full of game and
wild beasts, including the man eating tiger-
Gold also exists in quartz and in dust in the
river beds ; it has also silver, copper,sulpherl
arsenic, quicksilver, lead and tin, iron ever-
where, and beautiful marble and granite.
No other Asiatic country has so much min-
eral wealth. The seas abound in good flab
and pearl fishing is carried on extensively.
The author estimates the population at
from 15,000,000 to 16,000,000 at present.
The government is a despotic monarchy;
there is a noble class and there are several
vigorous castes, near the bottom of which are
priests, who are thoroughly degraded, and'
below them are the slaves. , The religion is
a corrupted Buddhism, but religion is not
much cared for. In the 17th century the
Catholics made many converts there, who
have been persecuted from time to time.
Aslate as 1868 it is estimated that there were
120,000 Christians in Cores, but persecution
set in, the leading missionaries were decap—
itated, and as many as 10,000 people were
massacred. The people are mostly agricul—
turists and fishermen. The race seems to be
a mixture of Mongolian and Caucassian.
The race is taller and finer formed than the
Japanese or the Chinese. There are hun—
dreds of so—called cities, and some sixty
worthy of the name; the capitol, Saoul, is a
city of from 100,000"to'_150,000. The houses'
aremean structuresof brick and wood,with
sliding doors" and partitions like the J apa-
nese, commonly of Zone story and thatched
with windows 'of ' oil paper, glass being un—
known. There are no fine houses, nor fine
streets in the cities, even the royal palaces
being mean, and there are no handsome pub-
lic buildings or temples. In the interior the
houses are unclean and have little furniture.
There is no literature to speak of, no art, no
chin‘a (porcelain) is manufactured and the
pottery in use is of the rudcst description;
the Coreans are passionately,fond of music,
and like the best foreign music when they
hear it (unlike the Japanese and_,Chinese) but
their music is barbarous. Dancing is a na—
tional pastime, but usually one person dances
at a time, and the sexes never together.
The Coreans are temperate eaters, but not
so temperate in drinking, and prefer strong
liquors, their wine is as strong, smoky and
disagreeable as the Chinese saki; they drink,
little tea. They are described as a simple
and childlike people, indifferent to religion,
but fairly moral and honest; not lacking in
courage but on the whole a mild race, who
would thrive in peace and improve if they
had a decent government. They are grave
and sedate, firm and quick in their walk,
superior to the Chinese in stature and bodily
strength. They, however, lack polish and
good manners altogether, and there1is an ut-
ter want of good breeding in all classes.
The dress is very plain. The men wear a
short jacket and wide trousers, and [some-
times 1oose—fiowing robes. The dress of man
and women is common white, or would be.
if it were clean. The garments are cotton;
silk are worn only by the highest class;
woolens are not manufactured and are little
known. The soldiers (the army- is small)
and the police were dark blue clothing. The
common hat is broad brimmed,‘high crowned
and made of split bamboo. lacquered black
and occasioniilly yellow.
Very little is known about the women, as
few of them have been seen by foreigners.
In towns they remain in their apartments
all day, but in the country they have a little
more freedom,'~,‘and many of them work in
the fields. The author, who had glimpses
of two or three, thinks them prepossessing in
appearance. It {is a great offense against
modesty for a woman to be seen in the pub—
lic streets in the day time. In the cities a
singular arrangement exists. At 9 o’clock
in the evening, during summer, and at an
earlier hour in winter, the city gates of
Saoul’s and Other towns are closed at;a signal.
Then all men are bound to leave the streets
and these are abandoned to the women for
the purpose of recreation and promenading.
Any man belated in the streets is sure to
hurry home without looking about him, and
he is liable to severe punishment if he
molests a woman in the least. If he meets
a woman, he puts up his arm to hide his
face, and crosses the streetto avoid terrify-
ing her. Polygamy prevails, but only the
highest class can afford morelthan one wife.
Nuptial ceremonies do not exist; when a
marriage is arranged, the husband takes the
bride to his home, and can treat her as he
likes, she being part of his goods. The au-
thor thinks the Coreans not so immoral as
Pere Reges (a Catholic missionary in China
la the seventeenth century who had never
been in Corea) made them out; the social
evil does exists every where, and the laxity of
morals is not in the eye of the Asiatics as
heinous an offense as it is in ours; but they
are better than their neighbors, the J apanese.
Theft is punished vcry severely; and it isthe
habit to leave all houses open and make no
protection against thieves.
The language is a distinct idiom, totally
different from the Chinese and Japanese,
and is as difficult t’o study and master aslhe
Chinese. It is presumed that the natives
have legends if they have no literature.
The author mentions one folk belief that re-
minds us of an English superstition. The
natives talk of afabulous animal found in
the deepest forest but has not been seen for
ages past,a mixture of the horse and thestag,
with a single bone in its forehead. Thisis'

The Happy Hour. I
The busy day is over,
The household work iodone;
The cares that fret the morning
Have faded with the sun 3‘
And in the tender twilight,
I sit in happy rest,
With my darling little baby
Asleep upon my breast.
White lids, with silken fringes,
Shut out the warning light;
A little hand close-folded '
Holds mamma’s fingers tight;
And in there soft white wrappings,
At last in perfect rest,
Two dainty feetare cuddled,
Like birdies in a nest.
All hopes and loves unworthy
Depart at this sweet hour;
All pure and noble longings
Renew there holy power;
For Christ who, in the vineyard,
Our motherhood has blest,
Is near to every woman
With a.baby on her breast. /
—From Home life in Song.
The Stage Driver’s Story.
' WYOMING KIT.
I know it’s presumin’ for one sich as me
Fur .to talk to’ a lady so grand;
It’s jist like an imp from Satan's domains,
'Chinnin’ one from the heavenly land !
But you’ve axed fur my story, ma’am, neat
and perlite,
An’ I'll tell it the best that I kin;
Leavin' out all thct’s rough or of vulgar de-
gree,
Skippin’ ovef allteches of sin.
I come to these mountains in ’50, and hyar
I’ve remained as you see ever sence;
drove on the overland line till the keers
Slang the coaches'way over the fence.
An’ then I tried minin’, an went through my
pile .
In a manner most deucedly fiat;
Then I chopped on that lay, an’ got fur to
herd ~ .
Texas cattle up that on the Platte.
“From the States?” do you ask? yes, I fust
saw the light »
In Ohio, an right thar I stayed I
Till. I tired o’ civilized racket, ye see;
, Couldn’t coon to legitimite trade.
Then I packed up my duds an’ bid—some
one~good_-br.
An’ headed my boss fur the West,
An' cum to these mountains to buck agin
luck—
To swallow my dose with the rest!
“Got a wife ?” lookee hyar, ma’am, I’d rath-
er net . talk
0n sich subjects. as that, fur ye see‘,
It moutn’t be fiat’rin’-to let out the truth;
It perhaps ’d reflect upon me.
“Got an object in axin’,”ye say. Wal I swar!
I can’t see how t’d interest you";
An’ I guess—eh? “you must know." Wal,
then, ma’am, I had
A wife that was noble an’ true.
Ye see, ‘twas like this: When I lived in the
States, ' .
Somehow I war all outen luck.
Au’ I stood in with nuthin’ but cussed hard
.mes,
No matter what racket I struck ? ,
Till at last I gin up an’ concluded to leave—
An’ Mary approved 0’ the plan;
An’ set], “Go along, Tom, an’ when ye ge
rich '
Ye’il find yer companion on hau’.”
But the same cussed luck follered right in
my trail,
So I just quit a writin‘ back home——
Fur I wanted the folks thar to think White
war dead,
An’ continued as usual to roam.
I strayed hyar an’ thar—with no settled place
Fur to camp—with no object in view;
No ambition to rustle fur more than enough
To grub mc—indeed, ma’am, it’s true!
"Do I love Mary‘yit ?” Why ma'am—(darn
it all, '
_ Thet smoke keeps a smartin’ my eyes,
Makes .’em water as though I war drappin’
sum weep—
When the wind’s south thet smoke allers
flies.)
“Want an answer ?” Wal ma’am, I mus’ say
(darn thet smoke)—
I mus’ say thet in all these long years
She’s bin right in my thoughts, an’ many’s
the night
I hythinkin’ or Mary—in tears.
Her picter I carryright hyar in my heart-—
Jist a thought of her fills me with bliss,
An’ the day grows as dark as the bottomless
pit
When 1think-p’raps she dead afore this.
I’ve treated her shabby, but ma’am, ’twar
hard luck
Thet made me shake home in thet style,
An’ I’m hopin’ till yit the keerds ’11 soon
change ‘
An’ begin to run right arter while i
An’ if ever I git jist a smalljstake ahead
I’m a aoin’ to toddle back thar,
An’ I’ll ax Mary’s pardon an’ settle right
down, _
An be decent—I will, ma’am, I'll swar ?
What’s that! lookee hyar, ma’am; great
heaven's! jist turn
Her face more around to the light!
Hist yer veil—great Lord of all marcy above!
Why, Mary Elizabeth White?

The Patter of that Shingle.
BOB BURDETTE.
When the angry passion gathering in my
mother’s face I see,
And she leads me in the bedroom—gently
lays me on her knee;
Then I know that I will catch it,and my flesh
in fancy itches,
As I listen for the patter of the shingle on my
breechcs. ‘
Every tinkle of the shingle has an echo and
a sting,
And a thousand burning fancies intOZactive
being spring,
And a thousand bees and hornets ’neath my
coat-tails seem to swarm,
As I listen to the patter of the shingle—Oh!
so warm.
In a splutter comes my father—whom 1 sup-
posed had gone—
To survey the situation and tell her to lay it
on ;
To see her bending o’er me as I listen to the
strain,~ ' .
Played by her‘ and by the shingle in a wild
and weird refrain.
In a sudden intermission, which appears my
‘ only chance,
I say : “Strike gently, mother, or ybu’ll split
my Sunday pants.” .
She stops a moment, draws her breath, the
shingle holds aloft, '
And says: “I had not thought of that—my
son, just take them off.” I
Holy Moses! and the angels, cast thy pitying
glances down:
And thou, oh, family doctor, put a good soft
poullicc on,
And may I with fools and dances everlast—
ingiy commingle,
If ever I say another word when my maths
wields the shingle. ‘ ‘
