Butler .. d he would offer a resolution on tie subject in the next session it he (Hoar) did not make an example of these fellows, and under this pressure the recent opin- ion was made. Information from a credible souret in Havana has been received here, asserting Cubans are engaged in active offensive movement, and were never in better spirits or more sanguine of success. Telegrams from Havana deny the report that any number of Cubans or any officers of Cuban forces surrendered to Valmazeda. Excitement in New York Sunday night was originated by a report telegraphed by the Spaniards, that Ces- pedes had surrendered. Subsequent dispatches from Cuban sources prove the report entirely unfounded. WASHINGTON, June 9.-The York Express says it ascertains front reliable sources that a committee of the Central Cuban Junta are in the city, with the owner, for the charter of a fast screw steamer of seven hun- dred tuns, to convey three hundred men anid a large stupply of arms to Cuba.' The vessel will start in a few days. Opposing Castelar in the Spanish Cortes, who favored a republic, Senor Rosai, alluding to the United States Government, said it was an outrage. All the States of the South were held under the swords of military government; individual rights were all confounlded; there was no liberty ; it was dictation--sword dicta- tion. The government of half of the States had the characters of iniquitous tyranny, for the interests of the conquered countries were sacrificed to the egotism of the North ; they enslaved the whites to give liberty to t the blacks, anrd tils slavery would be prolonged yearst .ind yeairs, for Federal legality and-thie auto!lOrnoy o the States were completely abolisred.

MILITARY CoMMlssIto.--Since our last issue the memorable trial now progressing in our midst makee taste slowly. William B. Ochiltree, who returned to his city a few days since, has been apprehended, but not, as yet, arraigned with the accused. Jordant 4olomon, freedman, called to the stand testified, tha: in the night of October 4, 1868, he was standing neat lie Methodist church when the firing commenced neat he Moods. He ran to Schluter's stable, and peeprc hrough the cracks of tile fence nearit, at d saw me, .llming into the jJ.il gate among whom he recogniset 'ols. Crump and Altord. He immediately beats haser -treat in the direction of Tomu Ward's blacksmith shop, taid while on the way thither he heard firing at the jail idt directly thereafter Antder.on Wright came runtlliif owards him. Witness helped Wright to conceal hiim lf ill one of the roomts above Ward's shop. Dick Figures, one of the principal white men wh- I i~,e turned State's evidenlce, was next called upon t. o-ttif'. He naltitested considcerble trepid•l.tin, ant: old hiis tale in a scarcely audible tonte. So great, iit Sedl, was his depressio,, tlhat he was affected to lear. Vithl ntngled pity aid conltempt the d"nse throe; stened toI catch his slightest whisper. Ere tie ha ien lotng lpln the stalld lhe gasped out that lie wantei ',e protection of the court against the citizens of thii outry. The Cimmtission replied that they wou ol ledge him the prottection of the United States Go-. rnment. The witness then testifited, in sub-tanc., halt ithe came from his hotne into J, fferson on Slltldat vening. October 4, 1868. He saw a crowd of trenl illecti d at Huche's Wagon Yard. Soon saw some o ihe ment disguiie themselves and leave for town. Rie- gnited sevieral of the prisoners. Witness was told by iod Conner, that a ntoh to kill Smith was being made ip by Ma.hry, Pratt and Saufley. Witness joined the no, j•t h-ielor it entered tithejail yard. Hesawa man ,hoiri lie took to tie Mabry in conversation with a sen ieel Re.cognised Saufley as the man who called for Lockhart and Sanford at the jail gate. Recognised bhn Penman as a leader among those who took Lewis :rant a d Anderson Wright to the w tods. He thought t waits Hintegani who ordered Lieut. Dubois to surren- Icr on penalty of death. Heard it said in the jail tard that George Gray was the rman that first entered the jail, and wit ess saw him taken out apparently nuch injured in a conflict with Smith. Witness thought it was Williamt Alley who fired the fatal shot tt Smith. He said that Muse was ordered to take omtnar,d of the nien engaged in breaking open the jail door, and that Muse dragged Major Curtis away irtm the jail door two or three times. Witness wasotf -he opinion that Curtis would have persuaded the mob so desist, were it not for the persistency of Muse. Witness said that Richard Stewart was taken out and killed after the death of Smith. He said Anderson Wright and Lewis Grant must have been taken out during the confusion caused by the first entrance into the jail-yard. After the mob had killed Smith and the tegroos, most of those that were disguised, removed their disguises and dispersed. Subsequently a large crowd of citizens met at Freeman's Hall, and two squads were organised to patrol the town. A number pro -eeded to the residence of Judge Caldwell, accom tanied by Pratt and Saufley. Witness and Col. Alford joined them when near Caldweil's. Alford and Saufley -ndeavored to dissuade Pratt from attempting to kilt Caldwell. Pratt i:nsisted, and they finally went along. Nat Caldwell, aged about 15 years, was captured and interrogated as to the whereabouts. A Negro was also taken with hint, but his hiding place was not divulged. Saufley and Alford thetn made another attempt to dissuade Pratt, and it was then agreed to return to the city. Witness stated it was very difficult to identily most of those II the jail lot on account of their dis guises. A few men were undisguised and did not seem to care whether they were recognised or not Towards the close of his testimony Figures said, that he had been induced to testify against the accused b3 the fear of punishment for perjury, and for the offence charged against the prisoners. On being further ques tioned by the court, he said, that he gave his evidenct voluntarily, and without being influenced by threats A letter' was brought into court yesterday during the examination, which Figures denied ever having seen It was picked up near his tent in camp, and contained an anonymous request that he would not testify against the prisoners.

Coniessions of the Spanish Piess. TaE INSUlRaECTION ADMITTED TO BE GAINING STRENGTH. The Havana correspondent of the New York Tri- buntte, in a letter dated the 22d, says: Those who believedthas the insurrection which com- menced at Yara, now .ight months ago, would. soon terminate, have been more and more disappointed all the while. A remark which was first made in a com- munication from this place to the Tribune, to the effect Sthat the " whole island was undermined" with the rev- olutionary element, was in every particular true. This was said during last February. and every day since has hut developed the correctness of the statement. Let us instance a few proofs of the fact. "Out of their i own mouths shall they be convicted." The Pabellon Nacional of Cienfuegos, in a late number, says, " that there are numerous bodies of insurgents in that juris- I diction, and that they are colnmittirg excesses; stirring 1 up the people to resista' ce to the authorities, and, inl fine, that the whole country aroupd is in a state of pro- found commotion." These words are literally copied from the Spani.-h paper referred to; and the daily is- sues of the Government journals, while . attempting to conceal the truth, reveal, in the strongest light, the weakness of the Spanish cause. A loyal man writes from Santiago de Cuba to the Diario : "We need another battalion in order that the service by detachments and flying columans may be complete. Only in this way may surprise be avoided I such as took place yesterday, and which sows ruin and disseminates fear throughout our deserted fields." He " begs" the Diario " to use all its influence to bring about this end" (the raising of the battalion, etc.;) and " this people," he add-, " will be under great obliga. a tions." The same sort of music is heard from Trini- dad. There 50011 or 600 insurgents are stated to be in Sthe paraido of Cabagan, in a place called Narciso, alarm. ing and greatly frightening the Spanish inhabitants. The whole jurisdiction of Remedios is in a state of rev- olution. Valmaseda will soon he driven out of Ba3amo, if he has not already left; and, to conlclude upon this point, the Pabellon Nacional says, after a full review of the state of matters in the Central and Eastern De- partments, published a few days ago, that it is idle to attempt "longer to conceal the true situation, that the in strrection, instead of becoming weaker, is, in fact, growing stronger," and along with it a general spread of anarchy. Sugar teaes are constantly reported as having been destroyed, asld railroad ties cut and torn up. While the war rages both parties suffer from the want of the nIecessaries of life. In the camp at Bata. bayo there was found a large number of women and children who had fled thither for protection against the Government forces. And Lesca finds the prices of provisions so high at Puerto Principe, nlecessarily con- sequent upon the shutting off of supplies, that he has caused to be published a scale of prices conlormable to that of peaceful times. The Spaniards hereabout have lost the colfident tone which they have been accustomed to use in speak- ing of the rebellion and its prospects. Insubordina- tion holds a high head in the ranks of both the regu- lars and volynteers. Havana is as deeply revolutionary as any other part of the isle, and nothing prevents the flame of revolution bursting forth at any time except the well-manned forts around the town and the war steamers, ready at a moment's warning to fire shot and shell into the then doomed city. And this pun- ishment has been promised in case of a severe revolt here. The news of one or two successful landings of Amer- icans upon the coast, would add to the exhileration which all Cubans feel. Disease is doing its work among the new arrivals from Spain, while all the prospects ahead seem flattering to the Cubans. Cespedes re- mains quietly at the capital-Sibanicu-directing all the mnovements of the insurgents, loved and venerated ,by all his countra men as the grand figure of the revo- lution, while Dulce, the sarap of an almosteffete mon- rclly, is, at times, trembling for his safety, and his friends are unwilling, on certain occasions, to see him go out upon the street. One is impelled forward in his work by the aspiratiolns of a people determilned to be free ; while the other is moved by the well grounded fear that Spain may lose-though every effort be put forward to prevent it- tithe brightest jewel of the crown. THE SC CITY OF MoNEY.-There is and must be a Geteral st city of curretlcy throughout the country, because that article is so far superabundant. This statenment is doubtless a paradoax to the unreflecting; nevertheless nothing is more certain. The history of this counitry for the last fifty years shows that money has always been most scarce, and rates ofinterest most advanced, when there was the largest absolute amount in circulation. The reason for this is obvious. As a currency is expanded, speculation is excited, prices are greatly raised, and it takes a much larger amount of money to transfer an equal amount of merchan- dise, while the operations of those who are engaged in influencing and controlling the immense amount of transferable property of all kinds held for speculative purposes absorb all the surplus, and leave the money market in a stringent condition. Money, we must recollect, is scarce not in propor- tion to its actual quantity, but to the relative demand for it. When, therefore, in addition to the natural wants of trade, the speculative interest comes into mar- ket, the extraordinary demand is ceita in to create a pressure; so that, practically, it has always been true, as it is now true, that an expanded currency will be most scarce when it is most abundant; that collections will be most unsatisfactory when the circulation is largest; and that the rates of interest will be highest when the loans of the banks are most extended. This important lesson the people mtst learn; and if they would have money plenty and cheap, they must ,nsist that the amount shall be reduced to the natural limit-to that pointt where it is at par with specie. They cannot have a,. easy and reliable money market Iuntil that 'which is called money is truly so; atd we ticur no risk in predicting that a satisfactory state of trade will riot arrive until tile currency of the nation is ,.quivalertt in value to the enrrency of commerce. In looking forward for the remainder of the current ye r, we do not anticipate a general panic or breaking down of the national intutstry, because the currency is now a fixed quantity, andl cannot be (.s itn the case of a mixed curr,.ncy it must be) sudden y i:, d aa n nrom ,'irculation whenever there is a pressure on the ianks tlr the red.emptio. of ilteir notes; but we do expect that trade, nlnlufact.uring and. busintess generally will 'r. depressed, that profits will besmtall. expenses large, rents and rates of interest high, and los1s,. from delin. lqurent debtors heavy ; while in tihe large centres of trade, especially in the largest, "the spasms" of the tmoney market will '-e frequent and violent. [Lippittcott's Magazine for June. "The Empress El z beth oh Aastria," writes the Pasth ctrrespondent of the Paris Magaz ne, "is nearly hirty years old, and, despite the many sorrows which :lave lallen to her share in the course of her eventful !ite, she is still as rosy, pretty and bewilching as a young girl. Site i. a very happy mother, and, if the gossips are right, now again a very happy wife. How any husband, for a moment even, could think of belt g faithless to such a charmi•gr creature, is more than your correspondent is able to understand." This allusion refers to the love afftirs by which Francis Joseph sev- eral years ago nearly broke his young empress' heart. The mistresses on whom the emperor, at that time, be- stowed his affections, were mostly women of very little beauty. The most notoriops of them was Kate Rentz, a circus girl, whom the emperor afterward had a great deal of difficulty in shaking off. It is said thatto keep her mouth shut, he even now'pays her a large pension. A VISIBLE LEGAL POINT.-A rural lawyer, whom we shall name 'Squire Jovial, once had an important case in a country court, and the decision depended en- tirely on the way the jury would regard the testimony of one lady. He lost the case, because the fair wit- ness swore positively to an occurrence which she had witnessed at the distance of several rods, although there were several persons who stood much nearer than her that saw nothing whatever of it. The old 'Squire looked rather blue when the jury brought in their verdict, but revenged himself by rising and tell- ing the court a story of a lady he once knew, who was very near.sighted, but always declared her eyesight to he excellent. Accordingly one day a neighbor stuck a darning needle in the side of a burn, and placing her n,u the opposite side of the road asked her if she could ,ee it. "Oh, yes," replied the lady, "I can see the needle easy ; but whar's the barn?" A CutCR ro P.AHALYSIs.-We lately meta gentle. man who, although he walked with apparent ease, said he had been almost a hopeless pa'ralytic, but had been -ubstantially cured by the use of an air-pump. The theory of the cure and the application of the instru- ment were as follows: Paralysis is produced by the failure of some of the organs of life to perform their functions; they need recuperating. He applied a cup or receiver to the surface of the part affected, and by ineans of the pump he removed the pressure 9f the ex- ternal atmosphere. There was then a rush of air in. ternally, as much as the clogged condition of the sys- tem would admit, towards the vacuum produced by the pump. The blood was carried along by the air, :Ind by mere mechanical force made to circulate in the affected limb, which thps recovered its vigor and ac- tivity. [Worcester Palladium.

Discussing French election, the Times says the factis three and a half millions Frenchnien are voting inopposition to only four millions who support the Gov.ertnlent, and whatever the relative strength of partiesmay be in Corps Legidlati, this is significant of the resuit of universal suffrage, and is bound to influencethe entire policy of the French Government.

MILITARY CoMMlssIto.--Since our last issue thememorable trial now progressing in our midst makeetaste slowly. William B. Ochiltree, who returned tohis city a few days since, has been apprehended, but

not, as yet, arraigned with the accused. Jordant4olomon, freedman, called to the stand testified, tha:in the night of October 4, 1868, he was standing neatlie Methodist church when the firing commenced neathe Moods. He ran to Schluter's stable, and peeprchrough the cracks of tile fence nearit, at d saw me,.llming into the jJ.il gate among whom he recogniset'ols. Crump and Altord. He immediately beats haser-treat in the direction of Tomu Ward's blacksmith shop,

taid while on the way thither he heard firing at the jailidt directly thereafter Antder.on Wright came runtlliif

owards him. Witness helped Wright to conceal hiimlf ill one of the roomts above Ward's shop.Dick Figures, one of the principal white men wh-

I i~,e turned State's evidenlce, was next called upon t.o-ttif'. He naltitested considcerble trepid•l.tin, ant:old hiis tale in a scarcely audible tonte. So great, iitSedl, was his depressio,, tlhat he was affected to lear.Vithl ntngled pity aid conltempt the d"nse throe;stened toI catch his slightest whisper. Ere tie ha

ien lotng lpln the stalld lhe gasped out that lie wantei',e protection of the court against the citizens of thiioutry. The Cimmtission replied that they wou olledge him the prottection of the United States Go-.rnment. The witness then testifited, in sub-tanc.,halt ithe came from his hotne into J, fferson on Slltldatvening. October 4, 1868. He saw a crowd of trenl

illecti d at Huche's Wagon Yard. Soon saw some oihe ment disguiie themselves and leave for town. Rie-gnited sevieral of the prisoners. Witness was told byiod Conner, that a ntoh to kill Smith was being made

ip by Ma.hry, Pratt and Saufley. Witness joined theno, j•t h-ielor it entered tithejail yard. Hesawa man,hoiri lie took to tie Mabry in conversation with a senieel Re.cognised Saufley as the man who called for

Lockhart and Sanford at the jail gate. Recognisedbhn Penman as a leader among those who took Lewis

:rant a d Anderson Wright to the w tods. He thoughtt waits Hintegani who ordered Lieut. Dubois to surren-Icr on penalty of death. Heard it said in the jail

tard that George Gray was the rman that first enteredthe jail, and wit ess saw him taken out apparentlynuch injured in a conflict with Smith. Witnessthought it was Williamt Alley who fired the fatal shottt Smith. He said that Muse was ordered to takeomtnar,d of the nien engaged in breaking open thejail door, and that Muse dragged Major Curtis awayirtm the jail door two or three times. Witness wasotf-he opinion that Curtis would have persuaded the mobso desist, were it not for the persistency of Muse.Witness said that Richard Stewart was taken out andkilled after the death of Smith. He said AndersonWright and Lewis Grant must have been taken outduring the confusion caused by the first entrance intothe jail-yard. After the mob had killed Smith and thetegroos, most of those that were disguised, removedtheir disguises and dispersed. Subsequently a largecrowd of citizens met at Freeman's Hall, and two squads

were organised to patrol the town. A number pro-eeded to the residence of Judge Caldwell, accomtanied by Pratt and Saufley. Witness and Col. Alfordjoined them when near Caldweil's. Alford and Saufley

-ndeavored to dissuade Pratt from attempting to kiltCaldwell. Pratt i:nsisted, and they finally went along.Nat Caldwell, aged about 15 years, was captured andinterrogated as to the whereabouts. A Negro was alsotaken with hint, but his hiding place was not divulged.

Saufley and Alford thetn made another attempt todissuade Pratt, and it was then agreed to return to thecity. Witness stated it was very difficult to identily

most of those II the jail lot on account of their disguises. A few men were undisguised and did not

seem to care whether they were recognised or notTowards the close of his testimony Figures said, that

he had been induced to testify against the accused b3the fear of punishment for perjury, and for the offencecharged against the prisoners. On being further ques

tioned by the court, he said, that he gave his evidenctvoluntarily, and without being influenced by threatsA letter' was brought into court yesterday during theexamination, which Figures denied ever having seen

It was picked up near his tent in camp, and containedan anonymous request that he would not testify against

Coniessions of the Spanish Piess.TaE INSUlRaECTION ADMITTED TO BE GAINING STRENGTH.

The Havana correspondent of the New York Tri-buntte, in a letter dated the 22d, says:

Those who believedthas the insurrection which com-menced at Yara, now .ight months ago, would. soonterminate, have been more and more disappointed allthe while. A remark which was first made in a com-munication from this place to the Tribune, to the effectSthat the " whole island was undermined" with the rev-olutionary element, was in every particular true. Thiswas said during last February. and every day since hashut developed the correctness of the statement. Letus instance a few proofs of the fact. "Out of theiri own mouths shall they be convicted." The Pabellon

Nacional of Cienfuegos, in a late number, says, " thatthere are numerous bodies of insurgents in that juris-I diction, and that they are colnmittirg excesses; stirring1 up the people to resista' ce to the authorities, and, inl

fine, that the whole country aroupd is in a state of pro-found commotion." These words are literally copiedfrom the Spani.-h paper referred to; and the daily is-sues of the Government journals, while .attempting toconceal the truth, reveal, in the strongest light, theweakness of the Spanish cause.

A loyal man writes from Santiago de Cuba to theDiario : "We need another battalion in order thatthe service by detachments and flying columans may becomplete. Only in this way may surprise be avoided

I such as took place yesterday, and which sows ruin anddisseminates fear throughout our deserted fields." He" begs" the Diario " to use all its influence to bringabout this end" (the raising of the battalion, etc.;) and" this people," he add-, " will be under great obliga.

a tions." The same sort of music is heard from Trini-dad. There 50011 or 600 insurgents are stated to be inSthe paraido of Cabagan, in a place called Narciso, alarm.ing and greatly frightening the Spanish inhabitants.The whole jurisdiction of Remedios is in a state of rev-olution. Valmaseda will soon he driven out of Ba3amo,if he has not already left; and, to conlclude upon thispoint, the Pabellon Nacional says, after a full reviewof the state of matters in the Central and Eastern De-partments, published a few days ago, that it is idle toattempt "longer to conceal the true situation, that thein strrection, instead of becoming weaker, is, in fact,growing stronger," and along with it a general spreadof anarchy. Sugar teaes are constantly reported ashaving been destroyed, asld railroad ties cut and tornup.

While the war rages both parties suffer from thewant of the nIecessaries of life. In the camp at Bata.bayo there was found a large number of women andchildren who had fled thither for protection against theGovernment forces. And Lesca finds the prices ofprovisions so high at Puerto Principe, nlecessarily con-sequent upon the shutting off of supplies, that he hascaused to be published a scale of prices conlormableto that of peaceful times.

The Spaniards hereabout have lost the colfidenttone which they have been accustomed to use in speak-ing of the rebellion and its prospects. Insubordina-tion holds a high head in the ranks of both the regu-lars and volynteers. Havana is as deeply revolutionaryas any other part of the isle, and nothing prevents theflame of revolution bursting forth at any time exceptthe well-manned forts around the town and the warsteamers, ready at a moment's warning to fire shotand shell into the then doomed city. And this pun-ishment has been promised in case of a severe revolthere.

The news of one or two successful landings of Amer-icans upon the coast, would add to the exhilerationwhich all Cubans feel. Disease is doing its work amongthe new arrivals from Spain, while all the prospectsahead seem flattering to the Cubans. Cespedes re-mains quietly at the capital-Sibanicu-directing allthe mnovements of the insurgents, loved and venerated,by all his countra men as the grand figure of the revo-lution, while Dulce, the sarap of an almosteffete mon-rclly, is, at times, trembling for his safety, and his

friends are unwilling, on certain occasions, to see himgo out upon the street. One is impelled forward inhis work by the aspiratiolns of a people determilned tobe free ; while the other is moved by the well groundedfear that Spain may lose-though every effort be putforward to prevent it- tithe brightest jewel of thecrown.

THE SC CITY OF MoNEY.-There is and must be aGeteral st city of curretlcy throughout the country,because that article is so far superabundant. Thisstatenment is doubtless a paradoax to the unreflecting;nevertheless nothing is more certain. The history ofthis counitry for the last fifty years shows that moneyhas always been most scarce, and rates ofinterest mostadvanced, when there was the largest absolute amountin circulation. The reason for this is obvious. As acurrency is expanded, speculation is excited, pricesare greatly raised, and it takes a much larger amountof money to transfer an equal amount of merchan-dise, while the operations of those who are engagedin influencing and controlling the immense amount oftransferable property of all kinds held for speculativepurposes absorb all the surplus, and leave the moneymarket in a stringent condition.

Money, we must recollect, is scarce not in propor-tion to its actual quantity, but to the relative demandfor it. When, therefore, in addition to the naturalwants of trade, the speculative interest comes into mar-ket, the extraordinary demand is ceita

i n to create a

pressure; so that, practically, it has always been true,as it is now true, that an expanded currency will bemost scarce when it is most abundant; that collectionswill be most unsatisfactory when the circulation islargest; and that the rates of interest will be highestwhen the loans of the banks are most extended.

This important lesson the people mtst learn; and ifthey would have money plenty and cheap, they must,nsist that the amount shall be reduced to the naturallimit-to that pointt where it is at par with specie.They cannot have a,. easy and reliable money marketIuntil that 'which is called money is truly so; atd weticur no risk in predicting that a satisfactory state of

trade will riot arrive until tile currency of the nation is,.quivalertt in value to the enrrency of commerce.

In looking forward for the remainder of the currentye r, we do not anticipate a general panic or breakingdown of the national intutstry, because the currency isnow a fixed quantity, andl cannot be (.s itn the case ofa mixed curr,.ncy it must be) sudden y i:, d aa n nrom,'irculation whenever there is a pressure on the iankstlr the red.emptio. of ilteir notes; but we do expectthat trade, nlnlufact.uring and. busintess generally will'r. depressed, that profits will besmtall. expenses large,rents and rates of interest high, and los1s,. from delin.lqurent debtors heavy ; while in tihe large centres oftrade, especially in the largest, "the spasms" of thetmoney market will '-e frequent and violent.

[Lippittcott's Magazine for June.

"The Empress El z beth oh Aastria," writes thePasth ctrrespondent of the Paris Magaz ne, "is nearlyhirty years old, and, despite the many sorrows which

:lave lallen to her share in the course of her eventful!ite, she is still as rosy, pretty and bewilching as a younggirl. Site i. a very happy mother, and, if the gossipsare right, now again a very happy wife. How anyhusband, for a moment even, could think of belt gfaithless to such a charmi•gr creature, is more thanyour correspondent is able to understand." This allusionrefers to the love afftirs by which Francis Joseph sev-eral years ago nearly broke his young empress' heart.The mistresses on whom the emperor, at that time, be-stowed his affections, were mostly women of very littlebeauty. The most notoriops of them was Kate Rentz,a circus girl, whom the emperor afterward had a greatdeal of difficulty in shaking off. It is said thatto keepher mouth shut, he even now'pays her a large pension.

A VISIBLE LEGAL POINT.-A rural lawyer, whomwe shall name 'Squire Jovial, once had an importantcase in a country court, and the decision depended en-tirely on the way the jury would regard the testimonyof one lady. He lost the case, because the fair wit-ness swore positively to an occurrence which she hadwitnessed at the distance of several rods, althoughthere were several persons who stood much nearerthan her that saw nothing whatever of it. The old'Squire looked rather blue when the jury brought intheir verdict, but revenged himself by rising and tell-ing the court a story of a lady he once knew, who wasvery near.sighted, but always declared her eyesight tohe excellent. Accordingly one day a neighbor stuck adarning needle in the side of a burn, and placing her

n,u the opposite side of the road asked her if she could,ee it. "Oh, yes," replied the lady, "I can see theneedle easy ; but whar's the barn?"

A CutCR ro P.AHALYSIs.-We lately meta gentle.man who, although he walked with apparent ease, saidhe had been almost a hopeless pa'ralytic, but had been-ubstantially cured by the use of an air-pump. Thetheory of the cure and the application of the instru-ment were as follows: Paralysis is produced by thefailure of some of the organs of life to perform theirfunctions; they need recuperating. He applied a cupor receiver to the surface of the part affected, and byineans of the pump he removed the pressure 9f the ex-ternal atmosphere. There was then a rush of air in.ternally, as much as the clogged condition of the sys-tem would admit, towards the vacuum produced bythe pump. The blood was carried along by the air,:Ind by mere mechanical force made to circulate in theaffected limb, which thps recovered its vigor and ac-tivity. [Worcester Palladium.
