I'tfrhaps one of the most "enjoyable"
things in a modern court of justice
whew not unfrequently innocent witness
es, who are "losinir patience, time and
noney in their compulsory occupancy of
the witness stand (which is a pilory) are
"ballyragged- and tormcnted: -is the
torturing in return of'some impudent un
feeling advocate. A good case iu point
is this :
In a court not more than about five
thousand miles away -from the city of
Gotham a legal gentleman had gone
through the various stages of bar plead
ing, and had coaxed, threatened, and bul
lied witnesses to . his heart's content,
when it chanced that a very stupid fel
low, an hostler was called ufJbn the stand.
lie was, in fact, simplicity personified
The counsel, it should be premised, had
made a great fuss about the previous
witness speaking so low that ho could
not hear them.
"Now, sir," said the learned counsel,
"I hope we 6hall have no difficulty in
making you speak vj)." CS uimscW
spoke rddely loud.)
"I hope not, Sir"!" shouted out the
witness in such bellowing tones that they
fairly shook the building.
"How dare you speak' in ' that way ;
Sir?" demanded the counsel.
"leant Kpeak no louder ?" shouting
louder than before, as if to attone for his
fault in speaking too low !
"Have you been drinking this morn
ing ?"i asked the lawyer, who had entire
ly lostjthe command of his temper at the
roars of laughter which burst forth from
a crowded audience.
"Yes, sir" said the witness,. frankly.
uu n uuv ia jru uv-t,u ununiu
Sir ? Look at the jury don't look at me,
Sir, in that way ?"
"Corfee, Sir'
"Did you have any thing in your cof
fee, Sir?"
"Yes, sir." .
"I thought so," said the counsel, with
a tr lance at tne jury, "well, &ir, con
tinued the "learned counsel," "you say
you had something in your coffee. State,
if you please, to the jury what that some
thing was."
"Sugar, S7r,"sanswered the witness,
without the movement of a muscle.
- There was another burst-of '-'furtive
laughter" throughout the Tjourt-robm.
"This man, is no fool, your Honor
(addressing the Court), "but he is some
thing worse. Now, witness, you must
come to the point. Had you anything
else in your coffee besides sugar ?
"Yes, sir:'
"Yes ? You -had? (Well, we are
likely to get at the truth after all, , his
turning and twisting to the coptrary not
withstanding.) - Well, Sir, what else was
it you had in your coffee ?" -
"A spune, Sir " shouted the witness
"Do I make you. Jiear we Square ?

That was the last witness, and the last
of him on the stand. Here the trial was
adjourned until the next day.- Harper's

The San Francisco Bulletin says :
"The White Pine mines are now yield
ing bullion at the rate of about $500,000
a month. The great obstacle the district
has to contend with is the want of mill
ing facilities. At present' there are onlv
155 stamps at work, and their production
is greater man tnat ot any similar nura
ber of stamps working on Comstock ore
In .less than two months the number of
stamps will probably be increased to 350
The production, it is thought, will there
upon reach 1,000,000 a month.

who shall be appointed in the following manner,
that ii t say : . - -
One counuissionpr shall be named by the Presi

of either commissioner omitting or ceasing to act
as such, the President of tho United States or the

the governments of tho United States and Peru
respectively, and snch : declarations shall be

fail to agree in opinion on any individual claim,
they shall caU to their assistance tho arbitrator or
umpire whom they have agreod to name, or who
may bo determined by lot, as the ease may be,
and such arbitrator or umpire, after having ex
amined 4he evidence adduced for and against the
claim, and after having heard, aa required, one
person on each side, as aforesaid, and consulted
with the commissioners, shall decide thereupon
finally and without appeal. The decision of the
commissioners and of the arbitrator or umpire
shall be given upon each claim in writing, and
shall be signed by them respectively. It shall
be competent for each government to name one
person to attend the commissioners aa agent on
its behalf, and to answer claims made upon it, and
to represent it generally in all matters connected
with tho investigation and decision thereof.
The : President of tha United States and the
President of Peru hereby solemnly and sincerely
engage to qonsider the decision of the commis
sioners conjointly, or of the arbitrator or umpire,
as the case may be, as absolutely final and con
