VOL X. THE MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY- Maraonte was a walled town in a province of France. In one of the nouses near the ramparts lived a car penter named lienott. He was a sober man, who said little. He had followed several trades, bad been a soldier, traveled a great deal, and had many adventures, but as he never spoke of them, the town people tnougnt lie cud nothing good to tell. The only porson that he was at all cordial .with was an old soldier named Trappe who had saved his life in bat tle. This man was a great talker and boaster, and Benott suspected him of being a knave. He had set up a barber shop in a street pear by. One evening he called on Benott to ask him to drink a bottle of wine at the Cheval Noir, with two old com rades who had served in the same regiment. At first Benott refused; but when Trappe told him it was the anniver sary of the battle in which be had saved his life, he accepted, and in sisted upon paying the score. When he arrived at the cabaret he found two ill looking fellows whom he had never seen before. . They sat drink iDg together in the public room until nearly twelve o'clock. , Benott, after spending more mon ey than he had ever spent before at an inn in Marmonte, bade them good night and went home, followed by Trappe,-who was talking loudly, up to the room where Madame Benott and her son were. Trappe laugh ip&4y forced them to drink two glass es -of wine with, hijri.:. Benott, an noyed; walked to the window, and when he turned around, was aston ished to find Trappe gone. He remembered- ." this . afterwards, but thought little, of it- at the time, he was so sleepy wi'h the wine. He then fastened his doors and went to bed. , The next morning he was astonish ed to find his shop door ajar, and on going to his lumber loft, that the window was open, tie said notning, for it was not his custom to talk about what he did .not understand. On going to his work, he found the whole town in excitement, and talk ing about a great robbery that bad been committed during the night. He soon perceived, too, that he was avoided, and many cast strange glances at him.. Then he overheard a neighbor say: 1 noticed iienoit s shop open last night after eleven o'elock a most unusuiil circumstance- no light po lice He passed on, so Benott heard no more, but bis suspicions were arous ed. He knew Trappe did not' leave his house until all were asleep, and that he had opened the door to the robbers. He remembered the wine, too. He went to the barber's shop. 'Trappe," Baid he, "thou hast saved my life, I shall say nothing." I he next day Irappe disappeared. From this time proofs seemed to accumulate against Benott. The po lice found the tracks of the robbers from his roof lo the ramparts. A silver spoon belonging to a family who bad been robbed of 'their plate, was found under the window of the lumber loft. Benott was arrested and brought before the court. He was asked by the judge if be left the door and window open. He answered, 'No. (Then,' said the judge, 'do you know who did open them?' No, replied iJenott; lor ne did cot know that Trappe hod done it. 'Do you suspect any one?' 'No, Monsieur. As I am suspected unjustly, I huve no right to suspect others1 Iu short, he answ ered every ques tion, houestlv, without inculpating Trappe. The jildge finding no proof against him. was obliged to set him free. It was evident to him, however, from the maimer of the discharge and the talk of the people, that he was still suspected. He showed no emotion, but weut quietly home. After embracing bis wife and son, who were transported with joy to see him aguin, he said to the latter: 'Sylvester, you will bear every where that although I am acquitted, I am no less thought a knave. Be not d Sijuieted, this will not last for ever. ' His wife was frightened at what he said, but did not believe it. She went out to talk with her neighbors. Some turned their backs and would have nothing to say to her, others looked at her in pity, and shrugged their shoulders as if to say: .'Poor woman! it is not her fault.' Others declared to ber what they thought. After defending her husband warm ly, she returned home weeping, and saying that she would live no longer in Marmonte. 'If I go away,' said Benot, I shall leave a bad name behind me.' - 'But what good will it do you to stav in this place? asked Sladame Benott. 'I mean to recover lny good repu tation.' answered he. 'But you will lose all your cus tomers. 'No,' said Benott, for I will be the best carpenter in town." 'Tberawre others quite as good as you, what will you do to make your self better than meyr :-'Ev takinz the mofit difficult work and trvinir to make it perfect.' Benott had work on hand when he was arrested. He hastened to uiii.U it. He did it so well, so promptly and so reasonably, that the hnn con tinued to employ him in spite of their bad oninion of him. He arose two hours earlier than usual every morning, and retired later: be labor ed diligentlv, so as to hire fewer workmen, and be able to work cheap er, flthounh be furnished the very best material and workmanship. Thus be not only kept his old cus tomers, but acquired new tnes. He knew the people thought ill of j him, and were often afraid to trust I him alone in a room, but he took no ! nnrtimilftr nntiPA nf if. "Rut if nnv one spoke rudely to him on the street as he passed along, he gave him such a look that the insult was never re peated. He saw, too, that bis ac counts were examined, but he took care to have them so clear, so detail ed, and supported them with such proofs, that his customers finished Dy Baying: 'You take, sir, more pains than you need to take.' 'No,' said he, 'I know your opin ion of me. It is necessary that you should see clearly that I do not de ceiveou.' About this time a house took fire, and endangered the one next to it. Several workmen tried to prevent the fare from reaching it, but soon desisted on account of the danger! Benott soon arrived at the door of the threatened house. The servants dared not allow him to enter without leave from their master whom they could not find. He rushed through them, saying: 'If I happen to save the house, you can see afterwards if I have stolen anything." He mounted to the top of the house where no one dared follow him. ' Passing through a chamber, he saw a watch lying on the mantle piece, he put it in his pocket to prevent its being stolen; then, thinking if he were to perish in the flames, and this watch found on him, it would prove bim a robber, he concealed it iu a vase near by; climbed to a spot near est to the fire, Btood where the flames had already reached, and with a few blows of the hatchet cut all commu nication between the two houses. Coming down be met the -proprie tor of the house. ' He showed him the watch. 'I put it there,' said Benott, bo- cause I thought if it was stolen yon would think that I took it.' The upright conduct of Bouott, constantly seen by the public, began to make a favorable impression. A rich man came to the province to build a large manufactory. He inquired for the best carpenter in Marmonte. It was impossible not to point out Benott. He employed him, and was so well satisfied with bis zeal, intelligence and uprightness, that he at once pronounced him an honest man. As he was a person of great importance, this produced a fu vorable effect. The reputation of Benott as a work man soon extended throughout the province. He was put in charge of great enterprises. This brought mm in contact with men of all classes, and every one spoke highly of him. He was watch ed no longer. - People still wondered how Ins win dow and door came to be open on the night of the robbery, and many believed he could have told. Tho rich mau who had employed Benott to build his manufactory, and who was-a great deal interested in bim, tolo him he ought to explain the circumstances. 'Why should I?' asked Bonott. 'My reputation for honesty is estab lished The adventure was almost forgot ten, when a robber named Trappe was arrested in a neighboring prov ince , who confessed tbat he commit ted the deed that nearly ruined poor Benott. Well,' suid Benott, wheu the town people came to congratulate hiin, 'I was certain that an Honest man could not always pans for a knave." IBB WAB1NU BOATMAN. Gen. Joe Lane, seventv-odd years old, lives fifteep miles from Kone- burg, at the bead of a beautiful little valley,, where be keeps bachelor's hall not from necessity, but because that is his chosen way. His numer ous sons are all well-married, and the historic old man is moving far down the declivity of life, still with the erect mem and sturdy step with which he entered the Oregon wilder ness years ago. I could not well visit him, because of the bad roads, but am told that his natural forces are hardly any abated, and that with bis teavy and familiar ax, he will stand on a big log and let daylight through it as of old in the clearing. Oeneral Lane is in some respects the most remarkable man now living in America Andrew Johnson's upward vicissitudes are commonplace in com parison. Flat-boatman of the Wa bash, legislator, statesman, senator, major-general und pioneer of Oregon civilization! And even now in the last quarter of his long life, his in domitable soul and stalwart form re fuse to bow under the heavy burden of years, and he strides, about the foot-hills of the Cascades like a gi gantic and imperishable Genius of the Border. The General is proba bly the onlv man of his renown and station in the world who cooks din ner for bis friendly visitors. If I live a couple of months longer I shall see that remarkable process; and if I survive the brave old man, he shall have one memorable and far sounding dirge. Cor. Salem SV' man. Bbokex Orr Aruix.

THE SCANDO LAWYERS- COURT-ROOM VIEWS OK TBB S.KGAL WOBKSRS 1.1 IU TRIAL, Mr. Bvttrta, Mr. Beach, Gen. Trjcr,Kx Jndg-e Pvllerton, Rx-Jadjre Partor, Gen. Pryor, Mr. Bhenrman, BfeJadga Korrb, A Sketch of tnelr Peculiar Pulnta. The following description of the great Beecher-Tilton lawyers, given by the New York Sun during the progress of the trial cannot fail to be of interest to our readers: Next to the two men pitted against each other in the great scandal, their wives and Mr. Moulton, heed is giv en by the attendants of the trial of Mr. Beecber to the lawyers engaged in it. Their words are listened to and their movements watched with the eager attention that may be sup posed ns given by the witnesses of a bull fight. Significance is given to everything they do no matter how trivial. If Mr. Beach whispers to Mr. Fullerton that there is a speck on the end of his nose, or Mr. Evarts asks Mr. Shearman what day of the week it is, the observers in the gal lery are certain that a new device has been concocted or a change of plan consulted about. : These legal gentle men, too, although they make their demeanor a matter of mimicry, cer tainly Know mat uiey are comoai- ahts in a struggle watched by the world, and that their reputation as lawyers are as deoply involved as are the fates of their clients. The rela tive strength of the opposing forces is daily discussed. The latest bouts between them being usually the facts from which varying deductions are made. There are eight of the law yers leaving out those who do routine work and are not lifcelv to ram prom inence in the trial. There are Mossrs. Evarts, Porter, Tracy and Shearman for Mr. Beecher, and Messrs. Beach, Fullerton, Pryor and Morris for Mr. Tilton. As to comliness, the plain tiff's array are eminent, Mr. Beach, Mr, a ullerton, and Mr, Morris being without rivals in the opposition ex cept Mr. Tracy. ' As to brains, that involves an opinion which can better be formed after the coming weeks of struggle. Each will get a chance to show his ability in Ins strongest line, the devision of work having been made as a theatrical manager casts the parts in a play ' 'to the full strength of the company." MB. WILLIAM M. EVARTS The senior counsel for Mr. Beecher, Mr. Jvarts, with the fame of connec tion with national litigation and pol icy, is seemingly tho most self-conscious lawyer iu the two groups. On about every day in the first week of the trial be demanded more loom. When the tables had at last been ar ranged according to his plan, he still frowned, and looked as though he wanted to put everybody at a yet more respectful distance. He is old, thin, straight, and has such a face us would wrench the proprieties by he longing to anybody but a lawyer of the old-school pal tern. His nose, large and aggressive of outline, is inclined to be neighborly with his chin. His head is shapely, but not large. He wears no beard; and his hair is dark and rather short. His clothes will be shabby before long if he doesn t cret a uew suit. - To gum up his appearance in his own incis ive sort of language, be is half-way between a wizen-fucod, musty old gentleman and one of the fine, pre cise, yellow veterans who have bung in portrait galleries since men wore stocks three inches broad. Mr. Evarts wears such a neckerchief now, and a blue cloak with a broad velvet collar. His voice comes up from somowhere iu his depths as though hoisted out of a cellar where he had A great deal more of it stored away, and there is an interval between the opening of his mouth and the outcome of anv sound. It is like watohing a wood chopper from a distance, and seeing the nx full, the sound of the stroke coming an instant later. In manner he ie quick and testy, but be does not waste time in purposeless bickerings. He apparently expects to gain every point that he makes, and takes it hardly wben he fails, dropping into a chair and throwing one thin log over the other with a quickness that half makes one listen to hear bis bones rattle. His diction is almost perfect, and he speaks slowly and distinctly, no matter how much stimulated by opposition or anger. He interrupts the Court with a presumption and frequency tbat would disturb a less even tempered man than Judge Neil son. He has fought Mr. Fullerton stubbornly during the examination of Mr, Moul on, their bot encounters being the spice of the trial. , Mil. WILUAM A. BEACH. The senior counsel for Mr. Tilton has never held a judicial position. yet since his coming to New York from Troy, a few years ago, be has been generally called Judge Heat-b. He is the embodiment of dignity in bis court room demeanor, and is a large man, with the outward indica tions of great mental and physical vigor. His features are striking and full of character marks. His long, straight hair and the whiskers that bide bis chin, are white. They were blanched from jet black to white in a few short weeks, aliout three years ago. It was no sudden stroke of fright or grief that made the change lie only stopped dyeing. He is an oldish man with the vitality of youth. Next to Mr. Beecher he has the strong est fare in the court one that would lie incongruous behind a counter, or am where outof consequential scenes He is unceasingly attentive while Mr. Moultou is under examination, and is so familiar with the scandal matter that, when Mr. Fullerton oc rationally misreads a word in a letter, be quickly corrects him from memory. Hi manner is dictatorial and ag gressive in the extreme, but he stops short of impoliteness. The little sneakinr; Hint be his done in the trial haa been bvond doubt better than that of any of his colleagues or opponents. - He has a heavy, sonor ous voice, a ready and discriminating oommand of words, and a dogmatic, forceful style of delivery . When be rises to make a simple objection or suggestion, it is with the air tf an orator beginning a long address, and he always starts circumspectly with "Now, if your Honor please," bow- ever audacious the matter that coniesq after. He opposes anything like theatrical show, and when the flowers were sent in to Mr. Tilton on Friday he advised their removal, because be feared that the jury might believe it to be a prearranged exhibition. . Al thougu during his long career in Troy his bosom friend was the Bev, Dr. Baldwin, the Baptist preacher nnd author, he is not religious, and in his opposition to Mr. Beecher is regard ed as a genuine partisan. He sits closo to tho jury, but his efforts to impress them are wholly oral. His opposing senior has a habit of smil ing, Bneenng auu lrowuiug iu n biuu long way, as a mute commentary up on the testimony. This would be too great a laxness of dignity for Mr. Beach to exhibit, and if be acts it is in the direction of gravity. He will make the closiiic speech for the plain tiff, and something inordinary is ex pected of him. int. JonN k. ronTKn. At the Beecher table sits through every session a man who from across the room looks to be forty-nve years old. A little closer he has tho ap pearance of the stage lawyer, mid frows ten years older. This is ex udge John K. Porter. His hair and moustache are jet black, yet he is an old man. Dye. One day a sepul chral sentence rose from among the lawyers for the defence. Everybody listened vainly for more, and wonder ed who bad caught such a dreadful cold. Mr. Porter bad spoken. He had not previously done so nor has he since. He is constantly busy, however, working as though alone in his office, and seemingly paying no attention to what is going on, lieally he is following the testimony with in tense application. A pair of specta cles saddle his nose, and be holds his eyes within near sight of .a pam phlet of the scandal statements. Humped over this book, as it is laid open on a table, be has closely cover ed the margins of the pages with notes. He is, so it is said, to cross examine Mr. Tiltou's witnesses, and is thus preparing himself to deal with Mr. Moulton. His fame as an inquisitor of antagonistic testifiers has penetrated the court room, and the spectators discuss and watch him in his silent industry, predicting won derful exploits of entanglement. Ho seldom looks up from hii book, comes and goes unostentatiously, and is the easiest overlooked of any in the ar rays of counsel by those who do not know bim. Mr. Beecher goes to bim occasionally to whisper in one of his yellow years, and then they compare the peucilings in their books. He is usually in his place before the open ing,, entering without any show of consciousness of the watching by tho audience. Rolling his unfashionable overcoat into a wad, be puts it under the table, sets bis bat ou it, and goes to work. When the session is over he invariably finds that bis collsaguos have wiped their feet on his coat, and kicked the nap of bis hat the wrong way. This annoys him for an instant, but be . forots It before he has bad time to brush away the dam age and so he goes out in disordered raiment. He shows no interest in the wrangles of counsel, and would be vory slightingly regarded by tho audienco were it not that thoy know him to bo ex-Judge Porter, and that his time for display in the trial will soon come. MB. WILLIAM A. FULLERTON, The greatest doer in these days of Mr. Moulton's direct examination Is ex-Judge Fullerton, the inquisitor for Mr. Tilton. He is a handsome, portly old fellow, with- thin, curly blonde bair, and a boyish moustache of the same color, and with his suav ity and dignified politeness should be admired of womankind. During four hours every day he stands will) a bunch of note paper in bis left band, and with bis right dangles a pair of eye glasses whon they aro not in use. His voice is musical, and he puts questions in a tone not al ways loud enough to be heard by all the lawyers, whereat he is often querously chided by Mr. Evarts. He has made an elocutionary bit in his reading of the scandal letters and Mr. Tilton's poem, "Sir Marmadiiko's Musings. His infusion of fooling into Mr. Beecher'a epistolary out pourings of sentiment i artistic and telling to a dramatic degree. The phrases which nave become worn in to by-words are revived under his elocution into expressions of the most intense and solemn emotions. There is a convenient tremor iu bis voice tbat is very useful for pathetic effects, and be uses it with the dis cretion and cleverness of an oocom plished actor. When be carefully adjusts his eye glasses and alter sev eral trials brings a document exactly into focus, the people expect a re ward for listening and are at once attentive. He is not always unruffled. however, for wben Mr. Evarts attacks bim be flashes up, bot and angry, into snarp retort, xie is strong in repartee, and beats bis antagonist in the manner if not the matter of his personalities. Having won or lost in tho encounter, he drops easily back into placidity. There is little in the task of questioning Mr Moul ton to perplex bim, as the Mutual Friend is a willing and intelligent witness; but in bis cross-examination of Mr. Beecher much interest will be centered. His manner toward witnesses is polite and never bullying. He coaxes into ambushes rather than drive into open encounters. As Mr. Beecber has in the most trying pub lic scenes of the scandal been self controlled and placatory, the struggle between them is sure to be one of bitterness covered by politeness, ' MESSRS. TRACY ASD SHEARMAN. The most aotive of Mr. Beocher'a lawyers in the ante trial times of the scandal is now the idlest while in the court room. Gen. Tracy aits through the session with his chair often tilted back and his hands thrust into his pockets, a close listener; but he titkoB no notes, does not follow the reading of documents in the printed book, and seldom joins in the consultations of his colleagues. He looks like what people call "a long headed fellow" a 01, whisker ed, middle-aged, shrewd-faced man, with intelligent, pleasing features, except that his eyeB have a cold, wily expiession. He showed bis excellence as a speaker in his arguments before the commencement of the trial, but has hot said a word since Mr. Moul ton has been on the standi It is supposed that he will precede Mr. Evarts in the summing up if the plan of allowing two speeches on each side is udhered to. Ho is the only ono of the defendant's counsel who had Bern the originals of the letters previous to the trial, Mr. Moulton having shown them to bim early in the controversy. The rest of the lawyers for the defence ea gerly scan each letter as it is pro duced, notably Mr. Thomas G. Shear man, famous as the dork of rly mouth Church and confidant of Mr. Beecher, ia a very small and, a very busy man , with a pale, beakish face nnd black whiskers. He is always at full tension, with law books and papers in a confused heap around him, and is usually looking for tome thing that he' oannot find. He says nothing while tne examination is going on, although in the previous arguments he was a frequent and fluent speaker. In manner he ' is brusque and nervous, and in bis court-room intercourse with hiB cli ents plainly exhibits bis admiring affection, It is supposed that he will open the case for Mr. Beecher in a speech of two or three days du ration, and his industry in the court room is in preparation. He and Mr. Moulton are bitter enemies, as shown by tho witness pointedly quoting Mr. Beecher as saying that! be was a med dler. Mr. Shearman has brought flowers to court for his pastor's table, and more substantially attests bis love by announcing tbat lie will take no pay for his professional services, MESSRS. PBYOR AID MORRIS. Tho engagement of an old-time Southern fare-eater as a counsel for a former active aboltionist is the odd point in Gen. Roger A. Pryor being one of Mr. Tilton's legal party. Mr. Pryor is a typical man thin, tall, nervously aggressive and hot blood ed. With irregular features, lung, stiff black hair, and large piercing eyes, he is the singular component of the party. . His oratory, as shown in an argument before the actual commencement of the trial, is of the John Randolph sort flory,. bitter and ambitious. He wears a slouch hat and a cloak, iu which guise he is the ideal of a Southerner with dnelibtio incliuings. Iu court-room demeanor he is the most courteous of them all, and the must open in his partisanship. He has nothing to say ut this ejsge of the trial, except in the way of whispered conference, but may precede Mr. Beach in the summing up. He ml at Mr. Tilton's side, with bis ;nder lip protruded in an almost grotesque war, his forehead wrinkled into a frown, and bis flushed face expressive of the acme of combativeness. Whilo Mr. Morris is sick Mr, Pryor helps in the arrangement of papers for pre sentation in Mr. Moulton's testimony. Mr. Morris Iiub made his great effort in his long opening speoTh, and through it has become thoroughly known by ihe public. 1 He has a big nead, a lace mat ne need not ue ashamed of, is vigorous and manly in bearing, and a bard worker in the case. Years ago he and Mr. Tilton had a personal difference, growing out of Misapprehension, and upon lis adjustment uiey oecanie inornate friends. Consequeatly the fight is to him a matter of personal interest, and his refusal the other day to have a friendly talk with tbs defendant was natural enough, , m A Pn'txr Bor. A farmer's boy was crossing a field where a very wild and ferocious bull was allowed to roam at large.

In thirty days be ex plored the nutfgi luver, which Dr. kirk reported to be not navigable. ' Mr. Stanly, as the result of his spir ited and successful voyage in the Yarmouth yawl the Wave, informs us that the river carries a good nav igable channel fifty miles inland; and tie believes that for nearly half that distance the largest Mississippi steamboat of &,0UO tons might safely float. Forty miles from the sea it is brand and has a general depth of at least nine feet; and the waterway beyond, fmicticublu for shallow . stream nunches, extends to a distance of at least 2-10 miles. Not only has Mr. Stanley made known the existence of this important gateway to Eastern Africa, lie has hit on the- lino of the overland slavers, disclosing by his preliminary trip how at one otroke the 5.UQ0 slaves annually driven .to Dar Salaam and the North may be rescued, and thriving commerce opeuod up with an industrious peo ple inhabiting a remarkably fertile region. ' The infamous truffle now lies at the mercy of ber majesty's squad ron, as soou as its officers got orders from home to send boats up the river, and to guard Kisu and Dar nalaani. Mr. Stanley, try his initial bit of 'work, puts the British Consul at Zanzibar lo shame, and justifies tho belief that he is not unworthy to coutintio the work begun by Living stone. Even the scientific geogra phers who have hitherto treated this young American with scant courtesy will learn by-and by to respect him for bis work. STOREY OX TRANNVIIBIOX. General Frank P, Blair's rescue from the jaws of death, as it were, by the simple process of the transfu sion of blood, suggests unlimited possibilitios for the improvement of tho human race. The doctors report that General Blair, after each infu sion, partook largely of the nature of the person from whom the supply of blood was drawn. For instance, wben he received a supply of the life fluid from the arm of a healthy young man, who, unknown to tho physi cians, had been on a small spree the day before, the General Immediately became very drunk, This shows that groat cure must be exercised in the selection of the blood supply But with this precaution observod, what a vast amount of good may b accomplished among our publio men. Take the, case of the Ilov. Henry Ward Beecher to begin with. A pious monk should be found in some secluded cloister, whose reputation for sanctity is unassailable, and Mr. Beecher' veins should be filled pe riodically with the cool blood of th anchorite. Tho blood of a gentle man should be infusod into the veins of Ulysses 8. Grant. For Zacb Chandler, a teetotaler, with an un doubted character for sanctity, should lie found, and found right away. For Matt Carpenter, the same man who did duty for Beecher would serve unless the strain on him was too great, The blood of almost any liody would make an improvement in John A. Logan. A modest man should lie sclented for Murat Halxtoad, even though it be necessary to scrape the country with a fine tooth comb to find him. And so on to tho end of the chapter. The medical profession and the people at large will learn that this transfusion of blood ia a big thing. 1 here s millions in it. Wux he 8rtBE.
