Upon taking possesion, Mrs. McCreary brought

however, was posted, a the law directs, on the

therwlse, and h!a decision was In favor of Mrs,
VoCrrady, and Miss Sellcck therefore remains

These ornaments to their sex, the editresses

that the velocipede is a big thing, and being

fashion, in the . same way as the genuine

This letter is to be alt about the lad:es, so that
I need no apology for making mentiou of some
facts about one of our most accomplished lady
puff-writers, Mr?. Sarah A.. Wright Mrs.

several lales of more or less merit. Indeed.lt

trashy. Ske has lately been bringing a suit
against Mrs, Imogen Walton, whose husband,
the plaintiff s.ild, made an arrangement to pay
bar 925 for a certain article, or "puff," which
she was to prepare. Mr. Walton denies the
truth of this allegation. He made an arrange
Stent with Mrs. Wright and paid for It, but after
that came t3 the conclusion that paying for
"puffb" was not what it was cracked np to be,
aid refused to enter into an arrangement for
any mere. His wife agreod with him, and, to
se a bold but beautiful figure of speech, they
bath "shut down" on Mrs. Wright. The pnff
antboress, wonnded in her tenderest senslbilL
ilee, flew to the courts for redress; but Mr. and
Mrs. Walton both being sustained in their state
meats by a number of their employes, a deci
sion was given In favor of the defendant, and
Airs. Wright retired worsted from the combat.
The visitor to fashionable houses will occa
sionally be dismayed by the eccentricities of a
phenomenon whose use and subservience in the
economy of fashionable lile he will not at first
be able to understand. It Is one of the innova
tions made by belles who have nothing better
to think of. The phenomenon consists of a page
r ''buttons," of about fifteen or sixteen, whose
prlneipal duty appears to be to carry cards and
otss on salvers, and regard visitors generally
as invited to the house expressly to become
victims of his pleasantries. The "page" It fast
becoming an institution in every well-appointed

The report of the Board of Managers ot the

from It we glean tbe following;
Toe Hospital was instituted In the month of

organisation of competent and willing officers;
and with a country mansion tne chili nood's

We bave received tbe following explanatory
note irora one of tbe jurymen in the Byrnes

iviy atiention uaa been urawn to me
artlelein jour paper of yesterday, under tbe
bead ol tbe Byrnes Homicide, aud bad it told
tbe wbo:e story 1 auonui not nave deemed win
renlv necessary. But ln.tnstioe to myself, and
ine rtst ot tne jurors in idih oaw, i wonm i-
snt cifullv otler to von some iurtner ilebt on
tbls sui'ieci. 'inepisioi given in eviaeuoH a
tbe one' taken from the person of Samuel Holt
wAF.nn von bave described, a tbree-barrelled
revomrxnd a sell-cocker, anil was no doubt
exHinlretl by the ofiicera of tJe law. as well
as by all legally entitled locio so. lioi nrst let us
see why tbis jury inspected the weapon s
closely. Upon nrst sight ine jury were enabled
to ace tfaat tbe tubes, upon whtoQ the per
cussion caps are placed, were, witb the excep
tion oi one. apparently useless, iue greater part
of them relnn spill on, and ta such a manner as
to almost rtnder It impossible for a cap so re
main on them unlesB Kepi lu their position by
tbe bBTnmer.wblub, it can be readily seen, could
only cover one, and keep in piaoe one. Tne ex
ceptional one mentioned above was also ln a
bad condition, it belnx spilt ln the centre.
Consequently this one barrel alone eonld.be
considered effective. Tbe mutilation of these
tubes led the jury to a lurUier and more strict
examination, and tbe barrel not revolving
when the trigger was pulled, led tbem
to examine tbut poition of the pistol,
when tbe break ln the connecting rod
you speak of was found. Tne jury, not know
ing wbal was tbe cause of tiicir discovery, went
immediately to tbe court-room for Informa
tion. Not receiving any, tbey then surely had
only tbelr Judgment tY guide them, leaving,
according to their instructions, all reasonable
doubts for the benefit of tbe prisoner. This
pUtol might be handled by many, and all
minute particulars as to tubes not speolaliy
noticed; but by men eworn to give a Just ver
dict according to Ibe evidenoe rendered, a
very close scrutiny tbeu becomes a duty, and
la this case tbe jury-did ibeirs. As to a fresh
break, 1 tbinkany worker In Iron wll say ibata
break ln iron may be made, and if tbe parts are
not exposed to dampness, tbe break will look
fresh along time. Dt no cue experienced gun
smith take tbls pistol and lnRoect It. and Der-
baps be could throw some light ou tbe fact that
not only was the barrel or Its coanvctlons
broken, but two of tbe tubes were useless, and
not fresh breaks by appearanoe neither. Also,
let It be remembered tbere was evidenoe to
prove that one of these barrels was found
loaded. I only ask that you mav look at thin
ln Us right light, as I bave given you tbe plain

w8Hjf(oro-, Feb. iT. .
The I.onlalsniB Cntesf.s Kicetlon Case
came np today, sod 'Menard, the coined
clalmsnt, was allowed fifteen minutes to
addrcts tbe nao.Be on his own be
half. Mr. Wood ward. Pa . and o4hr nmA
crats, Insisted, m a jocular maoner that Msnard
suouid spe.a. jrotn the elevated position ot the.
Clerk's 'desk. Menard re ued to do so, but took
a position at Mr. Allison's seat, abost midway
on tbe Republican side, and made a clear and
succinct statement of his ca:e.
He was lis'.ecel to with tho closest a'.tentlon
bv both tho IiepublicaLs and Democrats as
also by tbe R8ller!c, which happened to be
well filled at the time. Alluding to the fact that
tteotber contestant (Hunt), who is a whits
nian, bad Dot taken testimony within the time
prescribed by law, he said if Hunt knew so
little about the laws of Congress as that, he was
Lardly a fit man to come here as a member
Tbis point was so well Uken that It elicited
much laughter and tokens of approval from the
Hepnblicau side of the Ilouse.
Wben Menard bad coucladed, Hnnt wat
asked to go on with his de'ense; bnt ltf.K?rr,
of Ind afia, replied that Mr. HulI 414 not de'
sire to make any remarks. At a proper time
others would speak for him. The fact tbat the
white man could not or did not speak for
himself as well as a negro elicited much com
ment, and Menard stock went np, while tha
other went down.
Menard is lu possession of the c rtlflcate of
election, ilfftied by Governor Warmouth, and
the Republicans contend that as this is prima
fdcfeevidence of hi ejection.he should be sworn
la. A resolution will bo offered to this effect,
aud probably be adopted. -
