Mr. Graham—l object. The prosecu

the purpose of prejudicing the jury, but
if it gets in It will not have that result.
They mutt prove McFarland was the
aggressor, to make any point for the
prosecution, and they are not allowed to
do that. When this thing was fresh,
why did they not bring the prisoner to
the bar, and not wait until it had disap
peared from the memory of every one ?
If Richardson had been brought into
Court at the time public feeling was so
aroused, that Richardson would never
have left the Court-room alive. Mr.
Graham then instanced the case of Me-
Cloud, to show that no new matter

Judge Gridley to that. elTect. He also
referred to three English decisions no

Stanton and Judge Parka. He went on to
denounce the attempt on the part of the
prosecution as mean, finnessing sad
unworthy of the candor 'of the - District
Attorney.
Judge Garvin said when he took up the
case he considered it a case of murder,
pure and simple, and had brought evi
dence to prove It. The defense has an
knowledged the killing, bat has claimed
the prisoner wks Insane, and cons*.
quently not reap:mobil:. for his acts.
They have spent ten days in accumula
ting evidenee to establish Mit theory.
Counsel for the &tense has denounced
the private character of the prosecution
from day to day, and now they break
forth with the wildest diatribes because
the prosecution attempts to use • their
privilege of rebuttal. The prosecution
merely , wishes to prove that the prisoner
was not insane, and this evidence. Is
certainly rebuttal in Its character, and
consequently admissible. The case of
McCloud is not at all a parallel.
Mr. Graham In reply said, if the low ail
quoted by him was new to the District
Attorney, he (Mr. Graham) had been
familiar with it fora quarter of smuttily.
I The object of the prosecution was to
introduce men who would swear to sny
thing necessary to. hang the prisoner.
Any evidence calculated to show malice
, ought to be excluded. Let the prosecu
tion have all latitude to attempt to break
down the evidence for the defence; but
they must rest there and not intr oduce
new matter. They can "nay bring for-
ward negative testimony, and the Court
is bound to exclude all extraneous evi
dence not purely replicatory.
The Recorder considered it only fair
that the prosecution should be permitted
to rebut the evidence adduced by the
defence to prove the Insanity of the pre
' otter. Therefore he would rule • the evi
dence competent to be admitted.
The Court here adjourned.

sons far beyond the allotted three score
and ten, with eyes radiant with tearful
joy over them. We tried once to make
a collection of poetic allusions to the
sweet flower. We soon found more then
five hundred, and gave up in despair,
having by no means exhausted our re.
sources. st.
Millions of millions of "sweet violets"
are now beautifying the lawns and gar
den borders. While we write, borne on
the breeze, the sweet perfume of their
breath comes from the sunny southern
bank, where year after year they make
their appearances as regularly as the
robins and blue birds and golden orioles
in the elm trees above them. How end
denly they spring Into life! Watch them
patiently as you will, and, you see no
sign. Let a warm day come, let a genial
breeze blow over them, and they are,
purpling the greensward; springing forth
fall.grown, like Minerva .from the head
of Jupiter. They need no care, and ask
no protection.? Throw a root carelessly
on the turf, and presently you have a
colony established, epreading Its borders,
and throwing out Its runners in all direc
tions. A mass of them Is beautiful, so is
a little clump, and so is a solitary mem
ber of the family, found in some tmex.
petted spot. Passing through the garden
of a Stately dwelling a few days since,
we saw three white violets, which had
crept into a border devoted to German
ivy. A heaped basket of rarest exotics
would not have elicited half the admira
tion we gave to those sweet intruders,
those lovely symbols of the gentle graces,
those touching reminders of the power al
modest worth. -
Then welcome to the 'violets now fill
ing their place in the procession of the
flowers. Glorious in coloring, artistic in
outline, fresh as the breath of morn,
countless In abundance, and Ineffable In
perfume, let them teach in floral len;
gunge lessons of the beauty of humility,
and of the sweet fragrance of a holy life.
The voice of - God may still be heard In
the garden as in the days of old.—Prov.
Journal.
Lightning Rode
I consider the Munson Rod greatly su
perior to any of the kind with which I
acquainted.. In the points of attraction
which it presents, not only by the ordi
nary termination at the summit, but by
its spiral flanges, in amount of surface
for its weight, and consetnently its con-.
ducting power, in simplicity of arrange—
ment, strength, durability and cheapness,
it has precedence over all others, and
must necessarily come into general usu.,
Indeed, as an instrument I •consider if
perfect. N. C. Remora, LL. b.,
