Coleman who was eject ed from h New Haven car bemuse he tried to use a ticket backwards, as it is called, and sued the company for damages 33 account of the injuries he sustained, gives the fullowiug interest ing accnunt of scenes in court : The first questiono of the counsel for the corporation were gentle, sooth ing and seductive; but, finding that I refused the hidden pitfalls into which he would fain lead me, ho changed his method, and strove to make me exhibit myself as a "common travel itig agent," who had deliberately plot ted to swindle the railroad company by trumping up a claim for damages for a pretended injury. Ho interro gated me ps to the particulars of my physical discomforts : on what days did I suffer pain froip my injury f Did tho weather effect my state of health! I lien he required me to con sider what a mean, contemptible fel low I was to try to save two dollars and a quarter by u.sing an old ticket. Then he demanded to know why need I be such a "rough," and get into that disgraceful quarrel, disturbing the other passengers, assulling tho rail road officials; and making them leave their business and eomo all the way to jjoston, when I might have paid my (are, and everyf-liing would have been smooth ? On another trial the lawyer who conducted the case in behalf of the railroad company, thundered out this command "Now, sir, look upon the jury and tell them why you broke the rules of that road why you attempt ed to use that ticket T A man of your nge and your experience ip traveling must have known better. What made you think you could do it?" A hush followed this indignant outburst. Every eye iu the court-room was fix ed upen me ; the spectators straighten ed themselves in their seats to listen ; reporters lifted their heads and fing ered their penoils nervously; the law yers within the bar winked at each other significantly ; and the presiding judge bent forward with ait air of grave expectation. My answer was deliberate, for had and was hardened to the asperities of judicial inquisition: "On general principles, when I pay a dollar for a thing, am entitled to the equivalent oi that dollar, wnauier j. uuy a rail road ticket or potatoes." fY-e-s," rejoined the lawyer, slowly, ana jyim a sneer ii pyery word, "anq when yu buy potatoes, you thiuk you can take it out in sugar or tea. if you prefer." He . had made a good point, he thought, and be cast about the room a look inviting congratulation. "No," I said, "I da not think I can take it out iu sugar or tea. But I think, if I buy a barrel of potatoes it's nobody's business but my own whether I tuke the head out of the barrel and eat through that way, er tip it the other end up, and jjo through that way." . For once I had the whole court with me in a laugh, in which judge, lawyers auu spectators took eager part, and my inquisitor dashed his papers on the table aud dropped into his seaf. During the last Uii.1 I hsd testified that I knew tickets had been used "backwards" ou the road, and I believe suuh usage amounted to a custom. My tormentor asked why I did not uriug witnesses to prove sucn a custom. I replied that we did introduce a wit ness for that purpose, but tho defend ant 8 counsel reiuseu to peimit Mm w testify, declaring J.ha'f; pie qusjom of the road had falling to c)o with the case'; only the rule of the road S'as (o be considered. The counsel denied this, and affirmed that he would not have objected to such testimony if we had been able to produce it. A gen tleman sitting among the spectators rose and whipperea to. my lawyer: aud as soon as I left the vituces etaud he was called and sworn, 'the opposing counsel watching the proceeding with jjndlsguised curiosity. "Mr. Witness," asked my lawyer, "you have travelled a good deal on the New York New Haven Railroad, have yeu not?" "Yes, ir." "State whether or net you ever had had any tickets to go in the reverse direejjoii, and how'they were niamea. .pciore tue witness could answer, thei counsel for tfie railroad sprang up apdyeheiueutly protested against" the introduction of the evidence. The judge eyideptly did not comprehend the situation, and' tprqed ac inquiring look ppon my' lawye'r,' who answered it by saying, 'lYeur Honor, the defend ants bare asked uie why we did uot call witnesses to prove the custom of using tickets 'backwards,' aud said that they should not object if we did so. Now we nut this pentlemaa en the stand to show that he had such ticket " "Yes, and used them, too," interrupted the witness. "Stop, sir!" cried the judge, "you are uot to testify until yau are told to do so." But the cautiou was too late ; the mischief was dene : and again all present, appreciat ing the humor of this breach of legal etiquette, united in a hnrly laugh. It was plainly unnecessary to pursue the examination of this witness further, and he was permitted to stand aside. MISTAKE IDK.NT1T V-A IXKIOI H CAME. Iu 187 , on tho steamer , from Louisville to Bowling Green, was a large party of pnssengers. We had gotten some distance up Green River, when, at some landing, a gen tleman and lady came abroad, regis tered as man and wife, and were duly assigned a stateroom in the ladies' cabin. The boat's cabin presented the usual varied scene, some reading, several groups at the card tables, and knots here and there engaged in con versation. In a few minutes a waiter came forward and told tho Cuptain that the lady that had just come aboard wished to see him in her room, who, a little surprised and wondering, went immediately back aud knocked at the door, which was hesitatingly, cautiously, with evident signs of tre pidation, opened. They were both unmistakably, much alarmed, and the lady appealed to the Captain pitcously for protection. To his astonished in quiries about the cause of all this, she explained that in passing down the halj ?';e recognised a man who had been her husband, fcut frpm whom she had separated and married again, and who had driven them from their homes with threats of violence, and followed them with every possible annoyance ; that they had just left a place in In diana, as they thought secretly, when lo and behold ! here he was after her in Kentucky! Sho was in dispair and implored the Captain to protect them. He assured her he would, but begged her to point qut the man, as he was acquainted with nearly all, and could not imagine which one it could be. After much importunity, tho curtain being partially drawn to secure her from viow, she wns at last prevailed uprn to pass cautiously out, her hus band standing behind her, and evident ly equally frightened. The ridiculous ness of the scene here presented may be imagiued. Her eye, with terrified fusciuatiou, at last rests upon him, and she points out a Mr. , well known to the Captain a gentleman who 1)C had known for years well knew he was Uft married and had every reasou to bellovo had ncypr been. The Captain assured her she was mistaken; thnf he knew the fact above related in regard to the man, and that it could not be true. She said, vehemently, "I know it is him. Do you ihiuk it possible that I could live with a mau three years in rela tion of a wife, that only a few weeks should intervene since I saw him, aud then be unable to recognize him or mistake another for him?" This was a poser sure enough, and to a stranger to all the parties, con vincing and unanswerably. Jut then, there stood the living,' incredible, insurmountaoie met taat this was John , and not Mr. . I had known for five or six years that he was not married, and had not been witnin tnat time, bo wo had it, nei ther beiR2 able to convice the other, I proposed to bring him up for a closer inspection, but she was too much afraid of him to consent; but repeat ed assurances of protection at lust pre vailed, aud I went out for him. Cull ing him out from his card party, I bfjedy told him what had occurred, and in his wondering amazement he assumed something of the appearunce of a frightened culprit.' ' Irouglit face to face,"t!ie ludicrousuess and singular ity of the case culminated. He com mences : "What is this you accuse me of, raadame of being your former hus band, of following you with threats to kill, etc.? Why, I do not know you never saw you before on earth, to my knowledge, and I never had a wife" She, answering, "That, sir! You deny f)at your name is , that you were once my husband, and that we separated iu , Indiana?" ite, "Yes matjanfe, dp, deny it, each and all, most emphatically." By this time quite a crowd had been attracted as witnesses aud auditors. Shu evidently was convinced of her mistake, and, alter a flight pause, says : "Well, there is one way to decide this question of yeracity between you and myself. If yuu are Mr. , si)d my former husband, you have a deep scar in the edge of your ear, hidden by your Lair, (ind at the op of your forehead." ' Imagine the scene here. All are eager too see the result of the test, as he pulls oil' his hat, and stooping, pre sents his head for close inspection. She nerveously raises his hair, aud loeks, there was no scar to be seen. He feels that he has triumphed, and the com pany present acquit bim, but bhe, amazed and confused, seems but half convinced. Here the case rests. I have never since spen or heard of the strangely deluded lady, but the gen tleman, tho subject ot this delusion, is still living on Greeu River, a respect ed good citizen, and the hundreds who know him know this was a mistake utterly incredible and incomprehensi ble not committed by an acquaint ance, nor even an intimate friend, but by a wife, who had lived with a man in a marital relation for three or four years, and only separated from him then for a few months. As. a case of "mistaken identity," it certainly js without parallel. Cor. Bowling Green (Ky.) I'antarraph. A RIDE FWU I.I FK The following ia an extract from "Life on tho Plums," by General G. A. Custer, iu the May number of the Clalary : There was a beautiful clear sticam of water, named Bluff creok, running through camp, which supplied bath ing facilities to the officers and men, a privilege which but few allowed to pass unimproved. Whether to avoid the publicity attending looalities near camp, or to seek a point in the bed of the stresra where the water was fresh and undisturbed, or from a mo tive different from either of these, two of our young officers mounted their horses one day without saddles and rodp cjpwn the valley qf t)P stream perhaps a mile or njore iu search of a bathing place. Discovering one to their taste, they dismounted, secured their horses, and after disposing of their appearl on the greensward cov ering the banks, where soon floating and floundering in the water like a pair of young porpoises. How long they had been enjoying this healthy recreation, or how much longer they might have remained, is not necessary to the story. Que of them happening to glance toward their horses observed the latter in a state of great terpidu tion. Hastening from the water to the bank, he discovered the cause of tho strange conduct on the part of the horses, which was nothing less than a party of about thirty Indian warriors, mounted, aud stealthily making their way towards the bathing party, evi dently having their eyes on' tho latter, and intent upon their captuo. Here was a condition of affairs that was at least unexpected as it was unwelcome. Quickly called out his companion, who was still in the water, unconscious of approaching danger, tlio one on shore inatje J)"usfe fo unfusteu thpir horses and prepare fur flight. Fortunately the Indians, who were now within a few hundred yards of tle two officers, were coming from the direction opposite camp, leaving the retreat of the officers open. No soon er did the warriors find that their ap proach was discovered than they put their ponies to their best speed, hop ing to capture the officers before the latter could have tinio to mouut and get their horses under hendway. The twq oiicerg jo the meanwhile Were'fur from idle ; no flesh brushes or bathing towels were required to restore a healthy circulation, nor was time wast ed in an idle attempt to make a toilet. If they had sought their bathing ground from motives of retirement or delipacy, no such sentiments were ex hibited now, for cutchjug up their wardrobe froin the ground iu one hand, seizing tho bridle rein with the other, ono leap and they were ou their hors es' backs and riding toward camp fr de.ir life. They were not exactly in the condition of'Flora McFlimsy, with uotliiug to wear, but to all intents and purposes might well have becu so. Then followed a race, which, but for the risk incurred by two of the riders, might well be compared to that of John Gilpiu. Both of the officers were experienced horsemen, but what experienced horseman would willingly care to bo thrust upou the bare buck ofa iiyiug steed, minus all apparel, neither boots, nor breeches, nor saddlo, not even the spurs and shirt cellar which are said to constituto the full uniform ofa Georgiun Cqlonol, and when so disposed of, to have three or four score of hideously paiuted and feathered savages, well mounted and uear at hand, straining every nerve and urging their jeet-fooled war pon ies to their highest speed in order that the scalps of the experienced horsemen might be added to their other human trophies which grace their lodges? Truly this was one of the occasions when personal upperances is nothing, aud "a man's a man for a' that," so at least thought our amateur Mazeppus as they came, pushing towards camp, ever and anun casting anxious glances over their shoulders at their purt-uers, who despite every exertion of the former, were surely overhauling their pulef'uced brothers. To thq pursued, camp seemed a long way in the dis tance, while the shouts of tlio warriors, each time skeined nearer thpua before, warned them to urge ttieir steeds to their fastest pace. In a few moments the occupants of the camp discovered the approach of this strangely appear ing party. It was an easy matter to. recognize the warriors, but who could name the two who rode at tho front The pursuing warriors, teping that they were not likely td overtake and capture the two knights of the bath, slackened their horses and sent a vol-' ly of arrows after them, A few min utes later and the two officers were safe Inside the Jinps, where they lost no time in making their way to their tents to attend to certain matters re lating to their toilet which the sudden appoaronce of their dusky visitors had prevented. Jt was a long time before they censed to hear allusions made by their comrades tq the cut and style of their riding suit. ' 1 A VONIM-:HFI'I. PIIOTOiltAI'lliC KK.T. The San Francisco Eraminer says : Some time ngo Governor Standford, the owner of the horso Occident, which was made farrious from having been beaten in a raco with tho GoJdr smith Maid, desired to have a photo grap'.i of the animal taken whilo said animal was goin at full speed. Mr. Muybridge, the artist, was applied to, but he expressed his doubts that it could be done. He began experi menting, however, and after n whilo was abje tq catch objects on tho wirjfj with great success. A few days agq he announced to the owner of Occi dent that he believed that he eeuld, take the picture. He procured all the stable sheets tq be had in the stable, and with these made a reflecting baplfr ground. Over this Occident was trained to trot, and everything was then in readiness for the trial. The great difficulty was to transfj art Im pression while the horse was moving at tho rate of thrrty-eight feet to the second. Tho first experiment of open ing and closing the camera on the first day left no result ; the second day , with increased velocity in opening and closing, a shadow was caught. On the third day, the artist having stud ied the matter thoroughly, contrived to have two boards slip pass each oth er by touching a spring, ond, in so doing, to leavo an eighth of an inch opening for the five-hundredth part of a second, as the horse passed, and by an arrangement of doublo lenses, crossed, secured a negative that shows Occident in full motion a perfect likeness of the horse. The space of tinio was so small that the spokes of the wheels of the sulky were caught as if they were not in motion. This is probably the most wonderful success 111 photographing ever yet achieved, and the artist is as proud of his dis covery as the Governor is of tho pic ture taken. A STAtiU THICK. Seeing John Brougham, the other evening, brought to miud one of tho dramatic jokes that he used to nut up ou the adionces at Burton's old thea tre iu Chambers street. An announce ment was mado on the bills of an after-piece called "This House for sale." During its progress some of the actors would pretend to have a misunderstanding resulting iu higlf words, bitter recriminations, and tho ringing down of tho curtain, amid great confusion. Then ono of the comedians wou!1. appear before the foqt-ights, apologize for the unpleasant enenp that had oc curred, and justify himsel f for the part he hud taked iu tho quarrel. After his retirement, another actor would present himself, rehearse his griev ances, and endeavor to set them right with tho audience. The people in front would get much . excited and take Bides with this or that actor, aud would be divided be tween hisses aud applause. The play ers would add to the confusion by rushing before the curtain, and cou tiudicting one another. When tho agitation was iu its height, Jehu Brougham would enter upon the scene, and beg for the sake of public decen cy aud professional honor, to bo heard a few moments. Then he would re mark that the title of the piece was "T!'U House for Sale," and he would leave it to his friends iu the pit aud boxes to determine whether "this house" had not been very budly sold. The audience, (hen perceiving for the first time how it had been cajoled, would burst into a roar of laughter, and go home in perfect good humor. Those who had been deceived ono evening wore so anxious others should be deceived on another eveuiug, that they would keep their own couusel. Tho newspapers were in the secret, aud made no allusion to the joke, which, br this means, was kept up for five or six wotks. Cor. St. Louis Glube.
