SOMEWHAT SENSATIONAL.

Such is the Character Which the Lightcap Case Assumes. llio latter purt oi yesterday afternoon and a ]art of this morning was occupied in hearing the evidi uco of the defense iu the trial of Nancy Lightcap. Nancy herself was the chief witness iu her own cause and proved to lie a verv interesting one. She boldly charged that the whole case was trumped up by oilieers Eusminger, Grimes uud Connors, and made some very grave charges against the two latter gentlemen. She aso attacked the character and motive of the chief witnesses ol the prosecution in a very startling manner. Her style upon the witness stand was forward and brazen and she drove her thrusts home in most ama/.oman muuner. She suffered considerably in the cross examination us did several of her witnesses. The best witness she produced was one Guthrie, who swore an alibi. The evidence iu rebuttal on both sides proved the characters of most of the witnesses to be exceedingly bad. Arguments wore mule this morning by attorneys Courtney and Clodfolier for the defense and Anderson for the prosecution.The arguments were all line, ii their way, and enough charaoters destroyed to stock a good sized community. The speeches were finished at noon, and upon the assembly of the court at 1:30, (.lit judge gave his charge, which was a very mild one, to the jury and they retired with the future^career of the airv, fairy, Nancy iu their keeping. Much indignation is expressed by the police nccount of Nancy's grave charge, and they positively deny them all.

Tho Bible contain* no cheerful exhortation to laughter. For the most part, Indeed, It is referred to in the metaphorical sense of "scorning," as when it is written ot leviathan that "he laughethat the shaking of a spear." Hut there are passages also where the ordinary meaning is evidently intei#led, and iu almost every one of these it Is eyed aakanco. Solomon Is the great authority on the Hubjeet let him speak for himself: "I said of laughter. It Is mad andof mirth, Whatdoethiti'" ''Eveu in laughter tho heart is Korrowful, aud tho end of that mirth is heaviness." A

4A fool lifted up his voicw with laughter, but a wise man doth scarce stuilo a lit-tlo." Not very encouraging, truly, to thoso of bliiirlous procllvltliM. It may be legitimate enough to ccimpare the giggle of a fool to "tho crackling of thorns under a pot," but It Begins bivrd that there should be no word of approval for tlie milder merriment of tho few who may Ik* Huppuaed not to belong to fooldom. Yee, by tho way, there is one, and oijly one: *'A timo to laugh," but we may fcixiroh the Scrlpturcs from Gemwis to the Apocalypse without detecting any lutimatlon atf to when that timo occura. Probablv Solojnon meant the brief period of childhood, when Ignorance is bliss, aud we iire merry without knowing or caring to know why. lie could uot eousretently recommend any such frivolity to those of a larger growth after having so bitterly commented ou tho practice In previous uhaptcra.—Ceutlumau's Magaiciue.

Geolr»g1st.s lire always ready to use work ilone by laborers In ulher liranclics of science, and of late a most lutcrestliiM work has been going on which shows the Ih\-i!^ ing one brunch of knowledge may have ou another. X'rofesMors Kucker and Thorpe have been carefully noting the behavior of the magnetlc neeillc iu various pails of Kngland, and have fnuud that. it. is dcllected at times In it most im*xplit-allc manner. The detlectlon was at first charged to great musses of basaltic, or like rocks, the mineral of which contains a large amount of iron.

Finding, however, that this peculiar behavior of the magnetic needle occurred ulifu tn tracts where no such rocks were at tho surface, hut which consisted of such formation us chalk and tertiary beds, these observers were led to concluile that deep underground In tracts theit .as muss of basaltic or other highly ferruginous rock that affected the needle.
