THE TWO TRAVELERS. WILLIAM CÜUE BEYAST. February Atlantic - T waa evening, and before my eve There lay a landscape gray and dim : Fields fntntly seen and twilight skiea And cloud thai hid the hoiizou's brim. , I iaw-or was It that I dreamed? . A waking dream? I can not nay; , yorevery shape as real Memel A those that meet my eye to-day. Through leaflet shrubs the cold wind hissed ; The air was thick with foiling snow ; And onward, through the frozen mist, i saw a weary traveler go. Driven o'er that landscape baie and bleak, Belbreth whiruuKRUBtaof air. The no-nakea imot hl withered cheek, And gathered on bia silver hair. Yet on t1 e fared through blinding snows. And murmuring to himself he said: The night is near, the darkness grows. And bJguer rise the drifw I tread. "Deep, deep each Autumn flower they hide; Each tuf i of preen they whelm from sight; And they who journeyed by my side Are loct in the surrounding night. "I loved them ; oh, no word can tell The love that to mj fitendn I bore; We parted with the sad farewell Of thostj who part to meet no more. "And I, who face this bitter wind. And o'er Ines snowy hillock creep. Must end my Journey soon and find A frosty couch, a frozen sleep." As thus he spoke, a thrill of pain Munt to my heart; 1 cio.ed my eye, And when I opened them a. aiu 1 started with a glad turprihe. T wa evening still, and in the West A tluan, of ;iowin crlmoa lay. 1 saw the morrow there ni b e-t That promise of a glorious day. The waters, in their glaw.y sleep, Hhone with the hues that tinged the sky. And rugg-Hl cliffand barren steep Uleamtd wi;h a brightness from on high. And one was thpre whose Journey lay Into tbe slowly gatherlugnljsht; With steady tepne held his way O'er shadowy vale and gleaming night. I marked his firm though weary tread, The litted eye and brow serene. And saw no snade of doubt or dread Pass o'er that traveler's placid mien. And others came, their Jonrney o'er. And bade good night with words of cheer: To-morrow we shall meet once more; 'Pis but the nlht that parts us here." "And I," he said, "shall sleep ere long These fading gleams will Mxn be gone shall sleep, to rise, refreshed and strong, In the bright day that yet will dawn." 1 heaiH; I watched him as he went, A lessening form, until the light Of evening from the firmament Had passed, and he was lost to sight. NEWS AND GOSSIP. A committee of three have been appointed in Toledo to make the neeesary preparations for starting a school of design, as the beginning of a university of arts and trades There are few sights more inspiring than the spectacle of a small boy shooting along an alley way with about lour feet of bull dog fastened to his troupers, and floating in the breeze behind him.

There is a story from Taris of a dog that has been sleeping ever since the 11th of last November. Alas, there are no such dogs in America. The American dog not only stays awake himself, but keeps every other living thing awake. It is thought that colored Cadet Baker will be dismissed from the naval academy for incapacity to improve, at the next semi annual examination, which begins on the 25th inst. Iiis standing in studies is extremely low. The Nevada legislature has been called the "Legislature Mining Company, organized to sink a shaft on the Sharon lead; shares at ? 10,000." It cost the distinguished bonanzist just $SOO,000 to get to the 86nate. Sharin terms like these pay all around. The Courier-Journal is authority for the charge that Kalakaua hadn't been in Chicago more than an hour and a half before several of bis new acquaintance? wanted to know if he couldn't do a. little something for them in the way ol quieting "that mortgage." The Milwaukee Sentinel having intimated that the Courier-Journal man secures shirts from bU neighbor's clothes line, the littla talker of tho C. J. saltly responds: "As the Sentinel itsely is satisfied with one shirt a month, it never feels that soul-consuming yearning for a clean one which makes a clothes-line attractive to the most ot us." After a Detroit man has sat in a street car eight minutes to get paät the switch, be opens the front door and shouts: "Sir, are ?on the driver of this 'ere car?" The driver as to own up, and the man continues: "Well, sir, I want to tell you that I could make a better road than this out of two clothes pins and a brick!" Having beard his daughter remark, "Ob, your nose is as cold as an iceberg," a Boston father just stepped out into tha parlor, but finding the daughter at one end of the sofa and the young man at the other end very quiet, be concluded th&t hU hearing wm not reliable in bis old age, so he retired and said nothing. A Berlin correspondent refers thus to our minister at that court: Mr. and Mrs. Bancroft Davis have been absent some time in Paris, in order to attend the wedding of a relative of Mrs. Davis, a Miss King, who married' Mr. Waddington, minister of in struction, and who replaces . Guizot in the French Assembly. Upon their return Mrs Davis was quite ill with diphtheria, but is now better, and has Issued cards for her first reception. The invitations are entirely different from Mr. Bancroft's, and much more American and homelike. The Beading (Pa.) Times thus refers to the death of a local giant: On Wednesday morning Mr. William Kupp, aged 21 years, residing near Dougbsville, and celebrated throughout that section for his remarkable weight, died suddenly. Mr. Kopp was b wonderfully framed man, weighed 450 pounds, and some idea of his immense size may be gathered from the tact that the calf of his right leg measured 29 inches in circumference. He was 5 feet 8 inches in height, acd was, without doubt, the heaviest man in the United States. lie wa3 said to have been a singularly handsome man, and his unusual size did not seem to detract from his personal comeliness. It is stated by the, publishers of Dr. John W. Drcper that the works of ro living author, or any pest or novelist, living or dead, have been translated into so many languages, or have so many readers, as his. The treatise on the "Intellectual Davelopraent of Europe" r's appeared in English., Irenen, German. Italian, and Knsiian: while ths "Conflict of Science and Religion" his last cununuurm to literature was puonsneci simultaneously in America.Englaod.Fiance, Spain, Germanv. Italy, and Kussia. It might be added to this f tatement, that there is perhaps no aitbnr, living cr dead, about the value of wLosa works there are such conflicting o;i:;5on. He is pronounced, on the one hand, a nun of vast aud profound teaming, wdob lesuniony on any subject is to De accepted as conclusive authority; and, on the other band, be is said to be a literary charlHUn, superficial and untruätwort.iy. Oaefüciia certain: bis reputation stands higher In Europe than ia hla own country.

TUB TILTON 8UIT. A GREATER CROWD PRESENT THAW EVER MOCLTON'S CROSS-EXAMIXATIOX continued BUTLER AND JAYNE. Now that the cross-examination of Francis D. Moulton has begun even greater interest, if possible, seems to be taken in the scandal trial, and ;from an early hour this morning crowds besieged the entrance ' to ' the Brooklyn city court room. But a tew minutes were required in which to pack the space allotted to the public, when once the doors were opened. The counsel were all early in their places. Moulton and Tilton arrived together, aud Beecher and his wife, accompanied by the wife of their son, Frederick, entered precisely at 11 o'clock, and as the court was being formally opened, Mrs. Field, Mrs. Tilton, Mrs. Sheaiman and Mrs. Raymond occupied tbeir accustomed places. When the jurors were called William II. Davis was missing, and nearly ten minutes were wasted waiting bis arrival. As soon as he took bis seat the cross-examination of Moulton was continued by ex-Judge Porter. Tho witness said: Mr. Beecher was in the habit of visiting me about twice a day during ourinti macy, but Tilton was often in my bouse. Ullou and I went frequently on fishing excursions together, and visited watering places. I visited Narragansett with him in the summer ot 1SG8 and lSoO. We did not go West together nor visit Wash in Eton togiber. I was in sympathy with Tilton in the woman's riabt3 movement, and visited Newport to attend a convention with him. I acted as council for Tilton in his dealings with Mr. Bowen. The contract between Tilton and Bowen wa3 settled for 7)00 from June, 1S71, to May, 1S73. I received various sums from Beecher, in all about six or seven thousand dollars. I think that I have met Mr. Beecher three or four times, fever visited ber. My acquaintance with her was slight. I have met Mrs. Morris several times. We were not unfriendly in our relations. ImetMrs. Hooker once in Richmond in March, 1871. While I was acting as the mutual friend of these parties Beecher sometimes acted on my advice and Tilton sometimes acted against it. I did not bear of the biography of Victoria Woodhull from Tilton before it apppared. Did not approve of it. The counsel read a letter from Tilton to a complaining friend, and the witness said: It was deposited with me by Tilton. I knew Mrs. Woodhull. I met her first in the spring of 1S71. I met her first at her house in New York. The next meeting was at Theodore Tilton 'a house shortly alter April, 1871. I couli fix the time of meeting her by cards published in the World. It was shortly after the card was published. Before that interview I never saw her. The second interview took place a day or two after the first. I had a conversation with her in Mr. Tilton's presence. I saw her after that from time to

time. The last time was in the spring of 1872, 1 think. It was in her house on Sixteenth street when I mot her. Theodore Tilton was with me. I was usually there in the evening with her. I never was in tho game house in which she was staying overnight, and I never traveled with her that I can remember. Snnie ot the interviews lasted an bour,and the others two hours. I have made statements to hor with regard to the STORIES AGAINST BEECHER, and also with Tilton. I never mentioned the name of any lady in connection with Til ton to her. I do not know that I read all of her published statement, and do not remem ber what part I omitted. I got the general drift or It, however. I never told ber that I took a pistol to Beecher and demanded Mrs. Tilton's letter under pain ot instant death. I remember now, I did read that portion of Mrs. Woodbull's statement with regard to the pistol scene. Beecher asked me if I remembered that part of the scene with the pistol referred to in the statement. I told him that I did not, and he answered that neither did he. I had no conversation with Tilton about Beecher' presiding at a lecture to be delivered by Mrs. Wood hull. I nover told Tilton that her letter to Beecher came at my rennest. I think I was at Tilton's on two occcasions when Mrs. Woodhull was there. I never found Tilton at her house when he did not come with me, and generally left with me, and disapproved of the Bacon letter and was against its being made public. I advised against Tilton's second statement, the one eenerallv called tho sworn statement. I don't know how Mm. Woodhull got the' pistol story, but do know that that affair never occurred. I reported what occurred at Beech er's on that occasion to the nitons. 1 con demned Beecher for obtaining the retraction ot Mrs. T. I don't remember everadvisine Beecher not to bee Tilton nor communicate with bini through me. I advised silence on the part of Beecher in relation to the Wood hull publication, although I never read it. I had full knowledge of its contents obtained from people who read It. I only read all that portion prejudicial to Beecher and re lating to my sei I. ione oi me cnarges in the card published by Beecher in the Brook lyn Eagle in 1373 was made by me. They were made by Kinsella, the editor. The counsel read the letter which stamps the stories against Beecher as false.. I do not know why these were made but thev were all the work of Kinsella. I told Beecher I thought it was a mistake to call an investigation committee. In accordance with the views of my legal adviser, General Butler. I refused to let Beecher have copies of ihe letters and documents in my hands. General Butler was my friend and adviser, but be was never paid a fee by rne.or my firm. He never was counsel for us against the custom house, but he was counsel for Jayne, the special agent of the treasury department. His advice began to me when this controversy first began. We "had a CONTROVERSY WITH THE GOVERNMENT at that time, bat be was not instrumental in arranging the matter. Jayne and I never conferred about Beecher's affairs. I hive paid fees to counsel who were encaged by Tilton. but I never contributed to the ex tent of the publications made from time to time. I never paid anythlcg or promi9ea anything. The counsel here sought to show that the witness had been indicted and was pursued under civil suits for the statements made fty him, du, these, tne court ruiea, could not be brought In as evidence. Mr Evarts arerued that the witness was an in terested party as he was implicated in all these suits; and they wanted to show that the witness was hostile to the defendant. The court assumed that the witness had alreadv shown that he was hostile when he said their friendly relations ceaaod at a cer tain date, and ruled all these statements and the suits growing out of them not admissible. The counsel then ofTared each sepa rately, and they were in turn ruled out and au exception taken to eacli ruling. After the recess Moulton resumed his place on the witness stand, and continued: The reply to Beocher'a letter for the do'eumntR was written in mv siuav on August o. do not remember who wrote the letter, but I firmed n. The letter was nroduced and banded to the witness, who xea 1 it care fully through. The witness identified U as the one written by him. Mr. Beach objected to the introduction of this letteras evldpnre. and n noted a Ion? extract from lesral authorltv in punoort of his ob said that he would oljfct to it or to any part of it which would lead to theintroducUon ot Mr. Beechcr'H letter. The counsel then read a letter declaring that his reason lor holding the pa

per was to prevent one party from iniur-

iously using the documents against him, and also that Tilton had been reiused access to these papers. The witness stated that what ever the rumors said the letter came through the newspapers and never came through him. The letter of August 4, ritten by Beecher to Moulton asking for tbo PAPERS AND DOCUMENTS in hla possession, was also read, stating that they bad been placed in bis custody for safe keeping, and that he (Beecher) did not ask for them as a means whereby he might hurt Tilton. Ex-Jadgs Porter, holding up paper, asked the witness if that was a correct transcript of the account of his firm with Tilton. The witness stated that it was a correct copy of the whole transac tion of Tilton with bia firm. The total debts in the account were $12,1)81, the credit total being tha same amount. The witness said that this was a correct statement so far as he knew. The account was offered in evidence by Ex-Judge Porter. The statement ot moneys received from the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and paid out by the witness were then offered in evidence, and read It appeared that from 1S71 to 1874 he had paid out to Mrs. Tilton, to Theodore Tilton, to the Rev A. M. lleade and the Rev. K. C. Beattie. sums ranging from to 1,000, which latter was given to Tilton in 1873. The total was ?3.07S. Tho witness continued: These items were taken from my account in the ledger. There were some currency sums which I received from B?ccber which I al most immediately paid out. I think th:s happened on two occasions, and of thoni I took no memorandum. I will produce ray edger Jn conrt to-rnorrow. There never was at any time an account between my firm and Mr. Baecher. and Iiis name onlv appeared on the firm's books when placed tb'rebv me personally. On one of these times ot which I took no memorandum I think THE AMOUNT WAS 300, and probably on the other occasion it might have been $500, as I think it was a lvgor sum on the last occasion. Tho 5,000 re ceived from Beecher did not enter Into the account. On one occasion Tilton deposited 3 4,500 in checks with my firm. I contrib uted $1,500 to the Golden Age and sub scribed $3,000. I do not remember what time I paid this contribution, but think it was in the spring or 1S7I. That year I paid it in cash. I lent Tilton $3,000, which was not all repaid. Tilton generally came to me wheti he wanted to draw mouey. On December 27, 1870, 1 saw Tilton, when be said he was going to Bee Bowen and ask him for his proois of Beecher's guilt. He sever con sulted me then about his relations with Uoweu, or about his probable dismission. do not remember if anything was proposed by me to be done. The next interview l rememDer with him was on December 3Uth. There never was any conversation between us at either of these interviews as to procuriue a statement from Bowen. At these interviews Tilton said be had no doubt tbit the charges preferred by Ii wen against Beecher were true. Tilton, prior to thi?, bad said that Beecher preached to his mistresses in Plymouth Church. This was in the latter part ot 1S70. Tilton did not give any of the names of these witnesses. I did not believe tbfa statement. My wife at that time attended the church, and she ceased to attend shortly after the facts ot the case be came known to her. uer name is sua on the roils of the church, we had a pew up to 1872, which I paid for. I never had been a regular attendant at Plymouth Church. I was there last on the evening of the report of the committee. I do not remember when I last attended divine worship there. Rob inson, my wife's uncle, attended the church. At this point the court adjourned for the day. M DULTON'S CROSS-EXAMINATION. THE INQUISITION COMMENCED BY JUDGE POR TER SOME EXAMPLES SHOWING THE THEORY OF THE DEFENSE THE BATTLE JUST BEQUN. The Brooklyn special to the Cincinnati Commercial, on the the lS'.h Inst., gives the following additional description of Moni ton's cross-examination not contained in the telegraphic account: It was 3 o'clock when Fnllertongot through with his witness, and at once ex-Judge Porter of Beecher's counsel arose, and began that cross-examination about which we have bad so many alarm Ing prophesies. This was Porter's first active werk in the case in court. Porter stands high among the tew men who have the highest reputation at the rvew York bar, and his friends have supposed he would tar outshine his confreres, even Evarts, both as a cross-examiner and a speaker. In fact. great expectations had been formed of him on all sides, and hence when he arose, the first sound of bis sepulchral voice was eagerly watched for. Mr. Porter, formerly judge rt the Court ot Appeals, is a man of 50, dark complexioned. square jawed, thick set, black haired and bespecta cled, with smau DiacK mustache, lie speaks slowly, 'clearly and impressively; looks cold ana KDaaanianinine, and vou at once suspect that Moulton has now fallen into the bands ot the most remorseless crosexaminer on the Beecher side, who understands every detail of the case, and is crammed full of legal learning. His first questions to the witness are simple ones about his age, residence and business; but he quickly plunges into the heart of then matter in a way which you will appreciate only when you get a verbatim report of the proceedings. He sought to show that Moulton, while professing to be the "mutual friend" of both parties, bad besq playing into his hands of Tilton from the first in all sorts of ways, and bad been placing false to Beecher at unexpected times. Some of the questions were startling, suggestive, and filled with indications as to the course of the defense, which is evidently to show that the prosecution have been grllty ot conspiracy, forgery, perjury and blackmail. For instance, when Moulton confessed that be bad told falsehoods under the pretext of helping Beecher the following dialogue ensued: Mr. Porter Did you consider it wroDg to lie for Mr. Beecher? Mr. Moulton No, sir. Mr. Porter Did you lie for him? Mr. Moulton Yes, sir. Again Porter addressed him A CLOSE SERIES OF QUESTIONS, to ascertain tbo exact date when his alleged friendship for Mr. Beecher began, and when it closed, and then having settled the precise time in both cases, he made a startling suggestion by bringing together several things in the correspondence with these dates. Thus: Mr. Porter Si your first friendship for Beecher was on that stormy night when you learned that ho bad debauched the wife of your most intimate frieDd? Mr. Moulton Yes, sir. Mr. Porter And you terminated your friendship whf n K?f eher sought from you the documents wuich be df-sired to prove his innocence of that charge? Mr. Moulton Yes, sf. The object of Mr. Porter was to involve Moulton in a maze of contradictions, and his questions with this intent were not only sharp and vigorous, but were delivered in a way intending to be peculiarly awe-inspiring and impressive. On the whole, I should say that if Moulton bas not truth at -bis back, and if he is not prepared to sustain the allegations he

has already made on the witness stand and

in print. Porter will be very sure to find it out before be I through with the cros-exmination. But we had only an hour of It to-day, and the work, which will be resumed to-morrow, was just began. Tbo rulings of the court to-day, on several points relative to the ad missibility of evidence, were In favor of the Tilton side. Elizabeth sat meekly In ber place all day, between her two lady com panions, contemplating Theodore's back hair his long, profuse, blonde locks. Moulton's testimony to-day, both direct and cross, was given in clear language, with a stroag voice and no less than his usual nonchalance. To-morrow bids fair to be a lively day, and Beecher will be on band. WANTED A PLACE. BOMB OF THE THINGS LEARNED WHILE LOOKING FOR A POSITION WORK AND WAGES. The Macoupin (111.) Enquirer gives the following Interesting personal experience: A few weeks ago we received a letter from a farmer In the northwest part of the county, desiring us to get a place for his son In one of our stores. The boy could read, write, and wa3 a fair mathematician. An inquiry who ever, reveaieu me iact mat piace-s were promised lor several years aneaa, in caserne, various proprietors should want anyone. Tl.e inquiry revealed the further fact that clerks are the poorest paid lot of people in the city. They are the poorest paid lor two reasons: 1. Thrre is so much competition that mer chants are not averaging 6 per cont. on the amount of money they handle, and conse quently must cut their expenses down to the lowest possible limit. 2. There are so many persons seeking em ployment in stores, that plenty can be touml who Will worg ianniuuv ieniau a counter for less than the fame ability and capacity would command in the workshop. This announcement led us to an investigation of some important facts, which we commend to our readers. There are more applications in Carlinville for clerkships in stores during the year than for pcsitioDS in all the shops and offices combined. There is growing up among the great majority of boys a feeling of repugnance to auy business except clerkehips in stores, the law, teaching, medicine and the ministry. The result is that the wages ot clerks are low, the teachers are getting poor salaries, the Supreme Court bus been compelled to adopt very stringent rules with regard to the admission ot new members to the bar, the country is filled with medical qüaeks, and the word of Gcd is expounded by many persons whose idea of theology consists of a rig salary and a fashionable congregation. Competent mechanics are getting scarce. A good carnenter, blacksmith, wagonmaker, plaster-painter, bricklayer, printer or a competent man in any of ibe other trades, as they are termed, can make from three to five dollars per day the year through, while there are not two ulerks in the city who are receiving A THOUSAND DOLLARS, and there is not a firm in the city which could afferd to pay any one connected with it that amount. The education for any ol the positions named in this paragraph need not be so thorough and expensive as that required for the persins named in ths pre ceding paragraph, yet tne former makes more than the latter and they make it be cause, thoogh there is a greater demand for good journeymen In the trades named, the supply is very limited as compared with the supply in the other cases. In our effort to get a place for the eon of our friend, we talked with the bead of one ot the firms of our city. We learned that tho highest wPTes paid to clerks of that establishment waU $50 per month. We expressed surprise and informed the gentleman the highest we paid was 1S per week or XZXi more per year than his clerk received. We asked him what he would do if his clerk should de mand the same salary our foreman received; he would let mm go where he would re ceive it. We suggested that by so doing be mieht lose some trade: he admitted that it would no doubt make a difference of $3,000 In their sales, "but" said he, "our profits on the 53.000 would not exceed J200; or we could not afford to pay the additional $330 tor the sake of saving 200. And then, it be were to leave we can supply bis place at much less wages than we are paying him and not lose more than the estimated 33,000 in trade." Upon further inquiry we found that other firms were like situated, and an inquiry at Springfield and St. Louis revealed no better state ot affairs. There are too many boys who are afraid of dirt they prefer some trade where .little muscle will be required, and where thev can wear a nice white shirt and a fashionable suit of clothes all the time. These things are all very nice, but they are all doing more than all else to degrde labor and centralize capital. Our reply to our friend is the ad vice we would give to all boys: Have him learn a trade if he wishes to leave the farm; if be will master it and become proficient, he can always make more than a living unless he is a worthless, extravagant spend thrift, which tew good mechanics are. He will be equally as much respected as if he spent his days in measuring tape, and at the end will have something left for his family. To the farmer's boys we would say: "Stick to dad." Get all the school book education you cau, but learn how to cultivate the soil; don't try to get into town, where you will learn to smoke cigars, play billiards, and drink gin cocktails they may be nice accomplish ments, but there is a good deal more manli ness and ultimate happiness in raising tur nips and buckwheat. A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. A YOUNG MAN CUT IN TWO BY A CIRCULAR SAW. The Lancaster, Pa., Express gives an instance of a deplorable accident: Our people were thrilled with horror this morning on learning that a young man had been literally sawed in half by a circular saw at the steam saw mill of Messrs. D. B. & II. II. Bartholomew, . South Prince street, this morning. The accident occurred at about 9 o'clock, and the victim was Charles Kitch, aged 17 years, son of D. Kitcb. sr., the late market master. It seems that he had gone to the mill to procure a bag of sawdust, for the purpose ot smoking meat. Going in the vicinity of two circular S3ws (52 inches in diameter each, and making G00 revolutions per minute) he was warned by Andy Smith, a lad of 14 years, to be caret uL He must have tripped on a chain connected with the machinery, which caused him to fall bis bag, which he carried on his shoulder, falling on one side of the saw, while his back struck it fairly. No one, saw the accident, and of course the manner ol its occurrence is only conjecture; but a single instant did the work. In that brief moment he was cut literally in half, from oneend.of is body to the other, and nothing remained but a bloody mas of quivering flesh to tell the story of his tearful death. His head was not injured at all, but his heart and entrails were exposed to vie v the right arm was severed at the shoulde 3 and two toes were cut from the left foot. The body was hurled about six feet away Jrom the sw, fallicg upon the face. The machinery was immediately stopped, nd Dr, Bilenius was sent for; but medical aid "was of no account, death having, of course, ensued instantly. Coroner Bair held an inquest, and a verdict of accidental death was rendered. The lather of the deceased has been very uufortunate recentlv, having lost biswifeand a grandchild within the past three month?, and now a son in the terrible manner above recited.

HIS EXPERIENCE BELATED BY H1MSSI.F WHAf 8AM WARD KNOWS OF THE ISrXVESCE 0? GOOD DINSERS A BCMPrUOUS DINNER MADK OF Pitt's FEET. The New York Sun's account of the Paciiic Mail investigation on the. 14th inst. gives the following version of the testimony elicited from a noted lobbyist of Washing ton: Sam Ward, famous for his grand entertainments and convivial qualities, was the most amusing and franklv spoken witness that has yet helped to enliven the pro ceedings of the committee. His testimony is as 10 110 ws : , By Mr. Kasson I suppose yoa were sum moned in consequence of your name having been associated m connection with tue d is tribution of money for the Pacific Mail sub sidy? A. I received a subpoena about an hour ago, particulars not specified. Q. Tberefoie the committee desires you to state bow much money you received in connection with the Pacifio Mail subsidy? A. I think it was after the first failure of the measure in the House that Mr. Eerret called at my rooms one afternoon and said that he had been requested to see if I would accept a retainer to help this subsidy along. I asked him how much, he said föOO, and $5,000 contingent on success. I said. "All right." Ho sent to me that , afternoon or next morning a check for 8500 signed by a gentleman I had nevr seen, Mr. H.H. Irwin. and someday8 afterward congress adjourned. I was agreeably waited upon by Mr. Bon tit, wno said to me, "They have cut ns down f 3.0C0 and there is $7,000 paid, shall wo insUt on more?" I baid, "No, let us take what we can get; it is all right." He banded me $3,500 in billa and I went to New York that same night. Q I suppose it is unnecessary to ask you if you retained all that sum and applied it to your own user A I did. I must nay that it was a very liberal compensation for the moderate amount of work which that subsidy seemed to require. WHAT SAM DID FOR HIS MONET. Q. State the nature of the services ren dercd by you. A. iipiy stating on all occasions, where it was proper to do so, that I was in lavor 01 me measure : mat 1 thought it a good measure. I bad a right to say that, because, as an old Californian, having sailed often on those steamers, I had a sort of friendship for them. I thought well of the line. I thought that it was a national un dertaking; that our ship-building was going to the dogs, and that, if these ships were to be built in this country, it would give an impetus to iron ship-building. I thought tbe subsidy to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company was a proper thing, particularly &s the Cunard Steamship company bad a suc sidy from the English government, and bad attained a colossal success. 1 wanted to tee the American flag flying again on the f as, and I would have helped the Pacific Mail Company without one penny of compensa tion. (. You used all your Influence to secure the passage ot the subsidy? A. Certainly. There was not much time to act; only a fortnight, I think. I was rather agreeably surprised at being retained, becauso that clinched my determination to do what I could for what I regarded as a great national enterprise. Q. Do you know of any other sum of money being paid to any parties for their services in procuring that subsidy? A. I never heard of and until I was surprised the other day by Mr. Abert's list, which I saw in the Star I never knew who was in the combination. I did not know that there was any combination, except that I found that people generally were very favorably inclined toward the bill. I did not know Mr. Abort; I bad never seen bim to my knowledge. I never saw Mr. Irwin till the day the vote was taken, when I saw a pale man standing around this corner and was told that it was Mr. Irwin; Q. My question was, if you knew of any other sum of money being paid, directly or indirectly, in connection with the subsidy? A. Not a penny. I might have been at liberty to suppose that the whole thing was confined to Mr. Berret and myself. Q. The $500 which you received was paid by check? A. Yes, payable to my order on the Metropolitan National Bank of this citv. Q. Do you know of any money being paid to any member, officer, or employe of either nouse 01 congress in connection witn that subsidy? A. No, sir. WHAT SAM KNOWS ABOUT LOBBYING. Mr. Beck I have heard It suggested that you had remarked that there was great difficulty in a gentleman living in Washington on the oxygen of the atmosphere, and that a gentleman was obliged to do something. Witness This business of lobbying, as it in called, is as precarious as fishing in the Hebrides. You get all ready ; your boats go out suddenly there comes a storm, and away you are driven. Everybody, who knows anything about Washington, know that ten times aye, fifty times more measures are lost than tre carried; but once in a while a pleasant little windfall ot this kind recompenses us, who are always toiling here, for ttie- disappoint menls of the session. I am not at all ashamed I do not say that I am proud, but I am not at all ashamed of the occupation. It is a very useful ono. In England it is a separate branch of the legal proiession. There they have parliamentary lawyers, who do no other business. There the committees fci: all day to hear these lawyers, and they sit in parliament all night; whereas here committees are only allowed to sit for an hour and a half, and so it is very hard to get through 4,000 bills in a session. The disappointments are much more numerous than tbe successes. I have had many a very pleasant 4,contiogent" knocked away ,

THE INFLUENCE OF GOOD DENN EPS. Thero is nothing in the world so excellent as entertainment of a refined order-. Laughter. Talleyrand says that diplomacy is assisted by good dinners, but at good dinners peoplo do not talk "shop," hut they give peoplo who have a taste in that way a right, perhaps, to aek a gentleman a civil question, and to get a civil answer to get iuformaticn which his clients want, and that can properly be given. Sometimes a railroad roan wants information: sometimes a patcnteo wants his patent renewed- that is a pretty hard figt't. Laughter. Then a broker wants to know what tbe treasury is going to do about a certain measure; sometimes a backer is anxious about the finanfial movements in congress, or a merchant about tbe tariff. All these things we do constantly, and we do not make any chargetor tbem. We keep up a certain circle of frien ;s, and ence in a while an opportunity comts cf getting something that iscfreal service, and for which compensation is due and proper. But the entertainments are proportioned to the business ol tho session. When the business is good so are tbe entertainmentu, and when the business is not good the entertainments are meager. Laughter. Mr. Irwiu told me a story ol a king of Spain who was lost In the woods with hts bnnting party, lie ordered one of his attendants to climb a tree and see if there was any building in sight. The man saw a chateau on the ton of an adjacent bill, and the king sail "Let us go there." They went and were received at the door of the chateau by the grandee with his head uncovered. The king announced who be was, and said tbe party wanted dinner. The family had dined an hour before, and the servants had consumed everything that was left. The cook waa sent for, and said his majesty would be served In an hour's time. Tney had a very pleasant dinner, and the king was rather surprised at tbe taste displayed in some of tbe dishes. After dinner, commending the excellence ot tbe repast, he -asked what it was composed of. Lnckily It was not Friday. The grandee sent for the cook, who came in and said: "Your majesty, no animal bas contributed its life to your dinner," and -he went to the window acd showed 52 pigs with their ears all cut off. "Said the king, 4SA man who can make such a repast as that from the ears of 52 pigs shall be made governor of a province." Laughter. Mr. Niblack Is there not a great deal of money wasted on good dinners? NO MONBT WASTED ON GOOD DINNERS. Witness I do not think money ia ever wasted on a good dinner. If a man dines badly he forgets to say bis prayers going to -to bed; but if be dines well be feels like a safnt. Laughter. The Chairman Were you aware Mr. Berret, in point of fact, had received 310,000 instead of 57,000? Witness No; I did not know anything about it until I saw it mentioned in tbe . papers. It is quite right; be probably did more work than I did. I was satisfied with what I got. Mr. Ward gave his testimony, or rather delivered bia humorous lecture, standing at the end of tbe table, with his eyes twinkling, his face beaming with good humor, and his whole person presenting evidence of his being not only in belief but in practice a disciple of the gospel of gastronomy. lie kept the members ot the committee and a numerous audience in constant laughter.
