"The clearest case I ever knew in my life," said another. And all agreed that the guilt of the {;isoner was abundantly proved; that e defence would be a mere form; and that his conviection and execution were as certain as any future events could possibly be. The crowd immediately dispersed, comâ€" menting, as they went out, upon the Deiiht of the evidence and the prospects of the prisoner. Dr. Clark was then called to the stand and examined as to the condition of the body when found, the neture of the wound, ete. And with the econciusion of his testimony, the evidence for the Crown eclosed. And the court adjourned until nmne o‘clock the next day. _ mediately fell back and expired." "Did the deceased mention the prisâ€" oner by name?" inquired the counsel for the Crown. "Not onee." "Did the deceased appear collected and selfâ€"possessed when making this dying declaration ?" "No, he seemed wild and distracted." This witness was now subjected to a gevere crossâ€"examination, which failed to o shake his very important evidence. The other domestics were all examined in turn, and all corroborated the testiâ€" mony of the butler as to the position in which the deceased and the prisoner were found on the occasion of the disâ€" eovery of the murder, as well as the tesâ€" timony of Sir Ruthven and 1ady Lester in regard to the enmity that had existed between the tutor and the late baronet. "I said, ‘In the name of heaven, what is all this? "‘He has murdered meâ€"he, he, thd wretch!‘ exclaimed my master, who imâ€" mwst 1ew weess the staie of enmity beâ€" twoen the prisoner and the deceased. On the night of the murder, I was sitting up late in my office, adjoining the pantry, engaged in making up my accounts, when, it might be about two o‘clock in the morning, 1 was startled by the cries of ‘murder! murder! nuaurder! raurdâ€"â€"‘ four times, only the fourth time the word seemed strangled in the throat of the one that cried, and then followed a deep, ominous silence. 1 threw down my pen, and rushed upstairs, toward my master‘s room, whence those criey seemâ€" ed to have proceeded: I burst open the door, and found my master, wounded and dying, yet grappling with a deathâ€" grip the collar of the prisoner, who stood over him with a bloodâ€"stained, dripping dagger in his hand. As soon as my master saw me he exclaimed, feebly : "Seize him! Seize him! He has murâ€" dered me, the villain!" "And by this time the chamber was filled with my fellowâ€"servants, who had been roused by the cry of muurder, and hurried to the spot as quickly as they could ’P":f from their beds and throw on their clothes. Watson, the butler, was now called to the stand. Again there was a lifting of all heads and craning of all nmeeks to get sight of this important witness, who was «nost interesting as the first discoverer of the murder. Being regularly sworn, he said : "My name is John Watson. 1 have lived as butler in the service of the deâ€" eeased for the last twenty years. I know the prisoner at the bar, who has been tutor at Lester House for the last twelve morths. I had observed for the last few weeks the state of enmity beâ€" twoen the prisoner and the deceased. On the night of the murder, I was sitting up While this witness was being examâ€" ined Laura had contrived to move nearer to Cassinove, and now sat at the corner of the doek, where she might easily conâ€" verse with the prisoner, for she knew what was next coming, and wished to be beside him to comfgon him by word and look. Ihe next witness called was Soper, the valet of the late baronet. He testified that on the evening preceding the murder the deceased had come down from the school room in a great passion, saying that Cassinove had deeply offended him, and should not remain in the house anâ€" other twentyâ€"four hours; witness attendâ€" ed deceased to his chamber, and waited on him until he got into bed, when he said: "If I live urtil morning, I will turn that fellow out of doors." Witness then closed and secured the window shutters, so that no one from without could possibly enter the room, and left his master to repose. That was the last time he saw deceased alive. Crossâ€"examination elicited no further testimony, and Soper was directed to withdraw. "Very well, then be good enough to leave the room," said Laura, in a calm, commanding tone, that enforced obediâ€" ence even from that stolid creature. "Well, then and it may be a real diâ€" ment for what I know; but, even so, how did you come by it. Them as wisits jailbirds is to be suspicioned; and _ I never received no stolen goods in ° my life." * The promptitude with which Lanca ofâ€" fered the ring excited the suspicions of the woman, who, like all vulgar natures, piqued herself upon being sharp. "No, I‘ll not take it; it may be & piece of glass set in brass for what I }now, and not worth twopence." »For answer Laura held the ring cut, turning it about in the morning si.nâ€" light until it burned and flashed wntil the living rays of light leaped from its centre. ed it to the woman saying. "Here, take it and keep it as secur ity until I pay you, only bring me the coffee."" ~â€" At another time Laura, for the sake of the giver, would have hesitated to part with the gift; but now time pressed, she had great need to take refreshment and proceed at once to the prison to _ comfort _ Cassinove. So _ she drew the ring from her finger and handâ€" ed it to the woman saving. "I‘ll not do it until you pays for what you has had.‘ "I have not a penny in the houseâ€"â€"*" "Then you‘ve no business to be in the house yourself. But them as wears diment rings ain‘t no _ call to want money," said the woman, fixing her pigâ€" gish eyes upon the brilliant that the young duchess had given Laura as a wedâ€" ding ring. "I will certainly pay you for all if you will be kind enough to bring me the eoffee." "You‘d better pay for wha had before you ask for more." The landlady enteredâ€"a tall, stout, vulgar woman, with a red face, bloated cheeks, and small, watery eyes. She enâ€" tered with a swaggering walk and an inâ€" solent air, demanding harshly: "What do you want?" "A cup of coffee, if you please," anâ€" swered Laura, with a low voice and averted face. These later bitter sorrows, that had so erushed Laura‘s heart, had discrowned her of much of that queenliness of spirit and of manmner that had once commanded homage from all who approached her. Perhaps, also, Mrs, Brown was much too obtuse to be impressed by anything more subtle than material agency. Be that as it may, since Laura had fallen into arâ€" rears for her lodgings, she had suffered much from the coarse insolence of her landlady, and hence she shivered with apâ€" prebension when she rang the bell that was to bring this animal to her presence, There are some creatures bearing the human form, yet so much lower in naâ€" ture than the lowest animal, that "it were base flattery to call them brutes. Of such was Laura‘s landlady, with whom she dreaded coming in contact, as a refined _ and sensitive nature must dread collision with a thoroughly coarse and vulgar one. She arose, but found herself so feeble as to be near falling again. With a great effort, she bathed her face, smoothed her hair and arranged her disordered dress. And then she sank down in her chair. Some refreshments were _ absolutely necessary to sustain nature through the coming hours. After some painful hesiâ€" tation, she rang her bell, knowing very well that her landlady, who was also maidâ€"ofâ€"all work to her lodgers, would answer it. She passed the night in paroxysms of grief, alternating with fits of prostration and stupor that were _ rather nature‘s swooning than healthful sleep. Near morning, after a paroxysm more violent than any preceding one, she fell into a stupor deeper than usual, so that ot was late in the morning when she awoke from this last swoon or sleepâ€"from deep unconsciousness to sudden and piercing realization of all the misery of her situaâ€" tion. . But the necessity of selfâ€"control and selfâ€"exertion was imminent. She felt that she must go to the prison, and, hopeless and comfortless herself, speak words of hope and comfort to her husâ€" band. Thus Laura was aione in her anguish; nor would she have had it otherwise, while Cassinove was alone in his prison cell. There was none to comfort her; no kind hand to bring her a refreshing cup of tea, to restore fainting nature; no kind voice to whisper a word of hope to revive failing courage. She was utâ€" terly alone in her anguish. Could Rose have known this she would have left her luxurious palace and come and brought Laura away from these miserable lodgâ€" ings, or else remained to console her in them. _ But the young duchess had only seen Laura abroad, or at the prison, elothed in her decent mourning, and could not guess at the miserable poverty, want and loneliness into which her gifted friend had fallen. Neither food nor drink had passed her lips that day; body as well as mind was utterly exhausted. gates, and returned to her lodgings. And as soon as she had entered her chamber and closed the door, she threw herself upon the bed and gave way, in flood of tears, to the pentâ€"up agony of the whole day. j for what you has alleged enmity, therefore .existed on! in the opinions of those who had tesJ- fled concerning it. And, finally, Mr. Cassinove‘s whole life, from childhood This advocate was young, ardent, enâ€" thusiastic, eloquent, and armed with perâ€" fect faith in the inrocence of his client and the consequent justice of Ins cause,. He began by reviewing the addore«s of The crier callod silence in the court, and Mr. Fulmer, the junior counsel for the prisoner, arose to open the defense. As before, Cassinove was placed in the dock, where he stood pale, firm and calm above the crowd of faces turned up to him in morbid curiosity or eruel vindieâ€" tiveness. He looked before him toward the bench, and saw that the brow of the judge was stern; toward the juryâ€"box, where the faces of the jurors were vory grave; he glanced to the right, where the witnesses for the defense seemed sorâ€" rowful and despondent; to the left, where those for the prosecution appearâ€" ed confident and vindictive, And then from all these bloodthirsty or despairâ€" ing faces his eyes turned for rest and comfort upon the beautiful, pale brow of his devoted wife, as she sat clos» to the dock. sustained by the proximity of the venerable Dr. Clark. "As I am to be examined toâ€"day for the defense, my dear. I may sit beside you, and take care of you," said the good old dector, as he supported Laura toâ€" ward the upper end of the court. They found the space in front of the courthouse thronged with people, who were trying in vain to press into the building. Dr. Clark greeted Laura and Cashinove with great kindness . And then, as it was near nine o‘clock, the party set out for the sessionâ€"house, _ The prisonrer walked between the two officers, and Laura leaned upon the arm of her venerâ€" able friend, as on the preceding day. . He pressed a kiss upon her brow, and then opened the door to admit Dr. Clark and the officers who had come to conâ€" duct him to the court house. "Firm as a rock and true as steel! Never doubt me," replied Laura, ceurâ€" ageously ,although her heart was secretâ€" ly breaking. "Well, dear love, very well," said Cas sinove, assuming a more, cheerful coun tenance than his sad heart warranted "And you, Laura." "I slept until quite late this morning," she said, ‘evasively, smiling in his face. "That is right. _ Toâ€"day, dear love, must decide my fate. Can my true wile be firm *" "How did you pass the night" inâ€" quireiLauru. affectionately, sitting down besid® him on the cot. Without removing her bonnet, Laura hastily drank a cup of" coffee, ate a morsel of bread and then, feeling someâ€" what refreshed, put the mask of a cheerâ€" ful countenance over _ her _ sorrowful heart, and groceeded to the prison. She reached the cell a little before the hour that the prisoner was to be conveyed to the court. The governor was with him, but retired as son as his wife appeared, leaving the unhappy young couple the solace of a few moments‘ private conâ€" ference. _ Laura left the shop, returned to her lodgings and rang again for the landâ€" lady. That animal sulkily made her apâ€" pearance. "How much do I owe you?" inquired Laura. "Twoâ€"pun ten, and I reckon you‘ll nevâ€" er owe me less," said the woman, insolâ€" ently." "Here are three pounds. Bring me the change and my coffee immediately." The woman obeyed and soon set before her lodger a comfortable breakfast. Issacher immediately handed her the money and a ticket and eagerly took and locked up the ring, which he hoped would yet revert to himself. "CGive me the money and a receipt for the ring so that I may redeem it as soon as I can." The ring was worth an hundred guinâ€" eas at least, but Laura was far too much oppressed with trouble to chaffer with the fellow, so she said: "Very well; name the sum that you are willing to advance upon it." "Fh, mine tear shole, monish is very scarsh. I will advance five pounds on it." "Eh, mine tear, it ish not wort sho mush, either, now I lookeh at it," said Issacher, recovering his composure and craftiness. "No, only to pledge it. H you advance me upon it?" "No matter, so that it have a right to part with "Do you want to shell it?" asked the pawnbroker, with difficulty concealing hig__gagengess. s "Eh, mine shole, vere did you get dish?" exclaimed old Issacher, pouncing upon the jewel and glaring upor it with ravenous eves. "How much will you give me for this ring?" said Laura, advancing and laying it upon the counter. Laura tht put on her mantle and bonnet and thnOugh very feeble, went downstairs and walked the short disâ€" tance to Giltspur street, where she reâ€" membered to have g¢en a pawnbroker‘s shop, kept by one f.gphar. The _ rude speech of the landlady kd done her this serviceâ€"it had suggestal the means of relieving her present necessities, that would never else have presentad itself to her mind, At another time she might have grieved to part with her ring, and blushed to enter ‘a pawnbroker‘s shop, but now heavier sorrows and keener anxâ€" ieties absorbed her whole soul.

What the boy had to say was not much, and yet it made a very great imâ€" pression, for he spoke with a fervent, earnest, loving faith in the prisoner‘s inâ€" nocence, and his unvarying kindness toâ€" ward every creature, and he gave many instances of that kindness. Many other witnesses corroborated the statement of the clergyman and the physician, among whom _ was Colonel Hastings, who gave his testimony with an earnestness and even solemmnity that made a great impression. Dr. Clark, the next witness, corroborâ€" ated the testimony of his predecessor as to the excellence of the prisoner‘s mor®A character, and also to his appearance and manner on the night of the murder, which, witness said, were not those of a guilty man. He withdrew from the stand amid murmurs of surprise from the spectators, whom his evidence had seriously impress» ed &n favor of the prisoner. The venerable pastor advanced, and. being duly sworn, testified that he had known Fordinand Cassinove, the prisonâ€" er, from his infancy up to the present moment, and had always known him as distinguished for perfect integrity, pure conscientiousness, and, above all, for a fervent benevolence that had often movâ€" ed, him to acts of great selfâ€"sacrifice to save others from even trifling sufferings. And here the venerable pastor related several instances in which he had seen those qualitiese of conscientiousness and benevolence severely tested and brightly illustrated. Merely to show the line of defense, I have given this sketch of the advoâ€" cate‘s opening speech â€" a _ skeleton that _ he _ filled out and _ clothâ€" ed with all the wealth of his legal acumen, and all the richness of his burning eloquence.

And he hoped and believed that the jury, after hearing this testimony, would acquit the prisoner before leaving their seats. For, in view of Mr. Casâ€" sinove‘s irreproachable character, the slight foundation of the charge brought against him and the strength of his cause, he would venture to claim for his client not only an honorable acquital but a triumphant vindication! PALE AS A CORPSE. Hector Macdonald Memoria! (To be on the subject of the have existed between the prisoncr, the boy continued.) wum'tie effort is now being made in California to stamp out this disease, The blight is usually first noticed in the spring on bearing trees, when flowâ€" ers and flower clusters which have been blighted wither and do not set fruit. Soon the fruit spurs are noticcably afâ€" ‘fected and also the new wood. The disâ€" ease, starting at the tip of the shoots, usually runs down, although it will run in every direction, sometimes passing on to the main branches and to the trunk of the tree. The disease varies in the way it spreads. Sometimes only the flowers are affected, or the fruit spurs or smallâ€" er twigs, or patches about a place on the branches or trunk that have some pbhysiological injury. The germs are found in a gummy substance or exudaâ€" tion, and this is carried by the insects from one flower or tree to another. These bacteria increase very rapidly by vision, and once the tree is infected the disease may soon spread over a large area. As has been stated, the best method known of controlling this blight is by cutting out the diseased parts. To do this thoroughly it is necessary to begin in the winter, going over the orâ€" chard several times to be sure that all the disessed wood has been observed. This should be followed up in the spring and summer, and everything showing a sign of the blight should be cut out, not less than six inches below the afâ€" fected part, or into healthy wood. Where possible, it is wise to cut as much as a foot below where there is evidence of the disease. It has been proved by exâ€" fiel:iment that infection is carried on the nife or saw, especially in summer, hence after each braunch is cut the knife should be disinfected. The disinfectant recomâ€" mended by Professor M. B. Waite, who has given this disease very careful study and who is confident that it can be conâ€" trolled by taking proper care in pruning and doing the work systematically and thoroughly, is "A solution of corrosive sublimate in water; one part to one thouâ€" sand. Tablets may be obtained from the drug store, which are of convenient size for making the solution. A sponge is carried with which to apply the disinfecâ€" tant. Corrosive sublimate is a deadly poison, hence should be labelled "Poiâ€" son." It should not be carried in a metal receptable. The objection to a carbolic acid solution in water is that it must be made very strong to be effective. which has recently ‘déained a foothold there. The method adopted is to cut out affeeted branches and burn them. Where Spraying with bordeaux mixture has no apparent effect upon it, but it is beâ€" leved that the lime and sulphur wash forming a coating over the bark preâ€" vents to some extent the entrance of the blight germ. The bacillusor germ of the Pear or Fire Blight finds its way into the tree at the tenderest and least protected points, and it is believed by those who have made a careful study of it that practically all the infection is done by insects or birds, and that the disease is not carried to any extent by wind. Inâ€" sects carrying infection travel to the tips of suceulent shoots and the germs find entrance through the buds at the axils of leaves, and at any point where the bark is broken. The chief sources of infection of bearing trees is through the flowers, to which come insects bearing the disâ€" Some varieties of pears are less subâ€" ject to blight than others, among these are: Anjou, Kieffer, Seckel, Duchess, Wirter Nelis, and Tyson, while the Bartlett and Clapp are two of those which are most subject to it. It may then be desirable to plant the varieties which are least subject to this disease. Another plan would be to top graft the more susceptible varietiee on the more resistent kinds, as the chances of the whole tree being destroyed _ would be considerably lessenel. The fire blight, which affects apple trees is t‘e same as this disease. f n is important to keep suckers or water sprouts removed, as these may carry inâ€" fection to the main trunk and the tree be destroyed. Fruit spurs should not be left near the junction of the branches with the main trunk, as if these are afâ€" fected the discase may get to the main trurk. which will, as far as possible, lessen the injury, in addition to the method just pointed out. By training pear trees so that the top will be made up of several large branches in what is known as the vase form, the chances of serious inâ€" jury are lessened, as one branch may be affected and not the othars, and if the diseased branch is removed the tree may be saved. If, however, the tree is of pyramidal shape, and infection takes place in the leader, the disease may run down the main trunk and the tree be destroyed. In addition to having atree with a vaseâ€"shaped or branching top, it if down to some cover crop, as by this plan sufficient growth might be made to ensure good sized fruit and the growth of the tree would be checked by the exâ€" haustion of moisture by the growing known to injure fruit trees for more than one hundred years, and it is likely to continue to do so, hence some method of growing the trees should be adopted take some time be@fore they have reâ€" gained a symmetrical shape. ‘The pear blight is a bactertal disease and is one of the most difficult to control. ‘The only sure way of controlling it is to reâ€" move every diseased tree or bramch from the orchard, and if the trunk is affectel to remove all diseased parts. It will be readily seen tham the work is done in a very and systematiic manner it is practically imâ€" possible to cope with the disease. As a general rule, trees which are growing rapidly are worse affected, the sappy wood being very susceptible to the disâ€" ease, hence any system of culture that will cause a healthy, but not strong, growth is to be preferred. It is rather difficult to grow good pears in sod im the pear districts, otherwise the orchâ€" ards might be let grow in grass, which would check the growth and render the trees more immune. A better plan might be to loosen the ground in the «pring by harrowing or cultivating and then seed cover crop. This disease has been (By W. T. Macoun.)

In fact, nut trees can pretty safeâ€" ly be planted (unless there is danger from animals to the young trees) by making a hole three or four inches deep with a pointed stick or iron tool, and placing in the hole three or four nuts. Evergreon (or coniferous) trees can be easily handled at twice the age given for breadleaved seedlinge, because the coniferous trees are of much â€" slower growth and do not form their roots nearly as rapidly as broadleaved trees. There are several reasons why such small trees are nused. Very prominent among these is the question of cheapness in raising, handling and transporting the geedling trees, It goes without saying, for instance, that it will be cheaper to have ground occupied by seedlings only two years and then have it free for anâ€" other lot of scedlings, rather than to keep these lot of seedlings over for a year or two more and have them occupy ground that might be used meanwhile in raising more seedlings. There is also sayâ€" ed the cost of transplanting which would be necessary if proper care were taken of older seedlings. .
