managed, after much careful im»*
neuvering,to so confuse the wit

obtain to his question was ‘I don’t
recollect.”
Then the lawyer had had this
answer returned to him a score or
so of times, his patience gave out.
“Tell me, Mr. J.” he exclaimed
with biting sarcasm, “do you ever
remember anything ?”
*‘I can,” was the response.
“Can you carry your memory

“Yes, I think I can,” returned
the witness, who had Raided some

day with his Wife Mad two remain
ing daughters. The delay was
fatal. Before morning; Mollie; a
lovely maiden,who had been nurs
ing a sick friend, was delirous,and
in a few days was dead. Bcarcely
had the bereaved parents pressed
a farewell kiss on the oold lips of
their dead daughter, tiefofC the
second daughter Was battling with
thfi fever. . It was then that the
sorrowing father wrote to his sis

girl. “Tney are all dead but me.

died, but 1 was too sick to kiss
theft good-by. I am better, and
have a kind nttrse; but oh, So few

and follow th6‘Others yet.” It was
many weeks before the sick girl
could be taken from the plague-
stricken town into the country
where her brother and sisters were.
Then one of them wrote to the ed
itor of the New Oileaos Picayune:
“Ora Iulh come out to rrs, hut 'so
