The Cincin- nati lawyer was appointed for his 'local influence,' These reasons did not re- move the slight conveyed in the employ- ment without consultation with him of this additional counsel. He keenly felt it, but acquiesced. The trial of the case came on. The counsel for defea>e met each morning fur consultation* \On one of these Oceanian* one of the counsel moved that only two of them should speak in the ca*e. This matter was also acquiesced in. It had always been understood that Mr. Harding wa* to speak to explain the ruechaijiaui of the reaper*. 8n this motion excluded either Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Stanton— which? By the custom of the bar, as be- tween counsel of equal standing and in the absence of any action of the client the original counsel speaks. By this rule Mr. Lincoln had precedence. Mr. Stan- ton suggested to Mr. Lincoln to make the speech. Mr. Lincoln answered, \No you apeak. * Mr. Stanton replied, 'I will,' and taking up his hat said he would go and make preparation. Mr. Lincoln acquiesoed in this, but was greatly grieved and mortified. He took but little more interest in the case, though remaining until the conclusion of the trial He seemed to be greatly depressed and gave evidence of that tendency to melancholy which so mark- ed his character. HU parting on leaving the city cannot be forgotten. Cordially shaking the hand of his hostess, he amid: 'Ton hare made my stay here moat and I an a thousand times to yon, bot i a reply to yonr re- quest for me to come again I must say to yon I never expect to be in Cincin- nati again.

On his return to Springfield he wa* aomewhat reticent regarding the trial, and, contrary to his custom, communi- cated to his associates at tb* bar but few of its incidents.

And it la a queer looking patch, this rO acres. The doctor has simply made a clearing in the woods, and as the visitor emerges from tne trees into the open fpace he, sees what is apparently a kunted peach orchard. only the le*ve« are too small and of a very dark green. On a closer examine non the leaves reeemble those on cur- rant bnahes. thatch Lhey grow on stalks thick enough for tree brunches. 8oxoe plants are a« high as the waist and kome nearly a* high a* the head. Plant- ed at regular interval* and in rows with branches carefully pruned, they re**m ble aa orchard of small fruit trees, with the branches forking like peaches. Bnt it it not an orchard. It is a garden similar to thousands in China and other Asiatic eountriaa. It is a genuine tea garden. To those who have seen the cheap print* and china representations of tea bushes growing on mountain sides these straight row« along the fiat ground have an uufTuniliar look, but it is the cli- mate, and nut so much the \lay of the land,\ that fo*ter* them. Right in this Carolina furest the temperature happens to be the be*t in the country for tea j growing.

The shrubs grow six feet apart as they require a large amount of nourish- ment and exhaust a large area of ground Shingles or straw are placed over the plants when the-first shoots appear, and every care is taken to protect them from frost until they have reached a height of two or three feet, when they become fairly hardy and can withstand usually the changes of temperature which occur during the year. The shrubs can be grown by grafting, but are leas hardy than if raised by the seeding process. When the shrub is about three feet high, the harvesting of the tea begins, and this ia perhaps the most interesting stage of all Armed with a sharp knife, the fieldhand outs off in May about half of the leave* and smaller branchea If the growth has been healthy, the ehrub throws out a new foliage of leaves at onea These are the tea leaves of com- merce.

A coloasal sea wall is first to lie bu:Jt from North Holland to Friealand, shutting out the tides of the ocean.

It ia calculated that within tan yean 15.000 acres can be made annually available and in the end the inland aea will be reduced to a chan- nel about 15 miles wide called the Yssshnner, communicating with the aea by locfci at Wkringen, with Amster- dam by a branch three miles wide and by another with the mouth of the Tasel The plan hat received the anne- xion of the government, and the engi- neers pronounce it f eaeible, -OUlwnukee Journal .... - -. . r ..,.-,- CHtNMt performed by s Chinese: the conjurer asked the specta- tors what they wanted to ace, some one sailed for a pumpkin. \A pumpMsr'answered the conjur- er - \that is impossible.

Then, having made his little son, 4 or 0 years old, he down, he thrust a knife into his throat The blood poured out into a vessel end with it the man moistened the spot where the seed had been planted Next he covered the corpse with a cloth and placed a wooden bell over the seed In a few moments a sprout was seen rising from the soil It grew and grew and burst into flower.
