Mr. Spaulding took a place upon the editor- lal staff of the Timet, under Henry J. Eay- mond, whose first assistant I then was; and there he shoved himself to be the boldest master Of political invective ever known on the Amcirioan *resa. To recruit his health, he made a voyage to New Orleans, but on an excursion up the Uluiaftippi hia boat met with ill luck, and he was oast on a deaerted bank of land where he almost starved to death. The flrst I knew of his return to New York was at a very late hoar of one ulght, when, being on duty in the editorial quarters of the Timet, a \whistle up the pipe\ from the publication office, and a message that Mr. Spaulding had mattered my mime, hurried me down stairs. I found him prostrated on his baok upon the stone flooring, evidently struck by paralysis, and entirely unconscious. In a few moment* ho caught my voioe, and began, stammering out Latin words, disjointed quotations from Virgin, Horaoe, and his other favorites au- thorn, occasionally pressing hin head with In, and broaking into a sort of wild laugh. It wns aftor midnight by the Oity Hall olook whon I left his side, hastened rtvtir to tho old New York Hospital, then in Uroudwny, rang up the young dootor in charge, who agreed to take him in, returned to tho Time* with a stretcher, called down four compositors, who lifted the prostrate ninri from the floor, and accompanied them buck to tho hcmpjtal, whore I saw him plaoed Bafoly upon a oot under a doctor's aharge. It wu« linlf an hour or the time for going to pr«m wh«m I got tmck to th« editor's sano- Inm, ojid if the editorial columns of next Iny'n Ti fticl,, tho roanon in now for the first t told. Th<)ii«h Mr. HpauliHng was over fifty ynnri old, he had !*<wm married but a few iiupiitris l)<rforfl, and in the morning I telo- Ifraphod to l)is young wife, thou in ono of \ towns up the Hudson Ulver, who apj: How k Yoan« Lawyc. fended »POIW»B«O W . Somewhere between the years 1840 and' 1845 the wife of a farmer of Hillsdale coon, ty, Mich., baked some biaoaite one Sanday morning, and then went to ohuroh, leaving her husband to take dinner alone. As he sat down to his meal, however, a young farm laborer came to the house and joined him at his repast; Eaoh ate of the newly baked bisouit, but quickly found them on- palatable, and put them aside. Neither one had eaten more than half a bisouit. Both were soon taken violently ill, and displayed strong symptoms of arsenical poisoning. The young man recovered from hit sioknesa after some days of Intense suffering, but the farmer lingered in a dying oondition for more than a year, and finally expired. Sixteen years before this time the farmer had married his wife for her money. She brought him #3,000. He purchased* farm with this amount, and in a few years became quite forehanded. His greatest enjoyment apparently was to annoy hia wife in every conceivable manner. His, favorite amuse- ment was to pull their little child out of bed in the night tnd beat it cruelly. They final- ly conoluded to obtain a divorce from eaoh other. The farmer agreed to give his wife a lien on his property for $l,OOQLfor the support of herself and her ohiRk^ The mortgage was made out and plaoed in a lawyer's hands to await the divorce. The wife, in consideration of the mortgage, signed a quit-olaim deed to all her husband's y ppe know that bea water natural^.

This young mab swore before the jury that he had analyzed iveral of the biscuits whioh the prisonejr made for the husband's eating and had found they contained arsenio. From his quantifa*- anolyBis he positively swore that the hu^ band had swallowed less than a grain of arser Die The ohemist further swore that a grain ojf rnonio was a deadly dose and that even loss light be fatal. ' ' There were no railroads in Michigan ai' that early day, and there was not anothej ohemist nearer than Chicago. Mr. Van Ar-j man, who had studied chemistry in hij youth, and had even delivered lectures' OE! the subject, plainly saw that the French- \ lan's testimony was wofully inoorreot. Mr. r an Arman oontended before the jury that grain of arsenio was only a medicinal dose, and that the defendant's husband,! therefore, must have beoome fatally ill! some other agenoy than poison in aits. He could produoe no expert taJLimony to substantiate bis theory, be-'; cnuso no exports were within reaoh. Know- j lug that a grain of arsenio would not sen- j ously ofTeot the human ayHtem, he oaused a ibor ot biscuits to be baked by a physi- ilau of tho town, each of them containing a iin of tho deadly nubsUnoe. Fortunate- y for his oliont there wqa) none of the origi- ual poisoned blsouits to be had, and the ry could not murmur agaiust the substitu- tion of now one*. Having proved by the physioi&ns who mad* them that the bUuniU were properly poisoned, Mr. Van Annan, near the begin- ning of bis closing argument, graoefally at* one of tham before tha jury and oontinued to*ddreaa them. Ha remained In tight for several hours, and took pains to ahow tham thai h# swallowed no antidote. The grain ot arsenio prodaosd no 111 effects on him. the protoouUng lawyer oould not argot >way ths plain faot of tha harmless though potson*fl biscuit which the Jury had seen •aten. Whin th« oaae waa given to tham they very properly acquitted tha prisoner. Th. trhth regarding the bUoolta of whlob UM farmer partook was that they' contained four or five times as muoh arsenio aa ths, young ohemiat ewora they did.-i Him*. buoy them up; if lean, th°ey sink I THE FIRST HORSE \ In 1831,\ said John Stephihmn, th. veteran buUder of horse oars, and built the first tram-oar of the] first \rail- way for Btreet service in this Aoontry or abroad.

The company for whiih it waa built was called ' the New York ft Harlem Boad,' running from Frinoe stre it, on the Bowery, along the line of the Jowery I to Fourteenth street, thenoe the li is of the Fourth avenue to Yorkville anji Harlem. Fourth avenue at that time 1 opened, but the line had been siirveyed'ia 1810.
