to uuve excluded, was shown Sister

these baa been presented to her by

'Not very good for facts, but lor names,
yes," was the answer.
Can you uositivelv sav that Mi s
Pollard was a patient at the Norwood

charge?"
I cannot, sir.
"Can yon positively saylhat she was
ot a patient at the nsvlum duritnj tlmt

"No, sii."
"Now, Sister Cecilia. Slate the i rounds
for that belief."
I object." said Butterworth: mill
then followed another legal tilt over the
admissibility ol the ii'itstion involving

Judge llradley held that il the question

lucstion wns overruled, and the olaintilV
noted an objection.
men Air. Carlisle asked il the sister
could state anything about the identity
of the plaintiff with the patient in the
months of May, June uud July, 1S.S5.
Shelby objected, and the question was
withdrawn. Sister Cerlia iii-answcr to
questions by Carlisle, then stated that
there were two ladies in the usylum who
went veiled because they Icareil being
recognized by visitors. Curlislc then
asked if she ever sent auv patients back
to Cincinnati in carriages.
"Yts, three or four," wus the answer
The spectators and jurymen became
intensely interested at this time, for
tbey understood that every point in the
description of the nsvlum given to
bcr counsel by Miss Pollard, wns being
put forwurd for identification by the wit
ness. In answer to other questions
Sister Cecilia said the name llerg wvue or
Burgoyue was on the record ol Nor
wood nsylum us a patient there.
Major Uutterworth asked Sister
Cecilia a question or two about when
she kit Cincinnati, and said she might be
needed in a day or two to answer more
questions. Sister Cecilia said she would
remain in Washington until court was
through with her, and was then excused.!
Carlisle then rend the desposition ol
Mrs. Kate Perry Kun, a plusicianol
Cincinnati and member of the linn
of which Dr. Uelle ltuchanaii
Lenoir is one. Mrs. Kane recognized
Miss Pollard as the young woman who
came to the bouse of Drs. Perrv and
Ilucknnnn in 18S5 and was known as
Miss Louise Wilson. It wns understood
that Miss Wilson was recovering from
coulincment. At one time Miss Wilton
had gone to meet her betrayer, and
when she returned told the deponent
she bud met the man. but it wns impos
sible to marry him. Sheloathed him she
said. Miss Wilson said the man had
offered to marry her to clear things up,
hut she disliked him so that she refused.
This was important in view of the effort
the defense wns making to show that
Breckinridge did not ruin Miss Pollard.
He was a married man in 1S85 while
Miss Wilson, whom the deponent said
wns Miss Pollard, had suid her betrayer
offtrcd to mnrry bcr.

That all scales do not weigh alike,

Samuel Burleson, who lives on Ivy, and
who yesterday brought eight dressed
hogs to Asheville. The young man had
contracted with Wclntire & Sherman.

Sherman weighed them the beam went
up at s pounds, a loss ol CL' pounds,
When the hogs had been weighed the

Manager U. V. McKissick of the Bat

Gridiron club in Washington bearing the
legend, "The Pride of I'attcry Tark."
The canvas is an artist's sketch of the

the host with checks the roseate hue of
an Italian sunset; he is clad in the apron
and cup of a chef, and stands guard in a
battery whose cannon are champagne
bottles from which the corks and lizz
make missiles and streaks as they volley
at imaginary fojt. The cartoon has
been hung in the bachelor apartments of
Mr. McKissick and will I crcaflcr share
honors with the many objects ol interest

Among the keepsakes and curios that
have a hiatory are a sword voted Mr.
McKissick at a fair in Charleston in
1S88; two fine specimens of taxidermy,
a red headed woodpecker and an owl; a
copy of the original ordinance of seces
sion with autograph signatures; an
artist's proof of actor Charles Kean; the
twisting millers of Rocky mountain
sheep and and an Indian pot, the lind of
Tench Coxe at Green River.
The collection of bric-a-brac in the den
has lately been enriched with a pair of
Revolutionary relics from the homestead
of a South Carolina ancestor. The
articles are a dirk with deer loot

to lit oil the wearer's hip, and is covered
with coarse canvas, the corner strap i? a

per, cut from a knot of persimmon, is
fastened to the rim ol the llask by a buck
skin whang. The dagger and canteen
swing from the resting hooks of a heavy
rillc, curiously inlaid with silver orna
