Rise up, even you Prussians, or all men, who have seen us so often,alas! atSedafi, Coulmiers, and other places—come to this bar and say if ever the French soldier, whether conquered or conquering, was wanting in loyalty or generosity towards his enemy !' " Outbursts of this sort were invariably followed by enthusiastic applause from the audience. When Monsieur Chevrieu hnd stated that he had seen one of the accused at the execution, and a question of disputed identity arose, our prosecutor was agnin equal to the occasion. " What!'* said this fervid orator, "when a witness like this inspector of the Lyceum—a man who refused the noble offer made him By one of the missionaries to take his place: a man fostered in a university, and with a past history worthy of being compared to the most splendid achievements of Greek and Roman history—when a man like this steps on this platform and says, ' I recognize him. he was there. I saw liitn from my cell,' I defy any mortal to have the least doubt ot his sincerity." This was very well in its way, though,unfortunately, wholly beside the question, which was whether this witness might not have been mistaken. AnCT very awkwardly for the eloquence of the prosecutor it turned out that he wm mistaken. One of the most excit'ng and dramatic episodes that ever occured during a trial was connected with this incident, and is worth recording in this place. ery one spoke. To have brought liirn forward it was felt would have cleared a great deal up : but it wa« believed that he had been shot by the soldiers, To the surprise of every one he turned up at this moment. The trial was suspended. Gen ton must h ive turned pa!e as I13 saw him appear, for this man was to seal hit doom He told his story with an extraordinary fullness of detail, and a natural manner that recommended its truth to all. The leader of the band, he said, was a man called Sicard; there were two in command, the other was, of course, Yerig. Piirerre was ordered to stand forward. "That's not the man who commanded. Oh ! no, it is not he at all f" This was so far satisfactory; and on that evening a diligent search being made it was discorcovered that there wis a dying man named ?ieard ih the prisons of Paris. He was carried into cocrt; he could hardly speak and it was plain that he had only a fewdays to live. As he was placed in a chair, every one remarked a strange likeness to Pigerre. His evidence.was not much to the purpose,- for he, of course, denied that he himself was &t the execution; but still he declared that Pigerre wa9 not the man. Jarrtfud was tjlien called in, and, after looking at Sicard closely, declared that he was the leader. And the truth of this assertion was more than confirmed by a little incident. All through the trial it had been stated that the leader ot the party, whoever he was, had come without a sword, and had borrowed one, so as to give the word of command with due effect. The dying witness, not knowing this, answered, unconscious of the effect, that he had no sword that day. Finally, the witnesses who had sworn to Pigerre vrete brought forward, one by one, and confronted With the new witness. It was most interesting to see hovfr "rs* one and then another began to hesitate, save the three commnnist prisoners, who' adhered firmly to their first statement that Pigerre teas there. After this " incident was emptied," to use a favorite phrase of the judge's, the prosecutor in a theatrical speech, in which he made himself appear as if he were doing som? n..b!e thftig, withdrew the charge against Pigerre ; or, in his own phrase, demanded "that.the accusation that he had formulated against Pigerre should be annihilated," which was done accordingly.

This was supported by the testimony of several witnesses, and above all by several of the accused. The prosecutor fairly enough considered that he had secured this prev, whose fate might be Considered certain. The man, indeed, denied the chafge, and said lis was fighting in a different part of tlife town at tlie time, but this was only too common a form of defence. Witness after witness came up. Ramain recognised him distinctly as tlie leader who had threatened him with the sabre. " He is the cause," he added, " ot my being in this pl.-tce.', Vattier who carried the light for the dismal procession, recalled his face at once. Latour did the same. Then Pigerre, being interrogated, spoke out, and told his story frankly. He said he had never even known of the exe cation of the hostages until he was taken up and put in prison. '• Picon, one of my fellow-prisoners, came up to me one. day and said, "Is it possible that you don't, know what took place at I.a Roqnette on the 24th of May fj " No," I answered ; •'for the five months that I have been here, I have seen no one from outside." "And you don't know that they shot the archbishop and five others?" I was thunderstruck. He then called over Vattier, and asked him if he knew me. To my amazement the other replied, " Yes, he commanded the tiring party." I thought this was a joke, and took no notice to it. Hut two days later Vattier came again, and sat down l»v me. "So you weren't at the prison on the 24th ?" lie asked. I said "No."' "You are -Jean Baptiste Pigerre, ain't you ?" " Of course I am.'' ''Well, then, it was you who commanded the firing party ?" My arms fell to my side* my tongue seemed paralyzed. They had all made a plan to destroy me." He then questioned the witnesses against him, and asked them all if they recollected how he was dressed and how he wore his beard. One said he had a cap; another that he had more beard thau he had at present; a third that he had a moustache. " Now," said Pigerre, " I.think I can show the court that there is a mistake. I never had a hair upon my upper fip in my life, as doctors can prove, if they examine it." The president said, dryly, that " the court would give its value to the fact." Then another wit* ness came up, the respectable Monsieur Chevrieu before alluded to. "I was par ticularly struck,'' lie said, "by the face of an officer, in the dress of a National Guard, with a scabbard trailing after hi in, marching with a curious nonchalant expression, and appearing to take the least interest in what was going on, and I shall never forget him. The face was fixed in my memory. My duty is to tell the court thaf it was very like his (PigerreV)." When he had finished his evidence, Pigerre begged ofhim to come close to look at hiin -again- The other did so, and after a fixed stare adhered to the opinion he had given. "Then," said the accused, "as lie recognized the sabre. I notice a member of the court with one exactly like mine. (Laughter). He was asked what officer. " Captain Reporter," • said our prisoner, "would you be kind enough to show your sabre?" (Loud laughter). The president: "Silence! gentlemen, there is nothing to laugh at in all this.'" But the sabre led to nothing, and Pigerre was in a worse condition than hetore. Another witness, Soison, a police officer, came up, and swore he saw the prisoner with the firing party. Again Pigerre tried to shake him, what dress, what cap he was wearing? He could noty *ay—he had only once noticed his fact/ Well, let him look again, say at the profile. This police officer stepped forwarin, and after a moments gaze, said : "Jo mistake, that's the man 1" The unfortunate Pigerre could only say, " You are confounding me with some one else at which audacity loud murmurs broke from the audience ; more witnesses came, each yet more positive, and whenever he, poor prisoner, proposed that his face should be scrutinized closely, the audience burst iiHo loud laughter. It was becoming rather a good joke for everybody, except, it may be presumed, for poor Pigerre himself. GROCERIES, ETC.

MAIN St., PITTSTON, Pa. PAIRING PROPRIETORS OF - The contrast between tbe treatment ©f accused persons on their trial in France, and the milder conduct of our criminal proceedings, has been often insisted on, and with some complacency. It has been said that in the one country the prisoner is assumed to be guilty till proved innocent, in the other he is assumed innocent until proved guilty. Yet the French theory might seem to be at least consistent and logical; tor the fact that a man is in custody, and Under restraint, amounts almost to a dealing with him as though 1* were guilty. We make him a present, for liis comfort, of the handsome theory; the French disdain the compliment, and only carry out onr practice to the end with a brutal and relentless logic. Some incidents in the recent Communists trials at Versailles, which have been reported vt-r-batum, will illustrate the singularity or French criminal procedure in a rather striking fashion.

It is the misfortune of America that, the rfpportunities of gaining wealth which it affords to every one, have tempted to this Continent hundreds of thousands of peo| pie who are incapable of comprehending i our civilization of profiting by onr institutions. For these a system of compulsory measures will be found absolutely necessary. A lamentable instance of this i is presented by the Italians, who have | commenced emigrating from Genoa and ' the Bjjsilicata in continually increasing numbers. At present the Citv of New York contains in all some 14,000 Italians, who, with rare exceptions, are in a very debased condition. With them as a class however, this article does not pretend to deal. It will be restricted to the lowest class of all—to the Italian children who beg in the streets and restaurants under pretense of playing musical instruments, and theirpatroni, the ruffians who hire them. It must be understood that this traffic in children is as absolute a slavetrade as ever existed down South, and is in its details infinitely more repulsive. A society has been formed with agencies all over this country, and with traveling agents in Italy. This society does business in this way : It, by its agents in Italy, purchases from -the parents In the teeming Basilacata, a province of Naple", north of Calabria, young boys and girls at the rate of six dollars a year, for eight years, unless the cluld should die or run away. Other hgents bring these children "by way of Genoa and Marseilles to this country; here other agents hire them out to patroni or bosses, who furnish them with musical instruments and send them out to make a living for them. In return they board them and clothe them, treat ing them tolerably well if they each make the required which is one dollar per day, but still not attempting to edu cate them, and exposing them in winter to the most terrible sufferings from insnf ficient clothing.—N.

KAPP & CO., CONSISTING OF These trials were directed by a number of officers, who filled the offices of president,%prosecutor and reporter, and the trials began by the reading of a general indictment against the whole party of accused, setting forth all the incidents of the affair in question. This was drawn up in a rather sensational and dramatic style, full of such phrases as " this hideous business," "these execrable villains," "this excuse is simply humbug," and was followed by a little epitome of the particular part each accused had taken in the affair. Then each prisoner stood up and was interrogated by the judge, assisted by the prosecutor, who strengthened weak places by putting questions himself. The judge had before him all the dispositions of the witnesses, and on these he founded his questions. The accused was called on usually after this form: ' By the documents just read, you are accused of certain offences; what have you to say in your defence ?" The Persian Famine.—Persia, last year was the very Job among countries. For five preceding seasons she had '-em afflicted by drouths. Pasturage was almost entirely destroyed, and the means of irrigation reduced to almost nothing. I uraense loss of life by famine was one consequence, and, more fearful still, cannibalism was in many cases resorted to. Offal and unclean animals were largely consumed, and the unhappy people were in the last stages of despair. Nor was this all. The silk crops failed in Gillian, Turcoman brigands ravaged Khorrassan, and at last the cholera broke out in all directions.

The president then (to take the case of Frangois, the governor of the pris on where the hostages were confined) would answer bluntly — "Everything1 proves your guilt; your nomination to the post, and your choice of such subordinates as Picon and Ramain, because you knew that these men would carry out voui wishes with greatest cruelty." Frangois answered—"I did not appoint them." The President had him in a second. "We havo your letter of appointment here," thus drawing first blood. But the other explaining that he had made the same offer to every one of the old jailors, the president, no doubt a little put out, returned to the attack with rather a shabby thurst. "At all events, the court will see from the behavior of these two men that you had an object in view in appointing them." Then the accused was asked whether he had done certain things, which he would deny, and was met by a quotation from the evidence of a witness whose evidence was to come, the prisoner being thus ingeniously forced to deny the truth or give some explanation. The judge would be sarcastic at times. " W here were yon from eight to ten o'clock'?'' " In bed." " doubt, from the agitation into which the noise of the firing had thrown you." Sometimes the evidence of one prisoner would affect the other; and the judge would turn to the latter and ask—" What have you to say to that?" Some, like the woman La Chaise, would answer rashly—"It's a lie!" others would ineffectually try to justify themselves. A QuARBEtu—A disgraceful affray occurred at Alexandria, Egypt, between G. H.

Genton, the communist judge, proved to have brought the order for executing the hostages, had found the evidence gradually closing around him: and after some explanation relative to his own case, broke out, with much earnestness— " Aa regards myself," he said, "it is all one. \ ou can shoot me if you like. But as to Pigerre, T tell you he is innocent. I would wish to save you from a judicial blunder. He had nothing to do with it— it was a man called Verier, and another fair-haired one who commanded." The prosecution argued with him calmly. If this were so, how was it Pigerre was. accused? They on their side knew nothing ot him until he was denounced by his own side. " I tell you," answered Genton "you should make every exertion to tind out a man that resembles this Piperre. Set him before me once, and I \jill tell yon he is the man, though I know not his name. I do you a service in letting you know this: find him speedily before I am put out of the way." This earnestness was met coldly. He was reminded that there were seven witnesses against his testimony: and that, after all, his testimony, if accepted as true, only amounted to this, that he had seen the firing party return under the leadership of Yerig. anil that Pige-re was not with them. Howover all III witnesses were made to stand up again and look at the prisoner, and then persisted that the man. Af-. ter this there was no more to be said ; the trial went on, the prosecutor summed up in a fervent speech, requiring the conviction of Pigerre among others. The advocates for the prisoners delivered short appeals for their clients, and the case was all but over when a fresh dramatic incident occurred. Fike-Aems.—It is, perhaps, idle to expect that any warning, however tragic, will put a stop to the wicked folly of pointing fire-arms at human beings " m joke," and only a statute will provide against it. But any one who has ever been tempted to handle these instruments of death carelessly, will liud food for reflection in the killing of a young man in Brooklyn, by a friend in this way. It was a shocking case, and yet it is one which criminal thoughtlessness makes possible every day. OILS. Ac., Ac., Ac., 311,359 t AND GENERAL BLACKSMITHS, Exeter St., West Pittston.

Previous to iS69 Irish emigration had always been much larger than English. In 1864 the number of Euglish and Irish emigrants were 56,618 and 115,428 respectively, or in the proportion of 33 to 67 ; in 1869 they were 90,- 416 and 73,o25 or in the proportion of 52.22 to 44 78. In 1870 theEughsh were to the Irish as 58.63 to 41 37 ; and in 1871 as 59 to 41. Nevertheless, as regards the proportion to population, Irish emigration is still much greater than either the Euglish or the Scotch ; the proportion in 1871 having been of Irish 1.31, English .45, and Scotch .57 per cent, of the population.

These gentry lived together on the fat of the land, "r used to say t« them, 1 Our children are dying, give us something for them—a little wine.' Not at all. These fellows drank it all."

The witness—"There is a great deal of truth in that. I must ask your pardon, for that view of the question escaped ine." The prosecutor— " It was quite in the regular course of things, you see, that those persons should have fallen out with each other." The eloquence, too, when it came to the Commissary of the Government's- reply, was amazing.
