oflloe ns she was nbout to consul her solicitor
Wns It ominous of to-dny's testimony ?
Uninjured she joined her family gionp this
morning , looking sad but self possessed. The
Duke of Marlborouch , for Ihu tlilul time n
correspondent In his histoiy the Lady Ayles-
ford cn e being Iho most prominent of the
llirco occnslons at a nhort distance
avvny from her. Ills sun-burned

much Improve his almost tonsuicd bend , His

Till1. CONT1DKNTIAI , MAID'H TT.STIVIOVY.
To cut short n long nnd rather wearisome
dlicct examination of this witness , n ills-
charged maid , It may bu pntd that she told
hei stories trippingly nnd gave n rather
stereotyped confidential mnld'.H talc , imply
ing adultery , much like Iho narratives given
jcnrs aio In New York in the famous Hasock
vs Culling case. It was a tale of tlm
dally coiiespondcncn between Iho Duke of
Marlboiouzh nnd l.ndy Colin , of Idlers se-
crcily delivered , of milady's midnight piovvl-
In ITS near Marlboroiuh's house when in dls-
enlso , nnd of adulterous doings , ot which the
pillows , bed linen , and towels weio all silent
\ < / " witnessos.
"Methlnks the lady doth protest too
much , " seemed thu motto with several of the
Jinors.
A 1IAII WITNKSS. it
Shu wns Iho same lerrlblo vvllness for Iho
side calling her which Lady Miles had been.
Shu was too glib , too confident. Ilur story
sucmdd to go lo pieces in many important
particulars , especially when Sir Charles Hus-
sell , for l.ndy Campbell , got at her in cross-
examination. Ho had been visibly Impatient
and eager for thu fray while thu witness wns
on the stand. Dliectly ho called for nny ot
hci written statements. Laid Colln's legal
luminaries smclled danger and fought bit
terly to have these , ns given his solicitors ,
declared privileged. The judge , however ,
said they must bo produced. Dovetailing
her testimony just given with Iheso state
ments , Sir Charles Kusscll certainly suc
ceeded In exposing manv inconsistencies and
contiadlctlons , besides diavvlng attention tenet
not n fuvv absurdities.
During the vvllness' evidence llieDnkoof
Matlboiougn kept glancing impintinbably
at tlio jmors , as much as to say : "Didn't I
lull you there was nothing in it ? "
Sir Charles Husscll was particular to hi ing
out the tact that the witness had told the
story to Lord Collu's lawyers before the time
nt which they openly stated on the first trial
I , for ciuelty that they had nothing against
"
' Lady Campbell's character.
TAINTED ON rilOSS-KVAMINATIOX.
The onslaught of Sir Charles' cioss-oxam-
Inatlon finally drove the witness Into a
fainting III , nnd many wonduicd whether It
wns to bo n repetition of the old dramatic
incident of Snpuhha. However , after
luncheon she was restored to equanimity.
Hut Sit Clmilcs Hnsscll continued pljlnghls
tculblo questions. Sometimes the judge in-
trrrtiptcd with seaichlng quciles of tlio
witness.
Next Atloiney Ccnuial Wessher , for the
Dnko of Mnlboiongh , cai.tlit up tlio threads
of Inconsistency. Fiom all these signs It be-
rnme evident that tlm cioss oxamlncrs were
laying the foundation for alibis ; nlso thai tlio
man O'Neal , just an ivcd fiom Jay Gould's
j achtsei vice , would to some extent coirob-
oratu the witness. It is said that lie will bo
called to-moirovv.
U really now looks ns if the trial , with the
rebuttals nnd sjieeches Hint nttiit follow ,
might inn Into thu Chiistmns season , that
season which II ruies as the occasion on which
to-day's witness swears that Lady Colin
Campbell anil the Duku of Mnilboioiigh met
intimately In Lady Miles' country hoibc.

To the 1'dltor of the Heiald : The readiness

tissue of falsehoods. The resignations ol
lite membcis of tlio ( inrliuld cabinet weio
all placed In Piesident Arthur's hands Imme
diately after he took the oath of ollice before
the chlel jusllce , on llio ' 2d day of Seiitem-
ber , IbSl , in thu vice president's room , while
Piesident Oaihcld's remains weio lying In
tim rotunda ot thu capltol. Tlio uiusldcnt
asked Iho several gentlemen to remain in
ollico nntil tliero could bo a fuller conference.
Next day the funeral piocesslon stalled tor
Ohio , but President Arthur remained behind.
JJeloro leaving Washington Ulalne nsKed thu
iresident at what date lie would probably
bo released Irom the slate depart munt , and thu
latter icpllcd that ho desired Mi. Ulaino to
remain until thu York town celcbiatlon ol
October 10 should bo over , and the euteitaln-
mcnt of Hie French and Cerman vitllois
should bu completed. DIaino. of couise ,
consented to Iho picsident's wishes. After
Hie foreign visitors had departed , which was
about tlm middle of November , Hlainu still
lemaincd to assist in the i > repaiation of so
much of Iho president's message ns related lo

vened , during December , and on llio day on
whlcli Kiclinghtij sen had slcnihed Hint ho
dcsiicd to commence his olllcinl duties , lilalno
left Hie department.
During nil this puilnd I saw Mr. lil.iine
frequenlly , and ho conversed with mo liocly.
Ho man lie.stcd to mo no dcsitn
whatever to remain in President
Aitliur's cabinet , lie signified no such
wish to the ] iresideiH. lie considered a
cliangu natural nnd inevitable. Tlio presi
dent , Inrthcrmoic , urged him lo accept the
appointment of mlnlstci lo Kngland , which
Mr. lllaino declined with ( banks , ami they
parted In a friendly spirit. 1 remembeiHi.it
Mr. lilalnc said lo mo that ho did not lecl
able to keep up such an establishment In
London ns lie would desire to maintain , lie
wrote n note to the piesident in connection
with his declination ot the mission whlcli
may perhaps bo toiind among 1'iesidunl
Arlhur's pnpeis , 01 Mr. lilainu may havu a
cony.
The dilToienees touching some fratiues of
Iho Soulh American policy happened aflci
.Mr. lilalnulelt thu cabinet , the pilncipal one ,
of a personal chaiactei , being between Fio-
linghnys'en and Itlalnc. Even this , 1 think ,
never amounted to a totnl suspension ot indi
vidual relations. Ulnlne had given a public
icccption at his house to thu new
secretaiy , but nfter a time hospitali
ties censed , though 1 think mutual calls
by card were never abandonde. Uetwccn
the president and Ulalne personal relations
and exchange of hospitalities weio kept tip
oven when dlflcrenccs on the South A men
can policy vveru at tlio highest point. ISIalne
dined at tlie while house and Iho piesident
dined al lilainc's. I am quite smu that Mr.
and Mrs. lilainu vveio Invited to the white
honso two or three tliiicsduiing the winter of
18St and that the president dined nt Ulaino's
as late as .March , IbSl , within three months
of the national convention.
Dining the canvass for the nomination In
the Mining and summer ol ISM mnnv .shaip
savings vvcro In cliculallon.and thcpi'csident
was much distuibcd at limes at reports of
some of thorn and lilaino may have also been
hritatcd , but their personal iclatlons were
never terminated. As Into ns hist spring ,
when lilnlno finished his 'Twenty Yeais of
Congress,1' lie sent the two volumes to
Arthur with n kind Inscilptlon , and they
vv 010 accepted by a friendly note. Alter Ihu
presidential election the chahmnn of tlio
national committee was indiscreet enough ,
In n published Intcivluvv , to impute to
President Aitlnir and the members of the
cabinet n want of fidelity and /eal In llio can
vass. This chnigo was uascless und was so
declared bj mo at the time In a letter to thu
Now Yoilc Tilbnne , All possible and np-

not have been expected thai we should supci-
ccdo the chulimaii 01 do his work , although
It would have been better If somcono ban

Until , them la much less bltteiness , eeitalnly

among public men who nio livals than our
piolllic and teckless newspuneis wiileis
would have their icadeis believe. Kveiy.
thing which docs happen Is magnified or dis
torted.
The Herald of Saturday last states thatl
did not speak to Ptcsiduut Hajes on the Jato
funeral occasion. This Is untrue. I greeted
hlmiesnectlully. The icfusal of Ulaino to
accent Senator Kdmunds' hand is to boio-
gietled. Ulalno's assigned leason was that
two da ) s beloio there had been made public
a letter written by ndnmnds in the spring ol
ISsriwhleh Imu'Mclicd Illalnu's personal in
tegrity. lllaino had a rluht to diavv this in
ference from ' the letter , but consider
ing the simoundings he should have
reciprocated IMmumls' salutation. He acted ,
however , tiom sudden linpnl-o , and theieby
widened the breach which , Ilko Hint with

\\hllo our erent republican leaders nuaiiel
thepaity suffers , and by reason of such dif
ferences loses a piobidcntial election. It Is
tor the Inteiest ot tlm countiy ( hat such

was seen this moiniugand ho talked lioely
icgaidlng his noublos. and thun to the sur-

lated :
" .My Oed , I'm thed of this. 1 am tired of
being pointed nt as a blackmailer and thief.
I ha\o kept ihls matter between Mocn and

got to come out and for the liist time In my

I have in my possession , which 1 ha\e no\er

that say in tltc hnndwilting and signed by
Phillip MoenV It reads ' .My dear son. ' and
Is nddiessed to mo by mv lather , Phillip

was my fatlier , .Jonas Wilson , drove a stairo
line between Dniiielsonvilleand Wlllimantlo ,
Conn. Ho died in the year IbTO. Justine-
vlons to his death ho experienced religion ,
and as he had a desire to iello\e his mind
and die with a cleai conscience , ho called mete
to tlio side oi his death-bud and inndn thu

bulled 1 soiuht out Phillip .Moon , mv own
father , and acquainted him with the ( nets.
Ho acknowledged that It was tine , and
begged of mo to Keep it a secret between ns

daughter , named Maria. Tins 1 promised to
dou but in older to keep other parties quiet , 1
was obliged to Keep paying them laigo

As near as can bo ascertained by Inquiring
it appear ; that alter Mo < ; n mairied his lirst
wlte a child was bom about MX months nltei-
wnids. This child is the present "Doe" Wil
son , or lightly .Moen. Moon's wife was
taken to tlio Wilson's , who kept a sort of
Iving-in hosnltal tot women In a delicate con
dition , and the infant was kept by the Wil
son's and bought up as their son , until tlm
time of the death ned confession , when it
was revealed that Wilson was not Wilson
nt all , but icnlly .Moen. Moon's wife died
and the secret'was known onlv to the foster
parents of young Wilson. Wilson , In his
iccent suit airaliist Moon , expected that it
would result in his favor without lecourse to
the divulging ol tlio secret. Ho icckoned
without his host , however , but
lid Is determined to lollow Ills
father to the bitter end. It will eitliei
devolve upon Moen to pay the Wilsons foi
their silence or to mak a. snttsfnctoiy settle

and , as preairanped , was to bring him up in
ignoiance , when appealed toby Wilson to
come forward when necessary and testify in
his beiialt relative to vvliat she , -with him. had
for so many j ears kept in secret , begged of
him not todo it , and in tlio fren/.y ot her
grief nt the bare possibility of the sectet being

Will Moen disown the son begotten in his

for the sake of family pride and position , lias

submitted his .second annual icport to the
Ptcsident. He duscilbes In general terms
the progress made In ngrleultuicduilna re
cent jcars and tlio condlllon.s which con-
tiibute tomakn this "the best fed nation on

leges ot the several stales ate constantly

find themselves stilklng "new leads" whlcli

Hence the general Interest In the bill now

ngilcultuial expetlmentnl stations In connec
tion with nii icultui.il colleges" nnd the pre
valent opinion of Its Importance and desire
for Ha eaily enactment. Xo measure , hu
