CHARACTER OF AN OATH.
Witness Thought It Was Like a Note
with Which Some People
Pay Debts.
One of the lawmakers from far*
away Oregon, where there is plen
1 v of gold and silver, tells of a wit
ness who gave his explanation of
what constituted an oath, relates
the Washington Times.
Col. Timmins, a one-horse law
yer, had contracted a debt which
it seemed he never intended to
liuqidate. Suit was instituted on
the note, but the colonel swore the
note off. However, the plaintiff
proved the debt and obtained
judgment. Not long after this the
colonel was interested in another
case in court, and was cross ques
tioning one of the w itnesses, a gen
tleman who had been interested in
the colonel's case in the suit on the
note.
“|>o you know the nature of an
oath?’’ asked the colonel.
“I think I do." answered the wit
ness.
“Then tell the judge and jury
: what it is.’’
“A oath is like a note—a legal
tender with which some people try
to pay their debts.”
Softest Language.
The Turkish language is said by
scholars to be the softest and
! most musical of modern times, be
ing better adapted to the purpose
of musical notation and recitation
than even the Italian
YELLOW FEVER SITUATION.
The yellow fever situation at
New Orleans is said to continue
favorable, but the disease is spread
