Dudley Eefore the United States Commissioner in This City. Judge James yesterday overruled the mo- tion of the counsel of Col. W. W. Dudley ask- ing that the attachment be quashed issued in the libel euit brought against the Evening Post publishing company, of New York city, requir- ing Dudley to appear and testify before United States Commissioner Hackett, in this city, The Louisiana avenue, Messrs. Everett P. Wheeler and Lawrence Godkin, of New York city, repre- sented the defendant, and Messrs, A: 8. Worth- ington and Jeremiah M. Wilson, appeared for laintift. r THE DEPOSITION OF COL. DUDLEY was taken, He said that he was the person who bronght snit against the Evening Post Publishing company for $25,000 damages for libel for the publication on the 30th day of November, 1883, of acertain letter which js set forth in the complaint. He said that He did not think he was acquainted with Ephraim Marsh, of Green- field, Ind., and did, not remember traveling with Mr. Marsh on a train from Greenfield to Indianapolis, He said that he knew Noble ©, Butler and Wiliiam P..Fishback, and he also knew them as his bitter enemies. On the advice of counsel Col. Dudley refused to answer whether he had a confidential clerk or not while acting as treasurer of the com- mittee. When Coil. Dudley was shown a letter by Mr. Godkin and asked if the signature was his or not, at the request of Counsel Worth- ington he declined to answer. Cal. Worthing- ton objected to the witness answering, because the letter offered the witness was evidently mu- tilated, and had something written upon it which not pertain to the original letter. Col. Dudley then said that bis counsel, George Bliss, had advised him not to answer the ques- tion, or any other question calling for itifor- mation as to what letter or letters he did write, or to which his name was appended, other than the one referred to in the complaint in this c He admitted knowing William C, Nichols, rd MeDevitt and Endoms M. Johnson, but declined to say whether any of the above named had ever seen his signature. Mr. Godkin declined to produee the original letter and allow it to be annexed to the com- mission, The commissioner decided that proof should given of the copies being true photographs of the original, and.he was not authorized to admit what purports to be a copy of an exhibit when the exhibit itself is not proved. The commissioner, after hearing the arguments, di- rected the defendant's counsel to produce the sheets referred to (the originals) for the pur- pose of being attached to the deposition, and then granted an adjournment for a week’s time. ses The Manufacture of Brushes.

From the New York Graphic. A group of well-known Wall street men were chatting over their lunch the other day when ‘the subject turned upon war experiences, One of the party, who went out with the thirty-first New York regiment, told the following: “It was just before the fight at Green mountain and abig Irishman, whose name was really Smith, had heard of the proposed charge upon the ene Smith was by no means a coward, but he had an extensive regard for his stomach, so just before the fight he concluded that as it might be his Iast meal he would make it as thorough as possible, and he thereupon ate up all his rations, which consisted of a three days’ supply. t as we were going into action I saw Smith fall like a log. As the bullets were fiying pretty thickly just then I naturally con- d he’ had been killed. About fifteen | minutes later Smith rushed up behind us and took his place in the ranks, I asked him | whether or not he was wounded and he re- | plied, a bullet did fetch up against my stomach, but it was so full that the bullet went around instead of through.’ Subsequent ex- | amination proved the truth of the statement, | for the bullet had actually struck him in the | side of the ston hed ploughed its way under the skin right around his body and out on the other side, His appetite had saved his life, and afterward | throughont the regiment he was known only as ‘Fire Ration Smith.’ ” | eo —_ Strangely Assorted Friends.

DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH SPEED OR BOTTOM? An interesting discussion is going on con- cerning the proper color for a race horse writes a New York ‘Tribune correspondent. Kentucky turfmen disagree like doctors as to the effect color has on speed and bottom, but @ preponderance of opinion seems to be in favor of dark bay, with chestnut asa strong second choice. The Arabs have curious theo- ries on this subject. some of which appear in the following anecdote, taken from a recently published French book: Ben Dyar, a renowned chief of the desert, happening to be pur- sued one day by Sad naty, turned to his son and asked: ‘What horses are in front of You the enemy?” “White horses,” replied the son. “It is well; let us make for the sunny side and they melt away like butter.” Some ar turned to his sonand éai in front of the cried his son. ke for stony ground nothing to fear.

From The Atlanta Constitution. This is the courtship of a business man—a young Georgian, whose pluck and energy has made him a leading merchant in New York. His methods in love were characeristic and his pretty young wife tells their courtship. “The summer I was eighteen,” she said, “my mother and myself spent in Gainesville, and there we met a lady who was a great friend of the man who is now my husband. She was constantly wishing I could meet him. As we came through Atlanta on our way home with this friend as our travelling com- panion, I saw a nice looking, weil dressed young fellow go up and speak to her. She brought him up and introduced him as the friend she’d spoken so often about. We e changed a few civilities, and then I took y train for home and left him waving goodby: the station. “A friend was with him, and when our train had passed out of sight he turned to his com- panion and said: “Do you know I'm deeply in love with that young lad: “The friend replied, ‘Wi you known her? “And he answered, ‘About ten minutes, but that makes no diff ce.

He wrote .that he had fallen in love with me, and with iny father's perspission would like to visit me. and try to win nie for his wife, if such a thing was possible. He gave the best refer- ences in New York and Georgia, and his letter was so hon y, how long have ‘actory inquiries, consented to grant his request. “Well, he came to see me immediately upon receipt of father’s letter, and we became en- geged upon his third visit, and were married in a few months.” soe The Best Man’s Blunder.
