the court met to-day, and there has appeared in the evening papers this notice:

"a novelty in the shape of a chinese woman witness appeared in the sessions yesterday. mrs. lee yet went into the box in behalf of her husband. her trim little figure was becomingly attired in a dark-red, tailored costume, and a reddish trimmed hat set off to perfection her rich oriental complexion and features, beautiful in their national type. she gave her evidence without an [pg 105]interpreter, and did much toward clearing her husband of the accusations falsely laid against him."

oh, isn't it delightful to think that i have been instrumental in bringing all this to a happy issue! i shall carry this newspaper down to mrs. yet's home, and read to her this pleasing paragraph.
