Western eloquence continues to improve. A Wisconsin reporter sends the following sketch : —A lawyer in Milwaukee was defending a handsome young woman accused of stealing from a large unoccupied building in the night time, and thus he spoke in conclusion "Gentlemen of the jury,—lam done. When I gaze with enraptured eyes on the matchless beauty of] tin? virgin, on whose resplendent charms suspicion never dared to breathe; when I behold, radiant in the glorious bloom of lus trous loveliness, which angelic sweetness might envy, hut could not eclipse, before which the star on the brow of the night grows pale, and the diamonds of Brazil are dim; and then reflect on the utter madness and folly to suppose that bo much beauty would expose itself to the terror of an empty building in the col 1, damp, dead of night, when innocence'like hers is hid ing itself among the snowy pillows of repose ; gentlemen of the jury, my feelings arc too overpowering for expression, and 1 throw her into your arms for protection against this foul charge, which the outrageous malice of a disappointed scoundrel has invented to blast the fair name of this lovely maiden, whose smiles shall he the reward of the verdict winch I know yon will give !” The jury acquitted her without leaving their seats.
