Montgomery for refusing to shake hands

efIthe Tribnne to insult him in exactly the

it. The explanation is male the harder by
the fact that the editor, after refusing to
shake hands with English, turned his
back upon him, and thus gave Mr.. English

that Cen HGrney was entirely right in ta-
king possession of the island for the protec-

the maintenance of the rights of the country

the exercise of the arms seeing that SO much

ed arm and well developed bust. to say moth
ing of the clear blood that dances beneath a
smooth and healthy skin. There is such a
thing. however. as taking too severe degree
of exercise, and we would take the liberty
of advising our fair friends not to run into
the extreme of overriding themselves. But
they have so admirable an instructor that
this caution is, perhaps unnecessary.

WRoNe.--Cert0in parties, whose corns
have been irampled uron 10y the Grand Jury,
now in session, on the score of gambling. are
very bitter in their denunciations of that
body. All sorts of dsgraceful epithets are
applied to the members Of the Grand Jury,
and some are almost tempted to assault them
upon the streets, while others vent their spite
in ridiculing them as would be revivers of
the old Blue Laws of Connecticut This is
all wrong, and is in very bad taste. Every
intelligent man in the community ought to
know that it is the duty of the Grand Jury
to inquire into all offenses, of whatever char
acter against the laws of the country, no
matter who may be involved thereby. If
the most respectable citizen in the communi-
ty wilfully violates plain statute, he ought
not to expect any more exemption than if he
were the commonest and obscurest individual
in the land What right has he more than
any other man to transgress the laws of his
country? All Grand Juries are slcoria to do
what this very Grand Jury is now doing, and
every member of such body should regard
his oath as of far more consequence than the
smiles or frowns of his fellow citizens.
