THE TABLES TURNED. AT tho recent
session Of the United States District Court
in this city, liule passsge-at.arms took
place between the District Attorney and tho
foreman Of the jury, worth relating, per.
haps. 4 case had been submitted, and the
jury having been out long time, the Dis.
irict Attorney thought proper to enter the
jury room nnd ask if lie could instruct
them, supposing they were disagreed on
some point Of law. To this remark the
foreman took umbrage, and In language
more pointed than polite, intimated that the
jury would call upon the gentleman when
his services were needed, and that in tho
meantime they wished not to be disturbed.
The Attorney, thinking thnt this jury had
quite enough on its hands, concluded to
postpone the remaining cases on the docket
to another term. The jury, having finally
disposed of the case, requested to know if
they could be dismissed. The District At.
torney sent back word, that if the jury did
not know the wny out Of the jury room and
into the street he would despatch mes.
sengcr to guide them.-Bangor Times.

INFANTS BRAiN.-1'he newborn infan,
usually has that part OF the brain mos
largely developed which is specially neces.
sary for the maintenance Of the animal
functions. The base Of the infant brain il
relatively much larger than the superior
part. Nature, true to herself economies
in every possible way. Since only part
Of the infant brain is necessary to be well
developed nt birth, and since the intellec.
tual and moral organs are not required dur.
ing the helplessness Of infancy. and since
extn largencss Of brain would be a great
inconvenience, nature kindly denies them
at first development of brain which can be
avoided. Hence the little, low, narrow
forehead. the germ, and only the germ Of
ths intellectual organs being needed, only
these seem to be given. The middle part
of tho head, that presides over the bodily
functions, Is moro amply developed. As a
child increases in age and begins to notice
external objects, and becomes old enough
10 understand, and strong enough TO do, it
Is marvellous to note how the front or in.
ellectuul part Of the brain expands.-A. p.
