JURIEs AND BREACHES OF PRoMlsz.--When
tall and pretty lady was set before them aa
having been deluded, there was no holding
them in. He remembered hearing an old
gentleman, who had been barrister in In
dia, tell the story OF Circassian slave who
had murdered the master of a harem there.
This counsel had to defend her. Il was q
bad case, but he said, Put her in her best
dress, the more transparent the better; set
her opposite the jury, and III answer for the
result And the result was exactly what
he predicted. She had stabbed the nan, but
the jury pardoned the crime for the sake Of
the interesting woman they saw before them.
So in the case Of an action for breach of prom
Use. A young and interesting woman viii
get damages but if a man was ever so young
and interesting he got no damages, but had
to pay heavy costs and get secuted besides.
Why it happened he could not say; but his
experience in courts OF justice was that in
actions for breaches Of promise Of marriage
the women had it their own way, and the
men had no chance. The lady was well got
up, placed in a conspicuous place, and the At
tention Of the jury directed to her, and Of
course she was generally in tears. IF she
were placed in the Witness-box and cried
under cross examination, as they always did,
it would be all over with the men. The Jury,
to show their chiTalry, their admiration for
fair sex. and their contempt for their own,
would Immediately return verdict for her.

The Fool and his Money.

Oae man who, at the eud of theseason, found
himself possessed Of $4,000 or $4,000, hav-

Wealthy, of the Statesman, who was
entrusted with an informal commission

States, through their Legislatures,
should reject the proposed constitution

to give offence to those who are urging
it upon the South. Such action on
their part, he is reported to have said,

account. The heavy receipts by ran
here this year, as compared with last,
show that there are great many more
hogs in the country this season than
last. The tendency in the principal
hog markets of the country is unques.
tionably very decidedly downward, and
it is our opinion that the farmer who
holds his hogs for a higher market will
instead, find lower one. The princi-
pal packers in the West predict that
the market will close at not over DC
gross, and probably go below that fig-
ure.-( Commercial.
