Finding . "Werdict."

A funny story is told by correspond
ent Of a western paper of the first colored
jury impanneled under the recent military
order in Texas. 1t appears that, by mu-
nicipal regulation, justices of the peace
have jurisdiction over offenses of certain
grades, with power to impanela jury of
six, to try the case in regular and ample
form. An ofense having been committed
by colored citizen, he was arrested and
brought before such jury, composed
chiefly of negroes from the cotton fields in
the distance, who was duly sworn, and one
of their number appointed foreman. AZ
ter hearing the evidence and pleadings of
counsel, the jury We're charged by the JUS
tice that their duty was "to find verdict,
and when they had found it to return. in

whose name was Sam, returned Mt the

The Judge then gravely proceeded to ex-
plain to the Jurors the natureof the yer

once more to deliberate. In another half

| BALLooNING EXTRAORDINARY
BRIDAL Tour SKYwARDs.-The Pitts
burg Commercial, of July 10Th, gives
the following account Of balloon we'd
ding:
In the afternoon, Notwithstanding the
shower of rain at two O'Clock, upwards
of one thousand persons assembled to
witness the wedding in the balloon, and
the subsequent ascension of the parties
in the "Bridal Chariot" About four
clock Miss Forshell and Mr.. Smith
son entered the basket, accompanied by
Alderman Strain, of the Tenth Ward,f
and in few seconds the balloon ascend
ed to a height of one hundred feet,
where the contracting parties were duly
married by the Alderman. At the con-
clusion of the ceremonies the balloon
was drawn down. Alderman Strain
stepped out, and the intrepid aeronaut,
Professor S. S. Thurston, of Meadville,
took his place. The ropes were cut,
and the balloon swiftly and majestically
assembled to a height of about 1000 ft.,
when it sailed off in a southeastern di-
rection, crossing the Allegheny river,
over the upper Wards of the city, and
on up the Monongahela Valley, landing
safely about two miles above McKees-
port This was really one of the most
beautiful ascensions ever made in the
country, and was remarkable as being
the first and only balloon bridal trip
ever accomplished.
Professor Thurston, who has proved
himself, on this, as on other occasions,
to bea skillful aeronaut, speaks in eulo-
CYSTIC terms of the nerve of Miss For
shell, who stood upon the seat in the
basket until the balloon had assembled
through the first clouds-a mile above
terra frna. The balloon, from the
time it left the Park until it reached
McKeesport, continued to ascend, the
greatest height attained being about
three miles. AS before remarked, Prof
Thurston safely Landed his aerial vessel
some two miles above McKeesport, and

the earth the party were surrounded by
more than thousand persons. A car
riage was provided for Mr.. and Mrs.
Smithson, and wagon was employed to
carry the balloon to McKeesport. On
nearing McKeesport the crowd increas-
ed in numbers, and in their enthusiasm
over the intrepidity of Mrs. Smithsou,
lifted ler from the carriage and carried
her to the hotel, where the party re-
mained until the arrival of the evening
boat. During their stay in McKees-
port the wedding party were serenaded
with vocal and instrumental music, and
an enthusiastic time generally was had.
The voyagers arrived safely in the city
at midnight, all suffering from deafness,
caused by the great altitude they had
reached, but which will disappear in
few days.

seemingly endless array of tricandeaur,
cotelletts, ragouts, and other "kick-

founded him with its variety, while he
despaired of graphing with them all.

IN THE CIrY OF GOD,

Sometimes in white raiment see you,
Treading higher and higher,
On the great sea CT glass ever shining,
And mingled with fire.
With the crown and the harp of the victor,
Exultant you stand:
And the melody drops, as if jewels
Dropped from off your hand.
You walk in that beautiful city,
Adorned as bride,
Whose twelve gates of pearl are forever
Opened freely and wide.
Whose walls upon Jasper foundations
Shall firmly endure;
Set with topaz, pearl, and sapphire,
And amethyst pure.
You are where there is not any dying,
Any pain, any cries;
And Gods hand has wiped safely forever
The tears from your eyes:
For if spirits be cause of much loving
Come nearest the throne,
You must be with the saints and the children
Our Lord calls his own!
Sometimes you are led in green pastures,
The sweetest and best,
Sometimes as lamb in the bosom
Of Jesus you rest.
Where you linger, the spiciest odors
Of Paradise blow,
And under your feet drifts of blossoms
Lie soft as the snow.
If you follow the life giving river,
Or rest on its bank,
You are set round by troops of white lilies,
In rank after rank.
And the. lovelies. things and the fairest,
That near you are seen,
Seem as beautiful handmaids, who wait on
The steps of a queen.
For always, wherever see you,
Below or above,
I think all the good which surrounds you,
Is born Of your love.
And the best place is that where 1 find you
The best thing what you do:
For you seem to have fashioned the heaven,
That was fashioned for you.

4 GENTLEMAN who does his own
marketing recently purchased, among
other things, pair of live Holsters.
The servant being ,out on an errand
when he returned, he personally placed
the Holsters upon the cement floor of
the cellar. While dining, his wife heard
a voice beneath as if some combat was
in process in the cellar A moment
afterward the servant, who had been
about three weeks in the country, came
pantingly into the dining room.
"Faith, ma'am, an I've killed 'em
both" :" was her eager exclamation.
"Killed what, CathariDe"
"Faith, ma am, two big bull cock
roaches-the biggest you ever heard or" !"
Husband and wife looked at each 9th

BILE such topics must never be touched,
and resumed exercise with knife and
fork. ..- 49,.
Catharine went out saying, in an m
der-tone, as she descended,

When my first kiss on those pure lips

We stood with wreathed tinger-tips
And eyes that swan with loves excess.
You said you feared the omen dark
That threatened us with storm full soon,
And half in Jest you made me maIk
The halo round the moon.
Then dare it with me, love !" l said,
"And meet it smiling then, as now;
Shall sorrows shadow bow the head
That sorrows self should never bow
What follows darkness but the day
What dwells behind each night but noon,
Whose laughing sun shall chase away
The halo round the moon ;"
And now that time has only shown
How brief life's storms when dauntless met,
And every envious year that's flown
Has knit our hearts but closer yet;
How memory holds that night endeared
We asked of fate no further boon,
But dared the augury. nor feared
The halo round the moon.
