Ferguson was particularly severe on the
unfortunate jurymen. So many men
had been excused on trivial pleas, that

Shortly after Mike made his appear

drawn down until it looked awfullly
solemn. His eyes, too, looked as if
there had been a ''drap O. water wasted"
In fact. Mike looked just as though there
had been the devil to pay, and he was
the sufferer. His voice quivered as he
addressed the court.
"Shure, an your honor, was it afther

Printers are unlike other classes of
men Their vocation imparts to them
an intelligence that does not result from
any other business. Dealing with Ian
guage exclusively, in combination of let
ters, words, sentences and paragraphs,
they are constantly brought into COM
mmion with thoughts and their working,
and these insensbly become imbued with
the ideas OF those minds whose creations
they help to embody into thoS" forms
that give them to the world. They it,
orally get grammar at their fingers ends
while picking up the types that form
sentences that are grammatical. SPELL
ing comes to them as natural as breath
ing, for they fall into correct orthogra-
ply through force Of habit. The char
actefistics Of printers are not SO favora-
bic to personal thrift as those of other
professions. They partake Of the nature
of the artists in some degree, and are
generally liberal to fault, though.less
Of the future, and frequently improvident
Of the past-fush when in a good situa-
ton, and dead broke when on tramp.
They may be said to be- the working Bo-
hemians Of the world # operatives.
