The United States possess but three
kinds of poisonous serpents, known in
popular language as rattlesnake, copper
head and mOccasin. The first of these
having 5een tsle chief sub ect of study, we
premise by stating that nearly ali OF our
statements refer TO this serpent. As >
poisoner, 1t raaks side by side with the
cobra and viper fer dc lance, and probably

A Competent Juror.

At the trial ola Case in the County Court
Albany, few days ago, the counsel for the
prisoner struggled earnestly to get an "impar-
tial jury which a hypercritical spectator
might have assumed to be twelve men wholly
free from bias, because of their remediless
stupidity: 4
Sir" said the counsel to one of the panel,
who was undergoing the torture OF an exam
nation, 'do you mean to say, upon your
oath, that you never read word in any
newspaper about this case ?"
81 do mean to say just that ARE thing"
"Do you take paperP"
II guess l amt no such man."
Don't your neighbors take any?"
swell they does"
"You live in the city and have heard about
this case?"
81 haven't nothing else"
"Anl yet you will swear that you haven't
read one word about it?"
that's just what will"
snow will you please inform his Honor the
Judge, how ii happens that You have not, un-
der all the circumstances, read one word
about this important case"
"Why, you must know, It's because can't
readn
The counsel staggered under the reply, but
rallied again under the impression that a man
that can't read is by all the rules of law, and
the practices OF the courts, the very best kind
ofa juror, and the one under eA animation
was accepted as such.
