INCOMPETENT JURYMEN.-There
seems to be deal of justice and com
mon sense wrapped up in the Illinois
proposition to enact law by which
special juries can be called of "persons
who, by reason of their having a
knowledge or experience in any
trade, business, art or profession
which would specially qualify them
to understand the question involved
in any issue or issues" It's certainly
absurd to expect a jury of shipbuild
ers and shoemakers to decide upon
points at issue in the consideration
of drug making, or the customs of the
practice of broke rage.

Dea-Ihe time during which the
earth has generated organic beings
is small compared with the ages DUR
ing which the world was a mass of
molten rocks. The experiments of
Bishof upon basalt show that our
globe would require 100000 of years
to cool down from 5000 degrees,
which is the most intense heat that
we are able to produce, to $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit. And with regard
to the period during which the first
nebulous masses condensed to form
our planetary system, conjecture
must entirely cease.

sA-It is trite, that "Men do not
value health until they lose it," 1t is
the same with wealth. One says,
"Sir, | have not always been as you

do not consider, madam, that you
were in better circumstances because
once you wore silk, and now you
wear calico. Pride and vanity, dress
ed in silk, are not half SO prosperous
as meekness and gentleness dress

ner' looks and Speaks.

From the Augusta ga Constitutionalst,
18th.
The speaker, with a grave, not 30
say solemn, aspect, slowly, and evil
IDENTIFY in great physical prostratiOn,
rather shuffied than walked to the
foOtlights. In the pause of a full
minute at least, before he uttered a
word, we had time to survey the
strange and almost weird look and as
pect of the orator. Father Ryan is
about five feet nine or ten inches in
height, and with fieeey hair in a pile
~ofcorkscrew ringlets, bankedup above
a high and somewhat retreating fore
head, and falling in a wavy mass down
his shoulders; and, pale and delicate
of feature, we never beheld but one
man upon a platform whose whole
physique so % upon the attention
and sympathy of an audience. That
man, our readers all know, is no other
than Alexander II. Stephens. Father
Ryan's voice is clear, and SO peculiarly
incisive, that when he uttered a word
that he meant to do so, cut to the very
bone like a lancet. Had he only the
happy organ that some men have,
and could modulate his voice, his pa
thetic passages would Overburden and
almost break the heart. We thought
so, at least when, like the psaImist of
the sepulchre, he told, in broken ac-
cents, the ~sufferings of his people.

Nh. Paschal suggested that the first
Monday in August has always been
the election day in Texas. The Presi-
dent said he should direct Gen. Rey-
nolds to proceed with the work OF reg
istratiOn, and remarked that he had
mentioned the first Monday in No

diately corrected himself by suggest
ing an earlier day. The President had
been informed BY gentlemen, in whom
he had much reliance, that the dtvi-
siOns in the Union party would b.
healed, and he earnestly hoped such
would be the case.

COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS.
The Bssi Mode Of Contracting Them.


l. Mr.. Nedill, OF the Chicago Tribune,
in an address before the Indiana Edi-
tors and Publishers Convention, de-
liVered the following sensible advice
10 country newspaper publishers and
editors:
would further advise that you open
an education department in your pa
per each winter, and invite thAeach-
ers and advanced scholars to bntrib-
Nute to ii. Publish for solution arith-
metical and geographical questions,
and let the teachers discuss, through
your columns, the various topics per-
tanning TO their profession. II you DO
not feel personally competent to SUI
pervfse this department, you can read
iv find some teacher or clergyman in
YOUR town who will undertake it.
Make it a point to devote consider
able space TO reporting the proceed
ings Of all kinds of meetings andcon-
Mentions held in your town and
county. Whatever may be your re-
ligious notions, treat the dogmaS,
forms and ceremonies Of every sect
with respect, when referring to them,
or reporting their proceedings. II
would be well to make a practice of
publishing abstracts of noted sermons
on special topics, As it will not tail to
please the denomination and interest
the general reader.
More attention should be paid to
reporting the proceedings Of courts
held in your county than is usually
the case, as the courts fill a large space
in the public mind. The leading cases
should be set forth atsome length, and
the decisions of the court and verdicts
of the juries should be announced on
all the cause tried.
Country papers are generally care
less in collecting and publishing sta
tistical matter in regard TO taxable
values, commerce Of the county, vital
statistics, educational and religious
statistics, and many other useful facts.
branch Of Journalism.
Few country papers devote enough
space to market reports, which is a
grave error. There Is no one matter
that engrosses more of the thoughts OF
the community than the prices to be
obtained for their products, and the
prices to be paid for their goods. This
Is a topic that is always talked about,
and ever present in the mind of the
great agricultural class. fyou should
fill half a page per week with the dis
cussion Of this topic, every line Of it
would be eagerly perused by the
farmers and merchants of your coun-
try. Most publishers dispose Of the
whole matter in a couple Of " stick
fnllsv Of quotations from the city pa
pers, and q brief tabular statement Of
local prices, frequently inserted like
