ssGaiI Hamilton"

A Washington correspondent says
of Mrs. Grants eighth reception -
"Gail Hamilton's restless, petite figure
and bright, eager face, lodged about
here and there-now she was in
earnest consultation with the Presi-
dent there she stopped to caress a
sunny-faoed child, and again she bus
tied off in the direction of a dashing
belle. Miss Hamilton's best friend
could not consider her pretty, but
there is a nameless, winning grace in
her manner, despite its brusqueness." "

One of two things must be DONE
Either newspapers must be abolished
or a new rule must be adopted in re-
gard 10 the competency of jurors. If
it be ruled by courts, that a man who
has read the account of a crime, aud
who by such reading has formed an
opinion, which it requires evidence to
remove, is not a competent juror,
criminals must go unwhipped of jus
tice, or fools must fill the jury box

It appears that the British House Of
Lords will soon free itself from the So
ciety of Bankrupt Peers. Lord Gran
VILE has undertaken to introduce a
measure for that purpose, and it is
clear, according to the London Press,
that the House will sustain it. The
old impunity, therefore, with which a
nobleman could squander his sub
stance, and bring ruin upon others,
will be brought to an end.

We clip the following grumble from
a Spring exchange, thinking it might
with some exceptions, apply to this
section:
Business is dull. There is no use oil
denying it. It is so everywhere.-
The idea ofgOing from one town to an
other to get into more business is like
jumping from the frying pan into the
fire. 1t is dull in Springfield it is
dull in Akron, her "twin," it is dull
in GAINESVILLE ; it is duller in Mans
field ; it is as dull as duIlness itself
evWywhere.
The fact is, people have been over
trading everywhere.
The situation may be improved II
our citizens will refrain from going
abroad to purchase goods. We have
now frst-class dry goods, grocery,
drug, printing and other houses, and
if our people would refrain utterly
from going abroad to purchase, our
home dealers would be well sustained.

traordinary title "Judas, Archiooquin
Fl du Monde; Attention Soldat." A
work on the consideration of the name
taken by the popes, "Sercus Servorum
I)eS" has the title of, "a Hunt after the
Stag of Stags;" and, not unnaturally, it
has been classed in a recent catalogue
among works relating to hunting.
Sometimes, in the midst of political
quarrels, works have been announced,
the satirical titles of which were the
only portions of them that ever ap-
peAred. Brantome tells us that when
the Duke of Epernon was made govern
or of Provence, book was made in
mockery of him, and cried before the
palace and through the streets, as "The
Great Deeds, Works, and valor of M.
D'Espernon in his Journey to Provence"
This was printed in large characters
but on turning over the leaves, every
page was blank, and nothing printed on
them. The public, friends as we'll as
enemies of the duke, ran to the criers
and bought eagerly; but when they
looked within and saw nothing, they re-
turned in anger to the vendors, and ac-
cused. them of their deceit. They, how
ever, excused themselves in this way
"Why, sir, the duke has done nothing
how can we print anything about him p
In the early years of the reign of Louis
XVI. some works of this kind were ad-

a young lady so visited acknowledges
the error of her ways, the serenaders re-

each one dressed as before, carrying a

carved upon it, and after marching
