THE TRIAL BY ,JURY.

The word jury denotes, in short, an insti-
tuition so commonly known and SO sacredly
regarded as a sort of palladium of British
iberty-namely, trial by jury-that we shall
say word or two concerning what is known
of its origin among us. Perhaps We should
rather say that our remarks would take the
form of speculation about the origin
and growth of trial by jury; for of the
early history of this method of deciding
disputed questions of fact, very little is
known accurately. In our research, we soon
get into the far-bacl ages of fog aud mist,
where history gropes her way with faltering
and uncertain step. There is, in fact, no
means of discovering when trial by jury be-
gan in England. Juries sat to try cases in
Henry lis time. Now what were Henry
lis juries like ? 1t is a matter of the
cannot find out The growth of trial by
jury has probably been a gradual process.
It's origin was, with little room for doubt.
as follows:-In the early times of our
own history a small number of men lived
together; they constituted a tithing or
larger number q hundred Now these names
have no sensible meaning if we regard
their ancient meaning. They denote merely
the limits Of Typographical boundaries, the
space within those limits. Then they really
meant an association of ten families in
A man committed crime in hundred, say
He wishes to purge himself of his imputed
guilt. His jury, by whom he was tried, were
tie men of his own hundred. They knew
every act of his life-his incoming his out
going, his innocence or his guilt they consti-
tuted the jury by which he was tried; and the
popularity Of their case was that they tried
the cause, having complete previous kno-
ledge of all the facts. Herein lies one
chief difference between our an
cient and our modern jury. While
The jurors of early times possessed
a full knowledge of all the facts of the case
the modern twelye-"good men and true =
are men caught hap hazard in the streets; we
msy say, men who are supposed to be per-
fectly innocent of any knowledge of the facts
of the case they are to try until they hear the
evidence. After hearing that evidence they
tell the judge what they think about it. It
has not been for so very long period that

1t was found was heartless lie. After hard and
continued 6ghting, Marmont, seeing that his
army was of no avail against such overwhelm-
ing numbers, and unwilling to see the city de-
stroyed in a defense which was useless, made
terms with the enemy and surrendered. The
fight was of only one days duration, but the
total loss was 10000 men.
This was the last siege of the city previous to
the present one which has just terminated so
unfavorab'y to the French. The city during the
late siege was incomparably stronger than it
ever was before, and the power of the enemy
was increased in proportion. But the power Of
starvation is always the same no matter what
the strength of the fortress and to this aid is to
be attributed in a great measure the present
downfall.

The MoAD1TE SToNE.-This curious relic
of antiquity was the subject of paper re-
Gently read in the department of Ethnology
and Anthropology of the British Association.
The auther of the paper, Rev. C. d. Guis-
bert, says that this stone dates back nine
hundred years before Christ, and that the in
scriptions are more ancient than two-thirds
of the Old Testament books. Out of fifteen
Moabite cities mentioned in the Old Testa-
ment, the names of eleven are to be
found on the stone. From the in
scriptions, DIR. Guisbert had arrived at
the conclusions that the Moabites had
attained a high degree of civilization,
and were superior TO the Israelites in military
ability. He was also of the opinion that our
alphabet was derived, through the Greeks and
Romans, from the Moabites. He also con-
tended that, at the period indicated by the in
scriptions, an organized temple service ex-
listed among the Israelites living ont of
Palestine, and that the service was analogous
to that of the Moabites. He also stated that
the word Jehovah was in common use
among the Israelites nine hundred years be-
fore Christ, although afterwards it was con-
sidered too sacred TO he named. DR.. Raw
linson, in the discussion that folio we'd, OBJ
jected to the conclusions of the paper, and
attributed to the Phonicians the merit of the
discoveries claimed for the Moabites.

England and in the last century cole
brated judge said it was one Of the highest
feats of constitutional government to get
twelve honest men into q jury-box. 1t
is thus established that a modern Juror is
the very opposite of the old jurymsn; for the
one entered upon a trial, in all cases, with a
knowledge of the facts of the case; the other
as a rule, knows nothing of them until they
are disclosed in evidence. And this know
ledge possessed by the old Jurors was matter
of necessity. Take the case, for example, of
a small village nowadays. Everybody knows
everybodys elses business, and if the men
of the village tried the criminal themselves,
ignorance of facts and freedom from preju-
dice would be alike impossible. le.-Once a

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.

The following, from a physician who has
made the cure Of inebriates a special study, is
well worthy of confederation
A statement has been going the rounds of
the papers, and has even found its way into
temperance journals, to the effect that drum
kenness can be cured by satiating the appetite
of the drinker with whisky; aud TO do this it
is recommended to cook his food in whisky,
to mix his coffee and tea with it, and not
allow him to even have water without the
addition of the stimulant. The theory is that
be becomes disgusted with the taste and even
odor of theintoxicant, and loathes it to such q
degree that he will never taste it again. The
fallacy, to say nothing of the danger, of such
course must be apparent to every one who
thinks lntelligently upon the subject.
Every inebriate who has had any
thing like an ordinary experience with the
article knows that in the decline of debauch
among the first symptoms of recovery is a
nauseating disgust for liquor. He wants
anything but whisky. If he will let his
debauch run its course, drink as he plesses,
and subject himself to no restriction or
restraint, he will come to stop 10y sickness.
He cannot retain his accustomed stimuant:
he rejects food, and is threatened with ex-
haustion and perhaps delirium. When he is
nauseated, disgusted, he ceases to drink and
allows nature to recover herself again, so
that be can take food and regain his strength
This is the experience with almost every
debaucb, and yet he continues from time TO
time to indulge, notwithstanding the sicllen-
ing process.
From a moral standpoint, we do not see
how temperance men can reconcile such
course with convictions of duty. The doc
trine of total abstinence is the doctrine of
safety, and we do not believe the morality of
urging men to protracted drunkenness. nav,
of confning them and compelling them TO
remain drunk for any length of time, can be
justified. There are no institutions for the
treatment of inebriates in this country where
such practice is permitted, and we are sur
pIised to find advocates of total abstinence
supporting such a dangerous and immoral
practice.

The LAND OF FLowERs.-Florida-by far
the largest and most accessible of our Atlantic
States, the first among them to be settled by
Europeans-remains to this day the most
sparsely peopled. With coast liue of over
five hundred miles on the Atlantic. and over
six hundred miles on the Mexican Gulf, with
several good harbors and considerable inland
navigation, she has hardly more inhabitants
than square miles. Yet her natural attrac-
tions are certainly considerable. Her climate
is semitropical, yet not excessively not, being
modified by breezes from the ocean aud the
gulf. Her timber is more abundant and ac-
cessible than that of any other State while
game and fish are nowhere else so abundant
Her soil is of unequal value but much
of il is decidedly fertile. 1t Is too soon by
many years TO talk of draining her rich
swamps; but very much of what seems to
casual view but white sand is really composed
Of minute marine shells, and produces large
crops at a moderate cost. For the growth of
fruits she cannot be surpassed. Oranges of
fine quality are produced in great abundance
and at good profit, though frost sometimes
destroys fruit and tree together. Lemons,
lines, peaches, figs, grapes, pomegranates,
olives, blackberries, thrive admirably. Horned
cattle, sheep, and swine thrive and multiply
Oh the wild grasses with little feeding and
less care. Very large herds Of cattle hava cost
their owners little besides the trouble of
marking the calves SO that they may be ideu-
tilted. Some raisers have each twenty-five
thousand head or thereabout, and are rapidly
epTiching themselves by pasturing stock on
eyerybodys land The Confederate armies
were largely supplied with beef from these
magnificent herds. Whenever Florida shall
be systematically cultivated, even in part, her
cnltiyators will derive great advantage from
the early maturing Of their crops. Berries,
fruits, vegetables. will be sent by daily lines
of steameTs to every great ssaboari city
months before those OF the North will be
ready for market New potatoes in May, aud
fresh RrapCs ia July. will command prices
far exceeding those psid three months alter
wards.
