Nero Jurynen in Philadelphia.

Some very convincing arguments were
put in force by Judge Ludlow. in the
Court Of Common Pleas. on Tuesday
week, against man who considered him
sci degraded by sitting upon jury
wbereon colored man was empanneled.
The Press thus states the case;
Thomas Cullen. residing in the south
ern portion the city, and said to be the
proprietor Of the keystone Skating Park,
is still thoroughly imbued with the old
Democratic idea of the war of races, and
seems to have forgotten or never to have
known what the nation has passed
through since 1861.
The recent history of our courts here
in Philadelphia has given abundant evil
dence of the fact that distinction on account
of color has become a thing of the past.
Colored men have been empanneled on
several occasions, and have even served
in the iury-box in fact. one is now oc-
cupying that position in the Church case
now being heard in the Nisi Prius Court
before Judge Williams.
But thomas never heard Of it. and be-
ing called as juryman in the Court of
Common Pleas yesterday, he thought he
would show Judge Ludlow how much
he knew. but unfortunately only how lit
tie he knew-in being fined for contempt
of Court and getting his name into the
newspapers.
The Clerk (Mr. Hancock was about
to call jury to the box for the trial Of
case, when Cullen stepped to the bar
and exclaimed You needn't call me,
for won't serve T.
Judge Ludlow. Why what's the mat
teri

matter enough2
Judge Ludlow Then fine you 5000.

Juror. All right. Take me to prison |!

Judge Ludlow. l am sorry to see
such an exhibition as this in a court of
justice. While it is painful for me to in.
hict punishment upon you, it is necessary
to teach you where you are, and what
duty you owe. l shall be compelled to
imprisson you until the fine is paid.
Juror. Well, 1 won't serve on the
jury with ''uisger!"
Judge Ludlow. You must understand
cir, that the law Of the land has made the
colored man your equal in the jury box.
and while you may not be pleased with
it. you must, with me. obey The law. l
shall now order you into custody until
you pay this fine, and l shall also impose
an additional fine of 5000 every time
you refuse to serve.
The juror was then taken into Gus.
tody.
The episode created considerable ex,
ctement, for a time, and occasioned a
great deal of comment. as this was the
first instance in which any opposition had
been met with.
Mr.. Cullen was sent to prison. but af
ter few days of confinement concluded
not to rot there, but paid his fine and
was released

How Advertising Compels Attention

A writer in ANthe Year Round says:
The truth is, in this world sheer labor
and industry always make themselves felt
This is theory that would be dear to Mr.
Carlyle as representing something real and
genuine Work, he would tell us, is never
thrown away. Men who spend sums of
money, and sums of trouble and toll,
together with much ingenious poly
chromatic device in flourishing their
names and wares, are pretty certain to
find such bread as they have cast upon the
waters returning to them. The wise who
travel in the underground railways and
see Kitto's Starch staring at them from
over the heads of their o,s-d-Uts in the
carriages, or the Grasshopper Sewing
Machine" no doubt salute those titles with
a "pish!" and "pshaw!" But later, as
their eye wanders over the newspaper or
dead wall or omnibus knife board, or fly
leaf of a magazine, and sees everywhere, as
a murderer does blosd, "Kitto's Starch,
Grasshopper Sewing. Machine" kind
of dull, insensible impression is produ ed.
By and-by, when either of these import
ant necessaries are in demand in the read
er's family, and when there is an impress
sion of doubt or ignorance, the poor aid
de-camp of conceit, or conscious superior
ity, steps in, and aids the advertiser.
Where all are cropping in the dark, it is
hard to resist the conscious sense OF
superiority. "Starch! Why, there is a
fellow called Kitto, who seems to be in
great demand; at least his name is every.
where. Sewing machine Get the Grass
hopper-only four guineas." 1t will thus
be seen that advertising owes good deal
to the pardonable little infrmities Of our
nature
