Run Away.

a poor lame lady was once
obliged to send her little boy, only
eight years old, on an errand, late
at night. On his return, he came
running into the house, quite fright
ened, and on being asked what was
the.trouble, said, "There were two
men behind me, and 1 could smell
tobacco smoke all the way, and just
as we turned the corner, they began
to swear, and l ran away from it. %
That's it, boys, run away from it;
and you cannot run too fast, nor toe
far. When you run away from
smoking, drinking, and swearing
you are sure to be running away
from many other bad things. Run
away from tobacco, and whiskey,
and swearing, before they run away
withyou. q

Then take it out, take off the rest
of the husks and with a wo-tlned

only instead of the oven they used
hot stones, and burned the corn

The error of allowing ignorant jurors 10 go
into the box has been so thoroughly criticised
and exposed that it is reasonable to DelieVe
it ought TO have been remedied. In the olden
days jurors were selected from among tDe
witnesses of crime. Those who knew most
about the offense before they tried the GRIM
inal were supposed to be most capable OF try
ing him. The jury found a clear status 1Or
the facts, and the law was left to the Judges.
Bnt in our time We see intelligent men forced
from jury duty because "they know too
"much,r because they have had the advant-
age of reading all the facts, perhaps as
plainly as if they were presented to
them by the lawyers The result OF this
error is that men Who are made jurors are so
ignorant as not to be able to judge of the
facts which they had not the interest to read
about, and that, foi the sake of doing some
thing, they seek 20 judge of the law The
story is told of an East Indian juror that in a
trial he puzzled the judge and lawyers with
logical questions, merely because the only
book he had ever really read was Aristotle.
In our days jurors puzzle not only judges and
! lawyers, but the community as well, because
they were admitted into the box for never
having read anything at all. The man who
IN 1872 does not read the newspapers is hardly
able TO Judge the bings of man who lives
| in land of newspapers.
| The evil belonging to the Court of Appeals
| is that a small body of men meeting together
| to listen to charges Of error from every Court
in the State cannot be expected to aid speedy
Justice. We ought by all means to have
| portion Of thai Court set apart for criminal
business, and there ought to be rule that
cases involving human life should take prece-
dence of all others.
There is no reason why felony should not
be prosecuted, tried, and passed upon finally
| from Sessions to Appeals, within two months;
and we hope that the coming Legislature Will
not allow its term to expire without giving us
| Just means of obtaining justice.

PATERNAL GOYERNhENT.
query.

In those Southern States which are now in
condition only a little better than anarchy,
the disorders have been brought on by men
who have no proper connection with Southern
interests. 1t was the horde of adventures
from the North, following the army into
Georgia and the Carolinas, who emptied the
Southern treasures a few years ago and
ruined Southern credit. SO it is the Northern
political freebooter to-day who fastens himself
upon these plundered communities, and robs
them of their last remaining possession
free republican government. The South is
not responsible for Warmoth nor Kellogg, nor
Casey, nor Packard, nor Spencer, nor Patter-
SOD, nor Worthington. The creatures who buy
and sell legislatures, and judges, and election
officers, and supervisors, are the rulers whom
we have imposed upon our conquered prov
inces. If Louisiana has been prevented from
casting her vote for President, and is dis
tracted by two Legislatures and two sets OF
administrative officers; if Alabama has two
Legislatures and rival Senators at Washing
ton; if Arkansas is threatened with similar
divisions, and in South Carolina the Senator
ship has been bought in open market, and the
purchaser is now trying to buy the Supreme
Court also,-it is not the South who must be
held directly accountable for such outrages.
She is the sufferer, but the disgrace is Ours.
In all these States the origin of the trouble
lies in the assumption Of the dominant party
at Washington that it can govern the South
better than the South can govern herself.
The party undertook to declare that the most
experienced, educated, and respectable cid-
zens of the lately rebellious communities
should neither vote nor hold Office, and the
natural result was the immigration OF horde
Of carpet aggers, who came to steal the
taxes and 10 foist themselves into power.

in our own victories. 1t is possible that, in
their present frame of mind, the President and
those under him in authority do not think
differently. All these years since the last gun
Of the war was fred we have been waiting for
reconciliation. When it has actually come at
last, and we pray Heaven that it may come
soon, when the States are all sisters in fact
as well as in theory, we shall care little enough
TO parade tho names of successful fields upon
our banners. Magnanimity is one OF tho best
qualities of the soldier, and it is one in which
our own brave fellows have not shown them
selves to be deficient.
Naturally we find ourselves discussing the
general subject Of reconciliation, which seems
to us more important than Mr.. Summers par
ticular measure. Whether We are or are not
believed we must confess ourselves weary OF
this still beginning and never ending wrangle.
We want peace that is peace, union that is
union, and fraternity not altogether I'M
brotherly. 1t appears to us that rarely noble
opportunity is now afforded TO the incoming
Administration of promoting peace and good
will among all our citizens. We are willing
to forget the controversies of the late canvass
and the peculiar manner In which 1T was con-
Quoted, if only we can have that which through
the whole contest we songht-a thorough res
toration Of Federal unanimity.

ations. We sent no scientific representatives
to the Eastern hemisphere to observe the last
eclipse OF the sun, while the French and
English expeditions for the most part met
with great success We have no wealthy
scientific associations to carry out such pro-
jects, and we depend mostly on the munifcence
OF private citizens, supplemented by a little
aid from Government. But we must not fall
behndhand.
The Antarctic regions offer less explored
field Of research than any other sea. Many
years have elapsed since any expeditions have
sought those cold and misty attitudes where
doubt still shrouds tall capes that may belong
to islands or to continents, and black, I'M
named volcanic peaks rise high above foot
hills of eternal ice. 1t is understood that the
projected surveying expedition TO the South
Pacific, upon which the U. s. steamer Ports
mouth is to enter after fulfilling her duties at
the Isthmus ana making q trip to Asia, will
not carry her much further south than the
latitude of New Zealand. We learn from Nature
that Dr. Neumayer is urging his cOuntrymen
to organize an Antarctic expedition in Ger
many, being confident of reaching by water
the Southern pole. An American expedition
to south polar regions would be likely
to discover new fields for seal and whale
fishery; and success respecting the now scarce
sperm whale would lead the way to i'm
mense pecuniary profit. A careful survey OF
the ocean track of the central line of the
transit of Venus might discover some island
better suited for observations than that bleak
Antarctic land where it is now proposed to
erect q station. 10 any case the imperfect
geography of the region can be much better
ascertained. There is fame if not fortune in
the attamnt.

YOYAGES or DISCOYERY.

With the exception Of North Pole expedi-
tons, the class of voyages which threw glory
and romance over the perils of distant seas
almost entirely ceased in tho earlier years OF
the present century. Save in Arctic and
Antarctic regions, there seemed but little pros
pect of new discovery and what remained
within those frozen zones offered temptation
to only tho most adventurous explorers. But
last year tho voyage of the Hassler opened a
new world Of discovery beneath tho keel
of the mariner. The success that the
party of naturaiists effected under the
lead OF Agassiz in that expedition has started
a movement which will not cease till every
sea has been sounded. dredged, and invesh-
gated, and all its animal and vegetable life
duly sampled for the scientific museums Al
ready well appointed expedition has probably
sailed from England on voyage westward
round the world upon this ornnd, expecting
to spend al least year in a cruise among the
Pacific islands. The name of the vessel de-
voted to this service il significant: she is the
Challenger. Only those nations that enter the
lists with her will be able to keep in the front
of the advancing science of the age.
There Is little danger, now that tho
Hasslor has returned and we are busy arrang-
ing laurols around tho brows of the successful
explorers, that We may lose tho lead we have
fairly earned. Except tho Polaris, which has
not been heard from since abe started. and

CURE TILE LdW.

While our columns are filled with the
measly pretenses of emo dOnal insanity by the
latest deliberate murderer, who has gone to
the temporary detention which we yet infict
on such unfortunates before turning them
loose on society again, let us seize the chance
to draw attention to one reason why the muir
derers' cells are full and convictions few.
The three most alarming evils belonging to
our criminal law are the procrastination of
the prosecutors, the ignorance of jurors and
the hardness of the Court Of Appeals. There
was a maxim of the old Roman law, that
Lapse of time cannot cure that of which the
"origin is vicious !" but it seems that the
whole stock in trade of modern lawyer is
his ability to defer justice until the COM
munity has lost its sense of indigDity at the
commission of o crime. Even this art of the
lawyers might be counteracted if the public
prosecutors were either able or willing TO
bring on trial while the people have q
knowledge of the circumstances of the alleged
crime. We have in this county District-At-
torney who has three assistants, and yet
the cases which are pigeon-boled, for
gotten, and untried, are very many more
than those which are brought to bar. There
would be some plausible excuse for this pro-
crastination, did we not know TINT politics
very largely influence elective offices, and
that many of the delays Of justice come from
the motion of the public prosecutors. Ii has
been truthfully said that the Office of District
Attorney, in its effects on politics, ia the most
powerful Office in the city. And if the most

Justice who ordered the arrest of Senator
