A Juvenile Philosopher.

The Grass Valley Union Of yester-
day gives the following interesting
item /:
Wednesday afternoon, about four
o'clock, John Williams, aged about
four years. son Of William Williams,
who resides near the Gold Hill mill,
disappeared from home. Search was
instantly commenced, and all night
Wednesday was spent BY the neigh
bors in looking for the missing child.
child. Yesterday morning, Mt about
10 o'clock, all old mining shaft, near
the house. was examined and the little
boy was discovered at the bottom Of
It. The shaft was between 20 and 80
feet deep, with 10 water in it. The
boy was called and made answer. He
was soon brought to the surface. when
il was discovered that ave n few cuts
about the face, he was unhurt, but hav-
ing been all night in the shaft, he was
naturally rather hungry. While down
there. finding that he would have to
stay in his dirt prison all night, he did
q very philosophical thing. The little
fellow pulled off his boots and put
them under his head for a pillow ana
then slept "like n top" He did not
waste his strength In calling for help
or In crying, but quietly awaited his
chance of being found BY the persons
who were searching for him. He had
n faith that the shaft would be ex-
amined.

Edwin Forrest.

This very popular actor, who died at
his residence In Philadelphia on the
morning Of December 18th, while In
the act Of dressing, was q native Of
that city, and was born March 8, 1906,
to the Cyclopedia. Early
In life no manifested, We are told, a
love for the stage, and performed fe-
male parts In Philadelphia in his
twelfth year. A year later he assumed
male parts, and In November, 1920,
made his debut at the Walnut street
Theater as Young Norval, In Homes
tragedy Of douglas" He made a
tour TO the Western cities, and re-
turned to the seaboard with increased
reputation. Afer successful engage
ments at Albany and Phlladelphia he
appeared before q New York audience
in July, 1926, In the part Of Othello.
His fine natural capacities, and the
vigor and stateliness Of his person,
made a favorable impression, and the
popularity be subsequently, enjoyed
may be said to date from that occasion.
He acted In the several cities Of the
Union, appearing In the principal
Shakspearian characters aud others
which were expressly written for him.
He visited England and was we'll re-
ceived. During q second visit to En-
gland he married Miss Sinclair, daugh-
ter Of q we'll known singer. In 1874
he went q third time to England and
remained there two years. At this
stage there was q rupture In the
friendly relations which had existed
between him and Macready. and 1t led
to the serious riot In Astor Place, New
York. May 10, lS49. during an engage
ment OF Mscready. In the same year
Forrest separated from his wife for al
legged misconduct on her part. She
brought an action OF divorce against
him for alleged intidelity. and In jan
uary, 1852, obtained a verdict with an
annual allowance Of 5000 as all
mony. He withdrew from the stage
temporarily several time, but was al
ways received with great favor when
ever he returned to It. He became
quito wealthy In his professional ca
reer, and could always draw full
houses. He gave recitations and ap.
peared OH the stage until a very brief
period Of his death. A few years since
he visited this coast, but did not per-
form In any city but San Francisco
Sacramento Union.

A. STRUCK JURY.-As most Of our
readers have doubtless noticed the
phrase In the telcgraphic dispatches
connected with the Jumel case. now
being tried In New York, We will give
the meaning Of It. When the amount
of property involved Is very large, 1t
becomes important that . jury above
tho average intelligence, and which Is
deemed in%corruptible, should be cho-
sen for the second trial. Therefore
the panel Is ordered to include forty
eight citizens Of high standing and ac-
knowledged integrity. From these
twelve men can be selected, after tho
counsel on either side have made al
tcrnate objections, until the panel Is
reduced to that number. This Is a
"struekn jury. 1t 10, we understand,
nearly Any years since such a jury
was empaneiled In this country.

The DEATH OF FoRREsT.-The tel
egraph gives the following particulars
relative to the death Of Edwin Forrest
at Philadelphia day before yesterday,
a brief announcement Of which we
published at the time:
Forests servants repaired to his
room about ten o'clock In the morn
Ing, as 1t was later than his usual hour
for coming down. They found him
lying on his bed, apparently suffering
from apoplexy. Forrest had been ex-
ercIsing with dumb bells, and had evil
IDENTIFY nearly completed dressing, hay
ing been adjusting his necktle, when
he WAS overpowered. He died about
half an hour after being discovered.
He leaves no immediate relatives, his
only sister having died several years
ago."

FRoM the report ofthe Director Of the
United States Mint and branch minis,
1t appears that the institutions are In
excellent condition. The coinage dur
ing the past year has increased, as have
also deposits at the minis and assay
offices; two establishments have been
discontinued rs useless, while others
have largely increased in the extent
of their business; a new mode Of refin-
ing metal is to be introduced In the
Philadelphia Mint which will be pro-
ductive Of considerable saving in time
and money, and other Improvements
have been or are to be made In other
departments.

The debt Statement. for November

The debt statement for November
shows that the public debt was reduced
during tho month to the amount Of
81 ,l9s, 229. This Is the smallest
monthly reduction yet, but 1t shows
that the work Is still going on. not
w~ithstanding the heavy reduction In
taxes and consequent decrease Of the
revenue. This makes the total reduc-
ton since March Z, 1859, to date, $264,-
SOC, go. This Is certainly q very
handsome sum for the nation to pay In
so short a time, and still make such
rapid strides OH the road Of prosperity.

an POWER.

A. tina decentralization Of justice
or the abuse of power In any State Is
great evil, and operates to the detri-
ment of all others It Is to DO hoped that
the great States Of New York aud
Pennsylvania, which are about to call
Conventions to revise and amend their
Constitutions. will avoid tho grave err
ror which Illinois committed. The
Convention that framed the Constitu-
ton OF that State, by some strange neg
let, allowed the pardonlng power to
remain in the hands Of tho Executive.
This was q great blundsr, and the Chi
csgo journals are just now discussing
a means to remedy 1t. The exercise
OF this power by the Governors Of the
several States has been prolific In evil,
and Is \ constant encouragement to the
w~rong-doer. The Executive may be
as pure as Caesars wife, and yet,
through the persistency and misrepre-
sentations Of unscrupulous persons, he
may extend clemency to those who
are the least deserving. The recon-
mendation upon which the prisoner Is
restored to society, to again prey upon
tts. fellow-eitizens, and violate the
laws, are usually tho names Of prom
inent politicians, and the real grounds
Of. the application for pardon are
the political services Of the convict.
The pardoning power when 1t can
be reached through these Influences Is
d~emoralizing In the extreme. AS a
Chicago contemporary says: 1.-The
grounds justly warranting a pardon
ofmhigation Of sentence are quite rs
susceptible Of legal definition as are
the grounds for punishment, and
should be as accurately described.
This dous-pardons for which no rea-
son can be assigned that does not re-
solve itself into mere favoritism being
prohibited-the remission Of sentence
would depend upon whether the testi-
msny In support Of the application
brought It within the rules. The de-
termination Of this Is a judicial fune-
ton, and could only appropriately be
entrusted to q board or tribunal Gre
ated for that purpose"
OF course 1t Is not proposed to en-
tlrely abolish the pardoning power.
We cite the constitution Of Florida as
a model In this respect. There the
~pardoning power Is placed In the
hands Of the Governor, the Attorney
General and the three Supreme Court
Judges, q majority only having the
power to extend clemency. Surely
this Ia . wise provision, As three men
"A mnjority-are not as likely to be
mfsled, or improperly influenced, as
one man would be. Agaih, three Of
the pardoning tribunal being lawyers,
they would be the best judges whether
any legal technicalities or informali.
ties In the trial Of the prisoner war
ranted his pardon or not. This Is a
grave matter. and should receive the
more critical attention Of the press
throughout the country.
