AsnAmp LAM. Mr.. William A, Ford,
Of Caroline County, Nd, has n pet lamb
that goes nbbit hunting-thGt is, he
follows the dogs to the woods, and when
they strike the trail he follows in pur.
suit and seems TO enjoy the fun as much
as the hounds themselves. The lamb is
not always successful in keeping up with
his swift.iooted companions, and some
times he is left behind and gets lost.
When this occurs lie loiters about, stops
at some Of the neighbors', and finally
works his way home again.

PLEASED TIE ISDASs.-An amusing
instance is given of one deed done'in the
early days by the 1ammany braves
The Greek Indians, on the Southwestern
frontier, had grown troublesome, and the
government, then Just entering upon its
work with heavy debt and un impover,
ished people, was particularly anxious for
peace. In 1880 II delegation Of the
Creeks were induced to visit New York,
then the seat of the federal government,
that talk might be had with the Pres.
ideni. The result Of the conference, II
was supposed, would greatly depend on
the first impression produced on the
minds of the savages, and their entertain.
ment afterwards Luckily, the Tamma-
ny Society had IN abundant supply Of
paint and feathers, and Washington hit
upon the happy cxpedient Of engaging It
to do the agreeable to the tawny visitors.
Accordingly, when the Indian embassy
reached the city, it was conducted to the
TammAny wigwam, where all the menu
bers OF the society were waiting to re-
ceivc it with painted faces and full abo-
riginnl outfit. The Creeks were delighted
with their reception; and rs during their
stay the Tammlny members retained
their Indim dress, and devoted them
selves exclusively to their entertainment,
the result was very satisfactory treaty,
and the preservation OF the peace.

THE YOUNGER DUMAS. = Alexander

contradictory elements that make mn tho
character Of his son, says Gle islnzy,
he is industrious he is gourmand, he /,
abstemious he is lavish, he is economi,
cal he is suspicious, he is credulous
he is blase, and he is innocent he il

ridicules me with all the brilliant wit Of

with all his heart he is always ready TO
fleece me out OF all my money like Va.

imagination is the most vivid and the
most sustained that have ever known
in n young man Of twenty -one years. II
bears me away like n torrent: Il shines
like half-hidden flame il reveals itself
IN revorie as in excitement, in quiet as
in danger, in smiles as in tears. From
time to time We quarrel with each other

portion and quits the paternal mansion.

The world is becoming tired OF trials
by jury, especially in civil cases, for in
suoh cases nothing can be less certain
than the results. In the hair.splitting
OF lawyers. and the vast accumulations
OF rules Of evidence, juries, at the best,
may become confused, and, at the worst.
their confusion is certain. II law be &,
science, o like state Of facts should be
followed by like results, but when so
much is left to ignorant or wilful Jurors
this sequence is not maintained. In the
March number Of LippincoN contribu.
tor to that magazine writes rs follows on
this subject:
It is said that juries in civil cases de-
clde the fact, in criminal ones both the
TACT and the law. But in civil cases they
90 not even decide the fact In overy
State there is court of last resort which
ls entirely composed of judges, and
nearly every case tried in the inferior
courts may be brought before it for re-
view. If the judge of lower court
makes an erroneous decision, the party
aggrieved appeals to the higher court,
IN which the case is reviewed, and the
judgment, if wrong, reversed or cor
rected. The very same thing happens
in trials by juries. If they decide
a6o!u6e Cuo WeiBuG OF evidence, their
verdict is set aside; if they pass upon
question of law which it was the duty of
the Judge ut the trial to decide, new
trial is granted. In short, the trial of q
civil case by jury amounts simply to
this-that if the higher court consider
the verdict right, it stands; if not, then
it is reversed.
Therefore, since civil cases are in
reality tried and decided by judges,
why retain the fiction that o jury oom-
posed of twelve ordinary men decide
the cases which are brought before them?
Why not abandon that mode of trial,
and thus save tho inconvenience, ex-
pense and delay that we have shown ex-
ist?
