Shortly after the meeting of the New York
legislature nearly four months since, bill was
introduced in the lower house abolishing the
absurd stipulation that the previous formation
or expression of an opinion shall be ground of
challenge against any person otherwise legally
Tualifedto serve as juryman. The bill passed
the house by vote Of 81 to Il. and was referred
10 the judiciary committee of the senate where
II slumbered for several weeks. During that
time the legislatures of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
and Ohio all abolished the idiotic disqualified
tons OF Jurors, a to reading newspapers, &C.,
which have made justice burlesque in those
states as in other sections of the country, and
this seems to have prompted the committee in
charge Of the New York bill to take action on
1T, and last Friday it was reported fsyorably to
the senate, with a fair prospect of its becoming
law. IL is hoped this reform will extend until
in 10 part of the country will idiots be selected
to serve a. jurors.

have gained, In the election of their can
didate by Democratic votes. The last
great party reorganization of old Wings
and Democrats into Republicans was
based upon fundamental principles. The
formation of the Republican party was
the attempt to save liberty in the United
States. Slavery under the name, and
working by the machinery, of the Demo.
cratic party, threatened every safeguard
of justice and equality. The crisis was
evident. The result, indeed, showed that
the fatal moral and political corruption
known as the Democratic party had not
yet made the rescue of the country impos-
sible; but it was only by long and terri
BILE war that the deadly ascendency of
that party was overthrown. 1t is not yet,
however, disbanded. 1t is still a power
full political organization. Yet it has been
fearfully shaken, and, as we said last
week, if the American people are true to
to their distinctive principles, it can now
be weakened beyond hope of recovery.
But can any man believe that the disso-
luton of that party will be fastened by
giving it a candidate which, as a party,
it can supports Does any thoughtful
man who is familiar with the actual sltu-
alton in the Southern States and with hui
man nature, really believe that it makes
no difference whether the Republican
party retains or loses the control of the
government? Those who are of that
opinion will favor the dissolution of the
party which is now contemplated at Gin
cinnati. But those who, upon the deep
est principles of patriotism, are unwilling
that the Democratic party, which was
beaten in 1860, 1864 and 1868, should
succeed in 1872, even under the mask OF
Republican candidacy, will strenuously
oppose the Cincinnati effort to dissolve
the Republican party.-Harper's Weekly.

A Diamond i'm a Shaving Brush.

THE following story is vouched for as
entirely correct in every particular, and
will be found interesting by dealers, in
shaving brushes and parties who use
them:
About eighteen years ago, two gentle
men of this city-well known in mercan-
tile circles-purchased two shaving
brushes from the drug house of Plumb s.
Leitner. The brushes were of the ordi-
nary kind, and cost, we suppose, about
fifty cents each. The brushes were kept
at the barber shops and at the homes of
the purchasers until about two years ago,
when they seemed worn out, and were
used by the children as playthings. One
of the brushes was lost, but few days
ago a singular discovery was made in
relation to the other; while a little boy
was playing with it the top became un-
screwed, and in the hollsw handle valu-
able diamond was discovered set in the
wood and carefully covered with pink
cotton. The exact value of the stone IS
not known, but it is of pure water and
good size.
There are many conjectures as 10 how
the gem came to be in the handle OF the
brush, the most plausible of which is that
it was placed there by smugglers. Before
she war, some importer of precious s.ones,
who wished TO evade the heavy import
duty on such articles, placed them IN
shaving brushes, and in this way brought
them under the nose of the custom-hoCse
officers without creating the suspicious of
the latter. Afterwards. the enterprising
ieweler forgot to remove some of the
Jewels, and the brushes went into the
hands of the druggists. 1t is highly
probable that there will be a thorough
examination of shaving brushes during
the next twenty-four hoHrs.-[ augusta

The Two Elements of the Democracy.

There are few Democrats who believe
in the principles of their party. They
cling to the old planks upon which they
have stood so long with as much tenacity
as the Abolitionists of twenty years ago
did to their distinctive tenet. Their con-
scientiousness makes them sanguine of
success, sooner or later. They are firm
in the belief that, if they only hold on to
their principles and organization, they
will yet triumph. To them the country
is really in a bad way, and can be placed
to power of the Democracy.
Another and much larger element of the
party has all along had a secret convic-
ton that upon the issues of the day the
Republicans were really right. This class
has clung to the fallen fortunes of the
party through fealty to its organization,
and half hope that by some hOcus-
pocus of fortune luck would turn in their
favor. Despair has now taken the place
of hope, and the Micawbers of Democra-
CIV, tired of waiting for something to turn
up, are ready, albeit sorrowfully, TO en-
bark for the Australia of third party.
If the second class comprised the
whole party, then the whole phalanx of
the Democracy could be carried over to
the new movement; but the few men Of
rors are of the head, not of the heart, and
the grip of the conscience makes them
stubborn in their adherence to principle,
and blind to considerations of policy.
1t has always been found impossible to
carry an entire party from one founda-
ton to another. When the Republican
party came into existence as the lawful
heir of the Whig party, not few of its
members preferred going over to- the
Democracy to following after the new
gods" Not a few of the leaders of the
Democratic party since that time were
once Wings. Should the proposed coali-
ton between discontented Republicans
and despairing Democrats be effected, the
better class of the Democracy would be
so thoroughly indignant that they would
enlist under the Republican banner, tax
ing for their motto, ''anything-to-beat-th
coalition" When, therefore, the opposi-
ton talk of united Democracy on the
third party dodge, they prate of the i'm
possible.-Chicdg0 Journal

and Florence was Just about to begin, and
had her lips open for that very purpose,
when, instead, she gave one of the most
unearthly screams that ever rang in that
old house.
All present started to their feet. and
whats the matter? what's the matter 81
was the cry, but Florence only pointed to
the door, where stalking in, large as life,
was Tom Pinch.

outcry. Every one felt the contagion of
fear. Miss Prue screamed, and rushing
to Florence fairly shook her, and de-
manded the meaning of the confusion,
while thoughts of witchcraft rushed
through her mind.
"The cati the catr' cried the children.
"Well, what of the cat?" screamed
Miss Prue
"There must be some mistake" said
Dick, the first to collect himself. We
buried that cat this evening a foot deep,
and have Just written four epitaphs upon
him, and there he is. I'm glad / said
nothing bad about his ghostship."

'These children have gone crazy, Aunt
Nancy. Will you bring the lantern, and
we Will see what 1t means" replied Miss
Prue
"Oh ~ squealed mamma, and drew her
dress about her, as the cat came purring
near. Every one there felt little super
stitious about that cat.
Aunt Nancy headed the procession,
which, under Richards direction, led the
way to the althea bush, Tom Pinch bring
ing up the rear. going to visit his own
grave.
"Sake's alive, honey" exclaimed Aunt
Nancy, land here's the grave as natural
as life. He must "a been a mole, and
scratched out under ground, if he ever
got out of there"
"Quick, Richard; dig it out, and let's
see what it means" said Miss Prue.
Richard threw up the dirt rapidly, and
soon brought to light the box, and on
opening it, there lay the dead in undis-
turbed repose.
They had buried the wrong cat.-CHris.
