THE JURY LAWS.

Reforms suesested-The Present system n
Farce.
10 THE EDITOR OF THE HRRALD:-
VIII you not DO the city OF New York great
favor and blessing, which will be. II accom-
plished, reform tn our jury lawi The present law
as 1t stands Is farce and disgrace to the empire
city. LOOK at the number OF jurors summoned for
each trials look at the number excused; look at the
time wasted and the expense tothe city. The pres
ent law is premium on ignorance; for II l. for
instance, was summoned for jury, and i was
asked If had read the newspapers, and l SAID,
ayes, always read the HERALD" then l would
be told to stand aside as they, the counsel, would
think my mind biassed. 1t Is this preiext that all
business men get away from serving as jurors NO
intelligent man, no matter what newspaper he has
read. would violate his oatn by giving verdict
against law and evidence, but, II all nmsy excuses
are receivable, no man will serve on u jury.
Another feature should be added to the la W, and
tnat is to pay all jurors SO Gay, for 1t would be
voted mis- time to the State to the neglect OF his own
business. 1t may be SAID every citizen ought
to be willing to serve his State; so it
box, has his mind on his own private
matters even at tine time the evidence Is being
given, the more 80 II no be mechanic who Is then
earning no bread for his family. Would his mind
not be easier If he knew he was to receive paw Tor
trained from voting for the reason, they say, r
vote my name VIII DC placed I'd the jury ist, and
WON'T VOte." IHdbasHOWS now lar tucse business
men try to dodge serving the state on the jury II
intelligence Is needed anywhere 1t Is In the jury
box. Look at some OF our recent cases where a
man has been found who had never read anything,
had never talked about any affairs OF the day anu
knew nothing. He was at once accepted. Is he an
intelligent American citizen and Will ne make
competent JUROR answer no. Our law should
be made SO that o man once called for
a juror there should be no excuse as
to whether he has read talked for
no man would violate his oath BY giving verdict
because he had thought the accused either guilty or
not guilty but would be bound by MS oath to de-
eide according to the evidence given. only let
every man know that he must serve ms turn ana
no excuse VIII be taken, and you Will see dinerent

they have not touched the most Important point.

NEW BOOKS.

OLIVE LOGAN, ~curiously enough, is by
means addicted to womanis rights.
She saws, in the preface to her popular
hook, Just published by Adams, Victor
& Co. New York: at seems to me that
there is a useful career, just at this mo-
ment, for a woman-bOOk which shall
breathe the spirit Of true love, and the
sweet sanctities which grow out. of
Christian marriage: A book which shall
stand for the progressive and liberal
women of our day, who love home and
hate the abominable doctrines which
have distracted and broken our ranks:
A book which shall speak for the good
and the true, and indicate the right
paths of usefulness, duty and achieve
ment, and which shall strike homeupoD
the loose principles that certainly are
gaining ground respecting marriage and
home life. With regard to home and
love-sweetness and light; u sunny
parl0r; our cheerful hearth; the circle of
loved ones there. With regard TO pro-
gressive ideas-purity, truth, and wo-
mans honor before everything. With
regard to all forms of error, whether
false and feeble, or strongly
gross and ficentiOus-Get thee behind
me, SatanrD And these last words
constitute the title to the t~astefully
printed volume, which strangely enough
does infinite honor to Olive Logan as a
woman, as a just thinker and tasteful

THE LECTURE OF FATHER BURKE.

Father Burke, on the vices of the
nineteenth century, was ~singularly i'm
pressive last night. He lectured to an
a~ppreciatiye audience of about four hun
dred in st. Peters church, and arraign-
ed our corrupt civilization for being gull
ty of three prevailing crimes-infideli-
ty, impurity; and dishonesty. He relied
on the press, which is the voice of this
age, to furnish the proofs. He labored
to prove that since the days of Luther,
sects have multiplied, while faith has
been eliminated until there is nothing
left save "a haZy,shadowy motion Of the
Deity" n which there was no religion.
bespoke severely of the Protestant prin-
ciple, of private judgment, of divorces,
and of the scientific alterations of this
age, which tended to place people on a
sea OF doubt, or else plunge them into a
gulf OF degradation; ridiculed Darwin's
monkey theory d~eservedly, and wound
up by laboring to prove that the Church
alone had the power, not only to with
stand the floods of iniquity and Of error
that flowed in upon all sides, but to
triumph over them. He prOphesied
that the Catholic Church would be
the church in America fifty years
hence, because the people were too
honest and too intellectual long to
remain in darkness and the shadow Of
death. He finished with a peroration of
singular beauty and power.
After the lecture the choir, in which
a MendelssOhns participated, gave the
-Lduddte in a manner which could not
be excelled by Gilmore at the Peace Ju-
bilee. 1t was worth twice the price Of
admission.
