A COIOred Jury.

1t was the common belief here when
Tom Wright, the recently convicted colored
murderer, was placed on trial that, because
of the facs that six colored men were on the
jury, no verdict would be rendered in his
case. The injustice shown to the colored
Jurors by this suppostionis manifest by the
fact that in twenty minutes after retiring,
or in Just the time requisite to take ballot,
the Jury came to the unanimous verdict OF
guilty. In fact, Wright declares that he
should have Jared better with white jury.
Theseeolored jurors have certainly shown q
disposition to enforce the law and punish
crime, regardless of clannish considerations,
that white Jurors do not always display.

What is Intilt?

DURING the earlier visits of the roval

in very simple manner, was crossing
one of the Scotch lakes in a steamer, and
was curious to note everything relating to
the management Of the vessel, and among
other things, the cooking. Approaching
the galley" where brawny Highlander
was attending to the culinary matters he
was attracted by the savory odors of a
compound known by the Scotchmen as
"hodge- podge," which the Highlander was
preparing.
"What is that?" asked the Prince, who
was not known to the cook.
"Hodge-podge, sir" was the reply.
"How is it made?" was the next ques

Why She Refused.

You say you went to party last night,
and you saw Mrs. Smith, an old friend,
whom you had not seen since she and
your sister were at school together. You
had a very pleasant talk until supper,
when you gave her your arm and took her
to supper. When some one came along
with a few glasses of wine on waiter and
offered her a glass, you saw her shudder
as she said ''No' and you wondered why
Mrs Smith, who didn't use to be particu-
lar about such things, not only refused,
but shuddered when she said No! You
cannot tell why? [ can tell why. You
went on with your talk, and little fiirta-

She was very gay and seemed very glad
to forget herself, did she? Very well, |

the evening. [ can tell you where she
went after the party was over. She went
home-the latest person from the party
She was glad it was late, for her husband
had not come home She sat and read
for an hour, and her husband did not
come. She wrote for an hour, and her
husband did not come. She sat at the

A Hindu Doll Marriage.

Aliens Indian MasI says: From Ben
gal paper we learn that the streets of
Dacca have lately been enlivened by mar
riage professions of kind by no means
rare in India however new to the minds
OF most Englishmen at home In India
households dolls play far more import
ant part than they do in England, for all
the perfection to which we have attained
in the art of making and clothing them
and lodging them in suitable dwellings,
indian dolls are not remarkable for beauty
or very close resemblance to human mod
els, but in clothing and bedecking them
no expense is spared. They have room
to themselves, and seem to enjoy as much
attention as live children and babies do
elsewhere. Feasts and garden parties are
given in their honor; the death of doll
involves great show of mourning, and
the marriage of one is quite public
event. In the present instance two dolls
belonging to the daughters Of the wealthiest
Hindus in Dacca were duly led out at the
head Of a solemn procession, to the un-
felgned delight of the native bystanders.
After the wedding ceremony the parents
OF the girls who had thus disposed of their
wooden puppets laid out few thousand
rupees in feasting all their friends, rela-
tives and caste-folk, as we'll as a good
many of the neighboring poor. Seeing
what mere dolls most Indian brides them
selves are in point of age, the difference
between the mock and the real ceremony
is, perhaps, less strikingly grotesque than
if English girls were among the perform

A Danbury Mans Adventures.

A DANBURY man started for Greenwich
Friday to see an iron fence. What he
wanted to see an iron fence for we don't
know, and it really makes no difference.
He went, He wanted to go off on the
$3.50 train, so he hurried home to get
ready. His wife and a vicious outside
woman were cleaning house, and it was
some time before he could get his society
suit ready. In the meantime he opened
fire on the largest half of custard pie,
holding it in his hand and dancing around
and yelling for his things When she
brought his overcoat, he set the pie in a
chair, to put on the coat but in his ner-
vousness stepped on the end of a long
handled WhiteWash-b brush which was bal
anced across pail, and the other end flew
up and discharged about pint of the aw-
full mixture over the sofa, wallpaper, and
his painting and indignant wife She
made remark and he contradicted it.
Then he sat down in the chair where the
pie was, and got up again with howl
that would have melted the stoutest heart.
She wanted him to wait while she scraped
OF the surplus, but he was too mad to
converse in words of more than one svl-
liable, and started for the depot and board
ed the train, and in the seclusion of the
baggage car removed the offensive lunch.
He got to Greenwich a right and look
ed at the fence We hope he admired it.
Then started for home but missed the
train, and, as the next was an express and
didn't stop at Greenwich, he was Obliged
to walk to the drawbridge at Cos Cob or
stay in Greenwich all night. So he walked
up there in the rain, but didn't mind it
much as he had an umbrella and the pie
was pretty we'll dried in. When he got to
Cos Cob he stood up on fence to look at
the scenery, and swear, when gust of
wind took off his hat and carried it across
a bog lot Then he stepped down on the
other side, too amazed to express himself,
and another gust of wind came along and
turned the umbrella inside out. A brief
conversation here ensued between himself
and the umbrella, and he again started for
the hat When he got up to it he kicked
it around several times, and then damned
it down on his head, and started once
more through the boys as the train drew
up at the bridge 1t was terrible strug-
gle, as the bogs were uncertain, but he
strained and coughed and spit, and
howled, and swore, and it did seem as if
he would catch it after all What he
thought as he stood on that fence and
watched that train sail across the bridge,
no human being can tell.
An hour later he appeared in Stamford,
wet through to the skin, splashed with
mua' and with an expression On his face
tna1 would have scared hydrant. Back
