THE WOMAN QUESTION AT SEA.
Female Jury i'm Judgment on . Male
Delinquent.
IogpON Nav 10

LONDON, May IL, 1879
To THE EDITOR OF TIE HERALD
A pleasing and novel entertainment took place
on board the steamship Greece, OF the National
line, while on her last trip TO Queenstown. A
young Englishman was joKingly accused by New
York gentleman OF taking dressing gown OF many
colors belonging to the latter. The Engishman, in
order to provoke argument, asserted that IL was
his own property. II was agreed to establish
court and have the case argued, the captain to act
as Judge, and jury TO be drawn from the lady
passengers. Large white wigs were made, while
the ladies busted themselves arranging long black
gowns for the Judge and counsellorS. The
saloon was beautifully decorated with flags,
and an elevated chair tastelully 1estooned,
was prepared for the judge When evening
came all the passengers assembled to hear
the arguments. Captain Thomas appeared
IN his long gown and white wig and slowly
assembled the stand, amid the hearty cheers Of the
passengers. The prisoner was conducted into
court III charge OF policeman, handcuned and
looking somewhat the worse for wear After con-
siderable challenging a jury OF ladies was obtained,
and the counsel for the prosecution, young gen.
tieman rom Atlanta, Ca, opened the case, the
defence being conducted by the surgeon OF the
vessel, VINO rad donned the wig and gown or a
barristcr. Many witnesses were examined and
cross-examined, the most amusing OF which was
the assistant surgeon, who assumed the character
OF an irish peasant, and whose testimony pro-
voked peals OF laughter from the audieice
10 was proved beyond doubt that the
dressing gown was stolen by the prisoner,
and the closing argument OF the prosecuting coun.
stern old English lawyer, would have convinced
any masculine jury OF the prisoners guilt but
alas the prisoner was young. interesting and
handsome in spite OF his disguise. The jury, after
being out ten minutes, brought In verdict OF
mot guilty." and the prisoner was discharged.
The cost OF court amounting to about fifteen
shilings sterling, was ordered by the Judge to he
paid by the prosecutor, and the same donated TO
the Asylum Tor Seamen's Orphans, which was done
willingly. Such Is the result OF the woman ques-
ton in mid-ocean thus lar-a pleasant entertain
ment for the passengers and contribution to
Work OF charity. l.. c. Is.

UPKEAvAL OF AUSTRALIA.


Strange Phenomena, Geological and
ZoologicnI-osciilation OF the Land
Towards the Polar Regions.
An Australian journal publishes the following at
Melbourne
The gradual upheaval OF portions OF the coast OF
Australia was first remarked, we believe, by the
late MI; John Kent who was the commissariat
settlement Of MoTeion Bay. Mr.. 5. II. White, OF
Hobart Town, has sent an interesting communica-
ton on the same subject which Is thus referred to
by the sydney Empire He contends that the shells
found in heaps in Tasmania cannot have been left
where they are found by the aborgines, because
the heaps contain the remains OF testaceous
mollusks, too minute to have been OF any
service to the blacks, and he attributes the
presence OF bits OF charcoal in such heaps to drift
agency. HIS description OF one of these shell de-
posts Is Interesting. This deposit Is situate at
Sandy Gay, an indent OF the estuary OF the River
Derwent distant from Hobart Town about two
miles. An q bank formed by road cutting, dis
lance sixty yards inland and forty ieet above high
water mark, exists shell bed three feet In thick
ness. The shells have matriX OF dark argillo-
arenaceous SOILS, and beyond being more or less
traces OF geological age. Above the shell bed re.
poses a stratum or vegetable soil a few inches
thick. The shells rest upon stratum OF brown
clay, having no traces OF organisms, and that, In
turn, reposes on coarse grained yellow sandstone,
traversed by veins OF mari near its surface.
The shells are all OF genera and species now
found liyng,in the water only sixty yards in front
and below the deposit In this bed q spoon-bowl-
shaped fossil bone was found by laborer employed
In making the road i've years ago. have
little doubt that it Is the bone OF the pyoidal pro-
cess OF some cetacean. II is pa inches In length
by "a inches in breadth, and presents no further
signs OF decay than the associated shells do. Mr..
WHITE describes many similar shell beds which he
has examined in Tasmania, and afirms that the
anaogues OF these beds exist in Victoria and New
South Wales. lie considers that these and analo-
gous facts prove that there is oscillation OF
land towards the polar regions, and that the coast
OF Australia is slowly rising at no less than sixteen
feet in century, while during the dawn OF the pie
isiocene epochs wide tract OF land sunk down,
whereby New Zealand became separated from the
mainland OF Australia

GEOOMY FOnEBODINGS.

Accounts from The Eastern States of the
condition of aff ,irs, forcbode gloomy times
this coming winter. In consequence of tn
recent monetary panic, many of the most
extensive manufacturing establishments have
been compelled to shut down operations. 1t
is estimated, as the result, that not less than
one million people are thus thrown out Of
employment and deprived Of their usual
means of support. Many of hem are very
poor, with no surplus on hand, and no other
income II, what they can earn bv dailv Ia
Dor. When this class is deprived of labor
they are deprived of bread. and the auffer-
ing which is inevitable from such state Of
Affairs, can hardly he imagined. We live
in hopes that some circumstance NAV occur
TO avert the present threatened suffering
The United States, as a nation, never yet
knew what il was to see her poorer classes
exposed to shivering starvation and
while the land is overnowng with the neces-
saries of life and comfort as it il at present. i.

he had taken in informing himself of wha
we proposed to do the work for, and hel
going off and shaving on The prices; and i,
the light of the evidence before them, thai
the prices we asked were very low, it ap-
peared to the Board that his proposition
WAS made v i'h design to defraud tie
HfRALD from the work, though he should
lose money to accomplish it. And they did
as every good man will say they should
have done under the circumstances, ignored
his propos lion, and on motion awarded
the contract to tho HERALD. Thus we gol
the contract, though at low fgnre-as
low as we could afford to do the work and
live. But it is all we asked. We ha, e
preached economy, and in what we do for
The county and The people we proposed, and
s'i propose to raciice what We preach, a
fact which, from the evidence, was appar-
ent to the Supervisors, or we never would
have got it. For we say, and believe the
puuiIC W III DChi uS Oub III tuC dooCIiiuii,
'here are not three men in Placer more
noted for scrupulous honesty than the
three who voted to give us the contract.
There is not man with spark of prin-
c'ple, had he seen all tn maneuverings, but
would have cursed them, had they done
otherwise. J lie fact that the printing has
been done so low for the last four years is
due to The opposition of the HERALD, and
now that it has the work for one year, al
even lower rates than it has compelled them
to do it at, our Supervisors are accused 10y
,he Argus, of allowing the treasury to be
depleted. And further, the argus comes
in and sarcasiicaly calls our Supervisors
"Model Reformers." They have done
this; Printing is an important matter, and
hey have made arrangements to have it
done in good style, at what they are coz
vnccd are the very lowest rates it can be
done for, and allow the parties doing it to
I've; and they feel in their hearts that the
people Of Placer co. nty Will ask Of them
no more. We have strung this ont longer
than we like to make our articles; but in
last weeks argus there was an effort made
to mean'y disparage our Supervisors. than
whom there are none more disposed to d.,
right, which the editor of that paper knows
md we thought the matter should lie full y
laid before The public, that the Supervisors
my be exouerated.
