Intelligent men for Juries.

ABill for ~ new jury law has beem
introduced in Illinois State Legislature,
which provides, among other things. that
no jury shall. be considered, incompetens
to serve because he has formed an opin.
ion in criminal case,. founded on r,mos
OF newspaper reports, providing lie can
answer in the affirmative the. following,
questions: If, notwithstanding the opin-.
ion he has formed, he can render an ,.im-.
partial verdict according to the evidence;
and law as it may be given to him by the,
Court? Whether, from what he had
heard or read of the case, he could con-
scientiously say if the accused is guilty
or otherwise? Whether what he has
heard or read of the cnse viii affect his
mind in deciding it after he has hcarrR
the evidence? Whether he has any pre-
judice in his mind, from what he has.
heard or read, against the crimuial?' p
Whether he could decide tile cnss q,
fairly and impartially, from The evidence,

about it RI AS every intelligent man, of
the present day is a newspaper reader.
he must necessarily become acquainted
with the outlines of every case upon
which he may De called upon to actas al
juror, in advance of the trial IN court.
When such men are held to be incompe-
tentias Jurors, the result is that the least
qualified members of a community have
thrown upon them duty which they are-
unfit to discharge, and tl,is is to the man.

his wife, and with oaths, knocking down

r"What has caused this p said the
father.
The son was silent. When told it was
rum, he declared he would never touch a
drop in his life. But suppose that lad
should be invited to wedding feast,
where with fruit and cake the wine-cup
is passed amid scenes Of cheerfulness and
gayety, where all the friends are respect
able, beloved, and kind to each other,
and he should be asled to drink, would
he refuse? Or, suppose him walking out
with his father, On New Year's day to call
upon his young lady friends to enjoy the
fes.ivity of the ushering in of the New
Year. With other things wine is handed
to him by smiling girl. His noble
hearted father whom he loves, presses the
wine glass to Ris lips, and compliments
the young ladies upon the excellence of
isc quality; what wonder if the son follow
his example.-Emblem Annual.

PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-To give some
idea of the material used on the Pacific
Railroad, it is stated that there were
about 100000 tons of iron rails, 1,700,-
GOO sh-platcs, 5.8O0,OOO bolts, 6,126,375
cross-ties, a5,505.50O spikes, and an ln-
c.iculable amount of sawed lumber,
boards for buildings, timber for trestles.
etc. Estimating the cost of the road with
equipments complete by that of other
first-class roads, ($105,0O0 per miie,) we
have tho sum of s187, ,498, 900 as the ap-
proximate cost or value of the work
though it is conceded that the two roads
were constructed for less, andthat large
margin was secured by the pioneers who
began and finished them. To operate
the road there are now in use 333 loco
motives, 156 passenger-cars, 43 palace
slecping.cars, 76 emigrant and second
class cars; dump and secticn.cars, 430;
stock, coal, and iron cars, 725, fruit-cars.
80; and other cars, including those of the
officers, in all, 1859.

Influence Of Alcohol

DIR. Parkcs, +. r. S., OF the Netly Hos
pital, is pursuing his inquiries into effects
Of diet and exercise on the bodily condi-
ton, and OH the elimination of certain
products from the animal economy. His
last experiments were made on soldier,
a Scotchman, powerfully built, and thir-
ty years of age The exercise was walk
ing and digging and any one who has
handled a spade knows, that to dig for
nine hours day is not easy work. The
experiments were continued during six
teen days, and were brought to close
with trials Of the effect of bra ndy. Aft
ter driking four ounces of prandy, he fan
'cicd hs could do great deal of work !;
but when he came to do it, he found he
WAS less capable than he thought After
q second dose, his inability to work was
increased, and he had palpitation of the
heart; and u third dosos taiann eight hours
after the first, completely neutraliscd his
working-power. He threw down his spade
and being q good runner, tried to take
running exercise, but unable, though fail
ure of breath. Dr. Parkes observes;
The mans own judgment at the end Of
the trial was, that he would prefer to do
the work without the brandy and when
asked for his reasons, he mentioned "the
increased thirst, the heaviness in the even
ing, and the futtering at the heart"
And, commenting ON the case, the doctor
adds: AS the effect of labor alone is to
augment the strength and frequency of
the hearts action, it would appear obvi-
ously improper to act on the heart still
more by alcohol. MAGAZINE.
