The Central Railroad FOrgeries.
Refnre IndUe Brady.

Before Judge Brady
In this Court yesterday was commenced the
trial oil Andrew L. Roberts, charged with having
been implicated in the great Central Railroad for
geries oil last summer. Mr.. A. Oakley Hall, counsel
1or the accused objected to the District Attorney
having the privilege OF more than five peremptory
challenges, on the ground that the penalty for the
crime OF forgery the third Degree for which the
prisoner was indicted, was five years, and the
statute only allowed that number in such a case.
1t seems that some Two or three years ago the
prisoner was convicted OF felony IN Connectlcut,
AMI there is q statute in the laws OF this state
which provides that man previously convicted OF
felony shall De subject, II convicted Afterwards OF
another crime, TO double the term fixed by law for
that crime. Under this statute, therefore, the
prisoners term vi lmprson nent II convicted, Is
Tn years. MIR. Hall objected on the ground that
the prisoners crime was committed outside OF the
State OF New YORK. Both oil ms objections were
overTued by the Court, and the District Attorney
was allowed twenty peremptory challenges instead

At half-past two O'Clock the panel was exhausted,
eight jurors only having been obtained. The Court,
having ordered new panel to be summoned for

BY JOHN @. SAKE.
From Harper's Magazine.l

All well 1 love these books OF mine,
That stand so trinity on their shelves.
With here and there a broken line
Fiat "quartos" ~jostling modest "twelves",l
A curious company, own:
The poorest ranking with their betters;
A Pure Democracy-of Letters.
Amotley gathering are they;
Some fairly worth their weight in gold:
Some Just too good TO throw away;
Some scarcely worth the place they ho,d.
Yet well love them, one and all.
These friends so meek and unobtr9sive,
Who never fail TO come at call,
Nor Of 1 seold them) turn abusive.
IfIhave favorites here and there.
And, like a monarch, pick and choose,
never meet an angry stare
That this I take and that refuse;
Nc discords rise ny soul TO vex
Among these peaceful book relations,
MOI envious strife of age or sex
To mar my quiet incubrations.
n they have still another merit,
Which otherwhere one vainly seeks,
Whate'er may be an authors spirit,
He never unlnvtted speaks;
And should he prove a fool or clown,
Unworth the precious time you're spending,
How quickly you can ".put him down."
Or shut him up" without offending!
Here-pleasing sightl-the touchy brood
or critics from dissension cease;
And--stIa anger still!-no more at feud,
Polemics smile, and keep the peace.
See! side by side, all free from strife
Ssave what the heavy, page may smother)
The gentle Christians" h in life,
For conscience sake, had burned each other.
1 call them friends, these quiet books,
And well the title hey may claim,
Who always give me cheerful looks
what living friend has lone the same9)
And, for companionshtp, how few,
AS these. my cronies ever present,
or all the friends l evei knew
Have been so useful and so pleasant

WOMEN AT THE POLLS.

HOW II LADIES' POLITICAL wORKE ON
ELECTION A IN MICHIGAN.
A st. Joseph, Mich, letter 10 an exchange
gives the following picture of scenes on cleo
ton day in that state: On election day one OF
the lower offices at the city hall was taste
fully fitted up, wreathed with evergreens
and hung with pictures. Coffee, cold meats
and other refreshments had been provided,
and some twenty or thirty Of the most
refined and respectable ladies in town waited
at the tables and kept all the voters supplied
with Suffrage ballots. Ladies filled the halls
and blrricaded the stairway, aud ever in
vaded the sacred precincts of the voting
room. Bashful voters bad a hard time of it,
running the gauntlet of so many ladies.
Some appeared TO be fairly frightened, and
others voted "no" on the suffrage dues-
ton, or got away as soon as possible
without voting at all. The utmost humor
prevailed, and peals OF laughter came from
the halls as some luckless voter was sur
rounded and argued into silence. 1t was
the quietest election day ever known in st.
Joseph. In all, save the crowd on the side
walks, it resembled a church sociable more
than an election. The ladies were treated
with the greatest respect, no oaths were heard
and not a drunken man appeared on the
scene,a although a dozen saloons had open
doors within forty rods of the ballOt-boxas.
The total vote polled' was $50; the vote on
women suffrage was 3S9, of which l47 votes
were for it and 242 against it. The friends
of the movement expected defeat, and as il
had been confidently predicted that less
than 100 votes would be cast in its favor,
the ladies were well satisfied with their
success.
