A new departure happened in the
Circuit Court yesterday. Two regular
colored juries were made up for the
purpose of trying persons of their own
color. The first jury was to try the
colored man who stole Mr.. S. NJ. VIM
chester's watch not long since. The
cese was regularly put, jury charged
and found him guilty, and fixed his
punishment at four years in the peni-
Tertiary. The other one have not yet
decided their c4ises and consequently
had to be kept together last night un-
der charge of an officer. We under
stand that some of the officers became
very indignant at the idea Of having to
take care Of " niggers "'for the night.

\ Washington special to the Balti-
more San, says:
II can ue authuritatlvely stated that
the assertion that the President had
lelegrapued to Minister NVashburu, at
Paris, requesting his presence at the
Capital Tor counsel and advice, Is not
only utterly without foundation, but
Is characterized as rebly false assef-
ton, first in that telegram has been
sent to Minister Wsshburn at all 1;
second, that Minister Washburu's adj
vice Wa required, and third, thai
Minister Wasuburu is to take the place
of Mr. Fish rs Secretary of state, and
generally that the condition of things
pointed at had any existence except IN
The Imagination of the person who
was authority for the fiction.
Another story, bearing a similar re-
luuuu TO truth, has been circulated to
the effect that at the time Mr.. Wash
burn surrendered the portfolio of the
Department of state to accept the di-
plDmatic honOrs Of the court of France,
ue left list of personal and political
friends whom he wished appointed To
various posts, aud that his request was
totally disregarded both by his sue
ce~sor, Mr. Fish, and 10y the President,
whI.h gave rise to rupture between
them.
1t is added, with design to verify
the assertion, that since Minister
/ Waehburu left for his post of duty in
/ 1869 he has had no word with the
President, aud that during his visit to
/ the United states in 1877 he did not
come to Washington in order to avoid
the necessity of making the customary
call OF ceremony upon the President.
/ 1t can be stated upon the best authori-
/ ty that between the President and
/ Minter Nashburn the most cordial re.
/ latIOns exist. When he visited his
! home two years ago he was the guest
| of the President at Washington fol
several days. In addition to this il
may be added that Minister WashburI
is the only officer in the diplomatic
service of the United States Will
whom the President maintains pri'
vate correspondence, aud they eX
change letters at least once month
the President thus never ceasing to re
cognize the early and valued kline
offices of his friend.

Ia addition TO dipthcria another formida-
BILE element smallpox, has begun to enter
into the mortality Of New York, there hay
ing been lOJ deaths there from that dis
case between November ! and November
10. 1t il observable that the districts in
New York most effected by diptheria are
almost entirely free from the traces Of the
ravages Of smallpox. The inference would
seem to be that the causes which favor the
propagation OF smallpox differ essentially
from those which nourish diptheria. Or il
may be that while the germs Of such dis
eases are quickened by precisely similar in,
fuenccs there are certain special causes
which determine the form which the contA-
gion will assume. Diptheria itself how
ever is still on the increase in New York.
Against llG cases for the week ending Mo-
vember :, there were 100 for the week end
ing last Saturday. The deaths from dip
iberia last week were SO, against 81 for the
preceding week. Bringing the report
down 10 81 Onday there have been from No
yember 10 10 l53 deaths assignable 10 dip

EDITORS CHRONICLE: = few days
ago, about ID miles east Of Knoxville,
and about ) mite, west OF Strawberry
Plains, an accident happened, which.
in its surprised condition, has never
been surpassed ia this sectIuu of cOuu
try. The accident came about some
what after this manner: ,r. B. j.
Rule and a man be had hired, were
out in the woods short distance from
the house, saving the trunk of "a large
tree which had been blown down some
time ago 10y a tempest, for the purpose
of making boards The Tree hal been
blown up by the 70 rs, au perhaps q
ton Of dirt brought with II. Mr.. Roles
little boy named john, wa out where
they were at wuik, playing around
the roots of the tree, picking out SOM
slate stones for pencils. Mr.. Rule Tor
getting that his little toy was out
where he was at work, sawed away,
until he sawed Off the last cut, when
down went the stump into it, Old ted
with his little boy under IL, unper-
celved by Mr.. Rule, and in a few min
utes the little fellow began u cry for
help. Mr.. Rule could scarcely tell AT
first, which way the cry was, as he wa,
covered en- rely up, buJ he soon found
that he wa under the stump. johnnie
cried and aid " rs JrcuEiHq mn
lsgs,' which frightened Mr.. Rule very
much. Nj. Rule, by the help Of the
family priced Il oil of his legs-JOhn
says: nov Zig me hole papa and
III be all riprt.n John came out uu-
harmed, save the bru sed condition of
his legs, which wa. caused 10y the
roots pressing on them. He could not
stand when he first got out, but he
soon recovered
Had it not Ueeu that the tree had
been lying there some time aud some
Of the Dirt had fallen ont Of the CEN
ter Of the roots, This accident would
have proved fatal one. But after he
came out, it was seen that there was
just space to keep from crushing
him TO death. If be bad been six inch
90 either way, it would have crushed
his little frame to atoms but he es-
capped without the least injury.
The startled condition of the family
when they found that John was under
the stump, not knowing whether dead
or dying, can be better imagined
than described. And the proud tri-
umph which filled each of their hearts
when they found he was unframed,
can be treated in the same manner.
