Court Items.

The interesting case of the partition line
and fence between the premises of Messrs
Keen and Carlisle, was ended yesterday by
a verdict of $7l for the defendant. The
amount attracted the notice Of several per.
sons interested in the case,, especially that
Of the counsel for the plaintiff. There was
no evidence in the case which would nat.
urally suggest such q sum to his mind, and
he thought it strange that twelve other
minds should agree on it. Others thought
the same thing, and believed the agreement
was reached by some other process than the
logic of the caee would present.
The story soon became current that a
traditional custom, happily known to few,
and of late years seldom used, had been
adopted. After trying to agree for what
men locked up in jury room usually con-
slider a reasonable time, the doctrine of
average adjustment was accepted. Who
proposed it is not stated; but each wrote
his verdict or gave his vote for such an
amount for plaintiff or defendant as he
thought just. So far the proceeding were
in accordance with the jurors oath. But
then the several amounts for the plaintiff
and those for the defendant were added.
the less subtracted from the greater, and
the remainder divided by twelve. The re-
suit was $7l in favor of defendant, and the
jury agreed" to render this as . verdict
If this story is true, the action of the jury
will not only be sufficient ground for new
trial, but 1t will be something which each
juror will be ashamed Of When he comes
to consider such a chance verdict, which by
no possible means could have been "well
and truly" found by one member, and yet is
given as the solemn conclusion of the
whole Of the jury, he will find it hard to
reconcile it with his oath.

ColorphobIa in New Orleans

young man of dark complexion was
admitted to the senior class of boys in the
New Orleans High School, recently. and
Immediately twenty out of the twenty-five
in the class left the school. These truant
youth had learned that the new aspirant for
knowledge was a negro, and that was an
lndignity they could not bear They had
been nursed by negro women in infancy.
and had patted the black cheeks of their
nurses with their chubby white hands. and
given them all of chifd's love: tbev had
been supported in luxurious ease by the
labor OF black hands, and ministered to in
sickness by the care Of colored attendants:
but when the son of nurse or housekee
came forward to seek an education bv their
side, the blue blood of Southern aristoc.
racY rebelled and they turned and went
scR1y in rage. 1t is the law with these
people and their children, that the negro is
good enough in his place, but that az coon
az ne begins to seek an education and ad.
vance himself in life he is to be nut down
summarily. There is one very queer thing
aoout this colorphobia. No Democrat or
conservative was ever known to refuse
money from black hand, nor to reject an
0fhce that brought him into contact with
the colored race. No high toned Senator will
refuse to take his seat on the fourth Of
March because Branch X. Bruce, negro,
will then be sworn in as Senator from Miss.

- the election OF . black President, the
fortunate man could fill every Office ct his
disposal with original and genuine Demo

A TRUE PHILANTHROPIST,

Among the first settlers of Oxford
county, Name, was David McWayne.
He bought large tract of land on the
broad, beautiful eminence in Waterford,
still known as McWayne's hill, and
here he cleared and improved and sue
cessfully cultivated, one of the best farms
in the then district (this was long before
Maine was admitted as a State. He was
an eccentric man, but true friend to
the unfortunate, and when David Nc
Wayne died the poor men Of that section
lost their chief stay.
On q certain season the corn crop
failed almost entirely in that county. It
was McWayne's custom to keep years
supply Of corn on hand III advance and
then, again, on his elevated land the
late frosts Of spring and the early frosts
of autumn did not trouble him as they
troubled his neighbors of lower-lying
farms. And SO 1t came to pass that in
this winter Of scarcity David McWayne
had enough and to spare. Some people
hearing that he had plenty of bread
stuff, and knowing lis hberality,
drove over for the purpose of purchas-
ing. They asked him if he had corn to
spare?

They wanted twenty bushels.
"Have you any money to pay for it 2"
he asked.
eyes, SIR" answered the spokesman
Of the party. "We should not have
come without money"
"Then, gentlemen" said McWayne,
with calm decision, st cannot let you
have corn. If you have money you
can send to Portland for it. I am sur
rounded by poor people who have no
money and no corn. [ must supply them
and let them pay me in work. They
would suffer else
And through that long, hard winter
David McWayne adhered to his resolu-
ton. No man who had the money to
pay for it, could buy his corn, but to
the penniless he emptied his gamers,
allowing them to work for him In re-
turn at their own convenience.-N. +.

A TERRIBLE .SToRY.-Dr. Ricardo,
of Passaic, n. j., recently mulcted in
heavy damages for alleged malpractice
in dressing the arm of little boy, is
now on trial for assault with intent to
kill to cover up the malpractice. It is
claimed he gave the lad morphine, and
then said he would die. The child sur
vived that night, which seemed to great
ly surprise the doctor on his arrival the
next morning. The next night the same
watcher was called in, and he was told
the child would certainly die that night,
and the morphine powders were ordered
to be given again. The Doctor went to
an undertaken and told him that the
child would die that night, and made
arrangements with his undertaken for
the burial. Ricardo then told the watch
Ell, the undertaken, and the mother of
the child, that, If the child died, not to
remove the bandages, as it would be
dangerous for them to do SO. The rea-
son that the child did not die was be-
cause the powders were not all given as
directed only a portion of them given
the attendant and the mother being
alarmed at the excessive size Of the dose.
Seeing that the child did not die, Mrs.
Schaner sent for DR.. Watson, an old
family physician, who examined the
wounded ann, and found that it was
partially decayed, the flesh fairly falling
off from the bone. The arm was ampu-
tated, and the unfortunate little boy
(now ten years old recovered. Tt is
alleged that DR.. Ricardo told DR.. Wat
son, in sort of professional confidence,
that he chad given the child twentYfour
grains of morphine-more than it took
to kill Jim Fisk" These were facts
that the counsel Of the state proposed
to prove,

LEARN A TRADE.-You have heard,
perhaps, of the clerk who had faithfully
served Stephen Girard from boyhood to
manhood. On the twenty-irst anniver-
sary of his birthday he went to his mas
ter and told him his time was up, and he
certainly expected important promotion
in the merchants service. But Girard
said to him:
every well. Now so and learn a
trade"
'sWhat trade, sir %
'sGood barrels and butts must be in
demand while you live. Go and learn
the cooper's trade, and when you have
made perfect barrel bring it to me"
The young man went away and learn
ed the trade. and in time he brought to
his old master splendid barrel of his
OWE make.
Gifard examined it, and gave the
maklr $4,000 for it, and then said to
him:
Nov, sir. want you in my count
ing-r6om; but henceforth you viii
not be dependent upon the whim of
Stephen Girard. Let what viii come,
you have a good trade always in re-
serve"
The young man saw the wisdom and
understood.

INDIAN TRADITION. the Sem

INDIAN TRADTrIoN.-Among the Sem
mole Indians there is q singular tradi-
ton regarding the white mans origin
and superiority. They say that when
the Spirit made the earth, he also
made three men, all of whom were OF a
very fair complexion; and that after
making them, he led them to the marg-
in of a small lake and babe them leap
therein. One Immediately obeyed, and
came out of the water purer than before
he bathed; the second did not leap in
until the water had become slightly
muddy, and wien he bathed he came
up copper-colored; the third did not
leap in until the water became black
with mud, and came out With it's own
color. Then the Great Spirit laid be-
fore them three packages of bark, and
babe them choose; and out of pity for
his misfortune IN color, he gave the
black man bis first choice. He took
bold of each of the packages and having
felt them, chose the heaviest; the cop
per coIored one then chose the second
heaviest, leaving the white man the
hghtest. When the packages were
opened, the first was found to contain
spades, hoes and all the implements of
labor; the second enwrapped hunting,
fishing and warlike apparatus; the third
gave the white man pens, ink and paper
the engines of the mind-the mutual,
mental Improvement social link OF
humanity-the foundation of the white
mans superiority.
