girls fell in a fit. The others told the
men, as we'll as they could though their
fear and excitement, that Lucy Smith
was lying in the berry patch, and that
a big norm had killed her and was eating
her up. They Immediately FASTENED into
the patch, where they beheld sight
which was enough to make the blood Of
the strongest man run cold. There lay
the unfortunate girl in a dead swoon, and
in her lap lay large milk snake, which
was very jealous Of its prey. The con.
duct Of the hideous reptile rs the men
approached was peculiar in the extreme.
With its hood and head distended, its
red jaws wide open, its long supple
tongue striking maliciously right and
left, il ran around its victim almost erect
on its tail, kissing savagely, and making
that strange grinding noise which is pos
sessed by only one reptile Of the snake
family-the milk snake. Rage, jealousy
and excitement had made the creature as
supple as cat, so that il was almost i'm
possible to strike it with a stone; besides,
the men were afraid to throw with any
force from a fear Of striking the prostate
and helpless child. Sometimes the
reptile charged with such rapidity ard
fury that the men we're forced to retreat,
when the creature would return 10
its victim and coil itself in her lap. For.
tunately neighbor, seeing the disturb.
ance, arrived with Ipitchfork and sue.
q eded in TRANSMITTING the snake, which
measured :hree feet four inches in length.
and seven inches in circumference at the
largest part Of its body. The unfortu-
nate girl was carried home, when it was
found that her leg was terribly swollen
and Of spotted green cOler like that Of
the snake itself. The mother of the
child, without the slightest hesitation,
commenced to suck the wound, and soon
redu ed the swelling and drove away the
color, after which a drawing poultice of
red cabbage was applied, and ere morning
all signs Of swelling had disappeared.
The girl has now thoroughly recovered
and has sustained no serious injuries
save a shock of the nervous system from
which her young frame will soon re.
cover.

dict that eleven men may freely decide
upon. The law does its best TO make
every juror incompetent, by insisting
that he shall be so little intelligent in
current affairs as to have no opinion con-
corning them, as they may relate to cases
in hand.
But there is something further than
this to be said against juries. The fact
that their service is compulsory is m out
rage upon the rights of the citizen. There
is no other civil or judicial service into
which men are compelled but this. In
time Of war, the State can compel the
service Of her sons for her defense, if
they do not volunteer; but state of war
is altogether an exceptional condition. In
a condition of peace, any compulsory SER
vice in the making or administration of
law is essen TALLY hardship and an out
rage. To be forced to compel this service
is to acknowledge slavery to precedent,
and confess to scantness Of resources.
To force men unpaid, or only inadequate.
ly paid, into the service Of the courts, to
drag them away from their business or
their families, iTprison them under the
charge of officers, and annoy them for
days, or weeks, or months, as the case
may be, with the details of affairs in
which they have no interest whatever, is
oppression, against which our people
would have kicked long ago, but for this
halucination about the sacrcdness of the
jury trial. People do not see how we
can get along without it.
Well, Mr.. Bowles and Mr.. Willis got
along without it. We should very much
prefer to leave case Of ours with three
men trained in the law, or to one man &C
customed to comparing and measuring
evidence, than to twelve men selected by
lot from the realm Of acknowledged mex
perience and incompetency. After one
has picked out the three best men on a
jury, he has a better jury in
the three than in the nine
which are left. A sum is not in
creased by piling ciphers upon it. The
simple truth is that the jury system is
outlived and ought to be outlawed. 1t
does not help the cause of law and jus.
tice, and ought to be kicked out Of the
way. 1t is oppressive to the juror, it is
anomalous in our system of government,
it makes the uncertainty Of the law still
more uncertain, it is expensive, and it is
unnecessary. There is nothing sacred
about it. To be tried by a mans peers
is not half so good thing as to be tried
by mans intellectual and moral supe-
riors.
Why will not the political press, which
has such large influence in legislation.
take up this wretched old humbug, and
help to dispose of it forever If we can
not get rid of it at once, let us reform it,
by reducing its members, calling for
higher qualifications in its constituents,
and taking our verdicts from the ma.
iority.

silver only iron pyrltes; iron ores, re-
sulting from decomposition; mispickie,
graphite, black tourmaline, rose quartz,
garnets and staurotide, as neurological
curiosities. In testing the deposits on
Spring Greek worked out particularly
rich spot, where an old channel had been
cut across by the present bed of the
creek, and in ten hours work with small
s.uice obtained five-sixths of an ounce of
gold, or about 1850. The soldiers had
previously PANIED out of the same place
not less than two ounces Of coarse gold,
and on measuring the amount of gravel
washed found that the total WELD was
at the rate Of SO per cubic yard, or about
three cents to the pan, as an average for
the whole thickness of the deposit. 1t
was truly said of this region that there
was gold in the very roots Of the grass,
but it is not the gold of the gravel bars
or quartz lodges; not the gold Of the mi
ner or the geologist, but the future solid
worth of the Black Hills that is to be
sought in the luxuriant growth Of fine
grasses that everywhere spread over the
beautiful country.
THE CLIMATE OF THE HILLS.
severity Of the winters, the danger of the
crops being injured by frosts, and the
agricultural products best suited to the
soil, can only judge by examining the
fora OF the region along the eastern slope
where the elevation is $500 to $500 feet
above the sea. The valleys are filled
with a fair growth of burr oak, elm, horn
bean, box elder, white birch, aspen and
hazel. The conspicuous plants are the
tiger lily, the poison ivy and Virginia
creeper, grape vines, wild fax, hops and
oats, while raspberries, black and red
currants, gooseberries, plums, straw
berries and other berries are in places
quite abundant From this ! assume
that the climate is not more severe than
that of Maine and New Hampshire,
where many of the same plants
grow and ripen their fruits. While the
season is not long or hot enough for corn,
yet wheat, oats, barley, flax, hops and po-
tatoes would grow here luxuriantly. The
rainfall is quite remarkable. Scarcely
day passes without a shower of rain,
though perhaps lasting only a few min
utes. Heavy rains of long duration only
occasionally occur; but thunder storms
are very prevalent and numerous. Trees
may be seen ali over the Hills showing
the marks of lightning. The elevation
above the sea makes the climate cool and
healthy, while the heavy dews and fire.
quent showers of rain keep the country
carpeted with luxuriant growth of grass
always green. WALTER P. JESNEY,
