Col. John a. Joyce, the first victim of
the Whiskcy Ring exposures to be sent to
Jail. is master Of an animated style of COM
position. He wrote during his trial to the
editor of the st. Louis Globe Democrat:
8 Your special correspondent from Jeffer-
son City, who states that l appeared to
faint when ordered to Jail, says what is
not true. All the jails on the continent,
and cowardly correspondents this side of
hell. can't make me weaken or pander 10
perjurers. You ought to try and publish
the truth. But the ass will bray when the
lion is down, and worms can crawl over
wounded gladiators."

FRANCE.-The Assembly is still at work
on the electoral bill. The government
last week defeated the republicans by car
rying their plan Of having the deputies
elected by districts. instead Of on general
ticket which should be voted for through
out 4 much larger section Of country 1t
is thought the present Assembly will be
dissolved next month, and that the cleo
tlons for the new Assembly and the pro-
posed Senate will be held in January and
February. This election will determine
pretty surely whether France is to be-
come permanently republican. or to drift
back toward some one of the old monarch
ic;.l systems. Gambctta and the other re-
pub leans are very hopeful that they can
win a complete victory at the polls. though
the action # the Assembly will give their
opponents an advantage. as in the single
district system of electlns the local mag
La,es, who are generally conservative. can
exercise much more power than where
the voting body is much larger.

besides their frequent opportunities Of see
ing Mr.. Longfellow latest poems in this

publishers enterprise, and keep constantly
before their eyes on the walls Of thoir

made. II is a life-size photographic por-
trait, executed with singular truthfulness,
and presenting the poets head in a very
characteristic and pleasing attitude.
The arrangements which the publishers
make render it impossible to bay the pic
ture separately, but to those who subscribe

The old question Of the division of fuuc-
tions between Judge and jury is constant
ly popping up, like the gentleman through
the trap-door at the theatre During the
trial of the Moller case at Milwaukee, on
Thursday, ex-senator Carpenter told the
jury they were the judges Of the law as
we'll Us Of the facts, and read Il number of
authorities i'll support Of that proposition.
Mr.. IIazlcton started on reply, when
Judge Drummond broke in Ever since
lie had been on the bench. the Judge said.
it had been the rule that the court was to
decide the law in criminal as well as civil
cases. and he certainly wasn't going to
treat the question as still an open one on
that occasion. Later on, he required to
the subject in his charge, remarking that
the other rule, while prevailing in some
states. had never Obtained in the federal
courts, and that in 4 long experience he
had never before heard an appeal taken
from the court to the Jury as to the law in
the case.
