The Jury System and Naturalization.

Oe~>A~@%AssA
Court. The manner of filling the box, the
drawing, the character of the commits
sioners and the material furnished have all
been praised. OF course large number of
those drawn have been found to have been
exempt from various causes, such as non
citizenship, service in the fire department,
sickness, over age, ignorance of English,
and the like. Sometimes in the criminal
courts when only forty.eight and thirty-six
names have been drawn business there has
been delayed week or ten days for lack
of panel. Additional names were then
drawn. More care in selection would have
prevented this.
The FIRST drawing of the names this term
in both of these courts failed to secure a
Jury, yet extra care was taken to secure
the names Of citizens. A certificate of natu-
ralization was supposed by the commits
sioners to be the best evidence of prima
facie qualification of Juror. They there
fore first selected 1000 names of those lately
naturalized in the courts of this parish.
One hundred and twenty names of clerks
and merchants were also selected, and
there were between 100 and 200 in the
wheel. Yet it was not till Tuesday, No.
vember Ia, that panel was obtained,
though the first drawing was over two
weeks before.
In the Superior Criminal Court the first
drawing of 200 names gave twenty-five
jurors, seventy-nine not found, thirty-seven
excused and sixty-eight exempt by various
causes, such as out of town, absent, sick,
dead, not citizens, etc. The second draw.
ing of 900 gave twenty-five jurors, lOl not
found, nineteen excused and ffty-two
exempt, etc.
In the First District Court from thirty
six names were obtained five jurors, seven
were not found, and twenty-four excused,
out of town or exempt. The second draw.
ing Of 200 gave thirty-four jurors, ninety
not found, thirty-eight excused and thirty
eight exempt or ont of town.
Here out of 636 names were 2S0 moi
f0und-more than one-third of the total
As the number of persons names in the
wheel stood in the proportion of four lately
naturalized to one other citizen, and as 9
more minute examination would probably
increase this to five to one, the full force Of
the extraordinary number OF mot found
is apparent. Other juries are soon to be
drawn for other conrts, and if these con-
trasts, showing at least an equal division
of these naturalized citizens who have a
local habitation as we'll as name and those
who, in all likelihood, have neither, then
the value of naturalization to the party in
terested will be more plainly demonstrated
than by the ''sewing machine circular"

EXPERIMENTS continue to be made in
France to test the efficiency of an engine
having no wheels, but provided instead
roll; II walks, runs or gallops. II is like an
ordinary engine, with straight rods terminal
ing in broad circular skates. There are three
legs in front and three behind. The moving
cylinders, instead OF turning wheels, raise
the feet. The invention, il is claimed, is
particularly adapted for carrying great
weights upan incline as a convenient sub

these, which Is at present at work on a

AN ACTOR, having seen in New York
Herald an allusion to Mrs. Lowery, the
converted actress" thus addresses that pa
per: "Surely the time has gone by when
actors were considered as any worse than
other people. you never speak OF a convert
ed milliner ordressmaker, or of a converted
doctor, lawyer or shoemaker, or even OF a
editor, though l presume there have been
such. Why, then, select a profession OF
which no more orderly citizens can be found
TO speak OF as though they were specially
criminal? Converted burglar or converted
thief, IL you will, but do not include actors
in your category of people who need be con-

How TO PLAY GOOD ONE ON THE Poor.

Va, who goes about making fun OF the poor
and jolly time he has. The joke he plays

takes fve-cent pieces, and sometimes even
small notes, and he digs them down INTO the
piles OF ashes TO which go the beggars 10 pick

lie stands at the corner of a house unseen,
and gloats over the disappointment of the
wretches when they find quarter dollars in
stead of charrei and almost useless coal.
The same joke can easily be played in any Of
our cities. AT the back OF any of the larger
hotels can be daily seen crowds of men,
women. and children turning over the piles
of ashes. If you want some real good fun
try IL once.
