Die body, that We involuntarily take off our
hat and wonder how a single one could
return without being conveyed in am am
bulance. IL legislatures in every State in
the Union will do as well as ours did last
winter. litigation Will be the best business

legislator to devote all his valuable time,
for three months or more, and that is,
times are hard and they might just as well
earn good living as toasting their shins

The Valparaiso Tidette favors reducing
the regular panels of iuries to six men.
The better plan would be To abolish juries
altogether. The jury system is some
what of farce In causes heard by the
juries the jury is made to decide on the
law and the evidence. Even when the
charge of the court is made as to what the
law is, only about one juror in a million is
able to apply it to the testimony in its APP
propriate bearing. The judge of the court
is competent man to determine what the
law is and he should also he required to

A Newspaper Mans Valentine.

We have received our valentine for
this year. 1t is not n pretty one, but
what it lacks in beauty is made up in
mastery coloring and skillful handling.
The title is " A Newspaper Man" and
represents dropsical-headed chap with
n luminous nose and green cont and
a red pair of trousers going through a
piece of ten-cent muslin with a formid-
able pair of shears. You may have no
ticed that all editors wear green coats
and red pantaloons. A quill inserted be-
hind comprehensive ear exhibits much
feeling, and is unlike anything found in
medieval art Very much unlike it. The
color in the nose is laid ON with a reck-
less lavishness and brush, and doesn't
suggest the Goittesque style of paint
ing to any appreciable extent. The alb
breviated coat-tails are remarkable for
breadth of effect and absence of feeling,
and are painted in a rather low tone.
The pose of the figure is easy and grace
full, as is natural with editors. The deli
cate modelling of the feet reminds one
more OF n pair of gunboats than the
early Christian frescoes. They appear
to cover the whole ground--or perhaps
we should say the whole floor. The but
tons on the coat lack strength and holes
to push the needle through, while the
shirt collar is terribly real and happily
conceived. The artist has thrown con-
siderable soul in the newspaper mans
shirt collar The legs of the table are
patterned after the Gothic style of
architecture, and are rather weak; but
the paste-pot on the floor is full of ten
derness and feeling and paste. The
brush which reposes gently in the pot
betrays a master hand ana a snort han
die. The shears, with which the editor
is supposed to be molding public opin-
ion, are bold, sharp and vigorous, the
rivet being particularly well painted and
oiled. His head is so bare that it barely
invites criticism. All the details of the
picture are faithfully worked out with
one exception There is marked alb
sence of Il newspaper bore going through
the pile of exchanges in the right hand
foreground With this defect remedied,
the whole picture would be so real and
life-like that tramp printer would
naturally salute the counterfeit editor
with, "Have walked from Reading
haven't had a bite to eat for two days

to go to Philadelphia ?'-No,risto,On

A Contest with n Bear.

Mr.. Henry Strong, now ut home from
the plains on n visit, tells very good
bear story in which he took an active part.
One very hot day he started out on n
round up with two other men, one of
whom, like himself, was mounted on good
horse, and the other on young broncho
On account of the excessive heat, they
left their rifles and revolvers in camp, and
took nothing but their lariat ropes with
them. When about fourteen miles from
camp they found large cinnamon bear
out on the plains, and, with such weap-
ons as they had, proceeded to attack and
kill it. Mr.. Strong threw his rope over
the bears head, but before he could
tighten it the bear struck it with his paw,
and was caught by the rope around his
leg. near the shoulder. 1t was then the
bears turn to attack, and it required
pretty skillful horsemanship TO escape
the attacks of the Infatuated bear. The
idea never entered the minds OF these
men to let the bear go. After Il time the
other well-mounted man got n chance tC
throw his rope and caught the bear 10y
one of it's hind legs. The bear then made
charge upon the man mounted ON the
broncho. The broncho was too terrified
to run, but, after the bear had torn its
launches badly and wounded the rider,
it succeeded in kicking the bear away
After this had been going on for some
time this man dismounted, and, while the
other men stretched the bear out as vel
as they could with their ropes, stabbed il
with a jack-knife repeatedly, until, from
loss of blood and fatigue, it gave up the
fight and suffered itself to be killed. Tn,
struggle lasted about three hours. The
bear was estimated to weigh about sever
hundred pounds. After SHINING it will

to be cut so badly that it was not wortl

The Woman was Boss.

The pupils of the South Jamaica
school are reputed to be hard to manage.
Several teachers, male and female, failed
in attempting to either subdue or edu-
cate them, and left in disgust. Last fall
the trustees engaged as principal Miss
Annie Teller, hitherto a very successful
teacher. She had uphill work of it, but
the school began to prosper, and con-
tinued to do so. The people were de-
lighted with the change, and the trustees
advanced her salary. But there was one
boy, the leader of the disorderly party,
whom she had not subdued. His name
is Smith, and he is Is years old. Yes
terday he was so unrlly that Miss Teller
had to take him in hand. A mild fog
ging seemed to suit him. The second
one he did not relish, and left the school
muttering filthy language. He returned
later, and with his father, who remained
outside. The conflict was resumed.
The application of the rod made him
shout for help, and at the moment his
father entered. He stands full six feet
high, and is stout in proportion. He
undertook to "bull-dose Miss Teller,
and wrested the rattan from her grasp.
She then seized the fre-shovel, and
made it so hot for Smith and his boy that
they had to retreat in rapid order. The
trustees say amen to it. They say that
the teacher must control the school or it
will be closed -BrOOklvn Eagle.

Windmills i'm Holland.

OF windnlills Holland, correspondent
of the Uniuersalist writes: eve had no
conception of the magnitude of these
labor-saving devices. We counted not
less than six stories in the tower of the
one we were permitted to examine. 1t
must have been as high as an average
church steeple. The arms or fans were
of enormous length, and carried 5000
feet of canvas. And this is the machine
that literally makes Holland. 1t pumps
out the ocean when the ocean gets in.
1t saws and grinds. 1t does the lifting
and the lowering. A family lives in the
mill. In Holland there are full 10000
of these mammoth structures. In Lon
don, and Liverpool, and New York, there
is q forest of masts. In Holland there
is everywhere a forest of windmills.
Some are built of bricks, others of stone,
many of wood--of course we mean the
tower part. They turn slowly, yet with
great power; and we learn that, so fiat is
the country, there is seldom a serious OF
long-continued lack of wind"
