An Absurd Law.

1t is sad fact that under Sec
ton $50 of the Revised Statutes
of the United States, it is to-day
a cause of disqualification and
challenge to any grand or petit
juror in the Courts of the United
States "ever to have served In
the rebellion, or given it aid or
comfort, or to have given any as
sistance, directly or indirectly, or
any thing echateuer, to any one
or for the use of any one whom
the giver knew to have been en-
gagged in arms against the United
States Under this we witness,
10 fifteen States of the Union, the
great body of native white citizens
excluded from all share in the
execution of the laws as jurors,
and the strange anomaly can dai-
ly be witnessed of Marshals select
ing and summoning juries, of Dis
trict Attorneys addressing them,
and Judges instructing them,
when neither Judge, Prosecutor
nor Marshal would be qualified to
serve as q juryman.

A Wife Beater Ducked

The Wheeling (W. Va) papers
give an account OF how they treat
wife beaters down the Ohio liver.
At New Martinsville lives a man
named Huber, who had been in
the habit Of whipping his wife
when he happened either to have
ID too much appl Jack or when
she did anything to displease him.
One of these unfortunate condi
tions existed the other night and
he walIoped her soundly. The
neighbors heard the cries. They
seized Huber, and, notwithstand.
ing the eDtreaties OF the sore beat
en- wife, hurried him off to the
river. There a CO nmittee had
the exquisite pleasure of giving
him a ducking. He bawled loud.
.ly for mercy every time his head
came out OF the water, aud pro-
tested to high Heaven that be
would never, maltreat bis. wife
again. Thesepromiscs were, echo
ed by successive duckings until
the fellow was nearly drowned.

The Indian Ring.

A Washington telegram says
there are frequent hints evolved
from the Interior Department
that Schurz is on hot trail of
the Indian ring, which will
equal if not eclipse the scandal
OF the whiskey expose by Bris-
tow. 1t is understood that
enough has already been devel-
oped to warrant the arrests of
several prominent merchants in
New York, St. Louis, Chicago
and New Orleans, as we'll as
several prominent Christian
statesmen who figure promi-
nehtly in public life. Rumor
is that ex-Secretary Delano fig
ures i'll a very unenviabIe posi-
tor in the light of the discIos-
ures already adduced. Schurz,
for the present, declines to COM
municate on the subject. In
portant arrests will be made in
the next few days.

A Lady's Life Saved by q
Cat.

The Suffolk (Va.) HeraId says:
A few days ago we had related
to US a incident which is SO invit-
ing to public sympathy, that we
deem it appropriate to recur to il.
in our columns. Some time ago
the wife of Mr.. Alfred Davis was
confined to her room with pro-
tracted sickness, and such was
the poverty of the poor man that
he was unable to procure the
necessary nourishmenl for her; in
deed, as Mr.. Davis related the
case, the wants of his family must
have been of the severest and
most trying nature, the family
subsisting sor several weeks on
potatoes and salt alone.
During the sad indisposition of
Mrs. Davis and her pressing want
for delicate food, a common house
cat went into the field and caught
"a hare and broughtit to the house.
Mr. Davis took the hare and made
it into soup for his suffering wife,
which caused rapid improve
ment in her condition. The day
following the same cat again
set out on its mission Of charity,
and succeeded in catching a par
fridge, which was likewise brought
to the house and delivered as was
the hare; and thus it was, through
theinstrumentalityof thiscat, that
the life of this unfortunate lady
was saved from absolute starva-
tion. The facts OF the above can
be substantiated as correct, and
are given as related by Mr.. Davis
In person.
