Englishmen VS.. Americans.

The London World says that Stanley
honestly believes that Englishmen are
preiudiced against him on account of his
nationality. "They do not like Ameri-
cans" he insists; ''they are jealous of
America, and their jealousy crops out
continually In this opinion Stanley is
partly right and partly wrong. 1t is not
so much his jealousy that makes the
average Englishman unpleasant to the
average American as it is his self-suf-
fciency. He will not meet the American
cordially, because he regards Americans
as an inferior species of Englishmen.
This feeling, we are glad to say, does not
exist to any extent among the upper
classes of England, who by travel and
education have become relieved from the
preiudices long ago engendered by the
caricatures of Charles Dickens and his
inl1tators. Paradoxical as it may seem,
the warmest appreciation of this country
is found among the gentlemen consti-
tuting what is called the artist ocracy of
Englard.

A Singular Charge to a Jury.

Probably TIE most curious charge ever
made by Judge to jury was delivered
in St. Louis during the anti slavery ex-
citement forty years ago. a mulatto,
who mad killed policeman, was taken
out of all at night by q mob, tied to a
tree and roasted to death. 1t became
the duty of Judge Lawless to bring the
matter before the Grand Jury, and the
Alton Gil J Telegraph relates that he
did SO IN the following language
of the destruction of the murderer
of Hammond was the act of the many
Of the multitude IN tie ordinary sense OF
those werds-not the act of Vulnerable
and ascertainable malefactors, but of
coLereCatc thousands, seized upon and
irnpelled by that mysterious, metaphysl-
cal ana almost electrical frenzy, which,
in ali ages and nations, has hurried the
infuriated multitude TO deeds of death
and destruction-then I say, act not al
all IL, this matter; the case then trans.
cends your jurisdiction-it Is beyond

The New Silver Dollar.

The above two cuts represent the new
silver dollar that Is now In process of
coinage in accordance with the provis=
ions of the Silver bill recently passed by
Congress. Two specimens from which
to make choice were submitted to the
Finance Committee at Washington, and
the above design was accepted after
mature consideration. It is known as
the morgan dollar" because it is the
work of Mr.. George E. Morgan, an En-
glish engraver. who has been i'll the ser-
vice of the United States mint since Oc-
tober. 1876. The new dollar is 2 per
