A Scientific Juryman.

Presently the stiffness of the court was interrupted by the presence of 8 man who came in with shufding, uneasy step, and with his hat in his hand. He halted and leaned against the railing. Nobody took the least notice of hin! however. At last he took courage, and sad: |:
 els the Judge in ?"
 The clerk awoke His Honor.
 "I'm looking for a job, Your Honor. I've been looking for work for over a month."
 "There's nothing for you to do here, sir," said His Honor.
 ''I thought you occasionally gave a juryman a job. Idon't read newspapers daily, aud being a stranger in town l ain't got no prejudices agin nobody. A pard of mine wrote down to Reno last week and said the jury business was brisk up here, and that it would pay to come up. As am stranger to ye and little hard up, I'll stand in and serve case or two for half price till you see what 1 can do."
 "What are your principal qualifca- tions?"
 "M y strong pint is to make jury agree. No juries ever hang if I am on them. I jist lay low till the first ballot and then jine the majority and argue the rest into it. kin show them pints they never tumbled before. I kin discount any lawyer talking. Sometimes I have to use force, but that's seldom. Once down at Truckee, in murder case, there was a couple of fellows standing out agin hangin', and after arguin' with 'em as smooth and gentlemanly as I could for quarter of an hour, I went for 'em with chairs, and by the time I had busted half dozen pieces of furniture on them they were glad to come in with verdict of murder in the first degree, and the feller was hung not long after ward. In Justices courts you can bet on the jury, and if you will just give a wink as to how you want the case to go, I will guarantee to fetch in the verdict you want.
 The Judge told him to call around in day or two and he would try to find a vacancy, but in order to do so 8 regular juryman would have to be discarged.- NeUGd0 Journal.

The Acacia.

The acacia, sometimes mere shrub, but frequently a large tree, was brought from Australia. There are probably now more than twenty Varieties in Cali fornia. The eucalyptus family, general ly known as gum trees, embracing now es many as twenty varieties, have all been imported from Australia. Aside from the great value of some of these trees for purposes of forestry, no tree has ever been introduced in California which can be used with such advantage to change the whole aspect of landscape. It will grow on bleak and barren hill sides, and will assume almost any de- sirable shape for ornamental purposes. In three or four years homestead may be changed by the iudicious planting of this tree as to present little of it's origi- nal aspect. It's sanitary influence has been much discussed of late, especially abroad, and the conclusions generally are that it is tree of great VI lue in this respect. -.Sd,a Francisco Bulletin.
