A CIRCUIT Judge in St. Louis-Judge
Gottschalk-has lately decided that q
man unable to read the English language
is not qualified to act as juryman. In
a case tried some time ago touching q
note, the decision was rendered against
the plaintiff. From this decision an ap-
peal was taken on the ground that two
men unable to write or read had sat on
the jury, and the appeal was sustained
by Judge Gottschalk, who granted new
trial. 1t seems that under the laws OF
Missouri judge is bound to give hi.
instructions for the jury in writing
which they must or may take with them
to the room in which they deliberate
upon the case submitted, and this legal
ussge implies the ability Of jurymen to
read even manuscript This was the
reason for the decision given BY judge
Judge Gottschalk, which seems sount
enough.

it is interesting to note that this is the
seventh time that an attack has been

attempt of the potboy, Oxford, with
pistol, in 1850; of the hunchback Fran
els, also by shooting, in 1912; of Been.
with pistol, in the same year; of Ham,
ilton, with a pistol, in 1919; of Pate,

attempts the assailants were more or less
mad, and none had the slightest politi-
cal or social significance.

THE Mono. The following, from the
Phila. Record (Democrat) is truthful and
sensible
There is a.good deal of nonsense in the
South yet, and the sooner it is gotten rid of
the better for the whole section. The absurd
notions still prevail there in reference to the
proper treatment of the colored folks amount
to an ahachronism, for they are fearfuly be-
bind the times. They terribly handicap the
efforts of Northern friends of the Southern
people, aud If adhered to they will keep the
Republicans in power indefinitely. Suppose
the negro is inferior to the Caucasian, and all
that +; SO is the Chinaman, so is the INDIAN
and so is almost everything aud everybody
else. Let IL be conceded that the Anglo Saxon
is moraiiy.xud iHsUIIeclaaiIy AZ tne top uf'the
heap. What then Are the other races of
mankind to have no show ? Is the negro to
be driven into exodus, or to stay, Ike the

as? Treat the negro like man that is all
there is Of it. Recognize his manhood aud
let him alone, and the whole problem is solv-
ed at once Admit him into the human FIND
lily. You need not take him to the bosom of
your household. Intimate personal associa-
ton and domestic Intercourse with HIM Is no
necessary corollary to the concession of his
humanity. Till this is done the South will
continue to suffer from the distrust and sus-
pcon OF the North and of all civilized ma
tions as we'll True chivalry is to help the
weak. Such was the inspiration of the olden
knighthood, and this was its boast aud glory.
The sneering comments of the Southern
press upon the participation of colored mar
shals and speakers in the late celebrations OF
the Malone victory in Virginia are in exceed
ingly bad Taste, and exhibit the most ridicu-
lous unwisdom. The very fact that the Re.
adjusters appear disposed to deal fairly with
the colorcd people of the State. and To recog-
nize them as an integral part of the body pol
itics, will 60 far to reconcile even the North
eru holders of Virginia bonds TO the Triumph
of the recent revolution there. Messrs Ma

reproach for admitting their negro allies to
the honors and rewards of the victory they
helped to win. They are not degraded by this
recognition. A white man whose only boast
is that he is white man aud not 9 niger u

How SNUFF Is SCENTED The oils used in
the most important items in the manufacture
ers' bills Of expense. They vary in price
from two dollars to three dollars TO over 500
per pound. Oil of roses, which is used in
seeming many kinds Of snuff, and which is
great favorite with snuff takers, costs the
manufacturers from seven dollars to eight
dollars per ounce.
Great quantities on oil of lemon, berganlot
and tonka bean are consumed annually in
Snuff mills. The tonka bean appears to be in
especial demand, and many old gentlemen
and old ladies can be found carrying one or
two Of them around in their snuff boxes
which they have possessed for years.
The oIfactories of snuff takers are very
sensitive to perfumes, and many manufacture
ers find 1t a difficult task to cater successfully
To their tastes. The course raree snuff Is
] usually put up without being scented. After
/ the snuff has become scented it Is packed in
Jars, bladders. or foil, and stamped with the
Governments internal revenue stamp.
Yellow Or Scotch snuff, al 1t is usually CALI
ed. previous to being packed, is toasted or
'scotched upon iron racks before open

Peter Stephen Raposeean, who Sah4s from
France to this country as private Secretary TO
Baron Steuben, was admitted to the bar in
the year 1855. His acquaintance with the
languages of Continental Europe secured to
him large practice, which did not prevent
his paying much attention to the learned So
oieties of which he was prominent member.
A young man called on him for advice, and
began his story thus : :" Mr. DupoLceau, my
father died, aud made will.'
"Is it possible said Mr.. Duponceau, al

the client.

hour FOR any man is that in which he con-
cludes that there is some better way of maxi

A wise saying was that.
Trying to get rich by hook or crook, By
fair means or foul, by chance or by cheat
anyway except patient industry and Honest
labor, has caused more defalcations; frauds;
