Cox, the murderer, is evidently to have a slash
ng defence after the approved Old Bailey
fashion Upon his arraignment yesterday his
LAWYER had something to say of the necessity
of summonug witnesses from Virginia 80 to
prove what it would be difficult 20 say, I'M
less insanity. The buster OF asking for a panel
of 900 Jurors did not make SO much impression
upon tue Court as the mover expected. There Is
nothing m the case which should make it difficult
TO secure good jury. 1t has been widely discussed,
but SO are all remarkable murders. great many
honest men have made up their minds so Ear as
they, can DO SO with the evidence before tbem; but
# is one thing 10 have a conviction of prisoners
guilt extra-judcially, and quite another to pass
upon it formally as juror under the direction of
the Court The challenge is gwen 10 the indicted
to secure him against prejudice or personal ill'wil
Int IL never could have been intended TO pack
iury box with iguoramuses who do not read the
NEWSPAPERS. or who are incapable of distinguishing
between what is merely asserted and what's legally
nroyed under the sanctions OF an OATH An honest
iury capable of passing upon the evidence as it Is
given in their presence there ought not 10 be any
trouble in securing.

Mr.. Victor Drummond, secretary
of the English Legation at Wash
ington, has officially reported a
newly discovered process by which
sugar can be profitably made from
Indian corn and sorghum. By this
process sorghum will yield 1000
pounds to the acre, and corn $50
pounds. 1t is proposed, in New

MATED Personalities fertilizers
are placed before the people of this
section for the second season, this
year. The manufacturers of these
articles have had such satisfactory
results from them in the past, that
they claim their fertilizers as being
the cheapest and best in the market
for the money, q claim which is
well sustained by first rate testi-
monials from those who are en-
gagged in the cultivation of such
crops as need continuous stimulants
to force rapid growth. The COM
pany, through their agent, MIR.
Hugh w. Montgomery, 16O Com
mon street, New Orleans, are offer
ing these fertilizers at the low rate
of $40 per ton, which they claim
makes it the cheapest fertilizer in
the market. All particulars fur
nished upon application to him as
above.

to him, but he failed to reach it.
His body was recovered Sunday

A hand to give, q hand to take,
One Drowned by honest seamen's toll
A hand true friendships firm to make
A heart false glitters can not spoil!
I A friend in need, friend indeed.
Is one whose grasp is strong as steel;
One who will not selfishness heed,
But life's noblest impulses feel.
True friends will not falter at sight
Of each others misluck or woe;
But will lend, in misfortune's night,
Help to ward of life's dreaded foe.
You gave me your own honest hand,
And with it pure, trusting heart;
l accepted, knowing, my fri, nd,
That such were few in natures mart.
Let veal or woe, sunshine or rain,
Sweep Ger the skies of our love,
l still true to thee will remain,
Where e'er on this broad earth rove
Be my home where feath'ry palms wave,
And cast golden fruit on the snowy
shore,
Or icy cliffs, where North seas rave,
Friendship shall live forevermorei

Chief Engineer Doanc, of the North
ern Pacific Railroad, gives it rs his
opinion that the mot eXpedient and
practical route which can be adopted
by that company for reaching the
Sound is II line down the valley of the
Columbia river. The gist of his argu-
ment is set forth in the homely adage,
"rhe bale of n pot is no longer when
lying down than WI en standing up
The great cost OF constructing and
maintaining II railway over a lofty
mountainous reelei', +aYs the Olym-
pia EFprcSS, the slow rate of speed
that must be adopted, and the liability
of snow blockades are among the ar
guncntS against the mountain pass
route. On the other hand the Column
bia river route involves no other diff
cuIties than such as are incident to Il
comparatively level country. 1t is Il
sort of axiom among leading civil en-
gineers that the utilization of river
valleys should be the rule, and that
OF mountain gorges the exception.
