Tho Hy.er Trial.

The Court. house was allied yesterday
with spectators aud jurors when Court
opened. says tho Sitrsr State OF Satur-
day. One hundred and thirty of the
latter were subpepaed. and o. noon
nine jurors had seen passed. The
tenth was challenged for actual and inn
piled bias, aud venire was issued for
tryers TO ascertain whether or not he
was qualified to sit as jnror to try the
case. This proceeding lasted some
time, but the juror was found to be
qualified. When eleven Jurors had
passed through the ordeal of examina.
tion, two Of them were poreuptorily
challenged by the State and one by the
defendant. This reduced the nunber
to eight. which vas increased to niue
before Court adjourned. Some forty.
five jurors were examined during the
day rs to their qualifications and only
four were passed. 1t is possible that a
full psuel ma. be accepted to-day. but
it il not probable.

ON American Trade.

BeacosneId on American Trade.
Lord Reaconsfield delivered a speech
at an agricultural banquet in Ayles-
bHry, Tkusday. Referring to Ameri-
can competition with England he said
the greatest apprehension was felt in
the United States that they could not
compete with Canada owing to their
high taxation and high wages. Since
the surrender of the territory OF the
Hudson's Bay Company, Canada had
become pcSEessed of an illimitRbie and
fertile Wilderness, nca-ly all the chief
land owners in the extreme Western
States of America had sold out. gone TO
that wilderness and begun the work of
cultivation there. He lad heard on
high authority that Canada expects to
oU.strip the United States in the COM
petition for the European markets. Io
therefore advised the farmers of Eng
land not to participate. Another high
authority had informed him that under
NIL circumstances the markets of the
United States would be disturbed and
that with tie impulsive character OF
humanity in the United States the
Canadian wilderness would soon be oc.
cupieI by millions.

was SO in earnest that the young girl
yielded reluctant consent.

An Irish Zulu Chieftain.

Mccarthy, the recently captured Chief
of the Umzuzi tribe, a tributary of the
great Gwazi people, was a draper's
clerk in Limerick in the year of the
Fenian rising. He had relative, a con-
stable of police, who warned him that
his name was on the Castle books, and
that if he wanted to preserve his liberty
he had better leave the country.
cCarthy fed to the South African dia-
mond fields, where he prospered, max.
ing two profitable investments in Lon
don. He also contributed some readable
sketches of the diamond fields to the
London Globe. Somehow or other he
picked up with the natives, and being of
bold, adventurous disposition, and al
ready reduced to half savage state by
his occupation, he ended by joining the
Umzuzis. When the chief of that tribe
died, Mccarthy was elected to the posi-
ton, which he secured by killing, in
single combat, half dozen pretenders.
He made an effort to introduce Christi
anity, but failed. He has white wife,
daughter of a rich Boer, who eloped
with him some time ago. The lady's
father would be glad to receive his SON.
in-law, but the Irish Kaffir refused to
desert his adopted people. 1t is feared
it will 60 hard with him on court mar
tial, for Mccarthy, as combination of
Fenian and Zulu, can hardly enlist the
friendly admiration of his captors.
"A lady says: The best method
know for driving gloves, after having
washed or colOred them, is to keep them
on the hands. First they should be
wrung as dry as possible in a soft towel,
something as one would dry her hands,
and then finish by holding before the
fire and softly patting. l suppose of
course every one washes kid gloves on
the hands; the soiled spots are much
more easily remembered and rubbed,
and they are not unduly stretched, and
besides are not stiff when dry, as they
will be by any other method.
