principal arguments will be made by Attor-

Immediately after these, arguments will

of a colored man who was convicted of
crime under a statute of West Virginia which
expressly excludes colored men from sitting

The Jasper Centennial.
- Last Thursday commemorated the
Tooth anniversary of the siege Of Savannah
and death of Sergt. VIM. Jasper, the hero of
Fort Moultrie. The day was celebrated in
becoming manner at Savannah in the pres
ence of 10000 people. Great enthusiasm
prevailed and the demonstration passed off
without an accident of any kind. The vol
unteer soldiers of Charleston, S. G., Georgia
and Florida were represented by over twen-
ty companies of infantry, cavalry and artil-
lery. The military pageant surpassed in bril-
liancy and numbers any similar affair in the
city. The military alone, including the Sa-
vannah soldiery, extended over quarter of
a mile. The procession was composed of CIV
ic societies, the Jasper Monumental Associa-
ton, the Centennial Committee, headed by
the Thirteenth U. 8. Infantry band, and a
company of Federal troops from the barracks
at Atlanta. The entire city was brilliantly
and handsomely illuminated and decorated.
The shipping in port, and the public build
ings were also handsomely decorated. After
a parade through the principal streets, which
were blocked with people, the procession
reached Madison Square, the site of the pro-
posed monument, where a large stand had
been erected and elaborately decorated, the
American flag being conspicuous. The cor
ner stone was laid with the usual ceremonies
by Capt. John McMabon, President Of the
Jasper Memorial Association. Senator Cor
don was then introduced, and delivered a
grand patriotic grafton, which was listened to
with profound attention and frequently greet
ed with cheers.
The military comprised forty companies Of

PERILs OF ANCIENT AsTRoL0GERs. -
In ancient times astrologers had many
peris, as the following will show: 'Dost
thou know where thou wilt pass Christ
mas?' asked Henry VII. (l4S8) of an as
trolcger. He could not tell. Whereup-
ON the Kings Grace, (which did love n
m erry jest, made answer: Then | am
wiser than thou, for / know that thou
wilt spend Christmas in prison.. Gail
eazzo, Duke of M ilan, was even merrier
at the expense of an astrologer, who fore
told him that he would d lie early. And
how long do you expect to liver" he in
quired of the astrologer. My lord, my
star promises long life.' Never trust
in your star, man you are to be hanged
this moment And the Duke took good
care that his own prediction should be
fulfilled. Heggage, an Arab General,
was more courteous in the expression of
his displeasure. The General was sick
when an astrologer, by way of comfort
ing him, assured His Excelency that the
illness from which he was suffering would
terminate fatally. Since you have said
it,, replied the General it must be so,
and l have so great confidence in your
skill that / should be glad to have the
benefit of your advice in the next world
You will, therefore, be so good as to &c
there frst and await for orders" The as
trologer was immed lately decapitated -

TRUTH.
BY POET SCOUT.

Truth is like gold in the gulches,
Oft buried deep under the sod,
While often the tender-foot searches
For gold on the face of;he elod.
The color is found on the surface.
But. If you would find richer stock,
Go down whore large nuggets are buried,
Go down till you find the bedrock.
Many people examine the surface,
And penetrate never within,
But the outside is slick as a beaver,
The heart often dyed deep in sin.
Hence lives are but base contradictions,
And hearts are oft pining in sorrow;
To-day what may seem quite angelic,
AS crime may be looked on to morrow.
Truth, then, is scattered and buried,
1t is mixed with the gold in the glen:
Go wash all the dirt from these nuggets
And find if you can honest men,
For truth that is pure and unvarnished
Is worthy the search of the wise;
Compare it with nuggets and diamonds,
Pure truth is by far the best prize.
Ono miner, perhaps, in million,
Will pick up fortune to-day,
While others may toll for a lifetime,
Yet delve In the very same way,
And yet It's by toiling we find them-
These nuggets we so much desire,
IT'S only by working unccasing
We manage to climb up still higher.
And yet truth may sparkle like diamonds,
But somo men will cast it aside,
And, instead, they will treasure tho mica,
And say to the truth, Let her slide.'
But truth is the old rock of ages
Upon which our forefathers stood.
Without it there must be corruption,
And with ii our lives must be good.
Demand then, in candidates, honor
And uprightness- truthful at least.
Men who will not bow down to clamor
Nor weaken before the vile beast.
NJ en-, su ch as these times are demanding;
NJ en-, who cannot be hoodwinked.
Trot them out for the coming election,
If our good men are not all extinct.

A NEVADA JUDGE" II is a surprise
to see a young man like you here" said
Judge Bowker, at Reno, New, the other
day, to a fellow who had been whoopinp

with an enemy TO deprive you of your
brains," proceeded the court, rearranging
its specacles and glaring at the culprit.
Now, here you are, a young man of
intelligence and good clothes on, and
doubtless you have mother and sisters
who think a great deal more of you than
| do. You've been sent to school and
taught how to earn a good living. In
return for this you 60 screaming around

signs and making wild beast of your
self. Is that like the conduct of n rea.
sonable creature? No, of course it isn't.
Now, / am gcing to teach you lesson,
young man. You needn't turn pale, for
1t won't help you any Have you got
any chewing tobacco about you /?
Thanltee. Chew more and drink less,

time you're tempted to take drink, think
of my kindness and weep, and refrain
from the debasing habit. Eth -? Well,

THE MAN VINO DIDN'T VoTE.-The
m an who had fully made up his mind
never to poll another vote was around
at the last election. He was heard of on
the street corners and in groceries for n
fortnight previous, and it did him a
heap of good to have men reply to his as.
serton:
'Oh, don't say that, Mr.. Jorkins. We
can t spare you from politics, indeed we
can't
But he was obstinate. He had delib-
erately and carefully made up his mind
not to go near the polls, and no argu-
ments could move him. Even when
men predict that both parties would be
smashed to pieces if Mr.. Jorkno didn't
come out, he wouldn't relent. During
the morning of elect ton day he expected
callers-inhuential citizens to entreat
him for Heavens sake to come and poll
his vote and sCve the country, but they
didn't call. He also expected to hear ru-
mors that the whole election had been
declared off on account of his absence,
but no such rlmors came.
Mr.. Jorkins walked out after dinner.
He truly hoped taat he would not meet
any of the candidates and be rushed to
the polls, and HE didn't meet any. He
expected that every citizen would wildly
demand if he had voted yet, but not one
of the hundreds he met said q word about
election. On the contrary, they talked
about bilious fever, catarrh, the weather,
etc. Even when Mr.. Jorkins accidently
walked past bis ward polling-place no
one rushed for him. He went home and
gave orders that no callers should be ad-
mtted, and had almost persuaded him
self ,hat there had been no election; when
his son came home and said it was the
biggest election he ever heard of.
But didn t vote,' persisted Mr.. Jor>
kins.
Il know father; but the party went
right on, just the same"
'Itdid |!
Yes, father; and we saved the ooun-
try
You did Didn It they ask for me?'
We'll, heard one man ask for you,
and some one told him your vote wasn't
worth sending hack for, and so they
didn't send.'
And now he rubs his hands and say:
by the great Mogul but didn'. we Just
clean 'em right out of their bootsP'

A CATS COSTLY LEGs.-In India four
men bought a quantity of cotton in CO.
partnership. That the rats might not
injure it they bought cat, and agreed
that each should own one of its legs.
Each leg was then adorned with beads
and other ornaments by its owner. The
c't accdently injured one of its legs, and
the owner wound rag around it, soaked
in oil. The cat accidently set the rag on
fire. and, being in great pain, rushed
among the cotton bales, where she bad
been accustomed TO hunt rats. The cot
ton was totally burned. The other three
partners brought suit against the owner
OF the invalid leg to recover the value Of
their cotton, and the Judge decided that
as the injured leg could not be dsed, the
cat carr led the fire to the cotton with her
three remaining legs. They only were
capable, and their owners were required
to compensate the owner Of the injured
leg for his share of loss.
