The Boot on the Wrong Foot.

In one Of the Western States a case
was tried, and at its termination the
Judge charged the jury, and they re-
tired for. cosultation. Hour after
hour passed and mo verdict was
broughtin. The judges dinner-hour
arrived, and he became hungry and
impatient. Upon inquiry he learn.
ed that one obstinate juryman was
holding out against eleven. That he
could not stand, and he ordered the
twelve men to be broughtbefor him.
lie told them that, in his charge to
them, he had so plainly stated the
case and the law that the verdict
ought to be unanimous, and the man
who permitted his individual opin-
ion to weigh against the judgment of
eleven men of wisdom was unfit and
disqualified ever again to act in the
capacity of juryman. AT the end of
this excited harangue a little squeaky
voice came from one of the jurymen.
He said: Judge, will your honor al
low me to say a word?" Permission
being given be added: "May it please
your honor, am the only man on
your side"
A little boy was saying his pray.

and his inclination, for time, but
finally compromised by saying:
"Please, Lord, excuse me while

Tur PEOPLE of this community
ouobt by this time to be sufficiently dis
custed with the City Hospital to frown
n ont of existence, and thus save the
coat of its maintenance, We believe
{. some 5000 a year.
Lisa curious place in which to give
complimentary dinners or suppers.
The County Aims House and hospital
attached, has been under the charge oil
the Democrats for a good many years;
but we never heard of dinners or sup
pers being given there. To be sure
there is dinner furnished the trustees 5
ON the days they hold their annual ana
suarterly meetings. But this has been
done from the time the institution was
established, and it is an economical ar
rangement to enable the Trustees TO get
through with their business without
coming into town to dine, and to leave
the institution in time to get to their
homes.
We think we fairly represent the City
Council, and especially the Democratic
portion of it, when we say that they are
decidedly favorable to the abolishmeut
OF the City Hospital The Mayor of the
city is decidedly in favor Of this course.
In view of the fact that the County
Aims House and hospital is within our
city limits, and is a most excellent insti-
tuition, managed with the greatest care
and attention, having a resident physi-
clan, aud the best medical advisers, it is
an infinitely better aud more respectable
place for such as require hospital care
and attention. The further fact that oul
citizens bear very heavy portion q
the tax of the Aims House, would seen
to render the city hosp tai tax an i'm
position. There are but two patient
there now, we believe and it is a rar
thing to find any more there. We hop
that our people will consider this matter
and, if they agree with us, prevail upo
their representatives in the Ci y Counc
to make an effort to dispense with tn
City Hospital and as consequence, g
rid of its expense. Having never bee

HoN. THOMAS BAYLEY POTTER,

Mr.. Potter is the successor of Mr.. Cob f,

which no speech was expected from Mr..
Potter. That gentleman, however, is
reported in the New York Herdld as

and greatness. 1t is not often that mem

America, aud those who do come, it
seems are only such as enterta II the
most liberal and enlightened views OF

may not agree with our views as to the
policy best suited to our people and

the highest consideration, and when they
