New YORK. June 11-At last nights

him remember his God, and study books.
The consequence is Garfield is one OF the
best read men in the land to-day. 1t is

Perhaps there is nothing more injurious
to the cause of exact justice than an incom-
petent jury. Some OF the verdicts which
have from time to time have graced our
law records are once pitiful and l%aughable.
For instance, we have all heard of the sug-
gestive verdict rendered in the very far
West in a case of trespass. When the fore
man was asked whether the prisoner was
guilty or innocent he replied. Not guilty
if he will leave the State" 1t is about
equal to the verdict Of twelve colored men,
who declared of a man who had beech ares
ted for chicken Stealing that he was mot
guilty, but mustn't do it again. In point
of appalling ignorance. however, both Of
them instances yield a palm to a backwoods
jury who sat Oh a case involving the theft
Of a hog not guilty, and recommended both
the plaintiff and defendant to the mercy Of
the Court.

An UnfuIfiEIed Prophecy OF

IF George Washington, like the sew
en- sleepers of Ephesus, could wake up
and contemplate bis unfalfilled proph
ecies and predictions, he would, says
a writer in the Columbus (O.) State
Journal retire to some lonely sepulchre
outside Of Virginia with mingled el-
ings of pity and disgust.
In 1895, in writing to Sir John III
clair, of England of his Mount Vernon
estate ard it's advantages, Washing
ton said that "although he might in
cur the charge Of pArtiality 10 hazard
iOg .such an opinion at that time. 9

lands on the waters Of tbs P0tor )
would in few years be ia greater :
mand and in higher estimation than
in any part of the United States" In
speaking of the close proximity of this
estate to Washington, the then pro-
posed federal capital, he said, after enu~
meratipg its great advantages: "there-

buyers at $40 to SIS an acre, and land

exhibited much qualification at the
hearty reception. He ordered the
cover of the carriage thrown back
and joked and talked with the
crowd that surrounded the vehicle.
After two or three dozen persons
had grasped his hand the two ac>

from turning himself out,
as they feared serious

in good condition. He has eaten OF

effects.
