suries for the DfssrIcf Courts.


In the Democrat of February 81,
1880, was promulgated act No. Of
1880, entitled San act to fix the first
terms Of the district courts under the
constitution of 1879, and to regulate
the fixing by the district Judges Of SUBJ
sequent terms"
This act takes effect twenty days af-
ter publication, under article 40 Of the
constitution, and will become operative
March 13, 1880. The act provides:
first term of the district court in each parish,
and each alternate term therein, shall be a
jury term, at which grand and petit jurors
shall be drawn, summoned and impanelled I'm
the manner provided BY law on that subject.
Under this section the proper officers
should proceed on the thirteenth of
March to draw jury for the first Mon
day in April in each parish in which
the district courts meet that day. The
repeating clause Of the act repeals all
laws in conflict with the act, and con-
sequently repcals SO much of the pres
ent jury law as directs juries to be
drawn Fifty days before the first day Of
the jury term.
Section provides that juries shall
be drawn for the first term of each dis
trict court, in the manner provided by
law on that subject, but not at the time
provided bv such law. The act would
be imperative if it required juries to
bc drawn fifty days before the fifth day
Of April, when the act was not passed
until the middle Of February and was
approved by the Governor on the TWEEN
tieth of February,
If this were a doubtful question 10
would still be the duty Of the proper
officers to draw the juries as above, and
let the arrays be challenged when the
courts meet, so that the judges could
pass upon the question and, if they set
aside the juries, could order new juries
to be drawn for Immediate attendance.
As soon as the judges fix the subse-
quent terms by their orders in open
court, as required by section Q of the
act, the proper officers should proceed
to draw the juries for those terms with
in the fifty days interim or not.
The above views of this law are en-
dorsed by Judge Farmer, Of Ouachita,
who wrote the bill and assisted in
passing it through the Legislature.

A Fisl, story.

A Boston correspondent of the For
est and Stream tells the following re-
markahle story. The scene is laid in
Long Island, where, on the shore of a
pond, the correspondent was watching
the play of swallows as they skinned
just over the surface of the water shortly
before sunset. "About a hundred
yards out was bed of lily pads; and
as the swallows skipped it, occasional
ly a good size ripple could be seen,
and sometimes break from the edges
indicating fish there. This fastened
my attention to the particular place.
/ had often seen cats play with swal-
lows, swooping at them, but the idea
of fish doing the same was something
new to me. Presently ! saw a clean
breach, and fine, large pickerel show
ed his whole size and got swallow,
too, as he disappeared beneath the
water. This ! saw repeated several
times, and called the attention Of my
companion to this novel sight. While
we were watching we saw two large
fish break at the same swallow, the
fish coming from opposite directions,
and each head on to each. Both
missed the swallow, but, singular to
relate, only one fish was seen to fall
into the water, and neither was seen
to pass the other. My companion and
myself looked with wonder. There
was great commotion in the water
with 4 continuous scattering, and
boat being handy we jumped in and
rowed to the spot, and picked up the
largest pond pickerol ever saw.
When we had him in the boat the
mystery was solved; the smaller Of the
fish had, in his eagerness for the sWal-
low, jumped clear down tho larger
ones throat, and only the tail, TO the
extent Of about an inch. showed, The
large fish was completely rent asunder
and killed by the catastrophe. Both
together weighed 22 pounds
