4 PROFESSIONAL TENANT.
Making Money By Paytns No Rent.
Mr. Macilvaine Mcnamara was an ingel
:, 1ous hnancler, who, in common with othe
ingenious tlnanciers, had a plan. The plal
OF Mr. McNamara was to occupy furnishe,
rooms and lodgings without paying for them
and the way he "worked u it was very in
genfous. Mi. McNamara's specially, il
may so express it, was to be a tenant,-a pro
fessional tenant Of the most noxious ant
virulent sort.
Mr.. McNamara's scheme of operations was
very much as follows: lie would see bill oil
house, and call and inquire the rent Of Ger
tain rooms.
"one hundred dollars month"; would
say the landlord. ;;
. "l'u give you a hundred and t,renty,''
would calculate Mr.. Mcnamara with sud
den resolution.
The landlord, completely overpowered by
this seeming generosity, would readily assent,
and would even forego the ordinary formality
Of 4 lease. Mr.. Mcnamara, however, secuted
any such idea, claiming that it was his Gus
tom Oh such points to be punctilious The
lease .(intact in every c1ause) was then
signed, and the landlord would depart in
| highly exuberant hu1nor, while Mr.. McNa-
| From this Stage I Of the proceedings until
me tune for paying the rent would arrive,
| .Mr. McNalnara's conduct would be truly ex-
emplary. de would make no complaints,
ask Tor no repairs, engineer no rlyalries
among the other tenants, nor among the
landlords. He would occupy his: rooms with
quiet unaffected dignity into which busi-
ness considerations were never allowed to
come.

A GERMAN PRINCESS.

Queen victorIa's Prospective Grand daughter
in-Iaw and Her Wedding.
From the London Truth.
1t is said that the queen has promised
Prince William, who will be her first mar

their wedding in February next. Should
the report be true, the Prussian Court will

repeated since 1868, when her Majesty's
eldest daughter was welded to the son of
the then Prince of Prussia.
II il well known that Princess Augusta
Victoria IL not rich Princess. Her dowry
will be smaller than that Of many city
merchants daughter. But "the money ques-
ton" was left out of consideration when the
Crown Princess of Germany looked about
for fitting helpmate for her son. Like
the Vicar Of Wakefield she has chosen q
n young lady with qualities that will wear
well. Clever and yet sensible all who know
the bride admit her to be. Spiritually she
was nourished on mtionalism Of the kind
which the Crown Princess inherited from
her father. Her charitable qualities, the
burOerlichkeit with which she cuts bread
and butter for the little boys and girls Of
Potsdam and Charlottenburg, her engaging
manner and her soft Teutonic cast Of beauty.
As n German is no German if not intense

sedu bf Prince Williams bride il to be

Scotch and English Juries.

A Scottish criminal trial is model Of fair
nesss and delibemtion. The accused Is in
good time served with very precise indict-
ment, along with list Of the witnesses to
be used in evidence against him. At the
trial the Jurors are chosen by ballot, and
each is furnished with Il printed copy OF the
indictment, with paper, pen, and ink to
write notes OF evidence as 1t proceeds. The
trial begins by the clerk Of the court read
ing the indictment, by which means the
exact nature Of the accusation is openly and
clearly defined, and there is no need for a
heightened predatory harangue by counsel
for the prosecution. The indictment being
read, the evidence is ut once proceeded
with. Any one can compare this precision
with what occurs, and is occasionally COM
planned Of, in England. A Scottish jury
may give n verdict of guilty, not guilty, OF
not proven, this last alternative being
adopted when the evidence appears to be
incomplete. There il no such alternative
in England. In English criminal procedure
the jury consists of twelve men who must
be unanimous in their verdict of guilty or
not guilty; when not being able to agree,
after hours Of wrangling together, they are
dismissed, thereby occasioning new trial.
In Scotland the thing is conducted more in
accordance with human nature. The jury
is composed of fifteen men who, If not unan-
imous, may decide by a majority, such as
eight to seven, or possibly fourteen to one;
by which means a juror with twisted no.
tons, resolved on being singular, as often
happens, is unable to thwart the ends OF
Justice. The decision by majority is ac-
cepted without demur. In the trial Of civil
cases latitude is also allowed. The jury
consists, rs in England. of twelve men;
but if they have been in consultation for
three hours majority Of nine is sufficient
for q verdict. If after nine hours there be
not majority Of nine, the jury may be dis
missed These Scotch arrangements seem
to be in oil respects more rational than the
practice prevalent in England and Ireland.
No one ever heard of miscarriage Of JUS
tice, civil or criminal, in Scotland, owing
to decisions by majority. The accurate
and impartial method Of summoning Scotch
Jurors, special and common, in itself merits
cOmmendatiOn

The Cremation OF Mrs. NOyes.
From the New York Herald.

The incinemtion of the body Of Mrs.
Noyes, of Warren, Pa, took place to- day Mt
Washington, Pa. On the arrival Of the re-
mains Mt the CHARTERS Valley railroad depot
they were Mt once conveyed to the crematorv.
Several inches of snow fell last night, which
helped to make the roads very slippery, and
it was with difficulty the horses pulled up
the road which winds around the hill till the
top is reached. Rev. Geo. p. Hays, who
conducted the religious services, did not ar
rive until nearly one o'clock. After the
body was taken from the casket and laid in
the crib, before wrapping the alum water
soaked sheet around it, II beautiful wreath
was laid over the hands of the deceased lady.
Mr.. Noyes himself helped lift tho body into
the crib, and prepare the body for the retort.
The services being over, the body was
placed in the iron crib, which has gone
through MI the fires which have been lighted
on this pyre, aud ut just one o'clock 1t was
slid into the retort. The cremation was
complete in about two hours. This was the
eighth cremation Ia the Lemoyne furnace,
the bodies of five men and three women
having been consumed in it. The families
of both Mr.. and Mrs. Noyes are in favor Of
this way of disposing of the dead. In con-
versation with each other the deceased lady
and her husband had promised that in the
case of the death of the one the other would
see to having the remains cremated, and
this il why this incineration took place to-
day.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
AN ADDITIONAL TRIBUNAL WANTED.


The necessity for additional provision to aid In
the transaction Of the business Of the federal
courts becomes each year more apparent. The
dockets II the supreme court and the circuit courts
In the greater number of the circuits, are encum-
bered wi h the constant accession OF cases. In tho
former court, and In many instances Of circuit
courts, years intervene before II Is prac-
ticable To bring cases To q hearing. The
attorney general recommends the establishment
Of an intermediate court ~ errors and
appeals. IL Is recommended thar the number Of
judges o the circuit court in each circuit with the
exception Of the second circuit should he increased
by the addition Of another judge; in the second cir
cult that two should be added, and that an inter-
mediate or an appellate court should he formed
In each circuit, 10 consist OF these
circuit judges and the circuit justices,
and in the event Of the absence OF either Of the
judges the place NJ the absent judge should be- SUP
piled 10y the judge Of one Of the district courts in
the circuit. Such appellate court could be safely
invested with large jurisdiction, and its decisions
would satisfy many suitors in many cases where ap-
peals would still be allowed to the supreme court
The expense incurred for this intermediate court
will require Il very moderate increase Of the appro-
priations for the expenses Of the department Of JUS
tice. This recommendation Is commended To the
careful consideration Of congress II il evident that
delay of justice In many instances oppressive and
disastrous To suitors, necessarily occurs in the
federal courts, which will in this way be remedied

Terrified By A Mirage.

In Watchapreague Inlet, off the county
of Accomack, Va, about twenty fishing boats
were riding at anchor. The sun arose be-
hind thick fog bank. Presently the fog
grew thinner, until a few pale rays shot up
above. All the crews were busy ut their
lines, when shout from one Of the boats
was heard. A grand transformation scene
had occurred in single minute, Appar-
emily not quarter of a mile away lay the
island of Chincoteague, with its tall white
tower, its dwellings, its treesand shrubbery,
and little boy driving a flock of sheep
along the shore, and even a little girl sitting
in the door Of the light keepers house with
a doll in her arms. In another minute an
other fog bank rose up between them and
the shore, shutting out from their vision
their own homes. Imagining that by some
inconceivable and mysterious influence
they had been suddenly transformed a dis
lance of thirty miles from where they actu-
ally were, they broke anchorage in the great
est CONSERVATION, many Of them, in their
fright steering directly out to sea. An hour
afterward the mist vanished, and the sun
shone out. The mirage had disappeared,
but there was no more fishing that day.
