Where Men Get Coats of Hair.

A short time ago man "a little over forty
years old, went into Bunnell's Museum and
asked for an engagement. lie said that he
was native of Warsaw, in Russian Poland,
and had been condemned 10 the mines of
Siberia for being Nhilist A popularity

near Tobolsk, where he was confined for fif.
teen years, he said, was that II in time
caused thick growth Of hair on the bodies
of the exiles, who in the warm temperature,
fifteen hundred feet below the surface, work
ed nearly nude.
Nihilists being now somewhat in vogue,
especially when hairy, he was engaged at u
small salary, decked in fanciful medieval
costume, and seated on u platform with
Barnum's veteran "What Is IT," and the
Spotted Boy. He gave his name az 9. Iva
novice, and says that while medical stu
dent in Warsaw in 1869 he was sent 10 Sibe-
ria for disaffection toward the Russian Gov.
eminent. After weary march Of several
months he and his companions reached
their destination, and were required TO labor
eleven hours a day, with black bread and
salt for their food and water for their drink.
To avoid scurvy onions and other vegetables
were sometimes given them, but meat was
allowed once year, on the birthday of the
Emperor. Rude Cossack soldiers were their
guards, who spoke with invarlabIe rough
ness and freely used the lash If offended.
Silence was enjoined during working hours,
but not strictly enforced. When ct leisure
they were not allowed TO collect in groups
for conversation lest they should hatch
schemes for escape, and when not eating
they generally found refuge from their wea.
rlness in sleep. lyanovicz found over two
hundred medical men In the mine, together
with number Of Russians Of titled fami-
lies.
The hair on his body reached It's present
thickness, he said, in four years, but others
did not acquire growth SO speedily. lie
and eight others escaped in 1877, on the
birthday of the Emperor. Tho guards on
that day were supplied with liquor, and they
became intoxicated York Sun.

Juries and Judges.

The following curious facts are mentioned
in recent lecture by Chief Justice Horton,
of Kansas, before the Atchison Institute:
-Four hundred rears ago, at least the pres
ent jury system was adopted An old tract
says the jury of twelve was adopted because
the prophets were twelve, the apostles num-
bered twelve, there were twelve Jewish
Judges, twelve pillars Of the temple, twelve
patriarchs, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve
stones in Aaron's breast plate, twelve gates
of Jerusalem, twelve months of the year and
twelve signs of the zodiac. In all times
the number twelve has been regarded Us an
important number. In the early ages the
oath of twelve persons was necessary to
convict
When juries were first established, the
judge took the jurors about with him in
cart until they agreed. If they didn't agree,
they were fined and imprisoned. William
Penn was once prosecuted in London for
street preaching. The jury was locked up
without meat, drink or fire to find verdict.
They declared Penn not guilty, and the Judge
sentenced each of them to pay fine. Jures
are not now compelled TO agree.
An Ohio Judge was fhtalist, and used TO
determine perplexing cases by chance. An
Indiana Judge once had number of cases
to pass upon, and he gave decision turn about
for plaintiff and defendant, declaring after.
ward that they were the best decisions he ever
made, as every one of them was sustained by
the supreme court. General Bella M. Hughes
told an anecdote of David r. Atchison, who
was Senator from Missouri and Vice.Pres-
ident Of the United States He was a district
Judge in Missouri before he was Senator.
and was holding term of court in frontier
county. The lawyer for tho plaintiff quoted
Blackstone The opposing counsel in reply
said that he was astonished that his learned
brother should quote from an English law
book, written by an English nobleman, in
an American court of justice---a book writ.
ten by a. man who had kissed the bloody
hand Of George Ill At the close of his
speech Judge Atchison declared that he was
surprised at such proceeding in his court.
He gave judgment for the defendant, and
declared that If the attorney for the plaintiff
ever again read in his hearing u book writ.

Some Old-Fashioned Courting.

Thirty years ago Michigan people were
frank and truthful set. Strangers could
come here and trade horses with their eyes
shut, and breach of promise cases were un-
known. Folks meant what they said, and
when they gave their word stuck to it,
Exactly thirty years ago this month a
wdower from New York State appeared in
Lansing on business. That same business
carried him over TO De Witt, eight miles
away While on the way hestopped at log
farmhouse to warm his cold fingers He
was warmly welcomed by the pioneer and
his wife, both of whom were we'll advanced
in years, and after some general talk the
woman queried
"Am | right in thinking You are
widowery
Eyes"
aid you come ont here TO find wife,"
Partly"
"Did anybody tell you Of our Susie 2"
"No.n
swell, we've got as bouncing n girl Of
twenty-five as you ever set eyes on She's
good-looking, healthy, and good-tempcred,
and think she'll like your looks"
"Where is sheY"
"Oyer In the woods, here, chopping down
u coon tree Shall blow the horn for herg'
mo. If you'll keep an eye on my horse
I'll find her"
well, there's nothing stuck up or affected
about Susie, She'll say yes or no, as soon as
she looks you over. If you want her don't
be afraid 10 say so
The stranger heard the sound of her axe
and followed it. He found her Just as the
tree was ready TO fall, She was stout,
good-looldng girl, swinging the axe like a
man, and in two minutes he had decided to
say
Susie, I'm II widower from New York
state; I'm thirty-nine years old, have one
child, own q good farm and want wife.
viii you go back home with me-"
She leaned on the axe and looked at him
for minute, and then replied y
Cant say for certain. just wait till get
these coons off my mind"
She sent the tree crashing to the earth,
and with bis help killed five coons, which
were slowed away in hollow.
"Well, what do you sayY' he said as the
last coon stopped kicking.
Pm your'n' was tho reply; "and blythe
time you get back from De Witt, I'll have
these pelts Oft and tackled up ard be ready
for the preacherw
lie returned to the house, told the old folks
that he should bring preacher back with
him, and ut dusk that evening the twain were
married. Hardly an hour had been vested
In courling, and yet he took home one Of the
best girls In the State of Michigan.--D Detroit
