Too Much Argument

During the administration of John
Schley, Judge of the Middle Circuit
Of Georgia, one day, in the trial of a
case on the common law docket be.
fore a petit j1ry, in which Charles
j. Jenkins and Quintilian Skrine
were on opposing sides, a juror, af-
ter the conclusion of Mr.. Jenkins's
argument and the introduction OF
Mr.. Skrine's suddenly rose, left the
box and rushed out of the court-
house. Being brought back, to the
Courts indignant demand why he
had taken such liberty he answer
ed: "Well, now, Judge, I'll jes tell
you how it is. heard Mr.. Jenkins's q
speech and he made out the case SO
plain that / done made up my mind.
And then Mr.. Skrine he got up and
he went entirely on theback track,
he did, and he were gittin' my mind
all confused up like, and / ies'
thought, as for me, I better leave
ontwell he got through. Well, now,
Jedge, jes,t to tell you the plain truth,

THE "NATIoNAL BAPTIST" in an ar
ticle last week on the Guiteau trial di-
rects the attention of its religious readers
to the momentous question now impend
ing over the Washington jury, whether
a man who surrenders himself up TO
vanity, aziness, ,profligacy and sensuallty
Is therefore to be adjudged insape,and It
suggests that prayers for hesvenly gul-
dance be generally offered In behalf of
the jurors. In several churches In this
city yesterday such prayers were offered.
Similar prayers were offered in London
and elsewhere throughout the kingdom
OF Great Britain in the time of James
H., when the Bishops were on trial. In
that instance the burden OF the sacred
petitions and the verdict coincided :.
When the jurors In the Parkman Web
ster murder case first retired to their
room to consider yer ict they all at the
| solicitation of the foreman Immediately
knelt In silent prayer. The incident
was discussed privately by the counsel
of Professor Webster afterwards as a
possible ground for a new trial. 1t Is Ger
tain that outside of the Washington
court room there is but one feeling as to
this ial among all serious and right
minded World.

From the London Telegraph,
Sara Bernhardt Mobbed at Odessa
PARIS, Dec. PA brutal demonstrs.
tien was made against Mile. Sara Bern
hardt at Odessa 90 Nov. 25. During
the day the gifted actress had received
several warnings that something of an
unusual character was about to occur.
In consequences she deposited her dia-
monds In place Of safety, but took no
other precautions. The performance
that evening was as successful as ever,
and when IL was over friend offered to
accompany Mile. Bernhard to her hotel,
and the carriage had proceeded some 200
yards without any interference. Sud.
denly, however, 1t was stopped by a
furious mob, which cried, "Down with
the Jewess Out with your money ~
Stones were hurled at the vehicle, but
the coachmau, stimulated by the pro-
mise Of handsome tip, broke away and
other crowd was gathered, and the at
tack recommended with unabated vigor.
Mile. Sara Bernhard, with admirable
presence Of mind, opened the case con-
tainlng the jewelry rhe had just worn,
and flung the glittering toys among the
people. A scramble Immediately en-
sued, and the actress and her compan-
ion, taking advantage Of the Iull, rushed
into the hotel, the doors of which were
at once closed. 1t was not Q moment
too soon, as, while Mile. Bernhard lay
fainting In the hall, the mob endeav-
ored to effect an entrance, shouting:
"Out with the Jewess She has given
US false diamonds. Out with her, or we
shall smash eveIythiDg"
The actress, who had quickly recov-
cred from her swoon, laughed gayly. ex-
claiming, sDo these gentry think that l
am going TO cast pearls before swine %
Quiet was not restored until past mid
night, and number Of arrests we're
made. The troops occupied the houses
of the Weather Hebrews, to defend
them from aggression, and patrols
promenaded the streets inha bitsd by the
jews all through the night. Neverthe-
less many excuses were committed, and
several shops were wrecked, including
that OF Solomon Bernhard, who was be-
lieved by the crowd to be relative of
the actress. Through the night Mile.
Bernhard never closed her eyes, and in
the morning she was found in such q
state Of nervous excitement that she
could not utter word. -
