ed TO agree the sum IS dead
loss as nothing has been accom-
plished. This is the fourth time
the case has been tried, each
time at about the same expense,
SO that the law suit has cost
about SI4oo already and it is
not near a settlement yet. 1t
has cost the litigants only $50
for jury fees, or fee of S. for
each trial. The BANNER may
be wrong but it certainly seems
that litigants who are able to
pay the jury fees in civil suits
should certainly have the cost
of the jury taxed up to the par
ty against whom judgement is
rendered. Under the law, as it
now stands, all the tax payers
are placed under contribution
to pay the jury fees for trying
the case of such citizens as find
it necessary to sue or be sued.
Where parties take the pauper
oath of course the county has to
pay if the suit goes against the
the pauper.

The jury of inquest on the
body of Oliver Clemons, who
was found murdered in Walk
er's last Tuesday morning, Fri
day returned verdict that de-
ceased came to his death by the
hands of a party or parties un-
known to the jury, The evi-
dence shows that a most foul
murder has been committed
and no effort should be spared
on the part of the authorities
to bring the murderer to JUS
tee. 1t would be a shame on
our county for such a diabolical
murder as this seems to have
been to go unpublished.

BEATS FARMING A Bren-
ham man has in the past year
succeeded in raising five or six
bales Of cotton, and he neither
planted, cultivated or picked it
out of the field. He simply
watched the cotton platforms
and gathered up the waste cot
ton thrown away when the bales
were sampled; in drawing SAM
pies handful of the outside is
generality thrown away in order
that only the clean cotton may
appear in the sample; this was
picked up and saved and the
result has been FIVE or six bales,
with no ground rent, or teams
to feed. This way of making
a crop of cotton beats farming.

What Ii Meant.

When Billy Root was a little boy he
was of a philosophical and investigating
turn of mind. and wanted to know al.
most everything. He also desired tc
know it Immediately. He could not
wait for time to envelop his intellect, but
he crowded things and wore out the pa
thence of his father, learned savant, who
was president of livery stable in Chica.
60. One day Billy ran across the grand
hailing sign which is generally represent
ed as tape worm in the beak of the
American eagle, on which is inscribed
''E Pluribus Unum." Billy, of course.
asked his father what ''E Pluribus
Unum" meant. He wanted to gatheri in
all the knowledge he could, so that when
he came out west he could associate with
some of our best men.
81 admire your strong appetite for
knowledge, Billy" said Mr.. Root, "you
have a morbid craving for cold hunks of
ancient history and cyclopedia that does
my soul good, and am glad, too, that
you come to your father to get accurate
data for your collection. That is right.
Your father will always lay aside his
work at any time and, gorge your young
mind with knowledge that will be as use
full to you as afarrow COW. ..E Pluribus
Unum' is an old Greek inscription that
has been handed down from generation
to generation, preserved in brine, and
signifies that 1.-THE tail goes with the
hide. '-NyG'S BOOnltrdnQ

Industrial Education i'm the Public
Schools.

There is growing feeling among the
students of Industrial problems that our
whole conception of education in gen.
eral. and of industrial training in par
ticular, needs revision and enlargement
This feeling is based upon such easily
observed facts as the following:
l. Paupers are on the increase.
9. Our schools too often educate their
pupils out of harmony with their envir-
onmcnt, thus justifying the charge that
education falsely so calIedl units its
possessors for useful industry.
3. The simpler and less important po-
sitIons in the worlds workshop are as a
rule greatly overcrowded, while in the
upper stories there is a vast amount of
unoccupied space.
4. The work done in the lower stories
Is often exceedingly shabby:
5. Many who aspire to the upper stor-
les fail to enter-or, if they apparently
enter, soon end in failure.
6. The chosen few who truly enter,
and build up magnificent industrial fab
RIGS, with the splendid fortunes which
such fabrics imply, fail to educate their
SiliuiSh " Sstiiy VII tuCu gnu NOIh, VI
to do work of similar value in some 9TH
er department of useful industry.
z. A whole community of prosperous
workmen may be well-nigh reduced to
beggary by the incoming of some new
invention, or by change in the fortunes
or tastes of consumers.
8. When old industries are swept away
and new ones established on the wrecks.
there is usually little power on the part
of workmen to adapt themselves to the
new conditions.
4. The relentless law of the survival
of the shrewdest and most INSCRIPTIONS.
instead of the Christian law of mutual
consideration and cooperation, too gen.
orally prevails among individuals and
all kinds of human organizations.
That all education should be industrial.
and that everybody should be industrially
educated, we believe to be a perfect
ly tenable proposition.-Prof. III. II.
Straight, in Popular Science Monthly.

Newfoundland Fogs.

Next to its dogs, Newfoundland's fame
rests on its fogs. The Arctic current,
driving southwark and along the coast,
meets the Gulf Stream and condenses
the warmer vapors, just as a glass of ice
water gathers drops. The mists COM
paratively seldom penetrate inland, but
in one direction or another they hang
around the island with q weird darkness
like that of smoke, and closing ina
''sea turn they call it here-make navi-
cation on the cruel coast as dangerous
as on any waters of the globe. Hundreds
Of stout ships have steered to wreck in
the mists on the rock-ribbed shores, and
winters journey to st. Johns is more
perilous than trip to Europe, the Allan
steamships sometimes using eleven DAYS
for the $40 miles from Halifax to st.
Johns. A spot traditional with disaster
IS Mistaken Point" a little west of Cape
Race, SO called because of the difficulty
Of distinguishing it in the fog from the
cape itself. Here, within few days of
each other, the steamships Washington
and Cromwell, in 1877, ran ashore and
were lost, with some seventy lives, not a
soul escaping. From the heights above
the fishermen saw corpses and wreckage
churning against the lower cliffs. but
only two bodies were secured by an
adventurous seaman, who went down
the face of the rocks by a rope.
Internally and as q whole-except, per-
haps, in the track yet to be penetra-
ted by the railroad-Newfoundland is an
unpromising region-a land of continue
Gus rock, here and there covered with
DOGGY wastes, and with vast areas where
old frs, killing the low frs, have left
wastes of dead trees that tire the eye
with their monotony and expanse. The
summers are brief and moderately warm,
the springs marked by marvellously
sudden burst of vegetation. the winters
about as cold as those of New England,
and attended by deep snowfalls. Along
some of the roads are seen now lines of
stakes as tall as small telegraph poles,
placed at short intervals, to make out
the winter path. The Vermont toll
house keeper who, after the big snowfall,
put out the notice, '.TOll taken at the
second story window; after the next
storm please drop the change down the
chimney" would have found rare field
for his drollery on these semi-Arctic
winter roads. Newfoundland has lakes
without number, some of them sixty
miles long, and teeming with trout.
She has wilderness where game are
abundant; she raises fine vegetables, and
she, late in August, placed fresh straw
berries on our table. But as yet she
yields to commerce little except copper,
ore, seals and Goldfish. Her people, as
rule, are so backward as almost to be
archaic, and here, at st. Johns, the
watchmen from ten o'clock to daylight
call the hours. Excluding the weather.
classes, and decidedly including the al
legged hotels of st. Johns, the country
still lacks essentially those prime ele-
ments of civilization, a clean bed and
square" meals,-Cor. N, Y. Post.

The Bank Cashiers Vacation.

The bank cashier and two of the Di.
rectors have just finished a confidential
chat in the back parlor wheL in walks
the Secretary with q newspaper in his
hand and observes:
''There it is again-another Cashier
embezzles $4,000 and skips."
"Ahr' says the first Director.
ssAhm echoes the second.
"Ah! that reminds me- adds the
Cashier. IF you hadn't happened to
mention it l might have forgotten it en-
tirely. Fourteen years ago l began to
rob this bank of few dollars at time
and cover my offense by false entries :"
MOP by the three in chorus.

and you have not missed dollar of it.
1 can't restore ten dollars of the sum"
"Your bondr' yelled the President.
"Neither signed nor dated" replied
the Cashier.
"We'll put you in PRISON.
"And my friends will get me pardon
in six MONTHS
'.But think of the disgracer'
"Pooh! Think of the injury to the bank,
rather"
1.-The Cashier lights twenty-center
and puts his feet on the table, and the
trio retire to corner, whisper, nod.
agree, and the President returns and
says:
young man, here is $500 to take you
on vacation for six weeks; 60 and re-
gain your lost health, and if YOU want a
certificate of character write us and it
shall be forwarded by first mai" -Wall
Street Daily Ne,os.
