Judge Edward "A. Thomas discusses,
in the North American Review, the
value of oatlis in courts. In his iudg-
ment the oath should be entirely dis
pensed with, as doing more harm than
good. He declares that the con-
scientious man will tell the truth,
when legally called upon to do 50, as
thoroughly without the oath as with
it, and that dishonest persons are sci
dom restrained by the utmost soemni-
ty of form. In short, he believes that
the oath has lost it's force as re-
straint, and is merely the formula OF
an exploded superstition.

Nellie Pickett has seen great deal
of wild life for girl of 20. She mar
ried Tom Pickett and went with him
to New Mexico, where they joined the
band Of Billy the Kid, and she being
fine horsewoman, crack shot, and
both vivacious and pretty, is said to
have ruled the gang. After Pickett
was killed she became the wife of
Bawdry, the second in command, and
when he was killed she found a third
husband in Billy the Kid. Many
stories are told of her exploits, whether
acting as spy in female attire or rid
ing at the head of the band dressed in
the buckskin male attire of the Plains.
She died few days ago.

A dwarf II years old and hardly

A dwarf II years old and hardly
twenty-five inches in hight was sold
in France to Jean Juneau by his
father, to be exhibited in a booth.
His purchasers conceived the idea of
establishing miniature menagerie,
with the dwarf as tanner. He caused
a number of eats to be painted so as
to look like tigers, and giving the
Gwarf whip, compelled him by kicks
and threats to goad the cats into a
furious attack. TIE poor little fellow
was literally torn to pieces by the in
furiated brutes.

Gates, of cotton shipped from Colum-
