.no,ber Court Anccdotc.

Referring to the joke told by the Dis
nofch,s correspondent from Botetourt IN
relation TO the charge of assault which was
tried before Judge Palmer, when the jury
brought in verdict OF manS'dughter, the
Greenbrier CIV. Va.) Independent says:
"And this reminds Us OF another. In
the DAYS of reconstruction. when Eat. Har-
rison was the Judge OF this circuit, on the
complaint OF George Anderson, Esq.,. Il
warrant was issued against Timothy ;. Tor
stealing saddle in Monroe county.
Timothy was tried for the offence and ac-
Quilted. Desiring further vindicatlon ana
a part Of Squire Alderson's estate, Timothy
Instituted an action for damages against the
Squire for malicious prosecution In the
Circuit Court of Monroe county. Inc
cause came on for trial, the defendant
pleaded justification and not guilty, and
one Of Nat. HarTison's celebrated luries OF
.bug-eaters from the wilds OF New river
was placed in the box, and sworn to try the
issues in the case. The proof was heard,
and of course there was considerable evil
dence tending to show that Timothy had
stolen the saddle. The case was fully ar
gued. and submitted TO the jury. They re-
tired. and after much delay and delibera-
ton they returned into court, and the fore
man announced that seven were for find
ing Timothy guilty Of stealing the saddle
and sending him to the penitentiary, and
that the other five also believed that he
stole the saddle, but had some doubt rs to
whether that was the question to be de-
cided. consequently the jury desired in
structons from the court. The court dis
charged the jury in disgust. and the plain
tiff dismissed his action, congratlllating
himself that he had escaped so well from
the divided wisdom Of iur! OF New-riyer
loyai bug-eaters.'

which accounts for the difference.
The colored children are provided with
separate schools; their schools are
cOmmodious, and the funds for build
ing them are largely provided by Con-
gress. The old argument that negroes
are mentally inferior is not sustained
by facts. IF ANY one is skeptical on this
point, he has only to witness the pub
lie examinations Of the schools -White
and black-and the evidence cannot
fail to dispel doubts as to the equal
ability Of the two races in the acquire
ment of book learning. It is,
however, claimed that children
of the present negro generation
are not proper specimens OF the
race a half century ago. That may
be true; the black-faced African was
becoming rather scarce before slavery
was abolished by Lincoln's proclama-
ton in 1868. The northern negro-hat-
ing Democrats twenty years ago pre-
dicted that if the negroes were eman-
cipated, the result would be the ANAL
gamation of the races. These false
prophets are now obliged to confess
their stupidity. The granting the slaves
their freedom, instead of leading to
amalgamation, arrested almost entire
ly the bleaching of the negro race.
The religious condition, manners and
customs of the colored population of
Washington will be noticed in another
letter. T.

happens that the brilliant scholar is
sadly deficient in those manly qualities
winch are the only guarantee of sue
cess In life: common sense. untiring in
dustry, energy, and perseverance. No
man has ever risen to distinction nv
unculuyated genius alone, bnt if at

one or two studies, while his claSsmate
can accomplish twice as much in the
same time, then the latter must have
two or four studies, as the case NAV
be. Compel each scholar to do all he
is able to do, then each will be equally
benefited by the discipline of school
life. Treat the dull scholar with slim
ulants, the timid with announcement.

REWARDS TO THOSE WHO EARN THEM.
The tree of knowledge that grows in
the educational garden is also tree of
discipline. Its stately and well-formed
trunk, its symmetrical limbs, its flow
ing leaves, its beautiful flowers, and
It's rich fruit are charming to the eye
and to the taste, and form a refreshing
shade for the many pilgrims of science.
Gushing springs flow forth from its
roots to quench their thirst, singing
birds pour forth their richest music
from its branches; but the ease and
pleasure here to be enjoyed are for
those only who come to toll and whose
WEAKNESS is the fruit of the tree. The
fruit of that tree is knowledge, but the
labor of plucking that fruit gives disci-
pline. 1t is presumed that the easy
scholar can pluck the fruit unaided.
If so, he needs no instruction-Would
be injured by having it. He may need
direction and encouragement, but no
help. Some can reach only the lower
branches, and others, unaided, can
pluck no fruit at all. Hence some need
more help than others, but none should
be helped while they have power to
help themselves This is the golden
rule in teaching. The timid and the
dull need encouragement and inspira-
ton more than help. Give them these,
and they will climb higher and still
higher, but never help them while they
have the power of climbing.

There could be no more convincing
evidence of the sanity of the accused
than his conduct and words during the
trial. The expert testimony gained its
principal strength from the way in
which they made their examination.
They sat through the trial and gave
their opinions based upon the public
conduct of the prisoner, before them
selves, the Court and jury.
The summing up of the counsel for
prosecution and defense are very COM
plete. The addresses of Dayidge and
Porter are especially fne-the former
for its solidity on the legal questions
involved, the latter for the portrayal
of the prisoners character. the absurd
tiles of the plea of insanity, and the as
sumption of inspiration. The address
of ScOYille is more of rambling talk
than a set speech. Its aimlessness is
that of an address attempting to prove
an absurdity. Following the addresses
the Judge made his charge brief and to
the point. A consultation of less than
thirty minutes on the part of the jury
showed an agreement, and as soon as
the Court could assemble verdict of
Guilty" was rendered. The relief and
satisfaction felt with this termination
of the trial is very great. Many there
were who doubted that such conclu-
sion would be reached. So far as this
trial is concerned, it only remains for
the Judge to pronounce sentence. SEQ
vile has moved for new trial. Every
effort will still be made to overthrow
the decision. Among other questions
that of the jurisdiction of the Court is
considered the most formidable, the
President having died in New Jersey.
But the trial has undoubtedly wealth
cred It's severest point-the conviction
of the prisoner by an impartial jury.
We will have faith FOR the rest.

The bill reported from the commit.
tee having the consideration of reap
portionment of Representatives among
the states, which is incorporated in a
bill for that purpose, makes no altera-
tion in the representation of Wisconsin.
Although the growth of the state has
been rapid, it has not been as great as
that of some others. The basis of re-
presentation has been so increased tina:
our added population since the last
census has not been sufficient to entitle
US to additional representation. The
new basis will increase the House
membership from 2o2 to $40; or rather
the membership will be thus increased
IN spite of increased ratio between
people and representatives, on account
OF the remarkable growth in the popu'
lation of the United States during the
past ten years. The basis of represen-
tatlon, according to this bill, is made
one for every 10000. Ten years ago
is was one to every $4,000. Under the
new arrangement many of our most
rapidly growing states will receive adj
ditional representation. 1t is thought
that the smaller states, whose power
in the House will naturally grow less
as the western country deyelopes, will
oppose the bill. But their opposition
will not withstand the strongest inhu-
