The Human Roadway.

Egious festival, of the Mo,lcm year a
number %. Arabs are seen to detacb
themselves from the crowd and to lie
down side by side in the dust, face down
ward. ike logs u1on a corduroy road,
while their friends, crowd ny around
them, press down an arm here and there,
in order to make this living pavement
as compact as possible " hen all is
ready the crowd falls back, while a
horsemnn coming up from behind
passes AZ aquick walk over the PROSTATE
bodies. This is called the Dnseh, or
"trampling." Each man receives the
full pressure of the iron-shod hoof
in the small of his back, and not a few
may be seen to wrthe under it like
troddcn worms. The moment this
horrible pageant is over the friends and
relatives Of the trampled men rush up
10 them and do their utmost to make il
appear that they have received no in

farce, however, is always unsuccessful,
the groans and writings of the sufferers

contrary. The who'e spectacle Is 70.

Franklin Plercl's Beginning.

The first st.p made by President
! Franklin Pierce towards distinction is
t.u, rclat Il: one man had stabbed
! another in an niFrav, the knife entering
{ Sine left side below he eleventh rib, and
IA consequence the injured man had
( died. tn, murderer was to be tried.
md som" tyro could avail himself OF the
opportunity 20 defend the doomed man.
! This task fell to young Pierce, just
then entering the profession of law. The
ca was 50 clear that most lawyers of
| oven more experience would have been
content with moving appeal to the
! jury. Not so the embryo executive,
! Who set about in good earnest, despite
all evidence, to prove the man innocent.
First, he adro.tlv managed to have the
trial postponed three months. He then
went to the Office of physician and ask
ed him ii he would take stud mt, init.
mating his desire to pursue q course Of
study IN physiology. The practitioner
stared at the proposition, but responded
III the affirmative, and Pierce began to
: study. and he persevered for the cnsu-
ing three months, taking care to make
himself thoroughly conversant with the
human frame, and charging his memory
| with all technicalities SO that he had
every term at his tongues end. The
trial commenced in usual form; three
surgeons were sworn, who testified that
the man thus wounded must have died
of the wounds inflicted. At length
Piece was permitted to cross.examine
the surgeons. He demanded what It's.
sue and membranes the knife must
have passed. The surgeons, who had
not supposed it incumbent upon them
to study up" could not explain ; they
were, of course, positive that the victim
was murdered, and that the prisoner
ought to be punished; but under the
close questioning of Pierce they halted
and Numbered. This prepared the way
Tor the defence to make an effective plea.
He cautioned the jury against being
swayed by men SO ignorant that thev
could not even tell the names of certain
tissues, and thence clmninglv argued
th't the victim did not die of the wound.

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The Supreme
Court Of tie United States, yesterday,
rendered Il decision in the celebrated
political assessment case of Newton
Curtis, employed in the New York Gus
tom House, and convicted under the
statute forbidding any officer or en-
plOyee OF the government, not appointed
by the President, from receiving from
fellow employee money to be used for
political purposes. The case came be-
fore the Supreme Court on an appIica-
ton for writ of habeas corpus, on the
ground of unconstitutionality, being an
abridgement Of the personal liberty OF
government employees in the capacity
of citizens. The opinion read by Chief
Justice Waite holds the act entirely con-
stitutional, and tending to purity and
efficiency in the public service; that
while it prohibits one employee Of the
government from receiving political
assessment or contribution from anoth-
err it does not prohibit such payments to
persons not in the government employ,
so that an employee may give money to
advance the interests of his party, il so
inclined. Official political assessments
come from the demand to keep III office
an inefficient employee who pays, in pref
ereuce to an efficient one who does not,
and the payment completes his salary.
The tendency is to raise emoluments to
that extent, thereby making the govern
mont pay for keeping in power the exist
ing dominant party. The opinion fur
thor holds that the commitment of pris-
oners pending payment of the fine inn
posed is lawful, and Curtis is remand7d
to the custody of the Marshal for the
Southern District of New York. Justice
Bradley read dissenting opinion, hold
ing that the law was unconstitutional as
an interference with individual liberty.
