BRADY and Dorsey have been caught
in the attempt to bride the jury. After
the jury in the star-route case had
been excused for the day on Sept. 9th,
Judge Wylie said that it had come to
his ears that the members Of the jury
had been approached in the most dis
graceful way, in attempts to influence
their action. He had first heard of it
about week ago, when he had re-
ceived most direct and positive inform
alton of this character. He had then
advised the jurymen to say nothing
about it, as he did not wish to stop the
progress of the case. within the past
twenty-four hours, however, these
wolves that surrounded the jury have
become 6ercer and bolder, and upon
hearing of one attempt, more brazen
and villainous than the other" he had
felt such Indignation that he had near
ly advised the jury to shoot down such
a man on the spot. He had thought
THAI, but had not advised it. He now
adjured the jurymen to spurn such
men with the toe of their boot, to turn
from them with scora. He wished to
warn these men that they were not to
commit such outrages without punish
ment. After this trial perhaps an in
vestigation would follow.

The past summer in New York has
been an exceptionally dull one from a
business standpoint Merchants there
fore hail with delight the signs Of re-
newed activity which have been multi
plying on every hand for week past.
The hotels and boarding houses are
being filled up by arrivals from the
summer resorts and the influx of coun-
try merchants. A correspondent says.
"To be convinced that business has
take fresh start one has only to stroll
through the streets of the wholesale
districts and see the sidewalks blocked
with boxes and bales" A very consid-
cradle share of this increase comes
from the south and southwest, which
sections now appear to have entered
upon season of genuine prosperity.
The eastern, middle states and sonth-
ern transportation companies all report
that they are rarely more fully en-
ployed than at present, so that the
aggregate of goods going forward to
distributing points in the interior must
be very large.

UNTIL recently cotton seed was con-
sidered worthless, and was thrown
away. Now there are seventy-two cot
ton-seed oil mills in the South. They
worked up 100000 tons of seed last
year and produced 100000 gallons Of
oil, worth 50 100000 One-sixteenth OF
tee seed was worked. 1t is estimated
that 10000 gallons could have been
made, worth S30,O00,000. 1t is by uti-
lizing such things and engaging in
manufacturing that a country becomes
rich.

IncIdenttn Scottish History.

Ts the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CoURIER:
 l noticed in the CoUEIEB g letter stating that the episode in a certain play now upon the stage, whers;the hero bars the door by thrusting his arm through the sockets for the bar, was taken from play popular some if ty years since. This is very probably the case, but a similar instance is to be found in Scottish history. On the evening when Ora ham and hIs band of rufians put into execu- tion their plan for killing James L, it hap pened that the King was with the Queen and some of her ladies in one of the rooms of the monastery at which the King was then stay ing. When they heard the murderers ap- preaching. the King, suspectings errand, tried to escape through a trap door to place of safety below, and, to give him time, one of the ladies of the Queen thrust her arm across the door in place of the bar. Though the King had succeeded in opening the trap and descending, he found to his dismsy that the outlet had been built up. He had him self ordered 1t to be closed few days before, but in the excitement of the moment had for gotten the fact. It is unnecessary to say that the brave lady's arm soon broken and the assassins entered. The King however, was not to be seen and they were about to leave the room, when one of their number, remembering the trap door, raised it, found the King beneath, leaped down upon his back, and with the aid Of his comrades soon dispatched him.

Suing Fer the Wedding Presents.


 A case came up yesterday before Justice Campbell, showing the amazing uncertainty of welded bliss, and the exceeding temerity customed to cherish just before entering on mstrimony-it was case, in short, where a very young ex-husbsnd was suing his very young ex-wife and his ex mother in law for the value of the wedding presents Some two years since the plaintiff, aIr. George Draude, then a youth of IS, son of a wealthy citizen of the West End, wooed Miss Laura Jones, who was very willing, and they made 8 match in op- position to the wishes of the young gentle mans parents. The presents were numer- ous and costly-all coming, as Is now claimed, from the friends of the sseam- ! They were separated after little over a [ years married life, during which twins were born to them and died. Last fall the lady i applied for and obtained a divorce. st the i time of the separation she had retained all the personal property, including the gifts of silver at the wedding, which she said would about balance the account between them When the last spark of affection had died out of the breast of the young husband hs demanded the return of the silver, and when the lady refused commenced the suit Its trial before Justice Campbell is said to have been as lively as Sunday school picnic, the l bride and bridegroom making some home ] thrusts at each other, and disclosing family secrets quite recklessly. The bride testified that she had enough of George" and that she intended to keep not only her own pres ents but his too. The good naturei Justice took the case under advisement.

 Spartans, stoics, heroes, saints and gods use
 a short and positive speech They are never

 pant and find truth not enough for them, softepine of the brain has already begun It seems as if imitation was disease incidental to too much use of words; and the remedy lay in recourse to things. 1 am daily struck with the forcibIe underststement of people
 who have no literary habit. The low ex-
 pression is strong and agreeable The citizen dwells in delusions His dress and draper ies, house and stables, occupy him The poor countryman. having no circumstances of carpets. coaches, dinners. wine, and dane ing in bis head to confuse him, is able to look

No wonder the Chinese and Japanese have their doubts about our boasted civilization. At the funeral of a Chinaman in Denver the other day there was shocking scene. The procession was formed with great difficulty, boisterous crowd blocking the way and cry ing Down with the Chinese" At the cemetery there was disgraceful outbreak. The coffin was lowered into the grave amid the taunts and jeers of the mob, which again called out: 'The Chinese must go." The mob pushed forward, crowding several into the open grave, and for time it looked as if they would be trampled to death. But lucki- ly such calamity was ayerted. The marble headstone was broken; the Chinamen were jostled on every side, and vile epithets ap- piled to them, the crowd laughed and yelled and jumped over and into the half filled grave; and succeeded in again frightening the Chinamen so thoroughly that they fled to their carriages and were driven rapidly back to the city.

A pathetic appeal has been addressed to the people of America in behalf of the Russian exiles in Siberia and signed by Vera Zassou- fitch and Peter Zavrof. It speaks of the in
 tense hardships which thousands have to en- dure in that inhOspitable land, and recites again the pitiful stsry of suferings that are we'll known all over the world already. The direct object of the appeal is as follows : Money alone is needed-that much suffer ing may be spared and many sufferers may be saved To raise it, and afterwards dis tribute it among our prisoners, we have formed Red Cross Society of the Peoples Will. It bears no part whatever in our war against authority. It's relation to the revo- Iutionary party is that of the Red Cross so- ciety of Geneva to an army in the field. There is only one difference-that the Red Cross Society of the Peoples Will shares in each and every one of the dangers of the force it would succOr and relieve. Such funds as it may raise will be devoted to but one use. Not penny will be spent upon political exiles and political prisoners. II

The bill concerning car couplers reported by the Railroad committee of the Legislature ought to and probably will pass without ob- struction It provides that all freight cars hereafter built or purchased in this State shall be fitted with couplers so arranged as to render the presence of any person between the ends of the cars for the purpose of coup ling unnecessary. The railroad commis- sioners shall also decide how far above the face of the track all couplers shall be hung, and DO couplers shall be put on new cars or substituted on old ones until they have been approved by the commissioners. The act shall go into effect July l, 1882, and penalty of $50 is fixed for each violation. The bill as reported is a substitute for three legs prac- ticable bills referred to the committee. No coupler has yet been decided upon as the best but it is expected that at the May meet ing of the railroad officials decision will be reached and a coupler be agreed upon for general use throughout the country.
 One by one the great New Jersey thieves are getting their just deserts. Frederick A. Palmer, the ex-City Auditor of Newark, who stole from the city only S22O, 1000, was sen fenced on Saturday to twenty years at hard labor in the State prison. In sentencing him the judge spoke as follows 1t is impos- sibIe to pass over a crime like that which you have committed with light sentence. The sentence must be such as to stamp with in fanny the crime you have committed. You should have thought Of your family and friends before you entered on your career of crime These indictments represent only part of your crimes The whole amount of money which you obtained from the city treasury exceeds $22O,O 1000. You were not the custodian of this money, and you did not accomplish your frauds without neglect on the part of others, but you held position which made it your duty to see that no claims were paid by the city that were not justly due. Part of this money was obtained by forgery and part by warrants paid in plain defiance of the law. To pass over such crimes with a sentence not marked with severity would be miscarriage of justice. You were the chief offender in the perpetra- ton of frauds on the city treasury; that fault was also to be found elsewhere, and was due to carelessness. Your wrongdoing was for your own gain, and the sentence must be in proportion to your guilt. Public credit can only be maintained by wholesome pun ishment of such offenders

The $3,OOO,OO estate of the Burr sisters at New York, which has just been bequeathed to various religious and charitable institu- tions and organizations, consists almost en- tirely of real estate which their father was compelled to take in payment of debt many years ago. He considered it almost worth less, and took it very reluctantly, but of course he did not foresee the great change in value that would be wrought by the growth of New York city.
