Literature and Literature Makers

First of all, the reading world de-
mauds to be entertained. 1t is for this
that it reads-when it reads Only-not
studies. Literature does not bow to it
as humbly as it once did. Literature is
no longer a royal mendicant. And yet
we do not hberate it from subordination
to our caprices. And, under certain
limitations, this attitude is the readers
clear preogative. Literature must be
the sutton in courtship; and all that
lover ought and ought not to be his
mistress, literature ought or ought not
to be to the reading world.
But, then, what ought the reading
world to be? A faithful right-minded,
true hearted mistress, willing to be won
by service, not by servility.
Are we going to demand, asks the
young aspirant, that he bow down to
our crotchets and whims? The require
ment that he shall court and strive to
please, he is ready and eager to meet.
He sees its necessity; but he sees, too,
the danger of its overgrowth. He sees
that if he ever lets that necessity die
tate to him and allows himself to vince
or cringe under the frown of CONNER
cial or political interests; or the petu-
lance of sectional prejudices and self
love; or the hardness of pecuniary re-
turns, or the disregard of the multitude,
his own reading public itself will by
and by turn and impeach him.
We want, consequently, to assure
our young men here that they shall not
have to meet these unjust demands !;
but that our exactions and limitations
shall be such only as are consistent
with the perfection of candor and good
faith in both them and us. Two de-
mands we have fundamental right to
make and we make them both at once.
To wit, that our literary product shall
be at the same time both national and
universal, in character and in value

A JURY.

The last thing In a trial is the verdict
of the jury, which must he unanim-
Gus one. Originally the jurors were
witnesses, and the rule was in the
earliest times that twelve witnesses
must swear to the prisoners guilt be-
fore he could he convicted. just as at
the present time twelve grand jurors
must swear to their belief in his guilt
before he can be put on his trial.
Later on they ceased to be witnesses
and became Judges. The rule that the
jury must be unanimous before the
prisoner can be convicted ia a direct
consequence of the principle that no one
is to be convicted unless his guilt is
proved beyond all reasonable doubt,
and so long as the institution rs pre-
served the principle of unanimity should
be retained. 1t is one of the curiosities
OF legal history, the uncertainty which
prevailed down to within the last quar-
ter of a century or less, what the pre-
siding Judge should do in case the jury
could not agree. One theory was, as
Sir James Stephens says, that the
Judge ought to confne them, without
food or fire, till they did agree. We
We remember, in 1859, Lord Campbell
angrily telling jury, when discharging
them without giving verdict, that the
old law was that the Judge could have
them all put into covered cart, car
ried to the confines of the county, and
there shot into ditch. Lord Lynd-
hurst made fun of this in the House of
Lords, and declared that Lord Camp
bell had been mistaken in his law, and
that all that the Judge could do origin
ally was to carry the jury with him on
his circuit till they did agree, or until
he reached the borders of the county.
Whatever the old rule may have been,
it was solemnly determined in 1866
that in case of necessity the Judge
might discharge the jury and the pris-
oner be committed and tried second
time. Such a rule obviates the objec-
tons which had been entertained to the
principle of unanimity, and possibly
has given the institution of trial by
jury a fresh lease of life. 1t was al
ways regarded as an abuse of power to
subject jurors to any penal consequences
in respect of their verdict, and since the
revolution no attempt of the kind has
been made. -BldcktCOOd's Magazine.

A SINGULAR scene was recently wit
messed in Justices court at Carriers
vile, Ga. An old colored Baptist min
ister, Andrew jackson Carter, sued
Pinckney Carson, white, for $25, and
Carson pleaded set-of of more than
Carriers demand. The lawyers pro-
ceeded with their speeches. One of
them, who is Methodist, said, among
other things, that while there were
some good men among the negro preach
ers, as class they were very great ras-
Gals, and Baptist negro preachers were
the worst of all. The opposing counsel,
who is a Baptist, decided to say some
thing in defense of the moral character
of his client. He grew earnest and the
old darky became very attentive and
tears stood in his eyes, and the court
looked serious. The speaker having
succeeded in moving the audience was
himself moved, and closed by saying in
a solemn manner: MAY it please your
honor, my poor client, instead of all
this TRADE and abuse, ought to hear the
welcome plaudit: Well done, thou
good and faithful servant for thus de-
voting his time and talents in pointing
his people to the word of God that
taketh away the sins of the world. !"
This was more than the old darky
could bear, and with tears running
down his cheeks, he raised his hands
and eyes heavenward, fell upon his
knees and said: Let us iine in pra'r. ]"
Court, lawyers, and bystanders looked
on in amazement while the old darky
prayed earnestly at the top of his voice.
At the conclusion of the prayer the
court rendered judgment in favor of the

The Pope is suffering from rheuma-
tism, partly brought about by the ca
PRECIOUS character of the climate in
Italy. He is also hurt by the constant
tension of experimenting every report
sent out from the Vatican, and anxiety
about the state of Catholic affairs in
France and Ireland. The seclusion to
which Leo XIII. has been condemned
has contributed to his nervous suscept-
Utility, and the medical attendants or
der few weeks change of air. The
difficulty of removal is great He will
not leave the Vatican for any place in
Italy. The proposition of contract
with the Pope on the part of Russia is
known to have been made by Alexander
III. little while before his death, and
the documents whereby the late Gar
advocates an alliance of all the con-
servative and moralizing powers, in re-
sistance to the growing influence OF
atheism and immortality, has been
signed literatim by the present Gar.
The deed was brought to the Pope by
the Grand Duke Vladimir, who imme-
diately appointed representative to
the coronation.

When Crook Was a Captive.

"Gath" writes: Crook entered West
Point in 1913, so that he is, L Judge,
about 81 years old. He was put out in
California as soon as he graduated, and
served at once against the Indians,
whom he has now known for thirty
years. He was wounded with an arrow
twenty-five years ago. The Rebellion
called him away from eight years OF
Indian encounters to the contest of
civilized forces, and he began in West
Virginia, was wounded there, was pro-
NOTED for gallant services at Antietam,
then served in the Western armies at
the head of o division of cavalry, was
at Chickamauga, broke up the gueril-
las, went on several raids, served under
Sheridan, and was taken prisoner by
his subsequent brother-in-law most in
Hospitality at Cumberland, but very
soon released. He was in all Sheri-
dams great battles, commanded all the
cavalry of the army of the Potomac
for while, and was in the big pursuit
to Appomattox. When l saw him last
he was long lean man, loosely put to-
gether, with a rather shy, strange face,
as if he had partly turned into an In
dian. He is an Ohio boy. Anything
wild seems tame to Crook. He wants
no friends, and can do with very little
family. During the war he became
very much interested in Mary Daley, a
young lady of good family living in
Western Maryland, but from Virginia
people living about Moorefeld. Her
people sympathized with the South,
and she had brother member OF
McNeill's semi-guerilla band This
young scapegrace, finding that Gen.
Crook and Gen. Kelly stopped at his
fathers hotel in Cumberland the
former paying attention to his sister
slipped into that hotel and captured
the two Generals in the midst of their
troops, forced them out of their lines
at the very point of the pistol and took
them to Richmond. Crook was then
released, probably through the inter-
cession of his captor. He afterwards
married Miss Daley, and she has been
with him in good many strange
places in the West. His young captor
afterward became sutler at his camp.

Dan Rice's Last Game Of Cards.

was L had more money than they.
They put up their watches and dia-

for she never knew L played cards. I
gave them their jewelry back, but kept
the cash. Canada Bill lost about $780,
900 and the Wheeling chap about $780,
900. Canada Bill was a notorious
gambler and played them high, but
that was the biggest game he ever
played, 1 guess. Pettybone, the poker

how to play cards. From that night
on that boat to this day have never
played a game of cards. "-PiHSburgh

POINTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

AN Ohio man, aroused out of his slumbers
by burglar, pursued the fellow with snote
gun, bat did not succeed in shooting him
Soon the burglar came to a river and plunged
in, but, not being a swimmer, he sank
and was drowned And now the Grand Jury
has indicted the household for murderin the
first degree for not going to the assistance Of
the drowning man This is strange in view
of the fact that had he previously shot the
burglar nothing would have been done to
him.

The Effect Of Billiards on Cattle.

/ have seen billiards on the plains
that swept through man who was clad
in heavy woolens and fur overgarments
as though he was dressed in tarlatan. l
have known parties of buffalo hunters,
men used to hardship, and whose stom-
achs were filled with buffalo marrow,
and who were wrapped in blankets and
robes, to freeze to death in their wagons
while endeavoring to escape from the
uncomfortable, icy blast of an Arctic
blizzard. Cattle, weak and ill-fed on
frost-bitten grass, disappear before
these storms. They drift with the
wind. AS they pass by the air is filled
with the sound of their mournful moan
ing. They wander staggeringly along
over the trackless plains, vainly en-
deavoring to find water with which to
quench the intense thirst produced by
exceedingly cold weather. The water
holes are frozen. The weaker cattle
drop out of the herd. They lie down
to die. The snow drifts around them.
They are freezing to death, and are still
consumed by raging fever. The wolves
attack them as they lie on the frozen
ground unable to rise, unable to pro-
tect themselves. The cry of despair
uttered by the wretched animals when
they realize that the horrible death of
being eaten alive by carnivorous ami
mails is their doom, is an unearthly one.
As the peculiar below of an animal
as it finds the scent of the blood of one
of its fellows on the ground excites
the herd with the information: Here
one of us has been slain, and renders
them unmanageable, so does the death
cry of feeble COW brighten the drifting
herd. They disappear down the wind
The wolves close in on the doomed
animal. She struggles desperately to
arise. In vain. The hungry wolves at
tack her. They tear her open. They
drag her entrails out and devour them
before her eyes. She dies, and the
wolves pick her bones and then gallon
after the herd.-Neao York Sun.

Little Shepherd Dogs.

The best of these dogs are worth
5000, or even more. One herder
showed us very pretty one that he
would not sell for $500. She had at
thai time four young puppies. The
night We arrived we visited his camp,
and were greatly interested in the little
mother and her nursing babies. Amid
those wild vast mountains, this little
nest of motherly devotion and baby
trust was very beautiful. While we
were exclaiming, the assistant herder
came to say that there were over twenty
sheep missing. Two male dogs, both
larger than the little mother, were
standing about, with the hands in their
breaches, doing nothing.
Bat the herder said neither Tom nor
Dicis would find them. Flora must
go. 1t was urged by the assistant that
her foot was sore, she had been hard
at work AL day, was nearly worn out
and must suckle her puppies. The
boss insisted that she must go. The
sun was setting. There was no time
to lose. Flora was called and told to
hunt for lost sheep, while her master
pointed to great forest, through the
edge of which they had passed on their
way up. She raised her head, but
seemed very loath to leave her babies.
The boss called sharply to her. She
rose, looking tired and low-spirited,
with head and tail down, and trotted
off towards the forest. l said: THAT
is too bad"
"Oh, she'll be right back. She's
lightning on stray sheep"
The next morning l went over to
learn whether Flora found the strays.
While we were speaking the sheep were
returning, driven by the little dog, who
did not raise her head or wag her tail
even when spoken to, but crawled to
her puppies and lay down by them,
offering the little empty breasts. She
had been out all night, and, while her
hungry babies were Juggling away, fell
asleep. L have never seen anything SO
touching. SO far as / was concerned,
there was not dry eye in the house. "
How often the scene comes back to
me-the vast, gloomy forest, and little
creature, with her sore foot and her
heart crying for her babies, limping
and creeping about in the wild canons
all through the long, dark hours, find
ing and gathering in the lost sheep!-

How to Cure COrns.

There are multitudes of corn cures,
some of which are supposed to operate
by some mysterious magical agency,
and others by chemical action upon the
corn. The latter are the only ones to
be depended upon. The following is a
simple and effective remedy, known as
the Algerian corn cure: Acetic acid,
l ounce; iodine, 81 grains; alcohol, l
ounce. Dissolve the iodine in tho alco-
hol and add the acetic acid. A few
drops of the liquid are to be rubbed on
the corn morning and evening, so as to
gradually dissolve it. The same RENE
dy will be found effectual for removing
warts, if applied daily for a week or
two
