A Judge and the Verdict of Jury

Curious comments by judge even
in the presence of prisoner, though
extremely rare, are not unpreceden
ted. Mr.. Justice Maule once address
ed phenomenon of innocence in a
smoke-frock In the following words:
Prisoner at the bar, your counsel
thinks you innocent; the counsel for
the prosecution thinks you innocent.
But jury of your own countrymen
In the exercise of the common sense
they possess, which does not seem to
be much, have found you Guilty;
and it remains that l should pass up
on you the sentence of the law That
sentence is that you be kept In prison
one day, and as that day was yester-
day, you may now GO about your bu
siueSs.n The unfortunate rustic, rath-
er scared went about his business, but
thought the law was an uncomonly
pulling business.

One Way officiating Servants.
Boston Budget.

l never shall forget the servants
sleeping room in very simple house
hold once was in. Everything was
fresh and clean and wholesome look
ing. The two iron bed-steads comfort
ably made, the window curtains spot
less, the two bureaus neatly arranged,
the floor nicely matted and with a
strip of carpet before each bed, and on
the walls some pretty colored pictures.
The Mistress of this genial, simple
house told me that she labored for a
year before she could induce her two
maids to see the beauty and comfort
in such order, but now they felt it
keenly, and it had affected their work
and spirits very visibly. Near their
kitchen was small room, which Mrs.
had fitted up snugly for a sitting
room and place to take their meals in.
There was a chest of drawers in which
were their napkins and tablecloths
and their own bed linen, and nice
glass doored case showed their china.
My friend told me that for some time
her maids actually preferred to use
the kitchen. but she finally won them
over to a great pride in their neat lit
tie room, and she said the effect upon
their characters and work was speed
ly visible. Occasionally she would
bring IN some flowers, or pretty, mex
pensive ornament for them; she took
a good illustrated weekly paper en-
tirely for their use, requiring them to
file it, and before long genuine taste
for refinement and surroundings and
manner he'd developed: These two
servants had come to her very I'M
couth and untutored. but certainly
when l saw them, after three years
residence with Mrs. -, they were
far the most respectful and well man
nered servants [ have ever seen in
America OF course some people
would aver this sort of consideration
would spoil" servant, but it seems
to me that the very first means of
teaching the servants of to-day what
she ought to do, is to make her feel
that her mistress home is her home,
the place she is to work in as little as
possible and escape from during every
possible hour.

The narrative was interrupted by
the entrance of a young lady friend
and Mrs. Churchill, and the thread of
the discourse was regained by Col.
Churchill telling for the first time
how Sacramento scoundrel had tried
to blackmail him by asking for three
500 bills. A decoy letter was sent
and the fellow arrested by Postoffice
Inspector Schuarte. He was after
